To the Editor: I noticed somewhere recently I would not say positively that it was in your columns an article on the White House which contained several mis-statements. In the first place it was stated the White House was first occupied in 1809, and that its first occupant was President Madison. The fact is, its first occupant was President Adams, who took up his residence there in 1S00. The original mansion was begun In 1792. in 1814 It was burned by the British and rebuilt in 1818. Another of the errors in the arti cle referred to wasthe statement that ready-prepared paint is used on the White House to make it beautifully white. I noticed this especially because 1 have used considerable paint myself. and wondered that "canned" paint should be used on such an important building, when all painters know that pure white lead and linseed oil make the best paint. It so happened also that i knew white lead and linseed oil not ready-mixed paint were used on the White Housed because I had just read a booklet published by a firm of ready-mixed paint manufacturers, who also manufacture pure whfte lead. In that book the manufactur ers admitted thRt for the White House nothins but "the best ani purest of paint could be used," and said that thpir pure white lead had been selected. Above all people those who at tempt to write on historical subjects should give us facts, even If it is only a date or a statement about wood, or brick, or paint, or other building material. Yours for truth, Lu A TALK TO WIVES. Now while a woman is apt to sur round any action of her married lifa with sentiment, it is a fact that men, ts a rule, have no sentiment what ever about money. To have to maka t is a daily necessity, to spend it is mother necessity, unconnected with "feeling." A man does not pay out money for a harrow because he loves the hardware dealer, nor even be :ause the hardware dealer needs the money to carry on his business, nor because he ought to give some com pensation for the harrow when he benefits by it He pays for it because he wants the harrow and can"t get It In any other way. It's business. Now running a household la business, aul should be put on that basis and that alone. The only remedy for needless humil-'ations to a woman, and need less irritation to a man, is to have tn allowance for necessary expenses. It can be done where there is any in come at all; it disposes of the little constant appeals that are so trying, and it spares the husband the Intro duction of the word "money" at home, when he is sick of hearing it and hav ing it on his mind all day.

So. 35-'06 OOUl NHillT'S SLEEP. Xo Medicine So Beneficial to Brain and Nerves. Lying awake nights makes it hard to keep awake and do things in day time. To take "tonics and stimu lants" under such circumstances is like setting the house on fire to see If you can put it out. The right kind of food promotes refreshing sleep at night and a wide awake individual during the day. A lady changed from her old way of eating to Grape-Nuts and says: "For about three years I had been a great sufferer from Indigestion. After trying several kinds of medi cine the doctor would ask me to drop off potatoes, then meat, and so on, but In a few days that craving, gnaw ing feeling would start up an I would vomit everything I ate and drank. "When I started on Grape-Nuts, vomiting stopped, and the bloatm feeling which was so distressing dis appeared entirely. "My mother was very much both ered with diarrhea before commenc ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was so weak she could not digest her food. Since using Grape Nuts she is well, and says she don't think she could live without it. "It is a great brain restorer and nerve builder, for I can sleep as sound and undisturbed ater a sup per of Grape-Nuts as in the old days when I could not realize what they meant by a "bad stomach." There is no medicine so beneficial to nerves and brain as a good night's sleep, such as you can enjoy after eating Orape-Nuts." Name given by Poitum Co., Battle Crtek. Mich. "ThMVa a reasea." THE PULP1T. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BV DR. W. S. LEWIS. Subject; The Secret of the Lord. Brooklyn, N. T. President W. S. Lewis, D. D of Morningside College, Sioux' City, la., is the vacation preacher in the Hanson Place M. E. Church. He began his services there Sunday morning and had a good au dience. He is an excellent preacher. His subject was "The Fear of the Lord." The text was from Psalm xxv.: 14: "The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenants." Dr. Lewis said: Words, like men, are affected by the atmosphere in which they live. A word spoken 3000 years ago, but to another people, and In another clime, may fail to represent its highest and best meaning to those born in anoth er age and under other skies. Many yearB have flown since this word was spoken, and at least one of these in the text needs a word of explanation fear. The good Book Bays: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom," but reference is made in the New Testament to the fact that perfect love casteth out fear. Thanks to the cross, the broken tomb, the de scent of fire which spoke on cloven tongue, for a changed atmosphere, in which our text may read: "The secret of the Lord is with them that love Him." The problem of knowledge Is not that, but how. It is. A few small philosophers have doubted the fact that they knew, but that is carrying doubt to the point of insanity. We know, and we know we know; the bow that we know Is the problem That an idea may be passed from one mind to another, may even by crys tallized into a word and remain pent up there from century to century, to break forth Into another mind, to be reflected on, and on, through the ages. How this is, 13 more than we know. How that the mind may get a voice from the rocks so that the mountains shall speak and make themselves understood, and from the sky and from the sea. We know they speak, but how? That is the ques tion. Do you think that God, who has expressed His love in flower, in brook, in sky, should have exhausted all His resources to make Himself known as He speaks from nature? God speaks to the heart, the inner world is His realm. This is His throne, and He leaves His secrets there to become the seed of thought, of inspiration and of action. The great problem of hearing His word and then to translate it through the tongue, the finger tips and footprints, so that it shall become the living word to otner ioiks, is the problem ol the hour. To whom wljl God speak? We raise this question to answer it by asking you to whom do you commit the secrets of your heart? Do you tell those who revile you, who have no faith in you, who speak ill of you? Do you tell these the secrets of your heart? It's a great thing to be a friend, to know how to awaken the spirit of friendship in others. To whom do you commit your secrets? The first quality of friendship is the capacity for faith. You cannot trust those in whom you do not believe. You cannot Inspire in them the first note of friendship. The captious critic- has no friends. The teacher who asks his pupil the hardest ques tions and criticises him because he falls to answer; the preacher who be gins his service and ends it with a spirit of criticism, will not awaken in the heart the deepest, the best in spirations. We must begin by say ing: "I believe in you." We must have the capacity for seeing the best and the truest In people. We are commanded In ttje good Book tbat we should love one another, and I trust we do, but I am thankful that that does not include that command that we must like everybody, for there are some folks whom it is hard to like, and of these are the thin voiced, pinched-faced, hollow-eved critic. The first quality, then, is that of inspiring people with the idea that we believe in them, and if we have faith in others, they will have faith in us, for faith in the heart be gets faith in one another. It is so With God. If we would know TTfm nnri o -matron nritnin Tji even of committing to us His secrets. we must believe, for with the heart tne man trerrevetn -unto nguujottangss that righteousness which brings the image of God into the face of clay. And then, too, we must tell our friends that we believe in them. I love flowers much, but pray you do not reserve them all for the funeral. Tell your friends you believe them; tell them that you love them. Speak with your lips, speak with your eye, speak with your finger tips. Tell them you love them. And God, too, is touched by the same testimony. "With the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Another quality ab solutely essential to friendship, ab solutely essential to true friendship with man and with God and that is downright, sincere heart honesty. I heard a man say the other day: "My religion is to pay my debts." He answered the question of how much he is worth by a round $50,000, and I said: "Of course, you pay your debts. There is one a little less great than the Almighty who would be af ter you if you did not, for Uncle Sam sees to that." You will pay your debts, but that is not the measure of honesty in the sense in which I speak it now. It is that sort of spir itual honesty that would blush deep ly to think a falsehood or to harbor in the heart one moment a shadowy thought. It is the kind of honesty that is born of a pure heart a heart touched by the sunlight of His infi nite love, a heart that is made clean by the Dower of His spirit, bucn sin cerity as this, such downright hones ty of purpose, is loved of men and God alike. It is the basis of true friendship with man and with God. I read a new text the other day. It was as old as the voice of David, but it came with a new voice, thus: "The Lord made known His ways unto Moses, and His acts unto the children of Israel." This is the dis tinction between Moses and the chil dren of Israel. Moses understood tne act of God, but some way he had the soul-reach which recognized the finger of God uniting act to act -to tell the sweet story of His love. I re member once, when the children of Israel were hungry, and Moses cried to God. In the morning, on the sand of the desert, everywhere, were little round, white loaves, and the Israel ite, standing in the door of his tent, said: "What is it?" "Manna." He ate the gift of God and his hunger was satisfied, and said in his heart: "This is the act of God." But Moses, looking on hungry Israel, satisfying Its appetite, and looking up to the blue, said: "This is the way of God." Again, the Israelites cried for food, and Gnd at tha word at Hoses sent quails, and covered the camp, and the Israelites ate, and were satisfied, satisfied with the act of God, but the spirit of Moses would not rest until he saw through the act to the heart beat of God, and he saw in quails, in rain, in fire, everywhere, when God spoke, he saw His way. And once, when he climbed the mountain and stood in the presence of Jehovah for forty days, so catching the heart-beat of the Infinite that his face shone with peculiar glory, and he must needs cover it with a veil ere the chil dren of Israel would look upon him. Would you know the difference be tween Moses and the children of Israel? Their bones were the wilderness, while he, lo: climbed Nebo's height, and, as old tradition says, God kissed his spirit from his body and buried the clay with His own hand, and gath ered the soul to His bosom. we have heard from him once since. when on tha Mountain of Transfigur ation with Elijah he talked with the man of sorrows concerning the death which He should accomplish at Jeru salem. Moses lives because ne learned the ways of God. And would you know the secret of this in every day life? Some of you have said: "I am poor; I was born poor, and I have held my own." l saw a poor wuuwu the other day. I was directed through a gate into a pasture, down over a hill, through another gate into a green plot of meadow, and there was a little lonely house. The chairs were Door, the stool was broken poverty everywhere, save only in the face of the woman. Every joint save one was stiff with Incurable disease, and with the right hand she toiled busily on for the little ones taht gath ered about her feet. I thought that I would bring her a word of consola tion, but it was I that was consoled, for in the silence and sorrow of pov erty God had talked to her, and her face shone with His beauty, and her eye was bright with His glory. Her words were like ointment poured forth. She lived in the heart of the beatitudes. And once I saw a rich man whose money came easy, and one day he heard the voice of God, and like a brook from the mountain he poured forth his dollars to sweet en and bless society, as the brook makes beautiful the meadows through which It runs on its way to the ocean. He had learned the way of God in riches. And this is what I would say whether the gift be poverty or riches, sickness or health, prosperity or ad versity, cloud or shine they are but the acts of God, and out of these acts He allows us to weave the story of His love, and to learn the beautiful lesson of His ways to the children of men. Could I tell it all in one word, it is this: Can you remember the days when the smoke of the awful war be tween the North and the South was beginning to drift toward the ocean? Can you remember the last days of the war? One incident lingers in my memory. It was up in the Adiron dack Mountains. A boy had gone from the home early in the sixties gone to the war. Day after day a mother had prayed prayed with such importunity, prayed with such faith, that the boy might come home but the winter of '65, in March, the snow had fallen so deep that it povered the fence, and then a thaw, and then a frost, and the crust was so thick that a beast could walk over it without breaking through. In the early days of .March a friend walked fourteen miles over the mountains. He came to the home, and brought a paper, and said: "A battle has been fought, a battle down on the ocean at Fort Fisher, and a stronghold has been taken." And then his voice grew hoarse. He said the battle had cost us much, and then a tear came Into his eye, and then he read a long list of the slain, and when his voice spake one word it read: "Charles Li , killed in the fort, buried n . the trenches. And the woman did not cry out. but went up stairs and staved there all the rest of that day and that night, and until the after noon of the next day. We thought she might never come down, for we had learned of Moses in the presence of God. But in the afternoon she came down, and her face shown like the face of an angel. In the secret of a great sob you may learn the se cret of God. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will show them His covenants. The Chief Duty. There are times when it is a duty to make money; but the man does not live whose chief duty it is to make money, nor whose chief atten tion can safely be given to money- making. If one gives monay-making first place, both his work an.', his judgment are undermined and un reliable. If he lets the opportunity to make money be the usual deter mining factor in his decisions, he is building character on about as stable a foundation as that man who heard Christ's words and did them not. In at least nine cases out of ten there is a better reason for cr against any given course of action than a money- making reason, Those who will not b?llet thJ? soon come to be recog nized by their fellows as branded by the dollar mark. And such a mark is the sign of a slavery which robs life of all its real r ?hness. Make a Friend of Christ. As we must spend time in cultivat ing our earthly friendships if we are to have their blessings, so we must spend time in cultivating the com panionship of Christ. lie Kind. God has put in our power the hap piness of those about us, and that is largely to be secured by our being kind. Henry Drummond. WHEN THE INDIAN UNBEND? He Does Not Always Stalk Solemnly and Silently About. It would brighten up the red man's reputation if a few more frivolous pale faces could take an occasional meal with a group of Navajo Indians on thek native Arizona heath, as did Julian A. Dimock, a writer from Rec reation. "When the dinner hour found us far from the shore." says he, "we of ten went to some nearby hogan, and joining the circle around the sage brush lire invited ourselves to dino with the family. Usually the dinner was of mutton, broiled over the coals on a gridiron Improvised from pieces of heavy wire; ears of green corn roasted before the fire and a kind of ash cake made from corn ground with stones into a coarse meal, mixed with water and salt, wrapped in green husks and cooked in the ashes. "Often the Indians were like a group of children; jokes passed back and forth and every one laughed be tween mouthfuls. Some merriment over a remark that seemed to have concerned me led me to ask for a trans lation, which was: 'The woman says that one of the dogs has been carrying that stick you are using as a fork around in his mouth.' There was a single knife, and a family spoon did stirring duty in many cups, but the forks, being fingers, were in dividual. "An Indian seated opposite me, with grave expression and dignified de meanor, seemed like a character from one of Cooper's tales. I looked for the passing of a pipe of peace and an-, Indian oration, but when this noble red man lifted his hand it wa3 to reach forward and tickle with a feather one of the children. He then quickly resumed his former attitude and assumed an expression of out raged innocence when accused by the tickled child." They're findine thorium In the island of Ceylon. You can't keep any thing hidden now that the rage of in vestigation and exposure is in full cry. is the comment of the Kansas City Star. rs -eK willin r TATE NEWS Items of Interest Gleaned From Various Sections FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEASHORE Minor Occurrences of .the Week of Interest to Tar Heels Told in Para graphs.

It is an an cient danger. Men from the earliest period have drifted toward the cities. Aristotle's wisest remark was, per- haps, the observation that man was ! born to be a citizen, that is the deni zen of and the active worker in a city. That also is what civilization means the transforming of men into citi zens. It was Paul's proud boast that he was the citizen of no mean city. There is no doubt that in our civili zation ;,nd in our culture the city is the centre, the heart. j It was the genial Cowper's opin ion that the country was the better place, for the quaint reason that "God made the country, and man made the town." A little common sense would have told him that it was precisely for this reason that man preferred the city. The usually wise Lowell also had a ridiculous no tion on the subject. He wrote, "Be fore man made us citizens, great na ture made us men." He forgot that until man had made himself a citizen he was only half a man, primitive, savage, barbaric. The city was and is absolutely necessary. It illustrates a great economic law, tbat of combi nation. Just as commerce must combine to achieve its highest and best results, so man must combine in order to realize himself, to attain the best of which he is possible, work of developing man in its human hothouses; there is now some danger that the tendency of men to flock to the big towns will result in the im poverishment of many countries and in dertiment to the race. The cities, like all other receptacles, are limited. They cannot be made to contain more than their just measure, and In the overcrowded cities -.ve see nature re tracing her evolutionary processes, and denaturing men, making them anemic, degenerate, weaklings, with out the red blood of a vigorous life, anil sinking Into decay. The cities can hold only their allotted share, and, after all, these must be sup pc ted by the country. The culture a'nd the civilization of this day and of every other time rests and has rested upon the farm. The loss of a stout and prosperous farming class, as Goldsmith pointed out though it had been observed before "when once destroyed, can never be sup plied." No country can be self-sustaining or therefore really prosper ous, 'without independent, thrifty, prosperous farmers. The ideal con dition would be one in which there were cities "crowded with culture" Bostons, Athens, Parises surround ed by gardens and farms; the cul tured life of the metropolis of wealth and fashion and art, much of its best results reflected in the homes of in dependent planters, constituting but tho flower of our civilization. But, in tne meanwhile, tne boys are leaving tne larms. why: tnat is uie question, mat u. w. isaney, j Director of the College of Agricul- j ture of Cornell University, asks in the July Century magazine, and does not definitely answer. He tries to gee tne deserters irom tns ranks of the farm to answer it. but their j reasons are not at all satisfactory, For instanca, forty per cent, of them : say that they left the farm because ' it was not remunerative. Seventeen per cent, replied that they left be cause the farmer is under "distinct social disabilities." One-fifth, or ' twenty per cent, offered as one rea- ! son for getting away from the farm ' the excessive hard work. i The investigator seems a little surprised by the result of his efforts. He concludes his article by saying: "I have no purpose at present to TALKS WITn AL,1j animats. Denver Man Confident He Has Dis covered Secret of Universal Speech. Because he declared he had solved the universal language between ani mal and man, Thomas Sylvester, seventy-two years old, a member of a prominent English family, declares his neighbors are trying to drive him out of his home in Barnum by using explosives about his house at night, says the Denver News. Sylvester first gained notoriety last year when complaint was made against him for harboring a full grown wolf as a pet, which he al lowed to roam about the streets. The animal was said to be vicious, and Sylvester was forced to dispose of it. Since then he has acquired three dogs, which he says tell him every thing that goes on in the neighbor hood, and with whom he can converse freely. For this reason, he says, his neighbors dislike him. Yesterday he said to Captain of Police Lee: "Because I can talk to my dogs the neighbors don't like me. I have al ways been of an inquiring turn of mind, and I have associated with ani mals more than with men. I got to thinking about a universal language, and one day I discovered the secret. One of my dogs came to me when I was lying down. He put his nose close to my face and said, 'I love you so.' Through investigation I found the great universal language was not speech at all, but thought transfer ence. I can now talk with and under stand any animal in the world." Frog to a Frog's Rescue. One day a couple of my friends were sitting on the river bank when they heard the cry of a frog in dis tress. Following the direction from which the sound came, they discov ered a snake in the act of swallowing a frog. Just then another frog, evU deutly attracted by the distressing cries of its mate in jeopardy, hopped up to the see e of action. For a mo ment it sat blinking at the enemy; then leaped forward, seizea me snake by the neck and tugged it into the river. The water quickly poured between the snaite s aistenaea jaws and it was of course compelled to release its victim in order to escape drowning. This it promptly did, and the liberated frog swam away with its plucky mate, -vhile the bamd snake wriggled as best it could to the shore. Woman's Home Compan- ion. AVherc Germany Fails.

Peanuts have done fairly well. comment on the replies I shall be content if they challenge my reader." The reasons assigned seem to us totally worthless. They may be sin cere, and they may explain the rban- donment of the farms by the boys who offer them, but they are not satisfactory in themselves, because they do not present the true condi tion. Four boys out of every ten of the deserters for instance, give as the reason for their flight that the farm is not remunerative. Yet there never was a time when farming was so remunerative as it is to-day. It may not be remunerative on the rocky hillslopes of New England, where lie so many abandoned farms; but it is remunerative throughout the entire South, the West, and the Southwest. It pays well even in the somewhat crowded States of the North and Middle West. The pros perity of the South to-day rests firm ly upon the cotton fields and the orchards and the truck gardens, There are planters in this State that makes incomes of $12,000 a year, clear profit, upon their farms. That means that the man who can do this Is rich; he is more than prosperous The farm-lands of the South bring in thousands of fortunes in each year s narvest. rne seaboard is being transformed into a garden and is yielding independence and wealth to many thousands of planters. There is money in farming; tne larni is remunerative more remunerative than it ever was. As to hard work, the farmer has a far easier time of It than the clerk in the store or the telegraph opera tor at his desk or than millions of boys and men and girls and women in the crowded cities. The nature of the work on the farm the grimi- ness of it, the hours of labor in the hot sun, the lowly kind of work that the boy on the farm has to do this has more to do with driving him in to the fancied paradise of the city than the hardness of the tasks on the farm. But the farm loses little by the desertion of those who are afraid of "hard work." There is something to be said for the social disability of the boy on the farm. He is shut off from most society, and shut out of some. It is true that he has a social circle of his own; but if he be a bit ambitious and not content to wait until he wins opportunity, this condition will chafe him. Here, also, the farm-boy of the South has a distinct advantage over the farm-boy of the North. The farmer of the South is a tower of strength, and stands "four-square to all the winds that blow." He is second to nobody. He is the peer of the best. This is largely due to the old "aristocratic" system of the South, which had its foundations on the plantation. We have inherited good, clean, honorable traditions that dignify and exalt the calling of the farmer. The boy should not leave the farm. He should own land as soon as possible and attain independence throush his own labor. There is no other condition so pleasant, so prom iSjng so gratifying to the temper and disposition and tastes of healthy manhood as that of farming, It is the true life and calling of the "gentleman" in the broadest and best sense of that word. It is almost the only post in our complex civili zation in which a man may be truly independent and enjoy in middle life and age leisure and comfort and hap piness. Don't leave the farm. Stick to it, and it will-be the making of you, if ! you will do there your true part in j the battle of life. Columbia (S. C.) ' state. i A NEW YORK SKYSCRAPER. More Persons Ride on Its Elevators Than on Trolleys of a Small City. Wherever the fame of the New York skyscrapers has spread some vague idea of the enormous capacity of these colossal structures must have been formed, but it is not improbable that few persons living right in the metropolis have ever made a careful study of the activities of these com mercial centres. Perhaps there are those who would laugh to scorn the statement that a single building in New York is entered daily by 50,000 persons, or as many as the entire pop ulation of Harrisburg, Pa., or other similar cities of the United States like Houston, Texas; Akron, Ohio; Lin coln, Neb., and more than there are persons in cities of the size of Mont gomery, Ala. Wherever mch a state ment may be discredited, it is nec essary only to point out the fact that an accurate count was made one day by F. T. H. Bacon, superintendent of the Park Row Syndicate Building, one of the most conspicuous of the New York skyscrapers, of every per son who entered the elevators of that edifice. It was a simple matter to station guards at every entrance to the building and give each person entering a Ccket, -"hich ticket was taken up by the elevator drivers. At the close of the day these tickets were counted, and it was found that something more than 50,000 persons had ridden on the elevators that day. This is said to exceed the number of fares collected by the entire street car system of Nashville, Tenn., in a single day, this information coming from a former superintendent of the trolley service of that city, who v as subsequently employed as one of the agents of the Park Row skyscraper.

Don't neglect backache. It warns you of trouble in the kidneys. Avert the danger by curing the kidneys with Doan's Kidney Pills. J. A. Haywood, a well known resident of Lufkin, Tex., says: "I wrenched my back working in a sawmill, was laid up six weeks, and from that time had pain in my back whenever 1 stooped or lifted. The urine was badly disordered and for a long time I had attacks of gravel. After I began using Doan's Kidney Pills the gravel passed out, and my back got well. I haven't hrl back ache or bladder trouble since." Sold by all dealers. 50 cants a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Let not the sun look down and say inglorious here he lies. Franklin.

Unqualified Success of Lydia E. Pink hum's Vegetable Compound In the Cose of Mrs. Fannie D. Fox. One of the greatest triumphs of Lydia E. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound is the conquering of woman s dread en emy, Tumor. The growth of a tumor is so sly that frequently its presence is not suspected until it is far advanced. So-called "wandering' pains" may come from its early stages, or the presence of danger may be made mani fest by profuse monthly periods, accom panied by unusual pain, from the abdomen through the groin and thighs. If you have mysterious pains, if there are indications of inflammation or dis placement, secure a bottle of Lydia K. l'inkham's Vegetable Compound right away and begin its use Mrs. Pinkham. of Lynn, Mass., will five you her advice if you will write her about yourself She is the dauph-ttr-in-law of Lydia K Pinkham and for twenty five years lias been advising sick women free of charge. Dear Mrs. Pinkliom: " I take the lilierty to congratulate you on the success I have hud with your wonderful medicine. Eighteen months hc;o my periods stopped. Shortly aft-r 1 felt so badly that I submitted tc a thorough examination by a physician ami was toi.l tbat I had a tumor and would have to undergo an operation. ' Soon otter I read one of your advertise ments and dwided to ;ii'e Lydia E. I'ink hnin's Vegrtahlo Compound a trial. After taking five bottles us directed the tumor is entirely gone. I have fceen examined by a physician and he says I have no signs of a tumor now. It has aNo brought my periods around once more, and 1 am entirely well." Fannie D.
