A Gentlewoman in Service.
Lady Louisa Stewart, an
Englishwoman, writing in the
first part of the last century,
gives a description of a maid in
her service who evidently en
dowed her station with a grace
not inferior to that of a higher
lot. The description reflects
credit upon both mistress and
maid.
My friend rather than ser
vant, Cross, is soon to retire
from my service, in which she
has been, for eight and twenty
vears, one of the chief blessings
and comforts of my life.
Her superior sense, clear
judgment and quick decision,
iter elevated mind, her steadi
ness of principle, her delicacy
of feeling would have been ad
mired in a princess; I hardly
know one of my acquaintances
for whom I have so perfect an
esteem.
Instead of feeling that I can
rely on the integrity of the
servant, I respect the honor ol
the gentlewoman ; and becaust
«he is thus high-minded, she b
tar humbler and more easily
contented than any other per
son I ever saw iu her situatiou.
>'o madam, what does it
signify?" is her constant say
ing about things that would
make others stand on their dig
nity.
No quarrels, no difficulties
ever came to my ears. Tht
servants below her are guided
with a firm yet gtntle hand.
She has a contempt for gossip
ting and tattling, and she has a
r~> P'
disinterested spirit; indeed sin
i iias such a head and heart as 1
do not find met together cveii
among my equals.—Selected.

President Monroe's "Progress."
In Dr. Edward Everett
Hale's "Memories of a Hun
dred Years," now appearing as
a serial in the Outlook, he tells
an amusing story about Mon
roes visit to Harvard in 1817.
The President, as soon as he
was President, the same man
who "never was in trade and
knew nothing about it," array
ed himself to see the commer
cial States, and even to cross
the new-born West and show
himself to the people who were
creating a nation there. In my
boyhood, this journey of his,
which began on the 31st day ol
May, 1817 aud did not end un
til October of the same year,
was called "The President'.•
Progress." Washington's sim
ilar journey in 1791 was alway>
called 'Washington's Progress
There is a little touch of bur
lesque when one reads tha«
President Monroe arrayed him
self in the o!d bug and blue  f
Revolution with an old-fashioi>
ed three-cornered soldier's hat
There is just a touch of absur
dity about this, because his mil
itary exploits were, of hiswhol
life, the enterprises which hi
friends would have most gladh
forgotten.
There is a good Harvarc
tradition which I may put ii
print without hurting anybody
At a meeting of the little col
lege faculty in the year 1817, i
.vas announced that Blank, «•
spirited senior, must be"suspen
den," I suppose his mark:-
were not high enough, or his at
tendance at chapel had beei
irregular. Dear, courteous,
kindly Dr. Kirkland, who was
the President, was supposed tt
be dozing in his chair as the
march of college goverumeni
.vent forward ; but at this pro
posal to suspend Blank he rous
dto life and activity, "Sent
away Blank, when Monroe if
•oming? Who will commaut
my Harvard Washington Corp
when the President visits th«
College?" The Harvard Wash
ington Corps was the millitan
establishment of the collept
boys at that time. Dr. Kirk
land could put his foot dowi
when he chose. And so it
chanced that Blank was retain
ed in college and that the Har
vard Washington Corps, whicl
he commanded, presented arms,
at the proper time and in tht
proper way to the President of
the United States. Aud so i
happened that, fifty years after
Harvard University received a
very important and very ex
pensive new building from an
alumnus who on that day com
manded the Harvard Washing
ton Corps.
la Grippr Qntclil]' Cured.
"In the winter of 1898 and
1899 I was taken down with a
severe attack of what is called
La Grippe," says F. I. Hew
ett. 111. "The only medicine I
used was two bottles of Cham
berlain's Cough. Remedy. It
broke up the cold and stopped
the coughing like magic, and
I have never since been
troubled with Grippe." Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy can al
ways be depended upon to break
up a severe cold and ward off
any threatened attack of pneu
monia. It is pleasant to take,
too, which makes it the most
desirable and,one of the most
popular preparations in use for
these ailments. For sale by
Hood & Grantham.
Like Vance's Catfish.
A Wilkes county man whose
whiskey was recently sieved by
revenue men complains that it
shrunk 213 gal. while in theii
custody. A careless- accusation
like that is likely to cause
trouble. It requires embar
rassing explanations. The
suspicion that they sold it is
actually cruel while a sugges
tion that they drank it brings
into controversy the question of
a "revenue's" capacity for put
ting it away. Thero is an oc
casional one reported as car
rying tankage of abnormal
proportions, but the fellow who
got outside of 213 gallons of
Wilkes county whiskey and
lived afterward has certainly
established a new record.—

What Jie Was There For.
There is at least one court ii
'he world, an English Midland
issizes, the judge of which
not afraid to say that black is
olack, The Birmingham Post
gives the following glimpse of
:iis method of dealing out jus
ice :
A respectable-looking man
vas iu the court in the autumn
-ession. The charge was theft.
The aggregate value involved
vas considerable, and the plea
was guilty, but it was alleged
hat there were extenuating
rircumstances.
The defense introduced a
•uedical expert to testify for
the prisoner. He said that the
-elf-confessed thief had klepto
mania.
"What' 9 that?" asked the
judge gravely.
"Er—it's—er—a disease, my
ord," said the astonished ex
pert.
"What kind of a disease?"
isked the judge.
"Well, it's a—er —a mental
lisease that causes the subject
-o appropriate property not tiis
own," stammered the physi
cian .
"Makes him steal?" asked
the judge.
"Yes, my lord' that is gen
erally the effect."
"I know the disease," said
his honor, a grim smile in his
eyes. "I know the disease,
and I am sent here to cure it."

The Man and his Debts.
Once upon a time a business
man who was tottering on the
brink of failure allowed his
debts to remain long unpaid.
His creditors held a meeting
and appointed one of their
number a committee to investi
gate his affairs and report. The
committee reported in language
more forcible than elegant,
that the debtor had "gone up."
Thereupon the committee was
instructed to notify him to im
mediately "come down" with
the cash, which the debtor ab
solutely failed to do.
