President Eliot. O NEWS AND NOTES. Death of Mr. J. L. Sydnor. North Wilkesboro, N. C., March 21.' Mr. J. L. Sydnor, a prominent busi ness man of this place, died Wednes day at 11:30 a. m. of heart failure. Mr. Sydnor has been sick for thirteen weeks, but of late seemed very much improved and was out on the streets Tuesday. The end came very sudden ly and quietly, and was a great shock to the whole town. Mr. Sydnor was born in Richmond, Va., Sept IS, 1840. He served with distinction in the civil war. He was a member of Stonewall Jackson's fa mous brigade, and was one of Jack son's trusted couriers and was serv ing in that capacity when Jackson met his death. Mr. Sydnor came to North Wilivcs boro eight years ago and has been ac tively engaged in business here since that time. He was president and gen eral manager of the Farmers' Imple ment Company. . He leaves a wife and six children. Of this number, three live here: Mr. W. A. Sydnor, Mrs. E. A. Spainhour, Mrs. J. W. White. The other daugh ter, Mrs. Lafitte, lives in Florida, and two sons, Messrs. Eugene and Stan ley Sydnor, live in Richmond, Va. Mr. Sydnor was buried in Richmond, Va., by I.:.; eld comrades of the Rob ert E. Lee Camp of United Confeder ate Veterans. He was a man of the old school, a typical southern gentle man of the type that is passing away. He will be greatly missed here. t riliiii not oven talking." ;'.i. a man." retorted the Bachelor i;:ri vonrnientiy. always Knows just; :':: -n and whore he is going to stop' -liythin before he begins.

It's when he grows frank and gets tir ed of fictit ionizing and posing for her that it is time for her to take her fin gers out of her ears and listen for the striking of the alarm clock."

According to Roman Catholic author ities, there were 13,877,422 members of that Church in the United States at the beginning of the present year. One hundred German pastors have been invited to visit London for a few days next summer as guests of the Metropolitan Free Church Federation, of which a Quaker, J. Allen Baker, is president. The mornings of the visit will be devoted to fraternal confer and the evenings to mass-meetings. Rev. R. J. Campbell, of City Temple, London, proposes to fdrm a new re ligious organization for the promulga tion of the "new theology." The theological seminary at Bangor, Me., recently held a series of "semi nary extension" meetings, attended by ministers and laymen from all over the state, and addressed by men of nation ai prominence, including Dr. yashing ton Gladden and Dr. Henry van Dyke 'list he that he " "Wakes her up by dashing cold wa 1 rT in her face," interlopated the Bach elor Girl bitterly. "What?" "Oh, begins to break his engage :."fLts." she explained with a non cinlant wave of her fan, "and to short ' a his calls." ' And to stay away altogether, when v rains or there is the least excuse," mi', in the Mere Man, appreciatively. "And doesn't even notice it, when l.o Hilts with another man or wears a new hat or does her hair a different "'a y.'' "And stops paying her compliments Mid sending her violets." And loses the drift of the conversa- 'n it to look at his "Or interrupts -.:!."

Hanging onto dying love isn't or a game of lawn tennis. Once has won the game and scored " "Kissed the girl or married her," corrected the Mere Man. "He loses interest in it," finished the Bachelor Girl. "The excitement is and he beins to look at his and yawn and listen for the clock. He either wants to stop playing altogether or to begin a new game with a new partner and new stakes. The only way to keep him interested in anything is never to let him win. "WTiat?" The Mere Man started." "Oh,. to keep putting him off," ex plained the Bachelor Girl, "and making him guess, and allowing him to fancy he's just on tlie verge of winning, when he isn't, and almost to catch you, but just not to; to promise him the kiss, but never to give it; to entice him to propose, but never answer him; to let him see that he attracts you, but never let him see how much; to let him taste the cream on the jug, but never get enough of it." "By Jove!" exclaimed the Mere Man, leaning forward suddenly and scruti nizing the Bachelor Girl's face in the flitting light of a lamppost. "So that's why you do it!" "Do what?" The Bachelor Girl's eyes opened wide in innocent astonish ment. "Keep me hanging on the ragged edge of a proposal and clinging to a thread of hope and thinking I'm 'It,' but not 'in it,' " returned the Mere Man accusingly. "That's why you keep me taetrinc after you. but always leave me just around the corner." , The Bachelor Girls sank back in dead silence and the darkest corner of the cab. "Tt must bft an awful strain, re marked the Mere Man after a pause, .."It's no trouble at all, Mr. Porter.' "An awful strain on the husband,' renpaterl the Mere Man, "never to know" "It is," agreed the Bachelor Girl promtly, "and it keeps him so busy Irvine to find out that he hasn't time to listen for the alarm clock. It's the onlv wav to make love's youns dream last, forever." "And love's vouns dream isn't worth it'." declared the Mere Man "It's like going to dinners that you can't eat, and keeping books that you don't read, and buying jewels that yov won't wear, and automobiles that you can't run; and houses that you can't live in. It's better to have loved and been sorry for it than never to have loved at all. The only way to get any real joy out of anything nice in this life is to go in for it heart and soul while it lasts and not to cry when it's over and done with whether it's love or a woman or a drive home in a cab with a pretty girl," and he leaned over suddenly and caught the Bachelor Girl's little gloved hand. "What are you doing?" she demand ed, struggling to free herself. "Going in for it heart and soul," re plied the Mere Man. "Listen!" cried the Bachelor Girl, as a neighboring clock boomed the midnight hour, "it's it's the alarm clock!" "Yes," agreed the Mere Man, freeing her gently. "But it was nice while it lasted."

Minneapolis, Minn., March 20. The Minnesota Democrats who have under taken the task of putting Governor John A. Johnson in the White House have reached that stage of their cam paign where they are able to present some figures. These figures, though they may not turn out to be facts, are none the less interesting. They pur port to show how the first battle may be won by defeating Bryan for the nomination. After that, the Johnson sponsors assume, their task of win ning the election will be comparative ly easy. They base their hope of winning the nomination upon the uninstructed del esates. and they believe that these can be swung into line for Johnson when it becomes apparent that Bryan cannot be named on the first ballot There will be 1,002 delegates in the Denver convention. It is figured that the 7S delegates from Xew York and the 6S delegates from Pennsylvania will be uninstructed. Ohio, with 4b delegates, is expected to favor Jud son Harmon as against Bryan. Dela ware, with six delegates, will be for Judge Gray, wrho may also have the delegates from Maryland. These states, with the 22 delegates from Minnesota for Johnson, would make a total of 226 delegates against Bryan. Under the two-thirds rule it would be necessary to round up only 109 more delegates to prevent the nomination of the Xebraska leader and the adop tion of his platform. The Johnson supporters figure that if a few Southern states delegates could be switched from Bryan, or if the Xorthwestern states would follow the lead of Minnesota, Bryan would un doubtedly be defeated lor the nomina tion and Johnson, as the next strong est man. would be named to head the ticket.
