True Mends have no solitary Joy or

The blue of heaven Is larger than

If poverty is the mother of crime,
want of sense is the father.—De La
Bruyere.
Don’t* object t^at your duties are so
insignificant; they are to be reckoned
of Infinite significance, and alone im
portant to you. Were it but the more
perfect regulation jaf your apartments,
the sorting away of your clothes and
trinkets.the arranging of your papers—
“Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,
do it with al lyour might,” and all thy
worth and constancy. Much more,
if your duties are of evidently higher,
wider scope; if you have brothers, sis
ters, a father, a mother, weigh earn
estly what claim does lie upon you, in
behalf of each, and consider it as the
one thing needful, to pay them more
and more honestly and nobly what you
owe. What matter how miserable one
Is, if he can do that? That is the
sure and ready disconnection and ex
tinction of whatsoever miseries one
has in the world.-T. Carlyle.

THE DAY'S QUOTATIONS.
HISTORY ON WHICH
CHARLOTTE CHAPTER RESTS.
Anent the tea to be given by Char
lotte Chapter, D. A. R. tomorrow
afternoon at Mrs. H. L. Adams’ in
Dilworth. Mrs. Laura M. Brown, who
wields a graceful pen and whom the
chapter is very proud of having as
member, makes a delightful contri
bution to the cause today, in the fol
lowing:
Three punchers went loping oft into the
West,
Into the West as the sun went
• down;
Each thought of the plzen he loved the
best,
Awaiting him there in the board-
shack town.
For punchers will certainly hit the
cup
When out on the range they have been
penned up
Where the long-horned steers are
bawlin’.
Three ponies were tied to the hitchin’
rack
In front ' of the Lonely Dog sa
loon.
While three men fingered a greasy
pack,
And started a game soon after noon.
For punchers will gamble their hard-
earned dough
When they’ve been corraled for a
month or s-o
Where the long-horned steers are
bawlin’.
Three corpses were lugged to the bone-
yard there
In the early gray of the mornln’
light;
They weren’t playing their poker
fair,
“It is possibly not known general
ly that the Charlotte Chapter of
the D. A. R’b is called In honor of
the battle of Charlotte which was
fought In our streets. The British
army entered Charlotte on the 26th
of September, 1780, and the desper
ate bravery of the two young he
roes, Joseph Graham and George
Locke, in holding the enemy at bay
when attacked by such overwhelming
numbers, was almost unequalled by
any fight in America. Lord Corn
wallis’ surprise at this hot recep
tion made him term the town ‘a
hornet’s nest.’ Fifty-six men, all
volunteers, were organized Into a
company of cavalry. Graham was ap
pointed captain, though not 21 years
of age, and Locke, who sadly lost
his life, was chosen lieutenant. It
is the wish of the chapter to place
a monument. If not more than a
granite boulder, at the termination
of one of our principal streets to
commemorate this historic event. We
earnestly hope all the chapters and
many others will show their patriot
ism by attending the silver tea to
be given Thui*sday afternoon, 21st
September, at the beautiful home of
Mrs. H. L. Adams in Dilworth, and
contribute towards this noble object.
“Our town may truly be called the
home of liberty. Bancroft, the his
torian, testifies:
‘The first public voice in American
for dissolving all connection with
Great Britain came not from the
Puritans of New England, or the
Dutch of New York, or the planters
ofVirginia, but from the Scotch Irish,
Presbyterians of Mecklenburg coun
ty, North Carolina.’
“The North Carolina instrument of
freedom was written by a graduate
of the Presbyterian College of
Princeton. Nine of its twenty-seven
signers were Presbyterian elders,
and one a minister of the Gospel,
so who would not honor and _ re-
[ spect the deed of this earnest brave
’band of true blue men,’ who were
(evidently looking Heavenward for
! strength to carry out their bold re-
'solves ?”

To sat’.sfy the insatiable craving of
the novelty seeker for something new,
is a difficult task but the tra'le seems
to have accomplished it satisfactorily.
It is true that something new is often
only something old revived, but that
does not exclude it from the category
of novelties. As a matter of fact there
is quite a demand for old-fashioned
materials, colors and contours. There
i& for example the poke, and then
the new close-fitting turbans with
the monumental crowns
back to the forties, although in those
days headsizes were not as large as
they are now. Plain felts are again
in vogue and velours promise to be
near the top of the best sellers. It
is astonishing how many velour hats
one sees even under the hot August
sun and worn with the most summer
gowns. They are devoid of trimming,
having a silk cord only around the
base of the crown, and are not only
in white or black, but in vlyld colors,
euch as purple and blue.
The writer has also seen several vel
vet hat* of the students’ cap variety
being worn, to say nothing of taffeta
hats and the more seasonable summer
felts. One hears the same report of
Paris, so that It may be said that
winter hats in August are the latest
fad, only these hats are not trimmed
and* are suggestive of the outing hat
and sombrero In general effect.—The

sky, of this place, says: ‘Cardul did me
so much good! I' had dreadful back
ache and dizziness, and suffered from
pains in my eyes and in the back of
my head, as well as low down in my
body.
Sometimes, It seemed like I would
die with the pain. I was compelled to
see the doctor, but he did not help
me.
At last, I began to take Cardul, and
three bottles gave me great relief. My
health Is getting better every day.
I can recommend Cardul to suffering
women, for It helped me wonderfully
It is a wonderful medicine.’ ’
Other women, who suffer as Mrs
Schilowsky did, should leam from
her what to do, to be relieved. Take
Cardul.
For women^s pains, for female trou
bles, for nervousness, for weakness,
it is the best remedy you can use, the
mosj reliable you can obtain.
For over 50 years, Cardul has been
helping weak and miserable women
back to health and happiness. These
many years of success prove its merit
Pure, strictly vegetable, perfectly
harmless, Cardul Is sure to help and
will leave no disagreeable after-effects.
