All gambling is vulgar. Call it what you will, assign for it whatever motive you please, it is an irrational, an igno ble struggle for money. Money got for nothing on the turn ing of a card or the revolution of a wheel bringeth good to no man, not even to him who wins it. And to him that losetb.7 Sometimes perdition, often, very often, that sinking sensa tion, that tired feeling even where the value loss is immaterial which follows futile effort and says as plain as whisper in the ear, "The world's against you." There is a postal cud picture which shows ua the facade of the Casino at Monte Carlo, with a drove of sheep, fat and woolly, going in, and the same drove, nude and skinny, coming out, and no friendly voice to cry : "May Heaven temper the wind to the shorn lamb!" uamming, nice everything else, is relative. The sin lies in the overplay, with its collateral vices, chief among them improvidence. The reigning sov ereign, who has only bis money to lose, and plenty of that, is not to be classed with the banker or the banker's confi dential clerk or secretary, who has everything at stake, character included, though each plays for the earne end that is, the diversion and excitement. Asked what was the greatest pleasure in life, Fox said, "Winning at cards; a nrl r Via navf T .-oi ti nr .f naria " )UU tUO UVAV 4hOaU VPM AU. There was a gambler for the love of it, and yet Fox p'.ayrd never for high stakes after he was forty, if he played at all. a Pensions The pension law for Confederate soldiers, sailors and widows is amended by increasing the annual appropriation from $200,000 to 275,000 The classes and amounts to each are now as fol lows: 1. To such as have received a wound that renders them totally incompetent to perform manual labor in the ordi nary vocations of lif3, C0. 2. To such as have lost a leg above the knee or an arm above the elbow, $45. 3. To such as have lost a foot or a leg below the knee, or a hand or arm below the elbow, or have a leg or arm utterly useless, $35. 4. To such as have lost an eye and the widows and all other soldiers who are cow three-fourths disabled from any cause, $20. Moreover, the county boards of pen sions are empowered to place upon the pension roll any Confederate veteran or widow disqualified by the $500 property clause, who may appear to be unable to earn a living from property valued as much as $500 or more. Dead Easy. Diner How comes this dead fly in my soup? Waiter In fact, sir, I have nc positive idea how the poor thing came by its death. Perhaps it had not taken any food for a long time, dashed upon the soup, ate too much of it, and con tracted an inflammation of the stomach that brought on death. The fly must have had a weak constitution, for when I served lip the soup it was dancing merrily on the surface. Perhaps and the idea presents itself only at this moment it endeavored to an alii w too large a piece of vegetate; this, remain ing fast in the throat, caused a choking in the windpipe. These are the only reasons I can give for the death of that insect. Got OI Cheap.

MOCTHER LAND VALUES. nrtLFlCllIF A a f- - - - Two acta were passed by the last Legislature relative to contracts between landlord and tenant for land and crops. One makes it a misdemeanor for any tenant or-cropper who procures ad vances from his landlord to abandon the land rented by him without good cause and before paying for such ad vances; for any landlord who may contract with a tenant to furnish ad vances so he can make a crop to refuse to furnish the advances. And any person who employs a tenant who to his knowledge has violated this act shall be liable to the landlord for the amount of the advances made and also be guilty of a misdemeanor. When ever any tenant shall contract for the rental of land for the current year and fail to perform the terms of his con tract he shall forfeit his right of posses sion and the landlord may recover pos session. This law applies to the following counties: Wayne, Lenoir, Greene, Johnston, Jones, Onslow, Craven, Cleve land, Sampson, Pitt, Duplin, Gates, Cumberland, Perquimans, Chowan, Robeson, Bladen, Nash, Harnett, Edge combe, Hertford, Wilson, Rockingham, Pender, Currituck, Gaston, Northamp ton, Beaufort, Chatham, Tyrrell, Meck lenburg, Guilford, Halifax, Cm well, Camden, Cabarrus, Columbus, Martin and Montgomery. The other act is practically the same except that in addition it makes it un lawful for anyone to entice or procure a tenant or cropper to abandon or fail to cultivate the land, or after receiving notice to harbor on his own premises or on the premises of another, any such tenant. This applies to the coun ties of Wake, Hyde, Anson, Hertford, Sampson, Franklin and Union. In order to aid farmers desiring to hold their cotton for higher prices an act was passed amending the act of 1901, chapter 678, by reducing the bond required of warehousemen from $25,000 to $10,000 and by providing also that if any warehouse company has a capital stock of not lss than $5,000, it shall not be required to give the bond. The act also makes all ware house receipts issued by warehousemen complying with the law valid arid bind ing in the hands of all bona fide holders for value, without registration. This of course means that farmers can ob tain money on their warehouse receipts as if they were checks, or use them in trading as money. Hooater Whipped Coon. Henry County, Ky., Local. During the last general campaign for county offices several of the Democratic candidates in their rounds stopped over night with Richard Roberts, near Ceme tery Hill. Between 12 and 1 o'clock at night noisy commotion was heard among the chickens. Going out to investigate, Mr. Roberts found a brave old rooster in mortal combat with a coon. There were on the ground among the bushes, and the fight was terrific. Such a spectacle was thought a worthy entertainment for the guests, and they were accordingly awakened and called out of their beds to witness the battle by moonlight. The biped finally got the better of his four-footed antagonist, The latter was a pet coon that belonged in the family. The incident is no doubt unprecedented. married Hie Mother-ln-Law. Clay County Courier. A marriage took place at Murphy not long since, that is rather out of ordinary proceedings in the matri monial Mne, when Mr. Mark Strgud, of Towns County, Georgia, went to the hymeneal altar with his mother-in-law. and "they twain were made one." Mr. Stroud married the daugh ter a few years ago, and two children were born to them, when the wife died; in the meantim his wife's mother became widowed by the death of her husband. After a reasonable time had elapsed the mother-in-law was wooed and won by her erst while son in-law, and the tnarnage took place as above stated, wen, wnat nexti For an 1 m paired Appetite.

Reno, Nev., Dispatch. Willard Hatch, of Denver, on his way to the Miners' Club, in Gold fields, last nifht, stopped at Joseph Brearly's re sort, on Main street. Hatch was wearing evening dress, the first ever seen in Goldfielda. When the assembled miners saw bim they let out a yell, surrounded him and made him a prisoner. In spite of his protests he was taken to a rear room and mounted upon a dry-goods box. Then a "SDielor ' took up a station at ine door, announcing that every one could view the exhibit at fifty cents each For thirty minutes a stream of people paid their half dollars to look at Hatch in his swallow-tail. To show they were good fellows the miners then escorted Hatch to his club and spent the proceeds of the exhibition for wine. Henry Ernest, a lawyer, of New York, was recently twitted by Goldfields miners because be wore a derby bat, One Divorce Case Heard Every Ten minute. New York World. The mill of New York's divorce court ground out a new record yesterday, when aixty-two married couples, reprc sen ting 124 individuals, with their wit nesses, appeared in Justice Traux's part of the Supreme Court. In three hours and forty-seven minutes the Justice dis posed of twenty-one cases, the average time consumed in the trial of each case being only ten minutes and forty-eight and four sevenths seconds. The greatest amount of time occupied by any one cas3 waa thirty minutes, while one suit was disposed of in one minute. Thir teen of the married couples anxioua for freedom had no children, while the total number of children in the other eight families was only eleven. Twelve women and nine men sought matrimo nial freedom. Raising a Girl the Wrosf Way. Atchison Globe.

She eate dinner which her mother has prepared, wears clothes her mother baa made, spends the afternoon reading story books or gadding with her fner.de, eats supper her mother bas prepared, and spends the evening with her girl friends. She has done nothing wicked all day, and her mother is aatiefkd that she is bringing her up right.

"I use it in I my family," writes O. J. Welch, of Te- konsha, Mich., "and find it perfect.' Simply great for cuts and burns. Only I Southern Farm Magaxle. Southern people should awaken to the fact that the fertile bottom lands, cot ton farma and timber lands' are rapidly going into tne bands of outside cap italists and farmers, who have found agricultural pursuits so much more profitable in the South than in the North when conducted on an econom ical and thorough system of diversified farming, that many thouaanda of their friends farmers and capitalists are following them. They can buy these fertile and productive landa, equipped for farming, at $40 per acre, against $125 per acre for Illinois farms, which, farmed under their splendid economical system, only bring a rental of $5 per acre. The prices of these Illinois farms are not too high. The renters there are making money and buying farms from the accruing profits. The value of Louisiana lands has been discovered by these thrifty Northern farmers, and values will soon equalize, and farms will sell at $100 to $150 per acre. Then it will be hard for the man with small means to acquire a large plantation After 20 years' experience, developing and promoting in the North, West and South, I feel confident that in 20 years more the bottom landa of the South will average more than $100 per acre.
