The W omau'ri Memory.
"So lie is deail!" the spinster said.
And wept, 'twould seem, unduly.
'Ah: he was one of Nature's Knights
A gentleman, aye! truly.
This wicked world mightjfitly view
With feeling of self-pity
The passing of a man so true,
So tiolde and so witty.
It holds too few such men as he.
Who hail all nien as brothers.
And who are never slow to see
The sterling' worth of others.
He clung to Truth where'er he went--
Nor time nor place might matter,
Tor everything he said he meant
He never stopped to Hatter,
(iood judgment backed his spoken word,
And now consigned to earth,
'Twere fitting that the world accord
Due tribute to his worth."
The man she mourned was sixty-odd,
And there was little to him,
A plain old soul, in fact, "a clod"
His neighbors said who knew him.
Her neighbors wondered how she came
To know this Mr. Burton.
Said they: "He wasn't no old flame,
She had none such. That's certain!"
Ami that was true. Yet it appears
This man whose charms had caught her
Had met her once in by-gone years;
Just once and then forgot her,
But ah! she held his memory dear
And hailed his death with pity,
For lie. in that long-vanished year,
Had told her she was pretty!
Keep Ere rlastinglr At It.
Tli is is the motto of a very success
ful business firm and it is a good
enough motto in itself, though sub
ject to exceptions and modifications,
as are all short phrases. If one
would succeed in any undertaking
he must keep everlastingly at it, or
he must at least keep his one object
always in view. The author of the
phrase takes no recreation whatever;
night and day he pursues his object
with a considerable degree of suc
cess. It is not improbable that he
would have achieved an equal de
gree of success, and been the better
for it, if he bad limited his exertions
to ordinary business hours and had
refreshed Himself at other times by
change of occupation. But the main
thought in his favorite phrase may
be heartily commended to young
men. They ought to have a definite
purpose in life and stick to that pur
pose. They need not go to the ex
treme of carrying business cares
home with them and maintaining
only one line of thought and inter
est. Indeed, for most men an op
posite policy is desirable. They
ouyht to find rest and relief from'
business cares in some form of lite
rary or artistic amusement disso
ciated from business. They will
thus be refreshed and fitted to pur
sue their maiu object with renewed
vigor. But t,hey ought to have a
definite purpose in life and they
ought to stick to that purpose dur-
g working hours.
The aimless man is always weak.
A little discouragement or seme
more attractive prospect sways him
from his purpose and he wastes en
ergy in the pursuit of many objects
nstead of concentrating it upon one.
But consistency in following one
line of action with one purpose in
view presupposes a proper selection
at the outset, and this is really the
most difiicalt part of the problem
that besets young men. They may
make up their minds to be energetic,
persistent, faithful to-an ideal, and
yet be led by circumstances beyond
their control into the wrong calling
or profession. If that should be the
case they should not stick everlast
ingly at it, but should correct the
error as soon as possible and get the
right start. Thereafter they can
safely follow the rule laid down for
achieviug success, though even then
they may find that the word ever
lastingly means a little too much.
The trouble with all mottoes and
proverbs is that they cannot be
made forcible if they admit of ex
ceptions or qualifications or any
kind. The wise man accepts the
general truth they contain, but does
not regard it as necessarily the
whole truth.
'Keep everlastingly at it"
good motto to set before the ambi
tious youug man, and lie would not
go very tar wrong, pernaps, n ne
should -accept and follow it in its
literal signification, but he should
first make sure that his object is a
good object and that he is qualified
for his callintr and theu he should
consider whether he can best attain
his purpose by devoting his hours of
relaxation as well as his hours of bu
siness to one object or whether he
can make better progress by re
freshing his mind at times and de
voting only business hours to the
attainment of his ambition. Once
convinced that he has selected the
right aim in life, he should pursue it
unceasingly, making even his hours
of recreation contribute to the at
tainment of his purpose. With that
qualification and in that sense the
rule "Keep everlastingly at it" may
be accepted as a good business guide.
Almost any evil can be remedied
if you face it fearlessly and honestly
try to remove it.
The Mother'! Favorite.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the
mother's favorite. It is pleasant and
safe for children to take and always
cures. It is intended especially for
coughs, colds, croup and whooping
cough, and is the best medicine made for
these diseases. There is not the least
danger in giving it to children for it
contains no opium or other injurious
drug and may be given as confidently to
a babe as to an adult. For sale by M.

ARE ALL LOVERS LIARS!
A Wasliingtou Minister's Novel Theory of
Lore and Marriage.
Lovers everywhere are called to
the defense by the statement made
in a sermon last Sunday night by
the Rev. II. J. Stephen's, pastor of a
Methodist church in Washington.
It is that more deception is prac
ticed between lovers than by politi
cians. Dr. Stephens' flock was start
led, even shocked by his new pronun
ciamento. Strangely enough the doctor's text
wa3: "It is not good that man should
be alone."
Here is part of what the doctor
said in the, course of his novel and in
teresting discourse:
"My object in selecting this text"
said the minister, "is to make a
special talk on the morality of court
ship and marriage. Some people
think that this is not a proper sub
ject to be handled in the pulpits but
I think it is, because it is handled in
the word of God. As to courtship I
have only to say that young people
should be just as honest when court
ing as they are in other relations of
life. As a general thing this is not
true. There are many falsehoods
told and more deception practiced
among courting people than there is
even among politicians. No young
man has a moral right to pay any
special attention to a young woman
without acquainting her with the ob
ject of his visits, and no young wo
man should encourage the serious at
tention of a young man she would
not marry. If she does, she is not
what she should be. The affection
of the heart is too sacred to be trifl
ed with, and the professional flirt
should be made to feel that decent
society has absolute contempt for
her.
"No young man or woman who is
what he or she should be will try to
pay or accept the serious attention
of more than one persou at a single
time. Courting ought to be a relig
ious business, and if there was more
religion and common sense used in
courtship, there would be fewer un
happy marriages and divorce suits
and more happy homes. The insti
tution of marriage rests its founda
tion on the command of God and the
requirements of our human, uature.
This being the case, all men should
marry except those who may be
barred by some mental or lawful
Cause. That It IS not gOOd tor man !
to be alone is proved by the fact that
the maioritv of criminals iu our iails
i
are old bachelors or spinisters. Neith- i
er is it good for woman to be alone,
for the same command that places
the obligation on man places a cor
responding obligation upon the wo
man.
"A good wife is one of the greatest
safeguards a young mau can have. I
believe in people marrying young.
Early marriages are permanent mor
alities, while deferred marriages are
often tempestuous to sin, yet the
custom of late marriages appears to
be on the increase. Club life, to some
extent, has taken the place of home
life. The man who defers marrying
until he can begin life where his
father leaves off may commit the aw
ful mistake of his life by waiting too
long, because men differ from good
wine. Wine improves aud grows
better with age, the other does not.
Any woman who is not willing to
help a worthy young mau make a
start in life is not worthy of the love
or support of any man whom she
may marry. If a young man is
worthy of a wife, and a young wo
man loves him as she should, then it
will not be a question of a fiue house,
but a fine man. Did you ever notice
that the nsan wants the woman to be
better than himself? In nine cases
out of ten the woman is the best of
the two.
"No young woman should marry a
man whom she does not consider her
equal in social standing, education, j
and those other qualities which go to
make up a noble character. After
you get married each one of you
should be as careful to cultivate and
carry into the new state of life all
those little courtesies that made the
days of your courtship so bright and
lovely. Love is not like a fire; it
needs the constant adding of fuel to
keep it alive. A married man should
be as gentle with his wife forty years
after he has married her as he was
on the day of her wedding. Married
people should never stop courting.
The mistake some people make is
that they stop courting as soon as
they get married, when they ought
to just begin. The thoughtful hus
band will spend most of his evenings
at home with his wife and children.
How would it look for the husband
to sit up three or four nights a week
watching for the wife to come home
from the city? Has not a man's wife
as good a right to know where the
man spends his time as a man has to
know where his wife spends hers?
The fact is that God intended mar
riage to be a blessing to both par
ties. A man ought to be better for
having a good wife aud a woman for
havinsr arood husband. If marriage
is not a blessing, it is a misfortune.
Marriage is not a failure. When the
failure comes it is the people."
This discourse is worthy of study.
Mrs. Decker in Her Coffin Twice.
Binghamton, N. Y., Jan. 7. After
making all"" known tests physicians
have decided that Mrs. Benjamin
Decker, of West Bainbridge, is dead.
This precaution was made necessary
by a sensational occurrence 6ome
time ago in which Mrs. Decker was
aroused from a trance in her coffin.
She was taken ill and it was sup
posed died. The remains were pre
pared for burial, but no embalming
fluid was used. W'hile the body was
in the coffiu awaiting the funeral
service one of the family who was ar
ranging the house broke a vase and
a piece of the glass struck the sup
posed corpse in the forehead, caus
ing the blood to flow. This aroused
suspicion and physicians who were
summoned restored Mrs. Decker to
consciousness. When Mrs. Decker
was again taken ill aud died the for
mer life-like resemblance remained
and the body was kept four days.
Then the tests were made and it was
decided that transition had certainly
occurred this time and interment
followed.
Marriages of W hites and Blacks.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 8. The outcome
of the marriage of Chas. Johnson, a
white man, and Eleanor Moondy,
colored, is the discovery that while
there is a penalty attaching to the
person performing the ceremony, the
couple stand in the enjoyment of
their marital rights. It has been the
custom heretofore to punish the prin
cipals to such marriage as misde
meanants, but Judge Broyles finds
that this has been wrong. Says the
judge:
"There is no law for the punish
ment of the contracting parties in an
inter-marriage of the races, but the
law is plain in placing the responsi
bility on the person who performs
the ceremony."
Stranife Shadow ou the Door.
Greenup, III., Jan. 8. At Clear
Creek, ten miles north of this city,
the people are much excited over the
appearance of the shadow of a cross
ou the church front. A big revival
was in progress when the shadow
was discovered. For six mornings
large crowds gathered to view the
phenomenon. On the seventh day
it ceased to appear. As no trees or,
so far as may be seen, any other
substance stands between the church
aud the rising sun no one has been

mysterious reflex of light, but the

to happen.
Husband's Body Worth Due Dollar.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 8. Joseph
Speech, 23 years old, died yesterday
at the home of his stepfather, Tho
mas Neelis, of Anderson. Neelis re
fused to deliver the body to Speech's
wife, alleging that he was in debt to
him for services during his illness.
Thereupon Mrs. Speech instituted
proceedings for possession of the
body, swearing out a writ of reple
vin, and a constable went to the
house, took possession of the body
and had it transferred to an under
taker's. The complaint alleged that
Speech was the husband of the plain
tiff and that the body was of the
value of $1.
A Widow for the Eighth Time.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 8. George
Boyden, a farmer living near New
burg, committed suicide last night
by throwing himself in the cistern
near his residence. He was Ihe
eighth husband of Mrs. Emily Boy
den, and the third on the list to com
mit suicide. Two of the husbands
died of natural causes, three com
mitted suicide by drowning aud three
were divorced, two on their own
complaints and one on hers.
A peculiar coincidence of the sui
cides is that each of the husbands
drowned himself in the same cistern.
Young Ludy Dies in a Bail Room.
Johnstown, Pa., Jan. 8. During
Prof. John Dunmyer's danciDg class
la3t night thegayeties were suddenly
ended by a tragic death in the ball
room. Miss Mary Boderick, of Iron
street, one of the gayest dancers of
the evening, was suddenly noticed to
grow faint and reel. Medical aid
was called, but the young lady died
almost instantly in the hands of sev
eral of her friends. Heart disease,
superinduced by over-exertion, i3
given as the cause. Miss Boderick
was 23 years old and a prominent
young society leader.

President Illinois Womau's Alliance, in

National Capital Matters.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington', Jan. 8, 1901.
How the roughly Senator Hanna
dominates the Republican steering
committee of the Senate is shown
by the threats of a cloture rule for
the Senate, if there is any attempt
to fillibuster against the ship subsi
dy or the Army reorganization bill,
that have come from that committee
since Congress reconvened. Whether
those threats can be made effective
will depend largely upon the back
bone exhibited by Republican Sena
tors Mho are opposed to both bills.
It is expected that before the Army
bill is voted upon a Democratic sub
stitute providing for a continuance
of the present strength of the army
for two years from the first of next
July will be offered.
General expression of suspicion of
the motive in delaying action on the
Nicaragua Canal bill has brought
out a statement from prominent
republican Senators that action
will not be taken for at least a
month, because of the desire to show
England the courtesy of allowing it
that much time to act upon the
amended Hay-Paunce fote treaty.
According to the same authority,
the bill will be called up early in
February and passed. That, how
ever, doesn't seem to be the opinion
of the president of the Panama Canal
Company, who is in Washington, as
he has publicly said that be considers
his company still has a chance to
sell out to the United States, which
he pretends that it isn't at all anx
ious to do, as it can sell to England,
France and Germany at any time.
Whether this impudent Frenchman
is bluffing or really has a hold on
any considerable number of Sena
tors sufficiently strong to hold up
the Nicaragua canal bill will shortly
become apparent.
Not even a resolution of the Senate
can get at that interesting document
generally spoken of as the Lawshe
report, being a detailed statement of
crookedness found in the handling of
Cuban moneys by an expert account
ant. Instead of answering the Sen
ate resolution calling for this report,"
Secretary Root went to Mr. McKin
ley for assistance in burying the re
port so deep that the Senate cannot
dig it up for its contents to create a
sensation. In order to render this
assistance Mr. McKinlev will take
advantage of his authority to decline
to make public any document which
n his discretion would be best kept
secret. There is no way that the
Senate could force the President to
make public this document, even
were a majority disposed to try
But the fact that so much trouble
has been taken to suppress this re
port and that Mr. A. L. Lawshe, the
man who made it, has been given
big place in the Philippines, appar
ently to get him out of the way,
shows that the revelations made by
the report must be many times worse
than the publication of the Nealy
stealings in Cuba.
There is an old-time row among
Ohio republicans. Senator Foraker
has accused several members of his
nartv of fixing up a conspiracy to
put Representative Dick in Foraker's
seat at the close of his term, by
deal with the anti-saloon element
and the use of the Ohio Republican
Committee, of which Dick is chair
man. Foraker is said to have given
Dick a personal raking over that be
will never forget and to have sue
ceeded in getting Hanna to break
with Dick, who has been his confi
dential man ever since he started ou
to be a political boss. Whether Dick
deprived of Hanua's support, will
be strong enough to put up anything
like a winning fight against Foraker,
is doubtful, but the rumpus isn't go
ing to increase brotherly love among
Ohio republicans.
Gen. Miles has a few facts in his
possession about embalmed beef that
have never been made public, but
which may be included in the answer
that he will make in his own time to
ex-Secretary Alger's new attack on
him. Speaking of the matter, Gen
Miles said: '"Mr. Alger, by publish
ing a book and by the use of the pub
lie press in dealing with facts con
nected with the Spanish war, has
laid himself open to reply by any
army officer who is in any way affect
ed by the statements made. While
haven't yet fully decided on thecourse
I shall pursue in the matter, it is very
likely I shall at some future time
nut on record a few facts which it
will be impossible to whistle down
The administration has such a dread
of what Gen. Miles may say that
veiled threats of removing him from
the command of the army if he re
plies to Alger have been made. Mr,
McKinley, as all the world knows
would welcome an excuse to humil
ate Gen. Miles, and since the Senate
Military committee adopted the ideas
of Gen. Miles on army reorganiza
tion, in place of what was known as
the Root plan- prepared by Gen. Cor
bin Secretary Root would gladly
help.

Married in the Wrong County.
The Statesville Landmark told
its last issue of the marriage of Zeb
Vance White and Miss Sallie Patter
son, which took place in Stony Point
church, Wednesdi y afternoon. There
is an interesting story connected
with this marriage which is a good
joke on the contracting parties and
the officiating minister, Rev. M. A
Smith, of Statesville.
Mr. White, the groom, lives at
Sloan's, in Alexander county, while
his bride, Miss Patterson, lived in
Iredell. The marriage license was
bought in Iredell and according to
the statutes in such cases made and
provided, it was necessary to perform
the ceremony in Iredell. But the
ceremony was performed in Stony
Point cburcb, which is in Alexander
county, and nobody thought about
the difficulty in regard to the marri
age license until the ceremony was
over and the bridal party, Mr. Smith
and others, were on the train en
route to Statesville. Then the diiem
ma was discovered by somebody and
to make matters straight Mr. Smith
performed the ceremony a second
time this time at the Statesville de
pot and then Mr. and Mrs. White
went on their way to Richmond
