Just keep on working day and night.
Go ahead!

And (iod will guide you through .he rest,
If you will do your level best.
Go ahead !

And you shall hear your neighbors say;
"That fellow there has won tlie day."

In an act or loving song.

The Man Who is in Love.
Never go down on your knqes to
declare your love; you will spoil trou
sers and feel very uncomfortable.
Rather give the lady an opportunity
of denying that you -were on your
knees before her, for the simple rea
son that she was sitting on them.
Never place your hand near your
lady's waistband or around her neck.
Place it about the middle of her
back, there are no pins there.
If she asks you to fasten her brace
let never fail to apply a kiss on her
arm. Ninety-nine times out of a hun
dred that is what she wants, ind why
she does not secure her bracelet with
a little chain.
Never call on your lady love while
you have a cold in your head. If you
begin your declaration you will never
be able to resume it after a fit of
sneezing.
A cold in the head inspires pity
neither in the heart of man nor in
that of woman, and sneezing is fatal
if the lady posesses the slightest
particle of humor. Remember that
with a cold in your head you will
have to say to her: "I lob you,
my darling. Oh, I hab such a cold
id be dose!" No romantic love, dear
fellow could survive that.
I know a mac who once eloped
with a married woman. They were
deeply in love with each other. When
they arrived at their destination they
went to the hotel where they had en
gaged rooms. It was a bitterly cold
da', and they had forgotten to give
orders for fires. The rooms were dull
and chilly. They fell in each other's
arms. "At last, my darling," he
exclaimed, "at last, my own beloved
one!" He could say no more.
He was seized with a fit of violent
sneezing. The misled lady came at
once to her senses. In no time the
trunks were sent back to the station,
and that same evening she had re
turned safe and sound under the con
jugal roof. The "saving grace" of
humor has done still more for wo
men than for men, who owe so much
to it.
The woman who has a keen sense
of humor is a terrible one to make
love to. The romantic one will
find charms in all your shortcomings,
but the other is inexorable. She is
constantly on the,.lookout for some
thing to laugh at, nothing will escape
her. And you know that, if you
laugh, love-making is out of the ques
tion. I know a woman who was radically
cured of her ardent love for a man
because he had, near the tip of his
nose, a tiny little wart, which turn
ed alternately white and red while
he got passionately engaged in tell
ing her the intensity and sincerity of
his love.
If you are bald, never make love to
woman taller than 3rou. Looked at
from below you are all right. Never
let your lady love see you without a
collar on, not even the very wife of
your bosom. Never let her see you
asleep. Maybe you sleep with your
mouth open. If you are married let
your wife sleep first. When you are
quite sure she is off, let yourself go
and be careful to wake up first in the
morning.
A man's head without a collar is
like a bouquet without a holder.
Never tell your lady love that you
are very steady in your affections,
and that every time you love a wo
man it is forever. If you think she
will enjoy the joke you overrate her
sense of humor."
If your wife or sweetheart is in
love with you to such a degree that
she tells you she will never survive
you if you happened to die, reassure
her and tell her that there is a way
out of the difficulty her setting out
fi rst.
Don't let your wife see you shave.
Your idiotic, cowed look, your gap
ing mouth and. grimaces are as many
infallible remedies for love.
. Never indulge in any little objec
tionable trick before the woman you
love.
Great affections should never be
trifled with. MaxO'Rell.
A tiood Cough Medicine for Children.
"I have no hesitancy in recommend
ing Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
says F. P. Moran. a well known and
popular baker, of Petersburg, Va. "We
nave given it to our children when
troubled with bad coughs, also whoop
ing cough, and it has always given per
fect satisfaction. It was recommended
tome by a druggist as the best cough
medicine for children as it contained no
opium or other harmful drug." Sold by

SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN WOMEN.
Arp Says the Latter Will Not Compare
Favorably With the Former.
I had a pleasant call to Florida,
and have just returned. The rail
roads make it so easy for you now
that even a veteran can travel if he
has the money. I left home one
morning after breakfast, and was in
Jacksonville that night to supper
with my boy and his family, 415
miles in thirteen hours, and traveled
over parts of four roads. It was a
daylight trip and I had opportunity
to notice the changes that latitude
makes in vegetation. This new
route to Florida is a star line from
Atlanta and the west. It includes
the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Lonis, the Western and Atlantic,
the Central to Macon, the Georgia
and Florida Southern to Valdosta
and the Atlantic, Valdosta and Wes
tern to Jacksonville, the prettiest,
cleanest and best regulated city in
the south. All of them first-class
roads, with parlor cars and dining
cars and sleepers that run all the
way through. They don't even tar
ry at Jacksonville, but keep on and
on to the jumping off place, if you
wish to go there. That new road
between Jacksonville and Valdosta
has made this speed and comfort
possible, for it has done away with
the elbows at Tifton and Waycross.
The great Plant system has no el
bows after you get on it, but it is a
long ways from Atlanta and the
west. The new road was just what
our people wanted. H is first-class
in all respects, and makes its 110
miles in less than three hours. I
like these straight Florida railroads;
they don't reel you about like our
roads among the mountains, and
they just glide along like a snake in
the grass. These mountain roads
swing an old man around the curves
and strain his groin and loins and
diaphragm and epigram and make
him sore and stiff for two or three
days after he gets home.
I can hardly navigate now, and
yet my wife wants me to plant some
lettuce and beans and okra and work
among the roses right away. Be
sides all this, the cook has quit, an3
I have got to get up by sunrise and
fire up the stove and put on the cof
fee and hominy and then call her to
get up and cook the rest of the
breakfast. I used to make the bis
cuits, but I have struck on that; I
don't believe that a man's rough old
horny hands were intended to mix
up flour and milk and lard in bis
cuit dough. My old friends Judge
Hillyer and Judge Underwood were
once, walking along a side street in
New York and as they passed a ba
kery they saw the bakers through
the blinds, and they were treading
dough in the long troughs with their
feet. Judge Hillyer said : "Do you
reckon their feet are clean?" "Well,
yes," said Underwood, "I reckon
they are by this time; they have been
treading a good while. " But I don't
care a cent about the cook quitting,
I believe in self-maintenance I be
lieve that every household should be
raised to do their own work when it
is necessary and I am proud to say
that my wife and my children have
never begged a cook to stay against
her will. Honors are easy; let her
go and rest if she wants to. The
fact is, it suits me pretty well, for
the cooking is better and the things
are cleaner and it saves money we
get along on less victuals and can
dine out with our children every day
or two. We can use baker's bread
and make toast and bake Irish pota
toes and fry eggs and get along fine
without a cook.
But I was talking about Florida
Florida that Ponce de 'Leon found
fifty years before the Pilgrims found
Plymouth or John Smith found
Jamestown. Fair Florida the El
dorado of this continent. It has
been hidden for all these years, but
has been found. I never saw the like
bf northern tourists, the hotels at
Jacksonville are overrun, it takes
several columns in their papers to
give their names. These tourists are
all rich, and spend their money free
.ly. The men are fairly good-looking,
but the women look tired and pre
maturely old. Northern women will
not compare with southern women
for beauty and refinement of man
ners. I have known this for fifty
years. They have to work too hard ;
poor things, I am sorry for them.
They have got nothing but money. I
walked round the St. James and
Windsor and never saw, a beautiful
woman; they are masculine and
coarse, and not an angel among
them. New England -or New York
jor any of those coldicy states won't
produce fairies-or sylphs or angelic
creatures.
You have to come as far south as
Philadelphia and. Baltimore to find a
beautiful woman, and they are scarce
even there. You don't find them in
plenty until you get do wb to Charles
ton and Savannah. Down here where
I live they are nearly all good-looking
and graceful and, as David Ha
rum said, are Coupled well and stand
up square on their pasture joints and
step like a deer. This is their good
fortune, not only from heredity and
climate, but because oifr mea are
chivalric to their wives and daugh
ters and do not work them so hard
A recent number of a New York pa
per say9 our long-haired philanthro
pists are fearfully in earnest about
the southern negroes, but you never
heard of them regulating the toil of
a woman clerk in. a retail store. She
rises at 5 o'clock every morning,
cooks her own" breakfast and spends
a nickel for car fare; she attends to
all receipts and shipments, she keeps
the books and balances the cash; she
is not allowed one second for lunche
on, and never eats in the middle f
the day. She does not go home till
after 7 and on Saturday nights till
after 12 o'clock. Her salary is $7 a
week. She is bright and interesting,
and of good family. For her $7 a
week she labors never less than nine
ty and often one hundred hours, and
this is about 8 cents an hour. Thpr
is no hope for this girl except in mat
rimony, and the right man will not
find her. And yet these northern
philanthropists will skip over them
all and, like Ogden & Co., make a
tour down south to see how the ne
gro is getting on the best content
ed race upon the earth.
From Jacksonville I dropped down
to High Spriugs, where the good
ladies of the New Century Club were
calling me. I had a delightful time
an ovation of young maids and ma
trons and old veterans whose gray
hairs and care-worn faces reminded
me of the passing years and the pass
ing of the old soldiers of the con
federacy. These veterans will soon
all be gone, for
"Time cuts down all.
Roth great and small.
Except a pensioned soldier;
They do not die,
Rut multiply
As fast as they grow older."
We have but 70,000 left now, all
told; but they have nearly a million
up north on the pension rolls.
High Springs is on a boom of im
provement. The plant system has
its largest hospital there, and its
most extensive shops except those in
Savannah. Everybody is busy and
everybody seems contented and
happy. I was the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Gracy, whose beautiful home
and lovely little children made me
feel at home. Wherever I find little
children I have no fear, and I do as I
please, and eat with my knife and
drink coffee out of my saucer if I
want to. The good-looking mayor
was selected to introduce me to the
audience, but not being used to such
performances, forgot his little speech,
and began with "Now I lay me down
to sleep," and so they had to get the
preacher to take his place. I shall
not soon forget the kindness of those
good people of High Springs, and
especially the cordial greeting I re
ceived from the twenty-one ladies of
the New Century Club. The scrip
tures tell us that the time will come
when seven women shall lay hold of
one man, but I was captured by three
times seven and maintained myself
well considering my antiquity.

A Sweet .Minded Woman.
So great is the influence of a sweet-
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. It is to
her that friends come in seasons of
sorrow and sickness for help and
comfort; one soothing touch of her
kindly hands works wonders in the
feverish child: a few words from her
lips in the ear oT a sorrow stricken
sister do much to raise the load of
grief that is bowing its victim down
to the dust in anguish. The husband
comes home worn out with the pres
sure of business and feeling irritable
with the world in general, but when
he enters the cozy sitting room and
sees the blaze of fire and meets his
wife's smiling face, he succumbs in a
moment to the soothing influences
which act as the balm of Gilead to
his wounded spirits that are wearied
with the stern realities of life. The
rough" school boy flys into a rage
from the taunts of companions to
find solace in his mother's smile; the
little one, full of grief with her large
trouble finds a haven of rest on its
mother's breast; and so one might
go on with instance after instance of
the influence that a sweet-minded
woman has in the social life with
which she is connected. Beauty is
an insignificant power when com
pared with hers.
Two Reflections of a Bachelor.
A woman is always disappointed
unless she getsraore attention from
her husband than she expected.
The woman that insists on clean
ing up her husband's writing desk
would probably go home toher moth

kitchen. -

applications of Pain Balm, rubbing the
parts afflicted and realizing instant ben
efit and entire relief in a A ery short
time. Second, in rheumatism in thigh
joint, almost prostrating 'him with se
vere pain, which was relieved by two
applications, rubbing with the liuiment
on retiring at night, and getting up free
from pain. For sale by M. E. Robinson

Murdered Her Six Children.
Cold Brook, Mass., March 21.
Mrs. Lizzie Naramore, while in a fit
of insanity this afternoon, killed her
six children at her home, a farm
house, half a mile from this village,
and then tried to take her own life.
The children ranged from 10 years
to a babe of 10 months, and their
lives were taken by the mother with
an axe and a club. She laid the blood
drenched bodies on the beds, two on
one bed and the other four on a bed
in another room and then attempted
to take her own life by cutting her
throat with a razor. When discov
ered she was in bed on which the
bodies of the four children were ly
ing. Although she cut a deep gash
in her throat and suffered the loss of
much blood, it is believed she ma'
recover.
Frank Naramore, the husband and
father, left his home at the usual
hour to-day to go to his work at a
saw mill and at that time his wife
did not attract his attention by act
ing strangely. It is 'supposed the
crime was committed shortly after
noon, the discovery' being made by
George Thrasher, an employe of a
grocery store, who visited the Nara
more house about 2:43 o'clock for the
purpose of delivering groceries that
had previously been ordered by Mrs.
Naramore. He was unable to get in
the house by the door and he looked
in a window and noticed blood onihe
floor, while Mrs. Naramore was lying
on a bed. He was surprised, also, in
the absence of the children whom he
was accustomed to see playing in or
about the house. He returned to this
village and told of what he had seen.
A party was made up and a hasty
visit was made to the Naramore
house, and the mutilated bodies of
six children in two beds were found.
Mrs. Naramore was alive, but was
very weak from loss of blood. Mrs.
Naramore was removed to the village
hotel.
During the evening a number of
neighbors of the family saw and talk
ed with Mrs. Naramore and to them
she told how she killed her six chil
dren. At the time the party of vil
lagers found Mrs. Naramore she was
asked how she did the deed, and she
said that she took the lives in four
different rooms, and as fast as she
killed one child the body was placed
in a bed. The children were three boys
and three girls Ethel, 10" years of
age, the oldest, while the ages of
Walter, Charles, Chester, Bessie and
Lena ranged from 8 years to 10
months, Lena being the baby.
Mrs. Naramore told her most inti
mate friends to-night that she first
killed Ethel, and then followed with
the five others, each time taking the
next oldest. Five were killed by be
ing struck on the head with the back
of an axe, while little Lena was killed
with a club. She says she fully ex
pected the gash in her throat would
cause her death and .that when her
husband returned at night he would
find all of the bodies in the two beds.
She appeared rational this evening
and displaj-ed signs of sorrow for the
deed she 'had committed, although
she is unable to give any reason for
killing the children.
When Mr. Naramore reached the
house he was prostrated with grief
by the loss of his family. Each of
the children had evidently received
several blows as their heads were ter
ribly bruised and blood was scattered
in all parts of the room. Mrs. Nara
more had evidently made prepara
tions for the deed, as the doors were
all locked and barred with sticks of
wood.
At about 9 o'clock to-night Mrs.
Naramore experienced a change for
the worse and it is believed she will
not live through the night- Her hus
band has been in the hotel, but he
has not made any request to see her.
A Father's Triple Murder.
Clinton, Me., March 21. Jacob
Dearborn Marr, a farmer living eight,
miles from this village, killed his
three children, Alice M., aged 13;
Elwin, aged 9, and Helen, aged 7,
with an axe, shortly after the family
had risen from the dinner table
to day. .

A Woman, Aped 72, Shoots Squirrels.
Near Lewisville, Forsyth count',
there lives Mrs. Polly Inscore, aged
72 years. She is a woman exception
ally well preserved fop her years and
is not only able to do a- hard day's
work, but is something of a hunter,
as well. The other day she went
hunting and was successful in shoot
ing two squirrels. This reads like
jiioneer days when women took an
active part in all the hardships and
privations of that day and time. It
is said that we are growing wiser
and weaker as a people. With wo
men, especially, this seems to be the
case. Very few of the present gen
eration are able to do the physical
work which their mothers did. This
applies especially to town life, and
we suppose, to a great extent in the
country. What is needed is more
physical development among girls
and young women.
