War He l'ut It Two friends were talking over the good fortune of a mutual acquaint ance who had succeeded in gaining the hand of a rich girl, relates The New York Sun "I didn't think Kdward had it in him." said one friend. "It must have taken a lot or diplomacy on his part to win out in that venture." "Oh. 1 don't know," said the other. "As a matter of fact, I happen to know that he told her the simple truth." "You don't say so!" "Yes. he told her he couldn't liw without her." He Knew Hoys The i-'ory is told in The Indianap-li--. News that there was a bad ac cident In the street of a big city.

"Why, every real boy carries string in his pocket," said the surgeon. 1'rodigal lie-turned One morning the "lilack Marie" arrived at the police court to take to jail the prisoners who had been ar rested the previous night. As they tiled into the van the policemen were much amused to hear an old woman, who was the last of the string, shout out to a young prisoner in front-- "Now, then, come out of that; you've pot my corner!" Needless to say, tJio old lady oh iued her accustomed seat.

Messrs. r.oiiouer ;.!:d Nov us Homo et a Is vs The tudeiil, defeased, late of Inion cou.iiy. suie hell has spread hi rselt aud fvery ihir.g teems lo be ready. but. Cu re are some things. l;ro. iior rower, that I want to say before 1 go to reap my eternal reward as a liar. Mr. Uorrower, you said in your late article for me to step aside and let a (rutin ul man come torward with tin good.-., us 1 was a liar. I will not try to prevaricate around that in th Icasl. for who can wholly deny that charge? Once in the time of the re- r.oiwu d philosophy of the Crecians it happened ill Athens. 1 think, that one day a very old man was seen poin along the t reels in open day-ligln cairynig a lighted lantern. A man ou approaching him inquired what In was carrying a latein 111 for in day light. The eld peiulenun's answer was this: "I am looking lor a strictly honest and truthful man." Did he liml l hat honored person? No, lu did not. and history does not give any account of it if he ever found the man thai he was looking for. I, too. am looking for smli a person and Uorrower, here you come butting in and claim to be the man. I have not found him yet. A very emphatic no. Porrower, 1 do not use tobacco in any shape or form. Yet.' I am not prejudiced against Its use. and positively I don't think that chewing it or smoking a cigar, either an aristocratic or tin pauper kind, "three for live," is a sin in the sight of Cod. if you wili prove to me that they will destroy the moral decency of the soul and body and cause men. women and boys and girls to become prodigals and wander over the earth and tempt tin others w ith your so-called sins sudue tive snare, and make demons of hell ot them, then. 1 will see the point that you call the sin of it. People enjoy this and it is only a luxury to those that have the taste for tobacco. Put as for myself. 1 have never had the taste for the weed and I never will as It never ap pealed to my eye as a nice thing to he used ill society. It looks bad, I will admit, to see a man in company with his chin all covered with to bacco juice and it streaming out ol the corners of his mouth, but that I think is left entirely with society. It is no doubt what we call a social evil but the point is, is it an evil in the sight of Cod? Well, so much for tobacco. Now as for charging interest on money loaned: it is a very ticklisn thing but Novus Homo and Porrower cr, in all yciir knowledge of the scriptures and with your superior ad vantage on me. in regard lo the ma turity of your years and experiments, you have evidently forgotten the bible. 1 do have scripture for charg ing interest so If you w ill listen I w ill tell it to you and also tell you where to Mini it so you need not Just take my word for it altogether. The kingdom of Heaven is like a traveling man going into a far coun try and who called his servants to him and delivered unto them his goods. To one he gave five talents (of silver) and to another two and to another man Just one. When their lord was gone the man that was given the live talents went and put his lord's money In the ex changes and traded until he had gained another live talents which we call usury or interest. Likewise the man with the two talents went and trailed and gained for his lord' two more talents which made him four. Put unlike these two men the one (hat had only received one taleiil went ami buried his lord s money and gained nothing. So alter a lapse oi lime the lord of tin so servants came and had a settlement with each.! The man that had been given live talents came forward and brought ten talents instead of the live that wire given him. And his lord said, "w ell done thou good and fait hi ul servant; thou hast been faithful over i few things I will make thee ruler over many things, enter thou into the Joy of thy lord." So he that had re ceived two talents came up and brought four talents having doubled his capital. His lord said the same to hini as the one above. Next and last came the one that had received one talent, and he said, "Lord I knew thee that thou art a hard man reap ing where thou hast not sown and gathering where thou hast not strewed, and I was afraid and went and hid thy talent in the earth, lo there thou hast that is thine." His lord answered and Bald, "thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not and gathered where I have not strewed. You ought to have put my money In the exchanges and then at my coming I should have received my own with usury (or interest.) Take, therefore, the talent away from hint and give it to the one that has ten talents. For to every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have in abund ance; but from him that hath not it shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant Into outer darkness; there shall be weaplng and gnashing of teeth." Y'ou read the 25th chapter of St. Matthew but surely you know this but have forgotten It. As you said, Novus Homo, in your article people have to make expenses and without charging usury how In the world will they live, less make any clear money? In this parable of the talents you can see mat usury Is not condemned but It Is a natural necessity. The whole business of the world Is done on the credit and usury basis. Look what the poor man who had only one talent and buried it and did not try to gain any more by trad ing and lending the money out on Interest. Now, Mr. Porrower, this is what you would do Is It? Or would you loan to your friends and neighbors and not charge any in terest. If you would do this I must admit that yau are a pretty good fel low, out Daragoricaliy speaking, rrom a laudnum standpoint, I have some awful doubts. Novus Homo, using the expression of Oliver Cromwell as he stood and rased on the beheaded body of Charles Stuart, King of England, and emphatically sighed. "Oh cruel neces sity." I somewhat agree with yon on that Novus. The times demand usury and interest lo make expenses leaving oul your own personal needs. Mr. Borrotr, If there is no scrip ture for my phase of the question, will you not agree that Ihe limc have ihanged pnd the business me thods have r hanged from the old to the new since ihe scriptures were written? Cod thought he gave us enough of intellectual cranium tilling called brains to know what to do as Ihe times changed in this specilic in stance, any how. The old business methods will not work good now in the everyday business as they used to do. The old farm ideas are gone and more scientific methods adopted. Why all ibis change? Pocause we are hunling a belter usury nut hods, that will pay expenses if noiUing more. People are lending money at J six per cent and they are merely muk-j jug epenes and come oul even at! the present way. Put for these moti-! ey lenders not to charge interest, I then Porrowi r would get the interest i backward and the fellow who did th"' loaning stunt would come out in debt. Sure Mr. Porrower. a man must live. by the sweat of his brow, but the bible does not say to sweat it out plowing, digging, and hoeing in the lichls in Ihe hot sunshine, does it? A banker lives up to your passage of scripture, for I am sure some of them have to sweat to get some notes col lected that are due them. It costs more to collect some of the notes than the interest is worth. No. Novus Homo. I will not fav I don't believe the bible, for still would be the keys of this typewriter and my brain cease to think if 1 thought that I was denying any part of Ihe scrip tures in our argument. Y'ou gentle men may sink my ship bill shoot away at it for I will be right there till the last spire can be seen. "Don't give up the ship." You are mistaken. Porrower, about me being an old time school house debator for I am not quite so old. 1 am not yet old enough to leave Ihe parental roof, though I have been some rousing good hot debates. I Plow your horn again, Porrower.1 for 1 am ready. And. Mr. Homo, I like your style of argueing with a fel low, so if you are acting as Mr. Ror rower's attorney or second, I will say. come in my apartment at your most convenient time and 1 will refer you to my second and we will arrange' matters very satisfactory. Rut sup- pose we arrange the matter for Stout , and run everything out tip to In-' ilian Trail to get Sir John to shine their shoes, and while this is taking place either Porrower or myself will fall and be silenced forever. Put.i gosh, Porrower, ' what if we both would fall? It would make a dcvllsh had record for Stout in one dav wouldn't it. THE STl'DKNT.

The famous mine lire, which has been raging now for more than tin years, and which started at Summit Hill, near Ihe spot where Phillip discovered anthracite coal In 1791. says a I.ansford, Pa., dispatch of February 1. has burned through the Immense concrete wall which the Lehigh Coa'. & Navigation Company sank in front of it. deep down Into the earth several years ago, a a -ost of more than a million dollars, t is now threatening the mammotl vein In the Panther Creek Valley, thr largest and richest vein of anthraclt' in the world.

"a feet thick of solid concrete, anf "xperts believed that the sublerran ean lire would never eat through it hut that it would prevent it fror spreading any further and eventual ly extinguish it. The fact that the flames have eaten through this huge barrier has caused grave fears among the l.ehign Coal Ac Navigation of ficials, who are now putting forth every possible effort to prevent the fire from getting into the vast beds of anthracite in the vicinity. A large force of men are at Work drilling holes deep into the earth, and into those openings water and slush is being poured directly o toe subterranean lire in the hope of pre venting a rapid spread, if possible to extinguish it. Already this fire has destroyed millions of dollars, while the sixty years fight to extinguish it has cost enormous sums. TH6 Henderson Roller Mills ! MONROE, N. C.
