TheTopicMn.VM "some way ought to bo provided for supplying the place of a judge who providentially hindered from betas; present at court.'" Providence is not always responsible for the failure of a judge to reach and hold court, nor for bin leaving frequently before bis work is finished, but there are occasions when, from one or another good cause, the presiding judge in unable to reach a county and hold court. In ucn emergencies we agree witn our con temporary that there should be Rome provision for supplying theappointment In some states members of the bar pros eat are -permitted to choose a temporary -judge, and thus public business is carried ori.

BUDeriiitendent of Public Instruction ilipbane in his report to tbe legislature advocates taxing the gross earnings of railroads 5 per cent , which would pay tbe schools $700,000 a year. He points ou.t that other states tax the gross in ccftnee of railroads. lie says: 'The 'gross earnings of the railroads in this State are more than $11,000,000. , . Suppose we had a law Jike Minnesota, . taxing the roads 8 per cent, on gross earnings? What a handsome sum of ..' pore than $300,000 to give instruction and Intelligence to the great army of poor boys and girls now groping in darkness, and who must, under preseut conditions of our educational facilities, grqw into manhood and wouiauhood burdened . with all the disadvantages of the igno rant. In addition to this, let us have the same tax on the gross earnings of telephone companies, telegraph com panies, txpre-e) companies, insurance compauiee.rndtbpn we willhaveachool fund from tbeee sources of about $400, OOjO. Think of having f 400,000 added to the school fund by the general assem bly of 1901." He concludes this part of J,the report as follows: "The railroads in ;i- North Carolina now net $3,000,000 an v anally over and above 4 per cent, on the f real value of their property. Theseroads J could stand a tax of 5 per cent, on their ; gross earnings, which would give us 1700.000 annually, and then leave them i4.800.000, to carry out of the State. v4.

He was a most worthy young man. with a fondness for discussing socio logical and moral questions, and once started on his bobby be could scarcely be beaded in any other direction. lie bad been quite devoted in bis attention to one young woman for as much as six months, but she bad been unable to bring blm to bis senses, though she was willing to confess that she bad tried repeatedly to do so. Of course she had done It in the delicate ways women have in those matters, bat what he needed was a club. Not a great while ago be was calling as usual, and as usual he was neglect ing sentiment for something that only made a girl tired. This time be was moralizing on the temptations of life and the proncness of people to yield without making the proper effort against them in whatever form they might appear. "However," he said In conclusion, displaying a commendable spirit of charity for the weak, "it Is a very diffi cult thing for any one to say 'No. " Here was an unexpected chance for her. "And conversely," she responded slowly so be could get the full force of it, "it should be very easy for one to say 'Yes. " He looked her straight In tbe eyes at last and a hush fell upon the scene. "Um-er-um," he hesitated. "Miss Kate, am I a chump?" "It Is very difficult for one to say 'No.'" she said with a pretty . little 6nille. and later she found It quite easy to sny "Yes." Washington Star. Ula Genial Reception. General Starr, a gallant old soldier. had nn Irrepressible dislike for young lieutenants fresh from West Point. In 1874 General Starr was in command at For Riley, nnd one day nn orderly came to bis quarters with the message that Lieutenant Morrison, just from West Iteint. was at the post ready to pay his respects and report for duty, In response to this message tbe old reneral was starting for his office, when bis wife, a motherly old soul, plucked him by the sleeve and said, "Now, general, promise me that you won't be rough with that young man. "Rough?" said the old man, smiling amiably upon his matrimonial corn ran Ion. "Why, I'll be peaches and cream unless the young dog riles me.' Reaching his office, the general was confronted with a dapper little fellow as spick and span as though he had JUBt come from tbe bands df his barber and tailor, while he had the half super cilious air that seems. Inseparable from the first staces of military education. Looking the young, lieutenant over for half a moment, tbe old general said f with great dignity: "How do you do, Mr. Morrison. I am pleased to see you." Then as a flush gradually mount ed oyer his weather beaten features he added: "I am always glad to see you young men from the Military academy. You you (here the general ended with a roar) you think yourself so banged smart!" Kansas City Journal. KaTV What She Waa About. Mother Miss Catchem has a lovely TOlce, and you know It. Why did you ask her to sing for Mr. Rlchfello? Daughter (after Mr. Rlchfello) See that mirror in front of tbe piano? 1 "Yes." 1 "Well. Mr. Rlchfello sits right in range where he can see her face.
