But really, brethren, is not Senator Pollock about right in proposing to . tax them? We are aware that you get next to a man when you reflect upon his dogs. But there is hardly a more worthless . piece of property than a worthless dog. A man should be willing to pay tax on a valuable dog or one that has suo : ceeded In enlisting his affections; and lie could turn over the worthless ones ' to the dog catcher. Then the public school fund would "be the beneficiary from this tax, and we might move up a peg in the scale of literacy. I awl umi i-inn iii hi m THE ItOCKFELLEH TELEGRAMS. . There is a trick of influencing legis lation at Washington and at other places by showing undue activity on the part of some interests to be affected by the legislation. In this way, among other measures that have been ' affected, a congressional appropria tion for a submarine boat company was recently defeated. . 7 So the practice Is by no means un ' known to promoters of legislation. l But it Is hardly probable that an old, atald, long-headed "captain of in dustry," like John D. Rockfeller, ' -would resort to sucb'pueril a methods of obstruction as to send telegrams, s reported, to United States senators announcing that certain trust legisla tion must be stopped and that "our attorney" would call. Of course, all anti-trust legislation must be exceedingly distasteful to Captain John still he must see that bis alleged - methods would result in a reaction against his interests. ' ' . However, very queer things are pos sible; and If Rockfeller did take the ' course reported, his action would not! bave been out of line with that of a borde of American manf acturers who, when a tariff bill is being considered, appear before the ways and means committee. For as John Warner says, "ten monkeys to which seven oranges bave been thrown are a model of de . command dignified behavior compared to the protected interests whenever a tariff bill is before the committee., ' THE ATJPTJBQy SOCIETY, ' One of the most important bills pend ' ing before the general assembly of the State is that for the Incorporation of the Audubon society of North Caro lina, and for the better protection if our valuable heritage of game and ong birds. ' We are especially rich in respect to these visitors of the feathery tribe. Many of them need not be called vls itors, but permanent residents with us. Kind and even reasonable usage will strengthen their respect for civiliza- : tlon as shown by us, and will Induce them to confide more implicitly their ' interests to our keeping. Our delight ful southern climate, already the envy r of many cold and bleak parts of our country, will have another Induce ment prided to Its charms by ' a little are and forethought on our part in re fusing to lay waste our heritage. - ; Besides this added attractiveness to the natural beauty: of our State, : an observance of this just law will un doubtedly have a humanizing and ele vating Influence upon our childhood, and so upon our citisenship as a whole. The practice is altogether too uncom mon of studying nature in Its gran deur and simplicity in the schools of our State. . Here the right of birds and beast are neglected. But we are glad to note in this con nection that the Agricultural and Me chanical college will Institute courses this summer looking to a remedy for this sad neglect on our part. Let every teacher, whether under the ban or not, acquaint himself with what the A. and M. college Is doing in this re spect, and If possible participate In the movement. ' .. -' Our State will inevitably be elevated, and our civilization will be refined, -when more and closer attention is paid to bird and beast and every other form ia which the Great Creator has mani- tod his power and wisdom.'-"'.' HY," said one of the greatest of American clergy men, "do I talk before a convention of America's teachers of the pcrila that crowd the pathway of truth I I have only in mind to lay deepest stress upon the importance of truth that the utmost care be taken by them to instill into the soul of their pupils their own love of truth, their own devotion to it" THE NOBLEST THING IN THE UNIVERSE IS THE HUMAN MIND.

There Is an lm- j preMioD that the roustabout Is a much J abused Individual, an inclination to class him along with the slavelike cir cus hand. This Is wholly wrong. ,. The roustabout is traveler, nomad, auto crat, man of leisure. He is little seen on the upper river, but In St Louis, Memphis and Orleans there are enough of him to man five times as many boats as touch at those porta. . Yet lower river packets have trouble In hipping full crews of the blacks. They are compelled to ship for each trip sep arately, because it does not please the rouster to take more than one trip in a month. The balance of the time he plays gentleman of affluence. On the Devotion to truth is for its own sake. THE TEACHER BY PROFESSION IS THE GUARDIAN OF THE TRUTH. THE SEARCH FOR THE TRUTH IS THE SEARCH FOR THE DIVINE. Joubert says: "Study the sciences in the light of the truth. Think nothing, say nothing, that is not the truth. Its native charms will suffice for the mind." r-tr tto A irriL.

DEPEW iHJ-LL watching the preparations for the coronation and viewing the colonials and representatives of every race from England's worldwide empire I could not help contrasting the present with the period just prior to the American Revolution. No American can have any comprehension of the feudal text and spirit of the liturgy of the coronation. Its recognition of the sovereignty in the throne and fealtv from the church, nobility and subjects is THE RE VERSE OF SOVEREIGNTY IN THE PEOPLE, which is the foundation of the institutions of the United States. And yet when George III., the great-grandfather of King Edward VH., ascended ,the throne this idea was universally admitted in the American col- 'onies. WASHINGTON AND ALL THE SIGNERS OF THE ! DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE GAVE IT CORDIAL ASSENT UP TO WITHIN A FEW YEARS OF THE ADOP TION BY THE AMERICANS OF THE ORDINANCE OF SEPARATION, The American Revolution is a startling reminder of the ease with which a king and his prime minister can undermine the throne. 1 MODERN POETRY LACKS FLEXIBILITY By WALTER H. PAGE. Publisher " HERE NEVER WAS A TIME WHEN THERE WAS 50 MUCH LITERARY WORK TOLER ABLY WELL DONE AND YET NEVER A TIME WHEN THERE WAS SO LITTLE OF THE IMAGINATIVE ELEMENT THAT GIVES DISTINCTION TO WRITING. Most of it is as flat as a board walk; its angles are all right angles. It is lacking in curves, in music and in imagination. . The reason that people do not write with more grace and flexi bility ia that it is the fashion to regard the reading of poetry as an affectation. Every cultivated person is supposed to read the great poets occasionally, but he does not WE NEVER WILL HAVE THE FULL BODY OF CULTURE UNTIL A STUDY OF' THE POETS BECOMES A NECESSARY PART OF THE EQUIPMENT OF EVERY EDUCATED PERSON. .

Not one was there who had not visited at some time every point in the .Mississippi val ley at which the steamboat calls. The were equally at home In Pittsburg or Orleans, Little Rock or Chattanooga. . In summer the rousters are fairly willing to work, though they exercise fine discrimination in the matter of boats, but in the fall, when steamers are plentiful and labor scarce, they become exceeding coy. They do not gather around the hiring mate then. He has to come to them. They regard coldly the average monthly wage, $40. They ask for SCO and even for $00, and they' 'get It. If they hold a grudge against the mate of a boat, they de mand his discharge and get that too. But the moment. Bummer or winter, that the roustabout steps upon a steam er's ' forecastle his hours of ease are dona lie works day and night, a sort of work no white man could stand for even twelve hours. He sleeps at odd minutes between landings sprawled on deck or cotton bale. lie wears shirt usually trousers and shoes and ; finds them burdensome. He lays aside his powers of sight and reasoning, retains only ears and muscles and becomes a powerful machine, answering to the slightest inclination of a mate's wIlL Willis Gibson in Scribner's.

A few months ago I caught a severe cold, hav ing been out in Inclement weather, which settled all over me, particularly in the abdomen. I was in almost constant pain. I consulted a physician and took his medicine for a month and without any relief. I then decided I would try your medidne and it was a lucky day for me wheat did so. I noticed a change Ins few days and felt encouraged to continue taking Vine of Cardui, and my patience was rewarded, foe in two weeks my pains had left me and I felt like a new woman." Mn.

Wine of Cardui is the medi cine that appeals to reasona ble women women who hold operations and cutting in horror women who know that Nature is the best phy sician. .Wine of Cardui gives women back their bfealth bv frivino1 Nahira chance to build up the wasted and dis eased tissue. Wine of Cardui regulates the.menstrual flow' and Nature, when relieved of the drains or of the poisons in the system, makes the functional organs strong and healthy again. - Any woman who is silently suffering untold paips because she is too sensitive to undergo a physician's examination and treatment can find no excuse for1 not securing relief when Wine of Car dui is offered to her. There is no pub licity to deter her. She can take Wine of Cardui in the privacy of her home, with as much assurance of a final cure as though a dozen doctors recommended it.
