She's not versed in Greek or Latin, and of art she nothing knows, She never studied music, and to clubs she never goes To hear some weighty paper on the poetry of Poe, The ologles and 'isms' are all things she doesn't know; But her Christmas shopping journeys she can very quickly plan. For she knows exactly what to buy to give unto a man. In discussions of the graces she is silent as a clam, And her speech is free entirely from all trace of epigram; To the classics she's a stranger, and to modern thinkers, too, And on higher criticism she cannot converse with you, But she's wise, and who can doubt it when I tell you she can plan A shopping list at Christmas, knowing what will please a man? You may boast about your culture, you may brag about youi art, You may think that you are clever, and may think that you are smart, You may talk in French and German, and the poets you may quote, And profoundly tear to pieces what some great old master wrote; But with Christmas time approaching, I am for the wife who can Go down with her money and buy something for a man. Detroit Free Press. flow About It? You vowed to be cheerful, The test is to come. Are you smiling this morning Or moody and glum ? You vowed you'd endeavor To spread smiles around; What was it? Cold coffee, I hear that you frowned. You vo wed to be patient; Come now and coLfess, Had she used your razor . To rip up a dress? You vowed to be pleasant To all you would meet; What? She didn't say" Thanks" When you gave up your seat? You vowed you'd oblige, Yet you growled over much At the friend who came in Just to make a small " touch." O, these are the tests That our good resolves end. Come on and confess, How about it, my friend? TUP STATE'S RESOURCES I S to the mineral resources of North Carolina visi tors know very little, and yet it easily main tains first place in the eastern states, in the combined production of the' metals, gold, silver, copper and iron; non-metallic minerals, talc, barytes, etc. ; structural materials, building stone, brick, etc.; and pottery clays. During the year 1903 this total pro duction was nearly two and a half mil lion dollars briefly summarized as fol lows:' Metals Non-metallic minerals Structural materials Pottery and pottery clays. $177,600 258,902 1,771,603 99,011 Total value . $2,307,116 And this a decrease of over seven hun dred thousand dollars for 1907 owing to In the non-metaliic minerals there was a slight increase in the production of millstones, but a dejided decrease in the production of all the others. The value of the structural materials produced during 1908, of $1,771,603 was a decrease of $389,415, as compared with $2,161,018, the value of the pro duction of 1907. The greatest decrease was in the production of granite and common brick. In 1907 the value of the granite production was $906,476, while in 1908 it dropped to $802,927, a decrease of $103,549. The production of common brick in 1907 was 174,750,000 valued at $1,150,185, while the production of 1908 has fallen off to 144,192,000 brick, valued at $900,611. There were slight gains in the production of sand-stone, marble and lime. The value of the production of pottery and pottery clays in 1908 was $99,011, an increase of $3,284, as compared with THE MINERAL PRODUCTION IN NORTH CAROLINA FOR TUB YEARS 1903-1908.

As these form by far the larger portion of the mineral production of the fcstate, there was, consequently, a considerable falling oft' in the total value. Its effect, however, was also noticed in the production of practically all of the minerals of the State, there being but one or two that showed any increase in production for 1908 over that of 1907. The gold production of 1908 was 4,716.32 fine ounces, valued at $97,495, an increase of 740.24 fine ounces, and of $15,302.00 in value over the produc tion of 1907. The countv nrodiiina- the x 0 largest amount of this production was Montgomery with Ho wan second. The output of silver and copper, which are very closely related toeajh other, was very greatly below the production of 1907, the copper being valued at only $2,560, as compared with $116,410, the value of the 1907 production. All of the princi pal copper mines were idle during 1908. 1903 1904- 1905 .1906 1907 1908 $113,604 $123,924 $129,153 $122,008 $82,195 $97,495 16,907 19,132 20,216 30,944 14,299 688 67,037 36,600 88,000 135,829 116,416 2,560 78,540 79,816 70,352 75,638 113,488 76,877 12,230 6,586 9,000 , 13,500 902 6,500 2,652 4,110 1,969 4,052 88,300 100,721 100,900 205,756 209,956 114,540 2,400 3,410 3,375 11,940 15,250 13,330 36,827 36,2d9 13,659 12,578 1,664 1,525 10,600 3,350 5,000 7,580 570 270 ltfj 900 58,694 79,433 107,324 125,510 51,b2t 37,224 570 200 1,600 24S 46 21,347 33.93 J 21,670 10.12J 18,855 10.5S0 76,984 65,483 74,940 66,979 74,347 51,443 13,085 21,902 38,755 31,413 40.3U2 27,163 248 525 475 475 25,300 8,820 2,?36 360,822 312,576 597,922 854,301 956,919 824,927 647 9,191 2,191 2,010 17,500 29,103 32,975 38.808 14,000 76,000 76,670 85,622 90,036 85,505 85,619 866,458 944,880 1,038 430 1,182,660 1,316,308 943,968 $1,915,570 $1,985,675 $2,439,381 $3,007,601 $3,173,722 $2,307,116 $95,727, the value of the 1907 production. There is given in the following table the mineral production in North Carolina for the years 1903-1908, inclusive. With the exception of gold, the production of all the minerals is affected by the finan ciai condition of the country and in many cases the increase or decrease in the production of a mineral is entirely due to increased prosperity or financial depression of the country. With some of the minerals, however, the decrease is due to other causes, such as excessive cost of production or working out of the deposits. Sunday Evening:' Concert.
