A Birds-Eye Viewofihe Picture Wrought by
Eye yiewof I he
1 Icicles and Flames.
Pictures of Western North Carolina
scenery are as plentiful as ants at a
picnic and as familiar as Auld Lang
Syne," but the picture wrought by the
icicles and llames in the block that
burned Friday morning was some
thing the like of which had never
been stretched out for the pleasure of
the crowds that stopped to view it
o'er.
In the hotel building the Rich stock
of stoves, ranges, heaters and fancy
hardware occupied the first floor.
During the fire the first floor crashed
to the second, carrying a portion of it
through to the first, giving the place
the appearance of having been struck
about midway between front and rear
by a monster aerolite. The front door
stood open a few inches, through
which, if one looked, the first thing to
meet his eye was a row of bird cages,
fantastically garbed in the prevailing
white, while everything about them
ras in a similar fix.
The Featherston building held only
a heap of smoking debris in the base
ment, with only the walls standing,
vith n fringe of ice like an old bewhisk
ered giant. The Western Carolina
lianking house was not badly , burned
down stairs, but it did its share in
making up the ice palace, and formed
an interesting part of the panorama.
A sheet of ice clung to Powell &
Sniders storc-frout, and partially cov
ering one of the letters, made the big
sign from a distance read 'Powell A:
Sider."

It dosn"t take many words for a
man to tell what he thoroughly be
lieves. And hetells his story in a straight
forward, right-to the-point way that
convinces everyone.
There are no ifs" or andsM in the
letter that Mr. John D. Myres, of Un
ion Bridge, Md., writes, telling of his
wife's complete recovery ot health by
the use of the greatest remedy yet
known Paine's celery compound. Mr.
Myres writes:
"My wife was sufTering from indi
gestion and nervousness when I tot a
bottle of Paine's celery compound.
This so much improved her that she
has taken three bottles, and now is as
well as ever. .She had tried various
other medicines before taking the
compound, but with no beneficial re
sults. She used to be subject to sick
headaches, but since taking the com
pound she has not been troubled with
any headaches whatever."
Mrs. Myres" portrait is printed
above.
It is simply another ease of a feeble,
ailing woman made strong and well
by this great modern nerve invigora
tor and blood purifier. Such exper
iences are taking place every day," all

Advice
'la. I "
Riusseflll Sage
The great financier, gives the follot
In good advice to boys, which
parents might also read with profit :
" Boys, go to school ns long as yoa
can, and remember every hour spent in
study In youryouth will be worth money .
to you in after life. Read good books;
make yourself acquainted with history;
study the progress of nations and ths
careers of mtn who have made
nations great.
44 Study religion, science, statecraft
and history. Learn to read
, Intelligently, so that you can turn to
practical use in after life the reading
of your youth. Be sure you begin
right. Do mot waste time in reading
trashy books."
Mr. Sage further says :
The boy who is wanted in the
business world of today must be
educated. If his parents cannot afford to
give him a college or a high school
eduueation he must learn to study
without the aid of a teacher, in the early
mornings before business begins, and
In the evenings after business hours.
It can no longer be truthfully said thnt
an education Is out of any one's
reach."
This Is the advice of a man who b
one of the most conspicuous business
successes of our time, and who has
amassed one of the largest fortunes la
America. It cannot possibly be
charged that he is in the pay of THE
Charlotte Observer, and yet
these words given as the conviction of a
life of unusual observaton and
experience advises as strongly as words
-ity?11 has to accept the offer
of The Observer and secure this
preatest of popular educators, The
Encyclopaedia Britannlca.
The edition offered by The
Observer fills every requirement of
Mr. Sage s redpe for success. Itistfia
only edition that Is up to date. Who
will be without thesa books now,
when Tea Cents a day will securt
them?
