EathusUstc Qitherlsg ef it Lljt I ' Sch001 Worker. Lenoir, Special. The eighth annual leaelon of the North Carolina Brptiat Sunday School ChauUuquawaa held last week. The crowd at the first meeting wa much larger than had beea expected. E.Very seat 4n the?cen- ter row, and many others were filled. They kept coming. Th addressee of welcome wer un- aeually pleasing and hospitable, ; Not on word too much waa aald, Ut a kinder, better people could noli be found. J Th Rev. A. T. Howell in a most elo quent address welcomed the Cbau- tanqua in benalf of the Baptlata. ( He I a beautiful and Impressive speuker. Mr. J. L. Nelson's words of weliome were la behalf of the other denotrina tlona of Lenoir. He spoke of the orl gt .and history of the Chautauqua. and said thai It was first held on Lake Chautauqua, New York, and that the word originated with the Indians'and meant a bag tied in the miudle; ; that it was given to this lake because of Its close resemblance to a pair of saddle bags.! . ' Col, Edmund Jones, who welcomed th Chautauqua In behalf of tbe twc stubbornly refuted the argument ;hat Chautauqua meant a bag fled In -the middle. He said that It meant no such thing It meant Baptist He .taid that the word came from the words, chat and aqua; that chat meant to talk, and aqua meant water, and the word meant to talk water. "Saddle bags, indeed. ' said he. He is htunor. ous and sensible, and brought forth rounds of applause. ! ut. aiarsnau. pastor of the Fjrst Baptist church of Raleigh, in the'ao aence of Rev. Mr. Richards, of Heu dersonvlUe, delivered the response1 of welcome. Eloquent, amusing, instruc ttve, a few more such speakers with beart so brave and true would aoon bind, lnaeparably tfce hearts of e Eastern aad Western sections of North Carolina. He said that he had begun to feel so .much at home that .he was happy. "Indeed." said he. "all things about here are mine, and I am 800 feet Hearer heaven than when I left Ral eigh." Th music wa great. The orchestra 1 composed of the best musicians ttiat could be Induced to come every oiie, an artist. Following are the' members tl the orchestra: J. W. Cheek, Skirtl, Carlyl. W. F. Blount. Wilson. Peel. A more durable place could not bar been aelevted. It is a beautiful village. No .places of vice to lure peo ple from the meetings, and they i came. This la the county seat of Cald well county. i At th Wednesday morning session dent of the Chautauqua, delivered bis address. Nothing need be said. Everybody knows bkn, I reckon. ' H they don't they ought to nd him. He's a good man, and a rnena to every body. He said he believed In organ, lzation, but too much of it, would mur der a Sunday school. He said that people needed Jesus that if we woud take Him as our friend, we would l good and the world would be better. The message was ' Dashed to many hearts, and could be plainly read . in the face of good and strong men. This -means much. ' Dr. Marshall, of Raleigh, concluded a Bible leaeon. Many verses of Scrip ture were read by member of the "class," and each one wa commented upon by the learned doctor. We got ' sheaf of golden wheat every time In which not a tar wa found, and all were bound m ties or lore ana gooa couneel. Rev. H. C. Moore, of Newnern. de livered ms addrese on tbe Bible by Heart. which has had no parallel ulnae tbe foundation -of the Chautauqua. Not the entire, Bible, but a sword and dag ger for erery trial, every temptation, every sorrow.

The first dayi session of the national Third party convention was-devotod entirely to addressee, no formal action being taken beyond the appointment of a committee of three to confer with th anti-imperialists. Tbe sentiment a mong the' independent was strona against the candidacies of both McKln- ley and Bryan. It is aald a third tick et will be the outcome, although there 1 a desire to combine with the anti Imperialists, If possible, and there Is scarcely a possibility of the anti-Imperial is ta nominating a ticket. Th convention of the "Indepenents" was calle to order In the Commercial Club rooms by Thomas M Osborne, of Auburn, N. Y. The number of del egates wa not large, but enthusiasm wa plentiful Mr. Osborne stated that th committee calling the convention was appointed In July. "We have cho sen." he said, "to be known temporari ly at least by the name of the National Party. Both th old parties have grown selfish and corrupt We are here to compromise not only In mattera of judgment, but In matters of conscience In place of Lincoln, Sumner, and Chase we have McKinley. Piatt, and Hanna, and In place of Tllden and Cleveland and Russell we have Bryan, Altgeld and Tillman. We favor a platform favoring antl-lmperialism, sound mon ey nd civil service reform. With Two school girls down In Alabama write to know why it Is that ereese ! wCH not eat corn when it is dtifcwn around tLe circumference of a circle. They eay that their presiding elder couldent tell, and advised them to ask me. I supposed it was a conundrum, or that there was some catch in the question a catch like the one. Why will a guinea pig's eyes fall wit it you hnlrl it nn tiv tha totlT A tha mlnsa tCg has no tall, of course, his eyes are I In no danger. But a lady friend who raises geese assures me that she has often seen them teenpted with corn or other grain strewn thickly round a cir cle, and they will cot venture near it but If scattered, they will, after care ful inspection, approach and eat. What the circle has to do with it is past my ken, though we do know . that geese march in straight lines and the wild geese fly in straight angles. A goose is a very suspicious fowl, and is al ways on the lookout for danger. A goose is a goose; but their devotion to each other when mated is beautiful. How faithfully the gander will stand by his mate while ehe sits on her nest. She plucks the down from his breast and covers her eggs. How gallantly he escorts her lo the grass and cacorts her back when ehe leaves them fci food. -How -tenderly they care for the brood when It comes, and never leave them until feathered and grown. There are no divorces nor grass widows in the Anserian family what a pity we are not all geese. But, speaking of conundrums re minds me of how a -lady caught me sly and read poetry and mark the lov ing passages, and flowers grow lovelier and the birds sing sweeter and the world grows brighter, and thedays of love's young dream have come. De lightful days, delicious memories even an old man loves - to revel in them. Nor wonder the poets wrote so tenderly of love and the novelists made It the chief subject of . their story. X was ruminating the other day about compiling and publishing a book a little book that" could be sold fee less than a dollar, a book of gems poetic gems by the best authors, and -urging every parent to buy it for the children, for dt would help to mold and refine their characters and- give, them pleasure and comfort all their' lives. - My good father encouraged me to com- mit to memory some of the sweetest poems that; were ever written. .

What a book of gems could be made of selections from the old authors, such poems as hare not been written in fifty . years and could nobe written now.

Fll'ppinos Take Courage. Xfaaffa, By Cable. Reports from the Vlsaya Island shows that there baa been Increased activity among the in surgents there during the last six weeks. The American losses in the island of Panay - last- month were greater than In any month since Jan-1 eary last General Mojico, in Leyte, and General Lucban, in Samar, are harassing the garrisons, shooting into the towns during the night and am bushing small parties, firing and then retreatlne; upon tbe larger bodies. The - rebels possess an ample supply, of am. munition and are organized to a con siderable degree minds over that, and then let theao search the scriptures and tell me this, There Is reference made In the old and new testaments to a person who died p nr other nerson ever died; . whose body never saw corruption, whose name is never spoken and the material of whose - shroud 1s found In every household.

This took but seventeen, and so he drove bis own elephant back home again. How is that? Wasent be a smart old fellow to satisfy tbe boys and save his ele phant? But by and by these school children advance into their teens and begin to choose sweethearts, and the boys brush their hair more carefully and the girls cast glances that are shy and ' When lovely woman stoops to folly And learns too late that men betray, What art can soothe her melancholy, What charm can drive her" grief away; , - The only art her grief can smother And stifle erery buiMng sigh And bring repentance to her, over .
