Soon the trains began coming down the road high the spirit had risen is indicated by an incident of the affair. It is related that the barbers refused to take pay for services rendered to the guests of the city.

The committee of fifty bustled about to at tend to the lodging of every visitor. On one of the Wilmington and Weldon trains there were SOU people. The exercises opened on the Academy Green, where a stand had been erected for the orators and the clergy, and seats The speaking was over bv 2 o'clock and the procession was formed which was to end at the dinner hall. The. brilliancy of the parade was attested by the eleven military companies in line and the pres ence of .six of the best bands that could be obtained in the Union. The New Bern Light Infantry, Capt. J. -V. Jordan, was cheered to the echo for their precision in step and their fine uniforms of dark blue with red and yellow trimmings. A continuous line of people watched the parade, the windows filled with fair faces, the boys perched themselves in the trees in real boy fashion. The quick stepping lads who marched that day were soon ;to do more arduous marching, to charge on many battle fields and meet death in many forms. But there was no thought of such that afternoon. The' procession was led by Rev. Mr. Hawks and Judge John 11. Donnell. The preparations for such a dinner were necessraily very great. William II. Oliver, then a young man, was se lected as chairman of the entertainment committee. He tells now of the thou sands of pounds of beef purchased, the thousand bushels of bysters. and how he bought a whole TMat load of sweet potatoes and had them roasted in the- bakery ovens, with such a result that af terwaTds numerous letters were re ceived inquiring how those delicious yams were prepared. The provisions were collected on Tuesday, two days before the feast, and it turned very warm so that the committeemen were in a frenzy of apiprehension lest the meat should spoil. It is related with glee br Mr. Oliver that when he went to bed that night it was with dire forebodings, only to awake "Wednesday morning to find the ground covered with six inches of snow and the provisions saved.

But 1 sup pose either or both are thankful to be alive, and that's about the depth of the Thanksgiving. ' So much for those who have something to be thankful for. Now let us look at the other side of life. I've been tending court during the week, and seen some sad sights, and I've seen more practical, common-sense justice than I've seen in a long while. When some people say that the Old North State don't take care of her people, strangers or home folks, then I say they don't know it all. The first case referred to was that of a young man, old enough sure to have known better, who was charged with the larceny of money and other things from a Syrian in a boarding house where both were rooming. Circumstantial evi- thnt Kiite looked like a fnll-tuown con sumpfive. Having used up the soap on that side of my jaw, he borrows some from under my chin and plasters it on the clean-shaven side and goes at it again.. Now it is a well-known fact that an ordinary bctifoer makes 525 strokes of his knife in an ordinary shave, but if this butcher didn't make 1.525 then I'm liable to indictment for false pretenses. And as I can afford but one shave a week any way, I'm going to let 'em grow into good, long, effervescent, populistio Vhiskers that the cold, wintry winds may canter through rather than walk through the balance of my short life with an artificial shads -of youth upon me that I can't wash off. a c When I was a lad our locals used to read: "John Joues father today appren ticed him to James Smith till he come of age, and he shall diligently serve him. avoiding bad habits and keeping such regulations and obeying such nias.-?r faithfully during the term of his appren ticeship." His friends rejoiced with him in securing such a good master, etc. Nowadays you see it: "John Jones has, after consideration, accented a position with So-and-so, and will hereafter be identified with such business." .What a condescension "John did make. :"be sure, and how srlad So-and-so sh il be to have John take the job, after due consideration! It makes one tired. Si A good story is told of a Hebrew friend who dealt in "wet" jroods. A purchaser from the rural district eame in and got a pint and took it home. For reasons best known to himself he left it out doors over night, and a cold snap coming on. it froze and burst, so that the next morning when a little sm-ick might have gone good he found nothing but a broken bottle and a few drops of the liquid left. As m:h:ng had hit it he was wrathy and lost no time seeking an explanation in town from the afore said merchant "Vat's dot you say. dot bottle busted. down on tinn ls-.T, took dot bottle vt '!

A little of a bad thing is a good thing, but too much of a good thing is a bad thing, is our deduction from the operation of natural law. Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, Presi dent of the United States, is undeniably one of the most 'prominent, as well as one of the most earnest, advocates of what he terms the "strenuous life." In his ardent adherence to its principles he has perhaps become somewhat too strenuous. This being so he is a good representative of the too strenuous life. The superiority of independence of thought and action over servile obedi ence to the d'ictates of any one is plain ly evident. It is a strange misconcep tion that leads people to confuse inde nendence and strength of character with i inn strenuous life. There are two tvpes of persons, politically speaking: One class has too little self-reliance, the otlur is too aggressive. To the lat ter class bi longs Mr. Roosevelt. I shall introduce as evidence in order to prove the truth of th'.s assertion the fcJSowing: (It He has recently violated precedent, and all antecedent custom in d'.'ung with a negro, so as to thereby show- hi-s .contemi.it for some social usages now in force.

If the small boy failed to make himself a nuisance and mock the musicians, he failed to do his duty. Six of the best bands in the country on exhibition at once was no ordinary show. 1 Then there was the great ball. It was held in the passenger depot, which at that time was in the big building that had been the woollen factory of Stanly vV: Guion.

I.ad?s" poor old mother, put on the stand to tes tify that she had sent him the money, something like fifty dollars, in a satchel with, some cloihes. What agony that poor woman underwent as the cross examination of the prosecution proceeded to tear the testimony to pieces God alone knows. When the final jury returned the verdict of guilty, amid most pro found silence in the court room, and thu judge pronounced' the sentence, three years in the penitentiary, the poor soul threw her arms about the son's neck and shriek after shriek rent the stillness of the crowded romi. With tears stream ing down his cheeks, and holding hi; poor mother in a x lose embrace, begging her to control herself, strong men turned away from the sight. If guilty, what a price to pay for the paltry amount . If not guilty, 'what tearful, agonizing days and nights between now and lib erty! Who can fathom the depths of a mother's love'.' Who can measure the bounds of . sacrifice?

ADVICE FOK S.UOKEliS . ' If You Jlnt Smoke Bo It,. Willi Leis urely Iofi (Chicago Tribune.) There are many pipe smokers who do not know how to get the best there is out of their indulgence. The great point in pipe smoking is to smoke slowly. Nervous smokers smoke too rapidly and burn their tongues with hot smoke, be sides failing entirely to get the fullest and best flavor out of the tobacco. It is all n matter of habit, which it-is hard for some peop'-e to acquire. In some erases pipe smokers have tried for years to check their smoking speed without success. They begin too late, and the habit of rapid smoking is shaken oft with difficulty i when it is once acquired. Rapid smoking is as bad as rapid eating or worse. It -is also -'"bad form." whether it is ! cigar, pipe or cigarette. The smoking should be deliberate in order to get ths? fullest enjoyment. It is especially so with tf- pip?;? Many per sons have smoked all their lives ami yet do not know how to smake. It 1s as pain ful to watch some people smoke as it is to sit at the table with a man .who "grabbles" and "gorges" his food on the "tifieen-n!;nues-for-ret'reshmeuts" i!an. The deliberate pipe smoker gets out of his pipe an enjoyment of which the rapid smoker has no inkling. A cigar which has once gone out has jts flavor ruined- forever, for nothing is more ob noxious to the sense of "smell than a newly extinguished "butt." The beastly nersons who tjtkj thwir luwiith- "imt " half-lighted or newly, extinguished, in!" the elevated ami surface cars should have some punishment devised for then "something humorous with boiivr- oii." . : But it makes no difference, to the flavor of a pipe how many times it goes out. Fastidious pipe Miiokors always have at least two pipes at hand and never refill one until it i Vnlirely cooled off. This is a help toward good smok ing and a reasonable life in n pipe. A j.ood wny to tell if you ate smoking too fast is to hold the bowl of the pine in your haiul If it is too hot to be" held with comfort, then you know that your smoking .peed is too great. Good to bacco, a good pipe and dsliherateness are the prime es?enti.-i'.s in pipe smok ing. Eat slowly; Finoke slowly, drink seldom; -so fchaM you live long in the land and enjoy the fullness thereof. ' S "'.

The usual and natural event which takes place is the contami nation of the pure when it is associated with the impure. "Black absorjbs no co".Qr." If we rub together Mack and white pieces of chalk, the wiiite' pieces wUl became black from the contact, while the black pieces will scarcely be affected. Woman suffrage is a radi cal departure from all of the established and time-honored principles of popular government, and we should neitilier tcl erate or allow its further introduction. I would greatly prefer to find a little less strenuousness jn our chief executive than is found in one who wishes to lower the dignity of our women in order to accomplish an irnpossiibiliry, namely, tlhe immediate purification of our. politics. President Roosevelt is in favor of ex pansion, , ad infinitum. He evidently believes with some who say, "We must expand or perish." Bryan says, "If we expand we shall pensh. Between these "devil and ' deep sea" opinions, iWfceTe are we at? Both are radical in different directions. Bran thinks that we ought to go back too much. Roose velt thinks that we should go forward too fast. He would take every country, and annex them to the United States. I believe in expansion, but not in too much, or too fast expansiou. We should take it gradually. Some one has compared our nation to an organism which must grow or die, saying, that in nature there is no such thing as standing still. The analogy wkI not bear close inspection. The growth of ct'lls and change of evils, in the pre viously existing jxarts of an organism are niore Important and essential fea tures than the continual addition cf new parts. There, is such a thing as a na tion just as an individual getting too large," so large as to make it unwieldy and difficult to manage. Historians tell us that the vital fault in Roman insti tutions, which caused their fall, was the extension of a constitution ; originafiy devised for a city to make it serve as a constitution for half of the then known world, and the inability "of the constitu tion to stand such an extension. Our constitution was formed for a Republic composed of sef-governiug States: no piovision was made in it for the govern ment of cqlonie,. We hod not then reached a stage in our natural progress wiien a necessity for siuli a pro tmoo existed. Now. changed coniuiens, of which the founders of our constitution had no cognizance, have r,n - jelled u to, held colonies. I have no doubt that we can do so without in any way di minishing the stability of our govern- j ment. But. it would be be-t for us to go slow. Boswell wor.id say to the na tion as did Kipling to ugland. "Go take' up the white man's burden." We as a nation have a a enormous appetite, but our powers of "benevolent asimi iation" have not as yet beeu thoroughly fested: so, we had better go slow. Mr. Roosevelt is a good man. All good men have faults.
