Mutual Benefit Affair. One of the most remarkable Illicit distillery cases ever developed In the court came to Hunt In Federal court when It was show by evidence Intro duced that a neighborhood or "mu tual benefit" distillery has been oper ated for the past three years a few miles from Ralel.h In one of the most thickly populated sections of Wake county. Ten men, respected farmers of the neighborhood, were sentenced by the jud.ue to pay fines of .100 and served terms of imprisonment ranjr ln; from four months to thirty days. In passing sentence on the offenders, who all submitted and appealed for mercy, Judy;e Purnell said that this ease Is proof of charges made In news papers and commonly reported that tne state officers will not enforce the Watts law. That In this case there was a distillery operated for three years lnthe township where sheriff of the county lived, the distillery belntr talked of, according to the evidence at Sunday schools, Churches and oth er public featherings, and was ap parently notorious, and yet the sher iff, magistrates constables and other State otlicers did nothing and left It for the Federal officers to discover and break up the nuisance. Historic Day At Big Bethel. 1 1 ampton, Ya., J une 10. Two thou sand Virginians and North Caroli nians witnessed today a magnificent ly successful unvelllmr when Miss Franc-is Kyle, of Fayettevllle, and Miss Mar-aretTabb, of York county, Virginia, losened the strings that bound the veil about the stately shaft which commemorates the first encas ement of land forcesln the Civil War, when Henry Lawson Wyatt, of the first North Carolina volunteers, fell In battle, shedding; the first blood of the lostcause. The event was a suc cess. The Immense crowd was as re presentative an audience as could have lieen gathered for the occasion, and the only surviving- members of the party of volunteers that accom panied Wyatt on his daring- under taking; were here. Everv ktk w centered on the great shaft as Its beauty was exposed to view. Then the visitors looked upon the maker two hundred yards distant locating the exact spot where Wyatt fell In his endeavor to destroy the point of vantag-e left open to Wlnthrop's Federal forces. On the speakers' stand was a bril liant assemblage. The stand was appropriately decorated and from the swinging- bowers of a tree within a few feet of Old Hethem Church was draped the orlglanl flag: carried by the First North Carolina volunteers. The flag- was made by ladles of Ashe vllle, and used In the battle of Hethel The color bearer of the reglinentdled several years nan, and this flag; was brought from the hall of history at Raleigh for use on this occasion, the forty-fourth anniversary of the battle. Tt played with the breezes over the old battle field asaln today as It did forty-four years ag;o, and U. II. Brad Icy, J. II. Thorpe and It. II. Ricks. all North Carolina survivors of the bat tle, and of the band of volunteers with Wyatt, sat immedlatelv benefit h the colors and appeared the happiest of the say throns. Beneath the Bethel battle fla was the seneral headquarters' flas of the North Caro lina State Guard, which was sent personally by Governor Glenn for use on this occasion. Virginia flags were In evidence anions the decorations DQ '-oniederate flass were furled n,o irunK ana limbs of the -"""j wmcn has stood as a marker of the battle field for these uiu.ujr years. Captain Thorpe, Captain Uleknr Captain Bradley were much sausht after. Their presence on the stand added sreat Interest for the visitors It was Captain Thorpe, who with Wyatt, discovered the advance of Wlnthrop's forces on the left, and this discovery was quickly followed by the beginning- of the attack. The Kdsecomlte Guards, nearly 50 strong;, made a fine appearance, and the Tarboro band, which Is the band of the Stcond North Carolina Jtegl - SSSS--- . in a : 5 ment, rendered music, which made hearts beat quicker and added enthu siasm to the occasion. When that band played "Dixie," you could hear the famous -Rebel yell," and one veteran told me he could close hie eyes and go back exactly forty-four years, and that same yell would still be with him. .

A Philosopher Lays Down Maxims For Rational People. In an article of rare uplift and In spiration In AlcClure's, William James, of Harvard University, pajs tribute to his friend, Thomas David son, who was, in his time.the prophet and friend of a chosen intellectual coterie representing; the hlg;est thought In America. Thomas David son summed us his experience of life In these twenty rules of conduct: 1. Rely upon your own energies, and do not wait for or depend on other people. 2. Cllns with all your nilsht to your own highest Ideals, and do not be led astray by such vulsar aims as wealth, position, popularity. Be yourself. Your worth consists In what you are, and not In what you have. What you are will show In what you do. 4. Never fret, repine or envy. Do not make yourself unhappy by com pares your circumstances with those of more fortunate people, but make the most of the opportunities you have. Kmploy profitably every mo ment. ". Associate with the noblest peo ple you can find; read the best books; live with the mighty. But learn to be happy alone. . Do not believe that ail great ness and heroism are In the past. Learn to discover princes, prophets, heroes and saints among; the people about you. Be assured they are there. 7. Be on earth what good people hope be In Heaven. 8. Cultivate Ideal friendships and gather Into an Intimate circle all your acquaintances who are hunger lns for truth and right. Remember that heaven Itself can be nothing but the Intimacy of pure and noble souls. 9. Do not shrink from any useful or kindly act, however hard or repel lent It may be. The worth of acts is measured by the spirit In which they are performed. 10. If the world dlspise you because you do not follow its ways pay no heed to It. But be sure your way Is right. 11. If a thousand plans fall.be not disheartened. Ae long as you Dur poses are right you have not failed. 12. Examine yourself every night and see whether you have progressed n knowledge, sympathy and helD- fulness during the day. Count every day a loss In which no progress has been made.

Dear Look at above heading and tjreum a dream of joj'. I'm here, and When I saw that name tacked up over the portals of our hotel I said, "Here's where I rusticate just on the strength of the name." We are up on a bluff-sand bluff. I've been here three blessed, broiling days and haven't found anything in the place yet but sand and bluff. And sea, lots of sea, so much sea that you hope you'll never have to see so much sea again hi all your life. Also a bath house, tintyie tent, peanut pavilion and bathing houses little, hot, new pine coffins stood up on end. Also girls and girls and girls, from sixteen to sixty, assorted sizes, and all looking for the man. There are lots of him running around In the days of his youth, but for a real man such as we are led to expect, by all the summer lore ever written, hangs his delightful self around summer resorts and wears white duck and brings you water lilies and sighs over a mandolin at you 'neath the pale moonlight there isn't a single specimen wandering for miles around our villa. Do you know what they call this par ticular eyrie I have alighted on? No Man's Land. Tleasant, isn't it, after you've tolled over a typewriter while the wintry wind did a ragtime dance around your furless throat and you didn't give a rap because you were thinking of your white waists and your linens and organdies and your heaven ly, floppy Trianon hat with its lace veranda, all of which should storm the heart of the summer man and make him fall down and worship by the sil very starlight? Nancie Bell, it isn't any such stuff. There isn't any summer man, and even if there were and be didn't have sense enough to run away the minute he grasped the situation I wouldn't have a bit of respect for him. That's all. I shall be home in a few days. Just as soon as I have tan enough to bluff the stay-at-homes Into the idea that I've had a glorious time and been belle of the beach. Be strong, Nancie. Don't look even at an excursion steamer. If sinners entice thee, dress up in your organdies and walk down Fifth avenue and you'll see more admiring sons of Adam In an hour than you will out here in a week. Haplessly yours, PKRDITA. Day After Yesterday. Hello, central! All hail the man! He came, he saw, and Caesar Isn't a circumstance. He has taken the large corner room. Mrs. Banks, our general overseer, says he Is an exceptional young man. Wonder how much board he paid in advance! He Isn't real young nor real old; Just that intermediate age that is so Inter esting. I don't think he Is exactly handsome, but you know what a prop erly trimmed Vandyke and a pair of rimless eyeglasses will do for any man. He's that kind. This morning he escorted all of us through the glen. Did I tell you that we had a glen? Oh, yes; Glen Ellyn. Just fernlnst the villa. It's a break in the sand bluff, and it's damp and piny and darksome at midday. Heretofore the organdie flock had religiously es chewed Its ferny swampiness, but you Bhould have seen us trail after blm over fen and stump and hidden vine the while he fished out dinky little weeds and discoursed on them. I opine he Is a botanist. Well, it's better than a barber. A letter came for him today addressed to Professor Adri an Vogel. How's that for Individual ity? He looks it too. He does not dance, and he does not play the mando lin. He goes for his morning dip at some unearthly hour before we are up. In fact, he does not do any of the or thodox summer "manlsms," but he has manners and customs of his own. For Instance, he sings, and sings well. There are about ninety and nine muses who group themselves In the parlors after dinner to listen to their Apollo. When he sings "All Aboard For Dream land" he looks at you as much as to say he has only two passes for the boat, but the other one Is for you. Yachting and autoing he classes as nerve racking, but nature and close to nature's heart and all the rest of It is what the professor's joy Is. I think privately we would get closer to na ture's heart and the professor's heart, too. If he could be made to understand the expediency of individual lessons for his botany pupils. But he cannot lie calls for a class, and we are all classed. I hope for the best. So do the other ninety and eight muses. Botanlcally yours, PERDITA. Saturday. Come to No Man's Land every time for something doing. We have saved the professor's life. If it had only been one of us It wouldn't have been so com plicated. A composite gratitude doesn't go far when It has to be passed around. It was long after lunchtlrae, and he never misses lunchtlme. He can put away more fried blueflsh and black berry potpie than five of the muses, but it Is only proof of his exceptional excellence, and the overseer never re bukes him. Did I tell you she was a widow, also Interested in botany? I think she stands econd best. He likes fried bluefish, etc. Anyway, we missed him, and there was a swift summer storm stealing blackly up from the horizon, and the sea moaned as it brok In sobs along the shore. They do that kind of thing all right. I used to think that went with the summer man, but It doesn't. MaeOregor Clarence Blair said he hadn't showed up since breakfast, and he'd seen him making a bee line for the glen, and he'd said, "What's yer hurry 7' and the professor had said he hoped he could have one morning In peace to study without that thundering crowd of old maids hiking after him. We didn't believe . MacGregor. He looks like a pale, new sand fly, and his father and mother own all of No Man's Land. The professor never in all this world used such words as hiking and thundering, but MacGregor did. There fore, I may say, In the same common, parlance, that the whole thundering crowd of old maids pitched in and lam basted MacGregor until his pretty white linen suit was not fair to see and his twining curls were full of sand burs. Then he howled and retracted, and we all went up the' glen after the professor. "'" The glen deepens and darkens as yotl go iu, ana me siues are rooty tuiu yic clpltous, with much shrubbery and un dergrowth and crr slue trees list FROM NO MAN'S LAND ea to windward. Ana just as tne nrsi streak of lightning -quivered in the sky we heard a faint shout for help. It was the professor. He hung sus pended in air on the bare limb of a dead pine that jutted out from the rock halfway up the bluff, like Genius on regasns. the widow said on a petrified regasus. Then Genevieve Terley, our college product, said Pegasus couldn't be pet rified. He would have to be ossified. And the widow began to cry and sat down on a log and said she didn't care a bit either way, ossified or petrified, and Professor Vogel was such a lovely man and always paid his board like a gentleman, and she hated to see him killed before her eyes, and she never felt so much like fainting before in all her life. Genevieve said fainting was counted out. He was a fine target for light ning up there, and, while it was none of her business and she had no Interest in the professor as a lovely man or In the continuance of his regular board pay ing, still she thought a rope might be a good thing. - ' "In mountainous countries," began Agatha, the artist, who has been Eu ropized, "I believe they tie a rope around the waist of one person" "It's the shoulders," said Genevieve; "kind of a slipknot." The professor shouted for help again, this time fainter still. "No; the waist," said Agatha firmly. "And lower that person over the moun tain side until lie rescues the other party." "Let's lower MacGregor," murmured Genevieve, but the widow cried and said her feet were getting wet and she didn't think it was right to joke in the face of death. That braced us up, be cause the professor did look like it, so while the fleeting moments sped Gene vieve and I sped fleeter and found some clotheslines and a couple of husky lads In sweaters from the peanut stand and the boathouse, and we sped back to the glen. Then the husky lads cliinbeu the bluff on the sandy side and did the Alpine act with the clotheslines, assist ed by several ropes from the boathouse, and before our eyes the professor was pulled back to life and liberty. He is resting now. It is d;.rk and still at the villa. No hops or mando lins tonight. The shock will bring him to, I think, from the botanical dream and cause him to concentrate his joy on some loving, sympathetic heart, and it may be your PERDITA. Monday. I shall be home on the Tuesday boat. The other" girls are packing too. The overseer has fainted. Only the profess or Is serene. He was up bright and early this morning to meet the 6:08 train, and when he came back he had a Mrs. Professor and three little Frofess or juniors tagging merrily along after him. No, I don't think men were deceivers ever. I think it was absentminded- uess. Only Mrs. Professor gave the muses their crushing blow when she said she was so glad we had all joined the professor's summer botany class. as he had reduced the course rate to $10, and she thought it was the sweet est, most elevating study one could take up. We all assured her it was el evating. It was for the professor. And we're all going home tomorrow. Yours for single blessedness,' PERI IT A. A Philadelphia Gallant. There Is nothing that astonishes a woman so much as meeting a man who takes her at her word. A certain very impetuous young woman living in the suburbs of this city experienced this unique sensation when she at tended a inusicale given by a friend and met a specimen of the too literal male. She was about to leave the house when her hostess called after her: "Oh, don't think of ifohig out on such a stormy night alone. Mr. G, will be glad to go with you. Won't you. Mr. G.V" turning to a gentleman at her right. "Delighted," said the would be escort, beaming on the young woman, and he slipped ..on his over coat and stood eady with hat and umbrella in hand. "Oh, , please don't bother," said the protesting girl. "You know I am quite accustomed to going out alone. I am not, the least bit afraid. I nearly always leave here un escorted." "Oh, well, if that is the case," said the stupid man, "I don't need to go then. I would not think of Interfering with your, lifelong habits. And without giving the Independent young woman a chance to avail herself of his escort he threw tff his overcoat and joired a pretty blond at the end of the hallway. Philadelphia Record. A RIDE UP PIKE'S PEAK. It la Liable to Almost I.Kerallj Burnt Your Head Open. To take a pleasure ride that almost literally bursts your head open is a uovelty thrilling enough, it is to be pre-tiunu-d. for the most enirer thrill seeker. But that is what often happens to him who essays the dizzy heights of Pike's peak, 14,oi M) feet above sea level. "1 went up (in the cog road from Manitou," said a Baltimore man, "in .oninanv with a trnrtv of tourists, and before we reached the Halfway House there were , two who exhibited such positive symptoms of distress that at the first stop they had to leave and take the next train down. The rest of us continued. In a seat a little in front jf us was a young girl who had been growing gradually hysterical and whom we had. been watching curiously to Sk what, would happen next. It hap Kiid. Suddenlj- she threw up her hands and fell backward, with blood gushing from her mouth, ears, eyes and nose. The conductor, who was evi dently accustomed to such scenes, told her escort to lay her flat on her back, as the pressure was less' there than at the head height in a sitting posture. Then,-at the next station, she was tak en off and sent back to Manitou by the wagon road. They didn't dare to take her down by train, as jfhe quick change to the denser air migh Ijave proved serious.

I thought I'd take a short run toj the fine, rarefied ajr, and I did .took a dozen steps, when my heart be gan to beat like a trip hammer, and I concluded that running at that height was not for me. They told me you couldn't boll eggs or beans up there. I tion't know, because I didn't try.

Gema Gleaned From the Teaehlngi of All Denominations. A man's life will not be a?y higher or deeper or nobler than the standards he has lifted and the principles he has idealized Rev. Dr. Charles Edward Locke,-Methodist, Brooklyn. The Human and the Divine "Mind. The human mind is like a flute, which can'play but one note at a time. God's mind must be like an organ, which plays chords. Rev. Dr. Frank Crane, Unitarian, Worcester, Mass. The Sonl' Peril. The real peril of tbe soul is not in the wrath of God. but in the sorrow of God; not in hell or torment, but in a desolation like the ruined columns of Tadmor in the desert. Rev. Willard B. Thorp, Congregationalist, Chicago. Value of Patience. Patience, born of faith, ripened by endurance, working in calmness, look ing forward with hope, mellowed by sacrifice, steadied by the touch of a divine hand, will lead to the goal and sanctify life at the last. Rev. Dr. Po lemus H. Swift, Methodist, Chicago. A Proper Balance. We must seek to preserve a proper balance in our religious thinking. Some men have seen the danger of form and have sought to lead the Christian life apart from it, while others have allow ed the spirit to be entirely lost. Rev. Dr. WT. J. Williamson, Baptist, St. Louis. Man InTlnclble Ally. Faith is the energy that moves the human world. It is man's invincible ally. Faith is not one of the luxuries of life; it is our daily bread. It is the regal word of the Bible. It has this royal state in the Scriptures because it occupies the throne of sight in the prac tical life of man. Rev. A. Bilkoosky, Universalist, Baltimore. Iiingnaice of Symbolism. The sea and mountains and nature speak the language of symbolism They are not so much water and rock and earth spread out or piled up. That which impresses us as we stand upon the shore or sail upon the sea is not the waters that are tossed In tempest or sleep In calm, but the mighty symbol ism of the ocean itself. Rev. G. B Vosburgh, Baptist, Denver. Care of Oar Relia-lous IV a tares. Man's religious nature is the most real and lasting thing he has; hence the has need to guard it well. To neglect or to abuse it Is to bring Irreparable loss to the soul. God was at great pains to give us a holy religion and spared not his only Son that our re ligious nature might be satisfied. What a mistake to neglect religion! Rev. E. K. Bell, Lutheran, Baltimc, ' An Omnipotent 'od. Man craves for an onr lotent God who can be with him always wherever he may be. This is one reason why the heathen multiply their idols, so they need an idol for the family, another for the market, another for the journey, another for war, etc. Their idols are not considered omnipresent, else they would not need to do this. In Christ, however, we have one who meets our demands. Rev. R. E. Williams, Evan gelist, Butte, Mont, Comfort For the Afflicted. Some time you will see that Qqd came to you in mercy, not in judgment. He has taken your darlings out of darkness into light, out of danger into safety, out of limitations into the il limitable beauty of his wide universe. Will you not submissively yield to his call? He has given you the anoint ing of grief and placed upon your head the crown of sorrow. But one day your starry crown will be more beautiful for its thorns of pain. Now all you can do is to trust him. He is your Father, Rev. Edwin Whittier Caswell, Meth odist, New York. The Trne Christian. The true Christian is the one who carries-the light into darkened homes and is so careful of the light that he forgets himself. He seeks not his own but another's welfare. He brings the gospel. He lives the gospel. He is the gospeL He exalts the Christ, who him self bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. He is a witness for him He "testifies the gospel of the grace of God." He knows the result Is cer tain and his own personal reward Is sure. He works and waits for that most desired of all commendations, the "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter thou Into the joy of thy. Lord." May this be said to every one of us. Rev. Dr. Robert Bruce Hull, Baptist, Brooklyn. Does It Payf We are living in such a materialistic age that most persons give not a little thought to the personal gain as to what they do, think and say. And yet, on the other hand, the results of much that Is done leads one to believe that many are poor mathematician's; at feast they get very little lasting satisfaction for what they expend. Action and reactiqni, cause and effect, place man at the cen ter of a system of self executing re wards or penalties, according as he lives, so that man is to a large degr the architect of his own fate, apd for most of his successes or failures he plays no little part In the transaction. It is therefore only right that nmn should in all his undertakings ask him self the question, "Does It pay?" If uot, then let him change his mode of living. For example, does it pay to make a promise without having any Idea even at the time of keeping that promise? Does It pay to selfishly wrong some one, hoping thereby successfully to build upon the ruins of another's downfall? Does it pay to toil and labor solely for the things which perish when at tbe same time you are sacrificing the privi leges of present soul needs, together with the blessed hope of the bright be yond? Rev. Dr. L. M. Zimmerman Lutheran, Baltimore. Ills Fat-orite Instrument. "The tout ensemble of that orchestra is remarkably good," remarked Mr. Newrich's host at the box party. "Don't you think so?"

I had heard that people of that en slaved country were very bitter against the Russian government. What was my surprise to hear the members of this family declare that they were per fectly satisfied with their oppressors and bitterly opposed to those who were Always fomenting trouble, thus incit ing the police to curtail the privileges of the people. Bertha Tannanjors m-as one of those light complexioned,. blue eyed, flaxen haired beauties who come only out of the north. I had always fancied trop ical women, with their black hair and eyes and their intense natures. Nev ertheless I lost my heart to a girl whose disposition seemed as mild as her pink and white cheek and her soft blue eye. I could not but regret that so beautiful a creature should be en tirely devoid of spirit. But I was a Pygmalion enamored of a Galatea. There was life under the marble sur face, and In time the real human be ing stepped forth. Bertha yielded a sort of tacit assent to my suit. Of course I was disap pointed In this, though it was in ac cordance with her character. I would have preferred that she should have thrown me off, so that I might come again till I had conquered her. But girls abroad are expected to accept any suitor their parents approve, and Bertha's parents not only approved of me, but seemed impatient for our mar riage and departure for the United States. Bertha herself betrayed no preference in the matter. Had I not been infatuated with her impassive beauty and spirituelle characteristics I ' would not have assented to a marriage under such conditions. The wedding took place in a great ' church at Viborg, where the family lived, and the usual wedding feast fol lowed. Our arrangements had been made to go the same night down to Cronstadt and thence by sea to Stock holm. I would have preferred remain ing In Viborg for several days after the ceremony, but Bertha laid this plan for our immediate departure, and in ad hering to it I noticed in her the first signs of a will. The wedding supper over, we went upstairs to gather our band baggage. Bertha went to a closet to take out the bat and coat she In tended wearing. Suddenly she ex claimed: "How unfortunate! I have forgotten to send the jar of marmalade I intend ed for a parting gift to Kitty Olbord. I expected to give it to her tonight, but she is ill and was unable to come.

COUNCIL & UPCHURCH, Funeral Directors and Licensed Embalming. P. S. Our (Mr. Upchurch Board of Embalming to practice She put the jar In her satchel, and we went downstairs, bade goodby to family and friends, entered tl:e car riage and drove first to Kitty Olbord s home. Ou reaching it I alighted, took the jar and. going to the door, rang the bell. Instead of a servant a man with very red hair and a very pale face, be longing apparently to the middle class, opened the door, took the jar and with out waiting for my explanations shut the door i:i my face. Then we drove on to the station. Early the next morning we left Cronstadt. We reached Stockholm the following morning and proceeded to a hotel for breakfast. I purchased a morning jour nal by the way and, having ordered a breakfast, opened the paper to glance at the news. The first thing I saw un der large headlines was an account of an attempt the day before to assassi nate the governor of Finland. A man with a red head and a pale face had se cured admittance to his excellency and was about to hurl at him a glass jar marked "Marmalade" when his arm was caught by an attendant. The jar was found to contain nitroglycerin. "What Is it, dear?" asked my wife In her usual mild tone as I showed signs of collapse. At the same time ehe laid her hand on mine and added "Courage!" She had seen the head lines and had read the news quicker than I. "We have failed." she added, "but I have, done my part, and vou will not ho thus jeopardized again." I looked into her mild blue eyes, and save a trace of disappointment there was no sign of emotion. "itemain nere, l said, all or a tremor, "while I go and learn by what conveyance we can get on." "Goodby." she said. And from the look she gave me for the first time knew that it would be hard for her to lose me. "I will be back directly," I answered her. And she looked intensely ' re lieved. I learned that a ship would leave in an hour by the Baltic and North seas for Rotterdam, and, returning to my wife without waiting for breakfast, I led her out to a carriage, and we were soon aboard the vessel. This put us on the sea again, where, the police could not reach us. - At Rotterdam we found a ship just leaving for America and had barely time to get aboard. Then I collapsed, for I knew we were safe. I have no desire for the more intense brunette of the south. My wife, who had seen her people crushed by a L tyrannical government, had it in her to risk all on what she believed to be a legitimate attempt to assist in freeing them. It was no freak of passion such as would lead a southern woman to stab a lover, but a conception of duty far above all individual consid eration. Since her sojourn with me In America my wife has remained tran quil, but sfnee the recent revolt in Russia she has shown signs of Internal fire, and I am in terror lest she leave me to become a part of the volcano of revolution.
