Aivocates ol temperance, who are the real lovers ol humanity and hit man goo J, are always glad to note any improvement in the condition of the temperance cause ; and eo we gladly reprint the following pleasing obser vation by tha Littleton News Report ar : "During the last decade drunken aess has greatly decreased. Tie noiey lrunk is more intolerable than other wise in all public gatherings. He is becoming an unknown and unwelcome member at . any public gathering. Public sentiment no longer smiles favorably upon him who lingers at the wine sup. Business interests no long er furnish employment to men who frequent liquor houses The day is lot far distant when the occasional Irunkard will find employment out of his reach." The State Board of Agriculture has cut down the appropriation to the State Fdir from $1,500 to $750. O! this action the Raleigh Times -peaks with regrets and adds : "Agricultural Fairs are educational institutions. Perhaps this is not real ized readily by those who take exteud ed trips and visit our great expositions but it should be remembered that a -i trip to tha State Fair H a greater education to some North Carolinians than a week's stay at the Paris exposi tion would be to some of the favored few. Whataver teuds to enlarge one's view, to lift him out of the limits ol his home or farm, and bring him in touch, even in a small measure, with the great outer world and its progress, educates. The agricultural board can not find a better use for its money than in liberally aiding the State Fair." At Butler College, Ind., 5n a oint debate between the boys and girls re cently, the following question was dis cussed : "Resolved, That pie is of greater service to manhood than ice cream." Butler College is a co-educa-uoual Institution and of course the female representatives stood for ice cream while the the boye,, as bays al ways have and always will, stood for pie. Through weakness of j adgmcn?;, c x treme modesty or some other false reasoning, the iudg3 decided the con test in favor of ice cream. It should have been decided in fayor ol pie. No matter what the arguments on either side pie ought to hare had it ; for to any one with common sense ju3t a plate ol pie by the side of a saucer of ice cream, with never a word spoken, s'ui!l Inv3 carriel tha question. Ex Congressman John V. Atwater has announced himself an independent candidate for Congress in the Fourth dietrict. Iu 1900 Mr. Atwater stood tor nomination by the Democratic party, claiming to be a Democrat, true as anybody. It nehad been nominated and elected by the Democrats, he would not be an independent candidate row, but would stand for renomination by the samo party and would doubtless denounce any one who might be pursu ing the course which he himself is now pursuing. His reason for hia independ ent candidacy now is, that he deserved but did not receive the nomination by Democrats two years ago. The Chatham Record pointedly sajs : "By his candidacy he is asking the Democrats of this district now to treat Mr. Pou just as he blames them for treating him in 1900. Ho claimed then that he ous,lttoba nominated because he served faithfully one term, and yet now opposes Hon. E. W. Pou who is serving his first term with such honor to himself and to hia State. It it was wrong, as Mr. Atwater claims, for the Democrats not to nominate him m 1900, it is certainly j uat as wrong for them now not to nominate Mr. Pou, and two wrongs cannot make a right !" Bol'Jitt's ESS Salvo , Fer PES taw wr WHEN Y00 MEET A BEAR. A Bear up a Tree. HOW HE FALLS, "There are a'wiys' two surprises when you meet a bear," says Mr. Wil liam J. Long, the popular writer- of inimaf stories, in an article with the title abovo given, which we find in The Outlook's Annual Recreation Number, just published. "You have me and he has the other." In all the .speciarcircumslauces under which tho meeting may occur, the bear seems to know what he must do and usually is much quicker in. decision than the man. For instance : Once in a lifetime, as you steal through the autumn woods or hurry over the trail, you may hear sudden loud rustlings and shakings on the hardwood ridge above you, as if a small cyclone were perched there for awhile, amusing itself among the leaves before blowing on. - Then, if you etcal up toward the sound, you will fiud Mooween standing on a big limb of ajaeech-tree, grasping the nar rowing trunk above with his powerful forearms, tugging and pushing mightily to shake down tho ripe beechnuts. The rattle and dash of the falling fruit are such music to Mooween 's cars that he will not hear the rustle of your approach, nor the twig that snaps under your careless foot. If you cry aloud now, under the hilarious impreseion that you have him sure, at last, there is another sur prise awaiting you. And that sug gests a bit of advice, which is most pertinent: don't stand under the bear when you cry cut. If he is a lit tle fellow he will shoot up the tree, faster than ever a jumping-jack went up his stick, end hide in a cluster of leaves, as near the top as he can get. But if he is a big bear, he will tumble down on you before you ,know what has happened. No slow climbing for" him ; none of the baltins and looking nd tearchiisg of the rough bark with his claws for a better grip, which mark his usual cautions descent. He just lets go and comes down by gravita tion. As Uncle Remus says who has some keen knowledge of animal ways under his story-telling humor "Brer B'ar, he scambled 'bout half-way down de bee tree, en den he turn eve'ything loose en hit do gnnm' kcrblff! Look like 'cwuz miff ter jolt de life out'n 'ira." Somehow it never does jolt tho life out of him, notwithstanding his great weight ; nor does it interfere in any way with his speed of. action, which is like lightning, the instant he touch es tho ground. Like the coon, who can full from an incredible distance without hurting himsqlf, Mooween comes down perfectly limp, falling on himself like a great cushion ; but the moment he strikes, all his muscles seem contract at once, and he bounds off like arubber ball into the deusest bit of cover at hand. Twico haye I seen him coma down in this wav. Tno first time there were two cubs, nearly full-grown, in a tree, One went up at our shout ; the other came down with such startling sodden ness that tho man who stood ready with his rifle to shoot the bear jump ed for his- life to get out ot the way ; and before he had blinked the aston lshmcntoutof hia eyes Mooween was gone, leaving only a violent nodding of the ground-spruces to tell what had becomo of him. VIRULENT CANCER CURED. Startling prof of a "wonderful ad vance in medicine is given by druggist G. W. Roberts of Elizabeth, W. Va An old man there had long suffered with what good doctors pronounced in curable cancer. They believed his case hopeless till be used Electric Bit ters and applied Bucklen's Arnica Salve, "which treatment completely curod him. When Electric Bitters are used to expel bilious, kidney and microbe poisons at the same time this salve exerts its matchless healiDg poweiv blood diseases, skin eruptions, ulcers and sores vanish.

' The blackbirds call in tho lindens , That shade the fallen rafter, And close beside tho ruined mill Is heard the brook's soft laughter. From a tang'e by the crumbling wall A gush of music swelling Shows where, deep in the lilac's shade, Tho wood-thrush hides his dwelling. Joint owners they the brook, the trees, The birds on airy pinion, The flowers which breathe their frag rant lives, In this most fair dominion. An Object Lesson. Salisbury Sun. The entire South owes a debt of gralitude to Representative Thompson, who has just returned to Washington with a party of Northern and Western congressmen whom he took on a tour through the South at his own expense in order that they might better under stand the relations existing between tho whites and blacks. The impres sions produced on these gentlemen is voiced byi Representative Darrougb, of Michigan, who staled to a Sun re porter that he seo3 no reason for inlcr lerence on the part of congress in Southern affairs. These gentlemen return to their congressional duties with a broader vision and a clearer knowledge in re gard to actual conditions. Such inlor malion as they posse -s will clear away many a fog and erroneous idea that they have heretofore had. They will be better able to handle problems af fecting the South in an impartial, pas sionless manner. Wo are glad that th9 trip of these gentlemen proved so pleasant and that they paw some thing of genuine Southern hospitality. Injured fcy Violin Playing. Youth's Companion. "What force least expected does the greatest damage to buildings?" was a anestion which a representative of the Indianapolis News asked a we'.l known architect. The architect's answer may be a surprise to those who do not un derstand that it is the regularity ot vi bration that makes it powerful. It is difficult to tell, replied the architect, but f will venture to say that you would never expect violin- playing to injuro the walla of a build ing. Yet it certainly does. There have been instances when the walls of stone and brick structures have been seriously damaged by the vibrations from a violin. Of course these cases are unusual, but the facts are establish ed. - The vibrations of a violin are really serious in Choir unseen, unbounded force, and when they come with regu larity tboy exercise an influence upon structures of brick, stone or iron. Ol course it takes continuous playing for many years to Iooeon masonry or. to make iron brittle, but it will do it in time. I have often thought of what the result might be if a man would stand at the bottom of a nineteen elory light well, on tho first floor of the great Ma sonic Temple, in Chicago, and play there continuously. The result could bo moro oas'ly seen there than almost anywhere else, because the yi oration gathers force aa it sweeps upward. A man can feel the vibrations of a violin on an iron-clad ocean vessel, and at t he same tiim be unable to hear the music. It is the regularity which means so much. Like the constant dripping ot water which wears away a stone, the incessant vibration of tho violin makes its way to the walla, and attacks their solidity. HAPPY TIME IN OLD TOWN. "We felt very happy," writes R. N. Beyill, OI4 Town, Va., "when Buck leu's Arnica Salve wholly cured our daughter of a bad case of scald head." It delights all who usa it for Cuts, Corns, Burns, Bruises, Boils, Eruptions. Infallible for Piles. Only.2fc at E. T. Whitehead & Cg'g drug store. As is well known, Dr. Hartman is the president of the Hartman Sanitarium, an institution which has a department devoted exclusively to the treatment of female diseases. lie is thus brought to see thousands of such cases every year, the most of whom return THE GREATEST OF AMERICA'S SANITARIUMS. to their homes to be treated by corre spondence. The principal remedy he relies upon in such cases is Peruna, which every womaii should have, who has any affec tion of this kind. In view of the great multitude of women suffering from some kind of female disease, and yet unable to find any cure, Dr. Hartmau, the renowned gynaecologist, has announced his wil lingness, to direct the treatment of as many cases as may make application to him during tne summer months with out charge. The treatment will be conducted by correspondence. The doctor will pre scribe all medicines, applications, hy gienic and dietary regulations neces sary to complete a cure. The medicines prescribed can be obtained at all drug stores. This offer will prevail during the summer months. Any woman can become a regular patient by sending a written statement of her age, condition of life, history and symptoms of her de rangements. All cases of female diseases, Including menstrual irregularities, displacements, ulcerations, inflammations, discharges, irritation of tho ovarie?, tumors and dropsy of 'the abdomen, should apply ct once end become registered as regular IS TO LIVE. LET PARENTS ALL BEAD, llr. Morton's Talk to His Boys. Charlotte Observer. This, relating J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture in Cleveland's last cabinet, and at the time of his death editor of The Conservative, of ) Nebraska City, Neb., was found in an exchange yesterday : When his wife died the late J. Ster ling Morton had erected over her grave a tombstone bearing this inscription : "Caroline French, wife of J. Sterling Mortoa and mother of Joy, Paul, Carl and Mark Morten. 'Why did you put the boys' names iu?" inquired a friend of him one day. "I took my boys out to the cemetery," said Mr. Morton, "and showed them their moth er's grave. 'Boys I said, 'your moth er is buried here. If one of you docs anything dishonorable or anything of which she would be r.shamed if she were alive, I will chieel your name from her tombstone." Mr. Morton was an extraordiary man remarkable for his ability, his ori ginality of thought and method. The incident above ' narrated him was characteristic, that the manner of imparting a lesson to hid boys waseo original. Than this there could havo been no more impressive warning against staining their souls with dishonor, no higher inventive to correct living. The story is one which deserves to be read m the schools and which parents everywhere might well bring to attention of their children. FILTHY TEMPLES IN INDIA.

She haJ. tried phy sician after physician, vwyXy cfter remedy, without any t?r.i,.nent im provement. Her treatment cost her husband, who was n poor nan, Irandreds of dollars. They had bsen olb'ged to deny themselves many coaiforti of life in order to get money enough f o pay the physicians. Picking up the paper one d:iy she hap pened to read an item which contained the neT.'s that Dr. Hartman would treat such cae3s fro of charge by letter. She immediately wroto the doctor, describ ing her caco, ?.r.d 'giving him all her symptoms. She soon' received a letter telling her exactly what to do and what medicino3 and appliances to get. She began the treatment (the principal rem edy being Feruna) at once, and in a few wosku was well and strong again end able to do her own work. i An Overworked Phrase. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The expression 'he took bis life in his hands' always struck me as being I very foolish," said a bright young ' gentleman, "and I have oflen wonder ed why so many person? persist in using it' when they want to speak of extraordinary dangers.

There are a steam engine and a mammoth boiler iu the basement. Whenever I enter that building, if they are run ning the engine in the basement, I take my life iu my hands. I get on the elcyator on the fifth floor ; I take my life in my haads. I go out of town ; the car may tumble over a trestle somewhere. I walK akng the street; a sign may fall on me.

These risks are ordinary, plain, old, everyday risks. The fireman who dashes int j a burn ing building to rescue a cbsld, the fe lew who grabs the bridle of a runaway horse, the hero who will plunge into the river to save some person who is about to drown these are the persons who confront what I would call extra ordinary dangers, and the worn plati tude of saying of one of these he took his life in his hands' would not fit the case because there wouid be in the act an clement of heroism which would place it much above the common p!ace." ... - -y Hartmun 'Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. i Anoihcr voman who iisv.cl lVrtraa without becking c5o of Dr. IJartmrvn's regular pa- tieuts had the following ex perience .
