Stale Superintendent Car rington, of the public schcols of Missouri, makes the following observa tion about the help of mothers: "Mothers seldom realize what irJluence they exert on the discipline of the school by words dropped here and there in the presence of their children. Obedient, faithful, trustful children in school but reflect the home relations. On the other hand, indifference, in dolence and sometimes insolence, on the part of a pupil may be traced to weaic discipline or wrong teaching at home. Happy the school and for tunate the children when home and school influences Hupplemeni, each other in tiling correct habits of trustful and hopeful relations." I t t X Time has been when a man did not particularly expect an honored seat because he was a farmer ; and in some places and amongst certain classes The Dignity of the FiiriEer. We say "profession of the farmer," for wo believe that his high and noble calling entitles him to a distinction among the professions. Never before, perhaps, has the farmer's influence aud importance been so well under stood. The Charlotte Observer in an edito.ial article gives this striking paragraph : "It will not do to decry the men who come from the soil. All of us came from it directly or at most through a few generations not far removed. It is trite to say that the towns and cities must, if they exiot, be recruited f .om it constantly, and equally trite and true that very much of the best brain acd energy of our cities, in industrial pursuit, commerce and the professions is recruited immediately from it." tut It is a common thing to hear people say that the world is in too great a rush that there is too strenuous chase after the dollar. This is especially true of those the crowded Keeping Busy. about (he fact that men generally are on the run, and in most cases it is after ;coney. While there is danger m too groat hurry and a madness in stren&ousuess that sometimes needs check, it would se?m Lettp.r as it is that: fcr the world to lapse into a stats of idleness and do-nolhingism. To be pr;iii,:;bly and weti employed is one of the chief blessings of life, and to hurry too fast is better than not moviug at all. Keeping busy in a fairly conservative way is the ideal condition of life. There never has been a truer saying than that "an idle brcia is the devil's work shop." The loiterer and lounger who does so because he has nothing better to do, is in great danger of falling into habits that will prove hurttul and sometimes ruinous. Keeping busy is the safest waj- tospsud one's time. t i t x Last Saturday the cotton growers of Wake county held an interesting meeting in Raleigh. They decided to hold cotton for eleven cents under The Keynote From Kaleivh. vailing opinion in the meeting that by concert of action the farmers can realize eleven cents f jr their cotton and some expressed the belief that the price will go as high as twelve or fifteen cents. This is the keynote for the farmers of Noith Carolina to follow. If every cotton growing county in the State will do as Wake has done it will not be hard to realiza the eood profit on the cotton crop to which farmers are entitled, especially if a cor responding effort is made .throughout the South. Senator Simmons was in the meeting in Raleigh Saturday and delivered a pleasing and en couraging address. Following the closing paragraph : "If the cotton farmers of the South will bank their moasy by organizing banks primarily interested in them and owing a first duty to them, nobody will be injured, the community will be helped, and they will be able to se cure the means to build warehouses, to store their cotton, and carry on their fiht, to build factories, by which the cotton farmer will bacoma the manufacturer of his own product, making twice as much in manufactur ing it as in growing it. What will the end be? It will be this : The South will eventually manufacture all its cotton, and when it does it will become the richest country in the world, the richest that has ever been or will ever be in the world. I have faith m the righloasness ol your; canse. I have faith in your conservatism. I had the pleasure recently of hearing your president, Mr- Jordan. I listened to him closely. I was de lighted with Lis calmness and h:s fairness and conservatism. I have an abiding confidence that you seek nothing except what is right, that you are moved by no prejudice or class hostility, and that in the end you will win a great victory, not only for yourselves, but for the whole South. So believing, I am in sympathy with your movement, and I pledge you my co operation and support and bid you God sp3ed." LIKE FINDING MONEY.

Galls Himself the Bitter One in Re membrance of the Desperate Pov erty and Struggles of His Youthful Days! At a revolutionary meeting in St. Petersburg on the Saturday night be fore the massacre sat one who, per haps more than any other there, had the interests of the people at heart, for he is ob.e of themselves, and their sufferings have been his. But he is no orator, and therefore remained silent as far as formal speechmaking went although he was ready and eager with suggestion and help. To-day he is a prisoner in the fortress of Peter and Paul, the horrors of whose dungeons Mrs. Voynich has described with such terrible realism in her last novel a prisoner for the heinous crime of hav ing formed one of a deputation of lit erary and scientific men who waited on M. Witte to urge the expediency of the tsar's appearing to the strikers on January 22. This man, who, if he cattr not speak, can at least write to some purpose, is Alexei Maximovitch Pyesh koff, better known to his cour-trymen as Maxim Gorky, or Maximus the Bit ter, as he calls himself, in sardonic allusion to the unkind fortune that has been his from boyhood. His writings first became known, in Fngland through the medium of translation some three years ago, when his most important novel, "Fprna Gordyeff," ap peared in an English dress. Gorky's knowledge of the outcast and destitute was gained at first hand, for there is no depth of social misery which he has not shared. Tho son of , an upholsterer in Nijui Novgorod, he was left an orphan at a very early age, and was apprenticed to a shoe maker. From this employment he ran away, and his occupations thereafter were legion. By turns he worked as draughtsman, maker of ikons, cook's boy on board a Volga steamer, gar dener's boy, and journeyman baker, apple peddler, dock laborer, sawyer, porter, railway watchman, and beer, seller. From his 15th year he had been consumed by the desire for knowledge, and having at least the keys of education in hitf hands he had become a voracious roader. He then obtained better employment as assist ant secretary to a councillor at law, but ouce mote be took the road, for the vagabond in him is irrepressible. At Tiflis he served in a railway work- muz 4i MAXIM GOEKY. shop, and there his vocation declared itself, and a Tiflis journal harl the honor of publishing his first story. His revolutionary principles, inevitable to such a character, could not escape the notice of the police, and w-ith his rising fame came a series of arrests. Before 1901 he had been in prison eight times, and from prison he made arrange ments for the American publication of "Foma Gordyffeff." Like his play, Gorky's novels -and short stories photograph rather than paint the harsh details of his wander ings. Any idealization he may achieve is, spiritual rather than material. In the bake house in "Twenty-six Men" he makes the reader actually feel the squalor and inhumanity of the abomin able den where the teller of the tale and five-and-twenty other "living ma chines in a damp underground cellar, from morning till night kneaded dough and rolled it into kringels." These bakers were little removed from the condition of the "Boziaks," the Rus sian outcasts, and indeed the food flung to them by their master was the same tainted offal as that consumed by the Russian casuals. It seemed that such" a life could have no ray of joy, but it came to them in devotion to a little maidservant, Tanya, who used to peep into the bake house and cry: "Little prisoners, have you any kringels for me?" But there came to the shop a new hand, a swaggering soldier, and the bakers lost their ideal. The dramatic effect is extraordinary the conflict between the girl and the powers of darkness.' as reflected in the minds of her chivalrous admirers, may be said to effect something fresh in fiction. , Even amid all the hopeless ness there is hope, for the sordidness of the bakers' existence has not crushed out every remnant of finer feeling.- It may be, however, that here and in other writings Gorky reads his j own curiously negative idealism ,lnto the character of his comrades, in mis fortune. Widower's Susceptibility. . A widower is a tame ; animal and stands without tying. No woman can scare him. He is overconfident, and that is his great weakness. He has been through it all and is not to be caught a second time. He feels im- j pervious to the approaches of worn- j an in any form or guise. Tne widow i finds him really a rather knotty prom-.

As some one has said the department of the interior is by far the most impor tant to the average individual, that is his own particular department. It is with the utmost astonishment that the uninitiated view the prepara tions for a single day in one of our great hostleriesi - During a recent trip to New York we1 were given the opportunity of penetrat ing into the heart of one of the largest hotels. The time for our personally conducted tour was chosen at about ten p. m., as then the rush for the day was over and exeited waiters were not run ning over us at every corner. Descending a'fiight of marble stairs we came first to a bulletin board evi- EVERYTHING IS LABELED. dently for the purpose of answering sea sonable inquiries, for in large letters was written: " "No more blackberries," "cantaloupe, 75 cents," and various other timely sug gestions. The natty little guide showed us? first the butter man. at least that seemed to be his entire business. He sat before a large shallow trough through which ran iced water. In this tray floated about little pats of butter, cut ready for serving. The waiters are supposed to fill their own orders, moving from one place to another, and collecting what they wish. There seems to be a somewhat compli cated check system attended-to by an official seated just inside the door. Everywhere in the great kitchen are signs, written in large black letters so that no one would have the least diffi culty in attending to his needs. Steaks and chops are broiled over a broad charcoal fire, and fowls hang on the spit. In a broad shallow table stand mashed potatoes and such ready-prepared vege tables as standing will not spoil. Under and around these kettles runs hot water, keeping them at a steaming heat. Asparagus, cauliflower and artichokes occupy a distinct position, perhaps since they are 'delicate vegetables they need especial attention. The ovens for the roasts look like bot tomless pits. There are great iron shelves with sliding doors, where the dishes are kept hot for the serving time. One large room is used entirely for the bakery, and here is a full force working day and night. Such luscious looking pies and puffs stand steaming on the shelves that your mouth fairly waters. A room about ten feet by 12 lined with shelves and festooned with frost-covered THE GUIDE. pipes hblds the supply of meat for the next day; one day only, and it looks enough for a city full. Another pooling room is given to the vegetables, while still another holds the butter and fancy cheese. There are three compartments for wine. One of a temperature above the freezing point is for beer and mineral waters; the next, at about 30 degrees, is for champagne, and other white wines, while the last, with a still lower tem terature. is for the finest old vintage stock. Clarets and the other red wines are kept in a large, low cellar, in all about a half a million dollars' worth of wine. There are 300 employes, in the kitch en, and of these 50 are head cooks, a small army just to prepare the dishes shown forth on the daily menu, and yet there is no cry so often heard as: "What shall we get to eat?"

Almost everybody who reads the news papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roct, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It is the great medi cal triumph of the nine teenth century; dis covered after years of scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the err.i nent kidney and blad der specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou bles and Bright 's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney troiibleh. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is not rec ommended for everything but if you have kid ney, liver or bladder trouble it vill be found just the remedy you need.
