Whitehead & Co. jlD I TOFF'S JEISURE JioUIS, OBSERVATIONS OF The people all over North Carolina will remember how Senator S. M. Beaaley left the State Legislature in February, 1905, ana went to his home Jailed for Abducting the Boy. the morning and how he started home in a falling snow in the afternoon but never reached It. Swamps and streams were hnnted and dragged for him, but it was all a futile effort, and the poor griel-siricken parents had to give up in despair and almost abandon all hope of ever finding their lost boy. His disappearance was a great mystery, and the first ray of hope has just come through news from Elizabeth City that on September fith Joshua Harrison, one ot the oldest men in Currituck county, had been arrested at Currituck Court House charged as an accomplice in the abduction of little Kenneth Beasley more than a year and a half ago. It will be hope! by thousands of people all over North Carolina that this arrest will speedily lead to the recovery of the lost child and that be will eoon be restored to his parents and his home again. tut That is pleasing news that has gone out from the A..& M. College at Raleigh that haz'.ng will -not be tolerated there any more. While we are Hazing Condemned. ifying to note that it will cease altogether. It has been given out that the Soph more class has unanimously resolved to abolish the hazing of Fresh men and such like outrages and indignities sometimes practiced upon new students at college. It is entirely correct for every institution to pass stringent and rigid regulations against the practice and send back: any and all students who may be guilty of it. It is a shame and an outrage to treat a young and timid boy as is sometimes done by the reckless and, in some cases, the unprincipled fellows who have little care and make little reckon ing of other people's feeling3. It is an ugly, barbarous practice, and should be discouraged and completely stamped out at all the institution?. For years many persons who formerly tolerated it and somewhat excused it, ha --iri -rinlnf H in unmeasured terms, and the A. and M. College at Raleigh will be more popular than ever when It is well known that there can be no hazing amongst its students. mi Neither Will Carlton nor any other man has ever written truer worJs than the following : 'Boys flying birds, Words Do Sot Die. But you can't do this when you're flying words ; Thoughts unexpressed olten fall back dead, ! But God himself can't take them back when once they're Bald." So Mr. Bryan could have thought over the question of government owner ship of railroads, and perchance the simple thinking may not have affected the people in their great love and admiration for him ; but in his great speech in New York two weeks ago he gave ctterante to his thoughts in words that will not soon die. We are not saying anything about the soundness or unsoundness of his view and expressions on the subject, but we are observing how unwise it was to say such a thing then If he wished to maintain his hold upon the people, lor the people do not think as he does on that subject. Just a few sentenoes in a public speech have chang the attitude of many people towards Mr. Bryan, and the episode will make it hard for the Democratic party to nominate and elect him for President in 1908. Xttt J. B. Alexander writing in the Charlotte Observer about "Sight of the -Long Ago," tells about some things which seem strange to the reader of to-day. Speaking of what he saw In Yorktown Things are More Modern n im tfae writer gpeaki of neong housaj made of brick that came from England, and makes the following observa tion about Latin inscriptions and a knowledge of Latin : "I noticed that all the tombstones or slabs in the old cemetery had their inscriptions In Latin. Suppose that was the fashion a hundred and fifty years ago. I feel sure that we had much finer Latin scholars then than we have now. I remember to have seen Dr. Davis Caldwell's portrait in Greensboro in the year 1852, showing him with one hand resting upon Galen's works, which was written in Latin. Eyeryone bad to study medicine in Latin. Not one in a dozen doctors of the pres ent day can read his diploma without his spectacles and without having a dictionary near at hand. Fifty years ago a man was not considered profi cient in classified literature or among the very learned unless he was well versed in both Latin an8 Greek. Not so now. It he can tell the principal features of the most fashionable novels, he can para in what is called polite society. But we have some fine eoholars, even in this utilitarian age. I see it discussed now whether we will have compulsory education or not. Has the time come when the State will take the place of the parents? We will see." There is nothing so pleasant as that bright, cheerful, at-peace-with-t he world feeling when you sit down to your breakfast. There id nothing so conducive to good work and good re sults.

The Northumberland islands belong to Queensland, and lie off the east. Cen tral coast of the Pacific, between the towns of Rockhampton and Mackay. One of the smallest islands in the Duke group of this archipelago is Iron island. The whole island is iron ore, except a strip from 60 to 120 feet, wide on the west and a sand flat across its northern end. The island is 1,320 feet in length and 528 feet in great est width, its highest point being 120 feet above high-water mafk. It is estimated by the geological sur vey that the amount of ore above high-water mark is 1;500,000 tons, and that the additional ore available be tween high and low tide (23 feet) amounts to 750,000 tons, making a total of 2,250,000 tons of available ore. The rock on the western side of the island la greenish, highly altered trachyte, in which there has been great development of east arid west cross quartz vein3, probably formed before the iron was introduced into the surrounding region. Ori the south side of the island are three outcrops of pure white statuary marble, from 10 to 20 feet across and 20 to 60 feet in length. It is believed by some Queensland geologists that the ore metasomat ically replaced limestone and slate, and that the formation of ore may still be going on, inasmuch as the ridge top supports figs and scrub vege tation, showing that spring water is still reaching the surface. The ore consists chiefly of cryptocrystalline magnetite, with massive hematite, and has scarcely a trace of impurity. It3 specific gravity is 4.5 to 4.6. Blocks of ore up to ten feet in diam eter are piled up around the base of the island. No work has yet been done, but there will be no difficulty" in mining down to tide level. To work below that level a wall of ore will have to be left to prevent the entrance of the sea water. GHOSTS OF ABBOTSFORD. Attempts to Create Spooks at Sir Wal ter Scott's Home Proved Failures. The attempt at making "a ghost of Abbotsford" will probably end wih the lady to whom the name was ap plied, says the London Academy. This lady, the widow of Rev. John Car michael, has just died at Edinburgh at the venerable age of 83. When a child she went as a visitor to Abbots ford, and, losing her way on one occa sion, opened the dining-room door noiselessly. It happened that Sir Walter and his guests were discussing the question of the possibility of tha appearance of a departed spirit, and the mysterious opening of the door at the moment won for the little girl the name of "the ghost of Abbots ford." This name she retained through life. Another attempt at creating a ghost at Abbotsford was doomed to failure Opposite to the entrance to the library there is an arched doorway leading to other rooms. It was discovered that by an arrangement of lights the shadow of a person under the arch could be thrown on tae opposite door with weird effect. But Sir Walter, when called upon to witness the ex periment, did not express approval of it, for a reason that even Lockhart could not guess. Scott's interest in ghosts, however, la notorious, and he liked telling ghost stories to his visitors. The Northern Man In Texas. As the northerner listens -and looks In Texas all the illusions he brought with him are dispelled. Instead of the embattled hip pocket there Is a tele phone consultation with one's at torney. Instead of a shooting affray there is a lawsuit. In lieu of the red shirt there is boiled and bosomed linen and the bandana is replaced by a col lar from Troy. Where one expected to find leather-trousered cowboys there are store-clothed hackmen, Including, at San Antonio, the second son of a British nobleman who went broke and is now earning his living by driving visitors about the city. As for law and order in Texas, a man with a concealed six-shooter in New York is safer from arrest than the man with a concealed toy pistol in Texas. Sunset Magazine. Cost of Living. The cost of living in this country for the eight years to July 1, 1905, accord ing to Dun's Index Number, has risen' 35.7 per cent.; that is, wholesale prices representing, in due relation to per capita consumption, the cost of bread stuffs, meats, dairy and garden prod ucts, and other food; clothing, metals and miscellaneous products like lum ber, glass, paints and drugs have risen since 1897 from 72.455 to 98.312. The prices of many hundred commodities, embracing practically all the neces saries of life, are included In this reckoning. N. Y. Times. Never Had the Chance.

There &re hundreds of thousands of women in America suffering from Pelvic Diseases, endangering their Jives by neglecting treatment If they will write to me I will give them the benefit of my extensive experience in treating this class of ailments. S. B. Hartman, M. D. IN view of the great multitude of women suffering from some form of female disease and yet nnable to find any cure, Dr. Hartman, the renowned gynecologist,has announced his willing ness to direct the treatment of as many cases as may make application to him during the summer months, without charge. Miss Mary Mayger, 200 Delhi street, Philadelphia, Pa., writes: "Before taking your medicine I was completely run down. Headache and Backache. "My back and head ached all the time and I was so nervous that it was impos sible for me to attempt any work. 'After using two bottles of Peruna there was a wonderful change and I am now a well woman. Gratitude. "I cannot express my gratitude suf ficiently and Hfam recommending it to all my friends." Dr. Hartman's treatment will bo con ducted by correspondence. The medicines prescribed can bo ob tained at all drug stores. Complete Treatment. The Doctor will prescribe all medi cines, applications, hygienic and diet ary regulations necessary to effect com plete relief. Furthermore, all correspondence will tt held strictly confidential. BILLY KEPT THE LID ON. But the Bosom of His Trousers Suf fered for His Truly He roic Act. Miss Kathryn Finney is not only an accomplished and efficient schoolmarm of West Grove, teaching the young idea at-Cedar Bluff how to shoot jacK rabbits, pigeons and other brilliant flashes of silvery fowl on golden wing, but, what is a more rare virtue, says the Mount Morris (la.) Index, she Is just as willing and efficient in the kitchen, where she assists her good but frail and slender mother with the housework in all her spare moments. The other day, like a duti ful daughter, she made a glorious batch of bread, and as she is an en ergetic young woman, the dough must have taken after her in fact, it rose until it covered the table, and for fear it would run her out of the house, Miss Finney hastily placed it In the oven. But alas, like the woes of Tantalus, who died of thirst amid a sea of waves, this only made mat ters worse. For that yeasty bread continued to rise, while Miss Kitty held up her hands in despair. But not so Billy, the noble Billy. Miss Kitty's father, who, fearing the top of the stove would fly through the celling, in a moment of forgetfulness sat down on it. Now, don't talk of Hannibal looking down on the plains of Italy, or Pompei dividing the world with Caesar. Here was far greater heroism. And lest the profane might laugh at the patch in Billy's trousers, I hasten to assure the public that the woes of a truthful correspondent are beyond the power of language to express. Irving's Effects. Referring to the recent sale of Irving's effects, the London Mail says: 'The proceedings were altogether er ratic. Mediocre drawings sold for pounds instead of shillings, excellent paintings for shillings instead of pounds. The relic was prized more highly than the work of art." Sar gent's portrait of Ellen Terry sold for Dne-third of what Irving had been of fered for it. Good Enough. Jaygreen I'd like to get a better job for my son. Kaybrown What's he doing now?

Two missionaries from Afghanistan j have arrived in Liverpool. Their in tention Is to convert England to Islam. It's unsafe to bnry the dead past better cremate it. Entire System Affected. Mrs. James Golloher, Norwood, On tario, Can., writes : "I was suffering from systemic ca tarrh for about two years. "In damp weather I was unable to do my work, as my back and sides would ache, and I thought if I did not soon find a cure I could not live long. "I saw where Peruna had cured hun dreds who had suffered as I was suffer ing. I decided to try it. "After taking the first bottle, I felt a big change. Completely Cured. "I have taken five bottles and I am completely cured. "I thank Dr. Hartman for his kind advice to me." Dr. Hartman's offer will hold good during the entire summer months. Any woman can become a regular patient by sending a written statement of her age, condition tt life, symptoms of her derangements, and previous treatment. Dr. Hartman's Advice. Mrs. Lizzie Sharpe, 203 Friendship street, Providence, R. 1., writes: "Some time ago I wrote you, asking advice in regard to my health, describ ing my symptoms. "Following your advice and taking your medicine for only five weeks, I am thankful to say I am a well woman. TO THE SPELL OF DRESS. Tribute Paid by Famous Writers and Philosophers to Fashion. Jane Austen wrote to her sister ii i 1814: "I have determined to trim my lilac sarsenet with black satin ribbon, just as my China crape is, sixpenny j width at the bottom, threepenny or: fourpenny at top. Ribbon trimmings are all the fashion at Bath. With this addition it will be a very useful gown, happy to go anywhere." Emerson quotes, "with admiring sub- 1 mission," the experience of the lady who declared that "the sense of being I perfectly well-dressed gives a feeling or inward tranquility wnicn religion Is powerless to bestow." So the clever woman and the philos opher, says Youth's Companion, pay their tribute to the spell of dress. Any woman who has qualms of con science at the amount of time and thought she must give to her clothes may gather cheer from the Innocent pleasure so genuine a nature as Miss Austen's found in the simple task of making a gown "happy to go any where." The woman who has com passed the art of making that kind of a gown has done herself a large serv ice and the world no small one. We j should have "admired" to see Miss Austen attired in the lilac sarsenet with the black satin ribbon. We may be sure that not only was the gown happy to go anywhere, but that the wearer was happy in It, and that the company was happy to have her. I A gentle word, a charitable act, a' difficult sacrifice are each more easy in ' a well-fitting and becoming dress. Per haps it may be a sign of our servitude to earth that this should be so; but while we live here we are bound to look facts in the face, and cherish the Ideal of the "happy" gown.

As is well known, Dr. Hartman is th President of the Hartman Sanitarium an institution which has a department devoted U tho trci. .icnt o. ie.-nak dl eases. He is thus brought to see a great man; of such cases every year, the most o ' whom return to their homes to com pletc their treatment by correspond ence.
