It takes a man acquainted with religious conditions in the South, with the extense rivalries that exist in some neighborhoods between the two great religious forces of this section, and aware of how vital a part religious convicions play in the lives of men who are of tentimes shut off from any but a very narrow com munication with the great currents of the world, to appreciate some of the stories that are told showing vhom church feeling sometime cuts a great swath in politics and rallies for or against a candidate a consider able following. One of the best of these stories is the one told by the late Senetor Vance of North Carolina and recentiy re-told by ex-Vice President Stevenson in his book of reminiscen ces. It runs as follows; As revealing some old difficltiesof campaigning in North Carolina, an incident is related of a meeting, with refreshments, before which old Zeb Vance appeared as a candidate for Congress. The leader had asked Zeb: "'Mr. Vance, what persuasion be you of?" Promptly laying down the chicken 'eg, the chunk of salt-raising bread and cucumber pickle with which he had been abundantly supplied by one ot the dear oid friends, and assuming an appropriate oratorical pose, with his eye, intent upon his interrogator, the candidate began: My sainted grandfather was dur ing the latter years of his long and useful life a ruling elder in the Pres byterian church." The gathering brow and shaking head of the local shepherd would even to a less ob s"vvJ: .nan than the candidate have bee;i sufficient warning that he was m the wrong trail. "But," continued the speaker, ' 'my father was an equal ly devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church." The sombre aspect of the shepherd, jvith the no less significant shake of :he head, v?.s unrrd stakable mtima- J tion to our candidate that danger was in the very air. Rallying himself, however, for the last charge, but with j one remaining shot in his locker, the orator earnestly resumed: "But when I came to the years of maturity and was able, after prayer nd meditation, to read and under stand that blessed book myself, I came to the conclusion that the old Baptist church was right." "Bless God!" exclaimed the old oreacher, seizing Vance by the hand, 'Ke is all right, brethern! Oh, you'l ?et all the votes in these parts, Broth er Vance." Besides the many good stories in Mr. Stevenson's book there are pages of serious tribute and sober memory. Americus (Ga.) Times. When She's Most Beautiful. At what age is a woman the most beautiful? William Morris fixed it at forty, and, taking one consider ation with another, we have arrived at the conclusion that his decision wasa very wise one. Personally one might incline to the opinion that the age at which a woman is most dangerously attractive is thirty or thereabouts. At that stage of exis tence, whether she is married or s'ngle, and always supposing she has grace of form, a fair share of good looks, that she understands some thing of the art of dressing, that she has lived in the world and not in a provincial town or country rectory all her life, she can generally manage to outwit any girl. But we get a step further in the science of attract iveness when we come to the woman of forty. Her personal attractions are no longer of the dazzling de ception, but for all she has a charm which alone can be given by maturity that wisdom which has been bought of experience and sympathy spring ing from knowledge that teaches us tolerance.

Means Beginning of a New Era in the United States. Ihe West is now inclosed. The free land has been taken up. There is now no homestead to be had for the asking. The frontier has only a a histerical significance. The nation al domain is a thing of the past. "The public lands which now re main are chiefly and in character," says the public land commission. The opportunity for a home, which for three centuries has been open to all has finally been closed by title deeds or fraudulently appropriated by in divi iualyand corporations in collu sion with the government. The inclosure of the free public domain terminates the greatest epoch in American history. In a big perspective it may be likened to the fall of Rome, the opening up of a new route to India by Vasco da Gama, or the discovery of America by Columbus. It marks the end of the westward drift of civilization, a drift which, with occasional inter ruptions, has been going on since the beginning of history. Ever since the seventeenth century the Old World has had a vent in Ameri ca. During these centuries Europe has been relieved of discontentment by the broad, hospitable prairies of the West. America has been a hos pital for all of the world. The op portunity which it offered has re lieved the explosive elements of other lands and brought them back into harmony with life. An undertow is now setting back upon the East. Population is crowd ing in upon our cities. The ener getic wage-earner, who formerly followed the westward trail, is now entering the trade union. Here he vill find expression for the energy which formerly found an outlet in West. It is this that explains the present industrial unrest. It is this that accounts for the political fer ment. No longer can the discon tented hope to improve his fortunes in another longitude. He must re main at home, become a tenant or a wage-earner. It is this, too, that explains the coming of poveriy and distress. The alternative of a homestead in the West, which for three centuries has relieved the dispossessed of the world is now closed forever. It is this that explains the change which has come over the spirit of America during the last ten years. And as time goes on this spirit of unrest must of necessity increase. In this sense, as has been said, America is the mirror of all history. An under standing of the evolution of our own land offers a key to an understanding of the evolution of the Westesn world, from the beginning of the migration of the Greek colonist out of the Peloponnesus into the Western seas. Frederic C. Howe inScribner's Magazine. Horses Deserves a Holiday. "Got any good rigs in?" inquired a young fellow, as he enteres a livery stable on July 4th. "Lots of 'em," laconically answer ed the liveryman. "I want a good looking horse, not afraid of the fireworks, and a nice buggy, to take my girl out into the country about six miles for dinner." "I Can't give it to you." "Why not? Not all out? I thought you said there were plenty in?" "I did, but this is Fourth of July." "What's that got to do with it?'' "It's the one day in the year when all my horses have a holiday and rest in their stalls. I haven't let a horse go out on the Fourth for seven years." "That's funny. I thought the Fourth was a big day in the livery business." "It used to be. I tried to work it up; get all the business I could; sent some of the horses two or three times." "What happened?" "Nothing much. I'mheretomake money. I couldn't afford it. Every year, be as careful as I could, bug gies came back smashed to pieces cr a good horse was ruined and had to be killed. Sometimes both. One buggy is worth as much as all the Fourth of July business. When a kid throws a firecracker under a hbrse there is liable to be something doing if the best driver is handling an old skate that you wouldn't think would run for an earthquake. Some others may think I'm foolish, but I'm satisfied and ahead of the game by giving the horses holiday." "I guess you're right." admitted the young gallant. "I'll have to try somebody else, who don't fiigure as you do." Rural Life. LITTLE MIRIAM. Infant Daughter of Mr. and "rs. R. r Dunn Passes Away. Little Miriam is gone, and in her wake she has left many bleeding hearts and sorrowing loved ones Her span of life was short, but oh! so sweet. She wa3 the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Dunn and was not quite twelve months old, and yet that sweet little tongue had learned to prattle "Mama and Papa" ii her own individual way. ; She was the Town's baby, for near Jy every one knew and loved her. S'.e had a bright smile and a cute little wave of the hands for every one. She was loved and petted by so many that she did not know what fear was. Her mind was unusually developed and her little form was perfect. She had never been sick and did not know what suffering and pain was, until Friday, May the twentieth, and from that time until her lit)e spirit was wafted safely into the reat be yond, she fought her first and last battle bravely, but the odds were againsc her from the beginning, and despite the faithful and loving efforts of mother, father, nurse, ar.d physicians, who never left her bed side, the Dread Messenger's call could not be staid. All that mortal hands could do for her was done, but in vain, and so at five thirty Monday morning, May the thirtieth, just as a new day was dawming over the earth, she fell asleep, only to awake, "safe in the arms of Jesus," in a new world. She passed over the river so quietly that mother and father and doctor who were holding her little hands could hardly tell the exact moment when the end came, she just stopped breathing, without a sigh or a struggle, and it was all over. WTien she was arranged on her little bed surrounded by a profusion of the most beautiful flowers, that seemed to spring up from every where, she looked like a beautiful wax doll, so quiet, so peaceful. She was laid away in Elmwood Cemetery with the beautiful services of the Episcopal Church. The services were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Phelps assisted by the Rev. Mr. Britt, pastor of the Baptist Church. There is little consolation that we can offer to those many loved ones she has left behind. Sometimesome where we may understand but not now. In a little while we too shall "join the innumerable caravan, that moves to that mysterious realm" and so it behooves us to bear our burdens bravely and to not unjustly blame a loving Providence. The pall bearers were: Dr. C. Highsmith, D. B. Zollicoffer, Jr., Cecil Matthews, Frank Shaw, The honorary pall bearers were: C. E. McGwigan, W. T. Clement, E. L. Whitehesd, Geo. Green, J. E. Bowers, P. W. Wilkinson, S. Pierson, H. S. Harrison, Geo. T. Andrews, Ivey Watson, Frank Branch and Dr. A. S. Harrison. Among those who were here Tues day to attend the burial of Little Miriam Dunn were: Mrs R. O. Sadler, of Baltimore, Miss Bessie Gold and Mrs. Spicer, of Wilson; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. C. Green, of Weldon; Hon. Claude Kitchin and daughter, Miss Anna, Misses Minnie K. and Annie Dunn, Mr. and Mrs. . Harper Alex ander, Messrs. Balfour, Sam, A., Albion, Ashby, and Charlie Dunn, A. P. Kitchin, J. E. Bowers, of Scotland Neck. Enfield Progress. Dreams That Came True. Mr. Andrew Lang has recorded two true dreams stories exactly like that of forgotten ledger entry. In one a lady, having lost an important kev while walking in a weed near her house in Ireland, dreamed that she saw it lying at the root of a cer tain tree. Next day she found it there. She supposed her eye must have seen it after it dropped, though her conscious mind had not instantly noted it. Just the same was the theory of a barrister who went out late at night to post his letters and upon undressing misfei a check for a laree amount received during the day. He dreamed he saw it curled round an area railing not far from his door, woke up, dressed, went out and found it exactly as he had dreamed. The mind registers at times what it does not instantly report London Chronicle. CASTOR I A Por Infants and Children. The Kind Yoa Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of PASSING GF TSE COWBOY. Where Science Steps in Romance In evitably Takes ISs Departure. Science is like poverty. When it st3ps in, romance pops out, though there are a lot of writers trying to do the impossible and make us glow, symbolically speaking, over the love of the germ for the microbe or the thrilling adventures of the professor seeking the buttermilk fountain of eternal youth. Here we have been wailing over the departure of the cowboy, and. while deep sighs shook cur sturdy frames, decrying the civilization which takes so much of the pic- turesques out of life. And all the time it was plain matter-of-fact, ex- ceedirgty materialistic science that was on the job. The cowboy has been one of the big pictorial figures in American life. He has been the one who has brought the pioneer spirit, untrammeled, ro mantic, and colorful, into the drab days of the present. He has made "chaps" as symbolical as the coon- kin cap and he will go down to his tory pedestal with the trapper. Remington has pictured him; Wis- ter has set him, alive and kicking and loveable, in the preservative amber of fiction; and, best of all, Buffalo Bill and all his followers in buckskin and flowing hair have brought him right to our doors in all his dash and deviltry and boyishness. So we can not lose him altogether, for which we should be accordingly grateful. But it isn't the match of civiliza tion, the onrush of people, the swing ing of population from cne coast to the other that hss conspired to wipe him from the national map, except in directly. It has come about be-cau-e science has whispered in the ranch er's ear and he has listened and act ed. The old-time lorg-hoi ned Texas steer was in the picture with the cow boy. He lent his savagery to the spirit of the composition; he stampe ded to give vigor; his wid-.prertd horns furnished curves of beauty and tested the skill of the lassoit. But there was too much bravurra about him and too little beef. He pleased the eye, but he didn't fill the stomach. He was an expensive luxury. So s-i -ence was called in and it has bred a new animal; squat, fat, short of horn, placid, almost inert. With it hts gone the life and hues of cowboy life. No longer do we hear of mad insane rushes, of the frenzy of the stam pede, of the dramatic and dare-devil round-ups, and of the cowboys riding their circles about the herds and sing ing lullabies to them. The rew band of cattle is docile and bouvine. It is ruminant rather than riotous Romance has vanished. There is little need for the cowboy and he will vanish, too. Cleveland Leader. Nut Grass. The only way to kill nut grass is not to let it show a leaf above the ground. This means constant clean ing off, for it will be up next day, but if constantly prevented from making green leaves the roots will die. Nut grass spreads more from seed than from the roots, and being neglected late in the season, it fills the soil with seed, and nothing but constant vigilance will eradicte it. I have just made a garden here from a piece of lond that is full of it. and I am going to do just what I advise; clean up every shoot every day. Nothing short of this will answer. Geese ptnned on the spots will keep it down, it ir, said, but I have never tried them. W. F. Massey. CATARRH Quickly Cured by a Pleasant Germ IUHir.g Antiseptic.
