One of New York's leading actors has an elegant country Lome out in Long; Island, and he has spent a great deal of money in fitting it up with costly decorations and exquisito finish ings.

A few days ago an old friend of the good old road days learned how well uq waa prospering and went cut to call on him.

The severity of the tyrannical for est laws intrcduced by the Norman kings, at a time when Englishmen were everywhere trained in the art of shooting with the long-bow, oc casioned a great number of outlaws. These fied to the woods for shelter and, forming into troops, endeavor ed by their numbers to protect them selves. Among these, Robin Hood, whose chief residence was in Shire wood Forest, Nottinghamshire, was affirmed to be "of all theeves the prince and most gentil thefe." Born at Locksley, his real name was Robert Fitzooth. Having out run his fortune and being outlawed, hi lived as a free-hontpr in Rama- dale, Sherwood, andPlompton Park.

The striking thing about ths output, however, i not that so many persons who have never written poetry should be exper imenting with ir, but that nine-tenths of them should ba so melancholy. The great majority of poems submitted for pu.ieaiiou reflect a spirit cf gentle ! gloom. j 'What are the wild waves saying?" j inquire the poets with one accord. I .n:I why do they say it? "Why should a cense cf wo 3 weigh us down? Why are the autumn winds so melancholy? Why is anything, anyhow? A careful reading of several hun dred poems cf this type does not leave the impression that the writers are such a gloomy lot as they might rppcar. One comes to believe that most c them avy normally cheerful, but that somehow they have been le:i ro suppoeo that sadness ielongs tc roe try. p'eces have had him for their hero, Such a play has been written for the May Fete at the State Normal Col 'e by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dick Do::g!c, of Greensboro. Mrs. Douglas is an honored alumna of the college and a member of the Adelphian' Literary Society, while her husband is an honorary member of the Cornelian Literary Society. Robin's personal courage, his skill in archery, his fidelity to his com rades, and his humanity rendered him a universal favorite and bestow ed upon him the dignity of an earl. On his tombstone near Kirkley's nunnery, where his treacherous sis ter bled him to death in his old age, is inscribed this epitaph: j "Here underneath this little stone j Lies Robert, Earl of Huntingdon. No archer were as he so good, And people called him Robin Hood. Such outlaws as he and his men Will England nsver see again."

The discipline over the pupils in the school is in many cases the bulk of the moral influence over the child. This is not as it should be, but it is a fact, nevertheless, in many instances. Therefore this discipline should be for the very best, exerted with the sole idea of the benefit of the child and maintained inviolate. A child who has been attending school in another state recently 'en tered one of the Charlotte city schools, and one night this week re tailed to his parents an incident which occurred in the ciool.roomj that day, which calls for the decisive J treatment at the hands of the pa rents of the lad or at the hands of the authorities of the school.

Mr. Travis, it ie understood, will be in the race. Mr. A. J. Maxwell, clerk to the commission, is being urged to run for commissioner, but he has not said whether he will. Mr. McNeil is the oldest member in point of service on the commis sion.

There is every indication that for mer President Roosevelt intends to avoid the tariil issue. In a recent statement from -Mr. Roosevelt's headquarters in New York it was dec'ared he would "rest his case with the people on the issues he raised in his Columbu3 speech," where he ignored the tarilT com pletely.

"I do not care if I have ten," s3id the lad. Very properly the teacher added ten demerits to the list already earned, with the result that a special report was made to his parents m the afternoon. The information at hand does not include the ultimate outcome, but that a child should feel free to use such impudence and impertinence to his teacher indicates an error in the situation, either irt the lad, or in the teacher, or school system, or both. A pupil should feel that to be im pertinent to the teacher is the height of ill-breeding, to say nothing of in- Salt thrown cn a coal fire when j cur ring the displeasure of the teach broiling steak will prevent blazing er, the principal of the school, the people learn that only through this humus this decaying vegetable matter can sny field be enriched without expense to the owner?

Macon, the seat cf the Confederate Reunion to be held May 7 9 was the object of a feigned attack during the Civil War, which few people, oven pos sessed of a good history, know any thing about. Every old Maconian however remembers distinctly the feint by Gen. Kilpatrick's cavalry on Macon and the bloody battle which I ensued near Macon as the result of I this mock attack. "It was during the March to the Sea, by Sherman," said an old Con federate in speaking to me of it re cently. "You will remember if you are familiar with Cracker histoiy. that this march.began on Nov. 15, after Sherman, like Nero, had watched the conflagration of Atlan ta by his own orders. That was a monument to his cruelty, but at this march the two divergent lines of the Union troops were to threaten Ma con and Augusta and to come to gether again at Miiledgville, contin uing the line of march from this point on to the coast. The cavalry of General Kilpatrick supported by Ostenhau's corps was to make this feint qv feign cn Macon. selection of medicine for children.
