The curtain has falleu on a stirring
scene In a tragedy in real life in which
figures the great Italian operatic com
poser. Ulucoaio I'ucclui. The curious
thing about the alTair is the parallel
which may l>e drawn between certain
circumstances in the real tragedy and
the fictitious one which forms the
theme of the composer's famous mas
terpiece. "Madama Butterfly." In the
latter the little heroine, Cho-Cbo-San of
the mikado's empire, commits suicide
when she learns of the perfidy of her
English husband. The story Is some
what turned around in the tragedy in
which the composer
find his wife figure.
In this drama the
heroine was ? little

worked on Fuc

GREAT GENERAL'S NAMESAKE
Lieutenant Ulysses S Grant 3d and
His Good Record.
The country Is proud of tlie fact tlint
Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant 3d, one
of the namesakes of the great hero of
the civil war. Is making a record so
worthy of the family name. Lieuten
ant Grant, who Is a son of Major Gen
eral Frederick 1> Grant and grandson
of the General Grant of civil war
fame, was recently appointed to tho
responsible post of superintendent of
the stale, war and navy departments
building. The order was Issued by

partment with tho approval of Secre
tary Knox and Secretary Meyer, who

And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;

Tariff Notes.
The country now knows once more
what is meant by revising the tariff
by its "friends."
? ? ?
The current price of structural
steel fixed by the Trust Is $32 a
ton. At this rate structural steel
from Belgium and Germany valued
at $20 a ton may still occasionally
dribble through the custom house
under the duty of $10 a ton. If
the trust should again screw up its
price still more could come in to
redress the balance In favor of Amer
, lean consumers. For this reason
the Taft-Aldrlch-Payne tariff favors
the Trust with a prohibitive duty a
1 mounting to $lti a ton on beams,
channels, Joists and all other forms
of punched structural steel. Such is
the redemption of the solemn pledges
of the Republicans to so revise the
tariff as to protect American consum
ers from the spoliations of the
predatory Trusts.

Followed by two big, formidable-look

her look: "Only a rabbit!" Some
thing about the size of a rabbit is
what President Taft has brought
down after all his preparations for

beasts roaming at large in the vast
field of American industries and
gorging themselves with the Immense

Insidious Foe of Prohibition.
As ,a hot weather subject "near
beer" takes the lead. Almost ev
ery news paper that comes to hand
contains some reference to it. Our
opinion of the business is that it
is the biggest fraud and the greatest
fake and the most transparent bluff
that ever showed itself in North Caro
lina. Near beer is the most insidi
ous foe that prohibition has today.
Under its name whiskey and beer
are sold, else why will men, numbers
of them in the same town, pay ex
tremely high license to handle the
slop? Why do they take out fed
eral license if they are not selling
intoxicants on the sly? It is as
plain as nose on a face. There is
no living for any man in the sale
of such stuff as near beer; the mon
ey comes from real beer and whis
key. Now's the time for officials
sworn to do their duty to keep their
eyes wide open and put some of the
near beer venders on the chain
gang, along with other varieties of
blind tigers. By hook or crook the
legislature enacted a law which
reads that the sheriff "shall" issue
liecnse to such dealers. Heretofore
the county commissioners granted or
refused license of all kinds. There
is a law also that says that the sher
iff shall raid blockade stills and
break illicit trafic, and if it was
obeyed with the same alacrity that
the other one is, there would be* less
blockading in the state. Why don't
all the sheriffs do their duty as
the sheriff of Cumberland does, who
has this week raided his twenty
fourth still? The same law applies
as much to all the other counties as
it does to Cumberland.?Lexington

Care of the Teeth.
Mother* should f4el that they owe
It to their children to look after
their teeth. If they are not coming
in straight they should have a den
tist's care while the child is young.
The jaws tan thtn be formed so
that the teeth will come as they
should. It has been found that if
the jaws are not shaped right that
the development of the bones of.
the rest of the skull will not tak.
place as they should, and the result;
is that the brain development is in

the face will be regular. A whole
< winter could be written upon the
v. ay the teeth should be looked after
at the time of their coming and
while childriu are young, but I
wish to direct your attention par
ticularly at this time to the neces
sity of keeping the teeth clean, both
for the sake of good looks and for ,
their preservation.
The teeth of individuals vary great
ly, and consequently demand differ
ent measures to keep them clean.
The advice of the dentist should be
sought In regard to the matter.
Those who have perfectly regular
teeth, the gums of which are closed
nicely about them, will not find it
such a difficult matter to cleanse the
teeth as those whose teeth are irreg
ular, especially If they have pockets
In the gums made by the inflamma
tion about the teeth. As a general
thing the tooth-brush should be
hard and stiff, in order to cleanse
the teeth well. A good tooth-powder,
paste or liquid should be chosen by
the advice of the dentist who cares
for the teeth, or one should be used
that you have found beneficial.?

A Lazy Bug, Yes.
Are you always tired? Do you
dwell in the land where it is always1
afternoon? Is it your only joy to
lie under a spreading tree or on a

world move on without you?

Honey Kept 25 years.
Mr. Ira D. Alderman, of Taylor's
Bridge township, sent us last week
a sample of honey that he had kept
sealed up for 25 years, having been
put In a honey tumbler on the 18th
of June, 1884. The first winter after
it was put the honey sugared, but it
malted the following summer and' has
not sugared since. It was very light
and clear at first, but with age it
darkened until it is now about the
color of dark molasses. We can.'t
say that age improves its taste; in
deed we prefer it fresh. Mr. Alder
man Is very successful in bee cul
ture, and has this year taken 75
gallons from seven colonies of bees.
