As the result of failing to heed this simple and most practical custom, vehicles are sometimes demolished and it is often the case that great damage is narrowly averted. Then, too, all should remember to give a loaded wagon the better part of the road on whatever side it may happen to be. If these rules observed and another, that are of reiirnimr u vour horse if von nre ,lr.;..;n.r fc l,wi it o w a i iijl alto nuvi awuv iv iu v r . i other team, the enjoyment of dnv- I ing in the country and town would be greatly enhanced. If your neighbor is less fortunate than yourself and does not possess that pleasing knowledge that would enable him to scan the printed page, kindly remind him of these ' i , t cus.oms, justly honored and inva- nably observed by the thoughtful, Speaking of a surgical operation performed on Policeman Goforth who was shot at Newton a few weeks, the LexiDgton Dispatch thinks it one of the most remark able on record. Says the Dis patch: s T1ia ball rnpfm tvl the hnwplu I and lodged in the muscles of the back, and now it promises the only danger that is possible, but the doctors think it will not give any trouble, at least for a time. The intestines were perforated at nine different places. By all ex per- iencc of the medical fraternity, the ioliceman would die. Dr. H. 2"Go ahead," responded the of F. Long, of Statesville, witn the ticer. Newton phi'sicians, met to operate Bending low over the wounded saying it was all they could do and that it would be useless. Ihey porformed a most remarkable op- eration with amazing success. In cases of this kind, one man out of every 100 lives and 99 die. Go- forth seems to be the lucky man. Tne doctors laid open the abdo- men and took the bowels out. Kach perforation was sewed up. One wound was two inches long. The abdomen was filled with blood. An artery had been cut by the ball. Double handfulls of clotted blood were taken out. The inte rior of the man's body was wash ed so clean that at the last a sheet of absorbent cotton was not dis colored by a stain of blood. Har ing finished, the physicians gave out no hope. "Goforth is a man of splendid physique. His body is sound. He is in his prime. No dissipation had weakened him. His wonder ful vitality surprised everybody. While tin- Dbptch U vet amazed by the account given above, we feel iliac v auesooro iijiciuu w i tJiould havi. credit for marvelous operations.

One month ago a negro here waa shot five times through the intea- tinea one time through the bladder, to operate on him. Drs. Bennett, Covington and Ross were called, and in three days time the negro threaten to take op his bed and walk nnless he waa provided with better food. Two weeks later he did leave without assistance. When it comes to difficult opera tions, Wadesboro physicians stand always in the first rank. Christmas Doi'ts. (Success.) Dont't leave the cost mark On presents, Don't let I uon i lei money dominate your i Christmas giving. Don't let Christmas giving de teriorate into a trade. Don t embarrass vourself bv giving more than you can afford. Don't try to pay debts or return obligations in your Christmas giv- ing. Dyn't give trashy things. Many an attic could tell strange stories I sn 'f m a Ira nMeanto Bhinh wrttio irieuus win uui nuuw what to do with, and which would merely en cumber the home. Don't give because others ex pect you to. Give because you love to. If you cannot send your heart with the gift, keep the gift. Don't give too bulky articles to people who Jive in small quarters, unless vou know that they need the particular things you send thenu' Don't wait until the last min ute to buy your presents, and then, for lack of time to make proper selections, give what your better judgement condemns. Don't decide to abstain from in vi rtfT VkAya nca xrr ziannAf a fr r expensive presents. The thought- fulness of your gift, the interest you take in those to whom you you give, are me principal things. .1 The intrinsic value of your gift counts very little. Don t give things because they are cheap and make a big show for the money. As a rule it is a dangerous thing to pick up a lot of all sorts of things at bargain sales for Christmas presents. If you do, there is always the temp- tation to make inappropriate gifts. Besides there is usually some de- I feet in bargain articles, or they i . . - i are out of style, out of date, or thereis other reason why they are sold under price. 0n,y 1 Trtmp. (Youth's Companiom.) A recent incident which holds n its' simple outlines the possibil- J Past traged.y, is described m the New ork Times. It is an- other illustration of how careless the world is of the individual, and how thick is the cloak which one may wrap about his personality. The other day a laborer employed by the Erie Railroad in Jersey City was run over by a tram and had his leg cut off. A policeman telephoned for an ambulance. The injured man lay on a grass patch, apparently bleed ing to death. Just then a typical railrrtari tromn in Hirtv rcm RHiin- I teZA nlnmr IT tartiwl a rtrtlio.

"I miffht be of service." laborer, the tramp asked for water to wash his hands, and then beg- god the crowd for clean handker- chiefs. With a half-dozen deft, rapid twists he made a tourniquet, and stopped the flow of blood, "Are you a doctor?" some one asked, as the man slipped away through the crowd. "I used to be," he replied, as he hurried off. From a Coastaat Realer. (Harper's Weekly.)

Caoght the Drinkers With a Kodak. (Lexington Dispatch.) When a man who loves booze too well gets a job with ttfe Southern Railway Company he does not stay long. It is only a matter of time before he gets word to move on to some other road. It seems the officials do not wait for chance to reveal who in dulges in the fiery fluid, but re sort to more strenuous means to spot them. It is said that several days ago four or five men were dismissed for breaking this rule and they were reported in a rath er unusual manner.

No use of denying anything, there were not only the faces but the interior of the saloon, the glasses on the counter the per fect picture. This lilra was de veloped and sent in to one of the officials and in due time the men whose faces appeared in the pic- A 1 1 .1 lure were dismissed irom the ser vice. COSMOPOLITAN CHRISTMAS. Hw Philadelphia Celebrates the Yule tide of Many Peoples. It la not th Christmas of one land, but tba Christmas of many, that Phil adelphia celebrates. In no two Christian countries is the great natal day observed with the same rites and customs. In the foreign set tlements of Philadelphia these variant forms, transported from the old lands, are kept alive. Indeed, at no other time are the various nationalities so very different as at Christmas. In Little Italy, for instance, the "sa cred Bambino," or Christ Child, is wor shiped for nine days before Christmas. In every Italian home a novena is said, and a bagpipe player discourses dally brr a Christmas shrine the "nacl- nlntO. In the city there are German children who, not knowing Santa Claus, look for the coming of Kriss Kringle and Knave Ruprecht on Christmas eve the Christ Child distributing presents and the Knave leaving switches for the chastisement of naughty little ones. In the Swedish quarter, in the vicin ity of Swanson and Christian streets, sheaves of wheat are placed at win dews or on housetops, that the birds as well as people may have a Christ mas feast In a Chinese church Christmas hymns are sung in the language of Confucius, a most Impressive and unusual cere mony. A colony of Syrians observe exceed ingly peculiar ceremonies In Philadel phia, one being enlivened by a dancer who balances a keg of beer on his head. In the Kensington section the click ing of countless shuttles gives place to the Tuletide customs of merry Eng land, to faithfully observed that the spectator might easily imagine himself transported magically to the "tight little isle" itself.

So far as we have been able to learn, charges of the same nature can be preferred against him here for several hundred dol lars. He was taken to Ashboro Wednesday morning.
