Capt. Ilobson is out in a series of articles in a lead ing magazine urging that the United .States be prepared, all - of which seems to indicate that there must be something for the war dogs to do even in times of peace. We are not afraid of war "and so much of this jingo talk appears to be an excuse for SDendinir more of the nations money. There is rea- m son in ueing prepared to take care of ourselves but in world af fairs as in private life, there has been man3 changes recently. The time was when nearly every man felt the need of going armed while today thousands of the country's best business men and most useful citizens think no more of putting a weapon in their pock- cts when going about their daily duties than if such never existed. The temper of the present times do not warrant such extravagance on the part of the warlords and it is high time they considered a lit tle more economy in the expendi ture of the nation s money.

(Tooth's Companion ) There lives in a western state a humble old lady whose interest in politics is confined to the single fact that her son was elected a number of years ago a member of the legislature, and has sevei-al times since been reelected. Wh. he has actually done in the legis lature she docs not know. She has no doubt that he has done all that good voy, grown to be a great man, ought to have done or could do; and one thing, at least, he did to justify her conlidencc. When the legislature assembled in the autumn of 100C. the son vis ited his mother, and chided her good naturedly for not reading the speeches be had sent her. She had saved them all, and knew just w&ere they were; but she confessed that she had not been able to read them all, nor to understand very well what she had read. "But you are going o make a speech this year that I shall read, every word," she said. Tell me which one that is, and PU be sure to make it," said he. -"It's the one on the anti-saloon bill," said she. 44Oh, that one!" he said, some what confusedly. "Yes. I know it will be a good ar a t i one. liy boy. you Know wnat ijqu0rdid for our home years ago. I have prayed, prayed that my son might grow up to save other boys from his father's fate. And this is your opportunity. I know you will be true to it." Well, mother," replied the son, I don't know that I have much confidence in these efforts to make men good by legislation. You can't very well do more than regu late the liquor traffic. The attempt to prohibit it altogether always fails. I don't know that I can make a speech in favor of that bill." But the arguments fell unheeded on4ier ears. She did not take them seriously. She thought her son joking, as was his wont. 'Oh, I know you like to tease me," she said, 4 but I know you'll vote for that bill, and" speak for it. And I shall read every word of your speech, and I shall pray for you every day, that God will bless that speech and make it win the fight" The son had, indeed, expected to speak on the bil', but on the other side; and he never had doubted, nor had his political friends, which wav he would vote. But the weeks went by, and the fate of the bill hung in the balance, and he kept his own counsel. It was assumed, however, that he would vote against the bill in the end, and so his silence caused no uneasiness to the liquor men. "I know why you are waiting," wrote his mother. 1 ou are wait ing to make your great speech when the great fight comes. God bless you, my boy I 1 am praying for you. How proud I am of you !" It was that letter that put all doubt aside. When the lines be can to tighten and a deadlock was threatening, he first voted "on an amendment which forecasted his final action. That vote brought surprise to the friends of temper ance and discouragement to the friends of the liquor cause, . a And when the bill came up on its third reading he spoke. He did not see the members of the House, but he saw an old woman, reading his speech through specta cles that required frequent wiping and it was a speech that carried conviction. The vote was so close that any one of a dozen things might have turned the scale: but among the stories told in the committee rooms, after the bill became a law under which several hundred" sa loons werp obliged to close, is that here related. It is the true story of the way a mother's prayers and confidence had their decisive in fluence in the making of a law. Fifteen Bills of IoJIctmetit Against the Saloon What It Does for the Commaalty.

Captore of Confederate President an Eotsrasslng Incident. Carl Schurz's "The South after the t War." in McCiure's. ' The capture of Jefferson Davis was a very serious thing, and it was regarded by not a few cool headed and long-sighted men as a very unfortunate one. It has be come i?eii known that President Lincoln wished that downfall of the Confederacy would not deliver the chief of the Confederacy into into his hands. A Lincoln anec dote current at the time seemed to have, good authority behind it. After Lee's surrender a friend asked Mr. Lincoln whether he did not think it would be best to let Jefferson Davis get out of the country. Lincoln answered by telling a story of a Methodist preacher out West, a strict tem perance man, who was offered a glass of water with a dash of brandy in it, and who replied that he would not object to a drop of something strong in his drink, if that drop could be put in "'un beknownst" to himself. Lincoln no doubt saw clearly that the capture of Jefferon Davis would burden the government with a most embarrassing dilemma. The public voice wold insist up on the chief of the rebellion being tried and punished for treason Now, his crime of treason had been committed in the South. A . m m ill trial 1 or treason wouia oe a mere farce for it seemed a forgone con elusion that no jury in the South could be found that would pro nounce Jefferson Davis or any of the lieads of the rebellion guilty of treason. A trial by a military commission might result in a ver diet of guilty; but resort to a mil itary tribunal for the trial of f I " . 1 gm m . . political onense alter the war might have looked like a stretch of arbitrary power befitting an Old World desposition, rather than this New World republic. They Fell Among Thieves. w- . .1 Keiative to the capture near Albermarle last week of the two wagon loads of whiskey claimed by Mr. Sheek of this place, the Chronicle of that town says: The count showed that two kegs of whiskey had been stolen after reaching town and an extra quart Ithat was in one of the wagons was "swiped" early in the game, and one of the drivers miss ed a valuable watch which he left in his coat in the wagon. When ready to start it was discovered that a fine Shepherd dog which followed the wagon here was misring and could not be found. The Enterprise of Albermarle says: Mr. Sheek brought his lawyer with him from Wadesboro and also employed local counsel. His defense was that he was hauling the goods from Salisbury to Wil mington, the excuse being that it saved freight and prevented stolen goods while in transit. That there was something rot ten in Denmark was evident, it was also evident that Sheet was well up to his iness and the vigilance of But Mr. local officials resulted in naught in this case. He was at one time a revenue officer, and per haps knew the limits and weak points of the law better than those who were trying him. The packages were addressed to Cape Fear Distilling Co., Wil mington, N. C. Several similar loads have been passing through this section for some time past, ana tnere is much speculation as to why this method is being resorted to at this time. The circumstances would seem to justify a careful investi gation. It seems a little strange that a wagon said to be loaded with ,the "ardent" was seen near Anson- ville oa Saturday morning follow ing the affair in Stanly. Sheriff Martin and Mr. B. E. Bennett went out to investigate sometime Saturday but failed to find the wagon, noticing however the m . a signs or its late appearance on Anson sou. it comes out now that whiskey wagons have ' been this since seen quite oiten between place' and the Stanly line saloons were voted out.

GROW COW PEAS WHERE NECESSARY box uovers Are prererafiie since a Cheaper Crop and Soil Improvers. (Clarendon Davis in Progressive Far mer.) Messrs. Editors: While the pea is the main nitrogen gathering plant of the South and will con tinue to be so from the fact that it not only supplies nitrogen to our thin soils but. also furnishes the best forage for our stock. Yet, we must admit that they are an expensive crop when compared with the nitrogen gathering crop of the North clover. For neas. we must plow, harrow and drag the land, in order to get the soil in the proper mechanical condi tion for the reception of the seed. To obviate this, I have tried for years to find a substitute, or at least lessen the expense and work of obtaining nitrogen; and at the same time to produce a quantity of nutritius forage. So far I find there is no plant that can take the place of that child of Massey, the cowpea; but I have been able in a great meas ure to substitute two clovers, red and aisi&e, to neip on tne more productive soils, while I tackle the poorrplaces with peas. There are many sections of the South where the clovers grow to perfection: and many others where they would grow if the methods of feeding now in vogue were cnangeu. When clover is sown in the fall, it should be put in early and with the fall-sown grains, wheat or oats. Drill your grain and follow with the seeder; and let the first rains wash the seed down into the bottoms of the little furrows left by the drill, so that the grain and clover will come up together. Walking over your fields in win ter or spring, you will think you have no stand. You must stoop down and part the blades or grain, and you will find the tiny clover plants nestling under the gram tor protection. The surest and, to mind, the ideal way to obtain a stand of clo ver and hold it through adverse weather conditions is to take a crab firrass field where the dead grass forms a mulch over the sur face: and the middle of February sow the clover, without prepara tion or covering. Those who will try this will be surprised at the results. They will see clover growing on land that Jthey consi der too poor for anything but peas. Prohibition Law in tne Hands of Sheriff. (Lexington Dispatch.) The sheriffs of North Carolina can make pronioiiion proniou or they can make it a failure, by ac tion or inaction. The sheriff is the king pin of the whole outfit. In Cumberland county, we would presume, the blockader is a wary creature, because the sheritt ia that county keeps them on the TT , move, tie cuts up a sun, seems like, every week. In Iredell we believe, the sheriff has also made good, but if this official in any other county, whether he be re publican or democrat, has done anything towards enforcing the aws as they exist today, we do not recall the facts,. When the new prohibition law goes into ef- ect, more responsibility than ever will be placed on the sheriff's shoulders, and North Carolina will watch him to see if he makes that aw a success or failure by doing his sworn duty or by doing noth ing. It is very bard to get an elective official in a county to en danger his prospects of a re-election by too much activity against violaters of the liquor laws, but we believe that after the people of the state vote prohibition, as they will, public sentiment is going to be such that the sheriff who does not enforce the law . is going to have less chance of re-election than he would have if he enforced the people's will as registered at the polls on the 26th of May.

Alter tne raising 01 JUazarus as 4 iA Am m V recorded in our last lesson, Jesus with his disciples retires to North era Judea, in the neighborhood of Ephriam for a short rest. The opposition to him is ranidlv in creasing and these last few weeks are the busy ones with the Master. ine liospei or John Dasses.over with comment the srreat deeds and teachings and parables and brings us immediately to the closinc scenes in the life of the Christ. Study carefully the accounts in the other gospels of this period. The time of the Passover ap proaches and the people wonder if Christ will dare show himself at the feast. The Chief Priests and Pharisees had commaded that any one who k new the whereabouts of Jesus should make it known that be might be apprehended. LESSON STORY. The lesson is a touching little story. Simon calls together his friends to meetandgreet Jesus, who is on his way with his disciples to Jerusalem to attend the Passover and offer himself as the sacrifice for the world. Who this Simon was has been the discussion. Some think that he was the father of Lazarus, others the husband of Martha and still another theory is that he was the leper who came to Jesus for healing with the word. thou canst, if thou wilt." At any rate, he loved and knew Jesus and prepared this feast for him. Lazarus is at the table with the others. Jews are there as guests and as spectators. Jesus is con tinually watched. Martha is serv ing and if it is not her own home it is the home of a friend where she is intimate. Mary with a heart of love for her friend and Lord anoints his feet and head with a box of very precious oint ment. Judas exclaims against the extravagance and insists that it would have been better to have sold it and turned over to him the auiu xv auu kuiucu uci kv ill ill mo nrnnaaAt! cm the poor. The sacred writer. however, tells us that it was not because of love for the poor but that he might himself use it, that Judas so complained. Immediate ly Jesus rebukes Judas. Trou ble not the woman. She has done done what she could. Against the day of my burying hath she done this." The Common people hear ing that Jesus was there, flocked to see him and to see Lazarus. Many believed and the Jews took counsel that they might put Laza rus to death for the people saw him alive and believed. ILLUSTRATIVE. Notice it is "Simon, the leper." The people then would not forget that although cleansed, he was Simon the leper. Today it is the the same. The world remembers the sins of a man. They are told even after the repentance and con version. Every one should offer Christ his own service. Martha did that which she could best do. It was necessary and it was pleasant, (preorge Macdonald, in a fine son nett, tells of the beautiful cathe dral filled with the priests and worhipping throng that came and went, while a humble woman, withjier broom, kept sweeping out the dust that the crowd left behind.

"Then 1 saw slow through all the pil- lard gloom Across tne church a silent figure come. 'Daughter; it said, thou sweepest well my floor!' 'It is the Lord!' I cried, and saw no more. Mary excelled in the service of the heart and this should - accom pany the service of the hands. It was a beautiful example of grati tude, love and courage. To face misunderstanding, sneers and criticism show all three. It- was a beautiful fore-glimpse of the sacrifice of Calvary. Christ ac cepted and commended it The heart of Judas was wrong. A thief! But even if this had not been so, he was still wrong, for giviDg 4 begets giving, and the) same spirit which impels Mary to pour out the ointment upon the head and feet of Jesus would lead her to aid and help the poor. During the seige of Ladysmith in the Boer war, a man, professing to be a soldjer, was courtmartialed for ' causing despondency and sentenced to one year's imprison ment. The man deserved his punishment and every man who has the habit of criticising every attempt at Christian work should be severely disciplined. THE POET'S WORD. 'She who has chosen Martha's part. The planning head, the steady heart, So full of household work and care, Intent on serving everywhere, May also Mary s secret know. Nor yet her household cares forego, May sit and learn at Jesus feet. Nor leave her service incomplete." Thomas. "Her eyes are homes of silent prayer, - Nor other thought her mind aamltn But. he was dead, there he sits, And he that brought him back is there. Then one deep love doth supercede All other, when her ardent gate Roves from the living brother s face. And rests upon the Life indeed. All subtile thought, all copious fears, Borne down by eladness so complete, She bows, sue bathes the Saviour's feet With costly spinkenard and with tears." Tennyson. "The highest duties oft are found Lying on the lowest ground, In hidden and unnoticed ways, - , In household works on common days; What'er done for God alone, Thy God acceptable will own." Monsell. "Thousands at his bidding speed, And post o'er land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait." Milton HINTS. To make a man, save the boy. In order to teach the child one must study the child mind. It should be the purpose of the teacher to train the pupil to think for himself. "See your pupil, not as he is, but as he is to be in years to come." "The Sunday School should not supplant the home but supplement it in the study of the Word of God." One of the greatest mistakes the primary teacher is apt to make is in not preparing the les son thoroughly. Parents have no moral right to delegate the sole religious training of their children. It is said that Mrs. Mary A. Wright of Burlington, N. J. is the oldest Sunday-schoolteacher, in point of service, in the world. She has taught for 60 years and has only been late once in that time and absent only a few Sun days. The question of the time of this lesson is unsettled. Some students of the gospels place this feast .on Tuesday of the Last ' week while others think that it took plack on the evening of the Jewish Sab bath. Jesus retired each night to Bethany where he would rest with his friends, returning to Jerusa lem in the morning. The writer has adopted the earlier date as the time of the feast, although the advocates of the later make a strong case in their favor. Christ is not satisfied with a single kind of service from any one. The world has many needs and requires many sorts of help fulness. Christ has implanted in us the seeds, at least, of many kinds of powers. Wesley's motto for Christian service may be en larged: ALL AT IT, ALWAYS AT rr, AT IT IN ALL WAYS.
