One ol the most beautiful and
acceptable Christmas gifts that
cam to the Orphanage at all
waaa boot from Raleigh, seat by
the young men aad women^wbo
phaaage, hat who arc now living
and doing act! in the capital
city. Everything in the box
waa appropriate sad asefnl. No
body know* better than they
what the Orphanage needs.
Then follow the names of the
eleven givers, which included
"Mrs.,” and TMr. and Nn.,* aad
"Wanes” and "Messrs.” Now
that’s what becomes of soma
orphans; and let na hope that it
happens thus to moat of them—
" living and doing welF^-whlch
mans doing well foe themselves
uml dote* good onto others.
There was so orphan we knew
once n grown man. He didn't
have much, josta IlttH store.
Sotne^aid he was mighty close,
bnt may-be be was jost economi
cal—had to be. Anyhow his
customers liked him so that he
got along well with his store.
Folks with a shrewd knack for
fading out everything managed
■n—how to learn that there was
this abuwt him: he sever tamed
down the Oxford Orphan Asy
lum representative or the little
staging dam when it came to
Ms lawn. At Oxford he end his
■iters had found s good home
once. So when the collection
was takes he would is a quiet
way beat the folks giving who]
he was dose. And be
didn't always wait for the sieg
ing dam to come around and
galvanise hit Igiving serves into
activity. Bnt he prospered. He's
married now—still "living and
doing well,"
Barrooms and orphanages—both j
have their friends. One makes
sorrow, the other tries to heal it.
The atnmai of bar-rooms stand
by the bar-rooms; the graduates
of the orphanages stand by the
orphanages. The good tree
yields good frah; ty* evil tree,
evil fruit. Sowing and reaping.
What becoases of the orphans ?
Looks like they are “ Hying and
doing well." May-be that other
question needs answering :
Where do so many orphans come
from? Are them any institu
tions that manufacture little or
phans?

Dr. Jenkins was an alumuus

ooeth all things well bade him
eater into the school where none
shall ever have occasion to say
"I am tick*
not only war be skillful for
one so young in his practice but
he earned warmth and cheer to
the bedside of the sick. In the
homes of bis patients they could
sneak of him as "the beloved
physician."
Ia tha month of September,
1897, be was married to Kim
Burma Stowe, daughter of Mr.
J. P. - Stowe of Belmont who,
with one child and many friends,
mourn his death. He was a
loyal membeT of the Presbyterian

tender father, a public-spirited
citizen, a successful physician,
true friend and a Christian
soldier has been cut down in
"the midst of hit days,"
On Monday in the Presbyterian
church at Belmont in the pres
eace of a targe and sympathis
ing audience tha funeral was

"No, sir.” said a Philadelphian
wb? supplies the government
with necessities of life, "you
osa’t do business with Uncle
Samuel in the spirit of a sou*
tract; yon mast simply obey its
letter. If yon pnt In specifica

lars and ti cents sad then bin ft
goods under the contract and
the total amounts to the same
'stcen dollars and 19 cents,
you’ve got to take it back and
make up tbe two cento, or you
don’t do business.
-xxt me Biy# you and in
stance of Uncle Samuel's char
acter for exactness. We were
awarded a contract for 1,000 feet
of copper wire for League Island.
We sent the order to the manu
facturers, and they turned in the
stuff. In a few days we got a
letter from the island authorities
that that wire was onlv 985 feet
be rejected. Then we had to
get a permit from the L. A. to
Mad a man down to Join on
enough to nuke tbe demand
good, and he went down and did
the work.
"In a few days we were
notified that the piece he put on
made the whole length 1.004
feet. We wrote back that we
didn’t care for the 4 feet, and
Uncle Sam could have it,
"Next morning np cornea an
order to cat off thnt four feel or
tbe whole bunch' would he re
jected. Then we had to get
another permit for our mao to go
down and lop it off, which he
did.
"Was it all plain sailing then?
I should aay not. When he
threw tbe offending excess upon
tbe ground the guard said:
" rick that up; that’s against
tbe rules.’
"He picktd it np, and was
about to toas it into tbe river,
when he was stopped in a man

"•Heref You do that and
you’ll get yourself into trouble I’
"So, thinking that he'd find a
resting place outside of the
government preserve, onr em
ployee walked to the gate, where
be iound a sentinel.
"What have you got there?"
" a piece ot wire.'
"You can’t carry it out with
out a permit.'
" ‘All right. *1 don’t want to’,
and cast it down.
" ‘You pick that up,' said the
sentinel. ‘You cen’t throw
thing* around here.’
" But I don't want the d—d
thing.’
” Go back and get a permit.'
"And he really bad to do it to
get that lour feet of wire outside
of Uncle Sam’s fence. Now,
wouldn’t that make yon tired."?

The bouse of representatives
on last Friday made available
tbe sum of $250,000 with which
to fight the Mexican boll weevil.
Thia is not a new appropriation;
but rather a diversion from an
appropriation of $S00.000 that
was made last year for the eradi
cation of foot and month disease
in cattle. Representative Gill
ette of Massachusetts, tried to
have the bill amended so as to
provide for a farther appropria
tion of $250,000 from ibis same
$500,000 to be used in fighting
the Egyptian moth in New Eng
land" states. He claimed that
the moth was worhfng as ipigb
destruction as it tpe boJI weeyp.
His proposed amendment, how
ever. was hilled._
