Brutal DepravitjChild Burned by its Mother. Mr. Thos. P. Winkler, of the Yadkin Valley, was in to see us yesterday and tells us a harrowiDg incident that happened just ac cross the Caldwell line in Wilkes county about Christmas. One Victoria Hall, a white woman, who recently married a man named Bently, gave birth to au illegitimate child while alone at the home of her grandfather and when the neighbors came in to render assistance, the child could not be found. She denied knowing anything about a baby at first, but when a physician was called and upou examination found she had given birth to a child, she confessed, but said the child was born dead and while she was un- concious, it disappeared, she sup posed had been eaten by hogs or dogs. A search was made of the premises and the partially burned body of a child was found in a soau-erease tub in an old out building. The woman then changed her story and said while she was un- concious the babe disappeared aud when she regained conciousness, she found it in the lire partially burned. Her husband says the child was born dead and he placed it beside her on the bed and went for help and when' he returned it had disappeared and he knew nothing more about it. The whole thing is an inhuman ugly affair and the woman was placed under a bond for her appearance at an investi tion as soon as she is able to at tend. Rumors are thick in the community and one is that the child was a colored child and she endeavored to make way with it to keep peace with her husband. They lnjth, however, seem impli cated. They live with the womans grandfather an old deaf man named Kendall, who seems to know very little of what took place. The Real Question. Industrial 'ewa. The pistol, that . abomination of modern civilization, always play ing a prominent part in the trag edies of the holiday seson, seems to have held a redder carnival this year than ever before. The most pitiful instance was the killing of a little girl on a depot platform near Asheville, by a drunken wretch, who tired his pistol from a car window. Another ea.se of more than usual brutality was the slaving of an eipress messenger on a railroad near Elizabeth City, by a drunken youth who recklessly fired at the train. Other incidents are numerous. The papers are full of them. The question sug gests itself, why do people carry pistols! That Is a question of some moment, of course, but a question of equal importance is; why do many men, who should walk cir cumspectly on Christmas, it on no other day during the year, take definite steps to transform them selves into lieastsf And we say this with apologies to all brute crea tion.

The One He Liked Best. Woman's Home Companion. A country clergyman on his round of visits interviewed a youngster as to his acquaintance with Bible stories. "My lad," he said, 'you have, of course, heard of the, parables!" "Yes, sir," shyly answered the boy, whose mother instructed him in sacred history, "Yes, sir." "Good," said the clergyman. "Xnw. which of them do vou like the best of all!" The boy squirmed, but at last, hpdinf his mother's frowns, he replied: "I guess I like that one where somebody loaf and fishes." Jack London Among the Lepers Woman's Home Coinnanien. On his way around the world for the Woman's Home Compan ion Jack London visited the lepers of Molokai, on the island of Hawaii. "Leprosy is not so contagious as is imagined," writes Mr. London in the January Woman's Home Companion. "I went for a week's visit to the Settlement, and I took my wife along all ofiwhich would have not happened had we had any annrehension of contracting the disease. Xor did we wear long, gauntleted gloves and keep apart from the lepers. On the contrary, we mingled freely with them, and before we left knew scores of them by sight and name. The pro cautions of simple cleanliness seem to be all that is necessary. On re turning to their own houses, after having been among and handling lepers, the non -lepers, such as the physicians and the superintendent, merely wash their faces and hands with mildly antiseptic soap and change their coats." The Real Article. Success Magazine. Just why Dr. Wiley, the govern ment's pure food expert, should have cared to take chances with restaurant food is not known. Not long ago he walked into a Wash ington cafe and took a seat. He evidently knew just what he wanted, tor, waving aside the bill ot fare the bowing waiter profered, he said: "Bring me a chicken pie one of of those little individual pies." A few minutes later it was set before him, brown and hot, and with a smile of anticipation he broke the crust, to find, just lx neath, a three-inch feather. "Take this away!" he command ed. "What does it mean, anyway toll me that!" lhe waiter was evidently a man of resource, for he immediately leaned ovv and s;:id in a confi dential voice: 'Why, Ah'il tell yo'. sail. It's dis way. Yo' know dat Dr. Wiley been raisin' such er howl 'bout food not be-in' what hit was claim ed tor be. do cook des puts one chicken tedder in each, one of dcin pies to show ter folks dal day's re I cebin' do genw ii.e article, sail!" Effect Smokm; on Boys. Boys learn to smoke because it is habit of our times; because it is en-1 couraged by the practice of many eminent men in all the walks of life. More than one boy has re plied to my argument on the ground of health. "My doctor smokes;" on the ground of morals; "My pastor smokes," on the ground of high breeding, "My father smokes." "Now while tobacco is injurious to every one, it is far more hurtful to those who are growing. All physicians agree in saying that, a boy who uses tobacco can neer be as large or well developed a man as he could have been without it. He can never have the strength of body nor vigor of mind that he would have had except for the use of tobacco. Dr. N. B. Delamater, specialist in mental aud nervous diseases, says: "lhe use of tobacco in any form previous to sixteen years of age, has an undoubted teudencv to lower very materially the mental force and acumen, and to render the user a person without ambition, and may even cause insanity or idiocy." "Out cJ thirty-two young men in New lork city, who were re cently examined for West Point cadetship, only nine were accepted as physically sound. Beer, the cigarette, too much amusement and the hidden vices are making havoc with the physical manhood of all our towns and cities." Journal of the American Medical Association .

Shell Kent and Granite Falls drug Co. A Dreadful Assault. Conmii! Magazine. Justice Ball, an lish judge, was noted for his amusing niamfesta tior.s of ignorance, but whether thev were real or pretended has never been clearly established, ile tried a case in which a men was indicted for rohliery at the house of a poor widow . The first witness was the young daughter of the widow who identified the prisoner as the man who had entered the house and smashed her mother's chest. "Do you say that the pris sner at the bar broke your mother's chest!" said the judge in astonishment. "He did, my lord," answered the sirl. "He jumped on it till he smashed it entirely.''" The judge turned to the crown counsel and said: "How is this! Why is not the prisoner indicted for murder! It he smashed this poor woman's chest in the way the wit ness has described, he must surely have killed her." "But, my lord," said the conn sel, "it was a wooden chest." The Buds. Exchange. Old Dr. Ryland, clergyman and educator, was greatly lieloved in the south, and his visits were always enjoined by his former pupils and parishioners. In his later years it was his custom so of fer prayer whenever he made a ministerial call. On one occasion he called at a house where three of his former pupils were staying. Tlr.'se ladies were all past the thirtieth year mark, but in the eyes of lhe old gentleman they were still girls, were still girls, which explains the petition he offered: Lord, bless Uieso uear gins, just budding into sweet woman hood." This w;:s too 'uuch for one of the au u-.ii! r. who, taking advantage of the doctor's deafness, added this clause sotto voce: . "Alas, Lord, budded, bloomed, faded and still unpicked!"
