Inexorable Uncle Sam.
Charlotte Chronlle.
It may be put down as a fact
that wheu a man steals from the
United States government, he is go
ing to be caught, He may elnde
the grasp of the law for months or
years, bat his fate is sure. He
may go to the utmost part of the
world, but he is no safer there
than he would be were he in hid
ing in the vicinity of his crime.
Uncle Bam, once on the track of a
criminal, never gives it up. One
of the most recent incidents is the
arrest in Chicago of George W
Fitzgerald, who, more than a year
ago, stole 1173,000 from the United
States Bub-Treasury. The theft
was a most ingenious one and was
well calculated to bathe the detect
ives. but the Secret Service men
set to work on it with dogged per
tinacity, and while the public had
loner since foreotten the details of
o
the sensational affair, the govern
ment's agents had not. The crimi
nal had been apparently lulled in
to a sense of security, from which
dream he was awakened by the
sudden click of handcuffs on his
wrists. About the only way a
thief can escape the clutches of the
government, is to die.
The Hazing at A. & M. Will Not
Stop.
Htatesville Landmark.
In conversation with a newspaper
man at Asheville a few days ago,
Dr. Hill, the new president at the
A. & M. College, being asked
about hazing, said the faculty had
always been rigidly opposed to haz
inc. but that unless the student
body extended its sympathy and
gave its aid the faculty was, to a
certain extent, powerless to sup
press hazing. Continuing Dr. Hill
said it was the purpose of the facul
ty to induce the two higher classes
the junior and senior classes to
take charge of haziug and deal with
all cases that arise, however, under
the sipevvLsioir of the faculty.
"The plan was tried after the
trouble last year,'' said the A. &
M. president, "and worked very
satisfactorily, several students be
ing expelled.''
All of which onlirms the Land
mark's lirst impressions that
there is little reason to expect re
form in the hazing matter from Dr.
Hill. Whenever the president of
a college admits that the faculty is
nowerless to control the student
I
lody, the student body may le ex
pected to engage in riotous conduct
whenever the toughs in the college
feel so disposed: and really it is a

Great is Quinine.
Speaking of quinine as the chief
among all drugs, Dr. Bingub H.
Gerlach, of Bombay, India, said to
a Washington Post reporter that
quinine is one of the most valuable
of all drugs known to medical
science.
"No one would venture to travel
in India without it," said Doctoc
Gerlach, "Before its discovery
2,000,000 peopleltiied annually in
India of malarial fever. The mor
tality from this cause is now less
than half that number. The poor
people so poor that they looked
upon the fever as their fate, and
expected no relief are saved by
the agency of quinine. England
could not keep her European soldi
ers in India without it.

Killed By the Kick of a Gun.
While hunting squirrels in Nash
county a few days ago Mr. Red
dick Dixon met his death in a pec
uliar manner. His death was
caused directly from the kick of i
shot guu in the tiring of an ordi
narv loaded shell. Mr. Dixon was
making his way around the tree in
a crouched position, wltn his gun
ready to fire, the gun over his arm
and the stock near his stomach. By
some means the eun fired and the
rebound caught Mr. Diion in the
stomach, causing internal injuries
from which he died.

A Lovers' Quarrel.
Lfppincott's.
Two young persons of German-

anxious to have it believed they
had entirely forgot ten each other.
One day the young mau called,
ostensibly on business with her
father, on which occosion it chanc
ed she should answer the door bell.
The young man was game. "Par

of bows, "Miss Eaton, I believe.
Is your father iut"
"I am sorry to say he is not,"
the young woman responded, with
out the slightest sign of reoguition.
Do you wish to see him personal-y!"
"Yes," replied the young man,
as he turned to go down the steps.
"I beg your pardou," called the
young woman, as he reached me

He Knew They'd Fit.
A Southern colonel had a colored
valet by the name of George, says
Everybody's Magazine. George
received nearly all of the colenel's
cast-off clothing. He had his eyes
on a certain pair of light trousers
which were not wearing out fast
enough to suit him, so he thought he
would hasten matters somewhat by
rubbing grease on one knee. When
the colonel saw the spot he called
George and asked if he had noticed
it. George said: "Yes, sah, Col
onel, I noticed dat spot and tried
mighty hard to get it out hut I
couldn't."
Have you tried gasoline!" the
colenel asked.
Yes, sah, Colonel, hut it don't
do no good."
"Have you tried brown paper

To Keep Salt Dry.
"To prevent salt in saltcellars

lumps of salt and gather the moist

How It is With Your Carrier.
I will say I have as kind and
clever set of patrons as any carrier
in all the country.
They have been giving me fruit,
melons, peaches and grapes to leat
theiband, and they always give me
the earliest, bigest, brightest and
best. Some day's I get a buggy
load of melons and fruit just the
best in the country.
Frequently I will find in one
man's box a nice lot of grapes and
at another patrons mail box two
or three big watermelons on the
grouud aud two or three eanta
lopes on the top of the box and
another patrons box chuck full of
good ripe peaches.
Such as this makes carryiug the
mail a pleasure and makes me feel
and think good thoughts and go
on my way rejoicing.
The road over which I travel
has been put in considerable letter
condition than it had been in the
past and, as I see it, everything
along my route is looking prosperous.
I am ofteu asked if I do not get
tired of going the same road every
day. I tell them I do not. I
w ill say 1 have been carrying the
mail three years and eight months
and have not missed but one day,
outside legal holidays and vaca
tions, and I am not tired of travel
ing that road yet and I don't sup
pose I will be the next time you
hear from me.
