A HttiMI IN OBSCURITY. mmammaWmmm tlocntfcAjalt, Devotion And Bravery Of A ' "tiobR Womin Squandered On A Luckless WetcVA Letter That Would Melt A Heart Of Stone Had No Effect. ' ', Inhe pocket of a dissolute man who. tired of life, ended his mis eries'by suicide in Cleveland a few days ago, was this letter from his wife, who lived in an other city, says the Louisville Courier-Journal : ' 'Think of the good times the woods and the brooks and the country walks the old happy days In the flat. Are you letting it go? have believed the good would triumph. I can believe in ,you still bh, so heartily, with just a little encouragement . "My dear you are the heart of my heart. I have done alii could. If I have not been acceptable, God pity me. I would give my life to make you the man you were intended to be if I knew h6w: " Sometimes I have given without avail. , -'This was your time, this is your time to show what manner of man you are. I write severly, but my heart goes out to you and y6u know it in spite of my words. I shall send the money, though it will be a little less than $40. Your telegram broke my last $40. itis just as Well." I want to know what you are doing. If you .return, it means you need my rtursing atod will resume your work as soon as you are able. It miistriotmeirithaiydahave pet ered out and! have no backbone. That I will not 'face. Ask your self if you have done the best you could. ' " ' ' "Don't send more telegrams collect, if or I am sending you all my money. You know how much I had when you left-and I have no more. Don't think I don't love you. You know I do, but 4ori't delude yourself into think ing that there is any work in New York that is sure or any that is possible" if. you are not doing right" ; : : You may dig deep into imag inative literature , and you will not find a finer piece of writing than this. You will not find a more appealing glimpse of wifely love, courage and sacrifice. You will not discover a truer picture of a woman rising to nobler heights and fulfilling the great duties of woman's life. And yet the pleas, the devotion and the bravery were squandered upon the luckless wretch to whom his wife sent those eloquent words. v : H Stopped His Paper, Once upon a time a man got 'mad at the editor and stopped his paper. The next week he . sold his corn for four cents below the market price. Then his property was sold for taxes because he didn't read the treasurer's sales. He was arrested and fined $8 for going hunting on Sunday simply because he didn't know: it was Sunday, and paid $300 for a lot of forged notes that had been ad vertised two weeks and the pub lic cautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a big Amer ican with a foot like a forge ham mer, to kick him ail the way to the newspaper office, where he paid four years in advance and made the editor sign an agree rfcestta knock him down and rcb &m if he ever ordered his raiisr stonned fltmin.-rSnn PVnn. .n'tt 4 COLUMBUS NEWS. Showers Have Made Crops Grow Steadily The Ice Cream Festival Saturday r Other Notes. ; Sim McFarland has gone to Rutherfordton to find employ ment. Many Columbus citizens at tended the childrens' day exer cises at Mill Spring Sunday. Rev. T. C. Croker preached at the Presbyterian church Sunday morning oh the subject "service and worship. " ' ' v The ice cream festival, for the benefit of the Baptist church, will be held, as formerly announced, at the dormitery building, Satur day, June '24th. The showers that visited this section lately have kept crops growing steadily. Most farmers have . their, crops cleaned, and chances lor good yieids are bright. ' Register of deeds F. M. Bur gess and Sim McFarland made a trip to Rutherfordton Friday, re turning Sunday. W. H. McFar land, of Tryon, acted register of deeds during the former's absence. . Few people in this section know that Mrs. Olive Tilf ord Dargan, who is at Log Cabin Inn, is a successful writer of plays. Her book "Semiranis and other Plays," has been highly com mented by the press all over the country. Here, for instance, is the New York Herald's' opinion of the writer's ability; "Mrs. Dargan will henceforth be one who must be counted with when American poetry is the theme." THE WAR. Estimated That Russia Has1 Lost 180,134 And Japan 153,662 Lives, Total 333, 796 BlcoJiest Var n UU: y. Unless a change is made in the programme as agreed upon, re presentatives of Russia and Japan will meet in Washington about two months hence and endeavor to agree upon terms of peace; or at least come to such an under standing as will bring the war to a close. It has not yet been an nounced with any apparent de gree of accuracy what terms Japan will lay down as the price of peace, and it will doubtless be some time yet before these are known. While-Russian officials now and then make the statement that Russia will only accept generous terms, there is little to indicate that she can do other than what Japan says about it The news from Manchuria is that steps have been taken for the signing of an armistice which will stop the fighting between the armies of General Linevitch and Field Marshal Oyama. The latter is represented as having practically enveloped the entire Russian army and he being anx ious to inflict a crushing blow upon the Russian army even as Togo did upon the navy.. The chance of his doing so, however, appears to be remote, for peace is in the air, and the time of gun play seems to have passed., Now that the war is practically over, estimates of the total losses are being made. . The aggregate losses since the beginning of hos tilities, February 8, 1904, are estimated at 180,134 for Russia and 153,662 for Japan-333,796 in all on land and sea. - Consider ing the number involved, this has been-perhaps the blodiest war in history, the mortality being even greater than in tie mighty civil struggle in the, United States.

' , Ruling Passion Strong In Death The ruling passion is often very strong in death, says Harper's Weekly. A senator from Ten nessee discovered this some years ago. Among his constituents was a certain man who came- to him regularly twice a year ' for the purpose of obtaining a pass to Baltimore. The man and his family had served the senator when he was llrst making his way up the ladder of politics,; ana as a result of this, he always obliged him, and had, moreover, a soft place in his heart for the man. He obtained for him a position in one of the departments at Washington; but this jiid; not seem to be enough, for regularly at the end 'of each six months he applied for his ticket to Balti Cream Freezers aM Screen Doors and Windows.

The sick man looked up with a flash of recognition, and instantly replied in a wisper: ' 'Yes, senator; please get me a pass to Baltimore." ; TOWN TAX LISTHIG HOTICE. ; , I have set Saturday, June 24th, 1905r for listing taxes or the tqn of Columbus.
