feet in length, with its shelves and
counters heaped with good, well
made clothing and watch the suave

and if you mount up to the second

you are tempted to wonder if there
are people enough to buy it all
But Col. Moore has spent his life in
the business and built up a reputa-
ton for fair dealing that draws
custom from far and near. The
experience of the buyer who goes
there for the first time is expressed
by the fact in the well known line,

said the mother, holding up the
bright, gentle face, and looking
down at it fondly.
girls lips, but her eyes dropped
suddenly, and her cheeks were
crimsoned in a moment. A kiss on
the pretty lips, and the mother was
turning away.
Mamma" said the little husky
voice, "let me whisper in your ear.
Mamma, you trust me. | must tell
you everything and the voice was
so low that only the mother heard
it. AS she bent over to catch the
hurried words she felt the little
heart fluttering under her fingers
she saw the face flush and pale; she
knew, too, by the quiver OF the lips
the struggle of the moment.
She would have kissed the lips,
the face, and hushed the heart she
would have stopped the trying story,
but she knew that a fault confessed
was a fault half conquered, and so
waited to the end.

a sad step aside from the narrow
way of right. She knew better.
She had been more than half un-
happy on account of il for several
days, especially as she could not
gather courage to confess it--Only
the words Of trust brought about the
confession. Could she say, ayes,
mamma," knowing that nt that
very moment she was covering a
little corner Of the heart where she
had hidden a fault she wished no
eyes to see?
The mother, sorry for the child's
trial, yet glad Of her vietory for
right, was still sad i'm thinking of
the fault. Other children might
have done the same thing-Other
children might have done worse
but her own fair-faced child She
could have wept before her as she
stood both in gladness aud in sor-
row--sorrow for the fault, gladness
that she was too true to receive
praise unworthily, too strong for
the right TO allow the hardness Of
the confession to overcome her.
She stopped and folded her in her
arms, saying: "Kiss me, Kathrina;
your fault would break my heart,
but that / believe this hour you
have conquered you have done
well-nOw i know better than l
knew before that j can trust my

to vote for or against the proposed
settlement of the State debt. In
another column will be found the
views of several of the newspapers
Of the State, which indicate that the
people will accept "A settlement on
the basis Of fifty and four. This
will be most gratifying, as every
man who has the great material in
terest of the State at heart is anxious
to have this question taken out of
politics and finally settled upon
basis which will inflict no dishOnor
upon the credit of the State. In
West Tennessee we hear mo serious
opposition to the settlement which
the bOndholders have accepted.
We shall not, therefore, 90 into an

ture are the trustees Of the people,

thousand dollars year suffer more
from want of means than others
with three hundred. The reason is
that the rich MANS are artificial

and he suffers enough from hoing
dunncd for unpaid debts 10 kill

q dollar a day, and who does not
run in debt, is the happier OF the
two. Very few people who have
never been rich will believe This,
but ii Is true. There are thousands
with prlncely incomes who never
knew a minutes peace because they
live beyond their means. There Il
really more happiness in the world
among working people, than among
those who are called rich-always
providing that poor folks do not, In
