The True Lady.

From the lady exhales a subtle mag
netism. Unconsciously she encircles
herself with an atmosphere of unruffied
strength, which, to those who come
into it, gives confidence and repose.
Within her influence the diffident grow
self-possessed, the impudent are
checked, the inconsiderate admonished
even the rude are constrained to be
mannerly, and the refined are per-
fected-all magnetized unawares by
the charm of the flexible dignity, the
commanding gentleness, the thorough
womanliness of her look, spe' ch and
demeanor. A sway like this i, purely
spiritual. Every sway--every ,egiti-
mate, every enduring sway-is spirit
ual; reign of light over obscurity, of
right over brutality. The only real
gains We ever make are spiritual gains
"a further subsection of the gross to
the incorporeal, of body to soul, Of the
animal to the human. The finest, the
most characteristic acts of lady in
volve spiritual ascension, going out
of itself. In her being and bearing,
patience, benignity, generosity, are the
graces that give shape to the virtue of
truthfulness. In the radiant reality of
ladyhood the artificial and the conven-
tional are naught. Different from, OPP
posite to, the super positions of art, or
the dictates of mode, is the culture OF
the innate, the unfolding of the living,
as different as the glow of health is
from the cosmetic stain that would
counterfeit its tint. SELECTED.

The Pleasures OF Business.

No human mind is contented without
occupation. No human soul is without
an aim or purpose in life. The great
est success in life consists not III the
mere accumulation of riches, but in
being able to acquire wealth with o
disposition to apply it in such man
ner that it shall be comfort and bles-
sing to others not in the mere giving
away of money, but in putting people
in way to labor and help themselves.
There is no pleasure in oppression.
There is no pleasure in grinding and
exacting gold from the poor; but there
is great deal of genuine satisfaction
in being able to offer steady and honor
able employment to the many willing
hands that have nothing to do. One
of the greatest employments OF the
prosperous business man consist in be-
ing able to comfortably provide for the
many employees in his house or manu-
factory. In doing this he is fulfilling
his obligation to society; he becomes a
useful and honored citizen; business to
him is a real pleasure; he enjoys his
successes, when they are fairly won,
because he feels that he deserves them.
When business man has the right
kind of purpose in life he always en-
joys his occupation. He feels just
and worthy pride in his prosperity, he
is pleased with the respect and graft
tude of those whom he directs and con-
trolls in the management of his affairs,
and he feels that in benefting himself
he is comforting favor upon others. -

He Does Not Like the Registration

Recently there has been some talk
of the resignation OF Senator HamI'
tou and MS becoming candidate tor
Governor OF the State. He has inst
written patriotic l0t,er to the News
and Courier in which he sets the
matter at rest. He is tired of pub
lie life and will retire as soon as he
can properly do SO. He will under
no circumstances be candidate f'r
Governor. He Gays our success ls as
sured if we "adopt and carry out in
good faith" the principles Of 1916.
He also speaks of his opposition to
Che Registration law and the general
stock law, but holds that The remedy
is not independentiarn or a restora.

precision to see dissatisfaction ID any

that their action in regard to The
