Dear children. listen while | tell
you something which deeply con.
Germs your welfare. The subject IL
the shape OF your bodies. God
knew the best shape. Hs created
us upright, in his own Image. Noar
ofthe inferior animals YAH upright.
God atted the great vitai7Gk zsas in
your bodies TO an erect spine. DO
your shoulders ever stoop forwardi
II they do, no do the lungs, heart,
liver aud stomach fall down out OF
their natural places. or course they
can't do their work well. To show
sou how this is | win tell you that
when you bend forward you can
only take about half ds much air
into the lungs as you can when you
stand up straight. As I have said,
God has so arranged the great or.
gans Ia the body that they can't do
their duty well except when the
body Is straight. Oh, how IL dis
tresses me to see the dear children,
whom | love so much, bending over
their school desks, and walking
with their head and shoulders
dropping! My dear children, il you
wonld have u strong spine aud Wig
orous lungs, heart, liver and stom.
ach, you must, now while you arr
young, learn to walk erect.
liza boy wete about to leave this
country for japan, never to return,
aud we're to come to me aud ask for
rules to preserve his health, | should
say: al am glad to see you, and
will give you tour rules, which, care.
fully observed, will be pretty sure
to preserve your heaIth.' He might
say to me: -Four are a good many;
give me one, the most important
one, and promise not to forget it.r
should reply: "Well my dear
boy, II can give SOU but one, It is
this: Keep yourself straighr, that
is sit up straight; walk up straight,
and when IN bed, at night, don't
put two or three pillows under your
head, as though iutent on watching
your toes all night;' aud | believe
that in this l should give the most
important rule which can be given
for the preservation OF health aud
long life.
Ny dear children, don't forget II.

Duel Between Wosncu.

"A W iimingtOa, Nortu CNfOilia,
special to the Cincinnati Enquirer,
dated March 70, says the inhabi.
iants Of the beautiful Valley Of the
Tyron Mountain were this morning
startled by the discovery OF n
tragedy, startling, sickeuina, and
romantic IN it's "details, II b~ing no

hand .to-hand conflict, Que was Iefi
dead upon the field, although, MS
the sequel proved, her defeat was
cnconlpassed hy means of foul play.
Robert y. Elby, "a young farmer
in humble lite, lived near the scene
Of the tragedy. A year ago he was
mn ardent suitor tor the hand OF
Miss Oracle Mills, who lived just
over the South Carolina linr; but,
although he conrted her frequently,
she would not marry him. Some
months sinco he met Miss June
jackson, who lived in the vsllcy of
Tyrou Mountain, here In North
Carolina snd he gave up his long
struggle for the hand Of fhe South
Carollna maideii and Transferred
his affections to Miss jackson, upon
whose heart, after more than one
assault, he appeared to make some
impression. As soon as the South
Carolina woman discovered this
she entertained violent hatred to.

lug il when she had the chance.
Both were robust, country women,
and 1t was thought that tllere would
be trouble between them, as each
had on more than one occasion de-
fed the other.
Last night Miss J ,ckson WAS sit
ting in the house with friend, Don q
Spencer. just at dark voice was
heard from the road calling Jane
Jackson. Jane got mp and went out,
and never returned. This morning
when search was made the searching 2
party came upon spot which
gave evidence that It had been the
field Of a desperate battle for life.
Sticks and stones were there, aud
the ground was torn by the tramp
ing of feet, while the soil had been
turned into CORY mud. Further
search revealed . trail showing that
q body had been dragged, aud
further on In . creek lay the body
of Jane Jackson, siiif and cold, and
In one OF her clenched hands was
found tutt of hair Of her assailant,
which indicated that she had made

be elicited i seems that the twc
women met out Ia the road thai
