ling MaiU.
During several seasons young Parks
had been a constant visitor at the house
of Abemleich Morrison. Sunday after
Sunday the young fellow would come,
and after sitting nearly all day, stealing
glances at Soekey, old Abemleich's
daughter, he would go home. He was
SO bashful that when the time came for
his departure he would glide out Of the
door, jump over the fence, and run
like a jack rabbit. Last Sunday he
took his place as usual.
"Sam," said old Abemleich, "what's
your daddy doin'?"
"Makin' NV a steer yoke, uh, huh,
huh"
"What's Lige doin'?"
"Ain't dom nolhn.' Dun gone to

"What's your mother doin'2"
"Got sorter behind on her quilt an

eyes, you may have her. Come here,
Sook," calling the girl.
"What do you want, dad?" she said
entering the room.
''Hold on, Sam. Come back, you

Sam had jumped over the fence and
was running like a jack rabbit. Old
Abemleich says that the marriage may
take place as soon as Sam "ken be
hemmed up an fotch to the house. -

The Rev. Moses A. Hopkins, who has
been appointed by President Cleveland as
minister to Liberia, is in the fullest sense of
the phrase a self made man. Born slave,
in Montgomery county, Va, he, through
his own energy and industry, gained his
freedom and as soon as this was accomplish
ed began to save money to obtain an educa-
ton. Having acquired sufficient means he
took upa course of studies at the Lincoln
University, Pa, and graduated thence in
the class Of 1873. He also graduated from
the Auburn, New York, Theological Semi
nary. In addition to his services as Pres
byterian clergyman he has been engaged in
educational pursuits and was Principal of
the State Normal School at Franklinton, n.
c., for number of years. He was highly
recommended by Governor Scales and other
officials of North Carolina, as we'll as by
other men of prominence outside of his
State, for the position to which he has been
appointed.
Liberia is a republic on the west coast of
Africa, and was founded in 1920 by the
American Colonization Society. 1t was
made an independent State in 1917. 1t has
GOO miles of coast line and an average width
of 100 miles. The government is modelled
after that of the United States. All men
are born free and equal; elections take
place by ballot, and every male citizen
owning property has the right to vote. No
white man can become a citizen, and none
but citizens may acquire real estate. The
capital is Monrovia and has an estimated
population of 5000. The climate is tropi-
cal and very unhealthy to the Caucasian
race, although the natives are robust and
vigorous. The total population is estimated
ut ,05O, 600 souls.

WHEN ADVERTISING IS WANTED
There's nothing on earth SO mysteTiously
funny as q newspaper advertisement. The
prime, first, last and all-the-time object of
an advertisement is to draw custom. 1T is
not, was not and never will be designed for
any other human purpose. So the merchant
waits till the busy season comes and the
store is so full Of customers he can't get his
hat off, and then he rushes to the newspa-
pers and puts in his advertisement. When
the dull season gets along and there is no
trade, and he wants to sell goods so bad he
can't pay his rent, he takes out his adver-
tisement. That is, some Of them do; but
occasionally a level headed merchant scoops
all the business, while his neighbors are
making mortgages to pay the gas bill.
There are times when you couldn't stop
people from buying everything in the store
if you planted cannon behind the door,
and that's the time the advertisement is
sent out on its holy mission. 1t makes
light work for the advertisement, for a
chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all
that was needed and have halfholiday six
days in the week, but who wants to favor
hard work, and should be sent out in the
dull days when the customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts and kicked
insensible with bankrupt reductions and
irresistible slaughter of prices before he will
spend cent. That's the aim and end of
the advertisement, and, if you ever open
store, don't try and get them to come
when they are already blocking up the
doorway and sticking out of the windows,
but give them your advertisement right
between the eyes in the dull season, and
you will wax rich on fast horse, and per-
haps be able to smoke good cigar once or
twice year. Write this down where you
will fall over it every day. The time to
draw business is when you want business,
and not when you have more business than
you can attend to already.-Joeumalis.

THE PAST.

The fASI.
Into the moonlight of the Past,
TO silence deep subsiding,
The Present, with it's uproar loud,
Forevermore is gliding:
There, backward drifting more and more,
It's men and its things grow DINNER,
Till what was once as sunshine clear
Fades to a twilight glimmer.
Thus time that is to time that was
With noiseless lapse is changing,
And we that live, to shadows turned,
Will ghost-land soon be ranging:
AS ranged of yore the phantoms thin,
The life worn, spent and weary,
The throngs unnumbered of the dead
Through Homer's Hades dreary.
The hours are brief while overhead
The sun for us is shining;
Then wherefore brood upon the Past,
For dead and gone repining?
We shall not fail it's phantoms pale
10 join at last forever
At last to know the languid flow
Of Lethe's fabled river.
When we are gone the years will still
Becoming and be going, :.
The decades into centuries swell,
= No pause nor respite knowing. }
New eras take the place of old,
Old things be wholly rotten,
Until our dwindling point of time
Long lapsed shall be forgotten.
Its modes, beliefs and arts be strange
To those for future ages,
AS modes which History's sire records
Upon his hoary pages.
For on thoughts threshold still we stand,
Brute instincts low obeying;
But Mind and Reason pure will yet
Some future grand be swaying

WHAT IS MODERATE DRINKING ?-lt is
the great deceiver of nations, promising
health and long life, yet destroying more by
its tendencies than war, famine, or the
plague.
It is a sweet morsel in the mouth, but
gravel in the stomach.
1t is the A B G of drinking; the picture
book leading the young and thoughtless to
the worst lessons of intemperance.
1t is regular quack medicine, making
splendid promises, but performing no cure,
and yet demanding an enormous pay.
1t is the starting point to the work-house,
the asylum and the gallows.
1t is light-fngered gentleman, who feels
every corner of the drawer, and goes to the
very bottom of the purse.
1t is the first step in an inclined plane OF
rapid descent, smooth as marble and Slip
perry as glass, ending in an abyss Of ruin.
1t is beautiful serpent, in whose fangS
deadly venom are concealed by the dazzling
of its coils.
1t is hypocrisy personited, an affected
outside sobriety, while all is agitation and
uncleanness within.
1t is the landlords bird line, by which he
secures his victims and fastens them in a
cage.
It is an ignis fatuus, tempting its fted
followers over trembling bogs, and tumb-
ling them down frightful precipice.
1t is the whirlpool of ruin, in which thou
sands have sunk to rise no more.
1t appears as an angel of light, assuming
the smiling countenance, but in reality is a
demon of the bottomless pit.
tbs like a perpetual dropping, injuring a
mans constitution far more than occasional
drunkenness.
1t is the birthday and birthplace of all the
drunkenness we have in the land.
1t provides an army of reserve to recruit
the ranks of the sixty thousand destroyed
annually by strong drink.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RINGS.-lt is un-
derstood that gentleman who desires to
marry wears a plain or chased gold ring
upon the first finger of the left hand. When
he becomes engaged the ring passes to the
second finger. After marriage it passes to
the third finger. IT, however, the gentle
man desires his lady friends to clearly un-
derstand that he is not ''in the market" and
does not wish to marry at all, ne wears the
signet upon his little finger. This Will IN
form all the ladies that he is beyond reach.
With the ladies plain or chased gold ring
on the little finger of the left hand indicates
mot engaged" or "ready for an Offer"
When engaged the ring passes to the third
finger on the right hand. When married
the third finger on the left hand receives the
ring. When young lady desires to DEFY
all Suitors she places rings-one on the hrst
and one on the fourth finger.
n% Some one tells the story of well buck
ct that grumbled because it was kept going
up and down the deep we'll, and could not
see that it did any good. 1t did not empty
the we'll, for whenever it went down there
was Just as much water as ever. Ana "hen
it came up full the water was carried away,
and it never knew what became OF IL. "A
good deal of our work in this world seems
as discouraging as that of the bucket. we
dip away at the sin and misery around US,
and vet cannot see that it is materially di-
minished. We try to do good, but often we
cannot trace the result of our efforts. Yet
our erumbing is as foolish as that OF the
bucket. If it could have known how many
thirsty ones the water carried from 1T re-
freshed. how many faces it cleansed, how
MANY stains it washed away, it would have
reoicel in its mission.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS IN WASHINGTON.
The old capitol is thing of the past. Ihe
building has been transformed into three
private residences. An army officer occu-
pies one and a justice OF the united states
Supreme court another. The old capitol
was built in four months and cost $4,000.
On the fourth of July of the year 1915 there
was crop growing on the ground where on
Monday, December 4, of the same year,
Congress met. The British destroyed the
capitol in 1914. They also partially Destroy
ed the white house the same day, August
"a. The following Congress met at Blodg-
ett's hotel, which was located on the pres
ent site of the post office department build
ing. After the capitol building had been
rebuilt, the temporary, or rs it has ever
since been known as the old capitol, was
turned into boarding houses. They were
most patronized by Southern congressman.
John c. Calhoun died in one of them.-New
York Herald.

The silver question is the great issue OF
the day, and President Cleyeland's admin
istration will, in great measure, be judged
by the stand he takes in the matter. The
difficulties that have been met in trying to
force the Bland dollar into circulation show
ness. The vaults of the United States Treas
ury are now filled to overfiowing with the
ponderous metal and the coinage still con-
tinues and must continue until the bill is
repealed. The value of the Bland dollar
varies with the quotations Of the London
silver market from eighty-one to eighty
nine cents. At present the value is about
eighty-three cents. France is also having
trouble with the silver coinage, her troub-
le being caused by the vast amount of the
silver coin of Belgium held by the money
ed institutions. In our own country the
friends and opponents OF silver seem equal
ly determined; the one that coinage must
stop, and the other that it shall go on. AS
silver is the product of the country, its
friends assert that it should be used to the
greatest extent. The East is practically a
unit in the demands that the silver bill
shall be repealed, and many of the metro
politan journals devote, day after day, COL
umns of space to the subject. The bankers
and fnanciers are unanimous in their de-
nunciation of silver coinage, predicting fl
nancial disaster if the present course is per-
sisted in. A number of prominent men,
seeing the determined stand that the friends
and foes of silver have taken, have come
forward as peace makers, seeking tosmoothe
over the difficulties of the situation. OF
these none is more prominent than A. j.
Warner of Ohio, the author of what is known
as the Warner Compromise measure.
This measure seeks to restrict the coinage
of silver and to issue therefor silver certiti-
Gates, for which bullion purchased by the
Government and deposited in the treasury
vaults will be collateral. Warner has been
making strenuous efforts during the sum-
mer to gain supporters to his scheme, and
whilst others have been rusticating, has Wis
tied many members of Congress-.
A. J. Warner is native of New York,
having been born in Erie county, January
18th, 1891. He received his education at
Beloit, Wisconsin ,and in the New York Cen
tral College, n. y. After graduating he
made his way to Pennsylvania, where he
was principal of the Lewiston Academy
and superintendent of public schools OF
Mitfiin county. From 1857 to 1861 he was
principal of the Mercer Union Schools. In
1861 he entered the army as captain in
Pennsylvania regiment and was successive
ly advanced to the rank of Lieut.. Colonel,
and Brevet Brigadier General. He served
through the war, participated in number
of engagements, was wounded at Antietam,
and was honOrably discharged. After the
close of the war he took up the study of the
law and was admitted to the bar in 1865.
He was sent to the FortysiXth and Forty
eighth Congresses. He resides at Marietta,

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT IN MEXICO
When an American settles in Mexico he
should be prepared to pay cash for every
thing, and if he knows what Isl good for him
he will take receipted bill when he pays
out money. If he omits these precautions
he may wake up some fine morning in debt.
In Mexico, to be in debt is the worst thing
that can happen to- man. Under the Mex
lean law the creditor can have the debtor
arrested on the day when the debt falls due.
The prisoner in such cases is chained to
post guarded by an officer.
At the end of the time, if the money is
not forthcoming, the mans labor is sold to
the government for 10 cents day Tor as
many days as will be necessary to discharge
the obligation. The miserable debtor is sent
to the silver mines, where he is chained to a
gang of felons and compelled to labor under
ground. Hesleeps underground, and never
Sees daylight again until he is restored to
freedom. Not only do ignorant Mexicans
fall victims to this cruel system of slavery,
but foreigners residing in the country occa,
sionally get caught in tight place, and
their creditors send them to the mines,
where the majority of them die.-Aaa'aa

ADVICE TO NEWSPAPER READERS
Never borrow paper. This is important.
Never believe anything you read in
newspaper that doesn't agree with what you
think. This saves wear and tear on your
convictions.
Always speak slightingly Of the newspa-
per you happen to read. This impresses
people who don't know you with the idea
that you are very superior sort of a person.
When newspaper opposes your candl-
date always accuse the editor OF having
personal spite against him. That is the way
you would act if you were the editor, you
know.
When you finish reading the paper throw
it down contemptuously and remark loudly
and impressiveiy that "there's nothing in
the papers nowadays" This carries weight
with those people who overhear you and
are unable to read themselves.
Tell every one that newspapers ought to
be cheaper. The cheaper you can get them
the better they will be-. You know how
that works on other lines Of business.
Write frequent letters to the editor telling
him how to conduct his business. This is
one of the things he enjoys most of any
thing. 1t shows him that whatever disad-
vantages his work may have, he is much
more to be envied than a bilious, dyspeptic,
conceited, asinine, ignorant, bumptious,
boresome crank. 1t makes him satisfied
with his lot. But send your letter by mail.
Why? The editor may be larger man
than you are.-Ne1v York Graphic.

GREENBAcKs.-"Old Greenbacks," vas
the soubrquet given to Secretary Chase in
the army, from the green ink with which
the backs of the United States paper money
was printed. This ink was invented by
Stacy j. Edison, and patented in 1857, as
antiphotographic. 1t could not be, photo,
graphed on account of its color, and could
not be dislodged by alkalies by the counter
feiters to get complete facsimile OF the
bills, and as it was a secret known only by
the American Bank Note company and the
inventor, it was impossible to counterfeit
the greenback money. 1t was used by
many banks before the war, but was never
a leading feature in the bill but even If the
composition of ink had been known, 1T
would have been Of no use, as the work
could not be copied from the genuine bills
with any kind Of inks. The date OF the
patent could be seen on all the bills, IN
small print Old General Spinner wanted to
have Congress enact law making the coun-
terfeiting of national notes a capital offence,
as was once the case in Great Britain, and
to have them bear the legend which had
been on the bills then issued by the Bank
of England: ''To Counterfeit is Death. ~
