Kindness Saved Him.

At a adinner-party, several yearsago,
in Washington, a story was told OF
the effects Of a single act Of kindness,
which may interest the boy readers.
About forty years ago young man
named Nye was appointed Judge OF
Common Pleas in one OF the rural dis
tricts OF New York. One day while
inspecting the county Jail he found
in cell. awaiting trial, boy OF
twelve, whose honest face attracted
him.
What is the charge against your
he asked.
Stealing" was the boys reply.
You are not guilty ARE your"
"Yes, am" he answered, to the
Judges amazement. With sobs and
tears the child told his story. The
winter had been cold, his old mother
was starving, and he had taken meal
from a mill in the neighborhood for
her food.
Judge Nye inquired into the facts
OF the case, and found that the boy
had reported them truly. He sent
for the district attorney.
This boy has been taught lesson
he will never forget, he said. III he
goes TO prison he will come out con-
firmed criminal. Suppose you enter
RoIle proseqm. Let us teach him the
lesson OF mercy"
But the attorney refused TO do so,
and declared that he would do all he
could to convict the boy. Appoint
him counsel, your Honor" he said,
and let him save him il he can"
Il will be his counselw exclaimed
the judge angrily.
AT the trial, therefore, when the
prosecuting attorney had set forth
the boys offence, and proved 1t by
witness, the judge rose aud stated the
facts to the jnry. Look at this child, "
he said. There is not one among
you who will blast his life and refuse
TO give him another chance In the
world"
The jury, without leaving the box.
acquitted the boy. Judge Nye pro-
cured an appointment for him at the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. lie
became skilled aud gallant seaman,
who won honor as an officer under
Farragut. When James Nye was
Senator from Nevada In Washington,
he met this man whom he had saved
from ruin at the dinner-table OF the
! President.
No hand but Gods can stay the
raging torrent when il Is OH Its final
work of destruction. But near its
spring, when it was tiny stream,
kindly hand could have turned It's
course into a peaceful valley where 1t
should have brought only blessing
aud happiness.
Is there no little child near us going
! to ruin, whom we can iit to be the
messenger of God : goodness.

Twill be Q Snap for Dentists.

1t will be great snap to be den
tist about the year 5000 a. ID. The
scientists tell us that as man becomes
more human he will lose his beastly
adornments. First, the hair next
the eyesight and sense OF smell, and,
according to Prof. Cope, at last be
come entirely toothless. Cooked
food is said TO be the cause OF the Jaw
becoming weaker and smaller each
generation. There In now no room
left for the wisdom teeth or the upper
incisors the wisdom teeth are retard'
ed, often cause great pain and de-
cay early. The second incisors put
out at the sides OF the gums, causing
"tusks :" especially Is this true az re-
CARDS Americans, they being liable to
imperfect development To n degree
wholly unknown among savages.
The same suppression has been obsery
ed In the outer pair OF superior In
cisors This is owing not only to u
reduction in the size Of the Jaw, but
to prolonged delay In the appearance
OF the teeth. In the same way men
and the manlike apes have fewer
teeth than the lower monkey. When
this difference in dentition has been
established, men may claim to be N
new species, apart from low savages
as well as from high apes.

QUICK EFFECTS OF The GOOD WORK
Real Estate Men Report tho Nest Ac-
tive Days Business This Fail-fore
Than 100000 Worth of Property
Changes Hands-Prices .of Real Es-
tate Tend solidIy Upwards.

Yesterday was lively day in Roa-
noke. Early in the morning the car
riages Of real-estate agents were
crowding the streets and driving in
long trains to the suburban districts,
giving the city decidedly active air.
The activity began Monday, and the
Gathering carriages robbed many a.
fellow of his morning nap yesterday.
No matter where you went the enter
prising real estate nan was there zoo.
From the general appearance OF
things any one who was unacquainted
with the events of the day preced-
ing, might easily have conjectured
that something extraordinary had
happened, was happening or was
about to happen, and not have been
mistaken in either instance. The
Roanoke and Southerl terminus had
been settled, Roanoke dirt was going
like hot cakes to hungry negroes, and
everything was getting ready for
big boom.
The real estate market was mo
active yesterday than it has been for
some time, and vast amount
changed hands. Prices were good
and the demand was lively. james
s. Simmons & Co.'S, soles amounted
to SG0,0OO,C. O'Leary, $40, 800, and Gray
u Boswell $21, 800, making total OF
1927, 1000 for only three firms. There
are at least forty real estate agencies
in Roanoke, and number of them
told the TINES man that business
was more active then it has been in
sometime. Messrs. Spindle & Miller
said they had been in business for
three months and yesterday was the
best day they have had.
While there was no great jump in
the prices, property went readily at
what it has formerly been held for.
and some of the agents expressed
doubt as TO whether property owners
would let all OF yesterdays transac'
tions go at the prices they had been
asking.
Property in any part Of the city
found reader sale, but that in the
Belmont addition and the West End
was more in demand The stir was
not observable only by the real estate
men, but was the talk of the town,
almost everybody attributing it to
the contamination of the Roanoke
and Southern matter.
Real estate men say that the Rca-
noke and Southern has been helping
to sell real estate here for a year, and
for the last two weeks has been brac-
ing up the market considerably. Yes
terday the rush came, and real estate
men are happy.
