TUE COMING CITY.

The ZINES publishes a letter else.
where from Mr.. D. Il. Strouse, of Salem,
on the union Of Vinton, Roanoke and
Salem into single city. The letter is
valuable not alone that it CONVEYS the
sentiments of u prominent citizen, but
because 1T presents clearly and forcibly
the differences of opinion which may
delay the contamination of the union.
The points which are raised in Salem's
favor, Of better sewerage, ownership of
waterworks, income from franchises and
small Indebtedness, may fairly be offset
by claims of greater taxable wealth per
capita, and the vast advantages which
attach to Roanokes position as the most
successful and rapidly growing new city
of the South. However none of these
points, one way or the other, would
stand in the way of strong and mutual
public sentiment in favor of union. The
de- sire for marriage should take proceed
ence over any chickering's about the mar
riage portion.
Concerning Mr.. Strouse's conditions
precedent" every one of them would be
worked out to successful solution fter
the union. Not one of them fails to
arouse local prejudices, jealousies and
disputes SO long as union is unaccom-
plished.
Let 1T be emphatically proclaimed and
thoroughly instilled into the brain of
every citizen of the three communities,
that 1t is not Roanoke against the other
two. Union can only come il Vinton and
Salem desire it as ardently as Roanoke,
and If Roanoke is as eager for it as the
other two. 1t is OILY by thoroughly
looking into and approaching the benc-
fits of pooling of interests, now sepa-
rated and divided, that citizen of Roa.
noke, or Of Vinton, or of Salem can be.
come a unionist.
There are long headed men in each
town who have seen clearly for years
that union sometime in the future was
certainty. The great bar and the one
which will stand longest against union
is the lack Of public sentiment on the
subject. A favorable public opinion is
the great condition precedent to union,
and the earlier he subject is threshed

Kindness Not Appreciated.

A little incident that amused the pas
sengers in Brooklyn bridge car the
other day would seem to indicate that
the semi-tough young man with baby
in his arms does not appreciate polite
ness. AS the semi-tough young man is
seldom seen carrying a baby it might,
however, be hard to prove the rule.
But this one was carrying baby, and
the tired looking woman with him was
Juggling bag that looked twice as
heavy as the baby. The woman was
the first to see the only vacant seat in
the car and dropped into it, And then
a dapper young fellow who had been
reading intently looked up, and his gaze
fell first on the baby.
He apparently didn't notice that it was
a man holding the infant, for he jumped
up, lifted his hat, and said, "Please take
my seat, madam" The fellow with the
child scowled, but all he said was: eff
yer speakin' to de kid, dat's all right,
but if yer speakin' to me I'll smash yer
face. See?' And he stood up all the
way over, looking as if he felt much in
sulted.-New York Times.

Took Him a Long while to Sc. It,


A man who returned not long ago
from stay of several months in Lon
don has some funny stories to tell of his
experience with British wit ''The mind
of the Briton is solid, but Slow" he said,
''and when it comes to his appreciation
of a joke he can be trusted after while
to get to it, but the process is slow.
This story is a capital illustration of
what l mean: One day I went into a
book shop on the Strand and asked for
Hare's Walks in London In America
the book is sold in one thick volume; the
clerk brought it IA two. 'Oh,' said, as
1 looked at them, you part your Hare in
the middle, do your
81, sirY' he said with a bewildered
look; "oh! no, SIR"
saw he didn't see the joke, so
didn't explain, but bought the books and
went away. A.week later I entered the
same shop. AS soon as the clerk saw
me he rushed from the back of the shop
laughing vociferously, and seized me by
the hand:
"Good" he shouted. "Capital; part
your Hare in the middle that's capital,
sir; capital"

self, and it didn't take me week to find
it out, either.-New York Evening Sun.

Babv ia Sick.

The woeful expression of Des Moines
teamster's countenance showed his deep
anxiety was not entirely without cause,
when he inquired of druggist of the
same city what was best to give baby
for cold. 1t was not necessary for him
to say more-his countenance showed
that the pet of the family, if not the
idol OF his life, was in distress. "We
give our baby Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy" was the druggists answer.
81 don't like to give the baby such
strong medicine" said the teamster
"You know John Oleson, of the Waters
Talbot Printing Co., don't your" in
quired the druggist. "His baby, when
eighteen months old, got hold of bot
tile of Chamberlain Cough Remedy
and drank the whole of it. OF course
it made the baby vomit very freely, but
did not injure it in the least, and what
is more, it cured the baby's cold. 1t is
not necessary to give poisons to cure a
cold, or for Group either" The team

now satisfied that there was no danger
in giving it even to baby.

A SNOW FANCY.
The yeFlow efrted things Of juno

The yellow gfrted things Of juno
Whose hum is like e dull bassoon.
Sweet homes they have on swaying bed
When are unpacked the clover heads
Those bursting globes of purple fire.
The fuzzy coats upon each spire
OF blossoms perch, to search the rim
Lest it with honey overbrim.
But unlike these the wild, white bees
That swarm upon the leafless trees;
For our dull ears they have no song,
They do not to the earth belong.
No stirring of the soft white wing
Was ever heard or fluttering.
Although the darkened air they crowd,
Their happy hive is in the cloud,
And they for the sky children there
In unseen pastures Of the air
Distil the dew. o happy bees
That swarm among the winter trees.
Annie Bronson King in Century.
