Henry Grady's Advice.

My son will be just about your age
when you are just about mine, and I
have got to looking at you as sort
of prefguring Of what my son may be,
and of looking over you and rejoicing
in your success. Let me write to you
what I would be willing for you to
write to him.
Never gamble. Ofall the vices that
enthrall men this is the worst, the
strongest and the most insidious.
Outside of the morality. of it, it
is the poorest business and the
poorest fun. No man is safe who
plays at all. It is easier never to
play. I never knew man, gentle
man and man of business, who did not
regret the time and money he had
wasted in it. A man who plays poker
is unfit for every other business on
earth.
Never drink. I love liquor and I
love the fellowship involved in drink
ing. My safety has been that I never
drink at all. It is much easier not to
drink at all than to drink little. If
I had to attribute what I have done
in life to any one thing 1 should
attribute it to the fact that I am a te-
totaler. As sure as you are born, it
ia the pleasantest, the easiest and the
safest way.
Marry early. There is nothing that
steadies a young fellow like marrying
good gill and raising family. By
marrying young your children grow
up when they are pleasure to you.
You feel the responsibility oflife, the
sweetness of life, and sou avoid bad
habits.
IF you never drink, never gamble,
and marry early, there is no limit to
the useful and distinguished life you
may live. You will be the pride OF
your fathers heart and the joy of your
mothers.
I don't know that there is any ap-
piness on earth worth having outside
of the happiness of knowing that you
have done your duty, and that you
have tried to do good. You try to build
up. There are always plenty others
who will do all the tearing down that
is necessary. You try to live in the
sunshine. Men who stay in the shade
always get mildewed.

pulled the trigger twice, but it failed to
60 off each time. he then examined
the pistol to see what was the matter,
and then pulled the trigger the third
time. It discharged this time, and the
ball went through the window, but
came very near hitting a passenger.

negro managed to draw his pistol, but
was prevented from using it by the
interference of the conductor. The

! put off in the woods, while the white
man was allowed to ride along with
the girl.

THE EARTH TREMBL ED.
A Terrible Disaster in One of the Great
Cities of Japan.

LONDON, October 2S.-A private tele-
gram, dated Hiogo, reports a disastrous
earthquake in Japan. A severe shock
was experienced at Osaka. a seaport
town of $4,000 inhabitants on the Is
land of Hondo, and in many things
one Of the first cities of Japan. The
destruction of life and property was
very great. So severe was the shock
that number of houses were thrown
to the ground, and many occupants
were caught in the falling buildings
and crushed to death. A large number
of persons succeeded in escaping from
their tottering homes only to meet
death in the streets.
There is no means at present of esti-
mating the total loss of life. In fact the
details of the catastrophe are very
meagre, as all telegraph wires in the
districts affected were broken by the
falling of poles. The dispatch, hover
ever, states that it is known that in
Osaka alone the death list contains the
names of tt hundred Of the residents
Of that city.

THE KIND OF FARMING THAT PAYS.
how William Z. Kennedy Built His Own
Sub-T-easnry.

From the New York Evening POST
A type of the prosperous farmer in
the South is William L. Kennedy, Of
Falling Greek, Lenoir County, North
Carolina, who began life with nothing
and now enjows an income Of $1,000.
His experience might be studied with
profit by those farmers of the North
and West who are deploring their lot
and complaining Of the war Kennedy
was IS years old. He had carried q
musket for two years, and returned
home to find the family fortunes
broken. Uncomplainingly he went to
work as day laborer on his fathers
plantation. After what might be.
termed an apprenticeship of four years
he became ambitious to farm on his
own account. A 300-acre farm was in
the market, and, as payment could be
made by installments, young Kennedy
bought the property. The price was to
be $50 an acre. By dins of hard work
this was paid for in a few years, and
Mr.. Kennedy now owns two planta-
tions Of about 1000 acres each. He puts
in all kinds of crops, and sells every
thing that can be produced on a South
ern farm. He plants 200 acres of cotton
and obtains 500-pound bale to the
acre. One hundred and sixty acres are
given to corn, 40 to wheat, Is to oats
and l25 to native grasses. Peas and
potatoes are extensively cultivated, the
peas being sowed on wheat and est
stubble. He has 6 herd of 100 cattle,
and milks 25 Jersey cows. Every year
he sells $500 worth of butter. His pigs,
of which he feeds about 125, bring him
in a snug sum of money. With tur-
keys Mr.. Kennedy has great success,
many Of the gobblers weighing forty
pounds when they were killed. He
feeds them on wheat bran and clabber.
Twenty men and their wives and chill.
dren are employed on the home plsn-5
tation, the other being leased on shares.
Each man has house and garden free
and is paid As cents a day. The wo-
men and children receive from 20 to 40
cents day. 1t is unnecessary to say
that Mr.. Kennedy does not raeddle
with politics.

fIOu Luc Id OSllS DIAL.
A careful investigator of the subject

ing "expense account" which is de-
clared to be "below the actual figures,
if anything" "The cost Of raising an
ordinary boy for the first twenty years
of his life is here given: Per year for
the first five years, all expenses, 500,
or $500 in all; $3.50 per year for the
next five years; 5000 per year for the
third five; $500 per year for the next
three years, and $500 for the next two,
or a total of $4,150 outlay by the time
the boy is of age and able to hustle for
himself.n We hope the Star subscribe

by promptly renewing their subscrip-
