His Own.

We fashion with our own weak hands the
tree
Whereon our souls must bleed. We lift
the gall
Of hate to lips that thirst for love. For all
Sad hearts that beat there is a Calvary,
And through all time, cen to eternity,
The shadow of the cross looms high. Some
eyes
There are that do behold the jewelcd skies
OF peace that smile above the tragedy;
Some placid brows that wear the thorns in
sweet
Serenity: some lips that bravely sing
OF love and hope and life when eyes grow
dim,
And death, the beautiful, waits near the
feet
For neither hight nor depth nor anything
In time OF spa.e can keep Gods own from
him.

keep ones promise late than never.
The fact is, since came to Minneapolis

Upon leaving Rapid City fell in with
the venerable Mr.. Godllin and his two.
body servants, the Boyd brothers. The
former was on his way to spend his ten
years vacation at Sioux Falls, free from
the cares and anXicties OF this outer
world. OF this fact he seemed to be
fully convinced, being as jolly and jovial
as anyone on the tram. In thei com
pany was also one whose "brain works
were somewhat out OF "whack." The
physicians OF Rapid City having RECON-
mended change OF climate, he went to
Yankton for possible relief.
Coming down through Nebraska
noticed that hay was almostas plentiful
as rocks in the Black Hills. Along Bas.
set and Newport hay was sold at S3.75
per ton on the track.
Corn is evidently more plentiful in
Nebraska than it is around Rapid City
as l observed a number OF parties husk
ing corn, which, if the demand had been
very great, they would have been likely
to have done some time ago. At Nor
folk, however, corn was sold at fifty
cents per bushel Norfolk is a very
lively place considering the times.
Minneapolis is continuing her wonder
ful growth, although the realcstate mar
ket has been somewhat dull. The past
season has been one OF life and general
activity, very few or no idle people il
consequence. An improved elcctri,
street car system is in operation, lines
crossing the city in various directions
Also one connecting the twin cities, ths
fare between same is ten cents. 'Tlt
weather has been and is very mild ant
scarcely any snow, something very un
usual for Minnesota, this time OF tn
year.
During a short visit to Wisconsin las
week, was told that great activity wa
expected in the lumber woods this win
ter, rs soon as snow falls. This give
employment to a great many, who, bu
for that would be idle.

VERY GREEDY,

This from a standing wall in the bat
tered wreck known as the State Chroni-
Gle is refreshing to people:
1t costs upwards of $500 a week to
print such a paper. We have faith that
the thoughtful men of North Carolina
will appreciate the paper sufficiently to
give a subscription list large enough to
justify so large an expenditure.
Be it known that the poor old Chroni-
Gle receives upwards of four thousand
dollars a year from the taxpayers for
doing nothing, practically, and yet it begs
for more pap or more patronage.
There never before was a newspaper
that would yelp and howl for support in
the manner which the poor old Chronicle
has adopted.
Its begging howl is an admission that
it is without merit. 1t occupies the same

Norfolk Va) Landmark.

Our plain speaking contemporary, THE
GLOBE, of Durham, n. c., says of the So
called Interstate Exhibition at Raleigh:
"THE GLOBE makes bold to say that
there is no Southern exhibit. 1t proposes
to say that the whole thing is a humbug,
viewed in the light of a Southern ex-
hibit."
The Sun, of the same town remarks
mildly:
"We will say this much, candidly and
honestly. AS a Southern Interstate Ex-
position it is not a success, because the
southern states that pledged themselves
to go into it have not done their duty.
But that is no reflection on North Caro-
lima. Our state is doing, and will do her
duty. See if she don't"
Now, to come right down to good sense
and every day wisdom, isn't this thing Of
exposition building on paper and other
wise becoming somewhat of a fraud, any
how? We are much inclined to think so.

position as the mendicant on the street
asking for a dime.
The thoughtful men of North Carolina
will take The Chronicle. if they want it
but at the same time the thoughtful
men of North Carolina will see to it that
the state printing job is relegated to the
garnet of oblivion. The job will go, but
the beggar who has lived off the tax
PAYERS will not be forgotten.
While on this subject, it might be well
to say that the money which daniels gets
from the state in -four years, would make
an exhibition at the worlds fair. But
the legislature would throw away thou
sands of dollars to support a one-horse
newspaper man, and let our state so rich
in resources, be neglected in the greatest
expression ever known in the whole
world.
That is the truth gentlemen, and all
taxpayers should think it over.

Justice Out of Sight.
Wilmington Star

A couple of days ago we noted the
fact of a negro boy being sentenced to
eight years in the penitentiary in Geor-
gia for stealing four pairs of socks,
worth about fifty cents. That was a
sample of so-called justice run to ex-
tremes. We don't know what the law
of Georgia is on petty larceny, but if it
requires such a penalty as that for such
an offence, it requires some making over
again. If the boy had knocked a man
down and pulled a pair of socks off his
feet the penalty'would hardly have been
more severe. But we have a case nearer
home, of some more Of this so-called jus
tice. THE DURHAM GLOBE, with sting
ing rebuke, notes the fact that a young
tramp printer, who sought work in that
town and was unable to obtain it, while
walking from there to Raleigh, and
hungry went into a field and pulled two
sweet potatoes to eat, was arrested,
brought back to Durham, arraigned be-
fore a magistrate, when he admitted
that he had taken the potatoes to eat be-
cause he vas hungry, and was bound
over in a bond of $25, which not being
able to give he went to Jail. And this
for two potatoes for a hungry boy. That
may be law but it would take a forty
thousand power microscope to find the
justice or humanity in it.
