ing some more, but they walked nearly
a mile. and were becoming very hot and
tired before they met with another.
All Of sudden. as they were passing
a cottage By the roadside, they were
startled by a deep, loud bark, and,
turning, they saw a big Newfoundland
dog bound over the front fence and
come dashing directly toward them.
Now, while Arthur was very fond Of
dogs that he vas acquainted with, he
was also very much afraid Of strange
dogs, especially big ones. and his first
impulse upon this occasion was to run
away. Then he remembered that he
was a prince and that princes we're al
ways brave. So he told Cynthia TO run
as fast as she could and hide in the
bushes. AS she did this the brave little
fellow turned bold front, though be
was trembling in every limb, toward
the enemy. The next instant the big
dog sprang upon him. threw him down.
rolled him in The dust and then stood
oves him, vagving husky tail and
barking with delight at what he had
done.
Arthur, who thought ne was certainly

to his feet. He was right under the
noses Of a pair Of splendid horses, and
behind them was a fine carriage. from
which a beautiful lady was just step

Arthur's hand. and led him away from

singing was always accompanied by a
slow rocking motion OF the body, and
finally the blue, tear-swollen eyes
would close. and the boy would drop OF
into a sleep full Of beautiful dreams in
which he always saw his own dear IA

happened, but her mother had no time
70 listen and only told her and the
other children TO come away from the
bad boy and not go near him again that
day.
Some days after this. when all the
others had gone OF a fishing expedition,
upon which they had refused to let
Arthur and Cynthia accompany them
the boy proposed beautiful plan 70 his
little cousin. He remembered his fairy
tales his own dear mother used to read
TO him and now he said:
''Let Us make believe We are prince
and princess, Cynthia, and 20 out into
the world IN search of adventures
Cynthia had not the remotest idea Of
what was meant by adventures but
she was willing to agree to any thing
that Arthur might propose.
So the two children set forth, and no
body noticed them as they went out OF
the front gate and walked. hand in hand,
down the dusty road.
They had not gone far before they dis

ging them not to hurt their baby,
Cynthia dried his wings and carefully
wiped the mud from his downy feathers
with her pinafore. Then Arthur
climbed over fence and gently placed
the little trembling thing down in the
soft grass on the other side.
Next they found yellow butterfly
whose pretty wings were all tangled in
a SPIDERS web. OF course, they set him
free, and had the pleasure Of seeing him
iutter joyously away. Arthur said these
were beautiful adventures, and both the
children looked eagerly forward to find.

Although he was thcsightful. mag

aud active for his age. He had learned
to read and write at his mothers knee,
and his father had. during the last year

was in refinement and ideas of honor. He
was so very different from them that
though be tried hard to love them and
make them love him, they, with the ex-
ception of little Cynthia, to whom he
was an ideal of perfection, united in
cordially disliking him.
This dislike was shown in every pos
sible way, and resulted in many heart
ache. and many an unjust punishment
to the lonely orphan boy. Many night
he slipped from his little cot bed in the
back shed. and, creeping to where
Uncle Phin slept in hay-mow in the
barn. poured his troubles with bitter
tears into the sympathetic ears Of the
old negro.

THE FAIR.
The Alliance some
suggestions.


The following are the names OF the
committeeman appointed by the Bun
combe county farmers alliance to meet
and confer with citizens and committees
of Asheville i'll reference to holding a
Western North Carolina fair in this city:
N. Plamondon, chairman Gen. X. b.
Vance, w. P. Cheseboro, J. N. Morgan
Mai. ID. A. Blackwell, {. B. Way, Capt
Child, Merritt Roberts, DR.. Cliff, John
Tweed, !. b. Cochran, W. S. Murray
Askew Curtis, ]. W. Nash and W. +,
Tomlinson.
Mr.. Plamondon, the chairman of the
committee, talked to THE CITIZEN yes
tcrday about the fair. He thinks Ashe-
vile and her business men should go to
work soon and meet the alliance com.
mittee, so that active work might begin.
In Mr. Plamondous opinion the city
could use the fair ground as park the
year round. The city has long needed q
park and in this way could get one at a
much less cost than otherwise. The
park, race course and fair ground would
be made easy of access by the street car
companies.
Mr.. Plamondon has in view several
points which could be converted into
splendid fair grounds. One is the prop
erty OF Richmond Pearson, north of the
city, another belonging to L. G. Carrier
on the west.
The matter has been taken up by the
alliance, and it now remains for Ashevillt
to take the matter in hand and do hel
part in carrying it to successful conclu
sion.

GOOD NEWS.
The Tower Lights to be Lighted
Perhaps Monday Might.

The towers are to be lighted
At last definite arrangements have been
made as to the tower lights with which
the Peoples light, heat and power COM
pany was to light the city.
The tower on court place has been i'll
use for several weeks, but negotiations
between the new company and the Ashe-
vile light and power company have hung
fire for some time.
1t was expected when the new company
secured the contract with the city that il
towers should be used, the triangular
towers would be put up instead Of the
kind used by the old company.
Mr.. G. B. Shaw, of Eau Claire, Wis,
came to Asheville last week to look into
the matter, and as a result of his visit ar
rangements were completed which in
sures tower lights to the city soon.
The city will rent from the Asheville
light and power company the three tow.
ers not now used, and will be responsible
to the company for the care of them
The towers will be leased to the Peoples
light, heat and power company by the
city. The consideration is to be $40 pei
year for each tower.
The city lights will then number sixty
including the sixteen tower lamps. These
latter will all be lighted as soon as the
lamps can be placed in position, perhaps
by Monday night.

A MOST WORTHY OBJECT.
THE w. G. r. U. MAKES AN AP-
PEAL, TO AsHEYILLE.

what the Union Desires to DO-.A
New House to he Built and sew
Ing and Cooking Glasses to be
Taught.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union received from Mrs. w. M. Cooke
two years ago, conditional offer of a
valuable lot on which to erect build
ing for their work. As they cannot re-
ceive deed till the building is begun and
partially completed they now appeal to
the friends of Christian work to aid them
in erecting this much needed house.
The union is now dependent on the
courtesy of the Y. M. c. A. for a room
in which to hold! the regular meetings,
and its desire to take up new lines OF
work cannot be carried out for want OF
suitable accommodations.
Foremost among these is a cooking
school, where girls who have not home
advantages may be taught the economl-
cal and appetizing preparation OF food
for these ladies realize that desire tor
alcoholic stimulants is often induced by
the lack of wholesome nourishing meals.
In connection with these lessons, lectures
on general housekeeping will be given,
and girls taught to make the poorest
home attractive, and thus lessen the
temptation to find enjoyment away from
home.
This school may in some degree meet
the want of housekeepers for well trained
help, for graduates of this school will
command wages which will induce them
TO engage in one of the most honorable
and necessary callings, without which
none can be well qualified for their res
pective duties.
A sewing school will be another i'm
portant department. This will proba
bly, be taught by ladies of the union who
will give an hour or two a week to this
employment, and be able to give such
counsel and encouragement as may
change for the better the whole of their
future lives. The pupils of the sewing
school will also receive lectures, with OBJ
ject lessons, on dress and general home
making.
In connection with these classes an in
telligence office is proposed, where pupils
who desire situations and have a diplo
ma of qualiicationsca can find the work fol
which they are fitted at standard wages
In this building also would be the cen
tral Office of the Flower mission, a brancl
of w. c. T. U. work well known in tht
city, from its general and thorough over
sight OF the poor, so that no sick or sut
iefing one need be uncared for.
The meetings of this important asso
citation are now held in the y. Nj. c, A
rooms, and its central Office, Copen daily
from 3 to 6 p. M is located in an oh
scure rented room. From the services il
has rendered this community it is deserv
ing of a pleasant, commOdous office
such as the W. {. T. u. building will at
ford
1t is in the hearts of these ladies to have
in the basement room for industrial
work for boys, and ii the citizens responC
literally to their call tor financial hel
it will be done.
