she laughed, as ii to excuse the vanity
this speech represented.
1T is all very vel for twins to
dress alike providing they have fea-
lures exactly the same-in fact, are
counterparts one OF the other-but to
wear duplicate gowns simply because
you are sisters is horrid custom.
They may not look at all alike, and
what would be suitable and becoming
to one might be hideously ugly on the
other. There is everything in know

HOW TO COW A WASHER.

Glare at Him Through Pair Of
Lorgnette Glasses and See Him

He was a masher, and when the
swell girl got into the street car he
spotted her and began his operations.
He looked at her in evident admira-
tion, and in minute or two had ad-
ded a half smile. Soon he made this
full smile, quite tender and fetching
and wholly innocent and sweet. Then
he gazed awhile fondly and with a.

came nervous. She tried to conceal
her consciousness, but the Detroit Free
Press says, it grew into embarrass-
ment, and at last she was about to
leave the car when the lorgnettes she
carried in her belt came to her rescue.
She took them out, opened them,
brushed them with a dainty handker-
chief, set them on her naughty nose,
and turned upon her enemy He.smil-
ed as before, but only once. The
steely stare of those insatiate lorgnet-
ties had fastened itselfupon him. There
was no response il them to his wiles.
They were cold, cruel, tyrannical, in
Vincihle, irresistible.
He squirmed under their basilisk
glassiness and looked out OF the win
dow. But they followed him.
They crept over his helpless feet,
which seemed to him to extend clear
across the car; they followed slowly
up the faint gray line of his trousers;
they spread out over his cheerful-hued
vest; they grasped the lapels OF his
coat and Withered the rose in his but

they chilled his eyes; they rumpled his
hair; they marched in dreadful monot-

went slowly to- his feet and began
their awful work over again. But

CONFINEMENT IN NATURE,

z would not change my joys for those
OfEmperors and kings.
What has my gent e iricnd the rose
Told them, il ausiit. do you suppose
The rose that tells ME things?
What secrets have they had with trees?
What romps with grassy spears?
What know they of the mysteries
Ofbutterf:es and honey-bees,
Who whisper in my ears?
What says the sunbeam unto them?
What tales have brooklets told?
is there within their diadem
A single rival to the gem
The dewy daises hold2
What sympathy have they with birds,
Whose songs are songs Of mine?
DO they e'er hear, as though in words
Twas lipsed, the message of the herds
o. grazing, lowing kline?
4Ah mol Give me no lofty throne,
But just what Nature yields.
Vet me but wander on, alone
IF need be, SO that all my. own
Are woods and dales and fields.

The Wool Standard.

The Grange Advocate thinks that
Australia sets the wool standard.
It argues as follows: eve Americans
wool growers have to meet Australians
in our own wool market and NE have.
to do so on standards of their own
making. It is the fineness, length Of
staple and soundness of fibre, freedom
from grease, uniform pereenta or
shrinkage, and their system of grad
ingWGols that have brought, them into
favor with Observation-Disclosures. These
conditions OF feeces are reasonable
and Just. II we were exporters instead

LITERATURE OF ANCIENT TIMES

Alphabetlc Writing Known to the
Greeks Long Before the Time Of
Moses.
In Egypt writing and literature date
from the time before Abraham. We
have no monumental evidence OF any
time when she Acadian people OF
Babylonia were destitute Of writing
and science, and now we find that
there were learned scribes in all the
cities OF Canaan, and that the
Phmnicians and southern Arabians
knew their alphabet ages before
Moses, while, according, to the North
American Review, even the Greeks
seem tohave known alphabetic writ
ing long before the Mosaic age. These
men, III short, were descendants OF the
survivors Of the Noachian deluge, and
therefore civilized from the first.
Though we have no certain evidence
OF letters before the flood, except the
statement OF the author Of the Baby
lonian deluge tablets that Noah had
written archives at Sippera before
going into the ark, yet it is quite
certain that men who could build
Noah's ship are not unworthy an
cestors of the Phmnician seamen who
probably launched their barks on the
Mediterranean before the death Of
Noah himself. Thus whatever value
we may attach to the record in
Genesis, we cannot refuse to admit
that it is thoroughly consistent with
itself and with the testimony OF the
Oldest monuments Of Asia and Africa,
as it is also with the evidence OF the
geological changes of the Pleistocene
and early modern epoch. In like
Egg ptian Inscriptions of the conquests
OF Thothmes Ill. give US a premosaic
record OF Palestinian geography cor
responding with that Of the Hebrew
conquest, and the picture seiges coin
eide with transformations OF Petrie at
Lachish in restoring those Canaanite
towns, walked up to heaven" which
excited the ear of the Israelites.
Neither can we scoff al the illiteracy
of men who were carrying on diplo-
matte correspondence in written dis
patches before Genesis was compiled.

rufles and, whistling to his greyhound,
entered the gate,
Evidently his arrival had not been
observed from the house. The doors
were closed, but from an open window
to the right, where he knew. the sitting.
room to be, camethe sharp tones OF a
female voice speaking with consider
able asperity.
The doctor paused. He knew Dame
Wemple, and was aware that she was
yof somewhat uncertain temper-in
sfac5, a bit Of vixen. He had no de-
sire to face her in one OF her tenn
pestuous moods, and he stopped,
turned his back to the house, took a
pinch Of snuff, and finally drew forth
a paper and began to examine with
an absorbed air, as though informing
himself on some knotty point before
seeing his patient. While thus inteut
however, he found time to let his eyes
wander furtively over the prosperous
scene before him the gray barns
across the road evidently filled to the
caves; the orchard and cornfelds
stretching over the hills; the pastures,
with grazing, well-fed kline; and far to
his left glimpse Of the silvery Hud-
son as it lost itself in the dark peaks
OF the Highlands.
While thus engaged the good doc
tors ears were. not closed. He dis
tinctly heard every word that foated
from Dame Wemple's window.
"A pretty pass-a pretty pass, In
deed!" came in the unmistakablet tones
of Dame Wemple herself. 81 will have

"You know, mother, said a sweet
voice, chs mother and sisters APP

'Patriotic fddlesticks!' quoth
Dame Wemple. "What are they but

too young to know folly, but he must
never darken my doors Iagain. Let
me see no more tears no more oolish-
ness on his account. Now go to the
dairy and catch UP with the work you
have neglected. =
Silence ensued; and the doctor, after
waiting till assured that the domestic
scene was over, approached the door
and raped, with his silver-headed
cane. The door was opened by a
colored servant, and he was ushered
into the presence of Dame Wenlple,
who sat, propped up with pillows, iii

The Oppression Of Chinese Women.

Few Of them can read. It is common
for Cinnamon to have two or three
wives. When you go to his house you
do not see his wife. She does not

A friend OF mine was invited to q
Chinese dinner in Shanghai. He was
greeted by four Cinnamon and pretty.
printed and silly women who begged
presents of rings and breastpins from
the guests teased them for tfinkets.
The next day he spoke of meeting
some Chinese gentlemen and their
wives.

they were not swives. They were play

A BASE CONSPIRACY /!
Attempt Upon the Life of Assistant
superintendent Patterson.
Dynamiters at Their Deadly Work al
the County Home.
THE PLOT is HAPPILY DISCOVERED
Suspicious Looking Characters Visiting
the Place Will BE Searched
Before Entering.

Before Entering.
One of those fortunate circumstances,
which We now and then stumble upon
by the merest chance, prevented what
would have been sad tragedy at the
poor and work house at no distant day
in the future. The superintendent, Mr..
Leigh, while passing through the
"shack" picked up, what appeared to be,
two ordinary looking paper cartridges,
such as are used in a common breach
loading shot gun, both of which were
charged, capped and ready for USE He
handed them to one of the guards with
the remark that "Some of you fellows
have lost these, / guess" The guard,
thinking they were unusually light for
loaded shell, investigated and found both
of them filled with dynamite, each con-
tanning about two and one half ounces of
that deadly compound! 1t was also no.
ticed that the "shells" were of different
make from those used here-proof that
they had been fixed up, and placed here
| by outside parties with We'd to blowing
some one of the guards off of the terres-
| tial plain at short notice. The inference
is that the assistant superintendent, Mr.
James H. Patterson, was the intended
victim, from the fact that he carries, or
has carried the breach loading shot gun
the only one here. Another reason
for the supposition is: Mr.. Patterson
has incurred the ill-will of the convicts
by requiring each of those gentlemen to
do his full duty has adopted rules SINH
lar to those in vogue at the penitentiary !;
treats no one harshly, except the refrac-
tory ones, and then only enough to in
sure healthy discipline Mr.. Patterson
has had several years experience in
handling convicts, and thoroughly un'
derstands the business; the county
could not do better than to place its con-
Wat force permanently under his charge.
Had friend Jim fired one of those inno-
cent looking rtridges from the breach
loader, the stern realities of the life in
reserve would have Immediately been
his, as that quantity of dynamite would
have shattered his anatomy beyond the
reach of human aid Majo Jim says he
prefers the usual route to glory-none of
those short cuts for him 1t is not known
by, or through what means those diabol-
ical agents reached the place where
found though the suppositiOn is that
some one Of the discharged prisoners,
who had a grudge against Patterson,
sent them in through visitor. Here
after visitors will be subject to close
scrutiny, and all suspicious characters
will be denied admission to the prison
a very proper precaution.

A Dog that Goes Out for His breakfast
Every Morning.
One Of the reporters for THE GLOBE
lives il the Parrish house on North
Mangum street, outside the corporate
limits of the town, and for more than a
week, every morning shaggy looking
bird dog comes around for his breakfast
which the reporter could not help giving
and be never comes without bringing
something.
One morning he brought an old shoe,
another newspaper, another stick, ETC.,
but this morning he brought nice hat
tor the reporters little boy.
The owner can get the hat by calling
for it, for it it feard ii was not purchased
by the dog.
If the dog does not receive immediate
attention by the lady of the house he will
catch her dress in his mouth and lead
her to the safe, and when his hunger is
satisfied he goes away.
1t is not known who owns this re-
markable dog but he should be looked
after.

Night.
This morning at 8 o'clock reporter
met with a woman at the depot who
seemed rather communicative until she
was asked to give her name, whereupon
she became very indignant and said she
had never had man to ask her to give
her name at depot before.
He did not get the name, but learned
before the madam left that she had
preached to the colored people at Hayti
last.night.
She went from this place to Chapel
Hill to visit the churches and enlighten
the benighted at that place.
She had large ear rings dangling from
her ears and wore a goodsized mouth
within which is big tongue. She was
very neatly dressed and seems to be capa'
bic of fighting her own way through life
