Hard on Cam ii

This is a short story that Cambridge
people may not find exactly humorous.
1t is told, however, concerning a bright
youngster who lived among them for his
nine short summers, and by reason of
the cultured atmosphere he breathed
and the experimental systems he was
brought up on ought either to have
been lead or one of their own. But he
detied both these fates and in due course
received his reward by moving into Bos-
ton. Here he at onc found congenial
companions and no doubt began to
contract those unfortunate habits of
speech that indirectly led to this tale.
One day his papa heard him using Ian
guage that no nice little boy, especially
a university town boy, is supposed to
know the meaning of.
Teddy" said his stern parent. never
say that again; it's swearing, and God
will hear you and be very much dis
pleased"
well, I'll go down cellar" said the
youngster detiantly. then | guess he

"Yes, he cam" insisted the devout
man.

"Then," announced the youngster,
with the triumphant air Of one who set
ties the question, I'll go to Cambridge,
for I'm sure he's not there. "-Boston

PerpIexity Of Il Polite Man Who Lost
His Equilibrium in a Street Car.
l took them for a newly married ou-
pie. Certainly if she had been married
very long she would have known bet
ter.
They got on a south bound Clark
street car at Goethe street. She was
slender and graceful, and had large,
fetching dark eyes. He was extremely
polite. He helped her ON the car very
tenderly, and after riding two blocks he
jumped up the instant a very feshy Ole
lady entered the car and offered her his
seat, with a low bow-a sure indication
that he was just married and doing it
for effect.
Then he hung on a strap and bent
down and kept up the conversation,
which seemed largely made up of irrele-
want remarks and highly relevant
chances. Presently he discovered that
he could stoop lower if he let go the
strap.
He had just availed himself of this
discovery when the train swooped around
the curve at Illinois street. He flung up

grab for the strap, swayed gracefully
half around, and sprawled out over the
fat old lady's lap as the car stopped.
His pink and white cheeks turned scar
lei. He scrambled half way to his feet
and began, Il beg
Just as be was in the act Of re-estab-
fishing his equilibrium and simultane-
ously uttering the apology, the car gave
the sharp jerk and quick, strong pull OF
starting. He clutched the ~incorporeal
air and went down with the words on
his ~lips-fat, full length on the beastly,
muddy floor. 1t was too bad, but every
body laughed.
Yes, she laughed. She put her slim,
black gloved hand, with a film Of scent
ed handkerchief in it, up to her mouth
and her black eyes danced at him.
He got up, scowled very darkly at the
gentleman who had said "Whoop-e-e!'
as he went down, and washed a patch Of
mud off his coat sleeve. Then he looked
at her laughing eyes. For an instant he
tried to look amused: then he straight
ened his face out severely and went over
and looked out of the door.
AS he started llLO tuo Iullncl he iOCkGu
around. The handkerchief was still at
her mouth and her body swayed slightly
as from a repressed emotion. A deep,
straight line came into his forehead
and he stepped a little farther away.
Half way through the tunnel he looked
around again. The instant she met his
eye she dropped the handkerchief to her
mouth just in time to suppress a ripple
of laughter. He went out on the plat
form and banged the door behind him.
AT Madison street he opened the door
walked out. She looked over her shout
der into his face as she passed him, but
there was an irrepressible twinkle in her
eyes, and he stepped to the ground after
her without unbending .-Chicago News.

Let the Governor Help:

The DURHAM GLOBE proposes to give
$3.50 to an exhibition at the Worlds fair
and label it North Carolina" if no
other man or individual donates a penny.
But The GLOBE hopes, and so do we.
that there will be a great many more pen
MES in the form Of substantial checks
contributed fer this purpose, and that
North Carolina will have an exhibit at
the Worlds fair that will do the state
credit. But how is this to be brought
about? 1t occurs 10 The Citizen that the
governor would be the proper person to
give the thing a start. A powerful ad-
dress from him might awaken the peo-
pie to a full realization of what North
Carolina must miss if it is not so gener-
ously represented at Chicago as to at
tract the attention of a goodly percen-
tage of the visitors. Atthe present time
we are not going to anticipate the gov
ernor and point out the immense advan-
tages that such an exhibition as that at
Chicago will be sure to afford. We are
only going to remind the people of
Asheville that it will be a curious COM
mentarY on their good sense if they fail
to see what the furthermost nations of
the earth already see, and are acting
upon, that the fair at Chicago will GER
tainly be the greatest the world has ever
known-greatest not only as a show,
but as a means of making money, of ad.
ding to our population and to our
wealth.
1t will not be anticipating the governor
if we say that there should be an Ashe-
vile exhibition whether there is one for
North Carolina or not, and it is also
proper and timely to remind all who are
interested-and who is not ?-that much
more of delay means that we shall be
shut out altogether, Already the fair
managers have begun of necessity to re-
fuse more space to some foreign exhibit
tors who see-what if we see WI have yet
to act upon-that the Worlds fair at
Chicago is an opportunity that comes but
few times in the life of any one genera
ton.
AS to THE DURHAM GLOBES $3.50, may
it get three cyphers to it, and on the
right side, too. More power to Fairbro-

The CameI's Endurance,

How the Peach Was Produced-

That the luscious peach has been de-
rived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. 1t is
said that the peach in it's original soil
was a virulent poison, and that the Per-
sian warriors brought to Persia some of
the seeds and planted the&a for the pur-
pose Of poisoning the points of their ar
rows SO as to render wounds caused by
them to be fatal, but achange of climate
and soil produced a fruit which is not
only luscious, but is esteemed exceeding
ly healthful. Chicago Tribune

The Right Track.
fOxfOrd Day.

Will North Carolinians be content for
the State to be represented at the Worlds
fair by the exhibit of the Agricultural
Department only? We should have a
building of our own, and we should make
a show which will compare favorably
with those made by our sister states.
THE DURHAM GLOBE is on the right road.
The newspapers of the state must pitch
in and work to raise a fund.

Worlds Fair Fund.
IOxfOrd Day,1

Such an exhibit as the state agricul-
tural Department will make at the Co.
lumbar fair in Chicago ought not and
will not satisfy the people of North Car
DINA.
We want a building of our own on the
grounds-one constructed entirely of ma
tive woods-something handsome in style
and finish-a place where visitors from
the Old North State can meet and regis
lister and take their friends-a structure
that strangers will notice and admire and
talk about.
At least $4,000 is needed.
The legislature made "a feeting show"
of enterprise and progressiveness "for
mans delusion given"
Committees have met, discussed,
planned and accomplished nothing.
The last resort is for the newspapers
of the state to pitch in, and appeal to
generous, patriotic citizens for contribu-
tons to a Worlds fair fund.
THE DURHAM GLOBE takes the lead,
Col. Al Fairbrother subscribes $3.50,
which is promptly supplemented by
ST. 600 from the Blackwell Tobacco COM
pany.
Oxford ought to give it something
Ought to help in this good work.
Send the money to Col. 81. G. Cooper,
cashier of the banking house of J. G
Cooper & Sons, who will take care of it.
Acknowledgements will be made in

writer last week that he had taken
on an average forty drinks OF whiskey
a day for years, and had been drink
ing altogether for more than twenty
years. He went to EXceisiorSprIngs
without much, if any, faith in the
Kelley cure. After three days treat
ment he lostall desire FOR whisI,ey. He
attributed this as much TO the min
eral waters as to the Kelley treat
ment at first, but when weeks, and
then months, passed without any de-
sire whatever for drink or rstimulants
of any kind, he concluded that there
"must be something in it," and he is
now dividing his time between talk
ing "Keeleyism" here and visiting

some two or three pistol shots were
fired through the windows, but none
OF the gamblers were killed, or at
least We have not heard of any of

The sports found it rather difficult
to continue the game where rocks,
bullets and flying pieces of glass
were so thick, and abandoned the

The remedy is tough and quite
damaging to property, but then the
disease is equally as bad as the
remedy.
According to the old adage ex-
treme diseases require extreme rem

The city offers $50 reward for the

threw the rocks, in the hope, no
