4 Successful Farmer. +.

The most successful farmer in North
Carolina is said to be Mr.. T. j. King, q
bachelor of thirty, residing at Louisburg.
He is called book farmer, because he
uses his brains and scientific knowledge
in his business.
In 1890 he produced 1880 pounds lint
three bales on one acre-the largest yield
ever known in the State.
At one of our Piedmont exopsitions
his exhibit covered 1000 square feet OF
space, and included sixty varieties of
corn, thirtyfour of cotton, forty-three
species of hay and grasses, ten of tobac-
co, ninety-six specimens of garden
crops, twenty two kinds of wine, l5O jars
of preserves, jellies, etc., with many
varieties of wheat, oats, peas and pota.

There is a general idea that the Pres

he receives, and that, when compared
with the salaries paid the sovereigns of
Europe, this sum is not enough. This is a
mistake. In addition to his salary, the
President receives S36, ,O64 to pay the sala-
ries of his clerks and subordinates. His

A Pleasant Parable.

"A long time ago there lived saint so
holy that the angels marveled at his
sanctity, and came from heaven to see
how any one On earth could 80 closely re-
semble them.
They found nothing extraordinary in
his life; he kept simply on his way, IN
consciously spreading the example of his
virtues as naturally as the stars give light
and the flowers give perfume.
Two words summed up bis day-he
gave and forgive; but these words were
never on his lips; you only read them in
his smile, in his amiability, in his kind
ness, in his uutiring charity.
The angels said to God, "Lord, grant
him the gifs Of miracles"
"Willingly," replied our Lord; task
him what he wishes. "
And the angels said to the saint:
"Wouldst thou have the gift of heal
ing, so that when thy hands touch an in
firm body it shall be healed?"
"No," replied the saint. II would
rather God alcne would do It,"
"Wouldst ttou have thy words win
back guilty soals and the erriug hearts to
God"
"No; that liz mission most unworthy
of poor creature like me; am satisfied
to prayI do not preach"
Finally the angels said, "What wouadst
thou have"
"Well," sale the saint, "let me do 8
great deal of good without knowing it."
The angels consulted together for q
while as to hoy this could be accomplish.
ed: then they asked our Lord to grant
that every Tina the saints shadow fell at
either side or behind him, 80 that he
could not see it, it should have the power
of curing the sick, consoling the afflicted
and comforting the sorrowful.
Our Lord assented, and wherever the
saints shadow fell thus the pathway
bloomed, the parched earth was refresh
ed, the turbid streams became pure and
limpid, the dying flowers revived; q fresh,
healthy ioomp came to the pale cheeks
of. the little children, and teaIs ofjoy to
the eyes of sorsowiDg mothers.
But the saint kept simply on his way,
unconsciously spreading the example OF
his virtues as naturally as the stars shed
light, as the flowers give ( srfume; and
the people, respecting bis modesty, 81
lently followed him, never speaking to
him of his rairacles. They gradually
forgot even hit name, and spoke of him
simply as "the holy shadow"

lasting from fse to ten minutes from the
time I discovered the two snakes until II
o'clock at night. Then at the cad of a
particularly long round, my friend and l.,
who had watched the fight without leav-
ing it minute, we're surprised to see the
kingsnake let 10 his hold on the rattler
and crawl to oae end of the room. But

dead as aestone.
"I know these two snakes bad been
fighting eleven hours. If the kingsnake
had turned over and died after all that |
would have thought no less of him. But
he didn't. He had started in to have a
meal on a rattlesnake, and he still pro-
posed having it. He lay in the corner
OF the room perhaps twenty minutes, and
then, without noticing my friend and my
self, glided oua toward the dead rattler.
He went up to it confidently, and begin
ming at the head, licked its body down
on one side clear to the tail, and we could
see thick, oily substance deposited on
the scales of the dead reptile. Having
fabricated one side the kingsnake re-
turned to the head again and licked the
body all the way down on the other
side. Then going back to the head the
kingsnake thrsw open his jaws and with
out any cerem ony began to swallow his
late sntsgoniss, though the rattler was
almost two feet longer than himself and
three inches bigger around. This was
too interesting aipfocess to miss, and We
made night Of it watching it. I am un-
able to say how that kiugsnake put that
rettler, so much bigger than himself, in
side of himself, but by 8 O'Clock in the
morning the last bit of the rattlesnake
had been forced into the kinganake's
stomach. But the kingsnske was sight.
He was about the shape of toad hSb,
and after the process of gorging was over
he seemed to be, and we thought he was,
as dead as the. snake he had swallowed.
But we let him lie. In week he began
to get smaller, and in three weeks he was
up and about, evidently looking for q
chance at another rattler. So We turned
him ont of the house and he went gliding
out on the prsirie with fire in his eye,
and I pity the frat rattlesnake he sight

EPWORTH LEAGUE CONFEREN ,E.
Worlds Fair officials Requested to Close the
Gates OIL Sunda.

CLEVELAND. June 30-"Look Up: Lift
Up" is the inspiring motto of the Epworth
League, and never did 1t seem more sppro-
pirate than to-day. when as perfect June
day as ever smiled upon this beautiful
city greeted the five thousand visiting
members Of the league as they arose this
morning and walked from the hOspitable
homes of their Cleveland hosts. All con.
ditions united in making the second day
of the great conference a brilliant success.
1t is estimated By the Epworth League re-
ceptlon committee that about ten thousand
visitors are In the CITY.
The morning session of the conference
was devoted to the children. the subject
being "The Junior League and the Literary
Department." The first speaker was Mrs.
Myra g. Plantz. ShO urged the importance
not only of teaching that certain pleasures
are wrong, but of furnishing substitutes In
the way of harmless am musements. She
said that most people. if not converted in
childhood, never converted. 1T is
true" said she, that great evangelists are
able to gain q large number OF cOnverte of
older years. but it is equally true that to
do so they generally are compelled to ad-
vertlse like Barnum."
Rev. DIR. Mills, of Elmira n. Y, said that
the EpwOrth League had struck the right
chord in bringing the children into the
churches and keeping them there Rev. b.
+. Dimick. pestOr Of the Epworth Memorial
Church, Cleveland. spoke briefly. After
this service n fraternsl service was opened,
with an address by Bishop Fitzgerald.
The afternoon session OF the convention
was opened by Rev. Henry Ostrom. of Mil
waukee. who led singing services and de-
vOtiOnal exercises. The president of the
afternoon was Rev. Dr. w. u. L. Cunning
ham, and the topic Supplementary Meth
DDS of Education" There were number
OF interesting addresses upon the question
under discussion. and papers were read by
the different speakers. The leading address
was that of Mr.. Robert K. Doherty. Pm. D.,
Of New York.
After the discussion upon education the
matter of opening the worlds fair on Sun
day was brought before the Epworth
League in general. A set of resolutions
had been drawn up praying the worlds
fair directors and officials to close the
gates of the fair upon the Sabbath day.
The resolutions were discussed at length
although the unanimous consent was for
Sunday closing. The prayer of the petit
TONERS in behalf of the entire Epworth
League was then mailed TO the officials of
the worlds fair. New York members of
the league are desir0us of attending the
fair before their return home. but it is said
that they will remain away if the directors
insist upon opening the gates on Sunday.

CHlLDREN'S CHORUS.
Its First Concert at Tomlinson Hall Graft
Tying Success

The first concert of the children's chorus.
under the direction of Mr.. +. X. Arens. was
given last night at Tomlinson Hall. Seated
were one hundred children, the girls in
white and light colored dresses and
curly locks and the boys in
their best suits and broad white col
lars pretty sight. At the grand
piano sat Mr. Arens, who was accompanies
as well as director At q given signal each
child raised the right hand ana beat time
for the song. At another each inhaled q
deep breath. and at q third simultaneously
began TO sing.
All sang to their very best ability. and
well. The drill which has been goin on for
weeks Was shown In every place. The at
tack was as good and better than hundreds
OF chorus oDoirs ca.n show. The phrssing
and shading were remarkably smooth and
correct. and. as for the enumeration, any
one who could not understand every word,
must surely have defective hearing. One
OF the most important points at re-
hearsals has been distinct speech. The
voices were tried before the mem bars were
admitted TO the chorus. so that every
voice has a right to belong. No one
has been allowed 80 strain the voice. end in
consequence there Is q freshness and purity
of tone. Some of the best voices were
chosen for the solo parts. The selections
dren sang them WELL They enjoyed giving
the pretty effects of winds" and "bees."
and birds" which were introduced. as
much as the audience enjoyed hearing
them. AS body of young songsters they
compared very favorably with the May fes-
tival chorus of experienced vocalists.
Little Miss Emma Buchtel, daughter of
Rev. II. A. Buchtsl. played two numbers
with taste and correct expression, the
small hands accomplishing the difficulties
easily and gracefully. Master John Bryan.
who sang the first verse in the REST Thee,
Dear One" by Schubert. has sweet voice.
as have Edith McFall and Ida Nicholson.
who had the other verses. Hazel
Lantz daintily sang Pretty Little

bors. was delightful. and Miss Lille
Adam, who has an unusual voice. and who
has been heard In churches and concerts,
sang Riley's There. Little Girl, Don't Cry"
music by Jordan. which WAS enthusiastic
cally received. Horace Lancaster is q
young orator of promise. who was heard to
advantage in two selections. How Sal
vator Won" and Home. Sweet Home" the
latter having chorus accompaniment in
the refrain. The ooneert was gratifying
from beginning to end.
