ORIGINAL COMPOSITIONS.

fright Young Minds and How They
wrestle With Given SUBJECTS.

Ing, what, Tor instance. 0sHid very
youthful fsipds make OF "Edueation?"
A small Girl who conscientiously APP
piled hcrsslf IL the task finally pro-
duced the valuable idea that "Educa-
tion is very good thing, and one which
every child should be taught"
"Whale ships" wrote boy, who had
d more congenial subject, ''are large,
and have an hold in which q lubber is
stored" If landlubber, this Is scarcely
to be wondered at; but the compositions
maker was evidently writing of blub-
Der under q wrong name. Another
youth said that Julius Caesar invented
Great Britain, 55 B. c." while an equal
ly accomplished historian explained
that "Ethelred the Unready was called
that because he was never ready for the
Danes. He used to entice them away
from England by bribing them, but
they used to come again and demand a
larger bribe."
VIM. Rufus would certainly deny, II
he had the power, that "he was gored
to death by n stag in the his father
had made to hunt the deer;" and Joan
of Arc would hardly have liked to hear
that "she was the daughter
Of rustic French peasant which
lived in the forest" Prince William
was drowned in butt of Malmsey winc;
he never laughed aguin"-a result
which no reasonable person would find
fault with.
A boy whose subject was plum pud-
ding, and who was evidently acquaint-
ed with it before it appeared on the
table, undertook to describe how It was
made, and after mentioning variety
of queer ingredients, he added: "When
they have put all these in they make 1t
into batter. and mix it up; and when
they have finished battering it they put
1t on the fire for about an hour and q
half to get it done enough, SO that It
will be better to eat, and softer to
chew"
A thoughtful little parsonage declares
that "a stonemason's work is injurious,
because when he is chipping he breathes
in all the little chips and they are taken
into the lungs" We are also informed
that "there are five ways of cooking po-
tatoes, and we should die If we eat our
food roar" A practical girl advises:
"When roasting q piece of meat, put 1t
in front of brisk fire so as to congrat-
ulate it."
Another thinks tive should not eat SO
much bone-malzing food as flesh-malzing
and warmth-siving foods, for if we did
we should have too many bones, and
that would make us look funny liar.

Lace Making and Knitting Taken Up by
Society's Dariings.
One of the fads of the present season,
and one which promises to become more
or less popular among the ladies, is the
manufacture of their own trimmings
for underwear.
In England and France during the
last season, at the afternoon teas and
at the meetings of the ladies' clubs and
societies, the making of lace was dis
tinctly popular. The ladies who visited
abroad have come home, bringing with
them dainty patterns, and the disease
is sure to spread. The knitting and
crocheting of lace is the most liked o.
these occupationR.

OF Nome.


Brilliant Surroundings Of the Baby King
Napoleon said at St Helena: "Marie
Louise had short reign, but she must
have enjoyed II; the world was at her
feet" And the proudcst moment of her
brief sovereignty was when the little
son was born.
Surely no infant ever had SO bright a
golden spoon in its mouth. What be-
ginning for fairy story!-"There was
born in most powerful empire a young
prince. His father was an emperor and
king, his mother an empress, tho
daughter of an emperor, and WAS like
wise queen and an nrchduchess. His
grandfather was an emperor, his unclcs
and aunts were kings and queens, and
he himself was a prince imperial and q
king even before he could speak"
What fortune will the seers predict
for the child? His father was sure that
prince imperial was too petty title for
this heir of Europe and the glory of its
conqueror. No modern title was grand
enough, and they went back to the
days of the world rulers-thc Roman

been known as liking Of Rome" and in
default of greater title, the little Ma
poleon was so called.

been described rs "the last smile of

a Couple of Indian Experiences In tho
Wilds of the Far West.
Speaking of surprises" said pion-
Ger to an Examiner reporter, reminds
me OF something that happened back
in $50, AMI which illustrates my point
that n surprise is dcmoralizing to the
best of men. An emigrant train com.
posed of men from the eastern states,
had travelled across the plains with
their wives and children. There were
fifty-four nble-bodied men in the party,
and their bravery had been thoroughly
tested on the way across the continent.

fornia, the land of gold. The fact that
they were so near their journeys end
made them careless, and all thought of
the Indians was forgotten. No guards
were posted, and the men stacked their
guns agninst one of the wagons. Men,
women, and children were gathered
about the cnmp-fres, resting after
pard days journey.
Suddenly they were attacked on all
tides by what seemed to be large band
of Indians. The horses were stampeded
and men were shot down as band of

These brave emigrants, who had fought
their way safely SO far against greatly

in their efforts to get away. Not q
man of them thought of resistance, but
fed, terror stricken, without even a
thought for wife or little ones. The
train was scattered and it was several
days before the fngitives came together
again.
'Twelve piute Indians, for it was
afterward ascertaincd that the band
contained that many, routed ffty-four

Word Comes.

Come to think about it. we are get
ting in the nighborhood Of Christmas.
There was such big frost yesterday
morning that some of the youngsters
were out hunting to see if Santa Claus
was out collecting the wee little letters
that were sent up the chimney. The
crisp air and the bright sunshine gave
a decided Christmas color to every
thing.
Or course you are not too old to feel
the thrill Of these Christmas symptoms.
The man or woman who gets too old
for such feeling is very old, indeed
older than anybody we have ever seen
older than the oldest inhabitant,
older than George Washington's ia
nous body servant.
These glorious Christmas symp-
toms come as warning. If you have
been frowning over the state Of the
country, OR the hard times, the season
sends word ahead that you are to
straighten your face and put on
smile of serene cheerfulness. Hard
times What is the good Of thinking
about hard times when it takes so
little to make people happy? Espe-
cially little children. Wealth by itself
doesn't make anybody happy. Money
is mere moonshine. But when wealth
has heart behind it to direct and
control it, then it is sure to make some
one happy. And it doesn't require
much wealth, but great deal of heart.
Get ready, therefore. Prepare to
be happy and to make somebody else
happy. Become a child with the chill
dren and try to initiate a real Santa

Life as One Editor Finds It.

However black a cloud may be, some
part of its ragged edge is apt to wear d
fringe OF silver. However dark the might,
a little star will sometimes shylv twinkle
from the sable riffs. And however hard
the times and cheerless the Christmas
prospect for the average mortal, a rain
bow OF promise bids hope revive. With
neither turkey, oysters, pie nor pudding
in prospect, a week ago our Christmas
promised to be a bitter mockery, Il
shameless sham and dreful delusion :
but since then the kaleidoscope of good
fortune brings to view bright visions OF
tempting viands and brilliant boards.
Two invitations to dine out have been
received. What care We ii no restless
turkey yelps around the house, and the

what used to be? The future is not a
blank by a iugful-or at least plateful.

Sudden Death Of an Excellent
Woman.

Mrs. Stephen Burroughs died sud-
denly at her home few miles from
Henderson last Thursday night. She
was apparently in sound health, ha-d
eaten a hearty supper and was sitting
i'll her room talking to one of her little
boys at the time when her head sud-
denly fell to one side and without a
struggle life was extinct. Mrs. Bur-
roughs was about 50 years old and
leaves a husband and nine children
besides host OF friends to mourn her
sad and sudden death. She was a
most excellent woman. kind hearted,
sympathetic and charitable and was,
greatly beloved in the community
where she lived. A near neighbour
Mr.. J. l.. Kelly, who lives within three.
hundred yards, and who had known.
her intimately for many years, says
he never knew better woman and
more for charity. The poor and needy
sick and distressed always found in her
ready sympathizer and willing help
No one, white or black, was ever
turned from her door empty handed.
The death OF such a person is sincerely
lamented by those who knew 10y best
and the love and esteem in wi..rh She
was held were testified in the respect
paid to her memory by the number of
persons present at the funeral. The
body was inferred in the church yard
at Harris Chapel, Dabney, of which
Mrs. Burroughs was faithful and
consistent member. Saturday. the

A Reminder Of Other Days.

A few days ago in looking over a
lot of old papers and letters for the
purpose of getting some Confederate
stamps for friend, Gen. w. H. Cheek
found among others one which we asked
permission to publish. 1t was letter
written to his wife Immediately after
the battle of Chamberlain's Run, about
one mile west of Dinwiddie Court
House, Va, in which engagement the
First North Carolina Calvary acquit-
ted themselves with such CONSPICUOUS
gallantry The battle Of Five Forks,
at the head of the run, was fought the
next day by Pickett's Division. John
and Ais. mentioned in the letter were
our townsman John 7. Jones, brother
of Mrs. Cheek, and Ais. Cheek, now
living in Kentucky, brother of the
writer. The letter is brief, character
istic of many written home from the
field of action in those trying times,
but it contains much. 1t is we'll to
occasionally refresh our memories and
call to mind the heroic deeds Of the
gallant North Carolina soldiers by
bringing to light such letters as these:
