GOOD NIGHT.

W hear it from a mothers knee, in echo down
the stair,
Outlines in notes of childlike glee, ofttimes at
close Of prayer.
We hear it at the garden gate. half whispered,
sweet and low,
While lovers iinger until late and loath cen
then to go.
We hear it said in gilded halls. where mirth
and gladness reign,
Where beauty glows and music falls in cSpti-
waiting strain.
We hear It ut the bedside. where dread rain
ana grief are known,
And tender minisI rations share with the strick-
en- and the lone.
We hear il when the sun of day withdra"s
from mortal sight;
What comfort. then. to hear and say. Good
night, dear heart" Good night"

WOMEN GET Off CARS BACKWARD

ries Are Usually Thinking of Walking
Back Over the Route.
After the woman had rolled over two
>r three times in the dust and made Il
'olun.inous display of lingerie. she strug-
ylei to her feet. Her face was very red,
ler back HAIR was terribly mussed and
ler draperies in most inartIS:R disorder.
She scornfuliy refused TO give her name
70 the conductor. who rushed to her as
sistance, and would not say whether she
was hurt - she turned to walk away
he conductor whlstied "go ate;nl." and
smiles began to show among the passen-
gers.
Shes like all the rest of EN-. was the
;onte1nptuous commentof the conductor
Is he jumped Oh the car
II never knew a conductor who
stopped his train at the right place"
neered a fat woman who overheard the
conductors remark Its the greatest
wonder in the world that more people
Ire not killed by thecarelessness of them
conductors They haven't a bit Of ac-
c~ommodation in their souls"
Ind you hear that womany' inquired
another passenger. She blames TIE
conductor for that woman's tumble and
will III all probability alight from the
;ar backward when she reaches her
destination. | have been Il close Oh
server of this perverse habit of women
who ride on the street cars. and believe
that | have solved the problem.
Why do they turn their faces the
wrong wayf | saw a theory advanced
the other day in a newspaper that left
handed women were never seen to take
! tumble because their stronger arm
aided them to retain their balance when
alightlng. But it really makes no differ
silce whether u woman Is left OF right
handed She gets on a car and tells the
conductor to let her off at Twenty-first
street She has been down town shop
ping and Is in a hurry to reach home.
All the time the cable is pulling her
holHeward she keeps thinking of how
much she will have to do when her jour
ney is ended. The conductor yeils
'Iw%enty-tirst street,
She is aroused with a start from her
study. intent only on getting off the car.
You have noticed, no doubt, that II cable
train always passes "a crossing before it
stops. There is the whole secret of a
woman's many tumbles. She would be
safe and happy if the conductor would
only stop the train so she could step off
at the right spot exactly. But the car
passes the crossing, and unconsciously
she turns her face in the direction she
wishes to go. Ii she would wait until
the car stops all would be well. but the
thought that she is being carried past her
destination makes her hurry Before the
car stops, she thinks of the few extra
steps she will have to take if she is
carried any farther and jumps off
You know the rest. and there is the true
reason why 80 women in leo get off a
street car backward. The lO0th woman
is OF the real seat of the last car and
steps off at tho right ace."-Chicago

the average for the season.
WINTER WHEAT.
REPORTS show that early.sown winter
wheat has generally come hrouRh inc
winter IN fairly good condition, while the
late-sown wheat was In rather oao conu'-
tion. Both have improved considerable
during the past two or three weeks. The
comparatively dry weather during March
has permitted following to be general,
come gardening has been done even IN the
central counties.
In Roanoke county above the average
amount of ground is being prepared Tor
spring oats and for corn, and in Surry
county the oat and potato crops nave
been seeded.
The grass is beginning to come out rap
IDLY, and the buds are swelling. The con-
tinued cold. or comparatively cool. tenn
peroture during the entire season since the
middle of November has no doubt proved
beneficial to the fruit buds. and there is
now a reasonably good prospect for a good
fruit crop OF everv kind. II IS thought
that every planter has been enabled 70
prepare and seed their plant-beds. but all
OF our correspondents failed to state the
condition and prospects for that crop. It
is expected that q full report can DO made
