A Drunken BILLY Goat"

Concord Standard.
Monday night man returned
from Salisbury, bringing with him a
two-gallon jug of corn juice. He
carried it in sack. After arriving
up town, he decided that it would
not be healthy or wise for him to
take said booze home with him, so
he secreted it away in the bed of an
old hack that stands on the porch of
Mr.. w. C. Boyd's carriage shop,
where he intended leaving it until
an opportunity to slip it into his
home. But Tuesday afternoon, a
black William goat belonging to Mr..
John Cruise, the assistant express
man, discovered the elegant stuff
and began pulling and jerking the
sack until the jug broke. The whis-
key was soon absorbed in the sack,
and the William goat continued to
chew until it got paralyzed drunk,
and in this state of intoxication the
goat furnished no little amount of
exciting fun for the citizens in that
pant of the city. The antics Of a
Billy goat are amusing at all times.
but this peculiar circumstance is yet
| unequalled.

A great deal of rough, coarse looking
straw and chip is worn, but it is as expen-
siye as the fine goods, or more so. The
roughness is picturesque, especially in
large hats and as there is usually an adj
mixture of lace or fancy weaves, there is
no lack of fashionable effect. A glossy fin
ished braid that initiates jet Is among the
novelties in black goods.
The gown illustrated Is of pearl gray
bengaline. Three narrow bands of white
guipure trim the foot. The blouse bodice
of tho same material shows a curious ar
rangement of folds in front, which narrow
toward the collar, to which they ascend. A
box plait of jacqueminot velvet occupies
the middle of the front, while a large col
lar of white guipure covers the shoulders.

Warning Notes Calling the Wicked
TO he pentance.
God is not an alarmist, but when
there is danger ahead he wants us to
know it,
Christ went about doing G ood.
He didn't sit down in a comfortable
place and talk about it.
As long as the devil can handle
noise we make in church.
Ii God answered all Prayers, the
heavens woulc always be raining
fire on somebody's head.
The man who IS not religious at
home, often wants to be considered
extra pious in church
Some people waste good deal of
time in praying for joy. who are not
willing to become unselfish
There are too many people who
claim to love the Lord who put rots
ten apples in the bottom of the bas-
ket.
1t takes some people n whole life
time to find out that no dollar is big
enough to give au hours happiaess
When the convicted sinner says,
Not to night" the devil feels that
| it will be safe for him to sleep a
week.
The man who looks at everything
TIN ough money is more than half
convinced that the devil is a gentle
| man.
No matter what appearances may
be, God is always on the side of the
man who does right and has to suffer
| for it.
Many man fails 10 have access
to God in private because be has
been doing too much trumpet blow
ing in public.
That man is not needed as n mis-
sionary in heathen lands who has
been married for years and never
talks religion with his wife.
The devil is standing very close to
the-Christian who persuades himself
that his work is more important to
God than that of somebody else.
G"Let not thy left hand know what
thy right hand doeth." The Chris,
tian's hands should be kept so busy
for God that they will have no time
for gossip.

over the little bill of fare that was handed
him. He couldn't make it out at ALL

which looks like jet, but is not, are all
seen in great variety, while there is no
limit to the brilliancy of color. The pref
test are the green straws, in foliage tints,
and those of an exquisite golden yellow.
The latter usually have more or less black
in the trimming, which sets off their color
to advantage.
Metallic effects are as fashionable as
ever in millinery, and now that spangleS
are made in every tint the variety of the
ornaments made of them is astonishing
Nothing is prettier than gold, after all,
however, and as it goes well with every
thing it is more economical for women of
