brilliant success in New York so- ciety. Her entertainments have been attended by the cream of New York's aristoeracy, and the glory she has won is new incentive to many ambitious women now longing to get within the charmed circle. The senator long held aloof from these aspirations of his wife, but now it appears that he will attempt to find consolaton for de- feat in the gay diversions of the ex- elusive. Brice is we'll calculated to succeed in this direction. His address and personality are impressive, and he can make himself very fascinating when necessary. He is now estimated to be worth between $5,000,000 and S10,000,000, and that is very good equipment with which to begin so- cial campaign. His son is now recog- nized in New York as the very gayest of the gay young men about town.

Egypt. Mir. Ford attributes his success as humorist to the novel theory which lie propounded in London year ago and which the prince Of Wales laughed at so heartily. This theory is based upon the curious fact, first noticed by Mir. Ford, that man has long believed him- self alone in being endowed with a sense of humor. But latterly a sense of humor has been detected in animals, and Mir. Ford argues that as man is made in the image of his maker, it fol- lows that the Deity must have a sense of hunor too. This divine humor is, of course, infinitely more sublime than anything we poor mortals have any conception of. Nr. Ford explains the phenomenon of the universe by con- tending that it is all a piece of humor on the part of the Creator who made the earth and moon and the stars as I sort of heavenly joke. Hence the prev alence of the comic element through out the cosmos.

That is the situation in nutshell" Debs believes that he will yet obtain full yindication for the treatrent he has received. His plans to form a great national labor organi- zation are fully matured, and he be- lteyes It will be strongest on the New York Central and Pennsylvania lines. His assertion that strikes arc out of date should reassure those who are afraid that another contest of capital and labor is impending. Debs is very conservative man now, and his east ern tour will not set the Thames on fire. The labor men in New York mean to have parade i'll his honor.

 lice schemes ever heard of. It is planned principally in the interest of bankers all over the world, who are now very much at the mercy of designing people everywhere. The idea which Byrnes now has is to do away entirely with the slipshod methods of interna- tional arrest, and to unite the heads of the detective police of the world into a federated alliance. The days of the crimnal who makes banks his victims are thus believed to be numbered, and the old-fashioned robber will disappear from the face of the earth. Byrnes idea has been submitted toleading financiers in Europe and America, and they have given 1t their entire approval. He will be back in this country to put the deal through in few days, and the most competent men in New York have exam ined the charges against him and pro- nounce them bascless. There is great future in store for Byrnes, in compari- son with which his past will be as noth- ing. DAVID WECH6LER.

when the police insist upon the observ- ance of merely legal and innocent regu- lations. Young men and women in par ticular who have much money and time on their hands go in for anarchy be- cause it is a fad with the exclusive. They have taken up a nondescript char acter, Tilvit, an anarchist who has given the police trouble in the past, and he harangues public meetings on all oc- casions. Acting Chief Conlin announces that the police will not tolerate violent anarchists simply because they have wealthy parents. Old man Tilvit is for ever abusing the police, and has in. duced his wealthy probators to com plain to the commissioners. They think, however, that they cannot af- ford to be lenient to anarchists, and will make short work of the complaint.

Minnesota Teacher Who Was His Own Lexicon.
 Agood story comes from MeelSer coun- ty and has to do with well-known country school district there. When 1t came time last summer to hire teacher the local board discovered that there were two applicants, both young men. As to salary there was no difference be- tween them, but the second one in- sisted that if he were employed the board should provide a dictionary for the schoolroom. The first one made no such demand, and said that he would be well able to get along without dic- tionary. As he expressed it, it was use- ful only in the matter of defining words and giving their pronunciation" No. 1 got the school. The other day the board made it's first visit to the building. Everything went well for the first 15 minutes, but finally a red-headed, freclled-faced youth in the rear of the room held up his right hand and snapped his fingers in q very energetic manner.
 What is it, Charlie?" asked the teacher.
 q want to know how to pronounce word," said Charlie.
 Spell it. replied the teacher.
 Charlie, in loud voice, spelled out the word '.vocabularyo
 "Vo-ca-bull-ary," responded the teacher, placing the accent on the "bull," and he added as to it's meaning: "Appertaining to horned cattle"
 The board cut short it's visit and is now looking for new teacher and get- ting ready to buy an unabridged dic- tionary- Minneapolis Journal.

 He was the recipient of many social attentions, however, and conversed freely in private with the guests. Among the things he was overheard to say was that the passing of the dude rejoiced him exceedingly. MT.

He also declared that the Ameri- can girl is q peerless creature and the most perfect of brides on her wedding day. It was noted that the president looked very we'll indeed, and seemed to have lost his unsightly superabundance of flesh.

Huggard is from the country. His uncle puts up pickles on large scale, I am told, and the nephew derives an income from that connection. Hug gard aspires to be a man of taste, a man of clubs, man of the world. To this end he attempts, clumsily attempts, to be chummy with all and to initiate our ways and words. He is ashamed of the very qualities that constitute his only charm. He crudely tries to hide his inexperiences in things ele- gant. He watches us all carefully, and sedulously initiates our dress and man. nerisms. Huggard invariably betrays, by his rustic affeetations, the person he has last consorted with. He passed an hour with Vane the other morning, and actually quoted Maehiavelli for the rest of the day.
 An! young Huggards of this age. Do you suppose your little secrets are not as open as the day, that men do not perceive you are wearing your first dress suit, that your personality is not redolent of hay?

A SLIP ,rWIxr THE CUP AND
THE LIP.
The Yates Property at Cary Bid Away
From the Farmers AIliance-An I'm
expected Blow.
There's many a slip
'Twixt the cup and the lip"

Up to fifteen minutes past twelve
O'Clock yesterday the State Farmers
Alliance contemplated operating shoe
factory in the Yates building at Cary.
Five minutes later their minds were
changed.
a prominent Allianceman said last
week: "The sale Of the Yates property
will be just Formally" But it turned
out to be undeniably informal.
The State Alliance had made all ar
rangements 10 move its offices and all its
enterprises to Cary. They were to buy
the Yates property, and Cary was to be
transformed into 'Allianceville. There
were to be Alliance offices, Alliance
stores, Alliance factories.
But all is changed.
Yesterday at noon Mr.. Frank Stron-
aeh sold the property at public auction.
The Alliancemen made the authorize
bid, 81, $50, and just as they thought it
was to be knocked down to them, Mr..
j. G. Angler, Mayor of Cary, bid "a, 275
for the property.
The AlIiancemen were dazed, dumb
founded. They had not dreamed of OPP,
position. They could not raise the bid,
and the property went to Mr.. Angler,
who bought it for the Cary Lumber Co.
An enterprise will be started in the
building by this company, even larger
than the proposed shoe factory.
The Yates heirs were there, Mrs.
Yates, Miss Yates, E. d. Yates, Andrew
Yates and Freeman Yates; a number of
Gary people and a few Alliancemen
were about all who saw the sale.
The 'Eraise" on their bid knocked the
props from under the Alliancemen.
They do not know what TO do. The
executive committee, Messrs. Hiieman,
English and Mewborne, have been tele-
graphed for, and will be here to day.
Manager Sossaman of the Progressive
Farmer said last night: "You can say
that the shoe factory will bs started in
spite of all this, but it is pretty certain
that the Alliance offices and factory will
not be located in the town of Cary"
So Cary will not be "Allianceyille,
after all.

into the industrial fabric of the city than
that of William G.. Upchurch. For forty

his progressive ideas, his charity, and his
liberal views along almost every avenue
that has led to the upbuilding of the city
and community.
William George Washington Upchurch
was born at Green Level, IN Wake
county, in Dec 1887 Hespent his early
wears, on a small farm and had meager
