The Fidelity Mutual Life Association
issues unique tablet calendar, which is
especially useful to business men for
making memorandums of future engage
ments. One of the prominent policy
holders, in writing to the association, ac-
/ -knowledging the receipt of the calendar,
has this to say:
Beyond its merely seryiceable quality,
have taken great pleasure in reading its
little morning prayer and will confess
that these short exhortations have in
creased my already strong belief in the
efficacy OF life insurance. The Fidelity
received from me during the past year
my share of the expense Of presenting
this little advertiser, in the share of two
thousand dollar policy. My first policy
now more than ten years old is in the
Fidelity. / have it still, and / place abb
solute reliance in the safety of your COM
pany. Your own calendar can say no
more"
The above comes from prominent at
torncy, and is a sample Of the endorse
ments given by the policy-holders to the
Fidelity Mutual Life Association. II
you are insured, it will pay you to COM
pare the rates you are paying, and the
conditions Of your policy, with the rates
and policies of the Fidelity II you are
not insured, but know that you ought
TO be. YOU will find it to your advantage
to communicate with the general agents,
Messrs. Burkhead and Farwell, Raleigh,
North Carolina And if you desire one
of these calendars, they will mail it to
you upon request, giving date of birth
and occupation, with four cents in stamps
to cover postage.

Poor Indeed!

There are degrees and kinds of poverty,
just as there are differences of opinion
among those who compute and measure
poverty and riches by different standards.
Some men deem themselves poor because
they are less rich than others, again there
are comparatively poor people who are
satisfied with competence. There is a
kind of poverty for which no amount of
wealth can compensate, namely, power
tY of bodily stamina, evinced by nervous
ness and arrangement of the functions of
digestion, bilious secretion and the
bowels. To restore vigor upon a per-
manent basis there is one remedy that
fully cover the requirements, stills the
BILL" and this is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. By restoring digestion, giving a
healthful impulse to the action of the
bowels and liver and tranquilizlng the
nerves, it fulfills the condition necessary
to resumption of strength by the sys-
tenn. II also overcomes malaria and
rheumatism.

his louis on the table recklessly with a
certainty and disdain.
But in his heart was burning pain.
He was haunted by thoughts of the beg :
gar child sleeping in the snow, of the
child he had robbed.
She was still in the same place. Of
course she was. in few moments, yes,
as soon as O'Clock strikes-I swear it

and Lucien was Still sitting at the in
fernal table. Finally, a minute before
2, the proprietor arose brusquely and
said in a loud voice: "The bank is
closed, gentlemen. Enough for today"
Lucien bounded to his feet Roughly
repulsing the gamblers who crowded
about him and regarded him with en-
vious admiration he hurried and ran to-
ward the stone bench. From distance
he saw the child under the gaslight
"Thank God'' he cried "She is still
there. y
He went up to her and took her hand.
"Oh, how cold she is! Poor little
thing''
He took her in his arms and raised
her up. The child's head fell backward
and she did not awaken.
"How soundly one sleeps at her age!'
He pressed her against his chest to
warm her, and seized with vague anx-
iety he was about to kiss her Oh her eyes
to awaken her. Then he saw with ter
ror that they were half open, and that
they were set and CHASTITY. A horrible
suspicion crossed his brain. He put his
mouth close to the chi1d's. No breath
came out.
While Lucien was winning q fortune
with the gold louis stolen from the
child she had died, died with cold.
Choking with anguish, Luoien tried to
cry out, and in the effort he aroused
from his nightmare and found himself
lying on the settee in the clubroom,
where he had dropped asleep shortly be-
fore midnight, and where the porter
the last to leave in the morning, had
left him undisturbed, out of sympathy
for his misfortune.
The December morn shone through
the frosty panes. Lucien went out,
pawned his watch, took bath, ate his
breakfast, then went to the recruiting
Office, where he enlisted as a private in
the First regiment Of African chasseurs.
Today Lucien De Hem is lieutenant.
He has only his salary to live upon, but
it is sufficient, as he is prudent and
never touches card. 1t seems that he
even saves something. A few days ago
a comrade who followed him distance
ip the steep streets Of La Kasbah saw
him give aims to little Spanish girl
sleeping in doorway and had the in
discretion to see just how much he had
given to poverty. He was much sur
prised at the poor lieutenant's gener-
osity.

The Miilnieht Sun.

It was a glorious night, and the heav-

slowly near the horizon over the town
and hills of Tromso. We gathered on

to have clearer view, mounted to the
"crow's nest, and others, more agile,
climbed to greater heights in the rat

intense interest the great red orb de-

joining, was directly in line Of the view
Of the sun, although there was de-
preston in the landscape on each side Of

as we looked at our watches we saw it

before it reached its lowest point Soon
it was gone from our eyes Oh deck, but
we could still see, away up the bay, it's

No sooner said than done, and as

and jumped into the boat the officer said
we had but 10 minutes to spare. Away
we flew, first in the shadow and at last
into the full light Of the sun, with only
4 minutes lacking as we regained the

purpose. and when the officer announced
it was just the exact time, II "A p. M,

In the future, when any one attempts

doubt his truth and veracity. We know

THE PINK WILD ROSE.

An old log house in the pasture stands,
Shattered, forsaken and brown,
It's windows gone, its broken door
And its doorstep tumbled down.
But spirit fingers near the spot
With sweet old time repose,
For in the tangled masses round about
Blossoms the pink wild rose.
gather bunch of the fragrant flowers,
And picture seems to rise
stand in the past hundred years
And see meath the sunset skies
The housewife stand by her spinning wheel
Toiling at twilight close.
An old brown jar on the window sill
Is filled with the pink wild rose.
The husband sits on the doorstep there,
With the children playing near,
And then time marches with silent tread
Till it passes year by year,
And the old log house, deserted, is
A prey to the rains and SHOWS,
While the only voice of the days gone by
Is the voice of the pink wild rose.
