WHEN CHILDHOOD SLEEPS.

When childhood sleeps. serenely fair.
The cashing world is seen to wear
A cloak of silence, and It's tread
So gentle Is. when "hush," is said.
It's own surprise is sweet TO know
And for the time strange, new glow
over the conscience softly creeps
With precious warmth. when childhood
sleeps.
When childhood sleeps no heart of steel
Can safely view the mild appeal
OF HELPLESS innocence that waits
The mastery Of soulless fates.
Men who have faced deaths solemn dread
With careless laugh kneel at the bed
OF infancy, while courage weeps
Unconscious tears when childhood sleeps.
When childhood sleeps no bitter thought
Before the blessed shrine Is brought,
The cruelty, the hate. the pride
OF other realms are cast aside
As We approach the one retreat
Where lifes unequal forces meet
In hallpwed confidence that keeps
Loves harmony when childhood sleeps

One of The great capitalists in New
York, a NAL whose achievements by
reason of their magnitude cause his
name to lie as familiar to the public as
that of almost any man in New York,
went into the safe deposit vaults one
day and gave to the manager an enyel-
ope which ne said contained 2,000
shares of Northwestern stock. He did
not want to put this stock in his vault
for reasons best known to himself. The
envelope was given to an employee, who
did not know its contents, who was in
strueted to place it in his own private
vault until called for, and with that ar
rangement the capita list seemed content
A few months later this capitalist was
in great state of mind. He could not
find anywhere among his possession a
block of 1000 shares Of Northwest ern
stock. He could not say whether it had
been lost or stolen. At last he gave a
bond to the railroad company and re-
ceived for it new stock, and the old issue
was Cancelled.
At the beginning of the following
year the deposit company's employee
asked that he might be relieved CT the
responsibility of caring for the cap
italist's envelope, although he did
not know what it contained. The
capitalist was sent for and the envelope
given to him. He himself received the
envelope in apparent ignorance of its
contents until he opened it and found
within the missing 1000 shares of the
par value of $4,000 The whole trans
action was an utter blank to him. if he
had been 1uan of incorporate habits it
might have been explained, but he is
practically total abstasner. -Philadel-

Christmas In a Foreign Land.

The great hall was gay with holly and
Christmas greens. 1t was showing out
side for the first time that year, and the
hinge fireplace was full of logs blazing
and swapping in splendidly cheerful
way. Dinner was to be earlier than usu-
al. A great festivity was going on in
the servants hall, and when Warford
went out with Lady Mary to cut the
great Christmas pasty and have his
health drunk, Betty and Edith went,
too. and everybody stood up and cheered
and cried: Merry Christmas Merry
Christmas, and God bless you ~ in the
most hearty fashion. 1t seemed as if all
the holly in the Danesly woods had been
brought in---as if Christmas had never
been so warm and friendly and generous
in great house before. Christmas eve
had begun, and cast its lovely charm
and enchantment over everybody heart.
Old dislikes were forgotten between the
guests. At Christmas time it is easy to
say kind words that are hard to say all
the rest of the year; at Christmas time
one loves his neighbor and thinks better
of him. Christmas love and good will
come and fill the heart whether one
beckons them or not Betty had spent
some lonely Christmases in her short
life, as all the rest of MS have done, and
perhaps for this reason the keeping Of the
great day at Danesly in such happy
company, in such splendor and warm
heartedness of the old English fashion,
seemed kind Of royal Christmas to
her young heart. Everybody was so kind

And he is strong with the strength of a

NEW YORK FOR BRYAN.
Colonel Benehan Cameron Says The
Empire State VIII Give It's Electo-
raj Vote to The Nebraskan.

New York is going for Bryan said
Col. Benehan Cameron, who was here
yesterday. Col. Cameron was in New
York when Mr.. Bryan delivered his
speech of acceptance, and spent two
weeks afterwards in the State.
wherever I went he said, there was
great enthusiasm for silver and for
Bryan. This was particularly true in
agricultural sections. Thousands of
farmers, lifelong Republicans, who feel
the low prices as surely as the far
mers in the South, declare they will
vote for Bryan, not because they are
Democrats, but because they are in
favor of the free coinage of silver. In
New York City, at Sheepshead Bay, at
Coney Island, / found the sentiment
overwhelmingly for silver. The people
who have large fortunes and spend the
summer at fashionable resorts are, of
course, mostly for gold, but they have
very few votes to cast in comparison
with the votes of the farmers and me-
chanics who are lining up almost sol
idly for silver. / verify believe that
instead of Mckinley coming down to
the Harlem with 10000 to $4,000 votes,
as the Republican candidate usually
does, he will not come down with any
majority at all. Well informed men
told me that some of the best Republi-
can workers did not expect to come
down with over 25 200, and were rely
ing upon New York city and Brooklyn
to give Bryan no majority at all,
through the efforts of the gold Demo-

MANUFACTURERS AT THE FAIR.
President Cameron and Secretary
Nichols Urge That Every Estab-
lishment in the State be
Represented.

President Cameron and Secretary
Nichols have issued this address to
North Carolina manufacturers;
''The object of the State Fair is to
exhibit as far as possible the resources
and industries of the State. North
Carolina has made more rapid progress
in manufacturing enterprise during
the last twenty years than any other
State in the Union; but with the eXcep-
ton of the State Exposition in 1884,
our manufacturers have taken very lit
tie interest in showing their goods at
State fairs.
"The managers for the present year
will make special efforts to secure, if
possible, a small exhibit-at least,
some small article from every manu-
featuring establishment in the Stae.
These articles viii all be properly la
belled and arranged in division in the
main building, to be known as Index
to North Carolina Industries" 1t mat
ters not how small the article, all will
receive the same attention. Of course
some exhibitors may wish to have a
display of their own; so much the bet
ter if they dove have ample room for
all.
There is not a manufacturing es-
adjustment in the State that cannot
send something. Cotton mills can send
a bolt or half bolt of plaids, bunch of
yarns, or Irvine. Wooden mills can send
a few yards of the products of their
looms. Canning establishments, sam
pies of their fruits and vegetables.
Woodworkers, samples of their skill,
in some form. Tanners can send sam
pies of their leather and dressed skins.
Saddlers and harness makers can send
saddle, bride or a set of harness.
Millers can send barrel of North Car
DINA -four, corn meal, etc. Carriage,
buggy and wagon makers can all send
vehicles or other useful articles to add
to this interesting exhibit. All are in
vited to send something.
Exhibitors may send their own
show cards, where they have them.
Others viii be furnished by the
Society.
"The services of an expert will be Sc
curd, who will arrange these exhibits
i'll the most attractive style. We be-
lieve it will make one of the most in
teresting exhibits ever shown at any
State fair.
''It is hoped that every manufactur-
ing establishment in the State will
send something, be it ever so small
Every article will be well cared for
and returned at the close of the fair,
unless otherwise directed.

his approval at the sentiments Of the

Viceroy several times asked questions
of Assistant Secretary Rockhill, the
import of which could not be learned,
as the latter smilingly replied in Chi

dent and family.

COTTON MILLS NUMBER ia
NEW MACHINERY PLACED IN
FIFTY FACTORIES The PAST
YEAR.
Goods Turned OUT The industry is
Becoming Diversified.

In the August Bulletin, which will
be issued this week, the State Board
of Agriculture publishes complete
list, from the latest information OBJ
tainable, of the number of manufacture
ing enterprises in the State.
The list shows that there are now
ia cotton mills in the State, one silk
mill, eight wooden, fifteen hosiery,
one calico, three knitted underwear,
one net and Irvine, four bag, two cord
age. Four bleacheries are located in the
State, where four years ago all goods
had TO be sent North to be bleached.
The largest factories in the State are
Rocky Mount Mills, $4,000 spindles, no
looms; 0dell Manufacturing Company,
Concord, $4,000 spindles, 1925 looms;
Henrietta Mills, Rutherford county,
1000 looms and $4,000 spindles.
The most notable feature in cotton
milling progress has been in the inn
provement of equipment.
No less than fifty mills in the past
year have thrown out the old machin-
cry and put in new. There has been a
decided tendency from mere yarn max
ing and making ordinary unbleached
WARNINGS to. finer classes of bleached
goods, as well as manufacturing
garments. At least ten mills that here
tofore only spun yarn have gone into
the manufacture of garments. There
was not a bleachery in the State three
years ago. One mill is making calico,
the first mill to engage in this branch
in the State. This is Steele's Mills,
Richmond county. Many mills are
entering upon the manufacture of
cordage, Irvine, etc, showing q ten
dency to diversity the industry that is
gratifying. The Northern manufac-
turer has left the Southern mill to
make the coarse yarns, while they have
made good profit turning out the fin
ished goods. Now that is changed,
and the Southern manufacturer is COM
peting with the Northern mills in ev-
cry grade of products.
The number of mills by counties
are:
Alamance, 21; Arson, 2; Buncombe,
2; Burke, 2; Cabarrus, 6; Caldwell, 2;
Catawba, z; Chatham, 2; Cleveland z;
Cumberland, s; Davidson, 2; Durham,

lowing counties have one each: Alexan-
