Patience arms industry against
all the discouragements that unto
ward fate can call up to cheat labor
and high endeavor and close atten-

Patience disarms more enmity,
silences more accusations, curbs
more lawlessness, gives force to
greater instrumentalities for good,
kills more devils of discomfort, than
all other agencies that earth has
ever employed. 1t is the divinest

bears until the fullness OF its OPP
portunity comes and then does its
work unerringly. Patience is d.
vine, for it is the one attribute of
that unknown that prsvades all
things and moves all things and
informs all things and causes all
things, and which we call God.
The one attribute that we never
question, no matter how we differ
in our ideas of that God.
Patience has won more victories
on the hammered field OF battle as
well as on the silent sod of unban-
nered endeavor, than any other
conqueror Of which the world has
knowledge. Put into one grand

office and the field, the laboratory

hope for future victories. Then

Anosens image OF the Infant cnr,ss.

One of the most valuable relics in the
collection Of the famous church of Ara
Coeli. Rome, is the noted image which
has frequently been figured and de-
scribed in the inyestigative magazines
under the heading of 1.-THE Oldest Doll
In the World" In Italy this valuable
carving is called I'll Bambino" C"The
Infant'), and legend says that it is fig
ure of the child Jesus, carved from
tree ON the Mount Of Olives, the iden-
teal one under which Christ underwent
the agony on the night before the cruel
fixion. According to the popular belief
it was carved by Franciscan monk or
pilgrim (accounts differ ON that score)
and painted by st. Luke. In Rome the
figure has been greatly venerated for
centuries on account of the power at
tributed to ii of miraculously healing
the sick
When cardinals and other high church
dignitaries and officials are supposed to
be on their deathbeds the 'Bambino" Is
often taken to the sickroom, and many
are the miraculous cures that have been
reported. When taken ON such missions
the "Bambino" is never carried, but is
taken by prelate in tan oolored coach
over which floats the holy vermilion
flag. There is legend that the figure
was once stolen from its place in the
church rehquary, but that il escaped |
and walked back. This supposed Incl
dent is made the subject of a poem by

ILL-ASSORTED MARRIAGES.
Frequent Marriages OF Minors In
Spartanburg Cotton Mills.

One of the most imperative duties OF our
legislators will be to amend the matrimonial
In ws of the State. There are now no restric.
tions thrown around this important matter,
and any couple can embark in matrimony
by simply calling upon some officer empower
ed to perform the ceremony.
Soulh Carolina IL the only State in the Un-
ion were divorces are forbidden. This is right,
but ut the same time where the tie Is made so
prevent the consummation OF hasty and i'll
assorted marriages. Within the past few
months number Of operatives from the cot
ton mills In our county have Nme 10 as with
the complaint that many children have run
away and were married who have no means
of support, and do not realize the importance
of the step they have taken. Again, men past
the middle age Of life will marry girls scarce
ly In their teens and boys will marry women
Old enough for their mothers. Such are the
reports given us. The result Is that frequently
such ilI-ma tched couples become disgusted
with married life, and grass widows are plen-
tiful, Sometimes and girls father has anoth-
er family TO support. In our cotton mills the
boys aud girls work side Gy side, fall In love
aud without any consideration as to the
bark upon the sea OF matrimony there is no
retreat. Now with our lax laws in regard to
marriages no restraint whatever Is thrown
around our young people. Any trial justice,
or most anv State officer, can tie the nuptial
knot. South Carolina should have marriagel
license law, as they have In Georgia and
other states. Make 1t Illegal for minors to
marry unless they gain the consent Of pa
rents. This, we believe, will remedy the
troubles complained of.-Piedmont Head
