The Bashful Young Man.

He has come to make his first
call, and he is so overwhelmed
with the fear that he will not do
what is right that it depends on
you, his hostess, to make him
comfortable. Don't take any
notice of the little mistakes that
he makes. If he comes in the
parlor with his overcoat on, let
him take it off and put it where
he pleases, but you ignore its
existence. When he sees that
other men have taken theirs off
in the hall, he will know what to
do next time. IF he drops his
handkerchief or the album that
he is looking over, or seems to
sink into contemplation Of his
hands and feet, you talk on just
as merrily as possible, and try
your best to find out what he is
interested in and what he can
talk about. 1t may be pictures,
or it may be pig-iron, but what
ever it is, when you do find out
what he really has at heart, he
will talk we'll about it, and you
will discover that the outer veneer
of bashfulness only covered All
awkward boy and not a stupid
one.
Have patience with him, and
never permit yourself to be rude
enough to laugh at him. You
can make a friend of him by be-
ing gracioushostess, and friends
my dear girl, real friends, are not
so plentiful, and it is never wise
to throw aside the chance of
making one. And, if you can
make a friend of the bashful
young man, be sure he will re-
main one y p /r11ey

Another M Murder at Aurora.

News comes from Washington,
n. c., of the cruel and terrible
murder of a colored woman at
the hands of her husband, Steph-
Ell Barrheld, near Aurora. Barr
field had been living with the
woman near Idalia, on the Turn
age place, and they had some
misunderstanding which resulted
in Barrfeld numbering her and
then cutting her all to pices and
burying her.
She was missed Sunday and
search instituted. The man was
seen placing straw over fresh
dirt and this caused suspicion
afterwards leading to the finding
of the body where he had buried
it. Barr6eld was arrested by
Mr.. b. H. Thompson, living near
the scene OF his cruel deed.
This dastardly deeds the third
one to happen in that section of
the county within a little over a
year.

Don't Overwork the Boys.

Farmers are sometimes very
inCOnsiderate i'll the treatment of
their sons. Without meaning
any harm they impose labor up
on boys which should be the
work Of me,l Now, the phys;>
cal energies of a growing boy
have already all important work
allotted to them, that of building
up a strong, healthy organlza-
ton. The vital force cannot be
exerted in making muscles and
bones, and at the same time be
expended in a hard days work
in the corn field. We have seen
many instances of boys being
stunted and dwarfed because they
were overworked by All incon-
siderate father, says the Western
Pl07Unan.
When work is crowding in the
fields there is strong ternpta-
ton to utilize every muscle, and
the willing boy is pressed into
service to provide means for the
growing hogs, at the expense OF
his own growing body. This is
all wrong. A farmer would not
for an instant think of harness
ing his six months-old colt and
hitching him to the ploW, and
why should not the growing
boy have the same thoughtful
considerations Don't overwork
the Doys. They are all the mate.
rial we have to make men of.
