A sermon on Character.

Rev DR. Matbie B Babcock, of the Brown
Memorial Church, Baltimore, filled the
pulpit yesterday morning and evening at
the Church of the Covenant. large au-
dience heard his morning sermon.
The discourse was strong and forcible
one, dealing with the theme, Moral Lone
lineSs''
He said, in part Loneliness of indi
viduality means indivisibility of person, or
personality. There is all through life
loneliness we cannot escape. our lives are
to be interpreted by the thought of this in
dividuaiity; this loneliness OF love.
God sees individual development. We
do not konw whatlife is until We recognize
that it is a sacrificial thing, and for lack
of this there are thousands of lives spelling
without peace The chief end of man is to
glorify God, but 1t comes TO units when we
count the men who choose to do hard
thing for the Creators good.
The first influence of moral loneliness
is upon character. The principle of all good
government is in moral loneliness. 1t is
not Inevitable that men go with the Gro wd,
but to choose a distinct Christian life and Il
separate Christian work means necessarily
moral loneliness. Character that does not
come of effort is not character. Character
is an outcome of individual battles andis
reaction Of struggle No one can fight
my battles for me: l must fight them alone.
THE fear of eecentricity has lost many
man's distin ction. The boy that dislikes
to be called peculiar generally goes down
the common way OF life. Do not be afraid
to be peculiar or to stand olt alone. Daring
to stand and caring not for the vengeance
of the mob is character. II you follow the
crowd you will be like ordinary people

evaporate if they are left uncovered. Mo
lasses also loses much of it's flavor if left

Dried fruits exposed to the air become

Here is another of Katherine's recipes,
which she practices now and then al an
informal sort of chafing-dish party. Did
you ever eat panned oysters on toast? Try
it some time. But to enjoy them to their
full extent it is necessary to have pretty

oysters on the quaint little plates, and
toasting her cheeks and the bread at the

Here endeth the first lesson.
When the compound in the pan begins to
bubble, add red pepper and salt. and then
the oysters. Cover closely and cook for
exactly two minutes. Then put in some
butter-plenty oft. Dip the slices of bread
quickly in the broth, lay the oysters on top,
serve with pickles, and fancy crackers. If
you like, and your guests will do the rest
Katherine says il never fails to put an
end TO conversation for the next minute or
two. The secret Of the whole matter is
in the seasoning. and this can be learnedonly
by experience. 1t is dangerous to give too
many shakes to the pepper box.
1t is not claimed that this scheme is the
best for all people, for if it were and

great advantage, that one may economize

Salary of Land Officers.

The rumored appointment Of man
from the western end of the district
to one of the head positions in the
local land Office has led to much
discussion as to what compensation
is received by the register and the
receiver.
The register and the receiver OF
any United States land office gets a
fixed salary of $500 per annum each.
This can be increased by fees, allowed
by law for services performed, until
this stipend is increased to the sum
of 5000 yearly for each officer, but no
more. All fees over and above this
amount go to the government.
The amount of compensation thus
being dependent upon the volume of
the business done through the office.
it is commonly understood that the
present land officers will be very lucky
if they each get $4,000 for the current
year, or about $175 per month.
One great reason for this is the
inability of people to get money to
make final proof upon their hometeads
or stone and timber claims. With the
defunct banks, the old time proof
loan" business has vanished, and
many a man has had to ''pass his
proof on account of not being able
to raise the two hundred and odd
dollars in the case Of IL committed
homestead claim, or double that
amount in stone and timber cases.

SALE OF THE TRIBUNE.
Bid an by Mr.. Thompson for the Press
Visitor for $1,365.

The Tribune was sold yesterday by the
sheriff for S1,365. 1t was bid in by
Mr.. Aft. A. Thompson, president of the
Raleigh Electric Company.
The property was first sold by the
separate article, bringing an aggregate
of about $40. Then it was sold as
whole at an upset bid for 1866. Stew
art Bros, of Winston run the price up
to $3.50.
1t is said that Mr.. Thompson bought
the property for the afternoon paper
here-the Press-Visitor. Just what dis
position it will make of the property, or
in what way it will utilize it is not yet
known, no plans having been announced.
1t was rumored yesterday that Col
Hayward would be retained in the new
deal and be one of the editors. and that
the paper will be Independent in poll
tics.
These, however are mere rumOrs and
could not be authoritatively confirmed.
The property sold consists of the
type, office furniture and fixtures, Job
presses, an electric motor and fixtures,
n lot of shafting and pulleys, the unex-
pired lease on two Merganthaler ma
chimes and the name and good will of
the paper. The general opinion was that
good price was paid for the property.
The amount paid however,
will not satisfy all the judg-
ments against it. The Wash
ington Times will get its claim
for $140.47. The Raleigh Electric Com
pany will be paid the same amount:
all the Tribune employees will be
paid in full The Page Lumber Com
pany has a claim for $3.50, and suf-
fieient amount will remain to pay $145
of that amount.
The judgments that will not be paid
are as follows: Spence Plumbing Com
pany, $31 so; Postal Telegraph Company
5000; Allen q Cram, $44.15; b. w.
Baker, 1926, and w. r. O'Brien, $756.
In addition to these there are a number
of claims for which no Judgment was
ever obtained. OF course they will get
only what the bear grabbed at.
