FRANK MCGEE.-Every old citizen
Of ENTERPRISE knows Frank McGee
Since he became consul at lluddcrS-
field he has slightly changed the au-
biography of his name or some else
perhaps the intelligent composltor
has done SO for him. The London
American of April 9th, contains a
brief sketch of the life Of Mr.. Frank

States consul at IIudderStleld, and
concludes the sketch with the follow
ing complimentary tribute to his IN
tCgrity,
"The success which has followed all
Mr.. McGhec's undertakings has ioI-
lowed him in his consular work. 1he
chief of the consular bureau, who
visited the cOnsulatcs in Great Britain
last autumn, expressed himself as
highly pleased with the office and Its
management. Mr.. McGhee IS descrV-
cdly a great fayorite in social circles
He is frequently called upon TO MAKE
afterdinncr speeches at public ana
private functions in HuddcrsIleId
He has many warm personal lrlcndN
among the business men, and many OF
the most prominent mcn-incIudlnu
the president of the chamber of com
merce, the mayor and others have eX
messed the wish that he may be al
lowed to retain his post under the
new administration.

WHY DO YOU GO TO CHURCH ?

Do you 20 to church to see your girl?
DOyou 90 to church through policy;
Do you 60 to church to gaze at pco-
pie?
Do you 90 to church to see your fel-
low
DO you 90 to church to see and be
seen?
DO you 90 to church through curl
osity?
Doyou go to church Just to hear the
music?
DO you 90 to church to pass away
time?
DO you 90 to church to criticise the
preacher:
DO you 90 to church to show your
line clothes?
We often hear people remark about
going to church.
Do you 20 to church With no thought
Of doing better?
DO you 70 to church because there
is no other place to 90?
DO you 20 to church for the pur'
pose OF telling others you were there:
DO you 90 to church because you
think Christian people will thnh
more Of you?
DO you go to church to try to foe
somebody and make them believe yol
are terribly moral?
If you 60 for any Of these reasons
YOU had as well stay at home. In th
final end your hypocrisy will be Know
and the devil will have no trouble il
recognizing you. 1t is best to 90 t.
church, but one should go TO hear tn
preacher, with the hope of being behe
hted by what he says. One shoult
not go to church to crafty some sci
fish worldly end, but go for the pur
pose Of making it step towards nv
| Ing n hptter life.

These stinging words are clipped
from the New York Evening Post:
"1he crude notion seems to prevail at
Washington that the Dinglcy bill is
going to bring back prosperity and
that prosperity when it comes will
snuff out the silyerites. The truth is
that the Dinglcy bin, with its mon
Strosites Of one kind and another, has
already killed the prosperity that
showed itself after the defeat Of the
Bryan ticket last fall The retroac-
tive feature of the bill alone would
suffice to prevent the return Of good
times by plunging business into un-
certainty"

New plates for printing the ne"
silver certificates OF the denomIna-
tions of one, two and five dollars are
being prepared at the Bureau OF En-
craving ,and Printing. The new GER
tif,cate will be lighter in tone than
those now in circulation, and the ny
urcs dcnoting the denomination VIII
be less artistic, but palmer to the eye
Secretary Gage determined to modify
the appearance Of the certificates on
account Of many complaints receIVcn'
principally from banks. that the heaNy
coloring used caused them to become
smudrcd and blurred. Complaint was
also made that the denomlnatlonaI

CHORDS AND DISC0RDS,
BY MATE PALMER

"Whew. Whatever is burning;
Are the pillows or the tcather-oed on
fire: or is Bridget trying to sCOrCh the
feathers Off the chickens to save
plucking them" John had happened
home at quite an unusual houf, ana
found his wife struggling Oraytly with
a biz bunch Of peacock feathers ana a
slow fire. He had been conscious
they were her pet aversion ever since
he brought them home several years
before. Big, go0d-natnred fellow, II
had never dawncd on him what lot
OF things they had to blame those in
n0cent feathers for. Utterly free from
superstition himself, ii was dIilicult
for him to see that the business losses
he had sustained were all owing 70 a
bit of gay plumagc g>imly bcckoning
disaster his way, especially since he
! had been able to retrieve his losses,
with that same cluster ut brilliant
eyes still looking from its accustomed
corner. The stupid man coulduteven
understand that poor Duke would not
! have died but fer those feathers, ln-
! deed, he didn't care murn tor dogs
anyway, and felt like welcoming any
thing that was fatal to pugS. HIS IN
tcllcct couldn't seem to grasp the vast
possibilities for evil that were tied up
in such an indecent looking ornament
but his wife knew: one trouble hau
| followed another ever since they had
those feathers. Nothing but sickness
and losses, The losses had not been
great or the illness frequent or severe;
but they would doubtless not have
come at all but for those feathers
And now that Dandy, the old family
horse, had taken pink eye, = she pro-
posed to destroy them before he too
died

ORIGIN OF MIR. AND MRS

philadclphia Record,
In csrlcr times the ordinary man
was simply William or John; that is
to say, he had only Christian name
without any kind of handle" before
it or surname after it.
Some means Of distinguishing one
John or William became necessary,
Nicknamcs derived from a man S
trade or his dwelling place, or from
some personal popularity, were tackled
on to his Christian name, and plaln
John became John Smith. AS yet
there were no "MiSters" in the land,
Some John Smith accumulated more
wealth than the bulk Of his fellows
became, perhaps, a landed proprietor
or an employer Of hired labor. Then
he began to be called in the Norman
French Of the day "maStrc' OF this
place or that, Of these wOrkmcn or OF
those.
In time the "maistrc,' or master,
AS it soon became, got tackled on before
his name and he became Master
Smith and his wife MaiStress Smith.
Gradually the sense Of poSScsSon
was lost sight of and the title was
conferred upon any kindly mere
possession of wealth, or holding some
position of more or less consideration
and Importance.

fossil, and as he displayed the pctrl-
fled specimen, he began to phiIoS0-
phizc. Here was nothing strange.
1t was simply chcmlcal attraction
that the poison which caused rhcuma-

stltucnt of that vegetable, = and as he
waxcd eloquent with the Importance
of his theme, he Illustrated 10y means
Of the maidstone, which manifested
such an affinity for the deadly virus OF

There are certainly many VINO can
declare themselves absolutely free
from superstition of whatever nature;
but by far the majority if not super
Stitiuus in a general way have their
one little pet belief. 1t may be only
a fancy for seeing the new moon over
the right shoulder, or perhaps a dis
taste for starting an enterprise FRI
day. They may hardly admit 1t them
selves. yet they are conscience OF llt
tie preference on the subject. From
the breaking Of a looking 6 ass Will
its accompanying seven years OF bad
luck, to the spilling a little salt with
the quarrel it portends, there IS sucf
a wide range Of signs that one won
ders at the versatility that ever IN
vented so many. We smile alike at

Even practical, unscntimcntal John,
notwithstanding his good.natured sar-
casm at superstition in every one else
has at last succumbed to what he
calls an old w0man's fable. Poor man,
he had been for years a martyr to the
twinrcs and crinks Of rheumatism,
that uncomfortable companion, who
accepts no divided attention. He had
tried acids, alkais, baths, blisters,

One recalls the pretty little myth OF

SHOULD BE IMPARTIAL.

The question of the necessity for
securing an impartial history OF the
late war will be one Of the most i'm
portant subjects that will come up for
discussion at the reunion of the
United Confederate Veteran. at Nash
vile on June 30, % and "a
In an editorial on this point the
Baltimore Sun Says: "This is OF
graycr concern than the establishment
Of battle abbey or the rearing OF
monuments to Confederate soldiers
and statesmen
Commenting on this, the Meridian
Herald contains the following edl'
tOrial.
Many histories Of the war have been
written by northern men, but the lat
ter histories have not been fair or
judicial, the purpose Of the writer's
evidently being to show that in all the
causes leading up to the great conflict
the South was wholly in the wrongi
that it was solely responsible for the
war and that 1t actually and eagerly
preferred blO0dshed 10 Il peaceful set
| tlement Of the issues at stake. In
! fact, the farther We leave the war
period behind US the more unfair ana
uneslded the histories seem to become,
until at last the minating point IS
reached in a reported arrangement by
the Grand Army Of the Republic 10
secure textbook for use in the
schools which will be Of such nature
that no Southern boy could read it
without nferring that the C0nted-
crate leaders and soldiers were traitors
Of the deepest dye. Such a history
NAV suit the purposes Of those who
are anxious to perpetuate sectional
feeling or who may huneStly-but mar
rOWly. erthclCSs-heleyc there was
only one side to the question at issue /;
but it should not be allowed to 90 un-
challenged BY the people of the South,
Who still cherish their faith in the
honor and patriotism Of the men who
wore the gray. The United COnfed-
crate Veterans should lose no time in
arranging for such history as will
meet all the requirements OF the sltua-
tion. A Confederate history is not
wanted any more than Grand Army
Of the Republic history. what Is
wanted is an honest, unpreJudlced
statement Of the constitutional dtter-
encCs which led up to the war; fair
exposition Of the views held by both
parties to the contention; an unyarn-
ished account of all the occurrences
which cultminatcd in secession, and
then the true story Of the war Such
a history is not only needed for the
youth of the South, but in a broader
: sense for the people Of the world. The
final verdict has not yet been passed
, upon the merits Of that Stupcndous
conflict. but if the South has not a
complete history, which shall present
only the great truths and facts that
are beyond dispute, the linal judgment
of the world will be based upon the
, eX- partc works of northern historians,
, and the South will suffer great in.
