Hoodooed His Lawyer.
Fayetteville Observer

A few days ago certain promi-
nent lawyer of this county was
rising to make speech before a
magistrate in behalf of a negro
client when the latter stopped him
and calling him aside forced some
thing into his pocket. The law
yer, thinking probably that it was
a roll of bills, smiled and went
on with his speech, making such
a powerful plea that his client was
acquitted easily. Then the lawyer
gleefully felt in his pocket for the
bank notes but when he pulled out
a hind foot his wrath broke forth
and the only thing that saved hi
client was fear of being fined fo1
contempt of court.
The negro was like most of hi
race superstitious and.had hoodoo
ed his attorney.

The Defender of the People.

Yankee Senator Frye, Of Maine,

Senator Gray was we'll justified in
pointing to the fact that while the
sheep growers and the wooden man

Beauty In Maturity.
Chicago Chronicle,

The physical beauty of women
should last, growing more and
more mellow until the end. That
the beauty of women, like that of
men, should be determined from
the standpoint of advancing ma
turity, cannot be disputed. 1t is
absurd to claim that the ripe, rich
beauty of forty is less attractive
than the budding immaturity of
sweet sixteen. When women live
In harmony with natures law each
stage of beauty has its own charm.
The fullness of beauty does not
reach its zenith under the age of
thirty-fve or forty. Helen, of
Troy, comes upon the stage at the
age of forty. Aspasia was thirty
six when married to Pericles, and
she was a brilliant figure thirty
years thereafter. Cleopatra was
past thirty when she met Antho-
ny, Diana de Poictiers was thir.
ty-six when she won the heart of
Henry ii. The King was half hel
age, but his devotion was never
changed. Anne, of Austria, was
thirty-eight when described as the
most beautiful women in Europe
Mime. De Maintenon was forty
three when united to Louis anc
Catherine, of Russia, was thirty,
three when she seized the thron,
and occupied it for thirty-fiv,
years.
Mile. Mar was most beautiful a
forty-five, and Nm. Recamier be
tween the ages of thirty-fve ant
fifty-five. The most lasting ant
intense passion is not inspired b,
two decade beauties. The old saw
about sweet sixteen is exploded b,
The truer knowledge that the high
est beauty does not dwell in i'm
maturity. For beauty does no
mean alone the fashion of form
and coloring as found in tn
waxen doll. The dew of youtI
and complexion of roses are ad
mirable for that period, but
woman's best and richest years al
from thirty-six to forty. 1t is al
rant error for any woman to +,
gard herself as passed at any ag,
IT she grows old gracefully.

Don't Wait so Long.

Why reserve the kind words Of
love until the dear one isgone and
cannot hear them? Why not give
your friend the flowers while they
are fresh and sweet, and not wait
to lay them on his tomb? While he
is struggling with Adversely, and
is cast down by disappointment
speak the words of affection you
will want to say when he lies cold
on his bier. Grasp his hand while
it is warm with the pulse of life
and can feel the pressure of your
own. When his heart is still in
death it cannot feel joy or sor-
row, and friend is no nearer than
stranger. Alas! how bitter the
memory of unkind words spoken
in haste, that have pierced ssthe
poor heart like a thorn, and left 8
painful sting behindl Could VIZ
recall our loved ones that have
gone from us, how we would try
to comfort them! What endear
ing terms we would usel But the,
will never return. Their lips ar
sealed with silence, and their ear
hear not the voice of love, o
praise, or of blame. Then speal
the words of love and sympath,
now while they are with you. B
kind and gentle to the little ones
They are with you today; tomor
row they sleep under the DAISIES.

Information About Greece.


Tt has population of 2,187,-
2O8.
1t is called "Hellas'' by its peo-
pie.
The mean temperature of Greece
is 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
No part of Greece is forty miles
from the sea or ten miles from the
hills.
About one-half of the popula-
ton are agriculturists and shep-
herds.
1t has an area of 54,977 square
miles.
1t is the only country in the
world whose armies are provided
with the Gras guns and paper-cov-
cred cartridges.
The Greek flag is white cross
on blue ground-the Bavarian col
ors and the Greek cross.
| Greece is more thickly popula-
ted than any other country in Eu-
rope, with the exception of Swe-
den and Prussia.
It has few rivers and many hills.
None of the former are navlgable,
and many Of the latter are forti-
fed
Its present boundary limits were
determined by an arrangement
among Great Britain, France,
Russia and Turkey, concluded at
Constantinople on July 81, 1885.
Only about 10000 of the inhab-
itants speak any other language
than Greek, and only about TO-
900 profess any religion other
than the orthodox.
t The chief characteristics of the
, average Greek are his inquisitive'
t ness, fondness for excitement, love
t of discussion, desire for knowl'
3 edge, an aptitude for learning and
aggressive patriotism.

That ere she sang, know.
And nobler deed by nobler nature done
And greater victory by conquest won,
But she--she loved me So"

Ere yet the sound on deafened ear shal

Is it ''overwork" that has filled this
country with nervous dyspeptics?- that
takes the flesh off their bones, the vital
ity from their blood, and makes them
feeble, emaciated and inefficient? No.
It is bad cooking, overeating of indiges-
tible stuff, and other Notwithstanding
habits.
The remedy is an artifcia1ly digested
food such as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial. Instead of irritating the already in
famed stomach the Cordial gives it a
chance to rest by nourlshing the system
itself and digesting other food taken with
it. So flesh and strength return. Is not
