Ter CT lis teme-ity. That sounds nice
AMI sentimental, but nowadays the
bravery usually consists in the man
being willing to pay the bill after my
lady has chosen what she desires to
possess in the way OF furs. Every wo-
man longs for sables-Russian sables-
but unfortunately every woman does
not get them. However, there are
other furs that are wonderfully bscom-
ing and which are within the reach OIL
the average woman. There is the blue
fox, which is gray, and which brings
cut the olive skin OF the brunette in
the most exquisite manner. Then there
are mink and ermine and black fox for
the blond, who if she has good bank
account makes herself look aanGsOme
in Russian blouse of sealskin having
a high collar of ermine. Almost any
trouble could be borne in such gar
ment, for the consultations of religion
would be weak beside it. There is some-
thing dignified about furs, and yet how
few women are dignified
The average woman, anxious to be
dignified, looks, to quote my old nam
my, 'as if she lad swallowed a poker,
or, to quote from recent importation
from Ireland, as if she had taken al
extra dose of ramrod tea" Dignity il
a something that Genes with years 0
experience, and it cannot be assumed
1t is singu,arly restful and has a pecul
lar charm Of it's own. Two digniiet
women, as unlike as possible. are til;
happy queen of England and the I'M
happy empress of France, and yet they
are so dignified-one tiny and so stou
that she can scarcely walk, but all who
approach her, or even see her, are con-
scious that she is a woman of dignity
and while she is kind and thoughtfu
and has been a good mother, yet she
is beyond frivolity, her very atnoS
rhere expressing the very best sort ol
dignity; the other, tall, slender, pc.
culiarly sad in Ter mourning robes
breathes the same spirit. The young
est soldier represents to her what her
son might have been, and for him she
las a kindly word, yet one feels, nc
matter how sheSmay speak in kindli-
ness, that he would not dare answer
her except in way apprcciative of the
position that she held.
Real dignity does not mean stiffness
or arrogance, but it is that some hing
that tells us that the woman we are
looking at has lived out noble, good
life and that the time has come for US

we feel in our hearts. The dignified
woman is the flower of humanity. You
know there are people who cannot dis
tlnguish between weeds and flowers.
Sometimes the sun has made the rose
come forth and bloom, surrounded it
with lovely green leaves and then I'D
around it have grown tall, poisonous
weeds, and people who don't know the

Good for Chicago.
rom the Atlanta Journal. |

From the Atlanta Journal
All of us who are not condemned
to live in Chicago occasionally say
hard things about the western me-
tropolis, but all good. cit zens will
now taAe off their hats to Chicago in
honor of her noble efforts to relieve
the suffering poor during the recent
spvere weather.
When the blizzard came the chief of
police. by direction of Mayor Swift
posted an immense sign at the cen
trail police station bearing the words,
No man, woman or child in Chicago
shall be without food and fire."
''This was the pledge of big un-
dertaking, but Chicago made her
word good. Such perfect organi-
cation for the relief of sUff ring was
probably never seeL in any other
American city, and the liberality
with which the people contributed to
the relief fund has seldom been
equaled.
There were in Chicago s 900 fami
lies, number 10000 people, In danger
of starvation. Hundreds Of then
would have persisted from cold anC
hunger but for the noble and we'll
dire cted efforts of the city authori

Suppose It Had Been Bryan ,

From the Atlanta Constitution
The fourth of March is almost here,
and the voice of the receiver is still
heard in the land.
Notwithstanding the wish which is
father to the thought that prospect
ty should come, banks crash, bust
ness enterprises are staggered, and
the receiver stands pre- eminent as
the advance guard of McKinleyism.
We were told that the mere tri-
umph OF ''sound money" would SO
compose matters that without furth
er fort business would take care of
itself. The triumph has come, the
date of Inauguration can be seen
over the hilltops of time, and there
is no Improvement.
Suppose Bryan had been elected,
how all these things would have been
charged up against free silverism
Since the reverse is the fact, are they
not as fairly chargeable to McKin-
leyism?
1t may be like rubbing turpentine
into raw place to ask the question,
but the people are asking it every
where.

The idea of a "North Carolina
Rolling Exposition" is assuming
shape and the car is now being con-
structed. The object of the exposi-
ton, as explained in a letter from
the. projectors, sis to bring before
the people of the North and North
west the many valuable interests
that this State abounds in, and after
carefully considering the matter for
Is months and making personal in
vestigations, which has consumed
both time and money, it appears to
us that in no way can this State be
brought before the great masses of
this country to better advantage
than by specially designed car in
which display can be made of
North Cardinals products. The
car will be filled entirely with exhibits
found and produced in this State.
Assistance in procuring creditable
exhibits is desired. This section
should be represented. Write to
Ramseur & Moore, Charlotte, N. c.,
If you are in position to offer sugges
tions on other aid.

Good Roads.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
A till has been introduced into the
New York Legislature providing for
a uniform system OF good roads. A
State Board of Highway Commits
siOners is provided for, which shall
meet at least once year in each
county of the State and make special
recommendations for that county,
furnishing plans, and designating
what specific improvements shall re-
ceive State assistance. The county
may or may not follow these recon-
mendations.
The bill meets with general ap-
prevail, there being no question as
to the ability of good roads,
both from the points of view of cor
venience and economy. The wear
and tear on vehicles is a serious mat
ter, and bad roads promote wear
and tear. Besides, much heavier
loads can be haul d with the same
power on good roads than on bad
ones. The getting to market of
agricultural products is a burning
question with the farmer. Good
roads facilitate the delivery Of farm
products, and const qnently increase
the pleasures of country life, and
would operate to check the drift
toward the cities now SO strong in
country districts.
The good roads movement liz pro-
crossing in many States.
