DEATH AND THE RESURREC-
TON.

Mrs. Mcclellan, relict of Alexander
McKethan, was buried at McPherson's
Church to day. She was eighty six
years and five months old.
To day 1 stood by the cohn's side
OF a mother in Israel" who lately
died;
I saw the tears and heard the signs
At the breaking apart Of natures ties.
And, as 1 gazed on the silent form,
| thought of life, it's tut MOL and storm
And l thought Of death as peaceful
rest
When the spirit has flown to the Sa-
vior's breast.
And l felt as though an angel bard
Had come from heaven, that far away
land,
In robes of white and bore above
Another soul on the wings Of love.
And l thought again of another band
OF angels sent from the heavenly land
To minister comfort, peace and rest
To those who mourn by sorrow Op,
pressed.
And 1 thought of heaven as ear by;
When the solemn silence Of death is
And 1 felt the presence of Him who
wept
At the tomb where Lazarus body
slept.
/ thought of Him, whose voice august
Shall wake each sleeper in the dust,
When conquered death shall let go It's
hold,
AS wide the pearly gates unfold.
Then parent and child, and husband
and wife,
And brother and sister, in the endless
life,
Shall greet each other with bliss un
told
When all are gathered into the fold.
MRS. MARY K. FILLYAw.

Gov, Pingree in his inaugural address
urged the abOlishing, in his state Mich

use of direct vote in nominating candi-
dates; the use of the referendum in
granting quasi public franchises two

and income tax. And about the next
thing Gov. Pingree knows he will be
considered a good populist sven if he
is like others afraid of the namel At

KEPT RANSOM FOR HIS STYLE
w. T. CUTCHIN.

Ransom was perhaps the best dressed
man in the Senate, says the Chicago
Times Herald. He was more perticu-
lar about his linen and his general ap-
pearance than he seemed to be about
the laws of his country. As he walked
to his seat ct the noon hour every day
ne looked as if he had just left his bar
Der and his tailor.
Speaking about this feature. Of the
North Carolina gentleman n day
Villas said that during q trip he hsd
made to Buncombe county, North
Carolina, he met a man named Jones,
who invited him to his stables to look
at a pretty horse. He was a hand
some animal" continued Villas, ''and
asked Jones if he was Of HambletOnian
stock. He replied in the negative. A
runner, then, l asked. Jones said that
he couldn't catch a tortoise. Family
pet2 l suggested. Again I was mis-
taken. See here then,' l said to Jones,
what in the world are you taking such
excellent care of him for if he is worth
less7'
Look here, mister, he replied, that
horse is named Matt Ransom, and ]
am just 'er keeping him for style.
And the reason Ransom is always re
turned to the Senate, continued Villas,
lis because North Carolina is proud Of
his style"
When Ransom heard of this he was
furious. He went to Villas and warned
him that if he ever heard of his repeat
ing the story he would make it a per
sonal matter with him.

but for the boiling Populists they could
have elected a Populist. But with

pied and bring in no revenue what ever to the State. When ceded to the railroad company the lands become taxable at once. In this manner the lands will pay for them selves in taxation in 8 period of five years, to say nothing of the ad- vantages to be derived from the railroad and the taxes it would pay to the State. One thousand acres Of the land is worth $I, ,250. The average cost of one mile of railroad is $26, 000 For $1, 250 in idle lands the State would get $27 ,250 in tax able property. And then there is another thought: With q railroad running through this section these lands would soon be occupied and converted from a desert waste, as it were, into productive and remuner- ative soil, filling our State with population, thereby making more business and adding increased reve- nues to the State. We need more railroads, more farms and factories, and more people. All go hand-in- hand together, and if we get the railroads the others will follow This is a practical question and should be disrobed of sentimental ism. We hope to see the bill also pass the House.

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
A LITTLE HERO.

How Bennie Moran Rescued His Little
 Sister From Burning House.
 The saver of human life stands in the front rank of heroes. And the hero whose name is on every tongue in the city of Detroit is Bennie Moran, little boy of 3 years, who is a hero at an age when most children are aIumbering in their mothers arms.
 Bennie, however, like many another hero who has risked life and limb in ef. forts to rescue the helpless, takes the honors heaped upon him by admtring friends in modest way and thinks that when he carried his little 2-year-old sister from his fathers burning house he did little more than any other boy would do.
 It took but Q few short seconds for Bonnie to perform this act that will bring him glory through all his days. It was on Tuesday, Nov. IF, late in the afternoon, when Mrs. Moran kissed her two babes as they lay playing upon the

A GREAT deal has been said and written of Mr. Vanderbilt's wonder full castle, not in Spain, where most peoples possessions are, but near Asheville, North Carolina, which surpasses in magnitude and beauty anything to be found elsewhere in the world, says the New Orleans States. For the accomplishment of this grand project he determined to devote his income Of three years, or the handsome sum of $15, 900, 900. As the ground work he purchased 130, ,000 acres of land which is inter- sected by clear-running creeks and rivers. Trees and shrubbery from all lands have been transplanted; 65 miles of macadamized roads and numberless bridges Of stone arches with vines and flowers trailing over the abutments have been built. The estate is represented to be full of the most beautiful things that money can buy, and people who visit the place pronounce it veri- table paradise. It may be un- gracious to mar the harmony of this magnificent picture, but one cannot repress a feeling of regret that much of it must needs come to waste when the peineely builder shall have passed away and no one left to bear the enormous expense of it's maintenance.

Kitchen floor and started for q nearby StoTu. The children were alone in the hoUs2, and what happened between the time Mrs. Moran left and tho fire con- pany dashed up to the blazing house in response to all alarm of fire was gleaned from the little hero bit by bit after tho excitement had subsided.
 Bennie, tired of playing on the kitch- en floor, shortly after his nother lef6 opened door leading into tke back yard, with the intention of going out there to play. A sudden puff of wind from the open door caught tho curtains at window near lighted gasoline stove, aud in an instant they were ig- nited. The frightened child looked back and in moment saw the entire wall blSzing with fire. He then remembered the oft repeated warnings from his fa- ther about fire and started for the side door with the intention of escaping into the street. The door was locked, but he quickly found the key, unlocked the door and run out into the street. And then, out in the clear air, free from tho smoke and flame, he commenced tG think. His little sister was in there, and the flames were creeping closer and closer.
 He hesitated not an instant, but start ed to enter the house once more. He was met by cloud of flame and smoke at the door. Not for q moment did he falter. but plunged in headlong, with only one thought ill his mind, and that his little baby sister. He groped his way to tho center of the room through the stifling air and found her sitting on the floor, crying softly ill & frightened way. He placed his arms around her and, hali carrying, half dragging, brought her te the door and then out into tho open air and left her safe in the street.
 He did not consider his duty perform ed yet, however, and started for a neigh bors house, crying at the top of hil voice: ''Ifire Firel Papa s house is burn ing upl" The entire neighborhood wax quickly aroused. and, with the aid of the fire company, which appeared on ths sceno shortly. the flames were extin. guished.
