Inhdelity.

1t is in the desert where virtue trem-
bles to tread, where hope falters, and
where faith is cruoifed, the infdel
dreams. To him all there is of heaven
is bounded by this little span of life; all
there is of pleasure and love is circum-
scribed by a few deeting years; all there
is of beauty is mortal; all there is of in
telligence and wisdom is the human
brain; all there is Of mystery and in
fnity is fathomed by human reason,
and all there is OF virtue is measured
by the relations of man and man. To
him, all must end in the tongueless
silence of the dreamless dust, and all
that lies beyond the grave is a avoiceless
shore and starless sky. 10 him there
are no prints of deathless feet in its
echoless sand, no thrill Of immortal
music in its ioyless air. He has lost his
God and like some fallen seraph flying
in rayless night, he gropes his way on
tagging pinions, searching for light
where darkness reigns, for life where
death is king. Gov. r. L. Taylor.

About the Baby.

II you want your baby's eyes large
and fine keep it in dark room the
hrst month Of its life-in room with
green shades. Did you ever notice how
large and liquid baby's eyes are in
their tranquil opening in its shaded
corner, and how they retreat and shrink
up when the light is admitted? That is
the foundation of the miserable, small
eyes and peering sight which disfigure
our people-that and the school books
and the small print newspapers and
monthly magazines. "Impure air also
ruins young eyes and dulls their color, I"
says Shirley Dare, who is now prepared
to give advice to the third generation.
'In nine cases out of ten baby cries
from cold, or the effects of cold, such as
collie and various internal disturbances.
Give a child pure air, good handling
and keep it warm, but lightly clad, and
it will survive even a bringing up on
patent baby food, if that must be.
When it goes out put the hot soapstone
we'll wrapped under the pillow on which
it lies; put it near the child's feet,as he
rests, and he will sleep surprisingly.
When old enough to be taken up dress
him warmly with long silk sleeves and
bag-like stockings of feece-lined silk
up to the thigh stockings heI can kick
about in, but can not kick off, as they
are tied to the most indispensable part
of his furnishings-and you secure
healthy skin and well-khit muscle
growth. Close stockings are quite
enough to cramp and distort ITS fee
and legs for life.

Lace PettIcOats are Called In.

A word Of warning ON the folly Of
wearing lace-trimmed petticoat after
the month of October. The poverty
stricken appearance of mud d.bedraggled
lace hounces can scarcely be paralleled
and they haye not even the extenuating
virtue of being inevitable, as there are
any number Of decorative alternatives,
such as two or three rows Of guipure
insertion laid on to silk founce, or a
similar arrangement of bebe ribbon in
Ave or six different colorings. A broader
ribbon also looks very we'll fixed in
shallow vandykes, and l have seen the
latter idea carried out with excellent
effect in black ribbon velvet on q deli

PUBLISH LIST OF PENSIONERS.
Tens Of Thousands of Undeserving Persons
Drawing Pay.

Washington, D. c., Dec. "a bill
will be introduced in congress and
pressed for passage this session provid-
ing for the publication Of list of per-
sons now drawing pensions from the
United States, for the purpose OF sub
mitting it to the public scrutiny. The
ultimate object is to secure criticism
and information concerning those
whose names will appear. There are
tens of thousands of persons drawing
pensions who are not entitled to them.
and have obtained them by fraud, al-
though it is difficult to prove it. Ii a
list of the names Of pensioners in every
county or township was posted in
conspicuous place with brief state
ment Of the military service claimed,
the amount of the pension and the rea-
son Why it was granted, it would doubt
less bring down upon the commissioner
here voluntary evidence from neigh
bors and former comrades OF the great
est value. There Is no good reason
why the pension list should not be
made public. A pension is badge Of
honor, o reward for patriotism and
faithful military service, and its value
is very much reduced in the mind of
every honest citizen when it is enjoyed
by unworthy men and is conferred upon
those who have no title to 1t,
II the pension list should be publish
ed as proposed the revelation would
cause astonishment in every communi-
ty. 1t would expose thousands of i'm
posters aud men who performed mill
tary service, or so little that they would
not be able to face their former COM
rades. Every now and then the agents
of the pension bureau stumble over
cases in which men who performed lit
tie or no service during the war have
been awarded honors which none but
crippled veterans are entitled to, and
others who are in ill health or are dis
abled are receiving credit and compen-
sation for disabilities that can in no
way be attributed to their military
service. This movement was not pro-
posed by civilians or enemies of the
pension system 1t is backed by the
Loyal Legion and members OF the
Grand Army Of the Republic, who feel
a pride in their pensions and are de-
termined to do all they can to drive the
frauds out of the pension Office just as
they drove them out Of the camps dur
ing the war.

CRUEL WHEELS CUT HIM IN TWAIN.
Arthur Campbell Flagman, Killed on South
ern Railway.

AS freight train No. "a was about
pulling out for Asheville at 1 o'clock
this afternoon Flagman Arthur r.
Campbell, Of johnson City, tripped
and fell under the wheels, and in an in
slant his body was severed and he died
in short time.
The terrible accident occurred almost
directly underneath the Gay street rail
road bridge, The train had been made
up for the trip, but one of the coal
cars near the rear was found out of
order and instructions were given by
the conductor to drop the car. Flag
man Campbell stepped between the
cars and began removing the coupling
pin. When he had almost completed the
work another order was received for
the train to move up Campbell re-
ceiyed the instruction and had gotten
out of the way of the moving train
when he noticed the coupling pin was
almost out Of its place. He stepped
again between the moving cars to put
it in its proper position While trying
to replace the pin and at the same time
moving with the advancing train his
foot caught between the guard rail and
the main track and in ON instant he was
drawn under the wheels. He fell across
the lrack and before anything could be
done to stop the train one whole car
and the front wheels of another ran
over him and he was cut entirely in
two at the hips. His trunk fell face
forward upon the right.side of the track.
The cruel wheels had done their dread
full work. He uttered an exclamation
as he fell, but not another word was
spoken, though he lived half an hour
after the accident.
Arthur Campbell was white man
and lived at Johnson City. He had moi
long been connected with the Southern
railway, though he had been in the en-
ploy of other railroads for about siz
years. He was a young man about Is
years of age and had the reputation Of
being faithful employe.
The terrible accident took place in
full view of the bridge and in few
minutes an immense throng gathered
about the railing. After some dely the
remains were picked up and removed
to the baggage department and after
wards to the undertaking establish
ment They were SHIPPED this after
noon at Abs to johnson City.-Knox

Those Who Endure

The pains of rheumatism should be re-
minded that cure for this disease may
be found in Hoods Sarsaparilla. The
experience of those who have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheumatism,
and have been completely and perma-
nently cured, prove the power of this
medicine to rout and conquer this dis
ease. Hoods Sarsaparilla is the One
True Blood Purifier and neutraliZes the
acid which causes the aches and pains
of rheumatism. This is why it absolutely
cures when liniments and other out
ward applications fail to give perma-
nent relief Be sure to get Hoods.

Length in Style.

One of the distinctive features of the
new skirt is that it is cut very long in
front. The feet must be completely
hidden, and the front breadth must be
as narrow as possible. Most skirts
made of double width material will have
one narrow front breadth and widely
gored one at each side, to give the re-
quisite fullness at the back. Plainly
made skirts will be favored, such trim
mings as are used being almost exclu-
siyely flat ones and applied either to
the lower part or running up each side
of the front breadth. Flounces will
only be used for evening dresses and
will not reach much above the knee.
