"a kisE," she said, "is an expression
OF sentiment. Placed upon the hand it
signifies respect; upon the forehead,
friendship; upon the lips, both-and
more, or neither. Since you have ask

He sowed, and hoped for reaping-
A happy man and wise;
The clouds-they did his weeping,
The wind-it sighed his sighs.
He made what Fortune brought him
The limit of desire;
Thanked God for shade in summer
days,
In winter time. for fire.
When tempest, as with vengeful rod,
His earthly mansion cleft,
On the blank sod. he still thanked God
Life and the land were left!
Content, his earthly race he ran,
And died-so people say
Some ten years later than the man
Who worried his life away.

The Statesman.
He sits where the throng may behold

He sits where the throng may behold
him,
And pensively gazes on high,
And they say, as gloom seems to en-

Inspiration is certainly nigh."
Then swiftly paper he seizes
And traces it over with ink,
And they echo, like whispering breezes,
Now watch him; he's going to

Affcctionate Remembrance
[Lynchburg' News, !

Those Lynehburgers who in many
years past have attended Washington
and Lee University and the Virginia
Military Institute have learned with
deep grief of the death of Hugh Nc
Crum. Every student who has been in
Lexington in the past ten or fifteen
years, and every cadet remembers Mr..
McCrum as one Of the pleasant acquaint-
ances of college days, and they also
remember how high place he occu-
pied in their regard At all times he
was interested in their plans and under
takings, and there was never an occas-
ion when he did not give them his
sympathy and assistance. Polite,
courteous, and affable he was always
approachable, and those who entered
his place of business invariably met with
q warm and cordial welcome. In the
community in which he lived, he was
highly respected, and when the dread
disease with which he suffered for so
many years first attacked him, he was
entering upon a business career of I'M
usual promise, with future full of
success and happiness.

WOMEN PASS THE PLATES.

The:Rev, DR., L: G.. Broughton, pas
tor Of the Third Baptist church, Of At
lanta, made an innovation Sunday ight
in the methods of his church which
caused a sensation in his flock. Hitler
to six staid and sober deacons have
passed around the collection plates
but Sunday night six young women OF
the congregation performed the duty
The substitution caused many curious
changes. Young men and susceptible
bachelors, who previously had been IN
the habit Of dropping small coins into
the plate, searched neryously in their
clothing for fugitive quarters and hall
dollars, and eventually gave much more
than they expected to give when they
entered the church.
The young women preserved the
gravest demeanor, making the rounds
of every aisle and stopping before every
member of the congregation. When
they marched solemnly to the pulpit tc
the swelling tones Of the organ, then
plates were well filed. On counting
up the amount turned in, it was found
that the collection was larger than any
in recent months.
