states Court--Other Legal Notes OF
Interest.

In the Court of Law and Chancery
yesterday the case of John Il. HUMMER
VS. the Consumers Brewing Company
was begun. Mr.. Hummer sues foi
breach of contract on the part Of the
defendant company, by which he al
lcges to have been damaged to the eX-
tent of $4,000.
Mr.. Hummer entered into a contract
with the general manager of the Con
sumers' Brewing Company in 1896,
shortly after that company was form
ed. By this contract the brewing COM
pany was to furnish beer to Mr.. Hum
nIcr at Greensboro, y. G.. at stated
terms for year. with the privilege oi
extending the contract five years given
Mr. Hummer The brewing company
by this contract was also to furnish the
necessary advertising matter to give
the beer good sale in Greensboro.
After having acted upon this con-
tract Tor eight ITI0TTTfTs,
leges that he received notice that the
company would no longer attempt to
carry out the contract. the Board al
Directors repudiating it on the ground
that it had not been ratified by the
proper officials. The PLAINTIFF attor-
neys, Mcssrs. Heath Il Heath. argued
yesterday that the general manager
the defendants counsel, Mr. Edward
II. Baird. claimed that the contract
was not legal because IL was not under
the presidents and sccretary's seal
and had not been ratified by the Board
of Directors.

HOME VAMPIRES.

The Nsgging Woman Defeats the Life
Purpose of the Man She Should En-.
courage.
The man who leaves the breakfast
table and enters the public ways with
the shame of q home COZ Act upon
him, in which he has commended for
side OF the question, refusing
to yield his point to the very last, will
not be likely to wear the appearance
of a knight; and if he has submitted
meekly to injustice, and has felt CON
tcious of being misunderstood, if he
has the smallest germ of manhood in
his nature, he must writhe under the
treatment, and cannot step like a con-
queror or go forth with the courage
necessary to win great things in the
world. Such a one must wear the
look of the var uished, no matter how
loyal his heart may be or how strong
his original purpose for true service.
And what often makes the condition
moro pitifuI is the fact that the hus-
band is large souled, willing to give
moro than he receives, ready to make
sacrifices of his own ease, pleasure
and comfort generally while trying to
serve his precious purpose for a future
fulRlIment. Though he closes his eyes
against the sight of selfishness in the
woman whom he chose as the fairest
and sweetest and best he cannot but
feel the awful despair of defeat, all on
account of the fascinating, unprinci-
pied woman whom he took to share his
life.
The woman who can thus bring de-
feat to a high souled, unselffsh man is
the vampire" that has been portrayed
with such unerring skill by Kipling,
and many a poor victim of a narrow
minded wife might recognize in it his
own experience:
On, the toll we lost, and the spoil We
lost,
And the excellent things we planned,
Belong to the woman who didn't know
why
EAnd now we know she knew
Why
And did not understand.
And it isn't the shame, and it isn't the
blame
That stings like a white hot brand;
Its coming to know that she never
knew why
(SeeinR at last she could never know
whyl
And lever could understand.

mans Home Companion.

Kipling's Poem Was Inspired by Philip
Burne Jones Painting.
In your issue OF the 18th inst. ap
pears Rudyard Kipling's poem, THE
Vampire" To appreciate any literary
product, whether prose or poem, one
has to understand the environments
of the author at the time OF its concep
ton. THE Vampire" aside from it's
literary merit, has its practical applica
Uion, aIasl too easily applied In this
materialistic age, when our children
are educated with the aim in view OF
place and preferment, regardless Of the
price they pay in the shrinkage OF soul
and heart and idealisEic values. KIP
ling's inspiration, or rather practIcal
conclusion, as set forth in his poem,
was drawn from Philip Burne Jones
painting Z, The Vampire" now on ex
hibition in London. The picture Is a
strange and original representation OF
the medieval olk-lore tradition OF
the ghost simulacre, wrich returns

out of living men. Hitherto artists
have conceived the vampire to be a
hideous monster, usu ally in the form
of a huge bat. Burne Jones depicts
the vampire as a beautiful, nude Wo
man. she is bending over the form OF
a dying man lying 10 bed, with a great
red spot upon his breast, from which
the last of his life's blood Is oozlng
There is no trace of anguish upon her
beautiful, m~aterialistIc face. There IL
no quivering of the muscles about her
dellcately moulded mouth. There Is
no moisture to bedim the lustre Of he
worldly, bright eyes. N onor and
faith and sure intent" have lost theII
signifcanc 9 to her. She has draw hi

a. soon as the cool nights in Septem'
Der come they will at once cover them

The scarlets, carmines, marroons,

scarle of color in the geranium are not
surpassed, and we may say scarcely
equaled in any other class Of plants,
whether annual or perennial, and their

OWE IN The HOUSE.

An excellent box in which the seeds
for early flowers can be Gown is about
eighteen inches long, dfteen inches
wide and three and one half inches
deep. This box can be placed in the
window beside the cutting box. A
good soil for the reed box is made OF
three fourths soddy loan and one
fourth sand; this mixture gives a sod
that drains we'll and does not run TO-
Rether after it has been WaEePed a few
times.
In this box can be sown pansy, YER
bena, petunia, snap dragon, sweet
ais esum, SALIVA sptendens, or seeds or
any other similar plants that will stand
transplanting and are desired for early
blooming. rough plants can be
grown in a box of this size to supply q
good sized flower garden.
When the Gala lily begins to bloom,
if the pots are placed into shallow pans

be found to last much longer and re-

where water is simply applied to the

COOKING AND SOME OTHER MATTERS.

h AMI 0OMH O4ANLh
Dear Aunt Jennie:-When the
weeks work ia ended and the Sabbath
has begun it often finds me worn and
weary, but as the hours pass by and
the lessons from the Holy Bible enter
into my soul, I reallze something OF
that blessed promise which the Savior
gave to his disciples, peace I leave
with you. my peace l give unto you,
not as the world giveth, give I unto
YOU" The world may give wealth and
honor, but it can not give peace to a
troubled conscience. Government may
provide good laws and protection but
1t cannot legislate Christianity into the
heart of any.
Our tables may groan with the lux
uries heaped upon them, but II Christ
fails to be present at our meals no
living bread will be there. Our bodies
NAV be clothed with the richest that
the looms afford, but if we wear not
the robe of righteousness we will not
oe permitted to sit down at the table OF
the L lrd when he comes And 80 1t ls,
tnat | love to tell to you and the others
belonging to our Social Chat, that
which 1 hope the majority OF you al
ready experience, concerning the
riches of Gods everlasting love. Be
cause in the beauties Of nature whether
they are found
Glowing in the stare,
q. glistening with the deWdrops
Floating on the wild winds
o. whitening the mountain tops
o. dancing In the sunlight,
Teemlng with life,
The many forms Of beauty
That gladden. our sight.
Cooking is a science which is 30
easily learned, that it seems strange
that env one should not be able to
cook we'll, but it often happens that q
girl is not trained to cooking at the
time when she is best able to learn, and
then it is always a drudgery to her. 30
it was with me A bad fall when l was
a very little girl prevented me from
learning to cook until I was nearly
grown. The time to teach a girl to
cook ia when che exhibits an interest
in cooking. Generally this interest
shows itself at about the sixth year o.
the child's age, and grows with the
