Brother Morgaganloan Eve had
been members of the same church
for fifteen years., and asked him to
help me out. He said he would
like to accommodate me, yes indeed,
nothing would give him more pleas

first mortgage-gilt-edged security,
so to speak. So sorry he could do
nothing for me, and would excuse
him as he had a most pressing en-

on farm where the chance Of rails

is sure, and other crops very uncer-
tain.
Well, now, | am getting back
to where branched off. Soon
after we had gotten settled in the
old bat-cave we now call home, /
brought Mary and the children in
to revival meeting which was in
progress in our church at that time.
We were little late, and the meet
ing had begun before we got there,
and Brother Percent was
speaking when we entered. yes,
he was saying, my home is sure.
For we know that if our earthly
house and tabernacle were dis
solved we have Il building of God,
a house not made with hands eter-
nal in the heavens. Pm G lad Jesus
died for me so | might have a
share in this house which he has
prepared for me from the founda-
ton of the world. We all know
how beautiful the hands of the
builder can make our earthly dwell
lings; and oh, how beyond all pow
ers of speech to portray will be the
glories of that house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
"If there is one sinner here to
night who has no place in that
celestial home, let him come now
and get right with God and'-

stand, and I rose and saiu: Hold
on there, Brother Percent, and let
me see if you can read your title
, clear to mansions in the skies, be-
, fore YOU invite others to meet you
r there.
"Christ says, 1T is easier for a
, camel to 60 through the eye of a
) needle than for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of God And woe unto
them that join house to house, and
lay field to field till there be nc
place. Or hear Gods servant job
denounce the representative of un.
} righteous greed, because he hath
forsaken the poor; because he hath
: violently taken away house which
he hath not builded.' That, Bro
, Percent, is exactly what you
did for me-took a house which
you had not builded, and left my
family and myself without roof
to shelter us. You took our land,
our only means of making a living,
taking the bread out OF our mouths,
thus adding field to field, for which
you had no need.
elbow will you answer the Mas
ter when he asks you if you have
done unto others as you would that
they should do unto you? And if
you have done His will on earth as
it is done in heaven? Remember

The shah of Persia owns the most
valuable armchair in the world. 1t is
CT solid gold, inlaid with precious
stones. AT one time some of the stones
were stolen from one of the legs of the
chair, and the indignant shah ordered
the arrest of a number of his servants
and held the keeper of the furniture re-
sponsible for the loss, with the intima-
tion that If the thief were not discov-
cred the keeper would be beheaded.

Its what we've been doing so much
whispering about lately" said Syd.
For me-" said Edna. slowly. "a
surprise party!" She grew red; her
eyes filed. "Oh. dearl I've been aw-
fully mean. I've been real hateful and
horrid. Oh, dear me, SUI! II would
have served me right II rd-wen. I'd
just ought to have broken an arm, or
something!"
NO. you hadn't" said Gilbert. "It
was real spunky of you to do 1t. Edna"
Two or three lessons, and you'll be
dabster with an ice boat" said Syd.
"And it's all right about the surprise
party" said Gilbert, "all but the sur
prise; we'll have 1t just the same.
You'll have just as much fun. any how.
Come on! We'll go the rest OF the way
on the ice boat. seeing it's here. And
look sharp. and We'll show you how
to run her"
"oh. dear!" said Edna, again. "rve
been too outlandish for anythlng!"
And when they brought the ice boat
she took her seat on it meekly.
But there was new brightness in
her eyes and new happiness In her
heart. For Gilbert and sgd would
never again seem to her like enemies:
they were her good, loyal friends.

FRILLS OF FASHION.
Small Items of Dress Which Are In
Favor the Present
Season.

A little close-t;ed bow of mirror VEL
vet, with faring ends, is one of the
pretty touches on the new gowns. 1t is
fastened with jeweled buckle on the
lower edge of the collar band, directly
In front, without any regard to the ma
terial of which the band is made, and is
always in some contrasting color.
Black is often used, even when it is the
only bit of black in the gown, and as
most of the neck bands are white now
adays the bow is very effective. Mirror
velvet ribbon and satin ribbon, tied
in a short bow, with long ends, form
another fancy In bows for the neck
The ends are sometimes finished with
jet or silk fringe. Bias velvet is also
used for bows, and bias liberty satin
IN black makes another pretty finish
for the neck on bright blue or pink
silk waist. The satin is narrowly
trimmed in the edges and draped mar
rowly around the neck on the lower
edge of the white lace-covered collar.
1t ties directly in front in very short
bow, carried down the front, and tied
III hhOt OSt"CSh tHC hCSfN
and belt, underneath which the ends
fasten.
Tulle and mousseline de sole rosettes
are the prettiest trimming imaginable
for velvet toque, as they give the de-
sired contrast in light effect which a
velvet hat needs.
Tie long lace barbs which have been
stored away in the treasure box for
years may be brought out once more
and used for a recktie. They are long
enough to lie in the fashionable man.
ner, and it hardly matters what kind
of lace Is worn.
Fashionable dress fabrics are varied
indeed this season, but it is the soft
clinging textures that have first place.
A new cloth called drap de chine, soft
faced cloths and drap d'ete are all worn.
and the silks must be soft and plia bic,
or they have no style. Fleur de velours
make beautiful gowns, and the old
fashioned armure and ottoman silks
are coming into favor again. The pref
test of all the fabrics for dressy gown
is the new crepe de chine, as glossy as
satin. To be sure, it costs three, four
or five dollars yard, but then this is
an extravagant age.-N. Y. Sun.

A POINT OF HONOR.
How Duel Between Celebrated Mep
Of Nearly . Century AGO
Was Prevented.

Last June Mr.. Augustine Jacouelin
Smith, of New York, son of the late
Mr.. Augustine C. Smith, of Winchester.
Va, was at the University Of Virginia
as the representative of Mr.. C. b. Rouss
at the dedication of the Rouss physical
laboratory, which the blind million
aire founded. While here Mr.. Smith
met lady, descended from William
c. Rives and bearing his name, and re-
lated how his father and the states
man had once appeared on the field
OF honor as mortal antagonists. Re-
Gently Mr.. Smith has written an ac-
count of this affair, from which the
following Is taken:
my father when at William and
Mary college in 1905, had as classmates
John Tyler, afterwards president Of
the United States; William c. Rives.
afterwards United States senator and
minister to France, and Abel p. Up
shur, afterwards secretary of state un-
der Mr.. Tyler. They were like broth
ers. But one day in heated discus
sion between them, the purport of
which | never learned, words of not
very amiable nature were exchanged
between young Rives and my father,
and they went out upon the field des-
ignated by the code where wounded
honor was to be yindicated North
Carolina was selected as the place
where the battle would take place, and
to that state the combatants quickly re-
paired. A venerable looking gray
haired old gentleman in the neighbor-
hood Of the spot chosen for the con-
test had been told of the suspicious
assemblage, and he hastened to the
scene. He reached the ground just as
the principals had taken their positions
for hostile action. He pleaded for q
hearing. He told of his own expert
ence of similar nature--of his hav-
ing killed dear friend ON the field
of honor for trifiing matter that
might have been so easily settled but
for false pride. He told of his unhap-
piness since. and of the never-ce asing
remembrance of the sad event and of
the scene upon the field when the NOR
tai wound had sent into eternity a
young man in vigorous health and of
splendid ability. He spoke, also, of the
misery that came to more than one
household because a dear one had been
slain. AS he told all this the tears
rolled down the burrows of his kind
hearted but sad face. The effect may
be imagined. Each face was moistencd
with the tears that could not be re-
pressed. His story was the counter
part of the case which had brought the
two young men before him who were
then facing each other in hostile atti-
tude. They all recognized this fact,
and halt was called. A reconciliation
took place, and both principals lived
many years afterwards to serve their
country with distinction-Mr Rives to
become one of the most distinguished
men Of the time in the civil department
of the republic. and my father to serve
his country and state in both the mill
tary and civil service, as a colonel for
years in the regular army, and after
his resignation in order to return to
the bar. which he preferred, to serve
with distinction in the senate Of his
native estate."-Richmond Disnatch

THE SNOWSTORM,

From out the north last night a spirit
came
Waving a wizard wand. This morn
ing, 10,
An immeasurable vastitude of snow
Setting the earth as In fawless frame!
From hill to hill the landscape seems the
same:
The wandering rillet half forgets to flow
Like pilgrims. standing in a solemn row.
The druid trees the sorcerer's power pro-
claim.
How silently this white magician tolls.
His feet noiseless as the feet Of Time
Whose SHOWS, relentless and remorse-
less, cling:
We may escape this necromancer's coils
When spring unlocks the letters of his
rime.

for this reason the item from the Pleas

AT LOW TIDE.

Ia purpose dead? Desire fallen asleep?
And is there naught will make
This sluggish pulse of mine,
Which scarce doth creep,
A faster pace to keep?
For life seems only half awake.
That which was once song divine.
And set my heart a-throbbing to its note.
Is now a discord in a minor key.
And lost its melody.
Ambition Is an art which lies sup.ne.
For like a boat
Battered and beaten by the storms gone
by
Tossed high upon the beach.
Beyond the grasping reach
OF tortuous wave and cruel tide,
Ny shattered hopes and aspirations lie.
Indifferent to whatever fate betide am l.
