Miserllaneous &saains.
THE NEWSPAPER ON THE FARM
TO BE CONTINUED.

Poems have been written,
And songs have been sung,
Of lofty deeds of daring,
And the world has fairly rung
With great and noble efforts,
And victories bravely won,
Tasks grandly finished
Because so we'll begun;
But one of the treasures of daily life,
So common, yet so rare,
Like the water we so freely drink,
And the pure, life-giving air,
Is the newspaper, with is precious gifts
And almost magic charm,
AS it comes to break the monotony
OF life upon the farm.
Farm life without its presence
Would be a daily round
OF John have you fed the stock?"
when you goin' to town."
Who was in that wagon?
didn't know the team
How much do you guess the hog II
weigh
When he comes to tip the beam?"
Did you take good care
Of the old gray mare?"
"Cuttin' hickory with this dull ak
Would make a preacher swear"
Did you hear old Highly say,
What hay is bringin' now,
And pork Is worth a pound?"
THE old red cow kicked jest as If
She meant to break an arm,"
But the newspaper, it comes to break
The monOtony of the farm.
/ wonder how the women lived,
What their lives could have been,
With no magazine or paper,
No sketch from any pen;
Only, What is butter bringing?
Are your cows doing well?"
''Is there anything catching your chick
ens?"
"Jakey is learning to SPELL"
Notice Mrs. Jones' bunnit?
She got it just last week;
She an Miss Raymond's got SO mad,
They say they'll never speak,"
But the newspaper, with it's many gifts
And stories meant to charm,
Comes like peace sent message,
To the dwellerS on the farm.
On winter evenings when all meet,
And gather round the fire,
With bright eXpectant faces,
And innocent desire:
The father pleasantly saying,
Better read the story first;
That feller was in a tight place
Let's see if he needs a hearse,
Then next We'll hear the market,
And then the young folks page,
What are they dOln' In congress,
And where the blizzards rage"

You like to read so we'll"
mo! Let the rest hear their parts first
guess I can swat a SPELL"
TO manhood. age and youth:
With pure bright thoughts from man!
minds
And many a pleasant truth.
Bedtime is sure to come too soon,
Fatigue is quite forgot;
So many things to talk about,
The daily task seems naught:
The young folks still look forward,
TO evenings filled with cheer,
Until. this paper all read through,
The next one shall appear.
The mind that without food becomes
A weedy barren waste.
Grows with the thought it feeds upon
And forms a healthy taste;
The newspaper. with it's precious gifts
And naught that's meant to harm,
Breaks like a ray Of sunshine
The mOnotony Of the farm.

can make no difference in our rela-
tiOnS."
Her whisper. which had been but n
breath before, became scarcely audi,
BILE.
II did not pause at the gate you en-.
tered" she said. 81 went in after you. ~
A gasp of irresistible feeling escaped
him, but he did not take his eyes from
her face.
"It was long time before you came
out" she went on, "but before that
time the shade Of certain window
was thrust aside and"-
'IIush! he commanded, in uncon-
trollable passion, pressing his hand
with impulsivc energy against her
mouth. "Not another word of that OF

Her eyes. which were all she had re,
naming to plead with, took on q pecul
lar look Of quiet satisfaction and pow
er. Seeing it, he let his hand fall and
for the first time began to regard her
with anything but q lovers eyes.
81 was the only person in sight at
that time" she continued. you have
nothing to fear from the world at
large"
"Fear"
The word made Its own echo. She
had no need to emphasize it even by a
smile. But she watched him as it
sunk into his consciousness with an
intentness it took all his strength to
sustain. Suddenly her bearing and ex-
preston changed. The few remains of
sweetness in her face vanished, and
even the allurement which often lasts
when the sweetness Is gone disappear
ed in the energy which now took pos
session of her whole threatening and
infexible personality.
Marry me-" she cried, "or I will
proclaim you to be the murderer of
Agatha Webb"
She had seen the death of love in
his eyes.

AS TO DEBT PAYING.
Eyery Man Who Owes Should do His Best
Don't Dodge Creditors.

Along this time of year, and especial
ly of a year like the present one. the
struggle between honesty and dishon-
esty begins in the hearts Of many peo-
ple There are so many good excuses
for not paying what we owe, now that
paying time has come. 1t Is so much
easier to dodge or put off creditors than
to take the hard earned and scanty
supply of money and pay up. In fact
the temptation is not confined to those
who can barely or not quite make
buckle and tongue meet. 1t spreads
like an infection, along with the eX-
cuse. A., who is in comfortable cir
cumstances, being unabled to collect
from b., who is doubtful to pay, makes
that a reason for refusing to settle his
own debt to c. So it goes.
It is the truth that nothing is harder
to do than to face man you owe and
cannot pay. Many a man who would
march bravely to certain death, Will
dodge and shrink and run away like
coward rather than face his creditor,
and when cornered will whine and lie
and make promises he knows he can
not keep and does not intend to keep.
The straightforward, manly, honest
way is always the best. Seek your cred
itor instead of making him chase you
and having you feel like an escaped jail
bird or a criminal afraid of detection
Tell him the whole. direct, honest
truth and make the best arrangements
you can. 1t Will make him respect you
and make you respect yourself and feel
better. The poorer you are the more
important your character is to you. 1t
is your only capital. Aside from ev-
erything else and ignoring all higher
and less practical considerations, re-
member that this is not likely to be
your last year on earth, and that 1t is
likely that you will be in trouble some
day when a good reputation will Sc
cure friends for you, while bad one
will deprive you of them when they
are needed and reputation follows a
man round the world, and clings to
him wherever he goes.
Pay up, no matter if it takes your

His father, who had not looked for
so much emotion, eyed his son in sur.
prise. which rapidly changed to alarm
as the young man faltered and fell
back against the wall.

old gentleman declared. "She leaves Oh
the 1O:45 train. Her conduct this morn
ing at the house of Mrs. Webb-who
perhaps, you do not know was most
cruelty and foully murdered last night
was such as to cause comment and
make her an undesirable adjunct 10
any gentleman's family"
Frederick paled. Something in these
words had caused him a great shock.
Mr.. Sutherland was fond enough to be.
lieve that it was the news Of this eX-
traordinary woman's death. But his
sons words. as soon as he could find
any. showed that his mind was running
on Amabel. whom he perhaps had
found it difficult to connect even in the
remoteSt way with crime.
"She at this place Of death? How
could that be? Who would take a
young girl there?'
The father, experiencing perhaps
more compassion for this soon to be
disillusionizcd lover than he thought it
incumbent upon him to show, answer
ed shortly, but without any compro-
mise Of the unhappy truth:
"She went. She was not taken. No
one. not even myself, could keep her
back after she had heard that murder
had been committed in the town. She
even intruded into the house and when
ordered out Of the room Of death took
up her stand in the yard in front
where she remained until she had the
opportunity Of pointing out to us a
stain of blood on the grass which might
otherwise have escaped our attention"
"Impossiblew Frederick's eye was
staring. He looked like man struck
dumb by surprise or fear. "Amabel

last red. 1t will be better for you in
the end. If you can pay and won't
you are dishonest. That Is the fiat
truth of it and you know it. You can't
squirm around it. No matter how hard
it may be. you have no right to make
it harder for some other man by hold
ing back from him what belongs to
him. You have used his stuff, his la
Dor or his money or whatever it was.
He trusted to your honesty, and If you
willfully disappoint him you are dis
honest. The fact that others may have
wronged you gives you no excuse for
wronging somebody else.
Anyhow, face your creditor like
man. Above all, don't leave him In the
lurch and then go and spend what cash
you have with somebody else. If you
owe man and can't pay him, the least
you can do Is to help him all you can by
throwing all the money you can con-
troll in his way.-Anderson Intelligent

POOR BRER RABBIT.
There Is a Price on His Head, and He Must
Lie Low.

Lie LOW.
An Observer man was informed yes
terday thatan unusually fine crop ofrab-
bits has been raised in North Carolina
this year and that they are command
ing a good price in the Northern mar
kets: A few years ago a rabbit was
saleable only for his hide and left
hind foot, but now it Is salted down
and shipped away after the manner OF
pork.
In this section of country the man
who is making most reputation, and
incidentally, profit, as an exporter of
rabbits, is Mr.. F. w. Bost, Of China
Grove, N. G. He stated to The Observ-
er's informant that last year in Nov
ember, December, January and Febru-
ary, he made an average purchase or
over 300 rabbits day at ten cents a
piece. He requires that the rabbit be
skinned and that it wear its head to
market-there being cats about. In one
day last year Mr.. Bost bought 1900
rabbits, and for these and the others
purchased he found immediate and
profitable sale in Richmond, Va, and
the Northern markets.
This year Mr.. Bost is increasing his
export of rabbits; and his trade has In
duced a large number of boys to make
a business of rabbit killing. In this
county, or in Cabarrus or Rowan or
other counties in this state, nearly all
siZeable boys can take a SO shot gun,
two or three hounds and a minimum of
powder and shot and slay seven or
eight or ten rabbits in day, and If he
can sell these at 10 cents a head he
makes cotton mill wages in addition to
his fun.
The value Of the rabbit as an export
is emphasized because it is almost
new business in this country. The
great demand for the small animal
causes one to wonder if the delicate
taste Of the epicures are turning to
hares. One answer to this proposition
is that the rabbit is sent out from the
big Northern establishments in va
riety of potted goods. Only Brer Rab-
bit, he changes his name.-Charlotte
Observer, November 49,
