His baby hand stole softly 10 her lips,
And, smiling down. she needs must stop
her song
To kiss and kiss again his fnger-tips.
| wonder if, his eyelids being shut,
And Mary bending mutely over him,
She felt her eyes, as mothers do today,
For very depth of love grow wet and
dim.
Then did a sudden presage come TO her
OF bitter looks and words and thorn
strewn street?
And did she catch her breath and hide
her face
And shower s~mcthered kisses on his

this, let us have the same tax on gross

a school fund from these sources of about

of having four hundred thousand dollars

Assembly Of 1901

follows:
The railroads in North Carolina now
net five million dollars annually over and
above 4 per cent on the real value of

When Theodore Roosevelt, two
years ago wrote that now famoust
letter to the secretary of war, in
which he declared that the
"Rough Riders" of which he was
The commander, were ''as good as
any regulars and thtees times as
good as any State troops, he
allowed.his egotism to get the bet
ter of his Judgment to a very con-
siderable extent. Right now
Roosevelt is greatly in need of the
votes of men who made up the
States troops of which he wrote
so contemptuously, and the spec
tacular hero Of El Caney and Poi
son Gulch would give much to re-
call those words. After all the
lettcr is characteristic of the man.
Whether the people of the United
States want such a man for vice
president, a position from which
he would be liable to be called at
any time to that OF chief executive,
remains to be determined at the
polls in November.f

oMENs FAVOR BRYAN.

All the omens and superstitions
which bear on the present cam
paign augue tho election of BRYAN
says the st. Louis Republic.
There are several of these which
by their constant yerification have
come to exercise a peculiar influ-
ence on the public mind.
Whenever the same candidates
for president have confronted each
other in successive presidential
elections the loser in the first ms
ltance won in the second. Thomas
jefferson was defeated IN 1896 by
John Adams; IN 1900 jefferson was
elected over Adams. In 1924 An
adrew jackson was beaten by
John Quincy Adams; in 1928
Jackson defeated Adams. In 1886
Martin Van Buren, was elected
over William Henry Harrison; in
1910 Harrison defeated Van Bur-
en-. In 1888 Cleveland was defeat,
ed by Benjamin Harrison; in 1892
Cleveland turned the tables on
Harrison.
Another superstition that bears
on the present canvass is that
New York swings from side to
side in successive presidential
elections. As the State went for
Mckinley in 1896 it should go for
Bryan in 1900. New York gave
a majority for Grant, Republican,
in 1872; for Tilden, Democrat, in
1876; for Garfield, Republican, in
1880; for Cleveland, Democrat,
in 1892; for Mckinley, Republi-
can, in 1896. 1t is Bryan's turn
in 1900.
Indiana has kept q swing syn.
chronous with New York's for the
last three-quartcrs of a century,
going Democratic or Republican
IL made no difference in the swing
|of these States that their favorite
sons were up for election. New
York went against Cleveland in
1888 and Indiana against Harrison
in 1892. This is Bryan's year to
carry indiana.

has a splendid clientele. His
business is not alone confined to
his home city, but extends to
all parts of the county. Business

consequently his business is grow

the right side.
