themselves on one horn or the other of q curious dilemma. Either Bryan's presidency would bring on financial disaster or it would not; if it would, their case is lost if it would not, Bryan would be sure to go before the country on the silver issue in 1904, and all the fat would be in the fire again, which we supposed we had got rid of for good when the gold standard bill was passed.
 Those who feel like voting for Bryan on the ground that he would be harm less should cut this out, paste it in their hats. and then look into their hats enough to keep themselves from talk ing through them as they have been doing.

------------- JOHN RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE.
Speculation as to the Origin of the Affix to the Noted Virginian's Name.

| Speculation as to the Origin of the Affi2 to the Noted Virginians Name. Living within few hours ride of the | former home of the celebrated John | Randolph of Roanoke, l have often
 passed and viewed the place where tra-
 dition says his sepulchre Is, with his head to the east, the reverse of the GUS tom then and now prevailing. Among the old people of Charlotte county who knew him the question has often been
 asked why MT. Randolph. with his
 dwelling on an eminence overlooking
 the Staunton river, with It's broad
 stretch of magnificent lowlands, should
 have named his residence Roanoke"
 and affixed it after his signature.
 There is large creek, with headwa- ters near the Prince Edward county
 line, flowing from north to south
 through the county of Charlotte, called
 Roanoke. On both sides of this stream near it's mouth where 1t empties into the
 Staunton, Mir. Randolph owned large body of land. His home place. not far distant from the creek, he called "Roa- noke,'' following colonial custom of the old landed proprietors of Virginia in having distinctive names for their mansions. On the James, York and other rivers of eastern Virginia the cus- tom prevails to this day. MT. Ram doph owned no land south of the Staunton river, but he was master of the adjacent lands on both sides of Roa- noke creek for long distance.
 Old people who knew MT. Randolph have told me that the aftiX ''of Roa- noke" was taken from the name of the creek. He said it was an Indian name. and he prided himself on his Indian blood, being descended in the seventh gensIation from P0cahOntas.
 The first mention I can find of Roa- noke was in 1885, when Sir Richard Greenvil left one hundred and eight men on the island of Roanoke But in the history and biography of the Indi- ans of North America by Drake no is made of any tribe of Indi- ans named Roanoke, although four hundred and seventy-four different tribes and nations of Indians are named in the publication of pr. Drake. Roa- noke Island is in the extreme eastern part of North Carolina, near Albemarle and Pamlico sounds and attached to Dare county. About twenty-tWo miles 1 below Randolph's landed estate, in | Charlotte, the Dan and Staunton rivers l unite and form the Roanoke river in l

NO FIGS FROM TIIISTLE ES


 Charles Francis Adams has some views" that are worth attention. He does not think it would be wise for the anti-imperialists to try to defeat MT. Mckinley by voting for third ticket. He does think that the anti-imperial- ists would show wisdom by concentrat- ing on the election of members of con- something And he doesn't think 1t wise to expect figs from thistles. On this point he says: There is scrip tural adage in regard to the futility of endeavoring to gather figs from missiles, and when l see certain of my "anti- imperialst" friends gayly dancing forth, basket on arm, to that Kansas City wilderness of missiles, confident that they are going to come home, after March next, with an assortment of re- form figs at once fine, full and flavor- ous, I confess my sense of surprise at their credulity is greater than my con- tdence in the outcome of their political picnic.

SMOKING GIVES HER LONG LIFE
Ccutcnarian Has En- joyed Her Pipe
for Eighty-Eight Years.

ioE
The Tooth birthday of Mrs. Margaret
Aaron, of No. IL Frazier street, Alle-

mas day. She was born near Green's
burg, Westmoreland county. While
totally blind and partially deaf she is
still enjoying life and remarkably
good health for her great age.
For the past eighty-eight years she
has daily smoked pipe. Her pipe and
package of tobacco are kept constant
ly on table at her bedside and while
resting or taking exercise by walking
about her room they are always within
her reach. She first took up smoking
when girl of IL years TO cure asthma,
with which she was suffering at the
time, and when the trouble disap-
peared she had so acquired the habit
that she has continued to smoke daily
ever since. When II years old she be-
came the wife of George Aaron and
raised family of twelve children, six
of whom are still living, and the eldest
of these is so years old and resides now
in Kansas City.

Shakspcare's Married Lire.

On what basis does the theory rest
that Shakespeare was not happy in the
later years of his married lifep writes
DR.. William j. Rolfe in the Ladies'
Home Journal
As we have seen, his wife was about
eight years older than himself, and the
nuptials had been celebrated in somo
haste. He had gone to London few
years later, leaving his wife and babies
in Stratford. The "Sonnets," which, to
my thinking, are unquestionably auto
biographical, indicate that he had not
been able to resist the temptations OF
city life-that he had sinned. and suffer-.
ed, and repented.
Note that terrible outcry of remorse,
the 10th sonnet. 1t assures us that,
whatever his errors may have been,
Shakespeare repented of them; and his
after life shows that he brought forth
fruits meet fer repentance. He never
lost his love for his Stratford home. We
have seen that as soon as he began to be
prosperous in London he bought the di-
lapidated New Place, and as fast as his
means allowed repaired the house, en-
larged and improved the grounds, and
gradually made it the elegant and de.
lightful home which must have been his
ideal from the very first.

The Story as Told by General Lew Wal
lace.

When l began upon my Subject it
seemed dry to me. | searched for some
way to make it bright, to give it color
of pastime, and yet to keep it interest
ing. My manuscript had ended with
the birth of Christ, and determined to
60 on to the end, but obstacles seemed
to hem ME in on every side. 1t has
been said that one should never start
without being able to see the end from
the beginning, but in this instance the
intermediate state loomed up before me
like giant of despair. had my be.
ginning. Could anything be more re-
markable or beautiful than the birth of
Christi No book ever had been pub
lished with theme fuller of romance
and poetry. / saw my conclusion. A
climax which, in its tragic intensity.
could not be surpassed.
What could be more stupendous than
the crucitix? But what was | to do
with the eighteen or twenty years which
had elapsed from the time when the
child was taken to thes Passover and
when he had become a man, with u
mission? at length decided to use
that interval to show the condition of
the country at that time, and of the
need for the Christ man. There was
no lack of interesting features; life was
full and joyous, but with the exception
of few pearls by the wayside there
was no suggestion of religion.
/ was fully aware that to make my
work acceptable it must be painted in
actual colors. The Greeks, Romans
and Egyptians must be real characters,
and the only way TO accomplish this
was to make constant reference.
thoroughly examined books, catalogues
and maps, and when began writing |
had chart before me which showed the
sacred places and the country which I
was to describe. Travellers told me Of
animals and gave me local coloring. an |
constant reference saved me from mis-
takes. My greatest obstacles seemed
insurmountable. A Christian world
would not tolerate novel with Christ
as its hero. Yet realized the ncces-
sity Of writing of him, of keeping him
constantly as the leading figure, yet
with no sermonizing. 1t is noted fact
that few books which have been written
by preachers have met with success. -

An old One Revived.

This item has been going the rounds
of the Australian press: "A. Swindle"
is the name that appears over the
door of struggling lawyer in an up
country town in New South Wales. A
friend of the unfortunate gentleman
suggested the advisability of writing
out his name in full, thinking that
Arthur or Andrew Swindle, as the
case might be, would look better and
sound better than the significant "A.
Swindle." When the lawyer, with
tears in his eyes, whispered to him
that his name was Adam, the friend
understood and was silent.

The Arab warrior,s sheepsl,i,.

Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
The fact that General Wingate's sol
dlers found the khalifa lying dead on
his sheepslSin, with his emirs and his
body guard lying dead about him, has
a significance that the press dispatch
does not make particularly clear, and
that is, perhaps, not generally UNDER
stood. When the Arab warrior of the
Soudan realizes that his case is hope
less, that victory and fight are alike
impossible for him, he spreads his
sheepskin saddle cloth on the ground
and takes his stand upon it, thus
pledging himself to neither fly nor
surrender, but to remain immovable
on that spot until death overtakes
him. 1t was thus that the khalfa. his
emirs and his guards died, having rec
ognized that they were hopelessly en-
trapped.
