for her call. "Oh. ] don't intend to
get along without him." she would re-
ply indifferently. There will always
be Allen" And that evening she re-
fused him again as he begged her to
be his wife. Don't be foolish" she
said, serenely; ~ don't want to be
married. and I am not at all sure that
I would marry you anyway And he
went away with the same look he al
ways bore on his face when he gazed
at her.
Oddly enough after that night It
began to be noticed that he was less
seen at her side as her patient. hope
ful attendant. He left off watching
her with that look of dumb pleading
in his eyes, and he seemed to laugh
more and was merrier even than In
the other days. although he had al
ways been the life of the circle of
friends. Sometimes the girl used to
be detected looking at him with Il
strange. puzzled expression, although
she did not seem to resent his now
attitude. She was too much absorbed
in adjusting herself to the changed
relations to be resentful, and besides
she was not a narrow. frivolous or
vintlictive person.
The morning came. after warnings
in the shape of rumors which she did
not heed when she found his wedding
cards at her plate. He was to marry
girl in another town, one whom
she had never seen. She went to her
room after time and sat down before

"You have made a mess of life, not
only of your own but others. You
knew all the time that some day you
expected to marry him. yet you wore

his best self You might as well ad.
NIT that you don't know how to live
without him. You've missed him so
these past weeks that there is only
a big ache where your heart used to
be- You know he's the only man In
the world you could marry. You know
what high principles he has, what am
btion, what purity of thought ana

gentleness is a fury of temper but
that for you and toward you that tenn
per would never be anything but love
and devotion and consideration. You
know this. too, that he is not marry
ing another girl through pique, but
lust because he was hopeless and
desolate without you and wanted to
raadjust his life to make the best Of
it possible. He is a brave, good man.
You are pitiful coward, do you hear?
and never in all your days will you be
anything but a lonely, cold woman.

This Is Il Story With Two Morals.
She was such a nice girl--so attractive
and popular and capable. Everything
she did was done just right. She was
conscientious, generous and amabe,
and one man, at least, among her
friends thought she was perfection,
and even more, il possible. She cared
about him, too--that Is she must have
been fond of him, for he was every
thing Il girl could desire in a lover, and
most of her acquaintances would have
given great deal to have him so ut
terly devoted to themselves. But how
my lady snubbed him! She was Just
like the girls in the novels, only she
wasn't in novel, but was a real, gen
unine, living, and breathing girl. And
she led that particular young man
weary chase. She wasn't a coquette.
She didn't mean to torture him, but II
just seemed that she didn't know her
own mind, and for months and ever
years,-for II had been going on since
she wore her hair in pigtails-she kept
him subject to her moods. He was en-
tirely too meek and never did more
than look grieved when she snubbeG
him and was just as easy to fly back tc
her at the slightest smite Of encour-
agement. He simply couldn't stay
away.
Her friends used to demonstrate with
her and declare that one day she would
regret it, They asked her how in the

THE DIVORCE EVIL.

For a long time the people of this
good State have been accustomed to
have a contempt for Oklahoma and
South Dakota because their laws and
courts made it SO easy to get di-
vorce that they became the resort of
all who wished to be rid of the mar
riage VOW. The western States and
territories have reformed, and divorces
cannot now be easily obtained there.
If the divorce mill gains as rapidly
in North Carolina in the next five
years as in the past five years, North
Carolina will gain d reputation as I'M
savory as Oklahoma formerly enjoyed.
In his sermon at Christ church Sum
day, Rev. DR.. NJ. NJ. Marshall, in an
able sermon ON the sins of this age,
dwelt with emphasis upon the divorce
evil, rejoicing in the incorporating
attitude of the Episcopal Church to-
ward divorces.
In nearly every Legislature for ten

down the bars, our courts are alto
gether too lax in the trial of divorce
cases, and public sentiment has not
made itself felt strongly against this
tendency toward the easy undoing of
the marriage vow. For better or for
worse, for richer or for poorer,,-this is
the VOW and except for the Bible
cause, no divorce ought to be granted
We thank DIR. Marshall for sounding
"a note Of warning that is needed now
in North Carolina.

If by railroad attorney" the Her
aid means those attorneys whose
chief business is their railroad en-
ploynlent or those who are subser-
sional employment, we say 'amen"
and ''amen" to the Herald's editorial.
1T has been our observation, however,
that all attorneys who appear in the
courts for railroads do not sell them
selves to the railroads, and that some
of them truly represent the people
when in public position. Others act
in the Legislature as if they had been
sent to the Legislature to represent
the railroad for which they appear
in the courts, and forget that they
were elected to represent all the peo-
pie. 1t is not just to include all at
torneys who appear for railroads in
the court house in any sweeping ex-
clusion. 1t is just, however, to include
all who lobby and otherwise show un
professional unworthiness in their
zeal for their railroad client.
In the coming Legislature there will
be issues which will show who of the
railroad attorneys Go not represent the
railroads IN the Legislature, as well as
in the courts, and who among them
wear the railroad collar in the Legis-
lature. The issues will be clear-cut
and will divide the sheep from the
goats.

CLAIMS OF GERMAN SUBJECTS.
Interests Damaged in Spanish American War.
Uncle Sam Wont Pay Claims.
(By The Associated Press.D


Washington, Dec. 24.-The German En-
bassy has laid before the State Depart
ment the claims of a number of German
subjects for damages to their interests in
Cuba, as a result of the Spanish -Ameri-
can War. and the insurrection which led
up to the war itself. This raised a most
important Issue, and the Department has
concluded that the United States Govern
ment cannot accept responsibility for the
claims TheJ are regarded as practically
the same in principle as the claim of
Porto Rico against Cuba for 81, 000. 600 on
account of war loan. Although in that
case Governor Allen of Porto Rico repre-
scented the United States in preferring the
claim, that Government was Obliged to
deny it's liability or the liability of Cuba
under present conditions. The answer to
the German presentation will be based
upon the reply to Governor Allen recent
Iy made. 1t is known that other Govern
ments beside Germany have claims ag-
gregating a very large sum all based on
The Cuban Instruction and succeeding
events. They will not be abandoned on
account of the attitude of the United
States Government, but probably will be
held in allegiance until such time as the
Island shall have become independent
when they will be presented directly to
The Government of the island.

the unselfish love of man for his fell
lows, all the carrying of the Gospel
into the uttermost parts of the earth
had their inspiration and obtained
their light from the star that shone
above the manager. The true Christ
mas spirit, summed up in 1T is more
blessed to give than to receive had
its birth then, and today as in Bethle-
hem, every thought and hope
centres in the child. Then the
wise men of the East, when
they saw the young child with Mary,
his mother, fell down, and worshipped
him: and when they had opened their
treasures, they presented unto him
gifts; gold and frankincense and
myrrh.' Today, as we are absorbed
in elevating childhood and making it
full of joy, the Christian heart is lifted
up to ''the young child whose birth
consecrated motherhood and enthron-
ed the child as 1.-The greatest among
you"
The Christmas Scribner has as it's
frontispiece a strikingly beautiful
picture of "the young child with
Mary, his mother" followed by this
exquisite poem by Bertha Gerneaux
Woods that is in keeping with the Gel
ebration of the birth of Christ:
When Mary sang to him, l wonder if
His baby hand stole softly to her lips,
And smiling down, she needs must stop
her song
To kiss and kiss again bis finger tips.
Il wonder if, his eyelids being shut,
And Mary bending mutely over him,
She felt ner eyes. as mothers do today,
For very depth of love grow wet and
dim.
"Then did 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 smothered kisses on his
feet

TO PROMOTE GEN. LEE.

Senator Daniels bill designed to
pave the way for the appointment of
Gen. Ftzhugh Lee to brigadier
generalship in the regular army should
meet with little opposition" says the
Norfolk Landmark Gen. Lee has
never been adequately rewarded for
his valuable services when he was
consul general at Havana. For many
months previous 10 the outbreak of
the war he had to hold down the most
dangerous and disagreeable job in the
official roster of this government. His
tact was wonderful, and at the begin
mng of serious trouble his name. was
ON every American tongue" =
Gen. Lee was denied chance to
make reputation in the Cuban war
Before war was declared, he was the
conspicuous figure before the Ameri-
can people. When war begun, he was
put on guard duty while Shafter and
Roosevelt were given the posts of
honor. 1t is to be hoped that at this
late day Gen. Lee will receive some
compensation for the political plans
that made necessary his being kept in
the background.

THE INAUGURATION.

Chapter one of the Laws of 1897
will require the Inauguration of the
Governor on the 18th day of January
1901, unless for some reason he cam
not be present. Governor-elect Ay-
cock will be ready to take the oath on
that day and the public will make
arrangements to come to Raleigh in
full force to do honor to the occasion.
1t had generally been understood
by those who had not consulted the
statute that the Inauguration would
not be held ON the same day that the
vote was counted and the result de-
clared, but would take place OH the
10th or 18th. 1t is well that the
statute contemplates the Inauguration
on the 18th, for the Legislature will
do very little until the Inauguration
and the sooner that important event
is over the sooner the Legislature
will get down to the serious work be-
fore it.
