Aunt Mary opened first one bank, then the other; then she gave an exclamation of dismay. T e twins slowly looked around. Both banks lay open on the table, and there was not a cent in either of them. For a mo ment not a word was said; the chil- dren stared at each other in astonish- ment. Rachel was the first to speak.

 It did seem to the twins that an expect ed holiday was never before so slow in coming. It was very hard for them to pass the stands where the fruit was arranged so temptingly; and the candy, seen through the store windows, had never looked quite so delicious be- fore. It was hard, also, to pass the old blind man on the cor ner, and the old apple woman, and the crippled boy to whom they had been accustomed to giving some of their pen nies.

HUM0R OF THE NEWS.
Baltimore World.

The kissing bug that troubled entomo-
logists and tortured human beings few
years ago has q rival this summer in
Cleveland. Persons wearing low shoes
have been'so severely bitten on the ankle
that in some cases they havebeen crippled
Tor a week or more. The insect that
causes the trouble has not vet been iden-
titled, but is referred to as "the ankle
bug" Women who wear openwork hos
iery have beep the greatest sufferers
Philadelphia Record
The kissing bug, the lightning bug, the
bedbug aud the dea
Are each a funny kind of bug. peculiar az
can be;
But OF all the buggy bugs that bug their
way DER hill and dale,
The ankle bug-the latest pest-now makes
the ladies quail.
This ankle bug is funny ouss and will
not bite a man,
For the husky feet Or gender male he does
not care-a clam;
But when lovely woman doth appear, with
dainty drop-stitch hose,
The naughty hug makes goo-goo eyes and
says: That's mine! Here goesr'
To attack the maid he's not afraid, and
gives an awful bite;
She jumps and screams and almost goes
into Mysteries quite.
But the wicked bug will closely hug and
calmly chew away,
Until with pain he's made her lame for
many and many day.
Now girls, be wise, and dry your eyes and
do not longer cry;
Cut out the pose and the drop stitch hose,
with silk skirt lifted high;
Big rubber boots the case now suits, so
them you'd better lug,
And merry chaff and the equine laugh you
can give the ankle bug.

CORRECTION OF A SERIOUS BLUM
DER.
Wilmington Messenger. .

Wilmington Messenger.
We read with care the list OF North
Carolina troops in the Great war
from North Carolina as furnished re-
Gently by Colonel Olds. That publ
cation left distinct impression that
the total troops furnished the Con-
federate cause by North Carolina was
but $4,000. It will make that i'm
preston on any one who reads it as
it appeared in the Charlotte Observer
and as copied into the Richmond Dis
patch. Hence The Messenger at once
undertook to expose the injustice, the
stupendous blundering statement.
Now, as we learn from the Raleigh
Times, Colonel Olds says "the number
furnished by the State, according to
MAJOR Neathery, did not include the
recruiting of the regiments. in some
instances amounting to more than the
original number. Major Neathsry's
statement in no way affects the ac-
cepted amount of the official number
Of troops furnished from this State"
We were pleased to see the correc-
ton. But that first publication will
do a vast deal Of evil, and North Caro-
lima will not hear the last OF the
Neathery statement as to $4,000, or
as he gave it exactly. 1899. Why
publish at all such q bewildering,
mistaken, absurd statement? The
Raleigh Post points to another serious
error Of the Neathery publication. 1t
says:
The Post is 10 full sympathy with
The Messenger in this contention. II
we mistake not. the record rs COM
piled in Washington credits this State
with little more than l26, 900 troops.
Of all classes, furnished during the
war between the States, besides some
thing over 5000 furnished the Federal
army during the same time. The
story credited TO the late Major John
b. Neatbery shows incompleteness on
its face, as a number OF regiments and
battalions are not given At all. We
think the authority is conclusive that
The Messenger is right in its conten-
ton.

continuance OF service ~ long Is they
SO desire, and SO long as their services
are satisfactory. 1t would be unfair
and unwise for the Company to now
take up for discussion any question
which involved the displacement OF
any Of these men, who have volun-
tarily entered the service and desire
to remain, in favor of others who
voluntarily left it for reasons which
were apparently then satisfactory to
them.
Under these circumstances, I do
not see how anything material can
be accomplished by = meeting with
the committee to which you refer.
The reinstatement of the men who
have left the service is now imprac-
ticable. There are less than thirty
per cent. of vacancies, and it is doubt
full whether, at this season, the Com
pany desires to increase the shop
forces up to the point at which they
stood prior to the strike. The shops
were running very full at that time
under a general understanding pre-
viously reached with the machinists
and others, that, as nearly as possible,
| regular employ msnt would be given
the year around, instead of varying
the forces in proportion to the activ-
ity of business during the different
! months of the year.

A NORTHERN OPINION OF THE
"COURT IN THE WOODS"
Wilmington Messenger

Wilmington Messenger.
Senator Tillman's plain talk and
the applause that followed at Mil
waukee, Wisconsin, on lynching will,
of course, greatly disturb the senti-
mentalists in the North who are
always bewailing the Furnishing of
negro brutes for raping virtuous,
| unprotected white women and chill
dren, but who never have a word of
sympathy for the victims of brutality.
The Wisconsin people have no sym
pathy, we may suppose, for cruel out
RACES upon unprotected women of the
white race. The people in other
States may be less sympathetic with
outraged women and may be Mortified
that Wisconsins should applaud a
Southern man when he spoke out for
lynching scoundrels and devils. We
like the following we find in the
Washington Post, that some times has
a manly way of digging right down
to "the marrow" Of question. 1t
says:
"Human nature is the same every
where. In this country, especially, there
is an enlightened regard for woman and
| desire to shield her from all harm.
Despite the occasional episodes OF the
divorce court, the sacredness OF the mar
riage tie is national characteristic and
love for family is universal. Upon the
broad platform OF esteem for women the
people OF Wisconsin and South Carolina
| stand shoulder to shoulder. Senator
ITillman, therefore, appealed to every
chivalrous instinct when he asserted that
the summary execution OF negroes who
assault white women obviated the ap
pearance of the latter in public court to
testify to their degradation in the pres
ence of a mixed throng. This argument
could be easily understood
1t is fixed determination among
the white men in the South that bad
a nd wrong as lynching may be in the
abstract, the homes of the whites
must be safe and sacred, and the per.
sons of mother, wife, sister, daughter
must never be touched by the villain
of any hue or tribe or nation. The
necessity of lynching may override
all convictions of the improperly o'
violating law But the courts now
are not to be trusted and the delays
are unbearable. The Post condemns
and yet it candidly and forcefully
says:
| "At the same time, how is Senator Till
mans argument to be answered? Shall
the unhappy victim OF brutal assault
| give her evidence in secret? If there is tC
be any evidence at all, the forms of law
must be observed. The grand jury must
listen to the revolving details, and wher
an indictment has been found the woman
must repeat the story OF her shame
There must be examinations and cross
examinations, exceptions and appeals
and all the other trickeries and resources
of legal method. Anything less than this
would be mistrial and a farce and
would be more to be regretted than nc
| trial at all"

COUNTRY DIRT ROADS
HOW TO BUILD AND KEEP THEM IN

The process of improving Il dirt road,
says L. G.. Harrison in Rural New
Yorker, is this: First, go over the roed
with the road machine adjusting it so
rs to take off the grass, weeds. leaves,
loose stones, etc. Then cart this to
some dump. Do not leave any ON the
road surface. The stones might be
separated to I'LL Up deep holes or wash
eS. Then with the machine draw the
earth to center OF road, so rs to form
crown. If there are still loose stones
or grass sodS, leaves, sticks. etc, found
mixed with the earth, Use Il common
steel tooth harrow TO diaw :hcm in
piles, and this narrowing will also mix
the earth, sand ana clay. Having got
r!i cC loose stones and trash, put on
the roller ana roll until the surface is
hard and firm. increasing the weight
