Two WAYS of Telling 1t.

Once upon time king in his sleep
dreamed that all Of his teeth fell out
before him, one by one.
He summoned soothsayer and ask
ed him to interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 30 king, the
meaning of thy dream is that thy fam
lily and relatives shall die in thy pres
ence, one by one, till all are gone"
The king was very angry at that and
sent the soothsayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another Soothsayer
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer. 80
king, the Interpretation Of thy dream
is that thy family and relatives shall
die, one by one. and thou thyself shalt
outlive them ALL"
With this answer the king showed
approval and commanded that pres
ent be given to the interpreter, and
that he should be sent home with
honor.-"Persian Tales" in Century.

tier Advice TO Her Husband and the
Result Of Following 1t.
There was once a Woman whose
Husband Depended on the State OF
the Market for his Daily Toast. One
Day he Appeared before Her with q
Sad Countenance.
"All is Over, my Dear" said he.
Wheat is Way Down, and / doubt
If after Tomorrow we shall have More
than Ten Thousand Year to Live On.
I am Sorry that l Married you to Drag
you Down to This, but l must Tell you
Sooner or Later. I am a Ruined Man.
NAY, do not Lose Heart" said his
Wife. "Can you not Speculate Fur.
therW
Il cannot" he replied, "for I have
Lost my Nerve. My Friends Urge me
to Throw what I Have into Copper,
but 1 Dare Not. Five Thousand q
Year would Hardly buy Croquettes for
Two. l would Better Keep what
have Saved from the Smash"
AT any rate" said she, "come Out
and Have some Lunch. Let US Go to
Sherry's and get Nice Little Bird.
Then you will Feel Better"
''Birdv' exclaimed her Husband.
Unhappy Woman, If you see anything
better than Broiled Chicken and Beef
Ia Mode for the Rest Of Your Life,
you will Do Well. In my present
Frame of Mind I would Suggest q

"Let US have One Good Meal at
least" urged his Wife, ''before we Die
to the World. l have Twenty Dollars
in my Purse. l will Buy our Lunch
with that; after that the Night Lunch"
Every we'll, for the Last Time" re-
piled her Husband.
Then they went to an Expensive
Restaurant and Ate more than Salts

Husband said:
81 think Better Of that Copper than
Did"
Then he went Back to Wall Street
and Made Sixty Thousand Dollars In

The attempt to manufacture sentiment
against McLaurin still continues, but We
candidly believe it will fail. Such un-
fair methods are bound to react, and will
strengthen the Junior Senator with the
people. We believe McLaurin has acted
as he thought best for the interests of
his State, and We want a man who will
not be led BY the nose and follow the
dictates of few politicians.

| Precious Stones That Are Subject So
| Serious Changes.

Precious Stones That Are Subject to
Serious Changes.
The decoloration Of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air for long time is considered one OF
the most frequent maladies. Among
the colored stones, the emeralds, rubes
and sapphires are those which remain
intact best. Nevertheless they are not
exempt from changes, as has been
proved by many experiments recently
made in Paris. Two rubies Of the same
size and shade were kept for two years.
one in a showcase and the other away
from all light. At the end Of this term
comparison revealed that the first
had become somewhat lighter in color.
The influence of light makes itself
felt more plainly on topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler in
a short time, while the topaz assumes
a darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by it when freshly
cut. .
The most sensitive stone in this re-
spect Is the opal. This stone draws Its
marvellous rainbow reflections from
numerous little clefts which allow the
light to pass and reflect it in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulations Of cutting and polishing
we'll, and all Of a sudden it splits. 1t
suffers always by excess Of heat Ow-
ing to its chemical composition it is
sensitive to all the changes Of tempera-
ture.
Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into a piece
Of lime. Placed in contact with an acid.
they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions. 1t some
times happens that during the work. If
the hand touching them is very sweaty.
they lose their luster or break. being

hon.
Since pearls are composed Of concen-
trio layers Of mother Of pearl. it is
sometimes possible to repair them by
taking off the outer layer. but this
operation Is extremely difficult and
delicate. If the interior colors are in
;ured there is no remedy.
Diamonds are less sensitive; still it
is not prudent to take them too near
the fire.-Jewelers' Circular ar-Weekly.

Don't BE Drowned in Your Calling.

A European traveller tells ofthe follow
ing cpitaph which he read on tombstone
in England: "Here lies; he was born
a man, but died a grocer" The man dis.
appeared in his calling. We often find
that a mans vocation has swallowed him;
that it has completely overwhelmed him;
that there is nothing left of him for any
purpose outside of his occupation.
1t is a contemplate estimate of voca,
ton to regard it as the means Of getting
Il living. The man who is not greater
than his calling, who does not overtop
his vocation, so that it. runs over Oh all
sides, is not successful. A man should
be greater than the books he writes
greater than any speech he makes, than
any house he builds or any sermon he
breaches.

THE HAPPY TIME.
The man who cannot rest today,

The man who cannot rest today,
But says he will tomorrow,
Finds, when his work is cleared away,
New tasks or sits in sorrow.
The merry time, the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is never gained by them that wait
To triumph and to celebrate,
With nothing more to do.
The man who folds his hands today
And contemplates with sorrow
The pressing task that's put away
Unfinished until tomorrow
Has neither rest OF heart nor mind,
For he that looks ahead
To duties long delayed destroys
The sweetest Of sweet leisure's joys,
But borrows doubt and dread.
The man who mixes work and play
At present and tomorrow
Keeps life's poor little ills away
And finds new cares to borrow.
The merry time. the happy time,
The blissful day in view
Is every day for him whose hand
Is turned each day to fair deeds and
Who plays in reason too.

Two Sides to a Story.

TO the Editor Of the News and Cou-
rier: At mass meeting OF the citizens OF

night, March 9, the following resolutions
were adopted apropos of Il report in The
News and Courier of March signed IT.
G. W." headed killing at Narnville,"
several statements in the same being un-
true:
We, the citizens of Earnville, feel it
due the public that they should know the
true sentiment and feeling of the citizens
of this place. We deplore the killing OF
Mr. Smoak and feel that it was uncalled
for, and that Town Marshal Tomberlin
went beyond what we think was neces-
sarv to arrest Mr. Smoak, there having
been hard feelings existing between Mar
Shal Tomberlin and Mr.. SmOak for some
days.
The following is 4 true statement:
Ar. f. VI. Snoak was On route from
his residence to the Bank OF Narnvliic
when Marshal Tombcrlin attacked him:
Mr.. Smoak asked him to 60 away and
not bother him and to keep his hands oil
ui him; that he WAS attending to his
business. Mr.. Smoak stopped and told
him several times to 90 away and let
him alone.
Mr.. Tombcrlin followed and finally
dubbed him and then shot him.
We, the citizens of the town, condemn
the marsliul'S action and arc in deep
sympathy with Mr.. Smoaks family, and
feel that Mr. Smoak gave up his lte III
defence of the honor of his family. Mr.:
Smoak leaves vile, four daughters and
one son.
