happened to my brother Jim down on

it happened:
You see, Jim was about the kind
est-hearted chap that ever lived.
One day he was going out on the
farm when he saw a six-foot rattle
snake pinned down on the ground by
big boulder that had fallen on its
tail. Now, Of course, ninety-nins
men out of hundred would have got
club or handful Of rocks and kill
ed the poor creature right there,
But that wasn't Jim. No, sir! Jim
gets out his handkerchief and wipes
his eyes and then rolls that boulder
off'n that snake just as gently as he
knew how.
"Well, sir, that settled it. Talk OF
gratitude? You ought to have seen

when Jim went to bed the snake

Did you never get the Jingle,
Like strong magnetic breeze,
Which is the peculiar symptom Of frank

Purest Anglo Saxon Blood.
News and Observer

Not a great many years ago when
the eminent Prof. Shaler was travel
ing through North Carolina, he
CHANGED to sit behind beautiful
Young lady who was talking with a
friend on the train. Afterwards he
told North Carolina student at Har-
ward that she used the purest, un-
mixed English he had ever heard any
where.
Writing to = friend in Winston
Salem, DR.. Truman j. Backus, OF
Packer Institute, Brooklyn, who spoke
at the Educational Conference in that
place, referred to the "purest blooded
Anglo-Saxon' as living in North

ton:
Look for surprising changes in
the State of North Carolina within
the next fifteen years. The American
spirit is there. The purest blooded

An Immortal Episode.
washington Post.)

Within the past two or three weeks
the Post took up a controversy, then
raging, over the authorship of that
clarion call, He who dallies is 4 das-
tard; he who doubts is damned" and
awarded the whole credit to the Hon.
j. G. s. Blackburn, recently reelected
to his old seat in the United States
Senate. We spoke with knowledge
and authority, the heat of the discus
sion and the Importance of the mat
ter at issue making it incumbent
upon us to intervene. OF course.
therefore, it does not surprise, though
it distinctly gratities us to find Sena-
tor Blackburn thus quoted in the
Washington correspondence of the
Brooklyn Eagle:
Il believe | originated that saving
At least, so far q. | know, | never
saw it in print until | used it during
the controversy at the beginning Of
Hayes administration on the ques-
ton OF whether Congress should pass
a measure appropriating money for
sending troops to the polls. My asso-
ciates, Alexander Stephens. Of Georgia,

failed TO aid me in the stand had
taken against this movement, and it
so angered me that applied the re-
mark to them"
The Senator is so prolific of bril-
liant and epigrammatic utterances
that he can hardly be expected to
recall them in chronological sequence
We may therefore suggest without Of
Tense that he is mistaken in placing
this particular utterance lat the be-
ginning of HAYES administration" and
assigning it to an episode of inferior
Importance. When MIR. Black burn
uttered these immortal words the
question of Mr.. Hayes administration
was in allegiance. The whole country
was atlame with excitement over the
Hayes-Tilden contest and Congress
was the focus OF the epidemic. Mr..
Blackburn spoke for the .talwarts
for those who believed they were
right and stood prepared to push
their claims at any cost. If the Dem
ocratic leaders had united on Mr..
Blackburn's proposition, Mr.. Samuel
Samuel j. Tilden, and not Mr.. Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, might have been Pres
ident of the United States from March
4th, 1877, to March 4. 1881.

What Staying Tleans.

There are no paved streets, no
royal road, leading to success. Hills,
valleys, rocks and ruts are on every
side, and then there are the long
level stretches which try mans
soul more than the rocks and the
hills
Many daring and successful
mountain climber peters out" in
crossing the plain. 1t is too slow for
him, too mOnotOnOus, too tiresOme.
All he sees is the seemingly inter
minable dead level, the dry sand, the
glow OF the sun, and so, growing
weary, he drops by the wayside. and
the more persistent ones push on to
tho green fields and cooling waters
which lie just beyond the desert.
Have you ever stopped long enough
in your consideration OF this sub ject
to realize that every year some men
rear colossal fortunes out of this
lack OF stability on the part Of other
men? All the great life insurance
companies, with their palatial marble
buildings, are monuments to a lack
of staying quality in humans.
Insurance companies derive one OF
their greatest sources of revenue
from "lapses. 81 sure is this in
come that many Investment com
panies are today doing an enormous
business and are able to pay immense
profits to those who stay through tC
the end just because their number is
50 small when the goal is reached
and the number who fell by the way
side is so great The slayer is the
winner every time.
Staying qualities are needed with
reference to advertising the same a.
with anything else. Unless mar
has faith enough i'll what he has tC
sell and in the medium he uses fol
the purpose Of securing buyers. to
stay with the proposition until sue
cess comes, he would better never
