ance From High Point
Especial to News and Observer

Especial to News and Observer
High Point, n. c., Oct. IA little over
year ago the express office here re-
ceived valuable diamond for transpor-
tation TO Louisville, Ky. In due time the
owner notified the sender at this place
that the diamond had not reached him
This resulted in a forfeiture of $3.50 by
Clyde Curlee, the young man who was in
charge of the express office at the time.
Nothing more was heard of the diamond
until few weeks ago, when information
was given that a negro who was en-
ployed at the depot at the time of the
theft was offering diamond for pawn in
Pittsburg, Pa.
This led Mr.. Curlee to look into the
matter and last week he received the
missing diamond by express from the
chief of police at Pittsburg Pa.

sOMETHINaE0F INTEREST.
Old Institution Under New Management. Big
Success Predicted.

For over thirty years the Ludden &
Bates Southern Music House has sought
and obtained the patronage of our best
people in everything pertaining to music,
and it is therefore not only matter of
general interest, but also of universal
satisfaction that the recent change in
it's board of managers is of such favorable
nature as to prove conducive to the up
building of a larger volume of business,
and to enable it to offer the music-loving
public greater advantages than ever here
tofore obtained.
An effort has apparently been made by
interested parties to create the impress
sion in the music trade that William
Ludden won the suit brought against the
Southern Music House"-the fact is that
said suit has not been decided yet. 1t is
true. however that at an interlocutory
hearing Mr.. William Ludden was author
lied to make the collections on the con-
tracts assigned months ago to him to Sc
cure a claim he had against said music
house These contracts however consti-
tute but small portion of the assets OF
the L. & b. S. NJ. H.
The new board of management of the
Ludden & Bates S. M. H., consists OF
Messrs. Henry S. Parmelee, president; H
F. Parmelee, vice president; c. c. Buck
ingham, secretary and treasury-progres-
sive business men, whose successful man
agement of the Mathushek Piano Manu-
factuirg Company has made it one of the
largest and most important piano manu-
featuring concerns of the day, and whose
intent and desire is to impart the same
measure of success to the old reliable
Ludden G. Bates Southern Music House
backed up as it now is with more than
double the push, energy and capital here
tofore employed.
BY this change Savannah again becomes
general headquarters for the conduct OF
the Ludden & Bates Southern Music
House business, with Mr., John D. Muir
ply. who has been associated with this
house for over twenty years, general
manager in charge of all Southern terri
tory, branches and agencies, and who will
extend the business by opening other
branches and agencies in unoccupied
fields.
We predict for the Ludden & Bates
Southern Music House unbounded sue
cess under it's new management.
Mr. B. j. Manner, Jr., is manager of the
Ludden & Botes S. M. H., Raleigh. n. G..

Ease With Which Men Die

In recent article by DR. Andrews, OF

that physician says: Il have found that
persons of clean life, honorable. upright,
religious character, not only do not dis
play an indifference to death as those OF
grosser life do, but welcome it as re-
lief from care and toll. There is some
thing about the approach Of death that
reconciles men to it. The senses are

mean on the approach of death-thosI
who retain their faculties to any degree
become more or less philosophers. They
know that death is inevitable, and that
it is only a question of few hours, and
they accept the verdict without any
demonstration and in a philosophical way.
In all my experience l have never found
case in which dying man or woman
complained against the inevitable, at
tempted to fight it's approach or even
feared it. 1t is only in good health that
we fear death. When we have sustained
some injury of a very serious nature, the
fear of death seems to disappear"

While the primary object in preparing
this admirable compilation was to aid
teachers in their nature work in schools,
there is no doubt that all who love flow
ers and trees will enjoy it.. 1t is re-
markably full collection of the best things
that have been written on those sub
jects. 1t has been very attractively is
sued as gift book, the publishers be-
leving it will meet with special favor as
such. 1t is beautifu'i etrated. On
page 70 there is a reproduction of pho

Mrs. Waltz, taken by lamplight at their
home in Raleigh, of three night blooming

to find more than one.
The book contains seven original poems
by Mrs. Watt, whose poetical contribu-
tion to these columns have been enjoyed
by our readers. Mrs. Watts poem cons
memorating the Centennial Celebration
of the City of Raleigh, selected as the
best from many offered, gave proof Of
her talent. The poems in this book show
how that talent has been developed. We
make room for her poem on Cotton"
Queen-consort of the ki,gly maise
The fair white cotton shares his throne,
And Ger the Southland's realm she claims
A just allegiance all her own.
Her downy seed in early spring.
Entrusted to the stiff red clay,
Send swiftly up the fresh green plants,
In long rows stretching far away.
Then cotton choppers young and old,
dusky band. their rude hoes WELD,
While rhythmic songs of olden time
Float slowly up and down the field.
The summer heat comes on apace;
Ere many sweet spring days are fed,
We see among the coarse broad leaves,
The blossoms, creamy white and red
Beneath the glowing Southern sun
The green bolls swell and ripen fast
And turning then to deep rich brown,
They burst with feecy wealth at last.
Like snow, where snow is seldom seen,
Fresh-fallen-hang the clusters white,
The cotton pickers gather fast,
Rejoicing in the welcome sight.
We watch the harvest gathered in,
The busy toilers come and go,
Till freed from seeds, the fluffy mass
Flies from, the gin like flakes of snow.
Then pressed, and safely packed away,
1t goes to mills both far and near,
And busy looms and skilful hands
Send forth fabric white and sheer.
To clcthe the world miracle,
That from tiny hidden seed
Such beauty and such comfort springs
To meet and fill so large a need.

he is up to Gibson.
The story is one of forty years ago.
Mr.. Gable served in a Mississippi cavalry
in the Confederate Army and he writes
of war like a soldier. The story has to
do with the War Between the States and
apart from the interest in the story 1T is

lineation of war "as she is fought Few
novelists who write of war have smelt
gunpowder Mr.. Cable knows what war
was-war as a Confederate soldier where
want, privation and hard fighting removed
all the glamour The New York Times
praises the book warmly and says:
In Mr. Cables account we get the un-
diluted and unspiced flavor of the fosht as
it was tasted not by the happy wal rior---
"he whom every babe in arms might like
to be''-but by a Southern boy to whom
it was all in days work and not to be

THE ETERNAL CITY by Hall Game
Price $3.50. Publishers: D. Appleton
& Co., New York.
The critics have had merry time of
clashing over Hall Gaines latest book.
Some call it great and full of civic up
lift and moral purpose; others say it is
vulgar, crude, wholly bad DR.. Robertson
Nicoll says of it that 1.-The treatment
throughout, allowing for the subject, is
marked by singular delicacy and reserve"
Mr.. Clement Shorter, on the other hand,
says: ITO be popular, you must be vul-
gar, and Mr.. Gaines is determined to be
popular-and succeeds. Josh Billings
said: Il never argy agin' success"
The wonderful popularity of 1.-THE Eter-
nal City is evidenced by the fact that
900 were printed of the first edition
one hundred thousand more than the first
edition of any other novel. 1t has been
figured out that it required fifty -four
miles of cloth to bind it and that if the
books were laid on top of one another it
would make a column seven miles high
The story deals with the social prob
lem. David Rossi is Gaines Sampson,
who leads the people into conditions
where man is made free monarchy, church
domination, private ownership in land,
nlilitarism and burdensome taxes are all
done away with and federation of Euro
pean Republics come into being based
upon the Lords Prayer The book is in
Gaines glowing optimistic style, and is
intensely interesting.

THE RULING PASSION-Tales of Nature
and Human Nature-By Henry Van
Dyke. with illustrations by w. Apple
ton Clark. Price sl.50. Publishers
Charles Scribner's Sons, New York
This is collection of short stories that
will be hailed with delight by all who
have been blessed with the privilege of
reading after this versatile preacher-nov-
elist. There isn't line of "preachment
in either of the tales which illustrate
some dominant passion which has tits
place and power in human life" The en-
thusiasm, the simplicity, the helpful and
elevating spirit is breathed upon all these
stories. A critic writing of DR.. Van
Dykes many and varied works truly says:
All are charact erized by ripeness of
scholarship, depth and tenderness of feel
ing, and that indefinable atmosphere that
we call culture. His trinity of
enthusiasm are rare; his genuine and
hearty love for books, nature and human
ity.' The collection of stories--every

ing. If you tell it in brief, it is short
story.-an etching But the subject is
always the same; the unseen, mysterious,
ruling passion weaving the stuff of human
nature into patterns wherein the soul is
inaged and revealed"
There is nothing more beautiful or
lofty in literature than "a Writer'S Re-
quest of His Master with which the book
is prefaced. 1t is good enough to read and
re-read. We quote:
Lord. let me never tag a moral to a
story nor tell a story without meaning.
Make me respect my material so much

to deal very honestly with words and with
people, because they are both alive. Show
me that as in river, so in writing, clear
ness is the best quality, and little that
is pure is worth more than much that is
mixed. Teach me to see the local color
without being blind to the inner light

WOULD DO AS HE SAID.
Captain Weston Would Carry Out the
Threat to Kick
Halter.

Gen. John f. Weston, the new COM
missary general of the army, had
long and honorable revord as sol
der. While he has always preferred
the fighting branch of the service,
he has accepted willingly the new
post to which he has been called, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
When Gen. Weston was a captain
of the line he purchased military
cap, value $3.50, from a halter in
New York with whom he had an ac-
count. The bill miscarried, and the
halter sent a second bill with a note
to Gen. Weston, then at a western
army post, saying that unless it was
promptly paid the matter would be
brought to the attention of the Sec
rotary of war This made Gen. West
on angry, and he sent a spirited note
to the halter in which he said: IF
/ ever happen to be in the vicinity Of
Broadway, New York, I shall do my
self the honor of dropping in at your
shop and kicking your from one end
of it to the other" The halter wrote
an indignant letter to the secretary
of war, inclosing Gen. Weston's note
and asking the secretary for his opin-
ion of such language on the part of
the army officer. Gen. Belknap was
the secretary of war and his answer
read something like this:
"Dear Sir: have received your let
ter complaining of alleged insulting
language used toward you by Capt.
John f. Weston. U. S. A., and asking
my opinion of it. Ny opinion is that
Capt. Weston will do exactly what
he says, as he is represented to me
to be a man of his word"
