Officer Wilkinson has issued an order to
the green grocers and fruit dealers Of Gal.

material to keep the dies from settling on

better now than It has been for twenty
five years It can be made even better nv
such q precautionary measure lie thinks a
great deal OF sickness is produced by flies
that carry germs on their legs and bill 8

Just how the sidewalk merchants viii
take this order remains to be seen. II they

GIRLS SHOULD NOT SEND VALENTINE s

cit is a woman's privilege to be
courted, writes Margaret E. Sangster
in the February Ladies' Home Jour
nal ."Therefore the man sends the
valentine, not the girl. Thoughtless
andsilly girls sometimes overlook this
fact that they are to be sought and
never do the seeking, and an old OBJ
server sees with pain that they en-
plOy little arts to attract the other
sex; that, save the mark, they be-
have, here and there, as if every
thing they could do should be done
to gain the approving notice of the
opposite sex. This creates a false
position and is always cheapening to
a girl, not only in the eyes of others,
but also in time, when the awaken
ing comes, it is degrading to her self
respect"
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1901-02-05
Children'S Column.
TO YOUNG MEN.

Be firm! One constant element in
luck
Is genuine, solid, old Teutonic pluck.
See yon tall shaft! It felt the earth
quake's thrill,
Chung to its base and greets the sun
rise still.
Stick to your aim. The mongrel's
hold will slip,
But only crOwbars loose the BULLDOGS
grip.
Small as he looks, the jaw that never
yields
Drags down the believing monarch
of the fields.
Yet in opinions look not always
back,
The wake is nothing-mind the COM
ing track.
Leave what you've done for what
you have to do,
Don't be consistent, but be simply
true.

A MANLY SPIRIT.

An Instance of True Courage in a School Boy.
'Here is a splendid instance of d
properly brave and manly spirit, -
saws Richard Harding Davis in
Everybody's Magazine. 1t has moth
inc to do with 1.-the arms and the
man." but has for its hero "a small
boy who used to go to Cutters
School in New York City. He was
on the school football eleven, and
one day his mother appealed to me
to assist her in persuading him that
football was a demOralizing and
brutal pastime.
'IU isn't that he won't give it up
if 1 ask it" she said, "but he doesn't
want to give it up just yet, and for
such u queer reason"
l assured him 1 knew Il hundred
reasons for wanting to play football
asked him what was his particular
reason.
"When I am trying for free catch,
and am looking up in the air for the
ball" he explained eagerly, "and l
hear the other team charging down
on me and know I'll be thrown
whether l catch the ball or not, | get
terribly frightened. And L asked
mother to let me play on until L can
ret yer being scared. l hate to stop
! so long as I'm afraid OF them.
