And Funston Has North Carolina
Blood In His Veins.
baskerville Citizen. }

Soon after ''Fighting Fred Funston
sprang into prominence AS a terror to
insurgents, some North Carolina pa
per set up the claim that he was a
North CarOlinian. The Citizen print
ed some facts in the case. given it bv
a gentleman who knew the fighter
was not Tarheel. 1t appears that
while Funston was not born in North
Carolina. he has North Carolina blood
in his veins, as the following will
show:
The greatgrandmother Of Funston
was Margaret Boone Mitchell, whose
maiden name was Margaret Boone
Van Meter. She was born in 1869
near Kings Mountain. n. c.. and was
niece of Daniel Boone. and cousin
of the famous travellers. Lewis and
Clark Her husband and father were
soldiers in the Revolutionary War,
and two of her sons were in the war
of 1872
She had - grandsons and eight
great-grandSOns in the Civil War,
and two great-grandsons in the Span,
ish-American War in the persons OF
Gen. Fred Funston and Col. Burt
Mitchell. The two latter were of the
four white men who took part in the
capture of Aguinaldo.
Funston, therefore, has North Caro-
lima blood in his veins. and comes by

THE VALUE OF ONE TREE.

Railroad Commissioner Rogers. who
was here Saturday. was talking about
the value of North Carolina tim her.
He said that he had only one story to
relate and that it was big one. A
man in Western North Carolina was
selling standing timber - walnut
trees. The man who was buying
came to one very handsome tree
He told the owner that he could paw
as much as $50 for that tree. This
excited the owner. He did not sell
but sent for experts. The owner got
$1,000 for the tree (curled walnut) as
it stood. The man who cut it down
realized $1,000 for it on the cars. 1t
was shipped to New York and veneer
ed lilo to l-2 inch. The sales were
watched and estimated as best that
could be done, and when all was dis
posed of it turned out that the tree
brought near 100000. The point is
this: We can become rich in North
Carolina if we work our raw material
as others work it for us.-High Point

How to Help Others.

Did you ever think how many peo-
pie you could help and bless in a
single day, if you would only set
yourself deliberately to irving? There
are a thousand and one little things,
the doing Of which would cost YOU no
serious effort, and at the same time
prove serviceable to somebody else.
The mere habit OF speaking a kind
word as you pass has great possibili-
ties in it. We have often seen a sad
face brighten at the sound OF cherry
voice.
There are some men whose very
presence is an inspiration. They
carry a wholesome atmosphere with
them wherever they 90. Contact
with them, though it be only brief
and casual, is quickening force
And there are other men whose in
tuonce is as disheartening as drizzly
day or an East wind. To look at
them is to suffer a reduction Of intel
lectual and spiritual vigor.

DR.. Buckley's Reply.

Il send you some Of the most won.
derful whskey that ever drove the
skeleton from the feast or painted
landscapes in the brain Of man. 1t is
the mingled souls Of wheat and corn.
In it you will find the sunshine and
shadow that chased each other over
billowv fields, the breath OF the lark,
the dew Of the night, the wealth Of
summer and autumn's rich content,
all golden with imprisoned light.
Drink it, and you will hear the voice
Of men and maidens singing the
Harvest Home Mingled with the
laughter OF children. Drink it, and
You will feel within your blood the
starred dawns, the dreamy, tawny
dusks OF perfect days. For forty
years this liquid JOY has been within
slaves of oak, longing to touch the
lips OF man."
DIR. J. NJ. BuCKLEY'S REPLY.
II send you some Of the most Won

skeleton into the closet, or painted
scenes OF lust and bloodshed in the
brain OF man. 1t is the ghost OF
wheat and corn, crazed by the loss Of
their natural bodies. In it you will
| find a transient sunshine, chased by a
| shadow cold as Arctic midnight, in
which the breath Of June grows icy,
and the carol Of the lark gives place
to the foreboding cry Of the raven.
Drink it, and you shall have woe, sor-
row, babbling, and wounds without
cause, your eyes shall behold strange
women, your heart shall utter per-
verse things. Drink it deep, and you
shall hear the voice OF demons shrek
ing, women wailing and worse than
orphaned children mourning the loss
Of father who yet lives. Drink it
deep, and serpents will hiss in your
ear, coil themselves about your neck
and seize you with their fangs; for
at least it biteth like serpent and
stingeth like an adder For forty
years this liquid death has been with
in slaves of oak, harmless there as
purest water. / send it to you that
you may put an enemy in your mouth

he would reform. To do this She
procured the costume of a devil
that had been worn at masquer-

spouse came home feeling happy
she quickly dOnned the costume.
AS he opened the door she stepped
toward and said in sepulchral

devil" The result rather start
led her, as the response which
greeted her was :"Zat so? Shake
