SHE WAS AHEAD.-Marjorie had just
returned from a visit to the old home
stead in Tennessee, where a colored
nurse nearly 100 years old, was still an
inmate. 1t puzzled her that Chloe
should be called "auntie" by her moth
er and the family, but at last she ac-
cepted the fact and did likewise. Her
playmates trooping in to welcome her
home, began to enumerate their posses
sions, acquired during her absence.

Jessie.

cried, i've got a heap more'n that;

LOCATED THE NoIsE.-A little 4-year-
old was taken on a visit to grandmam-
ma In the country. There for the first
time he had view Of cow. He would
stand and look on while the man milk
ed and ask all manner of questions. In
this way he learned that the long
crooked branches on the cows head
were horns. Now, the little fellow
knew Of only one kind Of horn, and a
few days after obtaining this informa-
tion, hearing a strange kind Of below
ing noise in the yard, he ran out to as
certain it's cause. In a few minutes he
returned with wonder and delight de-
picted on his countenance, exclaiming:
Mamma, mamma! Oh, do come out
here. The cow is blowing her horns!"

GASTON.
Gastonia Gazette, January 81: Mr..
Robert F. Rankin, contractor and
builder, filed petition in bankruptcy
last Friday. The scheduled assets
amount to $500 and liabilities to $7,25O.
The precipitating cause, we are inform
ed by Mr.. Rankin, was his investment
in the large plant of the Gastonia Brick
company. 1t cost more than was at
first contemplated, and there was not
ready sale for the products. Creditors
pressed their claims and in justice to
all Mr.. Rankin felt impelled to take
the steps indicated. He has been too
long and too favorably known in Cas-
tonia and CASTOR to lack friends now.
We trust he will soon recover from his
reverses, which have caused him incon-
venience and embarra ssment.. The
local ministers have organized them
selves into an association for better
keeping in touch with their work.
Their initial meeting was held Monday.
DR.. ]. C. Galloway was chosen presi-
dent, and Rev. J. A. Baldwin. secretary
and treasurer. Their meetings will be
held on Mondays at the different stud
les in rotation. Belmont Is to have

what to Uend.

Read the good old books that have
lived and held their own by the vital
lty Of matter and style that makes
them standards. Don't read lot Of
new books about the Bible. Read the
Bible, and then you will understand
what you may aftcrward read about
the Bible. Read Shakespeare, not con-
troverslcs on Shakespeare; read Scott
and Thackeray and Dickens and George
Eliot. DO not be content with short
history of literature that tells you their
best works and makes n few dlscon-
ncctcd extracts and tells you their
standing and what you should think
of them.
Read lntelllgcntly and with interest
and every book you read will guide
you to the next that is good for you
personally far better than n strange
mentor can do. who Is often full Of
theories and prejudlces or perhaps has
got up a course OF study as pot boil

About 200 miles In every direction Is
the distance q man can see when stand
Ing, on a clear day, on the peak OF the
highest mOuntaln-say, at n height of
26,GGS feet, or n little over five miles
above the level OF the sea. An observer
must be at a height of 6,G67 feet above
sea level to see objects at a distance Of
100 miles. The distance in miles at
which an object upon the surface of
the earth is visible is equal TO the
square root Of one and a half times the
height Of the observer in feet above the
sea level.
Some allowance has to be made for
the effect Of atmospheric refraction,
but as the refractlon varies at differ
