WASHINGTON LETTER.


ident Roosevelt will retain bis
present Cabinet intact has some
what surprised the country, but
his present action is thought BY
many the wisest thing he could
have done. One thing is GER
tain, however. there was no real
basis for the rumor a few days
ago, about sweeping changes IN
the Cabinet. Roosevelt himself
was not talking, nor was any
body very near him doing so.
Senators Plat ard Hanna were
not likely to spread reports Of
Cabinet changes, for they did
not want anything of that kind
to happen, and showed an eager
ness almost pathetic in letting
the public know that it was nor
going to happen. There was,
however, some reasons to sup
pose that there would be reslg-
nations and new appointments
of one sort or another, for vari~
Gus reasons Of party policies.
President Roosevelt is a little
like Cleveland in some ways.
He will not be dictated to; he
y1Il not be driven. 1t was
therefore believed that he would
surround himself with men WHO
were in sympathy with him and
on whom he could relv to carry
out his ideas. But it appears
that his ideas are in main thos1
Of President Mckinley, and that
he thinks the rresent Cabinet
can carrv them out If it can
not, then il will be time enou2 h

In response to "Macedonia1
Call" from Pastor S. +. Bristowe
we spent few days in Gates
county, the occasion being a
protracted meeting at Sandy
Gross Baptist church.
On arrival we found Revs. N.
P. Stallings, of WinfalI, and S.
p. Barnes, Of Branning, present,
both of whom had responded to
Bro. 'Bristowe's efforts to secure
help.
Bro. Stallings preached an ex~
cellent sermon Wednesday
morning and then left to assist a
brother at anot2er point. Bro.
Barnes and the writer CO labor,
ed the remainder of the week
About thirty were received into
the church as a result of the
meeting.
We were greatly pleased with
the people. They are hospital
BILE and as kindly appreciative
as any people we ever met
Sandy Cross is located near Cross
Roads. There is enough sand
to make the name very appro-
pirate. En- route to Sandy
Cross we passed through Be1vi
dere, a Friends village. We
doubt if more genteel looking
village can be found than this
little Quaker town. The resi-
dences were spic and span with
paint, and the folks were as nice
and clean. looking as if they hao
just emerged from the band box.
We spent one night at Mica
nor where we were most pleasant
ly entertained by Mr. Riddick
and family. We are glad to re,
port good crops and happy peo>
pie i'll this wonderfully favored
section of country.

The Philosophy of Fate

Results are the final determi-
nations Of movements for which
the actor himself is responsible.
Man is not creature Of chance
and success is not the resultant
of so-called Luck.
The laws of success and fall
ure are as immutable as the law
of gravity, and as a matter OF
fact are never overco lie or set
aside.
"Whatsoever a man soWeth,
that shall he also reap" IS a fun
damental truth, placing the re-
sponsibility Of ones career upon
his own shoulders.
Temporary defeat is by no
means to be counted as final fail
ure for oftimes to fail today
means greater success tomorrow.
Lack of purpose, the accom-
plishment of some end, seems to
be at the bottom of more fail
ores than lack of ability or OPP
portunity.
Standing in a crowd in con,
versation with a young man Of
this City, who made the remark:
"There is lack OF am bitiOn on
the part Of young men, they are
too easily satisfied and do not
try to get beyond a salary OF
thirty or forty dollars a month. D
We were led into the train oil
Thought: Does not the man
who is willing to pay the price
of success succeed? We believe
he does. What is success?
If you ask a man on the road
"where are you going?' and he
should answer, "anyWhere," you
would readily understand that
the man had really no end il
view, that one point Of the com
pass was as near his wish as
another. So the man who stalt Is
III life without any particular
purpose cannot succeed be
cause without some end III view
success is really impossible.
But if there is determinatf
purpose, and the individual is
willing to pay the price Of sue,
cess in labor and self denial, he
will succeed. If he lacks abiii.
lty, or skill, or Judgment, each
and all of which are necessary
constituents of success, the def
cheney must be supplied before
he can reasonably hope to 1T
tain the end.
None Of these are beyond the
reach of any one who will strive
for the mastery. The greatest
minds have been discovered it
the slow, Flooding, hardworking
student, who has gathered slow
ly but surely, and finally awakes
giant of strength.
Skill is the result Of effort anC
Judgment, the bination Of
the two, SO that the PHILOSOPHY
Of Fate" may be written in sim,
pie language. FIND SOME
THING TO DO AND DC

OoTENTIN COW.

mandy is and always has been. except in language, eminently English. Its az riculture is English. and English blood freely flows through the veins of Its people The Norman and English phy- sique Is characteristically alike.
 In color this breed of cattle is dark red and black, brindled on white ground. Many have white faces more or less mottled with brindle patches about the head. As in the older races of the Jerseys, there is found the cream fawn with brindled patches on the shoulders and sides. At maturity the bulls range from 1900 to 2,200 pounds. Fat oxen even weigh as high as 4,200 pounds. Cows at the same periods of maturity range from 1,400 to 1,S00 pounds. They are mild, gentle and quiet as race. They have iron consti- tutions and are relatively free from tu- berculosis and other diseases.
 The COW shown in the cut is Dina, and she took gold medals at Paris and De Vereaux, France. She is 10 years old and has a record when flush in milk of 72 pounds fin day.

Her Quick Temper.

No one trait of Queen Victoria's char acter has been more frequently dwelt upon than her motherliness, the rare good sense displayed in training her children.
 It Is told of the princess royal of Eng land that she had nasty temper when she was little girl. Quick, hot words came readily to her lips.
 Queen Victoria did not punish her lit tie daughter for these outbursts of temper, but one day gave her little garden for her very own and advised that when anger got the better of her judgment she go to work for few Aoments.
 The plan acted like a charm, and a short time among the smiling faces of her flower friends brought the little princess, ashamed and repentant, to beg for forgiveness. The habit thus formed was never broken, and flowers always held high place In the regard ,f the empress, whose sad death was ately chronicled.

Flag aunt For Little Invmiia.

A philanthropic woman who is much interested in the children's ward of a hospital is piecing a coverlet for the
 bed of one patient little incurable that will delight his cruelty tried soul and would be acceptable to many another small invalid, says the New York Even Ing Post. The quilt Is made of flags. It Is just the size of the bed and not in- tended to be tucked fin. The flags are the little silk ones of all nations that are cheaply bought in quantities. Each has been lined with a firm muclin, as the silk is of too poor a quality to be durable. The flags are put together with a simple featherstitch, the quilt
 being made up with wool batting, which Is both light and warm, and a thin silk is used to line the underside.
 The. idea was suggested to the hospital

The R~ason.

As soon as there comes a suggestion of frostiness in the air there is an er- cuse for the smartly gowned woman to swathe her throat in some one of the many pretty and becoming boas she is SO fond of wearing. For some occult and feminine reason she does not cons sider her costume complete without this finishing conceit-a conceit which goes through slight changes with the coming of each season, but which, in the end, is a mass of soft and fufry chiffon of lace of a color that sets of to the best advantage a woman's flea. lures.
 It is not so much on account of the warmth possessed by these airy acces. sories that they are so well liked, nor from the comfort of having something high at the back of the neck, though 1t Is a fact that after once wearing q ruche or a boa a woman doesn't feel quite chic if she appears on the street without one.
 The real reason they are so popular if you could get a woman to explain her very evident fondness for boas and other neck creatlons-is because they add to the attractiveness of any face be 1t young or old.

 O nearer, stop bothering about your exit from sublunary scenes! By the grace of God get your heart right and then go ahead.

 One Easter morning Massena, the marshal of France, appeared with 18,- 900 armed men on the heights above the town of Feidkirch. There were no
 
 arms to defend the town, and the in- habitants were wild with terror: Then the old dean of tae church cried out: My brothern, this is Easter day! We have been depending on our own strength, and that fails. Let us turn to God. Ring the bells and have serv- ice as ususl" Then the bells rang out sweetly and nightly from the church towers oil ireldkirch, and the people thronged te the houses of prayer for worship. The sound of the bells made the enemy think that the Austrian army had come in to save the place, and Massenl and his 1S,000 soldiers re- treated. By the time the bells had stopped ringing there was not one sol dier in sight. So put your trust In God, and when hosts of troubles and temptations march for your overthrow ring all the bells of hope and faith and Christian triumph, and the threatening perils of your life will fall back, and your deliverance will be celebrated all up and down the skies. The God who led you through the way you never passed before will be with you at all the crossings.

Wo do take little care, yet in spite of warm clothes, rubbers and mackintoshes, an army of people were bowlcd out by pneumonia and other lung and chest diaoasos last winter. They caught cold, neglected it, let it fr upon them, were torn by coughs, choked by iniammations and compositions, wasted by fever, tired out by pain and then gave up the fight.

The ''cat" in the game called by that name is round stick about six inches long, one inch in diameter and whittled off to blunt point at each end. One boy lays the ''cat' on the sidewalk and hits it on one end with long stick, and then another boy tries to hit the 'cat" while 1t is In the air. If the game Is played around the house, the usual course is something like this: Willy hits the "cat," then Tommy hits 1t, then the "cat" hits father, who Is coming down the walk, and the game is sud denly brought to close.

 Queen Alexandra's published desire that all ladies present at the corona ton next year shall wear gowns of British material and workmanship is causing society women to do a lot of talking and planning. While England can furnish good woolen and plain ma terials, her manufacturers never have been noted for producing fine mate rials any more than her dressmakers have been noted for style or design. Every foreigner recognizes sadly that the average English woman Is the poor est and most dowdyishly dressed of any of her sex In Europe or America. French manufacturers and Paris dress makers have managed to put fine clothes on and impart style to some of the upper classes, and these are the very women who are hit hardest by the queens command. They are the only ones who will be able to attend the coronation, where dress will be the greatest feature, and they must now trust their appearance to clumsy Brit ish hands
