Her Dolls Had the Measls.

An amusing story is told of Queen Will
heImina when she was quite little child.
Her majesty was not allowed to share
dinner with the elder members of the
royal household, but was permitted to
make her appearance at dessert and place
herself beside some particular favorite.
One day she sat by c courtly old gener-
al, and after eating some fruit the little
girl turned and gazed up at him. Pres
entity she exclaimed, Il wonder you're
not afraid to sit next to me-"
On the contrary, | am but too pleased
and honored to sit next to my future

NEARER HOME,

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and Ger;
I'm nearer home today
Than | ever have been before.
Nearer my Fathers house.
Where the many mansions be.
Nearer the great white throne.
Nearer the crystal sea;
Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown!
But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the silent, unknown stream
That leads at last to the light.
Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm;
Closer Death 10 my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
Oh. if my mortal feet
Have almost gained the brink,
II il be | am nearer home
Even today than think,
Father perfect my trust,
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
on the Rock OF a Living Faith!

A Former North Carolinian Honored

Arthur T. Abernethy. the son of the
late DR.. Robert l.. Abernethy, of Ruth
erford College, and native North Caro-
lima boy has been selected to assist Pro-
fessor Arcadius Avellanus, the celebrated
Latin scholar, and editor of the Latin
Herald of Philadelphia, in the prepare
tion of the general revision of all the
school texts of Latin authors, and the
reproduction of them with easy Latin ex-
plantations and a parallel Latin text of
every author-perhaps the most gigantic
classical undertaking since the time
when the King of France spent four mil
lion dollars in the preparation Of SINH
lar series, for his son, the Dauphin-
known to the modern classicists. as the
Delphini editions of the classics.
Professor Avellanus, who is one of the
most celebrated Latinists in the world,
is d native of Strigonium. and was rear
ed in a colony of Roman descendants,
who, to the present day use the Latin
language in all their conversational in
tercourse. His selection of Mr.. Aber-
nethy, who has been for sometime asso-
ciated with him in the publication of the
Latin Herald, is a rare compliment to
this young Southerner and to his earlier
training in the schools of North Caro-
lima.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Theodore Roosevelt, President of the
United States, was born in New York
on October q, 1858. The Roosevelt
family is one Of the Oldest in the
United States, the forbears OF the Pres
ident being prominent in the early
history of New York under the Dutch
rulers OF that province. President
Roosevelt had many advantages,
among them being the opportunity to
acquire an education and in 1880 he
was graduated from Harvard univer-
sity. Politics early engaged his atten-
ton. In 1882 he was elected to the
Legislature of New York. serving one
term in the House. In 1886 he was a
candidate for Mayor OF New York
City, but was defeated. The campaign
he made for that Office attracted the
attention of the Republican leaders,
and in 1889 he was appointed as a
member of the national Civil Service
Commission. He served in this capac-
ity until 1895, when he was made
President OF the New York Police
Board. He served in that capacity
until 1897, when he was appointed to
the position OF Assistant Secretary ol
the Navy. When the Spanish-Ameri'
can war broke out he resigned his po-
sition as Assistant Secretary OF the

Mockins Bird Disappearing.
New York Sun.

The mocking bird is practically ex.
tinct save in captivity, and there are
but few captive; for the bird does not
take readily toa cage, and unless
caught when very young it is reported
to commit suicide rather than endure
Imprisonment or to be supplied with
poison by the free birds that pity its
fate. 1t was discovered not long ago
that many OF the negroes on the plan
tations. knowing very little about or
anthology, shoot any bird they come
across and are indulging in potpie
made of the American nightingale.
This slaughter has been largely
stopped by the license taxes placed on
the sale of shotguns and ammunition.
This action was not taken, however,
until there were very few mocking
birds left in Louisiana. The same is
true of the game law which was only
passed at the last session of the Legis-
lature, when the ducks had been
killed or largely driven from Louisi-
ana, and the action OF the Ornithology
union in regard to sea birds also came
little late.

TO PROMOTE WoMAN's RIGHTS.
Unique Scheme Proposed by Talented Lady
OF france.

Nine. Marguerite Durand, editor OF
La FrOnde, the woman's paper OF
Paris, France, which is printed by wo-
men for women. has novel scheme
to promote the education OF the peo.
pie in women's rights. She proposes
to take theatrical troupe on the
road, and at any entertainment the
FIRST piece is to be some well.estab.
lished composition and the second is
to be something new, but full OF merit.
For the second piece she will have
some celebrated actress whom the
people will patiently wait to see. Be-
tween the first and second parts of
the performance she will deliver a lee
ture upon woman's rights, not 10 ex-
ceed 30 minutes, and, - she says,
the people will be forced to take the
bitter pill in between two bites of de-
licious cake.
This looks we'll, in theory, but
would it not result in an increased
number Of the audience going out be-
tween acts " to see a man.?
