It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden lived whom you may
know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden lived with no other
thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was
more than love,
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs OF
heaven
Coveted her and me.
And this was the reason that, long
ago,
In this kingdom by the sea-,
A wind blew out of a cloud chilling
Ny beautiful Annabel Lee:
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a supulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.
The angels, not half so happy in
heaven,
Went envying her and me;

A STRANGER HIMSELF.

Since the big trot has been in
progress at the Louisville Driving and
Fair Association track, the town has
been a little fuller than usual of peo-
pie, and, sad to relate, some, at least,
of the people have been "a little fuller
than usual" Two of the people were
staggering down Green Street late
Sunday night, and when the crossing
at Seventh Street was reached one of
them looked down toward Jefferson,
and seeing the electric light at the
Jefferson Street crossing, remarked:

The Home Circle.

Yes, that was the reason Gas all men
know,
In this kingdom by the sea-
That the wind came out OF b cloud

Chilling and killing my Annabel
Lee.
But u love it was stronger by far
than any love
OF those who we're older than we,
Of many far wiser than we;
And neither the angels in heaven
above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever Observer my soul from the
soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.
For the moon v beams without
bringing me dreams
OF the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but l feel the
bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night tide, l lie down

In her tomb by the sounding sea.

than the daily care of the refrigera-

Importance, as a carelessly kept re-

pieces of charcoal should be laid in

WHAT Is HOME

Recently a London magazine sent
out 1000 inquiries on the question,
"What is Home?" In selecting the
classes to respond to the question it
was particular to see that every one
vas represented. The poorest and the
richest we're given an equal opportuni-
ty to express their sentiment. Out of
eight hundred replies received, seven
gems were selected as follows:
Home-A world of strife shut out,
a world of love shut IN.
Home-The place where the small
are great and the great r small.
Home-The fathers kingdom, the
mothers world, and the child's para
disc.
Home-The place where we grumble
the most and are treated the best.
Home-The center of our affection,
round which our hearts best wishes

Home-The place where our stom-
achs get. three square meals daily and
our hearts a thousand.
Home-The only place on earth
where the faults and failings of hu-
manity are hidden under the sweet

A SHORT SKETCH OF NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.

The Biblical Recorder recently pub
lished a series of "North Carolina
History Stories" and offered a liberal
cash prize for the best brief essay
based ON these stories-for the best
epitome of the history of North Caro-
lima. Competition, we believe, was
limited to those under eighteen years
of age. The editor of The Progressive
Farmer, acting as one of the Judges,
was impressed with. the excellence OF
several of the papers submitted, and
especially with hat of Miss Rena
Gray Lassiter, of Wake Forest, n.
O., to whom the first prize was award
ed. This condensed outline of our
States record will, we are sure, prove
of interest to many of our readers and
we print it herewith:
North Carolina was discovered and
explored in 1924 by Verrazano, an
italian, in the employ of France. For
ty years later it was again explored
and given the name of Carolina by
Jean Ribaut, another French sailor.
The first attempt at settlement was
made by Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1884
he sent out an expedition under Am
idas and Barlowe. Barlowe wrote
an account of the journey, and de-
scribes the soil as "the most plentiful,
sweet, and wholesome of all the
world" and the people gentle, loving,
and faithful.
Queen Elizabeth, the virgin queen,
then named the country Virginia, in
honor of herself.
In 1885 Raleigh sent 107 men to
Roanoke to found a settlement. These
men were mostly sons of noblemen,
and unused to hard work. They spent
their time in searching for waterways
across the continent, and hunting for
gold, while the Indians supplied them
with provisions. At last the Indians
grew sullen and warlike. The colo
nists were in a deplorable condition
and decided to return to England
They reached there after about a
years absence, carrying with them the
first tobacco and potatoes ever seen in
Europe.
Although this colony had failed, Ra-
leigh determined to make another at
tempt. In 1887 one hundred men.
their wives and children sailed for
Roanoke. Most of the Indians were
hostile to the English on account of
former cruelties. They would allow
no hunting or fishing, so Governor
White was obliged to return to Eng,
land for supplies. Troubles at home
delayed his return three years. When
he did come back the only trace of the
colonists was the word Croatan, cut
on a tree. White made no search fol-
the unfortunate settlers and their fate
will forever remain shrouded in mys.
terry.
In 1868 Governor Yeardley of Vir
ginia secured peace with the Indians
and a small company of Virginians
settled in what is now Chowan Coun.
ty. Charles II. of England granted
the country, under the name of Caro-,
lima, to eight Lords Proprietors, who
anxious to establish a furnishing col
ony, offered every inducement to i'm.
migrants. Religious freedom wa.
granted, and political liberty prom
ised. Land could be purchased at ex
ceedingly low rates, and settlers were
exempt from paying debts contracted
