FOOLED TIE COLONEL.
she way Paddy BrRnnigan Outms-
neuvered His Superior.

The colonel, or cold Daddy" as he
was usually called. had habit OF
strolllng round the camps at most un-
seasonable hours Sentries had to be
continually on the alert, Tor nothing
would have given "Old Daddy great
er satisfaction than to have pounced
on some luckless one who might think
the midnight hours suitable for a quiet
snOoze.
Paddy Brannigan made that mistake
once. There in the quiet moonlight
he sat, all unconscious of the colonels
presence, his rifle laid against the tent,
himself buried in slumber. Gently the
rife was lifted from its place. But
some good angel awoke Paddy in time
to see the colonel making his way to
the guard tent Paddy missed his rifle
at once and followed the colonel with
the caution OF a prairie cat
Outside the guard tent stood the
wooden rack which held the rifles OF
the guard and into it "Old Daddy plac-
ed paddy's rifle, himself entering the
tent to call the sergeant IN charge

grabbed his rifle and was back at his
post in an instant. The colonel brought
the sergeant outside and ordered him
to count the rifles.
"All correct, sir" said the sergeant.
Nothing Of the sort There Is an ex
ira rifle there That I am certain Of
for / put it there myself"
81 beg your pardon, sir, but the mum
Der is quite correct" again replied the
somewhat amazed sergeant
"Come with me-come with me this
instant, and I'll soon let you see whaI
l mean"
The sergeant followed his chief, won
dering what was going to happen.
Halt. Who goes therei" rang on
clear and sharp in the night air from
the now wideawake Paddy.
This was more than "Old Daddy
had ever dreamed Of For moment h'
was paralyzcd. Then he marche,
straight up TO Paddy gazed into hi
sweely innocent face and. with I
"Well. I'm blowed." turned on his hee

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

Begin life where you are.
Go to work earnestly and confident
ly.
Carefully look over what is to be
done.
Keep a cool head and cultivate
polse.
Do not be overcome by seeming mis-
takes.
DO as well as you can what lies near
est at hand.
Only weak people are cast down by
apparent failures and blunders.
Sometimes our apparent mistakes
help us along more than our seeming
success.
Errors are sometimes very expensive
but, then, again, they often save In the
long run more than they cost
Those who win in llfe's BATTLES are
the brave. courageous ones who lool
upon all experience as being educa
tionaL
Meet your difficulties and problemi

TWIN nnd the Rivermen.


Mark Twain once told to a party of
friends the following story on himself:
On one occasion when he started on
a trip down the Mississippi river on a
fatboat he was advised never to an
swer the questions asked by rlvermen
on other boats and never to handy
words with them, as he would be sure
always to come out second best. he
followed the advice rellgiously for n
time, but one day he thought he saw
n chance to get the better Of a river
man who called out:
"Hey, thar. what yer loaded withY'
"Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboard?" yelled back Twain.
"Thats whut 1 reckoned, seeln' as
how they let ther biggest donkey hev
ther run Of the deczr' came back.
Twain made a dive below as all the
rivermen in the neighborhood set up a
derlsive laugh at his expense.

Christian Denomination of Virginia and N. C.

There will be no lack of orphanages
iE North Carolina. if one may judge from
present indications. The Junior Order OF
United American Mechanics and the In
dependent Order of Red Men have the
matter of building homes for destitute
little ones under serious consideration
and now still another is being planned
this one by the Christian church of Vir
ginia and North Carolina. This denomi-
nation has decided to build an orphan
age and a board of trustees has been Sc
lected. DR. w. S. Long, of Elon Col
lege. is the president OF, the board; Rev.
J. l.. Foster, of Raleigh, secretary and
Mr.. j. A. Mills, of Raleigh, treasurer
The other directors are w. B. Mann, E.
L. Moffitt, Judge West and w.
J. Lee of Virginia. Several thou
sand dollars have been collected, and the
location is soon 10 be selected. Raleigh
would seem to be the best location, being
lalf way between the northeastern sec
ton, where the denomination is strcne.
and their educational institution, Elon
College in CeHtra North Carolina.
