Nothing is more amusing than to

they come In sight Of each other they
slacken their pace and approach With
downcast eyes and ava.ted faces, as f
neither was worthy Ct beholding the
other, then they bow low so as to tring

The Child to the Father.

Rob't Bridges in Ladies' Home Journal.
Father, it's your love that safely guides
me,
Always it's around me, night and
day,
It shelters me, and soothee, but meyer
chides me,
Yet, father, there's shadow in my
way.
All the day, my father, I am playing
Under trees where scnbeans dance
and dart
But often just at night when I am
praying
l feel this awful hunger in my heart
Father, there is something-it has
missed me-
1'Ye felt it through my little days
and years;
And even when you petted me and
kissed me
I've cried myself to sleep with burn
Ing tears.
To-day / saw a child and mother walk
ing,
I caught gentle shining in her
eye,
And music in her voice when she was
talking
Oh, father, is it that that makes me
cry?
Oh, never can I put my arms around
her,
Or never cuddle closer in the night
Mother, oh, my mother 1--we rot
found her
look for her and cry from dark to
light

Thriftlsssness in Caldwell,

| Charlotte Observer.
The Lenoir News of last week had
this striking editorial:
| "a few days since, in short tramp
In the country, We noticed fis'd CT
corn still standing ungathared. going
to waste While corn Is selling readily at
81 bushel. We noted at another
place good moving machine, stand
ing out in the weather, where it Lad
evidently been left at the end OF the
| hayi1g season. Cattle are still, in
| many instances, left out in the fields
| unprotected from storms and fed a
little hay and bran on the ground to
be trampied in the mud. # housed at
all 1t is done in such an Indifferent and
aleless manner that they are given
very little protection and twice the
amount OF feed is required to keep
them In condition thai would be need
ed were they kept warm and dry. Hay
and all kinds of forage is left standing
in the field until needed for use. By
that time more or less OF it has been
wasted by exposure to the weather
depreciation of the poorly fed cattle
above referred to.
''These and many other evidences of
carelessness, thriitlessness Or ignorance
can be seen a7y day in short trip
through this country, and we must
get out OF these old ru.s, take care of
things and work with judgment, max
ing an acre by good fertilization and
| tillage produce what two or four now
produce by thu careless cultivation.
"With proper management and thrift
| we believe farming offers better induce
ments In this country at this time than
ever before, but many old ideas and
habits must be abandoned.
"It seems to US there is a fine OPEN
ing for some one TO make good monsy
in this community, raising pigs and
| poultry. Pigs are in demand at high
prices, and chickens ard eggs have
commanded higher prices during the
last twelve months than ever before.
"Spring chickens vii! bring Is to 20
cents pound by April or May
Truly, this is bad showing, and the
worst Of it is that our conten Dorary
says tina: such evidences OF thriltless-
ness as it has pictured "ean be seen
any day in short trip" through its
country. The wonder is that people so
careless and so wasteful can manage to
make buckle and tongue meet-that
they contrlve to keep body ana soul
together. They conld not elsewhere e
than in country upon which God has
bestowed His blessings with bounte-
Gus hand. And even in this country
they could not do it in any other ayo-
cation except that of agriculture

The Cocoa Tre:.

Selected
A traveller in South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated, !,
speaks Ct the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun, which, IT very strong, is
fatal to them. To secure this prote c.
ton and planters shield them by ta-
mana trees and piantain trees, the
broad leaves OF which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are full grown they reed protection,
which is given by trees known as "in-
mortels," or, as the planters call them,
"the mother Of the cocoa" Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has sort OF
canopy.

ACTIVE OLD AGE.
What Men Have Done,
IT IS NEVER TCo LATE.

r. H. Williams in Baltimore Sun.
Victor Hugo likened an Old man TO
"a thinking ruin,'' and yet The literary
products Of authors well advanced III
years have been many, and some oi
them were very popular and useful.
Thomas Benton, who had spent 80
years IN the Senate OF the United
States, began his literary career a: the
age OF 20, and few younger men did
more in tha number Of years he had
for work.
Lord Brongham, in the conclusion
OF his autobiography, says: "Ii many
statements have been ieebly anc some
inaecurately rendered let it be rernen-
bered that began this attempt after i
was 50 years Of age, With eafeebled in
tellect, falling memory and but Sigh!
materials by me to assist it. Above
all, there was not left oEe single friend
or associate of n1y earlier days whose
recollections might have AIDED mine
All were dead. l alone survived Ct
those who tad acted in the scenes !
have here family endeavorod to re-
trace"
1t was said of DR.. Ashbel Green, of
Princeton, n. j., that "soIae Of The
ablest productions Of h.s pen were
written after he had passed his tour
score years"
Goethe, Humboldt, Won Ranhe,
Hugo, Gu,zot and Others did excellent
work after they had passed The age OF so.
Our own poets, Longiel!ow and
Whittier, wrote some Of their test
poems after they had reached 70.
At the age of s6 Dr.. E. A. Park WAS
busy on bis memoirs of Jonathan Ed
wards.
"The only remarkable thing which
belonged to me as an author" SAID
Miss Hannah Moore, "was that | had
written II books after the age OF CO."
Mrs. Somerville revised her last two
works at the age ct 80.
President Woolzey wrote scholarly
articles for theological reviews st he
age of 85
". Cullen Bryant was congratulated
on the vigor of his intellectual powers
after the age of So
In writing his last work, Albert
Barnes, at 70, remarked: "This com.
pletes my work On the Bible, work
whici, has oecuc;ed my leisure hours
for 20 years, which has been to NE an
unFalljng source OF enjoyment and
which has met with degree of success
which ! never expected"
In many cases the body declines
before the mind shows any Fee
bieaess. Indeed, the mind shows
great activity often when the hcdy !! as
been emaciated by disease.
The wonder has been that the mind
should retain its ylgor aite: the BODY
has become enfeetIed.
The secret has been given by two
aged men, in widely different circum-
stances and in days separated fiom
each other:
Dr. Samuel Miller has said "The
premature dotage of many distinguish
men has arisen from their ceaslng, in
advanced life, to exert their faculties,
under tie impression that they were
too Old to engage In any new enter
pri=e."
When John Adams was 80 years of
age he Uas asked how he kept his
faculties entire up to the age OF 50.
He answered: "By CONSTANT; TN.

The most ridiculous thing that has
sen dished out to the public in d
.,ns time, Is the proposition to pen
ion the widows OF Presidents. TIE
GLOWING editorial utterance by the
5tasesvilie Landmark we think will be
-;,d 3rsed by every reasonable person
The United States Senate on Fri
'ay passed without objection bill
living Mrs Ida S. Mckinley, widow OF
he late President, a pension of 50 ,OOC
per annum, and the measure will
prom ptly pass the House. The prece-
:eno ha5 been set and while Mrs. Nc
Kinley has no earthly need of 5000 a
year from the government, having an
state worth two Or three hundred
thousand dollars, sentiment rules the
.o:,r and she will get the pension.
FRS. Mex, aley Can decline to receive
his pension, add while we do not ex.
,ect that she will, such action On her
,art would not only be proper and Wise
out it would set a precedent that
night operate to stop some OF this
ooilshness of quarterlng relatives OF
lead statesmen on the public treasury
.irs. Mckinley has a splendid oppor'
unity If she would Only take advan'
age Of it.
1T was announced recently that an
fort would be made to secure pen
,lon for Mrs. Harrison, widow of the
.ta ex-President Harrison, and later il
VS. stated that the matter had been
iroopsd at Mrs. Harr,sons request
This would have been sensible but Mrs
Harrison gives out IN newspaper In
:erv1sw hat she wants The pension and
THINKS she Is entitled to 1t. We dc
not believe the widow oi any Presl dent
j entitled to pension or has Jus
lli.y, % one, but If they were Mrs
Harr son IS On different footing. Shs
married Mr.. Harrison after he had re-
tired from office and has not, therefore
5he saae c:aim-if there be any claim
as Mrs Grant, Mrs. Garfield or Mrs
mckinley. Moreover Mr.. Harrison
eft : 900 estate, enough we under
stana to amply supply the wants of his
gi.ioy and ner child, and there Can bs
30 claim on the ground of necessity
II Mrs. rranc,s Folsom Cleyeland out
lives the cid Sheriff, as she probabl.
Will, she will be entitled, under th'
precedent, to pension as President'
widow, but here's hoping that she viii
never ask for nor take one ii 1t Is o1
tered and we don't believe she will
Notwithstanding she has severa! child
ren and may actually need the pension
when it shall be offered her."

Points and Paragraphs Of Things
Present, Past and Future.

IN view OF the many railroad wrecks
in all parts of the country, the follow
Ing paragraph in the Indianapolis
State Sentinel is timely:
"A suggestion is made that congress
investigate the matter Of railroad
wrecks and see if some means of pre-
venting them, or at least lessening G
them, cannot be devised. 1t is an ex-
ce!lent idea. There are too many
railroad wrecks III this ccuntry-more
:rooab!y than In any other country on
earth, In proportion to size. Many Of
hem are certainly preventable. In
some cases they are unquestiona bly,
,ue to overworkIng men. We need
more attention to ordinary precautions
'.,r the protection of human life"
The condition of some OF the United
States soldiers in the Philippines is
,wfnl. Concerning a certain expedi-
ton into the interior of Samar, the
following paragraph shows some of the
sickening results:
':The condition of Captain Porter's
marines, who took part in the expedi-
ION into the interior of Sauar, is
much worse than previously reported.
they suffered fearful hardshjps and
.:ere without food for several days.
The mattress who accompanied the
marines claimed they were unable to
distinguish the edible roots, which the
marines did not believe. None OF the
natives returned with the marines
The men suffered so acutely from star
satlon that they ate raw the flesh Of
wo dogs. When Captain Porter and

The greatest cost OF transporting
timber from the forests Of the north
west by vessel to the west coast OF
America has caused experiments to be
made at various times OF transporting
tim Der In bulk. The RATS are cigar
shaped, built il central hulk, and se-
cured by chains every twelve feet. The
whole laft is about 400 feet in length,
made up of eishty-foot logs, and being
thirty feet In diameter. Il would take
the full capacity OF a dozen ordinary
vessels to carry as much timber as
there is in such raft.
