MORAL. AGENCIES" IN OLD KAN
 SAS.

SAS.
 At Lecompton the other day lad paddling around in the shallow waters of the Kaw found a Sharp's rifle of the ancient pattern of fifty years ago. Some one has suggested that 1t Is one of "Beecher's Bibles" the name given by the early settlers to this weapon, and the suggestion recalls 8 curious bit or early history When the first emigrants sent out by the New England Aid and other societies of the north found their settlements beset by bands of pro sla.v- cry men from Missouri they called upon their eastern friends for arms with which to defend themselves and many shipments of sharp's rifles were made to them from both Boston and New York But all goods shipped to Kansas had to come up the Missouri river and through 'the eneny's country" and the Missourians had fashion of confiscat- Ing such weapons as they found. So the rifles were shipped as something else in packages shaped to deceive. For example, in 1855 Amos Lawrence wrote from Boston to his agent at Hartford, Conn:
 "Reduest MT. Palmer to have ten Sharp's rifles packed in casks like hard ware, and to retain them subject to my order Also to send the bill to me. I will pay 1t either with my note at seven 1 per cent. interest or in cssh.'
 And these rifles were shipped to Law l renee and got safely through, as did others. packed in a way to deceive. It was charged that Henry Ward Beecfer had sent box of the rifles marked ''Bibles," and when approached by a New York Evening Post reporter he admitted 1t to be fact. 'I believe, he said, 'that the Sharp rifle is truly a moral agency, and there is more moral power in one of these instruments, so fas as the shareholders of Kansas are concerned, then in one hundred Bibles. You might just as well read the Bible to buffaloes as to those fellows who ! follow Atchisor sn5 Stringfellow." So 1 the weapons took the name of Beech CTS Bibles" and by this they were commonly known.--Kansas City Jour- nal.

spEcrMENs OF PROFESSORS WITT.

Dr. varnadoe, noted professor ot Greek, is very fond of flowers, and some days ago. on returning from his college duties, he found In his front yard a pestiferous calf belonging to neigh bor. The doctor gave chase and the an imal plunged toward the flower pit, and in another instant crashed through the glass cover and mixed at random with the pots and plants below. When an- other professor passed few minutes later he said, gravely: T do not under stand, Dr. Varnadoe, why you should object so seriously to having modest oowslip added to your fine collection of plants"
 The doctors drowning face relaxed. "Ah, Sanborn," he retorted, you see, this was only a worthless bulrush. '-- The Argonaut.

THE DUTY OF THE MOTHER IN
 HER HOME.
 The duties of the mother begin long before her children come into life,-aye and the duties of the father, also. He needs to know that the physical sins which he may thoughtlessly commit in his early manhood may be fearfully punished in the person of his child, by the action of the renorseless law or he- reality; that "Whatsoever a man sow eth. that shall he also reap, wild oats" or what ever else may be sown; that it is the husband and the wife to- sether who make the home; and that, if he is incorporate, extravagant, ill- tempered, indelicate, arrokant, ignor- ant and obstinate, his wife cannot make the home what it ought to be, no matter how wise, loving and prudent she may be- Enlightened motherhood needs to be supplemented by enlight- ened fatherhood, if the home is to be- come what it should be, the great civil izing and uplifting agency of the world. A mother should know all that science can teach of the prenatal laws of being and of heredity. Her acquaintance with physiology should not be the su- perfcial knowledge given in the ordina- ry school or college even. It should be a. thorough exposition of the mysteries of her own physical being, with clear understanding of the hygienic laws she must obey, if she would grow into heal+hv. endurin" woranhcod. She should be taught the laws of ventilation and of nutrition what constitutes healthful food; the care of infancy; the nursing of the sick; and in what hat

Fort Mill, s. G, June IT 1902.
My wife was a terrible sufferer
from Indigestion. She couldn't eat
anything without it's souring on her
stomach, and was forced to live on
the highest kind of diet, sweet milk
and crackers, and even that dis
agreed with her. This brought on
many different ailments. She was
SO weak she couldn't sit up in bed
without help, She suffered from
constipation all the tune, 50
that she would have TO take some
thing daily for II. She was very ner-
vous aad could only sleep at night
when something was given to make
her sleep. It was a general break
down after the birth Of her third
child Nothing we gave ner gave
any permanent relief. As fast as one
trouble was relieved another would
take its place. I then put her on
Mrs. Joe Persons Remedy. She
felt a little better on the second
bottle and on the third the improve
ment was marked. My wife COM
menced to built up and to get
stronger she can now eat anything
she wants and it agrees with her It
cured her of chills. she took ABOUT
eight bottles. Her general health is
now good. l believe my wife would
have died had I not put her on Mrs.
Remedy. We now use it in
our family for everything. No mat
ter what the trouble Is we go on the
Remedy. It is a No. 1 doctor and
handy to have in the house.

Two Shades of Green.

Women who are possessed Of rudy
compilations should bear in mind that
the light green now Sc fashionable is
not suited to them because it is a
color which has the effect of producing
an overheated appearance. A delicate
green on the other hand, is favorable
TO pale blond compilations because It
imparts a rosiness to such complex
ions, red, it's complimentary color, be-
ing reflected upon green, says Wom-
ans Life. Violet is an unfavorable
color for almost every kind of complex
ion because rejecting yellow it in
rease that tint when it is present in
the skin or hair. It gives to an olive
complexion a j%aundiced look. Blue,
again. is unsuitable to brunettes be-
cause It adds to the darkness of the
complexion. Yellow, orange and red
emit dark people because, contrasting
with the dark skin and hair, they not
only show to greater advantage them
selves, but enrich the hue of the black.

TOBACCO TALK.

n Goldsboro Tobacco Market will open on Friday, August 1, 1902.
L will pay the farmers to bear this date in mind and bring their TO-
pacco to thlsm arket-fy your tobacco is not ready for the Opening Dav
Come Any Day, for this market is going to pay the best prices this wear
In it, history, and every load of tobacco you haul elsewhere you will be
the loser, for the Goldsboro Market this year has experienced buyers rep
resenting not only many large houses that buy for foreign shipment, but
also the American Tobacco Company and it's formidable competitor the
Imperial Tobacco Company, both of which buy without limit and paw
always right up to the very highest value of every pile O n any floor.
In making these statements to the farmers, we do so as business m @
If reputation, who have backed our judgment as to the superior merit of
Goldsboro a a tobacco market by coming here and casting Jul fortunes
with this market and investing money here. This fact alone should
itself to the farmers without further argument on our part.
However, facts always speak louder than words: Therefore, bring your
tobacco to Goldsboro and you will fully realize the glad FACT that it is
the BEST TOBACCO MARKET in the STATE.

COAL FAMINE COMING
Nothing But Resumption of Mines
Can Prevent it-Prices Steadily
Going Higher.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Unless the
coal strike is settled within the next
two weeks and the mines immedi-
ately open up, there will be a coal
famine in Washington before the
middle of September. This state
ment was made today by a member
Of the Washington coal dealers as
ISOLATION, and does not mean simply
that the price of coal will be advanc-
ed, but that coal cannot be bought at
any price. In fact, unless the condi-
lions prevalent in Washington are
relieved, the price of coal will go to
$15 a ton and even higher before the
25th Of this month.
1t was learned today, however,
that by agreement of the coal deal
ers' association the price of coal in
Washington has been maintained at
1918 a ton despite the g~reatscarcity.
The only coal sold in Washington
for the past two months has been
for immediate consumption and all
the local dealers have steadfastly re-
fused to furnish coal for use this win
ter, even when, as in many cases,
double the price has been offered.
