WISE WORDS.

New friends are sometimes moro
dangerous than old foes.
What do we live for II il is not to
make life less difficult for others?
Calculation is the axis around which
many seemingly generous acts re-
volyc.
Marriage to the weak is the end OF
ambition; TO the strong IL acts as a
spur
Youth may laugh at excess. but
maturity tremblcs when the scores
must he paid.
Good wishes are all right rs far as
they go, but they make very poor
building materials for any society.
Kindly words, sympathizing attent'
ions watchfulncss against woundlng
others scntitlvcness. these cost very
little, but they are priceless in value,
Grumblcrs are like the men who
crawi under trains, tapping wheels
with hammer. If the wheels ring
true. all right. If there is danger.
ous flaw. il is discovered, and accidents
are prevented.
1t is wise for oppostcs in character
to form friendships. Balanced Inn
pulses, tendencies, and opinions pre-
serve mental and moral equilibrium,
Just as the meal in both ends of the
sack keeps the farmers grist from
falling off his horses back.
Hunt down and slny your little
faults. "IIc that is faithful in that
which is the least is faithful also In
that which Is greatcr;"and they whc
will hunt down, and slay, and eXtcr'
inmate their little faults, he sure of 1t,
will never willingly commit greater
sins.
Friendship is the best basis of the
personal relations of all kinds. Min
listers and peoples, teachers and pupils,
and even husbands and wives never
come into the best relations with each
other unless they are fitted 10 be per-
sonal friends, without any other spccl'
tic tie binds them together.

them. and they are frequently ceen dur

THE oLo SANTA FE TRAIL.
BY RICHARD BURTON.

1t wound through strange Scared hills
down canons lone
Where wild things screamed, with winds
for company;
Its milestones were the bones of pioneers.
Bronzed, haggard men, often with thirst
a-moan,
Lashed on their beasts of burden toward
the sea;
An epic quest it was OF elder years,
For tabled gardens or for good red gold,
The trail men strove in iron days OF old.
To-day. the steam-god thunders through
the vast,
While dominant Saxons from the hurtlins
trains
Smile at the aliens, Mexic, Indian,
Wbo offer wares, keen-colored, like their
past;
Dread dramas of immitigable plains
Rebuke the softness of the modern man;
No menace, now, the deserts mood OF
rand;
Still westward lies a green and golden land.
For, at the magic touch Of water, blooms
The wilderness, and where of yore the
yoke
Tortured the toilers into dateless tombs,
Lo! brightsome fruits 10 feed a mighty
folk
The Century.

"RuRcyp" Eny Craft.

A Crisfeld. Md, correspondent writes
TO the Baltimore Sun: stephen G. Nc
Cready. OF Crisfeld. gives the follow
ing history Of the boat known as the
bugeye. He has acquaintance with all
kinds Of Chesapeake Bay craft for the
past dfty years. and says: Captain
Clement r. Sterling built the first bug
eye that sailed on the Chesapeake Bay.
Captain Sterling was building n canoe
from three logs. and rs he had plenty
of tine. it occurred TO him TO use two
more logs and put on deck. On his
first trip 10 Baltimore with this pecu-
liar craft he was hailed many times by
passing vessels, whose captains invari.
ably asked what was the name of the
queer vessel. To each inquiry Captain
Sterling replied: It's bugs eye IL
Captain Sterling Were living ut the
present time IL is doubtful IL he could
give an explanation of his answer, be-
yong saying that it was pleasantly.
The name stuck TO the craft, and IL
has been known ever since as the bTg-
eye. The first vessel of this class was
called a punt and was made from one
log followed out: then came the canoe,
and. finally. the most complete vesse.
OF all-the bugeye.
The bugeye is now the most popular
vessel among oystermen IN Somerset
County. and az least 100 new vessels
Of this type are built every year. Some
OF them are OF at least ten feet beam.
and cost $500 They are very strong.

| After the capture or the missionaries
near Bansko. September last, the bril-
| gdnds FASTENED across the boundary
and established themselves on the

district. Bulgaria. where the whole
population were In sympathy with the
enterprise. this fact enabling the band
TO live comfortably and safely and 10
keep in touch with the outside world.
While awaiting the result Of their ef'
forts 10 secure the ransom the brigands
drew their supplies from the adjacent
village OF Ledjuma. Feeling perfectly
secure the members of the band used
10 show themselves openly In neighbor'
ing villages until they were warned by

suit was nearly disastrous 10 the pris'
oLers. The Bulgarian Government, Ill
advised, pushed troops 10 the vicinity
Of Gueltepe. forcing the brigaads 70
break off negotiations, and the band
changed It's quarters 10 kilo.
The cold weather made travel in the
mountains n dreadful ordeal for Miss
Stone and Nine Tsilka, encumbered
as they were with the latter's infant.
Every change Of camp occurred at
night. TIE mountain roads frequently
were almost impossible. often being
deep in snow The brlgands treated
their captives as kindly as the circun.

The strain and suspense eQualed the
physical harlships. The captives at
no time knew their whereabouts, the
brigands always telling them that they
were not in Bulgaria, and they were IN
constant fear Of an attack by the
troops, who at times were close upon
the trail Of the band. An equal cause
Of anxiety was the baby. which ii was
feared would die from exposure.
Not rntil November . did the Amer

troops forced the brigands to another

of the outlaws. but caused bitter cuf'

circuit, they succeeded in returning TO

BOBO STICKS TO IT.

Col. Bob Bobo, of Bobo, Miss.
the bear hunting expert of this
section, and the man who was
too busy, says the Memphis
News, to go over and hunt with
President Roosevelt, arrived in
Memphis yesterday on his way
to Chicago. The famous bear
huuter was seen by many people
during the day and efforts were
made by people representing the
minority element of Memphis to
get from him a denial of the story
that his dogs were not allowed to
go over to Smedes and hunt with
the president. The people who
expected from Col. Bobo any
backwater on a simple PROPOSE
tion were rather badly fooled.
When he was seen at CASTOR S
yesterday afternoon he said:
"Some folks have been trying
to get me to say that the report
about my dogs and the president
was incorrect and they tried to
make me believe that l had snub-
bed the president or that the re-
ports had so credited me. l told
them that l had never snubbed
the president and that any such
reports were not correct, but
that had seen nothing in the
article published by the Morning
News that indicated that had
done as they said. What hurt

100000 feet Of lumber. She
will load with 100000 feet OF
long leaf yellow pine from the
L. N. Dantzler mills, and will
sail in few days for Buenos
Ayres. There was great rejoic
ing at Gulfport when this great
steamer, direct from Liverpool,
came to anchor. as every witness
knew that it meant more and
better business for the state of
Mississippi.
To Capt. J. T. Jones. president
of the Gulf & Ship Island Rail
road com pany, more than to any
other one man, is the state in

steamship. and he is getting the
praise. Capt Jones came to
Mississippi a few years ago from
New York, invested millions of
money in prospective railroad
through the heart of the piney
woods region, and saw to the
building and equipment of the
same in short order. Once the
railroad was completed he went
to work to improve the fine ma

THE BEST REMEDY FOR
GROUP.

From the Atchison, Kan. ;, Dai.

when the woman who knows the
best remedies for Group is in de.
mand in every neighborhood
One of the most terrible things
in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children.
The Group remedies are almost
as sure TO be lost, in case of
Group, as revolver is sure TO be
lost in case of burglars. There
used to be an old-fashionable
rem edy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is better, aud
does not cost so much. 1t causes
the patient to throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives re-
lief in a shorter time. Give this
remedy as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent
the attack. It never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. B. E.
