Deacon" Whites Business Rules.
Following are the rules laid down
for financial success by Broker
White, known as "Deacon," who has
just retired from Wall street with
millions. He is a consistent Chris
tian.
1. Live up to the letter of your
promise, verbal or written, though it
takes years to fulfill the pledge.
2. In speculative engagements re-
member that the twentieth century
traders are giants compared to the
traders of old, and that operations
henceforth must be conducted with
a due regard to changed conditions.
3. Success in Wall street, as in all
other business, can be achieved only
by literal hard work in keeping
abreast of the era and keen percep-
ton of the psychological moment to
make a profit or suffer loss.
4. Make your word as good as your
bond, and be as swift as the swiftest
in greeting opportunity when il
knocks, or evading disaster when il
casts a shadow.
s. Remember how to the swift il
the race, aud do not enter long
distance competition when trained
for short dashes only.

great favorite with the audience, and
Miss Murchison, falling in love with
the animal, coaxed her father to buy
him. This resulted in several in
terviews with Mr.. Hurkamp, who
was invited by Mr.. Murchison to call.
He did 80, and continued his visits
at regular intervals. Some time
afterward his engagement to Miss
Murchison was announced. A quiet
little wedding ct the brides home
followed, and the couple have since
lived at the Boscobel Stock Farm,
where Hornpipe was bred and raised,
Hornpipe is the champion heavy
weight jumper of the South. He
has won over seventy ribbons. To-
day, when Mr.. Hurkamp was ap-
preached, he said: "Seli Hornripef
Not for million dollars. Why,
man, Hornpipe won me my wife. i

YE CHRISTMAS FOLK.


Regard the gen'rous Christmas pa,
Who to his loved ones says "ts-ta,"
Aud, with pillow abdomen
And cotten-batten whiskers, then
Essays the lighted candles--la
l would not be tho Christmas pa
The anxious, foot-sore Christmas wife,
"Ne'er bothered so In all her lifep'
Her mind beset by snake" and "sizo,"
By dressipg-gowns, cigars, and ties,
And with vague apprehension rife
I'm glad I'm not the Christmas wifel
Hurrah the bubbling Christmas boy,
Who probes about with eager joy,
And pokes his nose in secret hooks,
And smells out skates and games and
books.
What cunning tricks he doth employi
I'd love to be the Christmas boyi
Alas tn unhappy Christmas clerk,
Whose holidays are work, work, work;
For when sale has been arranged
The things come back TO be exchanged, ~
He must not swear, but smile and smirk--
I'd hate to be the Christmas clerk.
Behold the gallant Christmas youth,
Who lives on bread and cheese, forsooth,
And pswns his watch TO buy pin
The girl he covets thus to win
(And rivals put to shame). In truth,
was, myself, the Christmas youth.
Bail 'witching, crafty Christmas maid
Beneath the mistletoe srrsyed,
Who, by her mien and woman's wit,
Makes every fellow think he's "it''-
Although he isn't I'm afraid
L cannot be the Christmas maidl

Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ctety, Rappahannock District.

The late annual meeting in Rich.
mond of the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society of the Virginia Con-
ference closed the fiscal year of this
Society. The sessions were most re-
freshing seasons, feast socially and
spiritually, an inspiration to all who
were 80 privileged to attend this
"harvest-time" gathering. And as
these consecrated women laid their
offerings, little and big, at the
Master's feet, for the advancement of
His Kingdom on earth, so surely
were the Heavenly windows opened
70 pour out the promised blessing.
The financial report was the best
in the history of thia Society. The
sum raised for all purposes amounted
to $40, ,06I.42-$1,72 1855 more than
last year. $2,674.sl was given for
the building of Virginia school in
China.
1t is with real pleasure that can
report $S13.66 all told as the portion
raised BY the elect and self sacrifc-
ing ladies of the Rappshannock Dis
trict. $218.0S more than last year.

Marvland,s Bic F,nanc,al VICTORY.


The payment by the Northern Central Rail
way Company of $3.50. 1904 to the State of
Maryland in full settlement of arrearages of
annuity closes legal contest which was fought
out in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City,
the Court Of Appeals of Maryland, and the
Supreme Court of the United States Attor-
ney General Rayner appeared for the State
before all the tribunals, and every point for
which he contended was sustained. The
controversy grew out of the attempt of the
Railway Company to force the State to accept
the sum of 81, 100000 in full settlement of an
annuity of 100000 year which had been es-
tabiished by contract in lieu of debt of ST.
SOC, 900 owed by the old Baltimore and Susque-
hanna Railroad. When the Northern Central
Railway Company acquired this property it
agreed to pay to the State the sum mentioned
annually. This was forty-eight years ago.
Abouttwo years ago the Railway Company ten
dered to the State the sum of 81 500, 900 in gold
in settlement of the debt. The State refused to
settle on this basis, and the Railway Company
discontinued the payments of the annuity.
The case was taken to court, and verdict in
favor of the State was given. An appeal to the
Court of Appeals was filed, and an opinion
was handed down affirming the decision of
the lower court, which in effect means that a
mortgage Ringing on an annuity is not re-
deemable except by consent. The Supreme
Court of the United States was then invoked,
and after reviewing briefs submitted by coun-
sci decided that it had no jurisdiction.

If be decided to observe alag Day" in the
schools on June 14th. the Maryland flag should
be floated prominently in order that the patri-
otism of the pupils may be given wholesome
local color. "Old Glory will be displayed, of
course, but along with it the pretty flag Of
Maryland should find its place, and it would
be pleasant variation of performance which
tends to become tame if the flags of Virginia,

Pennsylvania. our neighbors, were also given
to the breeze. Patriotism is first of all a local
sentiment of attachment to ones home, but it
should be broadened. lift can be strengthened

ing to the statistical report of the Census

maintains its proud position of being the great

now beat us in the value of land and buildings,
