Thank God for Orphans.

We have a thousand things to thank
God for.
But did you ever thank Him for the
privilege of caring for orphan children?
1t is a privilege. Every orphanage
is His special care. He is the God Of
the fatherless. He blesses those who
blesses His little ones.
Let Jew and Gentle, Protestant AMI
Catholic alike, use Thanksgiving day
for the blessed privilege of helping the
little ones of the great King.
At the Thoruwell Ophanage, Clinton,
s. c., there two hundred Of these or
phans, the little brothers and sisters of
all the great company of loving hearts.

nomination of the church; orphans Of
Masons and Odd Fellows, knights OF
Honor and Pythians, are in the rank OF
the little ones; they come from every
southern state aud some northern ones.
No agent is in the field begging fol
their support; the church sets apart nc
special day for collections. Whosoevel
will may help and in an suitable way.

Manifests OppositlOn.

Washington, Nov. 10.-In removing
Collector of Internal Revenue J. FL.
Bingham of Alabama the president has
again shown his objection to the policy
of republicans in the south who would
eliminate the negro from politics. In
speaking of the removal of Collector
Bingham, Postmaster-Ge General Payne,
the political adviser of the administra-
ton, said that the removal was no re-
fiection on Bingham's character or eff
cheney, but that the position of the re-
publicans of Alabama at their recent
state convention, when they refused to
recognize negro delegates, was a per-
version of the fundamental principles
of the republican party, and Collector
Bingham is held partly responsible by
the administrationfor this policy of ex-
cluding the negroes from participating
in party affairs The administration
has now certainly manifested its oppo
sition to the so-ealled white republican
ism of the south emphaticOlly enough
to be understood

IF PA COULD BE A BOY.
I've often heard my papa say

I've often heard my papa say
He wisht he was a boy;
That life would be one grand sweet song
With nuthin' left but JOY.
II that is what he really thinks
I wish he'd take try,
An if he had to keep it up
I bet that pa would die.
He couldn't wallow round in bed
Till it was after eight,
An then cit up as mad as hops
Cause ma had called him late.
He couldn't spit the coffee out
An call it pizoned slush,
An say the eggs weren't fit to eat,
An ask who burnt the mush.
Fer if he tried sech things as these
Mad yank him by the hair,
An fix him so he'd rather stand
Than sit upon chair.
He couldn't come home late at night
An then begin to scold
Because he'd made us wait so long
The grub had gotten cold.
He couldn't shove his plate away
An say he warn't no hog;
He couldn't swear, he couldn't smoke,
He couldn't kick the dog.
he couldn't rush out to the club,
An have little game,
An then come home in such q way
He didn't know his name.
He couldn't knock off work mex day
An lie around in bed,
While ma cracked up great chunks of ict
An packed itround his head.
If he could be boy again
/ think it might suit ma,
But you can bet your button boots
1t wouldn't do for pal

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has been
branded by the most competent author
tiles. They have dispelled the silly
notion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, another for muscles, and still
another bones. A correct died will not
only nourish a particular part of the
body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be, its nutriment is destroyed by
indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine Of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates the
liver to healthy action, pCriies the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and vigor-

Grave of Annie Laurie.

Public notice has been directed in
England to the grave of Annie Laurie,
and the fact that it has been sadly neg

without tombstone is attracting atten-
tion. The st. James Gazette remarks:
MANY people are under the delusion
that Annie Laurie was merely fgment
of the poets brain, but this was not So
She was the daughter of Sir Robert
Laurie and was born in Maxwelton
House, which stands on the 'braes' i'm
mortalized in the song. Maxwelton
House is still full of memories of this
winsome girl, and in the long drawing
room there still hangs her portrait. Her
lover and the author of the original
song was young Douglas of Fingland,
but whether he, as is common with
lovers of poetic temperament, did not
press his suit sufficiently or whether
she wished stabler husband, she gave
her had to prosaic country laird, her
cousin, Alexander Ferguson. They
lived the rest of their lives at Craigdar-
rock house, five miles from Maxwelton,
and when she died Annie was buried in
the beautiful glen of the Cairn. Lady
Scott Spottiswood, who died early in
the present year, was responsible fol

A CAMP STORY.

Misses Sarah X. Fairfax and Mollie
Cresap were down at Camp Fairfax ON the
Winding River Cheat last week, having a
good time fishing, boating and bathing Till
the storm Friday night which scared them
out. They were down the river in boat
when the storm broke in all its fury. Thun-
der and lightning rent the air. The high
winds rolled the water in grea, waves and
almost swamped the boat, but Miss Fair
fax being good oarsman, got the boat
ashore and let Miss Cresap out, telling her
to hasten TO the camp while she brought the
boat up along the shore to the landing.
When she got to the camp she found tree
had blown down right across il, but could
lind nothing of her companion. She
searched the house and all around in the
darkness and rain but in vain. She called
but could find nothing of Miss Cresap and
fearing that she was los, or hurt by falling
tree or limb, made her way to the nearest
house, mile down the river, for help.
She got TO Mr.. Gales, who lives ON I p.
Martins place, completely dienched and
exhausted They had gone 10 bed but at
once routed out with lanterns and went in
search of Miss Cresap. In the meantime
the latter had gotten bewildered in the
darkness and fury of the storm and lost her
way and wandered off up the river. When
she found she was lost she called for hello
and Gar Haeans who lives on this side
hearing her, got on horse and crossed
the river to her and brought her over to his
place behind him on the horse. Then
going back to see about Miss Fairfax, found
the other searching party Explanations
were in order and Miss Fairfax remained at
Gales that night and Miss Crcsap at Hagan's
and next day the ladies sent for Gus Cresap
to come after them and bring them back 10
town as they had enough camping for the
present. Ais well that ends we'll and
they're laughing over their experience now.
