1t is said that the Norman peas
ants hit upon a happy scheme of
fleeing Guy de Maupassant, who
once maintained near his home at
Etretat a rabbit warren of few
acres. They used to plant choice
vegetables and rare shrubs in the
adjoining fields, and every year
De Maupassant had to pay for the
damage done by his rabbits. After
a few years he got tired of this
sort of thing. He computed that
the few rabbits he shot cost him
about $50 apiece, which was rather
too much even for an enthusiastic
sportsman to pay; SO he determined
to destroy his game preserve.
There we're only four or five bur-
rows in the Enclosure. and few
ferrets soon dislodged all the in
habitants.
One night after the rabbits had
been destroyed the writer hap
pened to visit his former preserve
and detected man skulking along
under the trees, with a large bag
slung over his shoulder. De Maui
PEASANT supposed that the man
had come to steal wood and chal-
lenged him. The supposed thief
took to his heels, leaving behind
him his bag, which was found to
be filed with rabbits of both sexes.
The man was an honest neighbor,
who, shrewdly reasoning that there
could be no damages if there were
no rabbits, had thought it advisa.
BILE to restock the warren himself

MAN of bad reputation gets along all right
while his affairs prosper, out soon he gets into
difficulties he discovers that something is lacking.
For then he realizes that he has not only his i'm
mediate trouble to contend against, but that he is
also required to do battle with cloud of old pre-
judices things people have heard and taken for
granted for years It is the hardest kind of fight
to win, because your enemies are hidden. man in
such circumstances must first defend himself against
the old accusations before he reply to the new
ones with any chances of success. A good
name is the most valuable asset in the world This
has been repeated SO many times that it is trite
saying, but is nevertheless truth.

FEW days ago the citizens of St. Louis un-
yelled a memorial tablet to the late Eugene Field.
It was intended to mark the birthplace of the gentle
poet and story teller, and the ceremonies connected
with the unwilling somewhat elaborate. Mark
Twain delivered the address of the day, and among
those who listened to him were several members of
the Rochambeau- Lafayette party and most of the
prominent citizens of St. Louis. The unwilling had
all the dignity of affair." So far so good but
it has since TRANSFERRED that Field was never once
born in the house marked with the memorial tablet,
but first the light of day in quite distant part
of St. Louis. In fact the house in which he was
born was torn down years ago and a warehouse now
stands it's SITE If Field were still alive he would
enjoy the situation perhaps would End it more
humorous than the committee does.

Rev. J. W. MCDANIEL, a colored clergyman con-

sociology, and political economy. In short, it is
practical effort to render the negro fit for the service
he can SO we'll render in many forms and ways, and
help to solve the great problem of the place of

Isn't that pretty big contract and isn't some
of it rather unnecessary? Mr. Mcdaniel does not
intimate that the pupils of the institute are studying
for the professions and what trade is there requiring
q knowledge of Greek and Hebrew? These studies
are excellent mental training and are valuable to

TRAFFIC OF THE MILLS ROAD,
Large Increase in Shipments. Movement of
Tobacco.

The Raleigh and Cape Fear Road will
probably handle a good deal of tobacco
this season. The first shipment was made
Friday, from Sections. Monday e. A.
Howard shipped something over thous-
and pounds from Willow Springs This
gentleman, an experienced tobacco far
mer from Granville, located and got to
work rather late, but still expects crop
of $4,000 pounds, for which he has already
been offered ten cents per pound. AS a
tobacco raising section Mr.. Howard con-
siders this par excellence.
The change in schedule, giving two
trains to and from Raleigh every day in
the week except Sundays, is significant.
1t means that the business of the road
has outgrown the old schedule and that
facilities for handling it have had to be
increased.
Meanwhile the work of grading for the
extension to Ellington is proceeding
apace. AS soon as five or six miles of
this work is finished track laying will
begin. Mr.. Mills states that when the
road reaches Ellington it's business will
doubtless be increaed three fold. 1--WE
are competing with wagon traffic be-
tween Fuquay and Raleigh he says,
"but this won't be the case down in Har-

The great popularity Of Peruna as a ca
taITh remedy has tempted many people to
initiate Peruna. A great many so-called
catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are
to be found in many drug stores. Thesa
remedies can be procured by the druggist
much cheaper than Peruna. Reruna can
only be obtained at uniform price, and
70 druggist can get it cent cheaper.
Thus il is that druggists are tempted 70
substitute the cheap limitations OF Peruna
for Peruna. 1t is done every day without
4 doubt.
