THE ONE SURE THING

There are sounds Of laughter and singinH
And sounds that Of woe make part,
Az The earth 10 its fate goes swinging,
But love 10 lord Of the heart,
And cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And souls be drifting apart,
Dark evil may Turk in the byways,
sim blinking in wrath AT the dawn,
And the terror leap forth on the highways
" the sword from its soabbard withdrawn,
But cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And souls be drifting apart,

THE AMERICAN BEAUTY RosE.-The
famous American Beauty rose is often
said to have originated in Bancroft's 8
garden. The facts are these: In Ban
croft's garden were several varieties
lately imported from France. One had
no label. This was much admired by
a florist named George Field, who hap
pened to be looking over the place in
company with Bancroft's gardener.
Field asked for a cutting. He got it.
Field and his brother worked quietly
for several years until they had big
stock, and then advertised their nov
city as the American Beauty" rose.
They are said to have made small
fortune out Of the transaction. The
American Beauty has since become the
most famous of all roses in the United
States. It has never failed to bring
higher prices than any other rose. In
the market reports it is always quoted
In a class by itself. Only experts can
grow it to perfection, and there is a

nurse who attended her should be paid.
The day wore on. then wore away and
with it the weak thread Of life. The
deceased was the relict Of ]. H. Adams,
who died in 1893, and before her last
marriage was the Widow McElwee.
She was the mother Of Mrs. ]. F. jack
son, of Gastonia, and of Messrs. James
and Hope Adams, Of Bowling Green.
She was a faithful member of the A.
II. P. church at Crowder's Creek. All
her life she was active, energetic, and
Industrious, fond Of her home, her chill
dren, and her friends. She is now at
rest and has gone to her reward. The
burial will take place today at Beth

her father and mother.

fact, and I hadn't seen the girl in all
that time. One day I was passing
along in front of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel when a gray-haired man, stand
ing near the door, stopped me. I didn't
know who he was, and he begged my
pardon and asked If my name wasn't
Stuart. I told him that was my first
name, and gave him my last name.
Then he grabbed me.
"'You saved me and my family he
said, putting his arms about me and
steering me toward the bar. Well
have a drink and I'll tell you about it.
You don't know how glad I am to see
YOU
II instinctively felt that it was no
case of bunco. and went with him. He
had told me his name before we reach
ed the bar, and I knew he was the
father of the Holly Springs girl. We
had the drink, several indeed, and he
explained how I had saved him and his
family.
WIG lLC wal was OfCi llC Aoo iOos
everything, and it was decided that the
family should gather itself together
and leave Mississippi for some point
in the west, to make new start. In
the process Of packing up what was
left, the daughter came across the au-
tograph album in which I had pasted
the thousanddollar bill.
"Thousand-dollar bills of United
States money had somewhat appre-
ciated in value to the southern mind
by that time, and instead Of tossing 1t
aside as waste paper, the girl made a
running jump with 1t to her father.
Very, very carefully, they soaked the
album leaf in warm water, and very,
very carefully they detached the bill.
It was taken to the bank and pro-
nounced sound in every respect.
There isn't much more to the story.
When a man hasn't cent in the world,
and the people around him aren't any
better off, $1,000 is a great. big pile. and
the Holly Springs girls dad had it.
He hurried off to Memphis, laid in a
stock Of all kinds Of necessaries, and
coming back to the old place, he braced
himself and held on.
"He hadn't grown rich; but he had
enough to give me back the thousand
by little squeezing. and he wantei !o
do it,. but I was pretty flush myself
just then, and told him to keep it and
make more with it to give to his
daughters children, for the girl was
married and had a houseful.

A STORY ON Mr.. CHoATE.-Mr. Mon
tague Lessler has another story on
Ambassador Choate. which he declares
Is little newer than the first ascribed
to him.
"Once," said the agile and capable
New Yorker. II was attorney for peo-
pie with interests opposed to those of
the Standard Oil company. There was
a preliminary examination of some of
the magnates Of that company, in
cluding Mr.. Rockefeller. Finally some
Of Mr.. Choate's clients were drawn in
to the controversy, and they refused
to answer the questions I put to them.
The tangle became very intense, and 1t
was necessary to have a long argument
before the judge. At that time Mr.
Choate himself was in New Jersey ar
guing a tobacco trust case, and we had
to postpone our case for over a week.
Oh, my! how I studied and fortified
myself for the argument against the
great Choate. Certainly, you can i'm
agine how worked.
"Well, the day arrived. Mr.. Cnoate
came. They pulled him off in one cor
ner of the room and poured lot of
talk in his ear. Then spoke for about
an hour and a half. making the effort
Of my life, and Mr.. Choate followed
for about an hour.
1.-The following evening Mr.. Choate
was to deliver an address before the
college of the city of New York, where
I was educated. 7 attended. Mr..
Choate sitting down was quite as tall
as I was standing.
"'How are you. Montague" said he,
putting his arm around me affection
ately. please tell me what all that
fuss was about which we argued yes
terday.' "-Washington Post.

AS VIEWED BY THE DEPARTING PRIs-
oNER-The Rev. Samuel S. Soaring,
chaplain of the house of correction,
South Boston. frequently has amusing
experiences with the prisoners who
come under his care. He is required
by law to have an interview with
every man whose time has expired
and who is about to leave the house.
1t is the chaplain's duty to give the
departing prisoner good advice and to
exhort him to be a decent and honora-
BILE man in the future.
In the course of one of these inter-
views the chaplain said: Now, my
friend, I hope you'll never have to
come back to a place like this"
The prisoner looked at him thought
fully and then asked: II say, chap
lain, you draw a salary here. don't
you?" When Mr.. Soaring replied in
the affirmative, the prisoner remark
ed: "Well, say. if me and the other
fellows didn't keep coming back, you'd
be out of a job."-Boston Herald.

ROMANCE OF A $1,000 BILL.

It Began In War Times and Saved
One Southern Fnmily's Fortunes.
There was a time in the life Of the
Confederacy,". said the southern colo
mel, "when he had so little regard for
the north, or so much for ourselves,
that we didn't think a roll of green
backs was worth any more than a roll
Of wall paper. Out of this feeling grew
very pretty little romance which be-
gan in Holly Springs. MISS. and end
en- at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in New
York city.
II was a young fellow Of the enthu-
siastic sort that believed utterly in the
final success Of our cause, and when in
1862, Van Dorm swung round into Hol-
ly Springs and captured Grants money
and stores, I was on hand with the
boys, whooping 1t up in great shape.
Among the articles captured was big
lot of greenbacks, two or three million
dollars, more or less. and we had plenty
Of it.
II had about s50,OOO in my saddle
bags that I was taking along with me
to give away as souvenirs. 1t wasn't
good for anything else, in my opinion,
but it was worth carrying along for
that, as part of it was in thousand
dollar bills and didn't take up much
room.
II knew pretty girl near Holly
Springs, and incidentally 1 called on
her. We had a good deal to say about
the success Of our arms and as q lit
tie remembrancer I got out one Of my
thousand-dollar greenbacks and stuck
it in her autograph album, writing my
name and the date below the bill.
don't suppose there Is a picture page
in any of the best illustrated maga-
zines of today that represents $1,000 In
cash, as did that illustration I put In
that girls album.
Later / rode out to our camp, some
miles away and putting up my horse,
l adjourned to the banks of a little
stream nearby and was pouring my
soul out through flute. There was
only small bunch of our men. and we
weren't thinking much about Yankee
soldiers. l know I wasn't.
Il wasn't even thinking about my
saddle bags full of money which were
lying under a convenient tree, where I
had thrown them. 1 was thinking
about the girl. Suddenly there was d
row and ruction, and a troop of Yam
kee calvary had swooped down on us.
There was no time given for pre-
paration, and thinking only of how to
get away, I made grab for my horse,
and without saddle or bride, and
guided only by his halter, 1 cut out
through the woods. The saddle bags
1 left under the tree; also the flute,
and l haven't played the flute since.
How l got away l don't know; but l
did, and that was all 1 had in mind
just then. reckon those Yankees knew
what to do with the saddle bags.
THE next chapter begins long after
the war, only about ten years ago, in
