MIME. NORDICA.

When little more than girl Mime.
 Nordica, then Lillian Norton, made an
 appearance at Madison Square Gar
 den with the famous Pat Gilmore's s
 band, then in the zenith of it's success.
 So brilliant was her triumph that she
 was engaged as soloist with that or
 ganization for a tour of this country and afterward of England. The warm
 hearted conductor one day exclaimed after her song: You will yet be crown ed queen of song in your own coun- try" The prophecy was fulfilled not so many years afterwards when her admirers presented her with diamond crown on the stage of the Metropolitan opera house. This gift of jewels is but one of large number of very beautiful tokens of admiration and regard be- slowed upon Mime. Nordoa in all parts of the world After singing before Queen Victoria once, upon the latter's birthday, Mime. Nordica was invited by request instead of the usual regal command to join the royal party when the queen as a souvenir of the occa- sion presented Mime. Nordica with a decoration in the form of a circle of diamonds surrounding a disc of enam- eled gold bearing the royal monogram in diamonds and suspended from a. crown of the same jewels. Among other jeweled orders from the royalty the great American soprano received from the Grand Duke oe Saxe-Coburg- Gotha that of Arts and Sciences" and also the title of Kammersaengerin."

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L. Mclean & Co.
 New York, March 0.-Developments
 of the day were all that could have been
 desired by the most enthusiastic bull
 and all indications point towards a
 continuation of the present movement
 Special stocks are the ones that most feel the first impetus of general rise and this movement so far has been no exception to the rule We have had sensational advances in Colorado Southern, Colorado Fuel and Iron, North American, Rock Island, and many oth- CT stocks to a somewhat less degree. The market has acted almost exactly as we predicted. Tn our daily letter February 2S we told you to buy the fol lowing stocks at the prices named, Atchison common 741s, Southern Pacific 631a, Union Pacifis 99, St. Paul 165. Peoples Gas 99, and Tennessee Coal and Iron 69, and after buying at these prices to place stop orders from one to two points lower. At about the same time we advised taking profits on Ten
 lSSSee todl dIu lIDn, anu copper around 71. Since the recent drop in Copper we have advised its purchase with stop loss order just below SO, and believe that this stock is at the price named. When it does start to advance it is likely to go up thirty or forty points within a short time, We would also call attention to our letter on Brooklyn Rapid Transit If the 18th inst. No explanation has been found as to what the company intends to do with the $150,000O00 raised from the bond is sue and an advance of thirty or forty points in this stock would not be any surprise to us.
 Chicago: We have not hesitated to advise the sale of wheat from 80 down. and still feel bearish and consider the rally that occurred near the close to- day as only temporary and offering good opportunities to put out an addi- ! tional short line.

a woman's Face.

A man about to be hanged re
views his life. One vivid picture
he recalls is this: Now be was in q
ballroom. There were lights and
flowers. He heard the voluptuous
waltzes in chords of passionate
yearning, and at his side was the
smiling face of a woman, a face
only too human in its sensuous love-
illness. The pictures changed again
and again, but thereafter she was
always with him, and fiually she
wore his ring. Then poverty, biting
poverty, came on them both, and
she was at his elbow urging, always
urging, that he must provide lux
ury for her, no matter what the
cost. He yielded. BE gave her all
she asked. And the price was his
honesty, stain on a name unblem-
ished for centuries. She had spoiled
the castle of his will and DESTROYED
all its defenses, aud so, when an
other tempter said "Drink and for
get" he drank. = Clinton Dancer.

ssDAD.,,


An exchange says: There is a
class of men who are seldom, if
ever, appreciated at their true value.
In this enlightened age they are
commonly called "Dad." 1t is dad
that humps himself year in and year
ont, on the farm, in the office, or
workshop, in order that his boy or
girl may go away to school, and upon
their return, that the boy may have
fine horse aud top buggy and the
girl a costly piano. 1t is dad that
hustles and culiivates great calloused
knots on his hands and becomes
stoop- shouldered in order that his
offspring may revel in luxury and
make tarnal fools Of themselves.
His sons and daughters have learned
at his expense to despise his old
fashioned ways. They secretly laugh
at the style of his Sunday coat and
bell-crowned hat. On Sunday when
his daughter has company and he
would like to sit in the parlor and
listen to the music, he is given in
various wayspto understand that his
presence is not desirable, and the
poor old man goes out into the
kitchen and stays the remainder of
the afternoon. God help the son
and daughter who goes back ON
dad. In the catalogue of low down
cussedness that of ingratitude to
ones parents is the most contemp-
tible." 49,

AFRo-AMERICAN NOTES..

The two days fair and regatta held
at Deep Greek Friday and Saturday
week under auspices of Messrs. w. A.
Weaver, Benjamin Saunders, John
Taliaferro and Alfred Smith, was in
every respect a grand success, So
cially and financially. For some
cause or other Mr.. John Phillips,
who was booked to be on hand with
his merry -go-round did not put in
his appearance, but the Molusk
Tambeurine brass band, which is big
drawing card wherever it goes, was
on hand in due time and in fine style
and furnished excellent music, which
was greatly enjoyed by both young
and old. Even old grey headed Chris
tians as we'll as sinners would find
themselves marching behind the band
step for step to the sweet strains of
music. The long talked of canoe race
between w. A. Weaver's, Maggie,
and Charlie q. Comodore's, Georgia,
was another great feature of the
day as great many people attended
the fair solely to witness this great
race and they were richly repaid. II
was fine race from start to finish,
over course of 6fteen miles off and
on the wind from Weaver's landing
to Bay Port wharf and back, The
race started at $50 o'clock p. m. The
Georgia reached the turning point
first and looked sure winner.
But on their home stretch the Mag
gle took the lead and reached the
goal fully mile ahead Of the
Georgia. Capt. Comodore claimed
that in going about at Bay Port his
center board got fastened and his
canoe would not answer to the helm
is why the Maggie beat him out.
This statement is verified by some of
his crew. The Maggie was managed
by Capt. Rogie Kelley, Oscar Kelley,
JAS. Lee and Andrew Smith, while
the Georgia was handled by her
owner, Capt. Charlie O. Commodore,
Mr.. w. III. Richardson, Griffin Ball
and Jos. Thomas. Both canoes are
fast sailers and their owners are
much noted for owning fast canoes
and horses. After the race match
game of base ball between the Molusk
and Litwalton teams was called. The
game was a fine one, both teams
playing well, but the Molusk boys

IN MEMORY

or our beloved little Edna Luttrell
who departed this life April 18th, 1902
aged years, 2 months and IL days.
She is dead but not forgotten.
In churchyard lone and drear,
In grave covered with flowers,
Sleeps the one we love so dear.
The little chair Is empty now.
The little toys laid by;
n mothers hope, a fathers ioy,
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
A precious one from us Is taken.
A voice we loved Is stilled,
place is vacant In that home
Which never can be filled.
Hour by hour l saw you fade
And slowly sink away;
Yet In my heart L often prayed
III Gods will thy life be spared.
Edna, how could we give you up.
You whom we loved so well?
How could we look in your dear face .
And say that word farewell?
How joyful is the hope that fingers.
when loved ones cross deaths sea,
mat we, when all earth's tolls are ended
With thee shall ever be.
No parting words shall e'er be spoken
In yonder home SO fair;
but songs of joy and peace and gladness
Wen sing forever there

Country and City Newspapers.

1t is common mistake to sup
pose that the difference between the
city and the country newspaper is
simply the difference of size, circu-
lation, frequency of issue or even of
environment. 1t is difference of
purpose, methods, character. The
two have little in common save that
both are printed on white paper with
black ink and are sold at so much a
copy. The city newspaper, with the
passing of great editors, has become
a machine owned by corporation
each employe a cog on the wheel,
the whole adjusted to the highest
money-producing capacity. The
country newspaper is an individual
with an individuals heart and Train
and conscience. It's editor is usually
its owner and the influence of The
countlng-room upon editorial policy
is minimized.-MsSour Editor.

proved to be too much for the Lit
walton team and the score stood II /,
3 in favor of Moldsk with one innins
to spare.
On the second day the crowt
was almost as large as that Of
the first. The wind was toe
strong to sail and Mr.. Weaver did
not think it would justify him tc
hire the band, consequently the
greatest attraction of the day was an
other match game of ball between
the same teams with. the exception
OF curve pitcher from Christfield,
Va. His balls proved too swift and
up-and-down and in -and-out for the
Aolusk boys and this time the score
stood 10 to 6 in favor of Litwalton.
The large crowds both days were very
orderly indeed. Everything of the
season to eatand drink Except strong
drink was sold on the grounds at
prices TO suit the times. | did not see
a single drunken person OIL the
grounds during my stay there, and
everybody seemed to enjoy them
selves Immensely. Thus ended one of
the most successful fairs Mr.. Weaver
u 20. ever held, but he promises
to excel thus one In the future when
he will add fine half mile race
track to his fair grounds. Mr.. Weaver
is very energetic and enterprizing
young man and deserves great credit
for his advancement socially and
financially.

A Recipe For a Kiss.

"To piece of dark piazza add a
little moonlight; take for granted two
people; press in two strong hands one
small, soft hand, sift light two ounces
of attraction, one ounce of romance
and a large measure of folly. Stir
In two foatry rufiles, add one or two
whispers, dissolve some half dozen
glances in we'll of silence, dust in
a small quantity of hesitation, one
ounce of resistance, two ounces of
yielding. Place the kiss on flushed
cheek or two lips, flavor with slight
scream and set aside to cool"
