A STORY OF THE STREET
How the Newsboy. Set Up in Business

'I chanced to be walking down Lib erty street. said well known artist. when the recent hurricane scocped his stock of evening papers from under a wee and wan S-year-old newsboy's $ arm. made q free distribution of them in the mud and rain half block away and came near serving him in like man ner. As he fought his way to his feet I heard him tersely summarize the ev- tent of the ruin in the remark, Dat busts me- and he heard me laugh.
 Turning on me and assuming a sug- gestive Terrible Terry pose, he savage ly asked, 'Wot yer lafiin' at?'
 '' Not at you, my boy I hastened to explain, and here's d half dollar to art you in business again.

COOL SUMMER AND BUSINESS.

A well known Philadelphia business man says that the ordinary observer does not stop to consider what q cCol summer means to the entire business community. Said he: It affects ev- erything that depends upon trade for life. I have no doubt that the present slump in stocks is due in part to the cool summer, which has made the crops so uncertain. Let us start with the farmer. He has had peer luck with his corn, melons and all kinds of truck The merchants who sell summer cloth ing and all kinds of seasonable wear have hardly paid expenses; every sea- shore resort has been running light and will lose heavily unless .A-s,dst pulls them out This means so much money lost from circulation and all the mechanical trades and industries must suffer. Cl course. nc one is to blame and the only thing to do is to live and let live until a real hot summer comes to push things along again"

The Mirror of Lite.

We oil Of us live in glass houses
Only the glass is not transparent !;
it is silvered, rather, and all about
us are reflections of ourselves. We
cannot always see ourselves as 9TH
ers see us, but we can always see
ourselves as we see others. Every
human being has something to
tell us about ourselves. This
mans weakness shows us where
our danger lies. This others
genius for art or poetry wakens
our hearts, and we say, ri too
could be painter, or poet" So
the proverb says, "As in water
face answereth to face, SO the
heart of man to man." This is why
history is the most interesting and
biography the most influential
reading. And this is why God
perfected his love to US in that
he sent his word, not only in tab
les of stone, not only in written
laws, but finally ard supremely
in the life Of Jesus Christ, that
we, seeing him, might say, .rThis
is the life | was meant to have, the
kind of manhood mine was mean t
to bo." So 1--WE all. ;. beholding
as in q mirror the glory of the
Lord, are transformed into the
glory Of the Lord, are transformed
into the same image from glory to
glory.

Dear Sir: "a fter5 rayelingf over Yer
Marlboro county and surveying its
fertile fields, and to note the pros
pect for another crop, I am aston
ished. The farmers in your coun-
ty are already preparing their lands,
outing stalks and going ahead.
No wonder Marlboro is considered
she garden spot Of the old Palmetto
State. tell you after seeing your
comfy aud coming here it looks
like the people i'll this country
would perish. There is nothing
doing towards farlning ut all, aud
how the farmers make living is
more than I can see. The land is
fertile enough, but it is only patch
here and there. But, Gastonia is d
fine business place. It,has about ten
factories aud between five and six
thousand inhabitants. II find some
beautiful store buildings here.
I also find Mr.. P. G. Snyder
here. He is a former merchant Of
Gibson, N. G. Mr.. Snyder carries
one of the largest stock of goods in
this place, and he is doing fine
business and is much liked here.
Mr.. Randolph Odom, one of
Marlboro's best men, is here en-
gagged i'll tho oil-mill business. Mr..
Odom is d fine, hustling salesman,
and his wife, Nee Miss Lena Smith
is head sales-lady at j. Il. Y eager's
Ladies Store. Mrs. Odom is one
Of the finest sales-ladies and stock
keepers we have ever seen south.
Mrs. Gdom is from one Of the old
est, wealthiest, and most aristocratic
families old Spartanburg, S. c.,
ever had.
Mr.. Editor I have told you
about all I have seen since I left
Marlboro, except the pretty girls,
and The streets are full Of them,
going to and from Sunday School
Us the Main st. M. g., has theirs
i'll the evening. I would like to
tell yau who the pretticst here is,
but / know she would not like it.
But, she is the pretticst, most grace
full. and in fact. the most charminp
girl ] have ever seen. Her father
is q Marlboro man and her mother
is Spartanburg lady.
I hope you will pardon ME for
writing this but I have nothing
better to do than to express myself
to you sitting around a boarding
house, Sunday afternoon.

IS How she acquired It 1t does not really
matter possibly by teaching school
painting flre screens or washing. Any.
way when she found herself In posses.
sion Of the sum she set about to sec
what she could do with It.
Certain amiabfe friends told her ii
would be very nice to buy some new
dresses, hats. gloves. shoes and such,
But she had full assortment and
didn't require anything Of the sort. An
aunt told her to invest 1t In q certain
telegraph stock thpt would bring In
good interest. So
but wnnt my hundred dollars nil

Poor foolish dear, it will ali bo

Interest just the same. I know where
you can draw-why, 6 per cent"
What? That ia only SO n yenr,
Six dollars is awfully small by the
side of this. I'm going to count 1t
again. Maybe some Of It Is gone"
The very thought of such a thing mado
the little creature chatter. Dor the
tenth time that day she sat down and
counted the talismanic roll Of bills-
four twenties. one ten and two flyes.
1t was all right, and her pulse re-
snmed Its normal beat. Suddenly she
gave n little Shrek of delight and
Jumped up and cried:
81 know just what shall do! I'll

call"-'s
"Child, what-arc you talking about 2?
Talking about finance, auntie. I'm
going to mnke this stingy little roll into
big one. 1t doesn't show Off at ali."
"You are queer, dear"
I'm going to get 1t all in five dollar
bills. I think the pictures on the fiyes
are ever SO much prettier." Life seemed
more rosy after the delightful creature
possessed twenty nice, crisp flyers. She
counted and recounted them when an
other fancy came.
I'm tired looking Mt these common
bills They don't Jingle and ring. I'm
going to get five nice. clean, new twen-
ty dollar goldpieces." No sooner was
1t said than done. The table rang for
two days rs she tossed the bright yell
low Pieces about like jack stones. Even
then she wasn't quite happy. The lit
tie pile of twenty dollar yellow boys
looked SO small. Then she secuted
about and got together 100 silver dol
lars. She polished every one daily and
played with them. Next she got 200
fifty cent pieces. But life was still IN
aching void. She at last owned $1oO
III twenty-five cent coins. Surely she
must be satisfied now. But. no; she
broke into one Of the quarters, felt dis
couragcd after TINT and was quite un-
like her old self until she found one
little nickel left, the very last coin Of
the hundred dollars that had caused
her SO much trouble. - Philadelphia
