judged you" He was treating her al
most as If she were a child.
II fear, Master Brandon, you are the
most adroit fatterer of ALL" said Mary,

him with side glance. "People have

Brandon wisely let the last sugges-

They were growing rather serious, 80
Mary turned the conversation again
into the laughing mood and said. with
i half sigh: "Oh, hope you are right
about the possibilities for good. but
you do not know. Wait until you have
seen irore Of me-"
II certainly hope I shall not have

The surprised eyes again glanced
quickly up to the serious face, but the
answer came: "That you shall not. But
here is the queen, and I suppose we
must have the benediction." Brandon
understood her hint, that the preaching
was over, and. taking it for his dismiss

Expression Announces Whether q
Man Is Short In Accounts or Not.
How the fellow looks who loses or
wins a bet on a race horse Is an old
subject, and yet 1t Is ever new" said
the observant man. For within my
own limited range Of observations 1
have noticed differences more or less
striking in the cases of men who were
manifestly passing through the same
kind Of emotion. It may be said OF
pool rooms that there Is the winning
and the losing look, and yet these
looks are as widely different as 1t Is
possible for the dissimilarities Of the
human countenance to make them. 1t
is easy enough to tell from the look
of a mans face whether he has won
or lost. But the degree and nature
of the winning or the loss Is quite q
different matter. Here Is where the
interesting part Of my observation
comes in. One mans winning or loss
may mean much or little to him.
Whatever 1t means, and whatever the
result of the race, it may be found In
the way he looks and the way he acts
when the man at the instrument calls
out the result. Even by the way he
listens to the calls one may detect
somewhat of the significance of the
event to him. If the result is large
in it's consequences one may tell 1t
by the desperate look which his race
wears pending the result or the nerV-
BUSINESS he displays when tearing up
the losing ticket, or the inexpresslDle
brightness which shines In his face
when he rushes up to cash In the bet
he has made, in the event Of success.
Let me observe a mans conduct In
the pool room and I will tell you nine
times out of ten whether his accounts
are straight or not. OF course, there
are exceptions to the rule, but no mis-
take will be made on the basis I have
suggested-nine times out of ten.'-

Coins WHICH HAD THEIR Day
Recent mention Of the disappearance Of
the $3.50 gold piece from circulation
and the premium this coin commands
as a curio has set many to rummaSing
in old pocketbooks and the bottoms
of cash boxes and drawers in search
of odd or out of date coins. Some have
found a $3.50 piece. but not many. The
SO piece, once quite common, but al
ways a sort Of curiosity, Is oftener
found, and many have specimens Of the
little gold coins representing 70 cents
and so cents, which were not minteo
nv the government and probably have
not so much gold in them as they rep
resent. They used to pass as coin, but
were never in general circulation. pe-
ing so easily lost that they soon be-
came scarce. One of the handsomest
coin relics seen is SO gold piece bear
ing the mint stamp of 1899. 1t Is larg-
er than the present SO piece. The
owner has it hung in band and wears
it as a charm on his watch chain. The
owner says he refused an offer OF Sl5O
for this relic. The old octagonal $50
pieces were quite common in California
in early days, when gold dust was
largely used as a circulating medium.
They were made of pure gold, and
while they had not the elegant finish
of the gold coins minted by the govern
ment in these days, many still remem-
ber them as the handsomest coins they
ever saw. Many people now would
consider them handsome on account of
the $50 in them.-Portland Oregonian.

day and moment kept hers. 1t seemed
that my love, or what l supposed was
love, left my heart at once, frozen in
the cold CLINT Of her eyes as she smiled
upon my first avowal, somewhat as dis
ease may leave the sickened body upon
a great shock. And in its place came
the restful flame of a friends love.
which so softly warns without burning.
But the burning! There is nothing In
life worth having compared with 1t for
all its pains and agonies. Is there?

continued the princess, there IS Lady
Jane Bolingbroke. who is beautiful and
good and admires you and, think.

not hope for such happiness.
You see, l had begun to make love to
Jane almost before was off my knees
to Mary, and therefore had not been
much hurt in Mary's case. I had suf-
fered merely touch Of the general cpl
demic, not the lingering, chronic disease
that kills.
Then I knew that the best cure for
the sting which lies in luckless love
is to love elsewhere, and Jane, as she
stood there, SO petite, so blushing/ and
so fair, struck ME as quite the most
pleasing antidote 1 could possibly find,
so began at once to administer to my
self the delightful counter irritant. It
was happy thought for me, one Of
those which come to man now and
then and for which he thanks his wits
in every hour Of his after life.
But the winning Of Jane was not so
easy q matter as my vanity had
prompted me to think. l started with
a handicap, since Jane had heard my
declaration to Mary, and had to undo
all that before l could do anything
else. Try the same thing yourself with

 Professor Bruce began by referring to the past condition of the negro race. He said that forty years ago. 1t was impos- sible for this race to gather together in meeting of this kind. He paid a graud tdibute to Mir. R. o. Simpson for the unselfish spirit he has shown for humant- ty, this being exemplified by the interest Institute.
 Sueaking of the transition Of the old South into the new. he said T emphasize work, that there Is no civilized agent so great as work. For two hundred and fifty years we were bound down in ser vitude and learned to work. But now we have the habits of industry.
 The material side Is very important in that we have no property and no people are truly great who have no property"
 Bruce spoke very encouragingly of the agricultural possibilities of the South ad- vising the colored people to stick to the
 In speaking of the people leaving the country and the farms to seek employ ment in the city, he advised the colored people to remain in the country. The death rate. said he. in the city is far greater than in country among the color ed people. As the negroes who leave the country have not been industrially trained. they can not obtain work of a mechanical nature.
 He made an earnest plea for the boys and girls of the negro race to not only stay in the country. but remain in the South and east down their buckets where they are." He said that in the North trade unions operate to keep the negro from honest living.
 No such things exist in the South.
 The speaker closed with an eloquent plea to the boys and girls who leave school to carry with them the idea of Hampton. Tuskegee and Snow Hill, the idea of skilful work.
 The certificates and deplomas were pre- sented by MT. R. O. Simpson, Snow Hill, Ala, president of the Board of Trustees
