canal could be built at Panama be
cause the president had said So"
Mr.. Morgan said President Roose-
welt had used his official position to
advance his personal views. One man
in the presidential Office might be able
to crush all opposition, but it remained
to be seen whether he could crush the
statutes of congress. The president
had appealed to party prejudice and
in doing SO showed strong symptoms
of heart failure. The revolution on

Our British cousins are said to
be slow-witted, but they some
times hit on good idea, as, for
example, the housekeeping de-
vice invented by a Londoner and
: described by Consul Mahin, of
Nottingham in recent report to
the State department. The de-
vice consist essentially of an air
pump which will pump air at a
rapid rate through tube flatten-
ed at the movable end. The
opening at the end OF the tube is,
in fact, long, narrow slit. When
it is rubbed over the carpet or up
and down the cloth covering of
settecs or chairs it quickly sucks
out all the dust, extracting it not
only from the surface but also
from the body of the substance
and from underneath 1.-THE I'M
derfelt being thus cleaned. Not
a particle of dust can be detected
if the carpet is then beaten. No
dust is then raised in a room; all
is, sucked through the hose into
the filter. In a similar way walls
may be cleaned of dust, the
cleaner being a brush of horse
shee shape, with an exhaust tube
in the centre. The machine may
be on wheels or stationary.

STAY ON THE FARM.

Farmers in many sections OF the
country are beginning to face the
usual serious proposition OF a
scarcity of help in the cultivating
and harvesting OF their crops.
Notwithstanding advertisements
are run in the papers daily asking
for hired help, the demand is
thrice the supply. Men who are
idle in the city seem to have no
desire to go to the farm and work,
regardless of the fact that a good
home, plenty to eat and reason
able pay awaits them. And a
majority of people lose sight of
the principal reason for this state
of affairs. The fault to a great
extent lies with the young farm
ers themselves. AS a rule as soon
as they attain their majority the
first thing they think Of is to rush
to the cities, where, in the minds
Of many Of them, money is plen-
tiful and a gay life awaits them.
This reduces the force on the
farms and in itself prevents young
men from the overcrowded cities
seeking homes in the country. 1t
is hardly to be expected that men
from the cities will take kindly to
farm life when young men who
have been reared as farmers rush
off to the cities. The remedy lies
with US. Let US make our home
life desirable to our young men.
Encourage them in their work and
offer them every inducement pos
sible. The labor of son is far
more profitable to the sire than
the labor of inexperienced
men from the city. And our
young men have better oppor-
tunity of making name by re-
naming at home and using indus
try and thrift than they have in
rushing of to the city and becom-
ing nonenity in a place where
there are ten men for every open
ing. The farm is the best place
after all.

No sleep for a Mortgage.

The mortgage is q self-supporting
institution. II always holds its own.
1t calls for just as many dollars
when grain is cheap as when grain is
dear. 1t is not drowned out by the
heavy rains. 1t never winter kills.
Late springs and early frosts never
trouble it. Potato bugs do not dis
turb it. 1t grows nights, Sundays,
rainy days and even holidays. 1t
brings sure crop every year and
sometimes twice year. 1t produces
cash every time. 1t does not have
to wait for the market to advance.
1t is not subject to speculations of
the bulls aud bears on the board of
trade. 1t is load that gals and
frets and chafes.
1t is a burden that the farmer can
not shake off. 1t is with him morn
ing, noon and night. 1t eats with
him at the table. 1t gets under his
pillow when he sleeps. 1t rides upon
his shoulders during the day. 1t
consumes his grain crop. 1t devours
his cattle. 1t selects the finest horses
and the fattest steers. 1t lives upon
the first fruit of the season. 1t stalks
into the dairy, where the busy house
wife tolls day after day and month
after month, and takes the incest
cheese and the choicest butter. 1t
shares the children's bread and robs
them of their clothes. 1t stoops the
toiler's back with its remorseless
burden of care. 1t hardens his
hands, benumbs his intellect, prema-
turely whitens his locks and often
times sends him and his aged wife
over the hills to the poor house. 1t
is the inexorable and exacting task
master. Ils whip is as merciless and
cruel as the lash of the slave driver.
1t is menace to liberty, a hindrance
to progress, curse to the world

The Old Squirrel Problem.

That old problem of the, squirrel
and the hunter going around the
tree in such way that the aforesaid
hunter can never get shot because
the aforesaid squirrel always keeps
the tree between himself and the gun,
seems TO have perennial freshness.
The hunter does not go around the
squirrel; if he did he could get a
shot. Both always keep in the same
straight line with respect to each
other. Their movements are just
the same as those of the end of g
spoke in a revolving wheel and a
point directly opposite on the other
side of the hub in this latter case
both go around the axle as hunter
and squirrel go around the tree, but
neither goes around the other.-Ex-
change.

[By a Former walhalla Girl

lBy Former Walhalla Girl,
How beautiful the rolling, rumbling,
river;
How musical its murmuring, glad song |;
How steadily it flows on, as IL ever
Intent on duty, as it goes along.
1t leaps the precipice with mighty
laughter,
Which vibrates 'mong the mountains
highest peaks,
And makes a lullaby for fierce young
eaglets
That nestle midst the rocks, blood on
their beaks.
1t wends its way through silent, deep,
dark forests,
Lone soy; valley grassy pen and fiowery
Through sweet fern brake and daisy
covered meadows,
Fulfilling its true mission through all
we'll.
1t onward goes, through busy, dusty
cities,
And turns their many massive wheels
of trade,
Until it mingles waters with tho ocean,
A long and useful journey having
made.
Oil to be like tho ceaseless, singing
river,
Do we'll my mission, and be ever
And when life mingles with eternity's
ocean,
Have done it's every duty with song.

The Cost Of a Good Road.

The Charlotte Observer says: A
friend of DR.. S. b. Jones asked to be
Informed of the cost of constructing
macadamized roads in this county.
DIR. Jones consulted Squire G. III.
Wolfe, who replied: 81 m It d. II.
Rich. He has had some experience
in constructing macadamized roads
and placed the cost at $2,25O per
mile. | also saw Mr.. @. A. Spratt,
who has considerable knowledge of
roads and he fixed the average cost
at $2,85O. Afterwards met Capt.
5. j. Stowe, who is now in charge of
the roads. He placed the cost at
$4,000 per mile. The cost depends
upon the amount of grading neces-
sary. Mr.. Stoves estimate was
taken from a rugged section of the
county, so you might safely place
the average of the 120 miles of mac
adam in Mecklenburg county at
