How to Be a Successful Stepmother.

How to Be a Successful Stepmother.
Few women who become the second
wife Of a man with a family realize
the great responsibility which they are
taking upon themselves; and it Is main
ly on this account that so many step
mothers fail in their duty to fill the
place Of the one whose position they
take in the household. There are great
difficulties in the way Of fulfilling the
position of second wife to a man and
second mother to his children, which
require more than an ordinary
tience to overcome, and any lack Of
these virtues is liable to cause much
dissension in a home.
The position Of a stepmother is by
no means an enviable one. One Of
the greatest tasks which she must set
herself to accomplish is to win the
love and respect Of another woman's
children, and in many cases this is an
extremely difficult matter. But, unless
she does this, stepmother Is bound
to be unpopular in home, and prob
ably be the cause Of much unhappi-
ness. It is not sufficient that step
mother should rely upon her husband
to secure that respect from his first
wife's children which is due to her.
She must show them that she has
their best interests at heart and Is
DESTROYS Of winning their love If they
will allow her to do so. There is al
ways certain feeling Of resentment
on the part of children against the one
who comes to take their mothers posi-
ton. To a certain extent it is only
natural that there should be, and it is
stepmothers duty to try and remove
that resentment by proving how much
she wishes to become a second mother
to them in every sense Of the term.
No action can be more mean on the
part Of a stepmother than to lavish
all her love and care on her own lit
tie ones while treating her stepchildren
with a cold indifference which creates
q dislike toward her and makes their
lives miserable Children are partic-
ularly sensitive regarding such mat
ter, and stepmothers would be far
more popular if they would only try
to treat the children Of their husbands
first wife as they would their own.
1t is, Of course, almost impossible
for a woman to love the children of
another woman in the same way that
she would love her own. But the step
mother who values the happiness of
her home will conceal, as far as pos
sible, all difference in her feelings to-
ward the children Of her husband, and
endeavor to make them feel that she
is a real mother to them all.
BY so doing she will also win still
greater love from her husband. Many
widowers do not marry second time
for love, but simply for the sake of
their children, who need a woman's
care. 1t is, more often than not,
marriage Of convenience, the man
choosing the woman whom he con-
siders will best fill the place Of mother
to his children. Otter he is grievously
disappointed But when he discovers
that his second wife is anxious to do
all in her power to win the love and
respect Of her stepchildren, and make
their lives as happy as possible, his
respect for her turns to true and sin
cere love-New York News.

According to feminine writer, the
work Of the woman's club is threefold
to educate its members mentally and
morally; to create public opinion; to
secure better conditions Of life. Its
worth, personal and social, is in pro-
portion to it's effectiveness in securing
these ends.
The Dowager Empress of China,
that lady Of most uncertain temper, is
magnificent in her taste and hates all
poor specimens of flowers. She is said
to constantly scold her gardeners be-
cause the colossal chrysanthemums
they raise do not appear to her to be
large enough and she has also ex-
pressed her displeasure that all trees
could not be made to produce flowers
and fruit simultaneously, as do or
anges and lemons.
Flower names have always been in
favor for girls, but at present the
names Of precious stones run them q
good second. Lord Edward Church
ills daughters are Ruby and Beryl;
there is Miss Pearl Finch, daughter of
Mr.. George Finch, Of Burley-on- the
Hill; Miss Frances Wolseley, only
child and heiress Of Lord Wolseley,
has also the name Of Garnet, and the
new Lady Hardinge, whose husband
has recently been appointed ambassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, owns beauti-
full baby called Diamond.
How the dainty, almond-eyed Jap
anese maiden manages to keep her sat
in skin and youthful contour on the
kin6 Of food she eats must be a mys-
terry to the beefsteak and potato, bread
and butter eating girl Of the Occident.
A cup of tea, accompanied by two lit
tie green plums, picked in vinegar,
then rolled in sugar, is the traditional
Japanese breakfast. Dinner is pref
aced by a number of queer appeizers
in the form Of stuffed prawn seaweed
with sauce, hashed sparrow and salt
sweetmeats. Dinner itself consists of
plain boiled rice mixed with a little
fish sauce. But what lot Of rice the
sweet Japanese girl can consume!

The directors of the State Fair viii
likely ask the strte legislature at it's
next session for 100000 The claim
will be based upon the TACT that the
State Fair is intended to benefit the
farming class of the people of the
State, and as there was surplus of
0,000 left over at Clemson from the
fertilizer tax last year, that the direc.
tors should be allowed to draw upon
that fund. II tho State Fair is run
in the interest of the farmers, then
the $4,000 should be allowed from
the fertilizer tax that now goes to
Clemson, for the farmers of the State
pay BhAt tax.

The most successful effort at ael

The most successful effort at aerial
navigation yet made came off in St.
Louis one day the past week The
air ship went to height of 1000 feet
and turned and came back and set
tied within 100 feet of the starting
point. But for an eight mile wind
that was blowing, it is claimed that
the air ship would have settled
on the very platform from which it
arose.

A GOOD SHOWING.

In o statement published by the
NewS and Courier few days ago, it
was shown that on the 1st day of last
July there was more than $50, ,000,.
900 on deposit in the 1876 banks in
corporated in South Carolina. Ibis
is q striking exhibit of the resources
and financial condition of the State
The State also gathers some very
interesting data from the bankers of
the state showing the condition Of
finances on Nov. l. The following
letter appeared in the State from
Pickens:
"Pickens, Nov l.
Gentlemen; Iu reply to yours of
18th, am glad to say that this section
of the county is in n prosperous con-
dition-farmers making good crops,
cotton, corn and hay. Cotton is
turning out nell, and is being rapid
ly gathered and sold and debts liqui-
dated. Cotton samples above the ay.
erage, and corn was never better.
Finest crops of hay ever produced in
this section (peavine and grass.
Prices satisfactory on AL farm pro.
ducts. Some complaints Of dow
water" Some wells have failed that
never failed before. "Dry and dusty"
is the cry. Resuectfully,
W. Il. McFall,
Pres. Bank OF Pickens.

Presidential Election.

Pickens had excellent election news
service last night Connection was
made with The Greenyille News
office, through tho Postal Telegraph.
Co, and dispatches came every 10 or
15 minutes
Pickens Drug Go. was headquar.
ters, and quite crowd assembled to
to hear the news IEe first message
came about 1880 and read, Baltimore,
Parker, 1904 Roosevelt, 4,416."
len minutes later bulletin came
from Greater New York, "Parker,
$4,000; Roosevelt, 7l,00O." It look
eel as if these wero merely stra ws,
showing which way the wind was
blowing, and the crowd began to
liven up, and quite a number felt
satisfied that Parker was ct" all tho
time, and SO expressed themselves.
Of course the eyes of all were
buIueSl 10 NOW IOIh. COOu mes
sage came, reading something like
this: "Roosevelt leads by 22S.OO0;
the election of Higgins, Republican,
conceded"
Immediately interest in the Presi-
Dental election began to wane, and
the crowd began to clamor for oval
ker Speegle' news from Greenville,
which was never received, though
numerous efforts were made to obtain
it.
"Parker carries solid South, 1856
electoral votes; Roosevelt recei,es
254 electoral votes"
1t just takes 239 votes to elect, SO
this last message sent the crowd
home to "Roosy" dreams, but they
didn't dream about "niggers,"
Of course it is possible that com
plete returns may change some Of
the states, but it seems to be settled
fact that Roosevelt is elected

And sets the thing to running right
AMI ticking with chime.
So bring your watches, new CT old,
Your watches, fast ur lazy,
Your watches made OF brass or gold
Your watches worn or crazy.
