GREENSBORO ENTERTAINED
THE STATE S. s. CONVEN-
TION ROYALTY.
Much Good VIII Result From
the Seed SOyn at the Con-
vention. New Officers
Were Elected.

The delegates to the State Sunday
School Convention at Greensboro,
this past week, have returned home
and report great convention and
that the good people Of that beauti-
ful and thriving city spared no pains
to make all who attended the con-
vention enjoy themselves.
The ladies of Greensboro provided
a beautiful silk banner TO be present
ed to the county which made the
best display Of maps and banners
and which had the best report of or
ganizatiOn Of the Sunday School
workers, and we are proud to say
that this banner was awarded to
Wayne, and Mr.. II. B. Parker, Jr.,
now has it on display in his law Of
fee.
Now it behooves every citizen to
go to work and try TO keep this token
of efficiency in our county and not
permit some other county to take it
away from Us. It will require a
great deal of hard work on the part
of every Sunday School worker in
the county to do this.
Hon. b. r. Lacy, Of Raleigh, was
elected to the office of President of
the Association.
Prof. S. M. Smith, of Raleigh, was
reelected General Secretary.
Miss Madd Reid was elected Office
Secretary.
A few thanges or rather additions
were made to the list of the Execu-
tive Committee.
The next place of meeting will be
in Raleigh on Tuesday before the
fourth Sunday of March, 1905.
We would like to give a synopsis
of the splendid addresses that were
made by the different speakers, but
space will not permit.
The importance Of the Home De-
partment and the Normal Or Teach
ers Training Work, was demonstrate
ed, and also the value of the Cradel
Roll in the Schools.
The music of the convention was
very fine, and much credit and
many thanks are due to the two
splendid fellows, Messrs. Tullar and
MerrIdith, of New York, publishers
of song books and other music, who
labored increasingly in this part Of
the work. They take back with
them to their homes the best wishes
of the entire convention.
Some of the delegates who attend

More deer are killed every year in
California by the mountain lions than
by the bullets of the hunters.
Next to the jaguar, the mountain
lion is the largest cat in the two Amer
icas, and he is the champion deer STAY
er Of the world. Within thirty or forty
miles of Los Angeles he catches the
fleet-foOted, graceful creatures and
wakes fat on the sweet flesh. He
knows no deer season other than all
the time
Wherever there is good deer coun-
try in California, or any other South
western state, there is the best place
to look for lions and that is one of the
reasons why the large herds of deer
are restless, seldom staying long in
one locality. There is nothing they
fear more than the sight or smell Of a
mountain lion. Not even the sudden
appearance of a hunter will so quick
ly drive them from a range of hills.
The lions method of hunting the
deer is not unlike that of the big cats
Of Africa and India in the pursuit of
the antelope and deer of those coun-
tries. Having found a spring or pool
where the desired game comes to wa
ter at nightfall, the lion selects an
overhanging limb or ledge of rock,
whence one leap will carry him to the
back or throat of his prey, and there
on he lays himself in perfect stiffness.
In the gathering dusk the imperfect
eye of the deer has little chance
against the hidden terror, and the
wind, usually his faithful ally, can
help him not at all, for the lion is far
too old a campaigner not to lie up wind
from the spring.
The deer comes. One leap from the
limb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and
powerful paws soon break the tender
neck
The stories that a California lion
can carry away a deer have abundant
proof. 1t was once the fortune Of a
hunter to follow the plain, broad trail
of the heavy pads for half mile, and
then come suddenly on the place where
the killer stopped to rest. There in
plain outline was the imprint of the
deer's body; but for that whole dis
lance the lion had carried it well up
and clear OF the ground.-Los Angeles

CLUB WOMEN IN A
CIGARETTE WARE ARE
Fashionable Members of Lon.
dOn's Clubs Oppose Move
to Stop Use of Tobacco.

LONDON. April 2. Two great
problems are dividing the women club
ties just now. These are silence and
cigarettes, and they are quite serious
questions, for the number Of club
women has increased wonderfully Of
late.
The desire for quietness and calm is
TO be met soon. according to the pros
pectus Of the Ladies' Atheneum club,
which has its organizing offices at the
Hyde Park hotel, and is hoping to Sc
cure fine mansion in PiccadilIy as its
clubhouse.
The Ladies Athenaeum club aims at
exclusiveness, and is being established
Tor women of culture associated with
art, literature, politics or music. Placid
existence in well-appointed rooms Is
to be kept in view, and several mem
bers of her majesty's household, some
political hOstesses and numerous wom-
en- Of distinction in art and literature
have Joined for that purpose.
Cigarette smoking is allowed and
pracuced In most of the best modern
Women's clubs, but on the other hand,
there is dead set against it on the
part OF the Ladies' Park club.
No smoking allowed except for gen.
tlemen guests, and no bridge playing
Tor money" runs the clubs most
prominent announcement, and the
management hope to rally to their
standard a strong body Of women who
are against the cigarette.
The secretary of one of the other
new clubs said yesterday, with some
ScOrn in her voice:
THE woman Of any position or Gull
ture at all who objects to women smok-
ing Is nowadays a very rare person
indeed. / could name a dozen or so of
the very decent women who don't
smoke, of course, but the women who
object are few and far between"
The scOrn in this, however, was as
nothing compared with the scOrn with
which prominent member of ladies'
club sent back a box of ladies' mild
cigarettes to her tradesman, saying:
Ladies cigarettes, indeed! The
idea! 1 want something with some
taste in 1T. Tell them to send a box
Of mems cigarettes. If you please"

"YOU'RE IT." SAID
CAT WITH TEN LIVES
Then McDOnough Spoiled Lots

Chase.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The we'll

the family of James McDonough at 444
West One Hundred and Twenty fifth
street last evening has more than its
allotted number Of lives. tom" entered
as the family were at dinner. Now, Mrs
McDonough has an aversion to cats.
That started the trouble. McDonough
took his place as the head Of the fam
lily and said "Shoo" The cat didn't
"shoo." and McDonough seized a poker.
Round and round the dining table they
raced, until McDOnough got dizzy, his
wife hysterical and the cat wild-eyed.
It's mad, I'm sure" screamed Mrs.
McDonough. Her husband seized a
chair. The cat wasn't there when the
chair struck the spot 1T ought to have
been In, and the chair splintered His
trusty wife was by his side with an
other chair. Again the cat wasn't
there. Again the chair spIintered.

dollars" walled the husband.
Never mind the chairs, James. Kill
the cat before it kills me-"
The cat crawled under the ice chest.
The ice chest weighs 200 pounds and
the Ice weighed fifty. McDonough
moved the ice chest. while his wife,
with stove poker on a chair that she
propelled dexterouslY, followed the ice
chest, waiting for the cat to appear 1t
didn't appear until the ice chest reach
ed the hall. Then it darted through
the chair legs in a manner that nearly
undid Mrs. McDonough. 1t ran to the
bedroom.
McDonOugh, somewhat excited, took
the poker and went at it again. It got
under the bedclothes. The poker ripped
the bedclothes to shreds, but not the
cat. McDonough took apart the bed.
His wife, from a chair, used one Stat
he another. Then, one by one, the nine
lives of poor Tom went out.
THANK heavens, James, l am saved"
cried Mrs. McDonough.
But not yet. That marvellous cat
opened one eye, then another. Then it
slid between the feet of the unpre-
pared Mrs McDonough With a Shrek
she ran from the fiat The cat looked
wild-eyed at James. Then James beat
an inglorius retreat. He ran as fast
as he could to the West One Hundred
and Twenty fifth street station.

cried.

DOnough to the scene. The cat had dis

MILLER, S. D., April 2-This town
boasts Of probably the only citizen in
the state who in 1852 Travelled through
this section as a soldier keeping a diary
Of every happening, which record he
still has. His was Company B, Sixth
Iowa cavalry, marching through Iowa
by way of Sioux City. Frank Myers,
the veteran referred to, tells Of the
country forty years ago as follows:
During the early summer of 1864
left Sioux City for the Yellowstone

Sully; crossed the Big Sioux six miles
west Of Sioux City; camped at Yer

stores and half dozen houses, the

of the Missouri river Just north Of
town we saw new houses and evidence

country. There were no houses except
close to the town-the settlers were
afraid Of Indians. Next camped at
Bon HOmme, a place Of eight or ten
log houses, located on a high rolling
prairie. There was no sign of civiIiza-
ton after this except the forts we
passed.
While in camp at Fort Pierre an
Indian named Crazy Dog afterwards

white girl in his possession whom he
had stolen from the hostile Indians.
who had taken her from New UIm,
Mimi, after numbering her people. Her
name was Luvina Ingles Crazy Dog
gave her to the officers, who sent her
to Sioux City, where she secured a
home in the family of DR.. Yeoman.
Crazy Dog was given his pick Of four
ponies as a reward for his humane act.
Fort Pierre was then only a trading
post belonging to the Northwestern
Fur company. After a brief stay there
we went twenty-five miles further up
and camped, but the Indians became
so aggressive that we returned to the
fort to wait for more ammunition"

CHINAMAN AND CAT
EXCITE PASSENGERS
orIentaPs Feline a Star Performer In
Street Car Comedy.

NEW YORK, April "A guileless
Monaghan with a "washes" bag and a
smile enacted a star role in q revised edi-
ton Of The Cat and the Cherub," which
was served for passengers on a Third
avenue surface car yesterday. The China
man boarded the car at Chatham Square.
and resting his burden on the floor near
his feet, kept a tight hand on the neck
of the bag and fixed his gaze on moth
ingness.
A mysterious cry presently aroused
every one but the gentleman of the pig
tail. Everybody looked at the woman
with the baby, but the infant was ap-
parently as much astOunded as the rest.
Then the Chnaman's bag bumped itself
into strange shapes, and from it's depths
came a yOwl That was sufficient for the
baby. With a yell he undertook to prove
that his lungs were equal to that of the
cat which it was now known was in the
bag
''St-st-st"' Kissed the Chinaman,
making threatening motions down the
mouth Of the bag
"MiaOu!' walled the cat. "Ah-h-h-h!"
bawled the baby in unison.
Don't you know" demanded a long
haired man holding a large cardboard box,
addressing the bland Oriental, that is
cruelty TO animals? You ought to take
that cat out and hold him in your arms
He is fiXin' to make chop suey to-
night" suggested the conductor. The
Chinaman's smile was inscrutable.
A fresh relay of passengers had hardly
settled in their seats than the chorus be-
gan again. A "miaou" pitched in an un-
usually insistent key brought fusillade
of angry glances on the man with the
cardboard box. With the imperturbability
of innocence he bore the inspection. It
was only when he disembarked at Tween
ty-third street, amid a prolonged salute
from the cat and the baby, that a fat
man. unable longer to stand the strain,
demanded: Where is that blamed cat,
anyhow? located him in that box, but
The waving pigtail of vanishing
Chfnaman and muffled ''miaou" We're the

The Ace of Hurry.

There is no backwater to which this
impetuous tide Of hurry has not pene-
trated; and if we try to find one wherein
we may lie in a punt on pink cushions
under a tree we are certain to be made
restless by the long single boot OF a
fussy steam launch or the short double
one Of a tearing motor car, and instead
of lying still we jump up and cry, ooh,
wait for me and take me! I'm in a
fearful hurry to get there and do 1t with
you!" And when we are taken in and
have recovered our breath and are well
on our way there to do it, We remember
to ask where we are bound for and what
we are going to do.-London Outlook.

Americans in Korea.

Americans have an electric street
railway in Seoul and a gold mine in
the north which employs fifty or sixty
foreigners and 1900 Koreans, and pays
into the imperial treasury an annual
royalty of S12,500. Americans should
have a special interest in Korea, as one
of our four small Asiatic wars was
with Korea a generation ago. For years
an American was foreign adviser to the
emperor, and 1 once heard an earnest
Korean arguing in favor of America
assuming a prOtectorate over his land.
But our chief contribution to Korea is
neither commercial nor political, but
moral and religious. There are about
100 American missionaries in the land,
with 10000 Observation-Disclosures Work.
