A MORNING TONIC.
CDR. Hufham at Charlotte

AS we grow older the future life presses
Upon us and seems more near and real.
We preachers make many mistakes and
among them is that of not knowing how
people yearn to have us talk to them
about the other world. Just a little
while ago 1 was talking with woman
who had been a dear friend of nv youth
was bent on going over the "reminiscences
of the days long past and she would con-
stantly interrupt me to ask what
thought of the world to come. 1 shall
never forget the appeal Of those earnest
eyes, soon to be closed to the scenes of
earth, as she put her questions to me-

THE WOES OF ALBRIGHT.
And the Tough Nut the Sheriff Of
Surry Has to Crack.
Especial to News and observer.)

Winston-Salem, N. c., Dec. 31.-Post-
master Albright, of Mt. Airy, is having
other trouble besides the fight being
made against his confirmation by the
United States Senate. His predecessor
Mr.. Marshall went out of office leavins
a balance on the office fixtures put IN
by the retiring postmaster. The new IN
cumbent took possession and is using the
same. Parties holding papers took judg-
ment, and the Sheriff of Surry was or
dered to seize the property and execute.
This the sheriff hesitated to do, as the
lock boxes, safe, etc, contain United
States mail and the consequences might
get the worthy sheriff into deep water.
The sheriff has been advised that he had
better get instruction from the Postoffice
Department at Washington before he
makes a seizure, and this he has decided
to do.

will wish them success in a better business.

KOREA by Angus Hamilton. Illustrated.
Price $3.50. Publishers: Charles Scrib-
ners' Sons, New York.
Korea? Where is Korea? Do you
SMELL it with &C" or a 'K?" That is
the question that many men OF intelligence
have asked themselves now that Korea
has suddenly become the most talked
about place on the face of the globe. 1t
is the theatre upon which the Japanese
Russian War is to be fought and its pos
session is Russias coveted goal. Russia
has no port on the Pacific that is not ice
bound. If it can control Manchuria by
occupancy it is only question of little
time when it can likewise control Korea.
The day it controls Korea, the island
Kingdom is at the mercy of the Bear.
While Korea is an independent nation,
Japan exercises such influence there as to
prevent Russias getting a foothold. 1t
has almost fallen into Japan's lap. Its
possession or virtual control, or independ
ence OF Russia is essential to JapanS pow
er. The people are of he same general
type as the Japanese, though lacking the
intelligence, capacity for self government,
and military power. They may in some
respects. be likened to the Japanese a cen
fury ago, but they came from the same
original stock, and are in accord gener-
ally with Japanese views. The govern
ment of Korea is powerless to prevent
either the advance of Russia or the steady
spread of Japanese influence il it had such
desire. She has neither army nor navy,
and cannot raise her voice in her own be-
bali. The few soldiers who compose the
army are armed with obsolete guns and
they lack the qualities OF courage and
discipline. AS moment OF emergency
they would become utterly demoraliZed.
Korea is the helpless, hapless sport OF
Japanese caprice or Russian lust, and the
author has very Interestingly presented
an impartial study of the condition of the
country in the pages of this volume. He
has travelled all over the country, speaks
its language. knows its people well and
writes out of the actual knowledge to give
an accurate description and just estimate.
The London Academy well says: 1T is
timely book, well-considered. matured,
and informing work by a man who knows
the country from end to end and can put
pictures on paper with consummate ease
The New York Tribune says: "He has
written a good book and published it just
at the right moment" The Philadelphia
Press says: "An absolutely up-to-date
description of Korea and it's people," The
New York Sun says: GA singularly use
full as well as timely book The New
York Herald says: Invaluable to the
students of the present war; full of in
formation and interest"
Every one who wishes to study the war
between Russia and Japan should buy this
book 1t is charmingly written,-not a
touch of guide-book dizziness from start to
finish-by a writer whose style is delight
full. 1t is fully illustrated with informing
pictures, and is printed in large clear
type upon fine paper. The Oldest person
can read it with no strain upon the, eyes.
The youngest boy will find it Accordingly
interesting.

The ever-discussed question of labor
unions is presented in a new phase in the
March Atlantic, where Professor William
z. Ripley, of Harvard University. writes
of Grace Factors in Labor Unions" Pro-
fessor Ripley, who is the author of the
well-known work on ''The Races of Eu-
rope" has been making an exhaustive
study of the racial composition of the
labor unions of this country, and of the
part played by the various race factors in
the organization. His account of the re-
suits of his study is both entertaining and
instructive. His conclusion. that the hope
for the greatest efficiency of labor unions
in the future is to be found only in the
supremacy of the American workman, will
interest many, and his keen statement of
the actual obligations of the American
born craftsman will prove stimulating.

A conspicuous instance of the growing
tendency among magazine publishers to
give to an attractive table of contents an
appropriate cover, is displayed in Ainslee' s
Magazine for April. From purely artistic
point of view. it is one of the most strik-
ing concessions to the growing public
taste in this direction that has yet ap-
peared, and is likely to make something
of sensation. 1t is designed by A. B.
Henzell who decorated the beautiful New
Amsterdam Theater in New York. and is
coming to be recognized as one of the
leading decorators of the United States.
The publishers announce that the May
cover will be by Alphonse Mucha, of
Paris.

THE APRIL SMART SET.

There are forty-eight signed contribu-
lions in the April Smart Set. and the
fiction touches almost every theme. The
novelette, with which the number opens
is by far the most distinctive long story
this magazine has published. 1t is called
the Notorious Sir Charles Gratwicke, y
and is written by the Baroness Won Hut
ten, whose recent novels have revealed
such wide knowledge of the world and
such keen insight into human nature. The
present story. the scene of which is laid
in one of the picturesque inns of Switzer-
land. is as dramatic a piece of work as
the author has ever written. The inter
est never flags, and the reader is carried
from one breathless situation to another.

THOMAS MAST.

In the April Pearson's appears the
first of the Mast papers, by Mr.. Albert
Bigelow Paine. that have been so eagerly
looked forward to by the many friends of
Mr.. Mast and of Mr.. Paine. Thomas Mast
was unquestionably one of the greatest
cartoonists the world has ever known. and
the world-the American world in parti-
cular-is prone to forget. yet the infiu-
enee of his cartoons in moulding public
opinion in many of the most vital muni-
cipal and national crises is something that
cannot be readily forgotten. His contri-
buttons to the New York papers in their
struggle against the corruption of the
Tweed Ring would alone have made him
remembered. Mr.. Paine was personal
friend of Mr.. Mast, and in addition to his
intimate knowledge of Mr.. Mast, has ac-
cess to all of his sketch and scrap books,
which contain clippings, notes and mem
oranda that tell not only his personal
history, but also much of the history of
our country during nearly half century
These papers of Mr.. Paine's are illus
trated with reproductions from Nasts
sketches, many of them hitherto unpub-
lished. They will form an unusually
valuable historical series.

arc not allowed to ride on it; Mr.. Gerrare
had to disguise himself as a Russian, cross

been on this road, and its existence came
to be known through Mr.. Gerrarcs book.

RICHARD wHITE1NG ON THE NOVEL

With Richard Whiteing's ''The Yellow
Van listed among the books in steady
and popular demand at public libraries
and in the bookstores, the authors views
on the province of the novel take on
fresh interest. At a recent English lit
erary club dinner, Mr.. Whiteing is quoted
as having said:
THE novel performs a service to society
analogous to that of light cavalry. 1t goes
forward, sees everything, does not probe
ALL but shows how a thing is affecting the
hearts and minds of simple men and wo-
men, and what they are thinking about.
Once this Is put before the people, they
are on their way to reform"
