HUSBAND AND wIFE.


EBEN E. RExFoRD
She came to the room where her husband
Seemed taking peaceful rest,
With his old hands clasped together
In slumber on his breast.
And she knelt down by the bedside,
And laid her poor, old head
Close down by his. on the pillow,
And whispered to the dead
'.It's only little while, Daniel,
Since you died, but, dear, to me,
1t seems like years since you told me
It had grown too dark to see,
And asked me to come and kiss you
And hold you by the hand,
As you started on your journey
To find a Better Land.
s.Have you found it2 Tell me, Daniel,
Speak to your poor, old wife,
Why should we two be parted
In the last days of our life?
Oh if they'd take me, too, dear,
1 want to lay by your side,
For there's nothing left to live for
Since my. good man has died.
esYou do not answer me. Daniel,
1t can't be that you know
That your old wife talking to you,
Dying has changed you so.
There seems such a distance between us
Oh, Daniel, it breaks my heart
To think you've left me behind you,
And we are so far apart.
GIVE brought the old Bible, Daniel,
You gave me when we were wed
Never day since our marriage
But there's been chapter read.
In times of peace and gladness,
And times of tears and pain,
We've read it.together, Daniel,
AS we never will read it again.
you've no need of it now, dear heart,
But where else shall find
The comfort and strength that's needed
By. thesold heart left behind.
Do you remember, Daniel,
When our first little baby died,
How you read it after the fun raj,
And 1 sat at your feet and cried?
ST remember the chapter, Daniel,
1t was where the Savior said,
Blessed are they that sorrow
For they shall be comforted'
Oh, my arms and my heart seemed empty,
1 missed the baby so.
Have you found the little one, Daniel?
Tell me. II want to know.
.ob, go to the dear Lord, Daniel?
And ask him to let me come;
Tell him your old wife's lonely,
And longs to follow you home
1 want to be with you, Daniel
want to hold fast to your hand,
Tell the dear Lord about it,
And He will understand

Wolves are causing much trouble
in Oklahoma to farmers and many
wolf hunts have been organized to
exterminate them. The wolves kill
young stock and are more or less
a menace to life.

Mothers are often worried as to
what the cries of their infants
mean when they seem to be sick
or in pain and frequently are apt
to diagnose the case wrongfully.
AS matter of fact, when an infant
is dangerously ill it seldom cries,
80 that when it begins to CRY q
great deal during severe illness it
is usually sign of amendment.
When ohild suffers from inhama-
ton of the lungs it means. but
rarely cries When suffering from
bronchitis the CRY is gruff and
rattling. When suffering from
Group the ory is sharp and fretful.
When hungry it is fretful and

Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1904-06-02

The Kansas City Star tells the
story Of a church congregation that
has asked it's pastor to resign because
he is too literary. It says:
especially, he is charged with
quoting more from Shakespeare than
from the Bible. The members of
the church say that they aren't up
on Shakespeare, and that, anyway,
they prefer the Bible from the pulpit.
Last Sunday, in a prolonged quota
ton from Macbeth an aged woman
thought she detected profanity and
left the church. AS a result, the pre-
siding elder is trying to arrange for
a transfer of the Shakespearean pas
tor to Wilmington, Del, where it is
all the same to the people whether
their preachers talk about Jonah or
Hamlet. Meanwhile there is so little
old-fashioned religion left in the
world that it is scarcely worth while
to make any fuss about what there
ISL
While the above is written in a
humorous strain, it nevertheless con-
tains some pointed facts, and fur
nishes food for serious reflection.
There is. no doubt but that the plain,
old-fashioned way of preaching the
gospel is being pushed aside, and
the good, old-fashioned seasons of
heart-rejoicings at meeting is cor
respondingly decreased.
Goldsboro is free from literary
preachers. Our ministers, as we took
occasion to say a few days ago, are
equal to any to be found anywhere,
and they preach sermons of force;
plain, pointed, practical sermons
the kind that causes a mar to ex-
anime himself and learn where he
stands before his Maker-and they
use the Bible, not Shakespeare, from
which to draw conclusions.
Surely our people appreciate liter
airy genius, but not at a Sunday SER
vice in the church when they go to
worship God.

WHY NOT

A rather surprising note Of protest
IS heard in some quarters of Repub-
Iicanisnn against the suggestion that
President Roosevelt may select his
bosom friend, Congress sman Lucius
n. Littauer, as secretary of COM
merce and labor to succeed Secretary
Cortelyou. Certain administration Or
gans are, metaphorically, hosting
high their hands in holy horror, and
declaring that the suggestion must
be the work of wicked Democrats.
But why not Littauer? Certainly
he is one of the best possible repre-
sentatives Of the commercialism
which controls the Republican party
these days. True, it has been shown
he used his place as a member OF
congress to secure for himself and
his associates certain fat glove con.
tracts from the government, but q
little thing like that certainly should
not act as bar to political favor atthe
hands of the Republican party. Lit
tauer has succeeded in having him
self renominated for congress. Isn't
that answer enough to his wicked
critics?
If Littauer wants the job, and he
does, why shouldn't he have it:
Then, too, his selection would be the
best possible v~indication of the stat
ute of limitations-and many emf
nent Republicans are interested in
that.

Premature Discharge Of Cannon
at Oxford.

Oxford, n. c., May 26.-The ex-
ercises of Horner's commencement
this afternoon were very interesting.
The review of the two companies by
Genral Register and staff, mounted,
was very fine. The sham battle was
reviewed by a large crowd, when
quite an unfortunate accident occur
red, causing the wOundihg of ou1
chief of police, Mr.. S. w. Wheeler.
The Granville Grays were behind
breastworks in an improvised fort.
Mr.. Wheeler, who is a member OF
Granville Grays, was loading the
cannon that became heated once, and
in loading it from the muzzle the
charge ignited and went off unex-
pectedly, the hammer going through
his hands in such force as to shatte1
the hammer, inficting severe wounds
of the hands and arms, besides burn
ing his face and neck. While the
wounds are painful, they are not
considered serious. Medical aid was
rendered at once by Drs. T. L. Booth
and Daniels, and the patient was
taken comfortably to his home in a
carriage.

GAS PLANT TALKED OF.
The Board of Aldermen Will
Be Asked to Grant Franchise
For a Plant.
For a Plant.


In a few days a proposition will
be made to the Board Of Aldermen
for a franchise for a gas plant for
Goldsboro. This is a matter in
which all Of our people feel a deep
interest. In this day of scarcity and
uncertainty of cooks, q gas stove in
the house would be a great convent
ence to housekeepers. Simply light
the gas, and in two or three minutes
the stove is hot and ready for cook
ing. while there is no smoke, no
wood to bother with and no ashes,
thus relieving the work Of a large
part of the drudgery.
Furthermore, thereare many other
ways in which gas can be utilized.
A gas plant would mean a great
deal for the city. People from the
North and West are looking fol-
homes in the South, and the place
which offers superior inducements
will be the ones to have the increase
in population.
we can make Goldsboro a big city
81 we will. The ARGUS, therefore,
is Glad that there is a probability O.
onother important factor in the de
velopment of Goldsboro.

CHIEF ENGINEER
OF PANAMA CANAL
John +. Wallace to Have Charge OF
Construction of Waterway.
HIS SALARY $4,000 A YEAR

Washington. May II. Admirai
Walker, president of the Panama canal
commission. has received telegram
from John Findlcy Wallace. of Chi
caSo. general manager of the Illinois
Central railroad. accepting the appoint
ment of chief engineer in charge of the
construction OF the canal Mr. Wal
lace will receive a salary of $25 1000 a
year
MIR. Wallace has been considered
for some time by members of the canal
commission for the position of chief en-
eineer." said Admiral Walker No one
stands higher in his profession or is
better equipped TO take up the work
mapped ont than ne. and the commits
sion is to he congratulated on securing
the services of such man."
Mr. Wallace will take up his work
with the commission on June l. He
will arrive in Washington on or before
that date. and for the present will have
his Office at the headquarters of the
commission in this city. It has not
been determined when he will visit the
isthmus. all matters of detail being
left for future conference with the
comrv sion.
In regard Ia the salary to be paid
Mr.. Wallace. Admiral Walker said that
when a man undertakes to direct the
construction of the Panama canal pro-
ject it is necessary for him to burn his
ships behind him. and that $4,000 is
not too high for man competent for
so important n trust. Whoever under
takes that task gives up his business
in this country. for il will require all
his time on the isthmus for an indefi-
mite period" said the admiral.
During the recent trip of the Panama
canal commissioners to the isthmus
one of the subjects of discussion was
the appointment Of the chief engineer.
II was agreed by every one that the
man selected must possess exceptional
qualifications. must be not only an en-
gineer. but an administrator and ex-
ecutive. must have mature Judgment.
and yet energy of accomplishment:
must be well known and favOrably
known. as very great measure of the
success of the commission would de-
pend on the chief engineer
While the commission was at sea on
the way to the isthmus. a letter was
written TO Mr.. Wallace asking him to
meet the members in New York on
their return and talk the matter over.
President Fish. OF the Illinois Central.
was very unwilling to have Mr. Wal
lace leave the service of the company,
but the appointment having been ten
dered. left the decision entirely with
Mr.. Wallace himself. In reaching the
conclusion to accept Mr.. Wallace gave
up his prospects Of promotion and a
much higher salary than $25.000 year.
but by taking the position of chief en-
sineer of the Panama canal his name
will be attached to the greatest piece
of construction ever undertaken.
II is estimated that about two years
will be required To complete the sur
veys. make the estimates of cost and
decide on the final plans. In round
figures the canal will cost 5000. .000. 900.
and will require 10 years to complete.
Aside from the engineers. machinists
and other skilled labor. the construc-
tive work will give employment TO
80, 900 men.
