Greensboro, n. c., Dec. 10.-Near
Whitsett yesterday, Banks Stuart. col
ored, was instantly killed, while hunt
ing squirrels. He and John Mobiles
both colored. found a squirrel up a
tree. but could not dislodge him, after
killing him. John undertook to climb
the tree and Banks aided him to
reach the first limb by boosting him
with his gun. He was showing him
with the butt of the gun, the muzzle
resting on Banks stomach. BY some
means, John slipped back, his toes
touching the trigger, the gun went
off, and the whole load went into
Stuart's stomach, killing him.

That a given occupation Is pursued
for sport and no longer as a means OF
livelihood does not necessarily with
draw it from the category of things
useful for training. The natural boys
pursuit of frogs, birds and woodchucks
is a survival of habit indispensable
to primitive man. Hunting and fish
ing were the most necessary means
of livelihood for savages. They are
pursued now as sports as well as for
livelihood, and there is good training
in them when practiced merely as
sports. They teach civilized man alert
ness, accuracy of observation, quick
ness of action. endurance and patience,
just as they developed these valuable
qualities in generations of savages,
who never knew what humanism, al
truism and idealism were. The justifi
cation of unproductive athletic sports,
like ball games, races of all sorts and
dancing, lies in the facts that they de-
velop in civilized man some of the in
valuable qualities which hunting and
fishing developed in savages and that
they recreate and revive in people who
lead the unnatural life of civilization
the power for useful work. They also
defend young people against laziness
and vice by affording pleasurable activ-
tiles and innocent gladness.-President
Charles w. Eliot in Atlantic.

In spite of their historic solidarity, In
spite of the powerful and binding in
fluence of their common womanhood
and in spite of all the thoughts and
feelings in which they share, l doubt
whether such thing as friendship in
its very highest sense can ever exist
between two women for the essential
elements of friendship are unhesitating
confidence and answering loyalty, and
these are precisely the two things which
can never by any possibility be given
by one woman to another.
Honor, in the mans understanding OF
this word, is something that has no ex-
istence in a womans nature. While
she loves and while she cares, she will
be loyal with a loyalty that neither
suffering nor disgrace nor death itself
can shake, but that higher loyalty
which is faithful even to those who
wrong tin this no woman has a
share.-Rafford Pyke in Cosmopolitan.

durable, yet in his present contentment
he cared little for that.
Suddenly there was a Jolt of set
brakes, then a crash, a moment of sus-
pense in which he saw an agonized face
opposite his, and then darkness. When
he came to himself he was lying on his
side beneath a pile of debris. Car
chairs and broken boards were piled
above him. Close to him he saw her
white face, with disheveled hair and
wide open eyes.
Emily" he cried, "are you hurt?"
NO" she said slowly, Il think not.
But l can't move. I'm pinned down.
Are you hurt?'
NO" he said; mot at all"
He struggled fiQrcely to free himself,
but it was useless, and a terrible pain
in his left leg made him smother a
groan.
"We're quite helpless he said. but
keep your courage up. They'll have US
out of here in a Bit
I'm not afraid" she said. But you
are hurt. l know by your face. It's
very white"
He said nothing, but began another
struggle for freedom, enraged at his
own helplesSness. Outside was a CON
fused din of ak blows and voices. He
listened. An ominous crackle came to
his ears, and even as he choked down
a curse an acrid smoke was borne in
upon them. He covered his face with
his free hand.
"Oh, my God" he groaned. ITO have
to die like thisn'
II don't think l shall be afraid" she
said, with you"
He stretched out his hand and took
hers.
Il have fought to keep myself from
telling you," he said. But now moth
ing matters. l can tell you now"
oh" she said, Il saw and | knew,
and because I was helpless | was mis-
cradle"
He felt her hand tighten on his. The
smoke thickened. Then all at once the
AK blows were near, flood of light
broke upon them. Voices were close
at hand. He saw her lifted out and
felt strong arms beneath him.
Il should never have told you II |

room of the farmhouse where they had
been taken. He lay on sofa, his left
leg swathed in bandages, and she sat
close beside him.

For moment the member of parlia-

ness of this charge, while the audience
eagerly awaited developments. Then,
looking hard at his interrupter, he in

HICKS FOR JANUARY.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks, the st. Louis
weather man, makes these predictions fol
January:
BY the 2nd wave of rising tempera
ture and falling barometer will appeal
In western sections, cloudiness willquick'
Nv gather in the same areas, and storms
Of rain and then sleet and snow will pass
eastwardly over the country, on anC
about the Bird and 4th. Winter thunder
storms on and touching the 4th should
be no surprise, aud rapid and violent
change to high barometer, high north
westerly gates and very cold, should be
counted on in the immediate rear OF the
storm areas. Shelter should be sought
for man and beast, while the barometer
is still low, and before the storms cul-
inmate.
The days ofthe greatest storm prob
ability are the 9Th, 9th, 10th and 18th.
As we enter this period look for change
to warmer in the Vast, winds will SHIFT
10 soutberly and easterly, and the barom-
eter will fall. Reactionary period IS
central on the 18th, 18th and 10th.
The prevailing cold will soften about the
l4th and the barometer will fall IN the
West, bringing a renewal OF ram
and snow-mostly snow-as the wave
works eastward during the 18th and
10th. 1t is a rare thing for storm con-
ditions to break up Immediately pre-
cedinO a new moon. When the moon
is nearing the celestial equator, espe-
cially when on its way from south de-
cination, the effect is to prolong high
temperature and low barometer.
The probabilities are that most parts
Of the country will enter the fourth
storm period from 18th to 22nd, in per-
turbed, if not stormy state Of weather.
A marked increase of warmth will be
noticeable on and about the 10Th, with
possibly winter lightning and thunder.
Look for rain about the same time,
tuning into billiards and snow and
sleet, as the storm areas travel east
ward across the country during the 10th,
Dist and 22nd.
The 25th, 26th and 9th are the cen
trail DAYS of the fifth storm period. AT
this, as well as other storm periods, a
perceptible rise of temperature will set
in early in the West, falling barometer
will quickly ensue, and cloudiness, with
return of rain and snow, will make their
regular march eastward across the
country.
