laws that have been found to be very

girdcd in the old North state as a vio-
iation OF tho laws OF c'od7 In reply tho
Observer says:
Under the law 1t Is n rilsdemennor IN
North Carolina to fish on Sunday. Wo
never heard OF any statute against pie
nicing, and Until this Rich Square affair
never heard Of n Sunday picnic III North
Carolina. Hence, our law-,nnkers proba-
bly, never contemplated this particular
deviation. Answering the last question
of OUR Richmond contemporary, that
sort OF Sunday recreation (ishing and
having plcnics) Is generally and en-
nl,nticaly regarded In the old North
State as n violation Of the laws OF COD.
Z can 1t be that 1t Is not so regarded IN

Pass On The Praise

You are a great little wife aud
L don't know what L would do with
out you And as he spoke he
put his arms about her and kissed
her, and she forgot all her care in
moment. And forgetting all,
she sang as she washed the dishes,
and sang on as she made the beds,
and the song was heard next door,
and woman there caught the re.
frain and sang also, and two homes
were happier because he had told
her that sweet old story, the story
of the love of a husband for wife.
AS she sang the butcher boy heard
it and went out whistling on his
journey, and the world heard the
whistle, and one man hearing it,
thought, "here is a lad VINO loves
his work, lad happy and content
ed."
And because she sang her heart
was mellowed, and as she swept
about the back door, the cool air
kissed her on each cheek, and she
thought of poor old woman she
knew and little basket went over
to that home with a quarter for a
crate or two of wood.
So, because he kissed her and
praised her, the song came, and
the influence went out aud out.
Pass tn the praise.
A word and you make rift in
the cloud, smile and you may
create new resolve, a grasp of the
hand and you may repossess soul
from hell.
Pass on the praise now don't go
to the grave and call mother"
Don't plead, "Hear me, mother;
you were kind mother; you were
a good mother and smoothed away
many rugged path for me-"
Those ears cannot hear that glad
admission. Those eyes cannot see
the light of earnestness in yours.
Those hands may not return the
you now wish to give.
Why call 30 late? Pass on the
praise to.day.-Wheeling Tele-
