A FOretaste of Spring,

But RELY It's to get taste O. south wInd

honey tang that drips
Out o. tn flowers somewhere else. There

Than potterin around outdoors tn first

Hike to climb tn hill an see tn medders
fast asleep
An know already all tn grass waits for
tn word to creep
Up to tn air, an daisies, too-they're
ready, every one,
TO wake an climb an wave their hands a

An way out there acrost tn fields where

I see certain sign o. spring-a stretch O.

A whitewashed fencA-a common thing to

It amt nowise purity thing, nor yet a

But don't you see it's just as If tn farm

An fixed itself for spring, with its best

Then mebbe there's robin come to chirp

or "local" treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The onlv
safe and sure way that woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directlya.on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifes the
complexion. It also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness. and
induces refreshing sleep. A single
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia

ROCKEFELLER'S PASTlMES.
Golf and Skating Are FayOrite DE-
versions For the Millionaire.

Golf and Skating Are FayOrite Df-
versions For the Millionaire.
Golf and skating are two pastimes to
which John d. Rockefeller has been
deyoting most of his waking hours at
Lakewood, n. J., during the recent crisp
days, says a New York dispatch to the
Chicago Record-Herald. He enjoys golf
In privacy, and when he goes skating
he chooses an hour in the late after
noon when there are few people on the
lake, and then seeks a sheltered cove
at the upper end of the lake, where few
skaters venture.
An attendant always accompanies
him, and sometimes mis- daughter, Mrs.
Charles A. Strong, and his little grand
daughter skate wSSh him. He always
carries a long, thick stick in his hand.
He remarked to a friend that he feels
safer on the ice when he carries stick.
With his little granddaughter he had
great sport on the ice the other day.
She took one end Of the stick, and then
MIR. Rockefeller, skating at a pretty
good clip, drew her along after him.
Then they had a short race, which Mr..
Rockefeller gallantly let her win, but
he pretended to be very much cha
grined at his defeat. AS they left the
ice Mr. Rockefeller declared that the
exercise had given him pretty sharp
appetite for his supper.

The Stage In Books.

There have been many young girls
ready to believe as gospel truth any
thing they saw in a book, and the more
innocent the less suited they were to
analyZe the statements made in these
inconsequent titles. They only saw
that by way of the theater any pretty
girl in poverty, in trouble, could in the
briefest time become great, powerful
and wealthy. No word was said Of the
long toll in obscurity, the yearning for
recognition, the perpetual disappoint-
ment, the thousand hopes always with
ering like leaves before frost, the
wretched life in poverty, of struggles
against numbers and perhaps jealousy
and malice, of slow increase of salary,
of equal increase of expense. The old
time novelist was silent as to all these
and only dwelt in large and vague
splendors-never adequately accounted
for.
Poor, romantic little maids! One does
not like to think what the effect Of the
gilded nonsense Of such books about the
stage may have been. but in my own
mind I compare them with such book
as "The Mummer's Wife," that fright
full and realistic story Of Mr.. George
Moore's-tlat horror in stupendouS
realism. but "Oh, Son of David, have
mercy upon u.s." it is the truth!-Clara
Morris in Reader.

of the Code, expressly confers on the
Board of Internal Improvement the
power to investigate the affairs OF any
railroad or public institution in when
the State has interest and the govern
ment is empowered to take such action
concerning any matter reported on as
the said board may deem to the inter-
est of the State that is relative to any
mismanagement or misconduct of the
same.
The law, you see, gives the Board
of Internal improvements charge of
the States interest in this road with
full power to direct the control and
management of the same in the inter-
est of the State, but | see no power in
us to lease the road. And the inter
est of the State, which is the public
good, is the paramount interest in the
purvlew of the law, not the specula-
tive interest of private stockholders.
1t is nowhere given the board or the
Governor, who is ex-officio, president
of the board, the power to lease the
road, unless is contained in the farm
out" clause of the charter, and that
is too vague and uncertain to justify
me in disposing of more than million
and quarter of dollars worth OF
States property to anyone. The law
as L see it, gives us the power only to
control or manage the road in the in
tereSt of the State. The interest OF al
the people of the section through
which the road runs is the interest OF
the State, and the purpose OF the Gre
alton of the Atlantic q North Carolina
Railroad Company was the supposed
benefit of the people through control
and management of the property by
the State. That was the considera-
ton moving the Legislature to grant
the franchise and put the people
money i'm its construction.
1.-THE interest of those who might
purchase it's deprecated stocks for
speculative purposes after the road
had been virtually wrecked by an ill
advised lease to one Best was not the
chiefest consideration which moved
The Legislature to charter and build
this road. And their interest and div
idends are not moving considerations
to me to violate the spirit of the law
and the policy of the State, as l see it.
relative to the management and con-
troll of this valuable property to the
State. It's value to the State is rapidly
and constantly increasing and the in
terest of the State ID the people, II
my opinion, would not be conserved by
q, lease of the road, but a lease of the
road would it seems to me, be repug-
nant to the policy of the State ana
prejudicial to her best interest
And / am not yet prepared TO sub
scribe to the monStrouS proposition
that the State is incapable of manag-
ing her own property and affairs.
