TO Leslslate Flea, Out of Church.

From Law Notes
The North Carolina legislature is at pres
ent considering bill to prohibit the at
tendance of fleas In the churches of Pitt
county.
1t seems that In that county the
churches are built on pillars with space
left between the floor and the earth, and
in'these subsanctuaries the hogs and goats
oflthe neighborhood have been accustomed
ito foregather bringing with them, after
the custom of hogs and goats. sundry and
divers sfeas. sAs is well known, ,heas have
absolutely no local attachment and will
forsake a hog for Christian without the
least conjunction or regret.
Consequently religious exercises are rap
idly losing their popularity in Pitt coun-
ty, and the legislature must take meas
rres to prevent the county from turning

L HE SAC RIFICE
OF YVES,
THE FISHERMAN
by HfAxISfE AUDOIN

T HAT fellow Yves has never known
what IL was TO have a mother
or a father. much less a single friend.
With him the most important fact was
that ne was strong; his two arms
we're all he had TO keep him from
starvation. Tie was handsome. but he
did not know H. nor would he have
cared II he had known il. his regular
features and proud carriage told OF
noble blood.
The men in the village hated him
because he was a stranger. aud be-
cause his courage was greater than
their own, and they were jealous. too.
because his good looks pleased the
women. Both men and women feared
him. Why, he did not know or care.
Yves lived in a stone cabin that he
had built himself during the winter.
when the fishing season was at an
e3; he carved little boats and play
things that he sold during the sea
son 70 tourists. And because he never
spent his money in getting drunk at
the tavern, the villagers called him
stingy.
Furthermore. they hated him be-
cause one terrible night during the
equinoctial gale. when not single
sailor dared 10 go out. Yves went
alone in his light boat 10 the rescue
of a schooner upon the rocks. After
this their hatred redoubled: but hatred
is not enough 10 kin a man who de-
sires to live
One evening il was three wears Aft

was alone in his cabin. when he heard
feeble cries outside the door. II was

great swirls on the cold beach

TIERS CONVENTION TO BE HELD
AT GALVESTON. TBXAS, APRIL 81
AND %, 1905.
This gathering contemplates
bringing together, by Mr.. T. J.
Anderson, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific
Sunset Route, as many of the
Northern and foreign-born
settlers of Texas as possible.
These settlers will give their
experience in Texas, and will
tell of the many great advant-
ages of the State >ver the
Northern climate and country.
All kinds of facts and data
regarding the rich resources of
OF the State will be given by the
speakers, and the newspaper
Editors who have been invited
to attend the convention will
write for their journals impart-
ing this information, which
will duly appear ia their various
publications.
The citizens of Galveston
have made arrangements for an
elaborate entertain m-nt of all
visitors, consisting of a trip on
the Gulf, a mammoth oyster
roa-t, bathing for those who
desire, in addition to which
prominent speakers from both
Northern and Southern States
will address the convention.
