MRS. RANsIER'S LETTER.

II there are ways of making bread
Mich better than our own;
A better way of making jeu
Than We have ever known;
If one can make a berry pie
And keep the juice ALL in;
If one has got a handy way
Of mending up old tin;
If one has unsurpassed success
In making flowers grow,
Don't hesitate to make it known;
'Tis what We want to know.
Oft times it's but a little hint
We need to lessen labor.
And if we pass it on, we may
Be useful to our neighbor."

wanted to be, and we talked of hold
ing a big Sunshine meeting in tn,

Sunshine at the hour that seemed tc
be the only available one for having
1T, for l was to speak on another
subject at that time, elsewhere. Oh
l had a royal good time, and all
owing to those dear Virginia Sun
sinners.
There were many North Carolina
ladies there too, but / met fewer of
them. [ was wanting all the time
to meet them, but not till the last
day did l appoint myself a commit
tee of one, self-appointed, to talk to
North Carolina badge wearers, in
PRODUCTION or no introduction. 1t
came about this way: Near the door
sat two ladies, both wearing North
Carolina badges, both appearing
very lonesome and bored; both say
ing not a word, both looking wist-
fully at the laughing groups around.
Right then and there | rallied to my
Sunshine principles, and said to my
self, "Why, they look just like /
felt. I wonder if they're feeling
that way too" So without formali-
ty or introduction I stopped and
said, "You're wearing a North Car
olina badge too, We ought to get ac-
quainted; where are you from?"
/ didn't know whether she would
resent my advances or not, but, bless
you, she was just as glad as | had
been to have somebody to talk to,
and then I found out the other lady's
name, and / made them all acauaint-
ed, and soon our corner was the hap
piest in the crowd, and from that
time I, as l told you, appointed my
self a social committee of one to
look after the unsmiling ones, and
L cannot tell you of all the oppor-
tunities l had to do so. but they were
so many that I was sorry and
ashamed that / hadn't begun it the
very first day, when my own loneli-
ness had made me difident.
Now then SINNERS warming !:
when you are bashful or difident
about approaching strangers or be-
ing shiney where you fear it will look
like intruding, remember that the
other fellow may be feeling the very
same way. Of course there should
be a social committee at every large
club gathereing, to attend to moth
ing but making people acquainted
in fact, a Sunshine committee. By
another year our North Carolina
Press Association may have one, but
if they do or don't, Pm never again
going to so forget my Sunshine prin-
ciples and lose a whole day just from
or any other reason.

"The unfortunate disaster by which
life has been lost on the Welsh
mountain known as the Devils Kitch-

Dundee Advertiser, ito the curious
but seemingly universal practice OF
past times in naming peculiar natural
formations after his satanic majesty.
1t is scarcely an exaggeration to say
that hardly county In the British
Isles is without some place or thing
with the designation Devil. All of
which prompts the thought that his
satanic majesty must be holder of
considerable amount of property on
this terrestrial globe. The Devils
Punch Bowl, the Devils Bellows. the
Devils Beef Tub, the Devils Frying
Pan, the Devils Lake, the Devils
Dixie, the DEVILS Cauldron, are few
instances which occur at random,
scattered about in various parts of the
country"
