Very thoughtful. Put it down."
replied MIR. Scratchley.
Jack did so, and went away.
Little Emily and her mamma were
sitting together on the sofa, and as
Jack exchanged a glance with her she
smiled
Not all bad" remarked the princi-
pal. The boy is respectful to you,
and thoughtful. | am obliged to him
for bringing me my hat"
He wished Mr.. Scratchley good
night, patted Emily on the head, and
said with Il sigh: "Ah. how like my

Walking to the door, which Mr..

He did So and as he took off his hat
about a pound of flour descended in a
white cascade, rendering his glossy
black coat as much like miller's as
possible.
At it again. never did see such
boy. He has given you rare turn,
Mr. Crawcour," said Mr. Scratchley,
who could not help laughing at the
ludicrous plight he was in.
1T is all very well to laugh, sir"
cried Mr. Crawcour in rage.
HE, he, her' came from the sofa in
feminine tones.
Even Mrs. Scratchley could not re-
sist the infection, and Emily, who was
as full of mischief as Jack, fairly
roared'with delight.

principal. white with rage, "Pd-pd'-
Don't forget the high principles you
have been advocating" interrupted
Mr. Scratchley. But it is aggravat-
ing. Never mind. 1t doesn't matter.
Wen soon have it off with brush"
Suddenly he caught sight of Jack,
who in a corner of the passage was
convused with laughter at his own
joke.
Beg the gentlemans pardon this in
slant"
Jack did so with apparent penitence.
"And now brush him down"
He handed Jack the clothesbrush,
and the -four speedily disappeared.
"Goodby, my friend. spoke warmly
jus- now; but, no matter, we under
stand one another" said Mr.. Craw-
Cour.
Certainly"

exclaimed Mr.. Scratchley.
"You will honor my poor establish

"About midday"
"Fare thee WE'LL" said the principal,
''and you, my young friend. Believe in
the sincere regard of yours truly" said
Crawcour. I'VE shall meet again
soon."
The front door opened, and he went
out. He arrived home late at Lille
Bridge and was not in the best Of tenn
pers. There was a good deal of Gaming
the next morning, and the boys went
about in fear and trembling.

Club and by the Merchants Retail
| Association.
The Information Bureau was Kept
open from Monday until Friday in
elusive, and from o'clock in the
, morning until II o'clock at night
Mr.. Foster was assisted by Mrs.
Smith, Miss Stunkel, Mr.. Park aud
seven messengers. His report as
manager states that three hundred pri-
vate homes accepted guests sent them
by the bureau during the week; that
at least 1000 persons were directed
to boarding houses or private homes
from the bureau and that several nun
dred more called at the office during
the week for information on various
subjects. No one who made appllca-
ton failed to secure sleeping accom-
mediation and We estimate that the
bureau could have provided for about
500 more had there been the demand
An ample supply of ice water was
provided at the bureau, and about $50
parcels checked for visitors.
Mr.. Foster says that visitors calling
expressed their appreciation of the
kindness of the people of the city in
opening their homes at such reason
able rates, and also their appreciation
of efforts of the Chamber of Com
merce to furnish this information and
to provide for their comfort and pleas
ure while in the city.
Our total expenses for the canvass
and maintenance of this bureau were
as follows:
Salaries of manager, clerks and
messengers and for canVaSsing
the city $o9.oO
Sundries, including books,
printing, ice, etc. ......... 6.32
Total $685.
The results accomplished would seem
to justify the maintenance of such a
bureau on all such occasions and we
believe the city invested wisely the
amount required to conduct the enter
prise.
We are greatly indebted to those
who were employed in this work for
their earnest and intelligent efforts
without which it could not have ac-
complished such satisfactory results.
Respectfully submitted.
CHAS. J. PARKER,

In behalf of the Chamber of Com
merce l wish to thank Mr.. Parker

he has handled the Bureau of Infor-

The man who has once been mad
looks back with wondering horror over
the deeds done while his faculties
were dominated bv the suggestions of
the evil spirit that held him in its
power. George A. Lupton tells of such
a case in the following words:
II went to the Keeley Institute at
Greensboro about twelve or fourteen
years ago. l was at that time drunk
ard, and if l had died then | would
have gone down to He'll; but now l
have been delivered from that terri
BILE evil, and have been forgiven my
sins. And / do thank God that | have
no longer any desire for drink. feel
that / can praise your Institute for
the great good it has done me and
mine. 1t is hard to realize that there
was a time when [ only thought of
whskey sacrificing my friends and
family for the sake of the demon
drink.

PRIZE WINNERS.
Battle Axe Shoes Awarded Gold Medal
and Blue Ribbon.

At the State Fair, held here during
the past week, the Stephen Putney
Shoe Company was awarded the gold
medal and blue ribbon on their mag
nificent and attractive exhibit of Battle
Axe shoes.
That the highest award was given
to this exhibit caused no surprise. 1t
was the universal opinion OF every one
who witnessed the magnificent array
of Battle Axe shoes displayed at the
Fair representing more than six hum
dred styles from the finest to the
coarsest grades, that it was the finest
exhibit of shoes ever shown in the
State of North Carolina.
The representatives of the stephen
Putne-- Shoe Company, Messrs. K. t.
Hancock and Channing M. Clarke, are
to be congratulated on the splendid
taste shown in the artistic arrange
ment of the exhibit. 1t was not the
mere artistic arrangement, however,
that gave to Battle Axe shoes the first
prize, but the superior stvle and quail
ity of the shoes themselves over all
competitors Well may the stephen
Putney Shoe Company feel proud of
It's success.

TRIBUTE TO GEN. GLENN.
Issued Yesterday by the Council of
of State.

The Council of State yesterday is
sued the following tribute to the mem
ory Of the late General James d.
Glenn:
1t is exceedingly difficult properly to
express in words the worth of one so
faVorably known as General James d..
Glenn, private secretary of the Gov
ernor of North Carolina, who died at
his home in the City of Raleigh Octo-
Der 18th. 1905. The Council of State
honors his memory for his gentleness,
his integrity and his uprightness in
life, which endeared him to all our
people, and cast a halo around his
name that will grow brighter and
brighter in the years to come.
We thank God for General Glenn
and for his valuable services to our
State in all the high positions he was
called to occupy. We thank God for
the heroic fight he made for his life,
and that he was manly and unafraid
till the burden and heat of the day
had passed, and he had walked down
into that darkness which comes to
purple the dawn of a better morning.
We tender to the family, to his aged
mother. and to the Governor our ten
derest sympathy in their sad bcreave-
mont and pray that the consultations
of grace may abound in them, and
that our Heavenly Father may take
them into His inner chamber and COM
fort them, as one who is comforted by
his mother.
That a page of the minutes of our
Council be dedicated to the memory
of General Glenn, and COW of this
tribute be sent to the family.
