DECISION IN LIGHT CASE.
Judge Reed Aupointed the Mother
 Joint Guardian of Children.

Judge Reed decided the contention between Orson Light and his wife. Kate Light, to-day at 1 o'clock. By agreement the lawyers In the case. Mir Kennedy for Mrs Light and Judge Peasley for Mir Light, appeared be- fore the court. Judge Peasley sug- sested that the court summon both the children before him and let them decide who shall be their guardians. To this Attorney Kennedy objected. saying that the suggestion was not proper. He did not want to have the little children say anything against either parent. and particularly their mother. Besides that, he considered they had been too long under their fathers Influence to remember the natural kindness of their mother to them. It might be that owing to the excitement they have been through on account of the case and their be- ing sent from place to place. that they had forgotten their mother all together as it has been a long time since they have seen her.
 The judge thereupon reversed the order of the probate court and re- stored Mrs Llknt tO tHe Joiut Buhru- ianship of both the children.
 Attorney Kennedy then stated that his client was willing to take both children, clothe and educate them properly and would not ask cent from her husband for their mainte- nance. On the other hand he suggest ed that If the court deemed 1t proper he could order the little girl Ada be given over to the mother entirely. and in this case also she would not ask any money from her husband.
 The court said that while he could not order that either of the children be given entirely over to either parent. he would suggest that fl such a division was possible that Ada be given to the mother and Or son to the father.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY.

In speaking Of anothers faults
Pray don't forget your own,
Remember those with homes of glass
Should never throw stone
If we have nothing else to do
But talk of those who sin,
'Tis better we commence at home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right to judgea man
Until he's. fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults, and who has not
The old as well as young,
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one. /.
I'll tell you of better plan,
You find it works quite well,
To try your own defects to cure
Before of others tell;
And though sometimes hope to be
Noworse than some / know
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let US all when we commence
To slander friend or foe
Think of the harm one word may do
To those we little know;
Remember curses something like
Our chickens, roost at home;
Don't speak of other fault suntil
We have none of our own.

HOW ABOUT THE STEAMER?

Said the Norfolk Virginian- Pilot more
than two months ago:
"The business and trade interests of
this community are to be congratulated
upon the announcement that the Vir-
ginia- Carolina Inland Steamship Com
pany will shortly establish line of
steamers between this port and Kappa
hammock river points. The establish
ment and operation of this line will not
only enable local merchants to retain
the trade which they already have with
the Rappahannock river territory, but
will also afford them an opportunity to
further develop and enlarge that trade.
And that there is ample room for de-
veloping and enlarging trade in that
territory goes without saying. The
Rappahannock river section is an ex-
ceedingly prosperous and resourceful
one and its trade is valuable to any port.
Norfolk and the other communities on
this harbor, principally on account OF
lack of adequate transportation facilities
and conveniences, have so far .,ot been
able to obtain. the share of this traI1e ia
which their position and advantage en-
title them. Baltimore on the other hand,
always favored by the Weems line and
its successors, has been getting the
bulk of the Rappahannock river trade,
The new line, it is said, contemplates
the operation Of two boats on this route
alone. Under these conditions schedule
can be so arranged as to meet the con.
venience of shippers on both ends of the
line, and should result in the upbuildine
and development of profitable business.
That it will so result, if the line il
properly supported by the business anc
trade interests of Norfolk and the sur
rounding communities, there is httl.
room to doubt.
In this connection, it is not amiss t,

HUMANIrY's YOKE.

The tasks of civilization are too COM
plicated to be fulfilled during single
lifetime Two lives must be spliced to-
gether, one elSing out the other. 1t is
exceptional for sowing and reaping to
be simultaneous We should not resent
giving place to others, who will do our
work better than we, who will succeed
where we have failed. Our failure per-
chance is the condition of their success,
for success and suffering are vitally
inter-related. If we succeed without
suffering, it is because-ethers have suf-
fered before us. If we suffer without
succeeding, it is that others may succeed
after US.
Others shall sing the song,
Others shall right the wrong,
Finish what begin
And what fail Of, win.
What matter I or they,
Mine or another's day,
So the right word be said
And life the sweeter made
Ring bells in unreared steeples,
The joy of unborn peoples
Sound, trumpets far-off blown!
Your triumph is my own.

CAPTAIN JOHNSON IS NlNETY.sIX.

Captsin Thomas johnson. the
patriarch of the Virginia Eastern
Shore, recently celebrated his ninety
sixth birthday. Captain johnson is
still active, energetic and vigorous.
Tie Was father to the late John T..
johnson, OF Lancaster, and some of
nis grandchildren and great grand.
children make Lancaster still their
homes.
Any day Capt. johnson can be
seen on the streets of 0nancock rid
ing about III his carriage collecting
the rent from mis- many tenants and
ever ready for race with any one
who happens along. lie often goes
out in his cart after load of pota-
toes or wood. He is proud of his
age, and likes to have some one to
talk to him about 1t. He is very
desirous to live long enough to be a
eentenarian. His life has been full
of strenuous deeds. For over sixty
years he followed the water, and his
stories OF an active sailors life of
excitement and daring arouse admira
tion and attention. He still owns
several vessels.
A few years ago Captain johnson
delivered an address at a banquet on
"Onancock Fifty Years Ago." The
greatest invention in that time and
the one that attracted the particular
notice of the four-score- land ten
speaker was baby carriages. He ex-
planned that they were unknown
when he was boy, as babies were
then carried around by the chair OF
the head" and not rolled about in
cushioned vehicles.
The Captain recently took ride in
an automobile, and was much pleased
with the rapid motion of the machine
lie afterwards said he guessed b.
would have to keep up with the times
and buy one.
The Captains eyesight is wonder
fnl. At ninety-six he can read with
out glasses, and see as far as any
youth of twenty. When asked fol
his health, he always replies: "Sobel
and very well for young man."

Before we can sympathize with Others, we
must have suffered ourselves" No one can
realize the suffering attendant upon an attack
of the grip. unless he has had the actual ex-
perience. There is probably no disease that
causes so much physical and mental agony,
or which so successfully defies medical aid.
All danger from the grip, however, may be
avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy, not one case has
ever been reported that has resulted In pncu-
monia or that has not recovered.

HOW A GAS ENGINE TALKS.

"To the experienced man his gaso-
lene engine has language in its own
tongue which he who runs it must
understand, says H. E. Owen. If
he cannot catch on to this language he
will not get along with his engine
pleasantly. When the engine is right,
and, in consequence of being so, doing
what is right, the only sounds it emits
are the c}icking of the valves, the in
halation of the air and the regular
exhaust. When the regular sounds are
we'll understood, any unusual ones will
be promptly noticed and their causes
located and removed. The trained eai
is probably better detector than the
eye. A careful operator notices all OF
these things. None of them escapes
his ear. To him the absence of one
natural sound is the letter that mis-
spells two WORDS successful operation
consequently the Importance of being
able to detect the absence ofkthe natura
sound, as will as the presence of the
unnatural sound, to know them is the
only sure way to remedy defects
It's the little things that count in the
operation of an engine. A rusty wire,
or one poorly connected, the least bit
too much gasolene, or not quite enough
little water in the gasolene-any OF
these troubles your engine will tell yor
about in plain language and you mus
wait on her promptly or else she vii
stop. Any of these, and more too, vii
give you trouble, as will sometimes &
sticking tremble where the jump sparl
is used. Engines have been known t.
stop, when the gasolene tank becam,
empty. It's all easy to remedy, wher
found, but often hard to locate.
