bank teller to, some friends last
night. "I've always understood
that it made it harder for t h e

in his eyes, That is a wrong
impression" continued the bank
teller. ';'The man who isn't a
regular liar, but who has made
up his mind to lie to you, decides
first that he must look you
straight in the eyes. 1t is the
voice, when you don't look at
the eyes, that tells you whether
the other fellow is lying. We use
the system frequently in the bank
A man will come in to tell us

his feet or his hands or his knees,

SHOWED UNDER.

OF all the things the year showed
under,
The busy old year that has gone
away,
How many will rise in thespring,
wonder,
Brought gMs to- light by the warmth
Will the rose-tree branches so
wholly hidden
That uever a rose tree it seemed
to be,
At the sweet springs call come
forth unbidden,
And bud in beauty and bloom for
me?
| Will the fair, green earth whose
throbbing bosom
Is hid, like a maids in her gown
at night,
Wake out nf her sleep, and with
blade and blossom
Gem her garments to please my
sight.
Over the knoll in the valley yon-
der.
The loveliest buttercups bloomed
and grew:
When the snow is gone that drift
ed them under.
Will they shoot up sunward and
bloom anew?
When the wild winds blewAnd the
sleet storm pelted,
l lost q jewel OF priceless worth,
If | walk that way when the snow
has melted
Will the gem CLEAN upfrom bare,
brown earth?
l laid a love that was dead-or
dying
For the year to bury and hide
out OF sight,
But out of a trance will it waken,
crying,
And push to my heart like a leaf
to the light?
Under the snow lie things SO cher
ished-
Hopes, ambitions and dreams Of
men,
Faces that vanished and trusts
that perished,
Never to sparkle or glow again,
The Old Year greedily fgrasped
his plunder,
Covered itover and hurried away;
OF the thousand things. he hid, l

How many will rise at the call OF
May?

The Origin OF Pearls.

Three principal hypothesis have
been offered to account for the
origin OF pearls. According to
one, they arise from secretions
caused by the presence of some
foreign object, such as a grain OF
sand, within the shell of All oys.
ter. But it has been shown that
fine pearls are not thus produced.
but only dearly concretions.
Another theory il that pearls
are the result Of disease.in the
oyster. The third hypothesis sus-
tained by M. Seurat, of the o.
ceangraphic museum OF Monaca,
is that the origin Of pearls is to
be ascribed to the presence of a
parasite. The species Of para
sites differs with the species Of
oyster but this mode of origin
NJ. Seurat believes, il general
with all fine pearls. To restore
the lustre Of a ''dead" pearl the
outer taruished envelopes may

effect produced upon a tarnished
pearl by causing a fowl to swal-

The Dlrge Of The Auctioneer.
Charlotte News)


The last rites-have been said
over the silent remains of the once
glorious Tar Heel Club, of Greens
boro. The funeral dirge h a 6
sounded it's last somber note and
the naturalization thereof is
heard no more-the club is dead,
dead as a ''door naill" Like the
flowers of the field 1T fiourished
for a brief space, but, alas, its
course is run and the place there.
OF knows it no more. Its four
walls, that once hemmed in one
OF the most rambuncious presi-
Dental booms ever, have b e Q n
robbed of their adornings and
the cry of the auctioneer was the
last noise heard before the cutain
dropped.
"1f you have tears to she'd"
prepare to shed 'em, for the club
is dead for, keeps, everlastingly
and eternally non est! In fact it
rs the deadest thing in North Cal
olina-unless itSbe the clu b's
progenitors. They are all
dead-"Sleep on beloved, sleep
and take thy rest," and don't be
in a hurry abouit- there's plenty
of time.
But in the midst of our mourn
ing, we pause to pity the lifeless
thing. There are deaths an d
there are deaths. AlkaliIke after
making one heroic dash for the
pole, fell vanquished, but with a
halo on his gallant brow. Thus
also died Panhandle Pete, with
the laurels of victory still clasped
in his pulseless palmsand his belt
decked with shaggy scalps These
all died game. with their ''boots
on, they answered the last call
and chased in.
But, ''more's the pity" such
was not the fate of the sile n
club.
No historian will search it's re-
mains for data; no future gener-
ations will rise up and call it
blessed for the work it did-it
died ignominiously, ingloriously
died simply because there was
nothing else to do.
In moments of grief, etc., it is
some times PERMITTED one to see
things at other times invisible.
Being, at this juncture, in t h a t
state of mental TRANSPORTATION,
we see the cruel death angel bend
ing over the new victim, and then
we see him slowly rise, and beck
oning to the death things papa,
E. Spencer, call shrill and wierd-
like "Next."

sClvIL WAR;
(Statesville Landmark.)

+ The United States Senate Fri
day passed a "service pension
bill" which grants a pension OF
$l2 a month to all surviving sol
diers OF the civil and Mexican
wars who have reached the age
OF 81, sis a month to all who
are 70 years Of age and 800 per
month to all who are IS. This
tension is SIMPLY for those who
served in those wars and have
reached the ages indicated. re-
gardless of whether they did or
did not incur disabilities. The bili
will increase the pension expend-
iture about 81, 100000 annual
ly. 1t was intended solely Tor Fed
eral soldiers, but on motion Of
Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, Mex
ican soldiers were added and al
SO On amendment providing that
attorneys should not receive fees
for securing pensions under this
bill. The same day the House
passed G28 private pension bills.
This pension expenditure is ex.
pected as a matter OF course and
criticism OF IL is a waste of time
and space. We have mentioned
the bill to relate that a remarka-
ble incident occurred during it's
passage. The bill referred to the
Federal soldiers rs survivors OF
the "war Ol the rebellion" Mr..
Carmack asked that this be chan
eed to ''civil war; saying that
the term "war OF the rebellion"
was offensive to many people.
There was a friendly discussion
OF the proper name Of the proper
name for the struggle oi the Cos,
some of the Southern Democrat
ic Senators contending that it's
proper designation is "war be-
tween the states" Mr. Teller, OF
Colorado. formerly q Republican,
who joined the Democrats on the
silver issue, said the war was ell
ther a ''ciyil war" or a "rebell.
ion." and he could see no oppro-
blum in the word rebellion. The
discussion was entirely good-na-
ture1, there was not the slightest
show Of bitterness, and the sug-
gestion of Mr.. Carmack to change
the term war OF the reb ,lliOn"
to "civ,l war" was unanimously
agreed to.
Ever siuce the historic strug-
gle it has been termed a rebpll-
ion by the Northern and West
ern people. A few years ago the
suggestion OF Mr.. Carmack would
have aroused bitter opposition
andsthe TACT that the change was
so readily made shows that the
feeling engendered by the civil
war has almost passed away:
