Skin Disease from Birth-Fortuns Spent on Her Without Benefit
 Cured Her with Cuticura.

T have cousin in Rockingham Go. who once had skin disease from her birth until she was six years of age. Her father had spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treat ments did her any good. Old Dr. - suggested that he try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he con- menced to use it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I could hardly believe she was the same child. Her skin was as soft as a baby s without scar on it. l have not seen her in seventeen years, put I have heard from her and the last time l heard she was we'll Mrs. W. P. Ingle, Burlington, N.

Soap Bubble Haneino from . Reed.

Our life is but a soap bubble hang. Ing from a reed; 1t Is formed. expands 10 its full size. clothes itself with the loveiiest colors of the prism. and even escapes at moments from the law of gravitation; but soon the black speck appears in it and the globe of emerald and gold vanishes into space. leaving oehihd 1t nothing but . simple drop or turbid water. All the poets have made this comparison, it is so strik- Ing and so true. To appear, to shine. to disappear; to be born. to suffer and to die; Is it not the whole sum of life. for a butterfly, for a nation. for . star?-denry Frederic Amiel.

The Old Trundle Bed.
New Bern Sun.

We are past those days now-the
days of the old trundle bed-but we
see almost every day men who in
childhood's happy days spent their
hours in dreamland tucked sLugly
away in the old trundle bed. OF late
there has been some reminiscent dis.
cusslOn among some OF the Southern
newspapers OF the trundle bed.
What of it? The Richmond News.
Leader, discussing it says that prob
ably the lines in famous war poem
OF 1861 which appealed most directly
to the hearts of many thousand peo-
pie were:
'As he thinks of the two in the low trundle
bed
Far away in the cot on the mountain"
"Trundle beds were in cottages and
cabins and mansions then. Few dwell
ings could supply separate rooms and
beds for each child, and mothers and
fathers did not wish to have the
sleeping children as far away as pos
possible" "
All has been changed now. Contin-
uing the NeWs-Leader says that in
''these days the doctors, some of
themselves brought up in trundle
beds many years ago, would contem-
plate that once familiar article of
household furniture with extreme
horror. They would declare it to
be unsanitary and threatening more
germs, microbes and diseases than
their fathers ever dreamed existed.
We need more paraphernalia, prepa-
ration and scientific consideration to
put a child to bed than used to be re-
quired to build a warship and put it
into action"
Is the change a beneficial one? Are
the children reared today stronger
and healthier than the romping, rud-
dy youths OF half century-and less
ago? Then there were millions of
children who grew up to be virile,
useful, vigorous men and strong,
fruitful and capable wives and moth
ers and heads of families. who spent
all their nights in early years in trun-
die beds, and at a time when nothing
was thought necessary more than to
have them kneel down, repeat sim
pie prayer, stretch themselves luxuri-
ously on the broad and welcome soft
ness, and with good night kisses
drop off to sleep.
Another thing, the mother then
preferred to reach over from her own
bed and feel to see if the little ones
were tucked away comfortably, and
to sooth a wakeful one with gentle
pats and soft whispered words, rath-
er than leave it to a trained nurse or
a hired maid.
There can be no doubt that they
were crude and rude and unscientific
days and unimproved days, when
the wide trundle bed was rolled be-
meath the big bed in the daytime and
out at night. There were few luxu-
ries, but there was comfort and there
was solace and happiness.
The NeWs-Leader says that then
"people had livers but didn't know it
and they lacked many of the diseases
and maladies with long names now
of daily development. And people
lived in families, not in mere more or
less polite and restrained associa-
ton" Think of it! Restrained asso-
citation between father and son, and
mother and child.

What are Necessaries.

A correspondent of the Lumberton
Robesonian says this in connection
with Charlotte's recently enacted
Sunday "blue" laws:
We note that our enterprising
neighbor, Charlotte, is much dis
turbed over it's Sunday laws, and
the fathers of the city have asked
Mr.. J. A. McRae, their attorney, to
define for them, legally, the meaning
of the word "necessaries,
Unless ice, ice cream and milk are
necessary articles of consumption
out they go, "on the Lords day,
commonly called Sunday" AS to ice
and milk, Mr.. McRae is dubitante,
but is certain that ice cream cannot
be sold on Sunday, especially if it be
in buckets.
We are inclined to agree with him
as to the last. No man should be al
lowed to have a bucket full Of ice
cream at one time. None but @
wicked capitalist would think of Or
dering so much "all to once" and
we know of no better way of bringing
these monopolists to terms than to
take away from them their ice cream
and let them sweat and stew. We
doubt not that Finley had his ice
cream before him when he told the
Asheville officer to "wait awhile"
But are ice and milk necessaries?
Mr.. McRae thinks so, but thinks the
court must settle the question under
the ordinance OF the city, which, we
feel sure, Mr. McRae, good and wise
man and lawyer, neither drew nor
approves.
And we are here reminded OF a
little story. Some years ago one OF
our Judges, strict prohibitionist,
while holding court in one OF the
Eastern counties, called upon the
sheriff to fill up the jury box with
talismen. The sheriff, a good fellow,
but sometimes getting a little over
full, at this time being particularly
so, stood up for full two minutes,
and gave out not a sound. The
Judge seeing something was wrong,
said: "Sheriff, have you been drink
ing anything?" With bland smile,
but without turning his head the
sheriff replied, Nothing but water
"don't you call in some jurors, then?s
Smiling more blandly still, quoth the
sheriff, 'I'm trying to get some good
uns." "Will Charlotte make its citi
zens good uns' with coffee, water
without ice) and too much law?
| Here the writer is-dubitante.

OreehsDOrO heCoru
The strenuous life will tell on the
hardest OF men. Senator F. NJ. Sim
mons has perhaps done more hard
work of the kind that kills than any
man in the State and for years it did
not seem to hurt him, but like a wise
man he saw it was getting in its
work and lately he has been at his
farm resting, doing nothing and
thinking but little. He was at the
McAdoo this morning on his way
home. Unable to get sleeper last
night he remained over until today.
The senator says he knows very lit
tie about the political situation be-
cause he has not been around and
he had nothing to say to a represen-
tative of this paper who called on
him. No man in public life in North
Carolina has so surprised the mass OF
people who did not know him person
ally. Instead of being a shrewd
politician and a politician alone, he
has shown that he was a statesman
from the time he was sent where
statesmen are needed and he has
taken rank with the brainy men of
the country. Only one thing should
deprive North Carolina OF his service

attended Union courts. On one visit,
just as he arrived at the hotel at
Monroe and was in his room brush

entered aud, placing bill Of money
on the table, told Vance he wanted
to employ him in IL case that would
be called soon after court opened.
He went on to explain that he had
lawyer but didn't like him. "Who is
he and what is the matter?" asked
Vance. "Mr. Ashe, said the client,
"but he don't manage my case to
suit me-" "Well, now," said Vance,

Mothers.

Mid LIES commotions-dismal fears
Mid cares and woes and floods Of tears,
How sweetly breaks upon the ear
Some word of comfort or Of cheer;
Yet of our friends there is not another
Who speaks as gently as our mother.
Here disappointments crowd each day,
Our brightest hopes soon fade away,
And friends long trusted oft deceive:
We scarcely know whom to believe.
Yet, though We fear to trust each other,
We're not afraid to trust our mother.
Yet here where there's so much deceit,
Some friends we have we love to meet,
There's love, we know, that will endure
Not sordid, selfish, but all pure;
But though beloved by sister, brother.
There's none that love us like our mother.
Among the names to mortals given.
There's none like mother, home and heaven
For homes no home without her care.
And heaven-we know she will be there;
Then let Us while we love each other,
and be kind to mother
