himself
He did not think it possible when
Sarah Irving refused to marry him
that he should ever see another wom-
an he could care for, but from the
first moment he saw Alice, his heart
began to swing around into the right
place. AS day by day he learned to
know her better, he saw more and
more resemblance to the woman he
had loved and lost, and it was no
disloyalty to her memory that made
him in few short months as warm
lover of Alice as he had been of
Sarah. As he reflected upon it, it
seemed like the same love-

winter, II want your congratulations.

myself, but l am very happy. You
know just how good and noble he is,
SO you can rejoice with and for me.

But, auntie, what do you think! He
says the very first thing that at

lance to you, and the more he knew
me, the more he saw to remind him
of you. He thinks you are as nearly

was no soreness in it now. She was

Designed for Use in Camps, Apart

Two.story beds, that is to say bed

one above the other, have been in use
for some few years, but something
entirely new in this line is the three.
story bed, containing three beds, one
above the other, which was first placed
on the market the present season.
These bedsteads, which are made
entirely of iron, are so constructed
that they can be knocked down to Oc'
cupy comparatively small space fo1
convenience in handling in shipment
and transportation, the three-story
bed separating into five parts, the
head and foot sections and the three
beds, each bed section having wire
mattress permanently attached to the
side and end pieces.
At the ends of each mattress frame
are pins that fit into slots placed al
suitable heights up the head and foot
pieces. To set up a two or three,
story bed you simply stand up the
head and foot pieces and drop the
pins on the mattress frames into the
slots and there is the bedstead with
it's wire springs in each tier ready tc
receive the mattress.
Bedsteads of this sort are intended
for camps, apartments, steamers OF
wherever the floor space is limited
A two-tier bedstead with wire springs
complete, but without mattresses, cost
$24, and three-tier bedstead $35.

To each other, gushing young girls

Irving had never married.
And with her Madonna face!

For more than ten years Sarah
Irving had made her home in her mar
ried brothers family, to the happi-

better proof of her goodness could
you ask? For everybody knows this
cannot be said of all maiden ladies OF

REVIVAL OF PIG STICKING.
"Pine Toppers" in Training for Sport
at North Carolina Fair.


A new industry has been brought
into this section, one that promises to
produce very lively degree of inter-
est and which may succeed in revolu-
tioniZing a time hOnOred sport that is
yet dear to those who frequent the
fair grounds when the open season is
on. In fact, the ancient sport of pig
sticking may be revived if ]. F. Jordan
has his way about it and is successful
in breeding a type of boars that are in
digenous to the soil near Manchester,
where he has a game preserve well
stocked with different varieties of
winged and four-footed things at which
to shoot or spear.
These quadrupeds of the genus por-
cinus are locally known as pine top
pers," but even Mr.. Jordan's acquaint-
ance with verbiage because he was
formerly sheriff of this county does
not enable him to tell how these fris-
ky, long tusked boars have acquired
their name. The suggestion was made
yesterday, however, by Garland Dan
iel, secretary of the Central Carolina
Fair association, that the name is
based on the fact that these animals
can outop and outrun any other speci-
mems of their kind on the footstool,
and are so difficult of capture that not
even the feetest footed negro can
catch one, though given big start by
the boar.
Mr.. Jordan has two Of these racers
In training. Each one is to be let
loose on the fair grounds on a certain
day, and the negro that captures his
particular pig will be allowed to take
it home for family consideration and
indigestion. One Of these racers has
a record of jumping twenty-seven feet
on the level, and it is said to be Mr..
JOrdan's hope If not his full intention
so to train this speedy and active run
ner and broad jumper that it's record
shall be brought to thirty-tive feet.
! Anyway, the spectacle of hundred or
more black chasers after pig that
has been creased by the hand of ma
ture promises to be one of those sights
at the fair that are alone worth the
price of admission.

On warm, pleasant Hdays Marie's

Carolina Commission Could not
Remedy the Matter.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. pa con-
ductor on a south-bound train out Of
Charlotte, over the main line of the
Southern, charged a Greenville man
IS cents for ride from Earle, N. c.,
to Blacksburg, S. c., distance Of six
miles, and the man having complain
ed to the South Carolina railroad
commission; Chairman Caughman took
the matter up with General Passen-
ger Agent ". H. Tayloe, at Wash
ington, who, in letter<received by
Chairman Caughman today, con-
firms the charge as correct and pro-
per, the extra charge Of 25 cents being
made because the passenger did not
get ticket.
Mr.. Tayloe says he regrets very
much the company is not allowed to
make this extra charge on intra-state
business, as he feels it would be
best for all concerned. He thinks
the conductors have all they can pro-
perly attend to in looking after the
physical operation Of the trains, and,
what is most important Of all, the
safety Of passengers.
"I hope,' he says, livery muca that
the time will come when all Of these
matters will be adjusted on uniform
basis, which, I am satisfied, would be
to the best interest of all concerned. -
Of course the commission is power
less as the point raised is on inter
state business.
