Conscience Stricken Purloiner Returns
 Jewel.

A diamond ring that disappeared from the dresser in the bedroom of Mrs. Marie Justice at Paragould five years ago has been returned to her. No amount of search and advertis- ing at the time could furnish the slightest clue as to what became of the jewel. In the intervening years Mrs. Justice never ceased to keep a lookout for the treasure Among her mail a few days ago she received a package post-marked at ,Paragould, neatly packed, containing the long lost ring. There was no writing or other marks to indicate who sent the package. The ring had evidently not been worn, being in the same condition as when it left the posses sion of Mrs. Justice. It is believed the party who took it did not wear it for fear of detection.
 Fayetteville to Have City Hospital.
 There is the probability that in the near future Fayetteville will have an up-todate city hospital. The Knights of Pythias lodge has on foot a plan for the construction and maintenance of such an institution It is the pur- pose of the Knights of Pythias to work in conjunction with the other fraternal orders of the city, which have a combined total membership of more than five hundred, and a com mittee has been appointed to arrange for conferences with them. Fayette- vile needs a hospital badly, and the mated by MT. and Mrs. Stephen K. Stone on condition that a hospital be erected on it within a specified time, makes it imperative that something be done at Once

When a..Girl Harries.

Mothers weep when they give
their daughters away in marriage.
A mother may have striven hard
to make brilliant match for her
daughter; but she cannot repress
tears as the husband bears away
the girl. At the final moment the
mother regrets all that she has
done. She thinks only that the
daughter whom she loves, the
daughter to whose welfare she has
dedicated her life, the dear COM
panion and condfdant of many
years, belongs no longer to her.
These tears are natural, they are
inevitable; but for all they are
quite foolish. Instead of weeping
mother ought to be elated and
proud as her daughter turns from
the alter on the arm of a clean,
strong man, At that moment a
mother should have triumphant
sense of having done her work we'll
and JUSTIFIED her own life.
Nobody performs a finer or
nobler work in the world than the
mother who rears her sons and
daughters. Men may leave
monuments, books or buildings or
the memory of glorious deeds, but
there is no more excellent monu-
ment than honorable and useful
children fitted to carry on, accord
ing to their several talents, the
worlds work.
The mother, viewing her
daughter at the marriage altar,
should feel as the painter feels
when he beholds his canvas hung
on the walls of the saloon and
marked for the grand old prize; as
the man of letters feels when his
book is demanded by all discrimina-
ting men women; as the student
feel when he discovers a new truth
or the statesman when, bending
the world to his will, he accom-
plishes some great enterprise for
the peace and benefit of mankind.

Reciprocity.

A newspaper is in no sense a
child of charity 1t earns twice
over every dollar it receives, and
it is second to no enterprise in
contributing to the upbuilding of a
community. It's patrons reap far
more benefit from its pages than
its publishers, and in calling for
the support of the community in
which it is published it asks for
no more than in all fairness belongs
to it, though generally it receives
less. Patronize and help your pa

Ancestors May Have Had Horns

There appeared before Magi s.

Court recently, Thomas Toye
and his brother Edward, whom
the former accused of giving him

Edward explained that he had
brought Thomas over from Scot

some ofthe passage money. They
fought it out on Saturday in a
Third avenue restaurant.

said Edward, in broad Scotch.
How's that?" asked the magis-

Chinese As Soldiers.

One of the greatest assets pos
sessed by Chinese as soldiers is in
their marching power; another is
their ability to manage with the
smallest amount of transport, ow-
ing to the hardy outdoor life and
climate to which they are accus-
toned, and to the fact that they
live almost entirely on rice. Two
other points in their favor are that
they have no caste prejudices, and
have already learned the virtue of
discipline before they enlist.
Drunkenness is practically un-
known among them, but they have
the national failings of gambling
and opium smoking.
My own experiences leads me
to class more native soldiers as
grown-up children and perhaps
the most child-like is the China
man. All the traits which have
to be studied in dealing with child
rem are so many keys to open the
door to understanding their nature.
Most amenable to kindness, he is
at times quite capable of taking
advantage of it.
Firmness he not only appreciates,
but prefers; that is, once he real
ICES as boys say, that it is no use
to TRY on" Above all, he ad-
mires and will do anything for
those who he realizes are trying
invariably to be just to him.
Whether gratitude is to be set
down as a characteristic opinions
may differ.
My own is that he has it, and
would exhibit it more often did
not the bound conventions by
which Chinese unwritten law sur
rounds him make it sometimes
nearly impossible. Whatever
feelings may remain in the hearts
of those whose fate it was to go
through the unique experience of
serving his gracious majesty as
soldiers in the late Chinese regi-
ment Of infantry, l feel that I am
on sure ground in saying that the
memories of those who trained
them will long retain the happiest
recollectious of the trials through
which officers on-commissioned
officers and men passed together.

GORDON HOTEL, KINGWOOD.
BURNED THURSDAY MORNING
A Leading HosteIey Goes Up In
Flames.

On the morning of the July the
18th, at fifteen minutes to FIVE
O'Clock, night policeman George
Menear of Kingwood, discoved the
Gordon Hotel in that CITY to be
on fire, and within a short time
atterward the well-known hostelry
was a mass of ruins. The fire had
started from defective fuc in the
rear building, and when discover
ed by Mr.. Menear had gained great
Roadway. 1t fact, the night
Waterman perceived at once that
the inmates of the building
were In imminent danger, so he
raced to the hotel as quickly as
possible, alarmed the occupants
and helped to get them out. A
few moments afterward and alarm
became a general one and hundreds
of people hurried to the scene to
do what was possible. All the
guests, about twenty, the proprietor
and his family, made their escape
from the burning building without
accident, but number had narrow
escapes. The guests saved their
trunks, clothing, &c, but Mr..
Chas. w. Sandrigde, the proprie-
tor and family, lost all their be-
longings while assisting the guests.
The Gordon Hotel was the proper
ty of DR.. and Mrs. S. A. Pratt of
Kingwood, and was under lease to
Mr.. Sandridge. The latter gentle
man is we'll and favorably known
in this section. The Gordon Hotel
was one of the best known hotels
IN Preston county and had very
bright prospects for the season lust
beginning in the mountains.
There was four thousand dollars
insurance on the building. The
property was valued at fourteen
thousand, which included of course
the stables, which did not burn,
and the lots which are among the
most valuable in Kingwood.

OLD VIOLINS.
Reasons why Ancient Riddles Are
Better Than New.

Fabulous prices are sometimes
paid for old violins, and many an
enthusiastic musician would part
with his last dollar to possess one
of the masterpieces of Stradivarius
or Guarnerious or another of the
famous makers of a century or two
ago.
The questioned superiority of
these old and often battered instru-
ments has been variously ascribed
to the peculiar quality of the var
nish used in their construction, to
the elasticity of the wood employ
ed and to the ripening and improv-
ing effects of age and long use.
OF late years, however, much
credence has been given the sug.
gestion of an eminent authority
that the real cause of the super
iority of the old instruments is due
to peculiar warping of the wood
to higher arch, a buckling caus-
ed by the position of the "F"
holes and sound post.
1t might at first thought be sup
posed that the same effect could
be produced by giving an equal
arching to a new instrument, but
the effect, if attained, is not per-
manent, because with age the
arching increases until too great a
degree of rigidity is the result

New Laws.

With the ushering in of the new
fiscal year Monday, the Govern
ment put into effect a number of
new laws. Hereafter ten cents
worth of ordinary stamps in addi-
ton to the required letter postage,
with words, Special Delivery"
written across the envelope, will
be acceptable as a substitute for
the regular special delivery stamp.
The new ten dollar gold certificate
made its debut, bearing on the
face an excellent likeness of
Michael Hillegas. the first Treas
urer of the United States. Nearly
twenty thousand postal clerks and
more than twenty-four thousand
city letter carriers come in for a
share, as do also the railway mail
employees. The new immigration
laws went into effect. A reorgan-
ization of the artillery corps went
into effect, also the Department of
Commerce and Labor commenced
investigation into women and
child labor. The United States
will be allowed the right to writ
of error in the Supreme Court OF
the United States in certain GRIM

Slight to Flag Resented.

CHARLEsTOwN, w. Va, July II.
Gov. Dawson was required to in
tervene recently to prevent blood
shed at Fairmont, where Ameri-
cans took exceptions to conduct of
Italians at the royal Italian con-
sulate, G. D. Caldara, agent, when
they had flag raising exercises,
putting the flag of Italy above
that of the United States.
The consul wire to the governor
for protection, and action was at
once taken through Mayor w. A.
Arnett, of Fairmont, who, with
the entire police force, succeeded
in quoting the citizens.
Consul Caldara made a fervent
appeal to the governor, and it was
believed for some hours that the
State troops would have to send to
the scene of disorder.
The message from Mayor Arnett
indicated that Italians had become
unduly excited and that there was
no particular danger of riot be-
tween the Americans and the for
eigners. although the latter were
required to pull down the flag and
place that of the United States
above it.

Theory of Falsehood Expounded.

sermon of President Hadley of
Yale seem to class him definitely
with the old fogies. For example:
THE evil of a lie to society is
due to the fact that it undermines
mems confidence in one another,
so that they cannot do business to-
gether. The evil of a lie to the
man that tells it is something deep
er and more subtle than this. 1t
is due to the fact that he has got
momentary considerations out of
proportion to the demands of char
acter."
This theory of falsehood served
we'll enough in Prof. Hadley's
time. 1t will not do now, says
the New York Sun. A lie is not
what it used to be. To say You
lie" or You're liar" is merely
to say that you differ in opinion
from the speaker; that it is con-
venient for the purpose to repre-
sent that you misrepresent him;
that you have caught him where
the hair is short, so to speak; re-
called impolitically conversations
that he wishes forgotten.
You lie" You're a liar"
That's lie," these expressions
convey no opprobrium to the sec
ond person. They save the face
of the first person. They have be-
come part of the furniture of self
preservation. Society cannot be
injured by unlied lies. How can
there be evil in lie which every
body knows to be form, a SYM
Dol, an official means of protection
and common garniture of official
literary style?
If it be averred that, ifthe party
of the second part be no liar, the
party of the first part, who "hurls
the lie" at the former, must of
necessity be liar, the inevitable
answer is that there are no such
conclusions. There is, indeed,
vulgar or demotic truth, "a common
world in which truth-if anybody
can find it-and the lie may be
face to face or back to back. as
happens.
We cannot suppose that Presi-
deut Hadley means to waste the
time of his senior class on matter
so ancient and palpable. They
are modern boys. They must rise
and prosper by the most modern
methods. They cannot help not
icing that there is a higher and
hieratic standard of truth and false
hood; indeed, there is now an in
fallable source Of secular and NOR
al truth, which is calculated, like
the longitude, from Washington.
1t was grave error not to make
clear to those buds of promise at
New Haven the distinction be-
tween ordinary and esoteric or
official truth and falsehood. For
tunately their minds are fixed, as
are those of all decent Americans,
upon the soul fount and criterion.
They must see that when some, in
fact many, most respected and dis
tinguished citizens have been
branded" as liars without any in.
jury to their regulations, and with
constant increase of the glory OF
the brander, a lie, still so-called
undermines no confidence and is a
positive benefit land the branding
of it is a healthful exercise. -Ex.
