FIGHT i STILL UNSETTLED.

While it is believed in Norfolk that
the revival of the committee on euler-
tainmeut to have charge of all social
events at the Jamestown Exposition will
be accepted by both Direclor-GeneraI
Barr and President Tucker, it is freely
admitted that the settlement Of the social
differences is yet to be finally consum-
mated.
Director-General Barr is out Of the
city. President Tucker declined to dis
cuss the matter today, declaring that he
had yet to be acquainted with the foil
meaning of the action of the directors.
The feeling is general that the COM
promise measure will not be entirely sat
isfactory to either side, but those engi-
neering the settlement are confident that
sufficient pressure can be brought to
bear or both officials to secure their
acceptance ard restore pesce.

The term printers devil as ap-
piled to the boy who does the Choir
ing around a printing Office. has a
peculiar romantic history. In
early days printing was styled the
"black art" and printers were
supposed to be in league with Sa-
tan. But it was in the time of
Aldus Minutius in Venice that the
matter took a serious turn. This
was the famous printer who first
published the Greek and Roman
classics. He took into his employ
a negro boy who was homeless on
the streets of Venice. The people
supposed the boy was an imp from
Satan and that he assisted in print
ing. Mobs collected about the
Office and were about to wreck it,
when the boy was brought forward
and exhibited showed that the boy
was flesh and blood, but he was
still called 1.-the printers deviP'
and every boy in his position ever
since has been so called.

self-reliance. Don't take too
much advice-keep at your helm

member that the great art of COM
handing is to take a fair share of
the work. Think well of your

small ones go to the bottom. Rise
above the envious and jealous.
Fire above the mark you intend to

in earnest. Be reliant. Be
generous. Be civil. Read the
papers. Advertise your business.

The "big head" is a popular
way of expressing common and
very frequent ailment. 1t arises
from various sources, but real
foundation is lack of sense. A
little money develops it in some
people; few good clothes gives ii
to others; a little Office, where a
chance is given to exercise a lit
tie authority, is often the cause of
it, while others get it having a lit
tie better job than their associates.
The truth is no sensible person
gets the "big head" The one
who became stuck up and stiff
necked from sources of any kind,
are weak in the intellectual caliber.

was late and the boy got the gal
leys mixed. The first part of the
obituary notice Of a peculiar citi-

and the next handful of type came
off galley describing recent
fire. 1t read like this: The pail
bearers lowered the body to the
grave and as it was consigned to
the flames there were few if any
regrets, for the wreck had been an
eye-sOre to the town for years.
Of course there was individual
loss, but that was fully covered by

If we would teach child to like
that which is good in reading, we
must establish the liking in his
early years. 1t is not enough that
we shall tell him in later days that
certain books are good and bid
him read them. When he is
grown up he will choose that
which he likes and our work is to
lead him to like good things. We
cannot begin too early. The
nursey tales should be those which
have fed the children of many an
age and cline. The song, the
hymn, the poem should be those
that are worth reading and recit-
ing. Let us make the beautiful
story and hymn a part of the
child's early environment. More
than this, let us remember that in
teaching the children to read good
books we are reinforcing them
against the ills of life. Accom-
panied by noble thoughts they
shall 60 to their drudgery and toll
with brave spirit, and made
melody in their hearts even when
their hands are rough with toll,
they shall dwell with the great
and good and then moments of lei
sure shall be rich because of these
