WHAT ADMIRAL EVANS SAYS.

Admiral Robley d. Evans, in COM
mand of the North Atlantic Squadron
of the United States Navy, paid Mrs.
Swanson great compliment in a con-
versation he had with Mr.. Joseph Bryan,
Oh this city, regarding the dinner to
Prince William, of Sweden, given by the
Governor of Virginia and Mrs. Swanson
at the Chamberlain hctel, on the evening
of August Goth.
The Admiral said thatit had been his
good fortune, at many times and a.
many localities, to attend state func-
tlons of all sorts. He had never at any
time, or in any place, been present at a
more perfectly appointed and beautiful
entertainment in every respect than
that which, arranged under Mrs. Swan
sons direction, represented the hospi-
table welcome given by the State of
Virginia, through her and the Governor.
to the gallant young naval officer and
prince from Sweden.
AS Admiral Evans experience has
been both wide and varied, and as his
sincerity equals his quickness of observa-
ton, such statement from him is the
greatest possible compliment to Mrs.
Swanson, and is appreciated on her
behalf by friends in Richmond and
throughout the whole State. e.-Times-

THE MAN WHO WINS.

The man who wins is the man who does,
The man who makes things hum and bun
The man who works and the man who acts
Who builds on a basis of solid facts;
Who hodoesn't sit down to NOPE and dream,
Who humps ahead with the force of steam,
Who hasn't the time to fuss and fret,
But gets there every time-you bet.
The man who wins is the man who wears
A smile to cover his burden of cares;
Who knows that the sun will shine again,
That the clouds will pass, and we need he rain.
Who buckles down to a pile of work
And nevergives up and never will shirk
Till the task is done, and the toll is sweet.
While the temples throb with red blood heat
The man who wins is the man who climbs
The ladder of life to the CHEEKY chimes
Of the bells of labor, the bells of toll.
And isn't afraid that his skin will spoil.
If he face that shine of the glaring sun
And works in the light till his task is done;
A human engine with triple beam
And a hundred and fifty pounds of steam.
Exchange.

KEEP A STIFF UpPER.LIp.

If you can get firmly into your heac
the fact that nothing matters as lone
as your spirit is not broken, and if you
can absolutely make up your mind that
you won't let anything break your
spirit, the world can't keep you down.
1t is worth while to stop at the public
library and get and read small book
OF short sayings, by philosopher of old
Greece, Epictetus. The librarian will
pick 1t out for you in a moment. You
will like reading it, if you have not read
1t already, and it will start in your
mind the kind of thought that will help
fit you for the worlds struggle. You
could not COW or scare or discourage
Epictetus. That is why his name lives.
If you can make up your mind not to
stay down you won't stay down. Moth
ing is really of any Importance in this
world except failure and disgrace. We
are all going to be dead in a short time
only second in the eyes of history.
Where you stand and live, many others
have stood and lived and vanished.
The wonderful thing is that we have
even for moment the chance to do
something. 1t is inconceivable that any
man should neglect it. The main thing
is to be working at something that YOU
really like, something that really arouses
your enthusiasm. That mysterious
thing we call the soul is billion times
stronger than the body. And when
the SOULS interested and directs the
body's work it pays no attention to the
body's complaining. The old christians,
simple-minded and ignorant people
many of them, could go into ring and
be torn by the wild beast absolutely hap
py. They had forgotten their bodies.
The man who can realize that failure
is disgrace, unless he has tried to the
last ounce of his power, will care little
for the knockdown blows of man, mon
key or fate.
One of the greatest names in the
history of unconquerable spirits is that
of George Washington. We Ameri-
cans are apt to think of him vaguely
as man victorious, defeating the Brit
ish, marching along triumphantly from
the beginning of the Revolution to his
own installation as President.
But, as matter of fact, George Wash
ington was always being beaten and
knocked down, always retreating. The
one thing that made him great was the
fact he wouldn't stay down. He went
from one defeat to another; his soldiers
lef thin, and it seemed almost impossible
to get more. He was disappointed ir
the morning and disappointed at night
but never discouraged. His greatness i:
shown in his ability to keep on and try
and struggle, and that ability to get VI
after endless knockdown blows was tn,
only thing that made him and made thi
Government.
When you read of Washington, thinl
of him from this point of view and yov
will find useful lessons in his life.-

BE A BOOSTER"

Were you ever down on your luck =?
Did you ever lean back in your chair
and find that you could not, by any exer-
ton of your will, pull those blue glasses
away from your eyes?
g. Then did you ever have the best fell
low in all the world, or the "best little
woman" lay his hand-or her's-on
your shoulder and say, ''This is the first
round; come, mix it hard and the fights
yours? Or Cheer up, boy; there's
better times coming?"
What was it? Sympathy.
Some men scorn sympathy. Can fight
their own battles. Don't want any soft
fools butting in on their troubles. Yes;
but these hard-shells aren't your best
friends.
1t takes just little bit of ''boost''
sometimes to set you on edge again.
And what is "'boost" but bit of
well-timed sympathy? It's the spice in
the sauce of life. Too much spoils the
sauce, but little of it helps nightly.
A lot of people complain every day
that they never had a chance; that
nobody ever gave them a lift. Perhaps

THE OTHER FELLOWS JOB.

The farmer looks discouraged,
He hates the rake and hoe;
He wants to try the city,
Where money seems to grow;
The other fellow gets the grain,
And leaves for him the cob,
So in his heart he coyets
The other fellows job.
The business man is worried,
Both ends will scarcely meet;
Last month he lost a million
Upon a deal in wheat;
He looks with longing to the farm,
And drops fearful sob;
1t seems to him like heaven
The other fellows job.
The doctor notes with envy
The lawyers bouncing roll,
And wishes he had studied
With Blackstone as his goal;
The clerk is far from satisfied,
He's sees the artists daub,
And cries, "Oh, how much better!'
The other fellows job.
'Tis quite the style to grumble
And sigh for other stars,
To wish we were transported
To somewhere, even Mars;
And if we reach the Happy Land
This thought the joy will rob,
For some will surely covet
The other fellows job.

WHY HE WAS NOT PROMOTED.
He watched the clock.
He was always grumbling.
He was always behindhand.
He asked too many questions.
His stock excuse was 81 forgot
He wasn't ready for the next step.
He did not put his heart in his work.
He learned nothing from his blunders.

He ruined his ability by half doing

He never dared to act on his own

PROSPERITY OF THE OYSTER.

The Washington Post gets off a good
one, growing facetious as the moments
fly. Read:
"For several weeks fleet more
numerous than the armada of Admiral
Bob Evans has been lowering about in
the Chesapeake and Delaware BAYS and
circumjacent waters, engaged in the
mysterious task of collecting oysters.
The labors of the feet have been reward
ed by the collection of the juciest, fat
test, and wholesomest oysters that ever
served as martyrs in a noble cause.
Oystermen of ancient lineage and wide
repute for veracity assert that the yield
this fall is of the finest character and
that the natural and planted beds were
never more prosperous. The univer-
salty of prosperity is aptly shown, in
fact, by the increased population of the
oyster beds and the high average phys
ical and moral qualities of their inhabi-
tants.
Three reasons are given by OYSTER
men for these happy conditions. First
of all, great credit is due to the Repub-
lican administration for all prosperity,
among oysters as well as among far
mers. The administration might have
worked havoc among both constituents
of American civilization if it had so
willed. It's forbearance entities it to
most of the credit for good times. Sec
ondly, the enemies of the oysters, such
as borers, drumfish, and the ferocious
icthy orampus diabolus, have not made
such inroads as in former seasons, pre-
sumably because of the decision of
the New York Court Of Appeals that
oysters are wild animals and therefore
not lightly to be provoked. Thirdly,
nature as well as the administration has
been kindly to the oyster by providing
large crop of sea grapes for his sus-
tenance. The sea grape is described
as an animal-vegetable, resembling a
grape in form, and full of a rich LIQUOR
peculiarly delectable to the oysters
palate. The sea grapes cluster in lus-
cious lunches over the oyster beds,
protecting the animals when they sleep
and furnishing them delicious nourish-
ment.
"Tawney September opens her glo-
rious eyes, therefore, to behold halcyon
conjunction of returning vacationist
and corpulent oysters. Nature is good.
indeed, to the National Capitol, when it
lures the wild oyster to make his lair in
the very shadow of the Capitol dome.
But the adept Washingtonian knows
only too well that nature has not done
everything. Man must do his share.
The adult, untAmed oyster is no mean
antagonist. The epicure will approach
him with wariness, and deal with him
on terms of dignity. The fierce Joy of
conquest will not mislead the bon vivant
into brutal treatment of his foe. There
will be no bombardment of tabasco.
horseradish, catsup, lemon-juice, and
other cruel and inhuman devices. The
true Washingtonian. after silent grace,
attacks the oyster with naked fork,
and with no other accompaniment than
an unconquerable yearning, deposits
him promptly but quietly in his predes-
tined tomb. Happy the oyster that
meets such fate? Happy the man
who knows how to do justice to the
oyster!"

Forsyth Co., N. C.
The three flies you mention are no
doubt, the cause of serious inconven-
ience to everybody; and worse than that,
the house fly and the mosquito are the
means of conveying diseases from one
person to another. The cattle flies
cause much suffering to cattle and great
ly reduce the yield of milk from cows
and hinder the making of gain in fat
stock on pastures. The house flies can
be greatly reduced in numbers if people
will only be careful to have no manure
heaps near the house - kitchen, scraps
or refuse kept in boxes or barrels near
the kitchen. The flies breed in the ma
nure heaps and the scraps, garbage
and refuse cause them to hang around
the doors and windows ready to get in
to the house at the first opportunity.
Manure heaps, if Of necessity near the
house, should be regularly sprinkled
with kerosene and ali scraps, refuse
and garbage should be DESTROYED at
once Mosquitoes breed in stagnant
pools of water or in rain water barrels.
These pools should be drained off if pos
sible- A little kerosene poured on the
surface of the water in the pools or
barrels will stop the breeding of the
mosquitoes. The trouble with the cat
tie flies can be greatly lessened by
spraying the cattle each day with fly
repellant. Send to the Experiment Sta
