"And you will now
Mother says she'll need me more
than ever"
What do you mean? Didn't she
wish you to marry rich man that he
might provide servants to take care of
her children while she"-
please don't talk so, Harry. Mother
is a truly beautiful character. She
says Mr.. Cubberly is to give her con
troll OF his income. and she's going to
spend it all on the poor
Now, see here, Maud, this is the last
time I'm going to ask you to marry
me. Either fix it up with your mother
now or give me up"
This decision had its effect, and
Maud pleaded with her mother to be
permitted to marry the man of her
choice. The mother coldly told her to
do as she pleased. Harry turned the
tide in his own favor, and mother and
daughter We're married about the same
time.

New York Times: For business I'M

ment. The exploitation and looting of
railroad systems for private gain is
as unbusinesslike as the exploitation
and paralyzing of them for political
gain. The people, of the country ought
to pray with equal fervor to be deliv-
cred from the demagogues on the one
hand and from the manipulators on the
other. Both are dangerous.

IN disposing of the remainder OF the

filed in the last few months, and these
must be paid, and Monday, April s, 5

many times the amount the admins

of used and square pianos, few or

In order to have enough on hand to
satisfy the creditors of the estate, this
entire stock must be closed out. Not
an instrument or sheet of music must

Why ChlVaIry Is Waning.
Much is said and written about

Much is said and written about
the decline of Chivalry among
the masculine or stronger sex to-
wards the feminine or weaker
sex. Evidence of this, we are
told, is observed more particular.
ly by those who ride onthe trains
or street cars. Men do not get
up and offer their seats to the
aides as they once did. These
critics give only one side of the
truth. Any observant person
who patronizes the street cars or
the trains impressed by the lack
of manners of both women and
men in this particular. The
charge THAT man alone lacks
chivalry on these occasions is UNI
just in part and for the greater
part, We may SAY. Always in
a crowded coach it will be OBJ
served that two men usually &C.
cupy one seat. 1t is rare that
two women are in the same seat.
Each one, whether large or small,
usually has the entire seat to her
self. A Bohemian may goin and
take a whole seat and scatter his
baggage over another seat, but
this is the exception to the russs
The fellow who does this deserves
no apology only to say that he
just "hasl.'. got it." On theother
hand if a woman enters a coach
where two men occupy every seat
that is.occupied by men and every
woman in the coach has a seat
to herself, the man is the one to
get out. 1t is the rarest thing in
the world to see woman offer
to share her seat with another
woman. A case of the kind came
under the writer's observation the
other day. All the seats in the
coach of a southbound train from
Greensboro were occupied-two
men to a seat and one lady to a
seat. Among thepassengers to
get on at the first station was a
woman with several children.
Twice did she have to ask a
woman to be allowed TO share the
seat with her. Another thing
noticed about many Of the women
travellers. They will persist in
raising every window in thecoach,
no matter how cold it is or how
much dust comes in. We saw a
conductor threaten to put a lady
off the train before she would
consent to pull down the window
while the train was passing
through a tunnel in the mountains
along the Western North Carolina
railroad. Women DO not seem to
appreciate courtesies shown them
now as they used to and where
the man lacks chivalry is the ex-
ception rather than the rule. -
