The Monroe Journal of yesterday,

The Monroe Journal of yesterday,
says editorially:
1t is stated that Mr. C. c. Moore Of
Charlotte, president of the North Car
olina Cotton Growers Association. has
received no pay for his services in q
long time, and has even been paying
his travelling and other expenses out
of his private funds, notwithstanding
the fact that he has been giving all
of his time to the work al the earnest
request of the association AS a re-
suit of this, valuable property which
Mr.. Moore owns in the suburbs of
Charlotte is to he sold under mortgage.
This looks mighty bad for the cotton
association"
The Journal has made truthful pre-
sentation of the situation and that 1t
is so, is very much to the dfscredlt OF
the Southern Cotton Association Since
he was made president of the North
Carolina division, Mr.. Moore has done
more real work for the associst1on
than any man in the south. His work
too, has not been Of the kid glove sort
but has been of a kind exacting alike
upon physical endurance and pocket
book. That he has been giving his
entire time TO the interests OF the as
sociation is known of all people, but
that he has been giving it not only
with practically no remuneration from
the association, but at sacrifice OF
his personal funds, was not so general

A fve-room cottage that is con-
venient and that looks neat and COM
Portable is not easily planned. There
are many difficulties in the way of
laying out living rooms and bedrooms
on one floor. Cottage house plans
have brought grey hairs to the heads
of many architects and a good deal
of comfort to the owners after they
are built and paid for.
Formerly families were not so hard
to please as they are at the present
time; in fact, hundred years ago
the most fastidious and exclusive of
our forefathers thought they were
quite comfortable in a log cottage
having two rooms and a loft. The
front room answered for parlor, sit
ting room, bedroom and general liv-
ing room, while the kitchen did serv-
ice for general work, comprising cook
ing, washing and storage for wood,
vegetables and many other things. A
little round bottom table in one cor
ner did service for a dining table.
This table often was made by split
ting a log in the middle and inserting
lengths cut from saplings for legs in
the rounded side.
Since the good old times, however,
cottage houses have passed through a,
wonderful evolution. A little i'm
provement can be traced through
each generation, until the present
plans offer as much comfort and
privacy as a two-story house. Our

boomerang effect The thing hits
back Man needs but little here be-
low, nor needs that little long," but
mans needs and his wants are two
very different propositions
This little cottage is 33 feet wide
and it is 46 feet 6 inches long, with
the porches extra. The wall is laid
up to a good height above ground
You have a much more comfortable
feeling in cottage If it is well set
up; in fact, the bottom of the windows
should be higher than a mans head,
then you feel as though you might
leave the window open without seeing
some investigating tramp crawl in
when you are not looking.
1t is much easier to improve the
outside appearance of cottage house
than any other style of habitation. A
cottage lends itself to a decorative
scheme in a very easy manner. 1t
may be surrounded with vines, trees,
flowers OF shrubbery in almost any
kind of profusion and look well every
time This is no reason, however, for
planting the grounds in promiscuous
manner. 1t is easy enough to lay out
a plan and work to it.
There should be an expanse of lawn
either in front or at the side that is
entirely free of flowers OF shrubbery.
Nothing but nicely mown grass has
any business in the main lawn. There
may be borders of plants and borders
of flowers next to the house and along
the fences. There may be fruit bushes
and fruit trees if the lot is big enough,
the more the better, until they crowd
each other, but there should be sys-
tenn in it all. On a large town or vii
lage lot a great deal of fruit may be
grown in the back garden.
1t helps the general appearance of

"Mind Your P,s and o,s.r

There are two accounts of the origin
of the expression Mind your P's and
Q's.' According to one, it arose from
the early method used in public houses
of charging customers for the amount
of beer they had consumed on credit
P stood for pint, @ for quart, and as
the scores were settled weekly, it was
necessary for the topper to watch his
P's and Q's.
According to the other story, the
phrase owes its origin to the difficulty
the printers devil has experienced
from time immemoria1 in distinguish
ing between the lower case P's and Q's
of the Roman type The similarity
between the two letters is SO great,
particularly when they are reversed
as in the process of distributing. that

warned by the foreman to mind his

HER FRIEND, THE ENEMY.
How Good Natured Irish Soldier Did
Little Woman's Washing.

The southern woman'S reduction to
poverty and mental tasks mortified
many a manly bluecoat, but few had
the working gallantry of a big-hearted
Irishman of whom the author of
Dixie After the War" tells.
He caught delicate Georgia woman
struggling with the family washing.
She was scarcely more than a girl.
although a wife and mother, and had
been reared in luxury. Ii looked as
if she would never get those clothes
clean. For one thing, when she tried
to wiring them they were streaked
with blood from her hands and arms.
She had peculiarly fine and tender
skin.
Faith" said Pat. IAN what is ut
you're thryin' to do?"
go away and let me alone!"

garrmints, they'll be that dhirty-"
60 away"
Sure, me choild, if yell jis' shtep

putin me to tn Inconvenience"
He was about to pick her up in his
mighty hands. She moved and
dropped down, swallowing a sob.
Sure, an ut's as good a washer
woman as liver wore breaches am"
said Pat sAn' that's what I've
learned in tn army"
In short order he had all the clothes
hanging snow-white on the line, and
before he went back to camp he cut
enough wood for her ironing.
I'm yer Bridget livery wash-day
that comes round he said, as he
swung himself of.
He was as good as his word This
good-natured soldier did her washing

Rise of TWO street Waits.

The accidental meeting in Kansas
City a few days ago of two ex-gov-

to have fair start in the world. John
Brady was. as he says. "a little Mick
with no home but the streets, and

They were friends Sent as homeless
boys to an institution on the island"
they heard an official read a letter
from another waif who had been sent
to Indiana The letter told of the won
ders of farm life and impressed them
so deeply that they clambered aboard

years he was elected governor. Brady

Identification laos.

The war department has adopted a
system of Identification tags for SOL
diers-, Similar tags have been in use
in the British army for years The
British tag contains simply number
which corresponds to name on the
service books and the regimental rolls.
During the Boer war the tag numbers
of those killed and wounded were
often published before the department
had identified the numbers With the
names, and friends of a man who
knew his number scanned the cold
figures. SO living to whoever could In.

AT FORT DoNELsoN.
Old Soldier Gives Interesting Account
of His First Battle.

My first experience on a battlefield
was at Fort Donelson. My regiment,
the seventy-sixth Ohio, had left it's re-
cruiting camp at Newark, O., on Feb.
8, 1862, and about the 18th, think, we
reached Padueah, writes an old soldier
IN the National Tribune. We went
down the Ohio river from Cincinnati
on transports, and arrived at Paducah
in the evening, but did not go ashore.
l was officer of the guard that day and
night, and just before daylight a trans
port came alongside and tied up to our
boat, and lieutenant jumped aboard
and greeted me with the first informa-
ton that had reached Paducah of the
capture of Fort Henry. That day sew
eral transports, heavily laden with SOL
dIers and army supplies, our regiment
included, and also a number of gun
boats, went up the Cumberland river
to make On attack on Fort Donelson.
We 1ance6 some two or three miles
below the fort on Friday afternoon,
the 18th, and Immediately marched
mile or so to the rear of it. We halted
frequently, SO that our progress was
slow. We halted once by the cabin of
one of the natives, and I guess they
must have thought there was no doubt
ABOUT our De1nS genuine Yankees, Tor
we certainly asked them enough ques-
tons to satisfy them on that score,
and we had no doubt about their being
genuine sOutherners, for their replies
were well supplied with '@we-uns' and
@'yo-uns." When we reached our posi-
ton in the line it was nearly shutdown,
snow falling and pretty cold. Men
were detailed from our regiment to go
out on the picket line. 1 remember
how 1 pItied those poor fellows who
had to stand out in the cold snow
storm all night in front of the enemy.
We had been playing soldier at Camp
Sherman, Ohio, for the two or three
months previous, but now it was COM
ing right down to real business.
After standing in line fully two
hours, shivering and stamping our
feet to keep them warm, at last we
were ordered to bivouac a short dis
tance in the rear, behind hilltop from
the enemy, and to make as little light
as possible, as it might expose our
location to the confederates and en-
able them to treat us to some shells,
perhaps. What would a good many of
the boys have given to have gone home
to supper and to bed that night?
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1907-01-19

When we broke ranks we were not
long in getting some fires started, for
the cold annoyed us more than the
fear of the enemy's shells, for we had
stood in the ranks so long that we
were pretty badly chilled. When we
came to know more about the shells,
however, we were not quite SO indif-
ferent- Some, however, did not try to
build fires, but rolled their blankets
around them and lay down together in
groups like a lot of pigs, while others
who had picked up dead branches and
made fires got out their tincups and
made coffee before trying to sleep.
For my own part, 1 was stakeholder
in fire with about dozen of the
boys, and we had our hot coffee, and
after sitting and standing around the
fire until after midnight I wrapped my
blanket about me and lay down as
close to the fire as thought prudent,
and soon fell asleep. Before morning
one of the boys gave me jog and
shouted in my ear, Lieut.. Burt your
blanket is afire,' and raising myself.
1 found hole burned in it large
enough to put my arm through; but
fortunately the fire had not reached
my coat. There was some firing on
the picket line through the night.
BY ten o'clock the next morning or
