THE BEAUTY OF VENEZUELA.
II is Of a Type all Its own in Contrasts
and Changes.

The beauty of the country is the
first and most lasting impression. To
catch glimpses at every turn In the
valleys of cloudy peaks, or when on
the mountain side to see through the
limpid air valley after valley between
the protecting hills, to breathe this
pure air, to know that summer is al.
most perpetual-he is only half a man
who does not for n moment forget the
needs Of civilization in the intoxica-
ton OF primitive nature, The lowell
ness of Venezuela Is something differ
ent from that of the Andean ranges
farther west and south; y is more
tropical, and the mountains do not rise
to the height in which the senses are
stilled by grandeur; nor Is there found
so near the equator that ruggedness or
gloom or solemnity which is one fea'
ture of the Rockies. II Is n beauty oil

ioyed most when we know that man
has his abode there. The Andes, the
Alps or the Rockies are bold and aus.

meant for them; but such contrasts

real importance on the earth.-The

SELDOM TURN OUT HAPPILY.
Writer Condemns Secret Marriages
and Engagements.

That the course of true love never
did run smooth is a popular belief
But 1t is a great pity that the dangers
and pitfalls Of clandestine courtships
and secret engagements are not made
the subject Of a proverb.
When two people become engaged
or marry one another sub rosa the ex-
pertinent usually turns out badly. II
man comes to a girl and says, Il love
you and want to marry you, but 1t
must all be kept quiet" there is some
thing wrong somewhere. II could not
love thee, dear, so well, loved not
honor more" Is sentiment girls
should bear in mind II man asks
them to become engaged without an.
nouncing the fact.
A clandestne courtship or secret
marriage must be accomplished by de-
ceit, subterfuge and untruth. And
these things do not lay the foundation
of happiness. No circumstances or
conditions can possibly exist to justify
q secret engac ent or marriage.
True love creates courage. And a
man and woman who really care for
one another would shrink from the llv-
ing lie which each must assume when
posing before the world as free or I'M
fettered, when in reality they are
bound by an engagement or marriage,
If a couple cannot come out into
the open and declare their attachment
~ &c far hnttor tn mart and saw good
by" There is no luck or happiness
to be gained from clandestlne love-

Senator William Warner of Mis-.

200. There are two reasons for Mr..
Warmers large mail In the first place
he is the first Republican senator Mis-.

Besides that, Mr.. Warner has served

How to Get Rid of Prejudices.

Troy, n. Y, Times.
There is nothing like getting well
acquainted to knock erroneous no.
tions out Of peoples minds. At least
two-thirds Of the complications Of the
past which led to serious disagree
ment if not to open hostility have been
traeeable to the differences due to
distance and lack of close intercourse.
Modern methods, which by means Of
steamship and cable lines are bring
ing everybody into touch, are steadily
doing away with causes Of misunder-
standing. Intelligent and unbiased
men and women, no matter what their
own beliefs, political, religious and So
cial, who travel about the world and
learn to know the natives Of other
regions, have most Of their prejudices
removed and find that there is great
common humanity where all can meet
on fairly equal terms.

In an article in the Columbia State

Superintendent: Simpson to the I'M

the service on the Southern between
Columbia and Greenville, and Mr..
Simpson calls attention to the tact
that 2art of this line has already
been equipped with heavy rails, and
he says he expects to have the whole
line 50 equipped within the next
twelve months. The people all along
the line appreciate the improved pas
senger service which the Southern
has given them, and they will be de-
lighted to know that the work Of lay
ing the heavy rail will be pushed to
completion.
Great Improvement has been made
by the Southern in its service between
Columbia and Greenville, within the
past several months. Where former
ly we had two passenger trains each
way day we now have three. and
tie trains are running we'll on sche-
dule time.
The middsy trains each way are
carrying the first regular Pullman
ever operated through Nowberry, and
we hope it will be we'll patronized, so
that the road will feel encouraged to
keep on this chair car, and to make
yet further improvements in the SER
vice.

ing to build the depot at Dyson,
which the people Of that community
have asked for.

Stirred His Fathers Pride.

Willie was regular mothers boy,
writer in the Chicago Tribune de-
clares. He was so devoted to. her that
he could not bear to have any one else
do things for him, not even his indul-
gent father. One night he called his
father to his bedside.
"Papa,'' he said, twill you please
to bring me glass Of water?'
His father went for the water,
glowing with pride at the unusual
summons, and when Willie had taken
his drink the parents curiosity got
the better Of him.
"Why," he asked, "did you call
me tonight, instead Of your mother9'
"Oh, there's been a dressmaker
here today, and I was afraid there
might be some pins or needles on the
floor to get into mama's feet,' re-
piled Willie, innocently.

Missouri has recently passed a law
authorizing farmers to make a trade
mark Of the name Of their farms. This
is GOOD law, and it. embodleS a @ood
idea. If farmer is successful IN rals-
inc a special kind Of fruit or gram
or crop Of any sort it Will be worth
something to him to have the name
Of his farm registered and serve as
a. permanent advertisement of his
products. There is no reason why
such a trademark should not be as
valuable to the farmer or frult-@roW-
er or market gardener or dalry-tar-
mer as his trademark is to manutac'
turer or merchant. It Is the custom
in the Old World to name estates, ano
in Scandinavian countries the name
of the estates becomes part OF the
name Of the family. The value OF the
custom of naming farms and estates
has been shown in many cases where
certain products. as wines, have oe'
come famous under such names. The
example of Missouri is one that nigh?
be we'll followed throughout the coun'
trv.-Columbia State.
Such a law would be Of great ad'
vantage to farmers who take pride II
