CAT THAT EATS ASPARAGUS.
And CantaIoupe Too-A Sign Of the
Increased Cost Of Living.

Now when | was a boy began the
Brooklyn man in the approved reminis-
cent manner, the family cat worked
for its living by rustling for mice, or
if mice were scarce got a dole OF milk
and maybe liver occasionally. There
was no pampering to fancy tastes.
1T may be but another example OF
the increased cost OF living, but 1t
shocked me the other night 10 find
my wife feeding our cat asparagus. 1t
was new thing to me TO see cat
eat asparagus
Asparagus is rather a luxury for
humans. an das for cats-well, II
must be fore-taste of the cat heaven
if there is one. Now Pompey-thats 5
the cats name-didn5t eat asparagus
voraciously. as you would expect, but
daintily. My wife would hold out
stalk and he would bite off piece
and swallow il and then another bite
and so on until he got to the hard end.
when he stopped and looked inquir-
ingly for a fresh stalk TO come.
He got Il. too. In fact | saw him
eat five. all that remained of the fam
ny dinner II was lucky for the COOK
that she doesn't like asparagus.
My wife thought It was so cute or
Pompey. Yes. and she had discovered
that he ate cantaloupe and that was

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Kisses are loves assets. quarrels
its liabilities.
A man doesn't demand common
sense from a woman; he is satisfied
with incense.
The music OF the spheres isn't loud
enough TO drown the din of some mat
rimonial squabbles.
The best way TO cure a mans love
is TO return it with interest-and then
watch him lose the interest.
A man seldom escapes temptation
because he is so careful not TO let
any interesting temptations escape
him.
Marriage is like twirling a baton.
turning a handspring or eating with
chop-sticks; it looks so easy until you
try it.

and evening kiss as one of his daily
chores.

AS soul-companion, the main diff
ference between a bulldog and a hus.
band is that the dog can't falkland

Some men are born for marriage.
some achieve marriage; but all OF
them live in the deadly fear that mar.
riage is going TO be thrust upon them.
Success in love consists not so
much in marrying the one person who
can make you happy as in escaping
the many who could make you miser-

two plus a baby equals family; two

In MemOrIam.

In sad but loving remembrance OF
my dear husband, Samuel O. Trader.
who died July 18th, 1908, aged rs
years
1t has been four long months ago to-
day.
Since my dear husband passed away,
He said cannot stay with thee,
But you can come to me.
How I long to see his face,
Long to hear his voice again,
Hear the words fall from his lips,
How l long but long in vain.
This world holds nothing for me now,
/ do not wish to stay;
l long to lay beside your form,
Wrapped in the same cold clay.
Oh, how hard it was to stand,
BY the bed in which he lay,
And see deaths cold hand,
Take my husband from me away.
1 miss you oh, my dear,
Tears will begin to fall,
come to my Saviour,
Who kindly wipes away them all.
The day will come when 1 shall see
his face and hear his voice.
His loving wife,
Carrie F. Trader.

The Methodist Conference of Virginia
assembled in its 126th annual session
Wednesday morning in Epworth
Church, Norfolk, with Bishop Alphens
w. Wilson, of Baltimore, as presiding
officer. The session will last for week
or more and promises to be one of the
most interesting in the history of that
great body of Christian people. The
relation of the Randolph-Macon educa-
ton system to the church, as has been
predicted, will enter largely in the pro-
ceedings of the conference and the re-
port of the first days session show that
the fight on the question has begun and
the most heated debate, the body has
ever held, may be expected unless
some plan is formulated to reach aquick
solution that will be satisfactory to the
conference. Many other interesting
matters will engage the attention of
the body but none of more interest,
perhaps, than the changes to be made
among pastors who have served their
four years time limit in the different
fields.

The eighty-ffth session of the Baptist
General Association of Virginia opened
in the First Baptist Church, of Rich
mond, on yesterday and with an esti-
mated attendance of 800 delegates and
double as many visitors, by the local
committee of arrangements. The SEES
sion will be an important one, with
educational matters the chief topic of
discussion, the campaign for greater
Richmond College being the largest un-
dertaking now before the Association.
The various statistical reports, that
will be made during the sessions, will
be of great interest to those in attend
ance but the matter which will COM
mand most earnest attention and may
provoke a spirited debate is the propo-
sition made by the Portsmouth Asso-
citation looking to the consolidation OF
the Sunday School and Bible Board with
the State Home Mission Board on the
ground that the present Sunday School
Board is not as effective asst should be.
The Association represents 104O white
Baptists congregations in Virginia.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IA, 1908.

Senator John w. Daniel, according
to q recent interview, is jubilant over
the good news that has come to the
South in several days of late, summed
up by him as follows:
"First-The decision of Judge Goff
as to the constitutionalty of our con-
stitution, which we hope and believe
will be the finale of that topic.
"Second-The announcement OF the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
limited States confirming the validity
of the Kentucky statute that secures
complete separation of the white and
black races in schools and colleges al
The will of the State. This is advanta-
geous to both races.
"Third- and by no means least, the
letter of President Roosevelt to Wynd-
ham R Meredith, of Richmond, stat
ing in clear and positive terms the con-
clusion of interference with the suffrage
of the South. 1t is a proclamation
which does credit to the head and heart
of the President and may be regarded
as the official announcement OF the close
of the era that began with the first CUR
of the civil wal"
These things, in his view, give as
surance not only of peace, but OF gooc
will to the South, and he sees in all OF
them much of far reaching and per
manent benefit to the whole country
He is right, of course, in his views as t(
the court decisions but the past recorC
of the President does not justify the
conclusion reached by the Senator
"that interference with the suffrage Of
the South" is a thing of the past, either
with the President or his party, If sucf
interference is necessary for them Il
score party victory. The Crumpackel
bill introduced in the last session o.
Congress to defeat the campaign pub
lcity bill'' is too fresh in the memor!
of the Southern people to accept tn
ROSY views of the Senator as altogethe
correct in this respect.
