A Word About Clothes.
(Hezekiah Butterworth.

Do clothes make boy? One time
l knew a boy who was made by his
clothes. will tell you. He had
chum at school whose parents were
poor, and who was obliged to dress
coarsely and plainly. He could have
offered his intimate friend better
clothes, but that would have wound
ed the heart that he loved. What
should he do? His friend dressed
coarsely, but neatly. He resolved
that he would wear exactly such
clothes as his friend could afford and
dress as nearly like him as possible.
His parents liked his sense of broth
erly kindness and his true heart. The
act was lesson. 1t taught him the
nobleness of self-sacrifice. AS he
grew older he seemed to think but
little of his own Qualifications true
mark of gentleman. He loved 9TH
ers more than himself. This caused
him to be beloved, and when at last
the people of his city and state want
ed a man for a position Of the very
highest trust and honor, they select
ed him. Clothes make nothing but
clothes as rule; but they show
character, and a ten-dollars suit may
be used to express as much character
as one that cost fifty dollars. 1t is
neatness and care, and taste, that
make good clothes; they also make
boys-not the tailors. Do you see
the principle?

The "Dream Month";"
(The Commoner.)


October is called the dream month
of the year. The promise of seed
time and harvest has been fulfilled,
the fruits of field, garden and forest
gathered and garnered, and the hus-
bandman feels that nature has re-
paid him for the long, hard months
Of toll that lie behind. Then come
the still days, the golden sunshine,
the hazy, smoke-tinged atmosphere,
the balmy airs scented with the
pungent fragrance Of ripened fruits
and foliage. Falling leaves strew
the pathways and choke the streams,
while tree and shrub and vine are
clothed with brilliancy of coloring
no painters brush can rival. The
porgeousness and glory of the sun
rises and sunsets are wonderful, and
neither brush, pen nor word can i'm
nrison their subtleties of tint and
shade. Woods parties are now at
their best, and the patter OF the rip,
ened nuts, the purple OF the wild
grapes and the late fruits that In
vite the frost touches for ripening,
ali invite the family to outings, the
pleasures of which no other season
of the year can rival.

Are Babies Neral?

eve do not expect paternal feel
ings in a child Of five,' says DR..
Woods Hutchinson in October Wom-
ans Home Companion. "Why,
then, should we expect any other of
those race-regarding impulses which
we term 'morality?' Even to appeal
to the better feelings of child of
eight or ten is often almost as IRA
tional as the celebrated apostrophe
of the emotional irish barrister, who
in the fine frenzy of his peroration
whirled upon the judge with the
thrilling appeal. SIR, was you iver
a mother?' To appeal to a child's
better nature. while excellent, in
moderation, often does little more
than make a hypocrite out of him
before his time.
He has got your hair, and his
mothers eyes and voice, and some
of your little tricks of manner-and
temper-now, and he is just as safe
to develop your superb self-control
and civic devotion and consideration
for others if you will only give him
time-and set him a good example.
Meanwhile preaching to him that he
should possess these qualities will
expedite matters precious little, and
unless backed up by example, not at
all. Remember that life and growth
Of all sorts are but response to en-
vironment, and new responses can
only occur as opportunity is afforded
for them"

youths Companion.)

Among the returning Americans
who landed, one day in September,
from an Atlantic liner. was woman
who had spent eleven weeks in Eu-
rope. Hers had been a memorable
journey, for it had shown her how
much-or, rather how little-bag-
gage woman need carry when 60
ing abroad.
Chance promoted the discovery.
Starting somewhat unexpectedly
from her Southern home, she was
delayed on the way. She had no
time in New York to provide herself
as she had planned, and she sailed
with nothing but her suit case.
Her entire equipment, including
what she wore and what she packed
in the suit case; was one brown silk
Eton dress, one brilliantine petticoat,
one silk shirt-waist, one lace waist,
four white linen waists, one small
hat, one pair of tan shoes, three
union suits, one brown veil, six
handkerchiefs, SIX collars, three pairs
of gloves, an umbrella and rain
coat.
This, in her opinion, was all that
was needed for one who travelled to
see rather than t5 bk seen. yet ac-
cording to those who did see her
when she landed, she was pleasant
to look upon, even after her outfit
had had more than two months
wear.

HIGHER STANDARD.
Many Advertisements Turned Down
Which We're Formerly Accepted.
(American Press.)

(American Press.)
"You may be surprised to learn"
said Mr.. Sunman, literary editor of
the Chicago Record-Herald. in an ad-
dress in that city on newspaper work,
that the process Of editorial selec-
ton is applied to advertisements al
most as rigidly as to news matter.
The last few years have seen mem
orable change in this respect. The
paper with which | am best ac-
quainted has within the last year re-
fused hundreds of columns of ads.
meant to exploit various get-rich-
quick schemes. In doing so it de-
liberately sacrificed many thousands
Of dollars.
These advertisements were most
ly respectable looking announce
ments of large gold mining and SINH
lar enterprises which were pretend
ing to be about to pay 20 or 40 or 100
per cent dividends to those who in
vest in the stocks thus offered for
sale. Many reputable papers print
ed them, but any experienced bust
ness man could see that such prom
ises were false on their face and that
the enterprises were merely genteel
swindling schemes for Turing away
the money of unsophisticated inves-
tors. So the ads. were refused at
the counter, as they deserved to be.
Likewise there is a large class of
obnoxious medical advertising that
cannot get into our best papers at
any price. Questionable announce
ments of midwives and self styled
specialists, where there is reason to
suspect malpractice are refused, even
though they consist of nothing but
the bare name and address of the ad-
vertiser. In short, the honorable
newspaper tries to protect the bank
account as well as the morals of the
homes into which it goes. This idea
of loyalty to the interests and tastes
of its readers has come tc be the
guiding aim of good newspaper.

What Might Be.

If every one was kind and sweet,
And every one was jolly,
And every heart with gladness beat,
And none were melancholy;
If none should murmer or complain,
And every one should labor,
In useful work and each were fain
To help and cheer his neighbor,
Then what a blessed world 'twould
For you and me, for you and me.
And if, perhaps, we both should try
That glorious time to hurry;
If you and l, just you and l,
Should smile and never worry;
If we should grow, just you and |,
Kinder and sweeter hearted,
Perhaps in some near by-and-by.
The good time might get started.
Then what a blessed world 'twould
be
For you and me, for you and me.

HEaVEY AUGUST RAINS DAMAGED SOIL,
Damage Over Half Million Dollars nv
Erosion During Rains.
Joseph Hyde Pratt. State Geolocist)

Inc heaVy rams during the last
OF August not only did an enormous
amount Of damage to crops, bridges.
railroads, and roads, but, according
to an estimate made by W. W. Ashe.
Forester of the North Carolina Geo
logical Survey, the upland farming
lands of the middle portion of the
State have been washed to an ex-
tent of more than half million dol
lars, the damage being heaviest in
those sections where the country
was most hilly and the rainfull most
concentrated.
This estimate, which is based on
the amount of soil which was shown
to be in the water of the rivers dur
ing the floods, indicates that more
than 100000 tons of soil were wash
ed from the hills Of the Piedmont
during that one week of rain. About
one-ffth of the solid matter which
causes the muddiness of the water
during floods is humus, which is
washed chiefly from the hillside
farms. At two dollars q ton, which
is probably less than the cost of re-
placing it, the loss to the farmers of
the State only in the impoverishment
of their soils exceeds s50O,OOO. This
is loss which is much underesti-
mated Or entirely overlooked by the
farmer because it is a loss which
takes place SO constantly. In the ag-
gregate, however, it is not so enor-
nous that it is one of the chief, if not
the chief reason for the poverty of
so many of the red clay hillside
farms, and it is keeping them de-
pleted Of the humus or manural
portion Of the soils. This is loss to
which northern soil are not nearly so
subject on account Of the lighter
rainfalls and their more general
character.
The rainfall at Raleigh and at many
other points in middle North Caro-
lima was II inches in four days; at
points in upper South Carolina Is
inches fell i'll two days; while more
than inches fell in one day at many
places. Such concentrated precipi-
tation, tropical in character, does
not occur in the farming regions of
the northeast. 1t follows that if the
farmers of the South wish to pre-
serve their hillside lands they must
not only use every possible means of
preventing erosion which are used
at the North but additional means
as well; not only deep blowing and
cover crops but terracing as well;
not hillside bitches, but level ter
races. There should be no land lying
idle without crop of some kind on
it to protect the soil. All land which
is not in cultivation should be pro-
tected from washing by keeping it
in timber.
In North Carolina there are about
100000 acres of idle farming land
which should be planted in timber if
for no other than to prevent it from
washing, but the timber will make a
good investment besides, as it will
be growing all the time without any
cultivation, and will soon be large
enough for posts, barn poles, and
even small saw logs. For any in
formation about how to plant old
quilted fields in young trees, write
the State Geologist, Chapel Hill, N.
