LANGUAGE. or THE EYEBROWS,
German Way Of Determining DISPOSE
tions and Temperaments.

The eyebrows, declares German
character reader, tell us far more
about the true inwardness of our dis
positions and temperaments than all
the rest OF the body Study the eye
brow formation of your friends and
YOU will find that where the indica.
tions are similar like personal char.
acteristics will declare themselves.
says the New York World Thus you
viii discover that the highly arched
eyebrow denotes sensitive tempera-
ment, although, contrary to the gener-
al opinion, they do not always adorn
persons of superior intelligence. Thin
eyebrows invariably show lack of
vitality and those Of the thick and
Dushy variety indicate the existence
IN their possessors of a highly vital
lied temperament together with great
powers of bodily endurance In WON
en- they denote unusual powers of
bodily and mental stamina.
When the eyebrows meet. says our
German friend, you may be certain
that sincere character Is expressed,
though here II Is interesting to re,
call incidentally, that every character
reader since the days of Aristotle has
declared that such eyebrows indicate,
unquestionably, d peevish disposition.
Long, dropping eyebrows, wide apart
on the forehead, indicate joyous dis
position and general amiability, If
the eyebrows are more lightcolored
than the hair of the head, a distinctly
weak vitality is denoted. Lightly
marked eyebrows. which lie high
above the nose, show a disposition
toward Incidence and a general weak
ness of character. Dark eyebrows.
which lend so strong and energetic an
expression to the whole face, are in
dicatiYe of patience.
Rarely will you find in persons of
sharp intellect eyebrows of light col
or, although the color does not count
so much as the shape. Red eyebrows
invariably indicate considerable ambi.
tion, The average eyebrow is a com.
bination of black and red.

They Simply Wouldn't Fight.

He was a poet; also he was very
very intoxicated.
Entering the restaurant, he looked
about him with malevolent eye. But
nobody seemed desirious to quarrel
with him, so he sat down, deeply dis
appointed. The waiter approached.
The poet regarded him with hostile
scowl. But all the waiter desired was
to know what the poet wanted. So
the muse worshiper gave his order and
shook his head sadly.
But the spirit of belligerency was
strong within him. Again he glanced
about. At last he fastened his eye
on young man sitting at a nearby ia.
BILE. Here, indeed, thought that poet,
is chance for a quarrel So, still fix
Ing the young man with a baleful
glare, he growled:

The young man absolutely ignored
the remark Completely crushed, the
poet gave up the struggle, consumed
his drink, and departed.

LUMBERMAN SUICIDES.
Geo. Bennett Grows Tired Of Life and
Drinks Laudanum.

Quite a sensation was produced
in this city this morning by the
suicide of George Bennett, a mid
dle-aged lumberman of this city.
It seemed that Bennett had been
drinking for the past few days
and being out of work temporarily
became despondent. He came
home this morning and told his
wife that he had taken laudanum
and intended to kill himself. He
then went upstairs to his room
and was later found by members
of his family In semi-conscious
condition with an empty two
ounce bottle labeled laudanum on
a table in the room. Drs. R. T.
Tayloe and E. M. Brown we're i'm
mediately summoned and did
everything possible to save him
but without success and he died
at 1890.
Mr.. Bennett came here from the
town of Edenton several years
ago. He leaves wife and sever
al children. Washington, N. G.,

It's Up to the Doctor.

In coversation with newspaper
man at Asheville a few days ago,
DR.. Hill, the new president of the
A. and M. College, being asked
about hazing, said the faculty had
always been rigidly opposed to
hazing but unless the student body
extended it's sympathy and gave
It's aid the faculty was, to GER
tain extent, powerless to suppress
hazing. Continuing DR.. Hill said
it was the purpose Of the faculty
to induce the two higher classes
the junior and senior classes-tc
take charge of hazing and deal
with all cases that arise, however,
under the supervision of the fac
ulty. 1.-The plan was tried after
the trouble last year, said the A
and M. president, ''and worked
very satisfactorily, several stu
dents being expelled"
All of which confirms The Land
marks first impressions - that
there is little reason to expect re-
form in the hazing matter from
DR.. Hill. Whenever the president
of a college admits that the fac.
ulty is powerless to control the
student body, the student body
may be expected to engage il
riotous conduct whenever the
toughs in the college feel SO dis
posed; and really it is poor rec
ommendation for a college presi
dent to say that: it means, if il
means anything, that he is MOI
the man for the job.-Statesville

Mr.. BRYAN DENIES IT.
SAYS He Did Not Sell Out to the Kerr Fac
tion. He DispOsesOot Van CIease.

The most important happening
at Fairview today was the en-
phatic denial given by William J
Bryan to a story printed in Pitts
burg saying that he had ''solc
out" to the Kerr faction of the
Pennsylvania Democratic party
in order to accomplish the defeat o1
Col. James M. Guffey for national
committeeman. The price alleg.
ed to figure in the transaction was
5000, 900 as campaign contribu.
tion. The charge is said to have
been made that Mr.. Bryan "made
good," but that Mr.. Kerr and his
supporters had not come forward
with the money. Mr.. Bryan de-
olared that he had never heard of
the offer or agreement and he sug-
gested that the proper persons to
consult were the members of the
committee on credentials who de-
cided the Pennsylvania contest.
Mr.. Bryan would not permit
himself to be drawn into a fnr-
ther discussion with James W. Van
Cleave, president of tho Manufac-
turers' Association, who came out
in the the press today with addi-
tional reasons why the business
men of the country should not
support the Democratic national
ticket. The decision was based
on the fact that Mr.. Van Cleave
had failed to defend his former
contentious but instead had shift
ed the discussion to other ques-
tions, Mr.. Bryan said.
Not many visitors came to the
Bryan home today. Some Of
those who did call, however, had
an experience not anticipated
A large blacksnake for time had
everything its own way and made
things uncomfortable. It made
several trips across the road lead
ing to the house, always as some
one was coming down the walk.
A searching party armed with
canes and clubs sailed forth
through the alfalfa in front of
the Bryan home, bent on destroy
ing the reptile, but it eluded pur-
suers.
