The Fear of Age.

Why do so many women regard
age with such alright? Viewed
from the vantage ground of youth, it
seems to them that the end of youth
means the end of love, and to many
women the end of love is even more
appalling than the end of life. They
forget that the love which depends
only on youth and beauty is as likely
to take to itself wings in the heyday
of life as later. Nothing is potent
enough to hold an emotion as evans
cent and unstable as thistledown.-

of my audience by insisting upon the
now exploded theory that there are
certain colors exclusively dedicated
to the brunette and others the sole
possession of the blonde. When
crude dyes only were obtainab,e. 1t
was perhaps necessary to say to the
dark woman, For you there must
exist only yellow and pale blue
and to the blonde. You must look
upon no other color save green and
light red"

of every dye; contemplate. too. the
changes that are rung on the defini-

which women are usually good judges

Y For a ramble far and wide
Catch the breezes
Fresh and strong
Down the mountain
Swept along
For we never mind the weather
When we two are side by side.
But my friend is sometimes quiet,
And I've caught his clear brown eye
Gazing at me,
Mute, appealing
Telling something
Yet concealing.
Yes, he'd like to talk Well, try it
"Bow, WOW, wow" and that's his cry!

Should you be unlucky enough to
have your fingers, nose or feet frost
bitten do not as you value your fu-

Rub the places with cold water or
snow as quickly as possible, and after
that numb sensation is over bathe

Consumption From Cigarettes.

The yellow stain on the cigarette
smokers fingers is not nicotine, as
usually supposed, but creasote, a
deadly poison, produced from burning
the rice paper used in cigarettes.
This paper burning without flame, al
ways produces creasote. which is in
hailed by the smoker, and gradually
poisons the system, and finally sets

COMMENTING ON HIM.

The Hartford (Conn.) Times has it's own opinions about the lately devel- oped comradeship between Roosevelt and Hearst, and some of its comments thereon are interesting. 'Mr. Roose- velt," it says. lis not a man to let personal prejudice stand in the way of recognition of what he regards af highly moral and patriotic behavior. It is true, of course. that two years ago he delivered through the mouth of Mir. Root at Utica a powerful de- nunciation of Mir. Hearst, attempting to hold him responsible for the as- sassination of President Mckinley (the most fortunate thing that ever hap pened for MT. Roosevelt), but since that time MT. Hearst has done much to vindicate himself in the Presidents estimation. He has obtained and pub lished the damaging private letters of the vice president of the Standard oil Company to Senator Foraker and other SASAAAOS OA bhS 4NoOs0NSlL auulAnIStTd- tion. and he has used his newspapers in New York. Chicago. San Francisco and other cities with much power against MT. Bryan, besides financing the Presidential campaign of another candidate for the Presidency. MT. Hisgen. the Massachusetts petroleum dealer. Even should it appear ulti- mately that the cost of buying the Archbold letters from the thieves who stole them and the cost Of the In- dependence League campaign were all defrayed out of the Republican cam paign fund, and that Mir. Hearst mere ly acted as the agent of Mir. Roose- welt and MT. Hitchcock throughout the campaign, the manner in which he has done his part in insuring the cleo tion of Mir. Taft and the defeat of MT. Bryan entities him to receive marked consideration and social hon. ors at the White House, where civic valor and devotion to principle are ever the watchword of one of the most ardent reformers that ever Iived.'

A MoDEL soUrHERNrR GONE.

Tn the death of Mir. Joseph Bryan, of Richmond. the whole South sus- tains a great loss. He was one of the first men of this section in all of the essentials.
 He was a man of unusual business capacity. who had imagination and vision as we'll as energy and judg- ment For twenty-five years he has been prominently connected with a number of the greatest enterprises in the South, railroads, locomotive works coal mines, steel manufactures, news papers. In all of these he was con- spicuous for his wisdom and success. Alabama particularly was one of the fields of his activity, and he was al- most as familiar figure in Blrming- ham as In Richmond. As a director and leading spirit in various compa- nies in Alabama. his faith and his ability counted always for upbuilding and development.
 Mir. Bryan was a man of the highest character. There was nothing of the trickster about him. He was straight forward. sincere, honorable in all his dealings He was an earnest Chris ti&n, loyal member of his church, benevolent citizen who had hand in many philanthropies. He was trusted in counsel and beloved by younger men especially to whom he was all kidness and helpfulness.
 Mfr. Bryan was notably a gentle man of the old South in culture and manners. He was broadly educated. deeply read. thoroughly informed, in touch with all that was progressive and uplifting.
 Through the great newspaper which he established, The Richmond Times Dispatch, he constantly struggled for the highest political ideals, national and State. He never sought ofilce himself. but always contended for the right as he saw it. and for the betterment of his party and people.
 With all of his ability and activity, he was a modest. charming person. ality, who avoided the Iimelight at all times. Probably not until now that he is gone have his neighbors and friends fully realized what a strong. noble. useful man he was. for he never blew his own horn in the slightest degree, or sought any of the applause men commonly seek.
 Nowhere in all the South was there finer, more complete embodiment of the spirit of the old South and the ideal of the new South than was the combination in the heart, brain and hand of Joseph Bryan. His life should be an inspiration to the rising gener- alton of all this section.

line between Sweden and Norway. where he engaged in business, married and reared a family.
 Sailing always on Norwegian vessels Michael engaged in numerous long voyages, traveling over a greater part of the world. It was seldom that he came back to his old home. and then 1t was for only a day or two in port not a sufficiently long time for him to make the overland voyage to the little city in the mountains. where his only brother resided.
 Time passed and Carl grew to, be quite an old man, with a large family and several grandchildren. Michael, too. had welded. Both men. alth ough hearing frequently of each other, never met. The elder, busy with his banking affairs. for he had now become quite wealthy and a Director in big hnan- cial institution where he lived, had little opportunity to. go over to the coast, and the younger was at sea nearly always.
 1t was not until 1899. when Carl, 1t was thought, was nearing death. that his seafaring brother journeyed to his home and met him. As he reach ed the house he had to introduce himself. The greeting between the two was very affectionate.
 Micheai spent few pleasant days at the home and left again for the sea His brother died shortly afterward.

HOW IS IT TO BE DONE,

The esteemed Montgomery Adver- tiser declares that the party must rid itself of Bryanism, or drag out a hope iess and useless existence until an- Eihilation ends 1t.
 According to our advices. annihiIa- tion came near ending 1t the last time. We have lost sight of conservative of the coI6tr1 She hold 0n but for the solid South, with It's abid- ing affections for the name of the old party, we would have lost all the cleo party left. Nevertheless, that little is Bryan. and those who revere him. We invite the editor of The Advertiser to take fresh grip upon the pencil. and tell us how we are to do 1t. We have some ideas of our own on the subject. but express willingness to sit at the feet of the Gamaliel of the Ala bama press. and iearn.-Mobile Reg lster.
 The Register is of the same mind as The Advertiser, on the question of Mir Bryan's autocratic control of the Dem ocratic party. The Register no doubt believes with The Advertiser that MT. Bryan's throttling grip upon the party for twelve years will in the future as 1t was in the past, mean its end.
 But the party will throw off MT. Bryan. There are ways in which this can be done and they are as apparent 10 The Register as to The Advertiser.

 While we suppose that the majority of the voters of South Carolina sincere, ly wished that MT. Bryan be elected when the average business man, banker, mercha 1t or manufacturer in interior South Carolina disclose a feeling of re- lief and qualification on his part that the administration of the government is to be in the hands of Judge Taft for four years; If MT; Bryan had had been been other year at least" is the expression of one Of the most successful bankers in interior South Carolina who was never identified with the Cleveland wing of the democracy and one hears similar remarks everywhere in the state.
 The business men of course are not the majority of the voters; they do not elect the presidents, and governors in saying that their views of public ques- tions are infallible. but we are persuad- ed that 95 per cent of the leaders In commercial and manufacturing pursuits in South Carolina regard the election of MT.
