Possibilities of a Moment.

We cannot speak loyal word and
be meanly silent; We cannot kill and
not kill in the same moment; but a
moment is room wide enough for the
loyal and mean desire, for the out
lash of a murderous thought and the
sharp backward stroke of repentance

There are mighty few young people who go into marriage with
 any real idea of what it means. They get their notion of it from among the clouds where they lived while they were engaged. and naturally about all they find up there is wind and moonshine, or novels which always ends be- fore the trouble begins, or, they keep on, leave out the chapters that tell how the husband finds the rent and the wife the hired girl. But if there's one thing in the world about which it's possi- ble to get all the facts, it's matri- mony. Part of them are right in the house where you were born, and the neighbors have the rest.

LOCAL OPTION
 IS ENDORSED
Only 19 Out of 75O Delegates Vote for State-Wide
 Prohibition.

Baltimore, Md, May 25 The general conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, at pro- longed session today, put itself on record as indorsing unquali- fiedly the work of the anti-saloon leagues, favoring local option. Both of these positions are new with the church, as up to this time no special organization has had the specific indorsement of the church, while it has stood, on the other hand, for absolute prohibition everywhere.
 The result was attained only after one of the stormiest meet ings yet held. It was contended by the minority adherents that it was willing for the general con- ference to indorse any particular organization, and also that it was a distinct violation of the stan- dard of the church to come out in favor of local option.
 The majority supporters main tained that the Anti-Saloon League was worthy of this rec ognition. declaring that it is the organization that is doing the work for temperance at the pres ent time, fusing as it does all other societies and efforts into one.
 USE IT FOR PROHIBITION
 They upheld local option on the ground that it was to be used toward state-wid prohibition. When the final vote was taken but nineteen of the entire body of upwards of 750 delegates reg istered in favor of the minority report.

 There is structure which every graduate from our school is building, young and old, rich and poor, each one for himself. It is called character" and every act of your lives is a stone for this structure. If day by day you are careful to build your lives with pure, upright deeds, at the end you will stand a fair temple, honored by God and man. But as one leak will sink a ship, and one flaw break a chain, so one mean, dishonorable act or or word will forever leave it's im- press and work its influence on your character. Then let the several deeds unite to form a day and one by one the days grow into the noble years, and the years as they slowly pass will raise at last a beautiful edifice, enduring forever to your praise, and you will cherish with the utmost ten- derness the memories of your school life. The old school house, the familiar walks about the place, the desk upon which you wrote your name, all indelibly stored away in memory never to be forgotten.
 It is said that three of the stingiest men in the state were in town yesterday. One of them will not drink as much water as he wants unless it be from an- other mans well. The second forbids any of his family from writing anything but a small hand" as it is a waste of ink to make large letters. The third stops his clock at night in order to save wear and tear on the ma chinery. Two of them decline to take their county paper on the ground that it is a terrible strain on their spectacles to read news paper, even in the day time. And the last one makes his wife and children climb the fence to keep from wearing out the hing es on the gate, and won't turn over in the bed for fear he will wearout the sheet. This last one, however, will sometime conde- scend to read a "sample"-copy of a paper, but was never known to be bonafde subscriber to anything except the Daily Dinner Horn-snd then he sometimes kicked because the poor little carrier failed to get it to him be- cause of a threatening storm.

sheffield. Nov. Is.-(speeiaL)--Tf the rumors current in this city are to be believed. and they have the earmarks Of truth. the three Cole furnaces property of the Sheffield Coal and Iron Company, which have been idle for more than q year. will soon be in operation.
 The resumption of these three blast furnaces, in connection with the two already in operation, the Hattie and Lady Ensley. would mean much to shefleld and vicinity in business way gtving employment to many idle men and opening up an avenue of business along the industrial lines which has been closed for several months.
 It is known that steps have been taken to settle with the creditors of the company, and this Is taken as an indication that the company intends to resume operation within short time.
 This belief Is further strengthened by the presence in Shefield of E.. Rust. president of the company, from Gary. ind. who comes to Shefiield to perma- nently reside, which fact, coupled with other surface indications. Is taken to mean that Sheff1eld will soon have five. instead of two blast furnaces in active operation.

STRIcKER'S BODY SHIPPED
 TO A NEW YORK CLUB

Birmingham, Nov. 1s--(Special. l-- The hody of Emile stricker the German automobile driver who lost his iifn when the Renault car which he was driving against the twenty-four hour record at the Birmingham Fair Grounds early Tuesday morning exploded two tires and then went whirling around. throwing the occupants of the machine nrostrated on the track, was shtnped today to New York.
 The hodv was prepared by an under taking company and was sent by ex- press to the metropolitan city to the New York Chauffeur Club, which organ izatfon is to receive it and give 1t an appropriate burial. .
 William H. Pickens. the promoter of the race here, has returned to New or leans. Lewis Strang. the daring auto nlobilist who came here for the twenty four hour record race, and who started 1t. being relieved by Stricker two hours before the accident has returned 70 Savannah, where he is to prepare for participation in the international road races to be run on Thanksgiving Day,
 Much sorrow has been expressed here on the tragic end of Stricker and the sudden termination of race that promised to be one full of interest.
 There Is much talk of another ef- fort being mado on the Birmingham Fair Grounds track after Thanksgiving Day to lower the twenty-four hour record. and 1t is not improbable that Strank or some other prominent racer will come hero and make the dash.
 According to the timers and other of- hcials of the race which was ended with the fatal accident. the race was almost up to the previous record.
