EAST AND WEST OF FIJI.

East of Fiji life is one long, lotus
eating dream, stirred only by occa-
sional parties of pleasure, feasting,
love making, dancing and very lit
tie gardening work. Music is the
soul of the people, beauty Of face
and movement is more the rule than
the exception, and friendliness to
strangers is carried almost to excess.
Westward of the Fijis lie the dark,
wicked, cannibal groups of the Solo
mons, Banks and New Hebrides,
where life is more like a nightmare
than dream; murder stalks openly
in broad daylight, people are nearer
to monkeys than human beings in
aspect, and music and dancing are
little practiced and in the rudest
possible state.-National Geographic
Magazine.

A b a d temper is one Of
the worst things with which a man
or woman can be afflicted. 1t is
a curse to the possessor, and those
who are obliged to live in the same
house with the possessor of the
complaining temper martyrs.
1t is often said that we should not
let the bad temper of others infu-
ence US, but it would be as unreas-
enable to spread a blister of Span
ish flies on the skin and not expect
it to draw, as to think of a family
not suffering on account of the
bad temper of one of it's members.
1t is like the sting Of a scorpion,
or of several scorpions, a perpetu-
al source of irritation, destroying
your peace and rendering life a
burden. To hear ones everlasting
complaint and growl proceeding
from what is aptly called "chron-
ic kicker" to have every agreeable
thought chased away by this evil
spirit of disputatiousness, is more
than flesh and blood can stand.
This would be better world if the
people who lose their tempers
would never find them again.

THE DOLLAR AND THE PESO
Mexican Authorities Have Decided
That There 10 a Definite Die
tInction Between Them.

The question in Mexico of what a
"dollar" means has recently been
authoritatively settled. The depart
ment of finance has decided that the
word "dollar" shall mean the Ameri-
can gold dollar, and that when the
Mexican silver dollar is meant the
word "peso" shall be employed.
Some time ago an American resi-
dent at Tampico wrote ''dollars" on
a check, and the Tampico bank
cashier to whom the check was pre-
sented paid the amount in gold
values. The drawer of the check
claimed that it was his intention to
have silver paid. Litigation was
threatened, but upon investigation
the authorities decided against the
drawer of the check. The Mexican
ruling applies to all documents
notes, drafts, etc.-Mining World.

HANGING PICTURES DANGEROUS.

"Railroad casualties receive such
wide publicity" said an insurance
man, "that there is common belief
on the part of the public that one is
more liable to accidents while travel
ing than when living the simple life
in the confines of his home.
GAS a matter of cold fact, Stats
tics show that accident insurance
companies pay more losses to people
who get injured in their own homes
or on their premises than they do to
people hurt in railway accidents. In
surance companies pay more money
to people who get hurt hanging pic
lures or taking stoves apart than
they do to the victims of head-on
collisions. It sounds strange, but it's
the truth"

HIGH LISENSE.

High license has proven a flat
failure the world over. There is
not a saloon keeper who would pay
$1,000 a year for selling liquor if
he did not get it back again. Does
he pay for the license? No, it is
the consumer. The rich men do
not pay the police court fines, but
it is the poor men. The rich men
can get gloriously drunk but he
has the money to back him. He
is not taken to the cell or Jail; but
let a poor man fill upon teutonic
fluid called beer, and he is gather
ed up by the policemen and arralgn-
ed before the judge and fined or
sent to Jail. Isn't it a beautiful
thing to license men to sell liquor
and then arrest those who drink
it, You had as well give man
the itch and then arrest him for
scratching. Your boy goes out
some night and gazes into the YES
tibules of hell. He sees the Brus-
sells carpet, silver decorated cuspi-
dores and marble bar, and sees
there some of the lead
ing citizens, and without meaning
any wrong sows the seed for fu-
ture misery. Of all the infamous
doctrines that ever lodged in the
brains of people, the idea that
high license is a remedy for the
rum evil is the most perniciOus.
You may say that high license pre-
vents the rotten dives. Would
your son 60 in and drink with a
lot of sots? No, it is in the saloon
provided for the moderate drinker
that he takes the first step. Let
the world know that you will stop
moderate drinking and then this
evil will be suppressed.

CAPTAIN WAS A DIPLOMAT

Business as Well as He Knew
Women.

The wife of one of the directors
of the line was a passenger. She was
an imperious woman, accustomed to
having her own way, and when the
ship began to roll she sent forthwith
for the captain. A steward came in
stead. She scorned the steward and
demanded the captains presence inn
mediately. The purser was the next
sacrifice, and after he, the third Of
ficer, and the first officer had all re-
tired discounted, with a flea in the
ear, as the saying is, the captain
came. By this time the rolling had
increased, and the lady's voice was
beginning to sound far away.
81 wish you to stop this rolling at
once" she said to the captain.
MADAM" said the captain, "a
ship, as you know, is feminine, and
if she wants to roll, I fear that I
can no more stop her than l could
help coming here when you wished
to see me-"

r1cCRORY BOY WINS.

Following is what a Brentwood
(Tex) paper has to say about a
former McCrory lad who was born
and reared in this city and who is
now making a great success in one
of the leading schools of Texas.
THE CLIPPING.
In the annual inter- collegiate de-
bate Saturday night between How
ard Payne and Simmons colleges,
the Brentwood institution had the
best debaters and won the decision
of the judges. The question de-
bated was "Resolved that the
United States has reached her Ze-
NTH" Leslie Sturdivant and AL
vim Richmond represented Howard
Payne with the negative side of
the question and affirmative was
represented by Revs. Dick and
Maddox, of Simmons.
The judges were Judge Calhoun,
of Cisco, Judge Robinson, of Com
anche, and Judge Galloway of,
Comanche. Howard Payne won
the decision by scoring a total of
SIG points against Simmons 1872.
The speech of Leslie Sturdivant
was telling argument and played
a major part in winning for How
ard Payne. On his rejoinder he
literally tore to shreads the argu-
ments of his opponents.
The victory for Howard Payne
is more appreciated on account of
the fact that the speakers for Sim
mons were experienced having oc-
cupied many pulpits, while the
Howard Payne boys were new at
the business.

Monday night number of Nc
,Crory's patriotic and enterprising
young men met at the opera house
and organized brass band which
will be known as the McCrory
Concert Band. There is no ques-
ton asto a band being great
help in the building up of any
town and our citizens should give
the band boys every encourage
ment possible. They have not or
ganized as thing of charity and
do not ask one penny from the
citizen ship, but any boost Or
words of encouragement will be
highly appreciated by every men,
Der and for the man who would
rather hand them a lemon and
knock on the new enterprise, in
stead of encouraging the same, he
can feel assured that not one of
the patriots will have good feel
ing toward him. So, if you
would see our town grow faster,
and spirit of local enthusiasm and
progressiveness prevail, give the
band a word of praise and not one
of encouragement.
