The National Magazine for Feb
ruafy.

The February National may well be
said 20 be a valentine in itself, so dainty
is it illustrated, and so much does it
breathe the spirit OF good Saint Valen-
tine.
Ten real live stories of love and adven-
ture make a fiction offering crisp and
heart-stirring. altogether a literary
luncheon. All this is supplemented by
the third instalment Of Willis George
Emersen's remarkable tale of The
Smoky God" This story deals with
the unknown North and the mysterious
inner earth of which so many scientists
have dreamed and debated. Nothiag OF
the kind has so fascinated and thrilled
Americans renders since the days of
Edgar Allen Poe.

OF great Western Railroads Presidents,
rejecting the personality and character
istics OF the great generals OF transport
tatiou, and Judge W. H. Bard's hand
somely illustrated sketch on ''The Alas
ka of To-day" are articles that have the
charm OF personal narrative.
The Home Department, with it's many
happy suggestions and hints have long
since secured the lively interest of house
keepers and prospective home-makers,
because the little helps are contribu-
tons from hundreds of practical house
keepers-though, perhaps. supervised

sketches and lavish costly illustrations

Going After Business.

The following which is taken from
an exeiinr"e contains so much al
truth that il does not need to he EN-
phasiged further. Read it and heed
n. W business. men. and profit here
.hy:
The trade territory oi a town is
not al depending upon the distance
IL neigliboriny trading points. The
territory depends upon the enter
prise of the merchants and the resi-
dents Of the town. If IL town does
Lot reach after {, he trade it will come
only rs fast as it has to, and grow
lis it Is forced. But If the merchants
go after business in the surrounding
country. advertising in every pos
sible way, and making good every
word OF their advertising, trade will
come from an ever increasing radius,
the town will gain d reputation for
being awake and it will forge to the
front. 1t is he men in the town and
not altogether the men living within
a certain number OF miles from it
that make the town.

Use the Panic to Avoid Paying
Debts,

The panic is a thing of the past in this
community, except with the fellow who
is going around with a pocket full OF
money and giving his creditors the high
dodge, as he thinks, by talking hard
times. But creditors have spotted all
such cattle and may have an opportu-
nifty in the future to remind them of their
meanness. Some OF these fellows could
make Ananias ashamed Of himself when
it comes to formulating an excuse fornot
paying their bills.-Waxhaw Enterprise.
And this class of people is not con-
fined to Waxhaw or any other com
munity. They are to be found in
Henderson as we'll as other places.
But while they may evade and defer
paying their honest debts they do
not fool any one. There will be Il
turn in the lane and day of account
ing will come after awhile. Then the
man who has been unjustly kept out
of his money may decline to extend
further accommodations. Nor can
Mr.. Slowpay blame him for taking
such position after the mean treat
ment to which he has been subjected.

She was too Indifferent to crucial things.
such as dancing and horseback riding
She was remarkably attractive, tail.
slender, graceful girl. with pure blond
colOring and u face which is best de-
! scribed as classic" and she was severely
unconscious of her beauty. She was self
contained. reserved. dignified. and she
was not as much sought after as those Of
her friends who were more spontaneous
and high spirited.
Corneia Thayer was a Vincent Club
girl. but she never took an active part in
their frolics. The most conspicuous thing
she ever did at. one of their entertain
ments was to serve as an usher. She
spent only the midwinter season in Bos-
ton. In the spring she usually ran across
with her mother to look after summer
clothes. after which followed a period at
the country home at Lancaster
1t was busy life that Cornelia Thayer
led, and she never appeared to be In the
least bit anything but calmly happy. and
the years went by rapidly enough.
A rumor grew that Cornelia Thayer
would never marry
Then came another spring. and she and
her mother took their usual trip across
to look for clothes. 1t was that spring
that she met Count Won Moltke when
they were passing through Copenhagen.
The young nobleman is a relative Of the
once famous German Gen. Moltke whose
military knowledge caused the defeat of
the French in the Franco Prussian war
He did not trade on his connections. how
ever. nor on his being attached to the
government in Denmark
infatuated with Miss Thayers appear
ance, her aristocratic bearing and lofty
manner. the count followed her to Amer
lea and was her fathers guest for some
weeks at Lancaster. where the fateful
question was asked and the satisfactory
reply given.
And then everybody awakened to the
fact that her high-bred. aristocratic man
ner eminently fitted her to adorn the
proud position which she was to assume
as wife of the Danish diplomat.
They were handsome pair. the young
Dane with his fine military bearing. good
looks and the rich coloring which char
acterizes his race. and the American girl.
whose inherited "Baltimore' beauty was
always evident.
The wedding was a society function of
impressive detail. performed at the coun-
try home In Lancaster.
New Year day a reception will be held
at the home Of Mrs. William Monypeny
in Columbus. Ohio. in honor Of Gov. elect
