To Be Alike Means Bliss.

The husband and vile OF similar
tastes and dispositions will find the
most happiness together, says an ex-
change. A woman of quiet, gentle
manners could not be happy with a
coarse, vulgar man, nor a man OF re-
fined, sensitive nature with a rough,
bOisterOus woman.
Happiness Is a matter OF tempera-
ment rather than circumstance. The
gay, laughing, happy-go-lucky girl
may prove a balance wheel to the
man of much wisdom, she will add n
human interest to his matter-of-fact
everyday pursuits and keep him from
becoming narrow-minded and cyni'
CAL
Who can guage the human heart
Daily we see marriages between peo-
pie of dissimilar tastes and pursuits,
and daily the lists OF suicides and di'
vorces increase, separating families,
breaking fond hearts, dishonoring
homes and leaving blot on our no,
tion's history. It is pitiful to see
marriage trifed with and degraded
when it is meant to be infinitely
above every other happiness and joy

Strictly High Class Attractions.

Henderson theatre-goers will have
the opportunity of witnessing some
strictly high class attractions this
season. Manager Poythress has
been fortunate in providing an
amusement bill of fare that few of
the larger cities can excel, as the fol-
lowing brilliant summary will show:
Next Monday night, Oct. 18th,
John Griffith will present Faust"
Mr.. Griffith needs no introduction to
a Henderson audience. He was seen
here in Richard III, when he thor
oughly established himself with local
play-goers. AS Mephisto, in Goethe's
immortal creation of "Faust," Mr..
Griffith is said to be a worthy sue
cessor of Lewis Morrison, who was to
this character what Joseph Jefferson
was to Grip Van Winkle."
Friday night, Oct. 22nd, We will
have the talented young actor, Ed
Guard D'Oize, in a sumptuOus pro-
duction of ''The Merchant of Venice" J"
October Goth, elena Rivers"
November End, ''The Servant in
the House."
November 9TH, The Cluxton Musi-
cal Comedy Company, first OF the
Lyceum course of attractions.
November 10Th. 'The Flower of the
Ranch," a metropolitan cast of so
people supported by a chorus of 40
pretty girls.
November 22nd, "a Knight for a
Day." with Frank Deshon and Con-
ME Mack in the leading roles, will
again delight full house. Both OF
these inimitable fun makers estab-
| lished themselves as prime favorites
| with Henderson amusement lovers
who saw them last season.
| November Goth, "Polly of the Cir
| GUS"
December 2nd, "The House of a
Thousand Candles" will be the bril-
liant setting behind the footlights.
And "there are others rs'-equally
as good-but this is enough for the
present; other attractions will be an

| ment. The great advantages which
the opening of the Carolina and Vir-
ginia free waterway would specially
secure to Norfolk induces us to hope
that her citizens will rise to the occa-
sion and do their full duty towards
promoting this transportation neces-
sity for nothing they can do would
be too much.
Along this line we would modestly
suggest that to every stranger, who
comes to Norfolk with promises of
aid in behalf Of the immediate open
ing OF this special link in the Deeper
Inland Waterway, a glad hand should
be extended and he should be given
plenty OF food and drink, and when
tired Of talking, a soft bed should be
provided for the weary body, but be-
fore he sleeps he should be gently told
that Norfolk was discovered about
1855, and that as the centuries rolled
away erpeople gathered much learn
ing and, consequently, while they are
not quickly convinced by argument
and talk they are easily captured by
visible realities, honest actions and
the stay OF the stranger peculiarly
happy if he should happen to belong
to that representative class that men
OF high character and sincere purpose
rejoice to meet and delight to enter
tain.
For more than forty years the
writer has labored, when opporttuni-
ty offered, to secure free canal from
Norfolk to Albemarle Sound. because
he knew the benefit it would prove to
his section. In these long years of la
Dor, watching and waiting, he has
never despaired of seeing the dream
OF his young manhood fulfilled and
he is most happy in the thought
that the work he performed, in this
most commeEdable and worthy
cause, was inspired and guided only
by love of State and homefolk
and that no hope encouraged his
efforts save the ennobling desire to
succeed and thereby merit and retain
the appreciation and regard of his
fellow citizens of Eastern North Car
olina.
And now in his declining years,
when he sees only the setting sun, he
is still buoyed up with the hope that
he may yet, and soon, be permitted
to again face the rising sun and be-
hold the CLINT OF it's glorious rays
making beautiful the united waters
of Carolina and Virginia as they flow
through free canal to bless his
neighbors, and especially the home
people he loves with an intensity and
devotion patriot only can feel and
comprehend.

If You Resign, Who Cares?

Whoever you are who may read
these words, this question is one that
you should ask yourself most serious
ly:
If were to resign, would I be re-
elected?
This is the kind Of question which
1t does you good to ask and answer
with unsparing frankness. 1t Is one OF
the questions which make you search
your heart, look into all the secrets
Of your life, and bring you face to face
with what is real-perhaps most bru-
tally real.
Whatever talent you may have
whatever gifts you may possess-the5e
have not been the only factors in your
advancement They have helped you
much or little, as the case may be;
yet what you are and what you have
you owe very largely to the good will
and the good opinion Of others. They
have accepted you, smoothed your
path.
they do the same thing over again?
Would your wife choose you again;
Examine yourself closely and see
whether you are still the lover, striv-
ing to please, thinking of all the lit
tie things that go to make up a wo-
mans happiness. If you have made
your wife dread and fear you, 80 that
she shudders at your very touch
would she again select you, If once the
legal bond between you could be
severed?
Put, then this qustion sharply tc
yourself in all the relations Of your
life. 1t is a grim task, but nothing 4;
better for you as man than to ask
yourself this question, and answer II
with perfect frankness:
If 1 resigned, would I be reelected

The Speakers Dissraee.-At the af-

The Speakers Dissraee.-At the af-
tcrnoon session Of the prohibition
convention the delegates, among
whom the women greatly predomi-
mated, were extremely enthusiastic
over the cold water issues; and every
resolution in furtherance Of the pro-
hibition cause was upheld aggressive
ly and unanimously.
Toward the end Of the session the
speaker Of the day was announced.
This gentleman had recently return
ed from abroad, where he had been
recuperating from his arduous work
in behalf of temperance. Smilingly
acknowledging his tumultuous recep-
ton, this speaker at once plunged in
to the pleasant events of his foreign
trip.
In the midst Of this interesting mar
ration, lady delegate from rural
district sprang to her feet, her eyes
blazing.
81 protest against such goings on
as this!" she cried, glaring at the mar
rator. It's a shame. L"
'Sit down.
Let him proceed!"
"T won't sit down." declared the
irate delegate, sending scornful
glance at her fellow members. II say
it's shame, a disgrace and deplor-
able thing for that man, who poses
as an apostle of temperance and a
hater of ginshops, to stand up there
and deliberately tell us that on his
way across the Atlantic he spent many
delightful evenings in the ships sa-
loon!"-Brooklyn Life.

The American Climate.-On Shot
chun of the Chinese embassy, on a
sultry evening at Cape May, condemn
ed the American climate.
1T is much worse than the climate
of China" he said. 1T is perhaps
the worst climate in the world. And
yet you can joke about it.
"A physician joked me about it the
other day.
"'Accustom yourself, Mr.. On Shot
chun,' he said, to our climates ways.
Our winters are arctic. our summers
are subtropical. And very often our
climate gets mixed, and arctic days
and subtropical .ones alternate. In

changes. l, summer and winter, SLEEP

Not What He Expeeted.-A doctor
In a Yorkshire village lately gave up
his house. and was succeeded in 1t by
a veterinary surgeon. Before he had
been many weeks in his new home
the wet" was awakened In the early
hours of rather black spring morn
ing. Opening the window, he heard
a voice call out of the darkness.
"Can you come with me at once,
mister? She's very bad"
The surgeon dressed, and found a
trap waiting to take him to farm
two or three miles away from the viii
lage. On the way he asked a few
questions about the case he was to
attend.
I'm afraid there's very little hope
for her." said the farmer. shes
been ailing now, you see, for ten
years, and she's getting pretty old as
we'll"
Annoyed at being called out at
such an hour to see an obviously not
very valuable animal, the veterinary
surgeon exclaimed: why on earth
don't you shoot herr"
What" exclaimed the farmer.
Shoot my mother"
Then the wet" understood that 1t
was the previous tenant who was
wanted.-Tit-Bits.

A Cold World, lndeed.-The mana
ger Of the big store stood stock still
outside of the little box-like cham
Der which held the telephone of the
establishment for he was a very star
tied manager indeed. Within the
chamber he could hear Miss Jones,
the typist, speaking, and this Is a
scrap of the conversation the scanda-
lized man overheard:
II love you dear, and only you! I'm
weeping my heart away! Yes, my
darling, speak to me once more!
love you, dear-I love you so!"
The young woman rang off and
stepped out Of the cabinet to confront
the angry manager.
Miss JONES'" he said, that tele-
phone has been fixed where it is fol
the purpose of convenience in con-
tracing business, and not for love-
making in Office hours. I am surpris-
ed at you. Don't let 1t occur again!"
The young woman froze him with 6
glance.
II was ordering some new music
from the publishers for No. depart
ment," she exclaimed, icily.
And then the manager felt that this
was a cold world, indeed.

Of which there was an extremely

guiltless of a hair, and whose rosy
cheeks betokened a country training
Are you the real conductor" ask

Eyes, sir" replied the young fell

"Then permit me to say that you
are the youngest conductor I ever
saw. Why, you don't appear any old
er than my son, who is IT,"
Perhaps 1 don't" said the ado
lescent conductor, in a testy tone, indl-
eating that the thing was beginning
to pail upon him. Fares, please"
May I ask you just one question:"
queried the Cleveland man, when
the fares had been paid.
Yes, but please make it short; I'm

What 1 would like to KNOW" said
the Cleveland man, 'is this: Were
you born on this trip?"

His Depressor.-He was handsome,
young, talented. He had apparently
everything one could wish for as a
start in life, but every time he came
into a room where there were mir
rors he absorbed himself in contem-
plation of the back of his head.
That spot is getting thinner and
thinner" he complained when he
called on the woman and sat down af-
ter looking at 1t in all the mirrors in
her fiat. Don't make any difference
what 1 do with it. it keeps on getting
larger. I've tried everything, rubbing
II with kerosene, with hair tonics;
can't do a thing with it,
It's just as WELL" she consoled
him. "If you didn't have that little
bald spot to keep you humiliated
there'd be no associating with you"
