You are too tired to 90 to church.
That's sheer nonsense. There isn't
place on this continent 90 restful

around the house all day; doze in a
hammock; Toll IN rocking chair; go
to sleep over a book. That isn't
resting; that's loafing. Tell your

Back Home.


If could go back to my home tonight,
Back to the long, low house when ev-
ening light
Just Swallowed down to darkness -
what would be
My first glad act? The first thing, I
would see
Where mother was-go calling far and
Thru every room, until she answered
"Here"
Then would turn so fast-I could not
wait!
And I would cry: elias father come :?
It's late:
want you both-1ve something I
must tell"
Chow well do remember, oh, how
wellD
Then father'd come, and after tea
we'd go
Into the quiet room we used to know:
And would tell them all-tlle JOY the
gain
Since had seen them last-the grief,
the strain.
And mother'd kiss me and my faith
er'd smile
And say: 'Tt will come right; just
wait awhile"
And both would know-and all things
would be right
II could go back to my home tonight

ELECTRIFY SWEDISH RAILWAYS.

Plans are under way for the cleo
IRRIGATION Of the more important
state railroads of Sweden. 1t is ex-
pected that the line running from
Kiruna, in the iron ore fields OF Lap
land, to the Norway boundary will be
the first to change from steam to
electricity. The change is made nee
essary by the increase Of traffic over
the line. which can be handled only
by doubling the tracks If steam pro-
pulsion be still adhered to. 1t is be-
lieved that electrification would be
much more economical than the con-
struction Of double tracks.

made the point that there could
be no joint session if such was
the case and the amendment was
not put. Finally the roll call
was demanded, and the body
put on record as to the innova-
ton. The result of the call was
that seventy six voted for the
resolution and thirty six against
it. This vote was divided, as
some of the minority party voted
for it. but the bulk of the vote
perhaps came from them. Thus
passed an interesting fight that
took some minutes Of time, and
the matter Of reading the second
message was settled in favor of
the Governor.
The reading OF the message
took and hour and thirty min
utes and, and in that long time
the Governor read without stop
ping and in a tone that all could
hear and without flag in the
voice. though he was exceedingly
warm when he had finished, and
all the time he had the most re-
spectful attention. no one going

OUTLINE OF WORK CLAIMS ATTENTION

Speclal Correspondence OF ne kecordeT.
Raleigh, January 7, 1907
Since the last letter from this
place as to the North Carolina
Legislature, there has been some
thing doing all the time. On the
arrival Of the members the speak
ership fight begun in earnest,
and the three candidates and
their friendsmadeth Marlborough
House a veritable hive for the
swarm there was a lively one and
above the average in looks as
well as the cleanliness used in
the fight to get the first place in
the gift of the assembling body,
the Speakership.
As readers generally know the
fight lay between Graham of
Granville, Dowd of Mecklenburg
and Hayes of Chatham, all clean
aggressive men, and either of
them were worthy of the place
and each had sufficient following
to make him hope he would by
some means land the plum.
There were many influences at
work, and the matter of rounding
up the men as they arrived and
the approaching of each with
the right man to find how he
stood, and at the same time not
offend or appear anxious was a
job given to what was thought
the most available man in each
case, the temperament of each
being to suit the man approached.
When the caucus met there was
two of the number that were
pretty sure of the place, and that
heightened the interest in no
small degree.
The matter Of the selection Of
the speaker was deferred to the
last, in order TO give some belat-
ed members a chance to get in
on a train held up by a wreck,
and all the minor jobs were CIV
en- out first; that is the places
we're filled by the caucus. which
meant that there no way Of los
ing when this was done.

The first days work was given
over to the formality of voting
by roll call to elect all these men,
and nothing else save appointing
of committees to see the COVER
nor and the respective houses
each for the other to notify that
they were organized and ready
for the fray.
The second days session Of the
North Carolina Legislature was
not devoid OF interest in spite of
the fact that the Governors mes
sage was to be read. and the mo-
tive interrupted; the proceedings
had not gone far before the work
of approaching the joint session
agreed upon for hearing the mes
sage which a resolution from the
committee appointed to notify
the Governor that the bodies
were ready to hear from him pre-
sented for passage, and which
contained the provision that the
Governor be invited to appear
and read the message as he had
done last year.
The reading was only finished
when Mr.. Morton of New Han
over was on his feet to oppose
the resolution as an innovation
that was bringing the legislative
and the executive too close to-
gether. and the danger of en-
croachment on the rights of the
legislative was too near to COM
ing to pass to hit the view Of the
speaker. who was in earnest
about the matter.
Mr.. Doughton, formerly Lieu
tenant governor and many years
an experienced legislator said he
saw no danger and insisted on
the passage OF the resolution.
Mr.. burlington said he opposed
the move last year. but that he
was in favor of the reading by
the Governor this year, and in
the statement Mr.. Harshaw the
ranking Republican leader agreed
that he too had been converted
to the new way. Mr.. Morton
came back asking the non-pas-
sage of the resolution, in which
Stubs of Martin Joined, all of
whom disclaimed any..affront to
the Governor, but for the sake
Of maintaining precedent and the
old and separate way Of handling

partments.
There was no show of bad
feeling. but a determination to
stand for what the opposition |
thought to be right. Mr.. Nor
ton finally made or offered an
amendment that the house be in |
recess while the Governor read
the message. but Mr.. nonghton

Raleigh to get a job during the

that he has a grievance against
the party. His friends had nc
