During the recent convention of the
National Metal Trades Association at
Chicago. II. T.. Crane, head of the Chi
cago Crane Company, told of the profit
sharing plan which had been put in force
with the employees of that company. He
said that the net earnings after payment
of interest at legal rates on the capital
invested are divided into two equal
shares, one OF which goes to the company
as "A surplus or dividends and the other
being set aside for the employees. Some
of the employers present criticised this
plan as being sem-socialistic.

A Kind Plan.

There is a movement on foot among
the club women in the West to adopt
measures to prevent the separation Of
children from their mothers on ac-
count Of poverty. The leaders In this
movement point out that in Australia

is left destitute the state, instead Of
taking them away from her and pay
ing their board in an institution, or in
strange family, boards them with
the mother and so keeps the family
together.

this is done not only the body but the

CHAPTER vi

Standing off the Brentford road and
IN the immediate vicinity of Kew Gar
dens, is to be seen a small cottage half
smothered in creepers. Fitting about
amongst the flowers with a pair of scis-
sors, and clipping a blossom here and
there, is a young lady of some three or
four and twenty, whose acquaintance We
made many years ago. This Is Mary
Chichester, whom we last saw as child
in the Jardin DIES Plantes at Avranches.
A somewhat tall maiden now, with glossy
brown hair and eyes to match, and a
frank, fair countenance that intuitively
disposes people to like her upon first
acquaintance. Two years after Aunt
Julia went to assist her niece in her
&rouble the doctors fears were realized.
AIRS. Chichester caught a bad cold, which
speedily developed TIE latent seeds of
consumption. Her Aunt Julia promised
before she died that she would take care
of little Mary, and when she returned to
England she brought the child with her.

The Buffers Convicted.

Greensboro, N. c., Ayril 6. =
Ex-senator Marion Butler and
LestersF. Butler were today ad
judged guilty of defamation of
ex-Judge Spencer B. Adams and
Judge Long fined the senior
Butler $500 and the junior $3.50.
They appealed.
The outcome of the trial was q
surprise. Although the evidence
had all the while been of the
doubtful kind whereupon to base
a conviction, the taking of the
stand by Judge Bynum and Civ
ing such testimony as he did,
was regarded as especially dam
gerous to the complainant. Few
people expected a verdict carry
ing any damages, and though the
jury fixed it at $500, it was not
expected to be so much as that.
It would be hard to say how
sentiment ran here. Though
Butler is cordially hated, he is re-
garded purely as a dead politician
and it is expected that Judge
Adams will profit by the convict
ion. 1t is known that he expects
from the federal government re-
cognition for his fine services to
President Taft and it is said by
many who know that he would
have received his reward earlier
but for this case. He sued for
large amounts, butt was always
known that he did not care so
much for the damages as he did
a conviction. It is clearly a VIC
tory for Adams.
The Buffers gave bond and
fixed the appeal. There are ex-
ceptions that were asked for
during the trial and they hold
that the verdict was not in ac-
cordance with the evidence. The
case will probably not get into
the courts before late fall even
If the lower court is reversed.
There was the greatest interest
in the matter.

NOVA FIRST CLASS OFFICE.
Post Office Department Changes Dur
ham from Second 10 First.

The Post Office Department
has issued an order that beginning
July 1st the Durham Office be
placed in the first class. This is
done on the account of receipts
and Durham has now passed the
$40. 900 mark. Only six other
towns in the state are in the fast
class, Durham making the sew
enth.
In jumping into the first class
it means the raising of the salar.
les of all connected with the
Office. The post master will get
$1,000 per annum, each of the
clerks will be raised 500 pei
year and three additional clerks
will be added in order to keep
the Office up to the dignity Of the
new position.
In connection with the Dur.
ham Office there are twenty-seven
employed and when the three ad.
ditional ones are added it will
make an even thirty in this post
Office family.
The pay of the various en-
ployes is based upon the receipts
Of the Office and If Durham was
given credit FOR all the receipts of
this settlement. the East and
West Durham Offices the pay Of
the postmaster would jump up
to $500 and the others would
be increased accordingly. Still
it is good enough to know that
the town is to be made first class
and that the many changes are
to be made.

OBITUARY OF MRS. ELISABETH N.
BROOKS.
The subject Of this notice was
the daughter of the late Silas and
Priscilla Moore and was born
June 18th, 1884. and died March
9th, 1909, making her abode in
this world "a years, 8 months
and 10 days. On Oct. 8 1854 she
was married to Elijah Brooks
and to their union was born three
girls. Mrs. Brooks has had quite
a hard time part Of her life
having been left a widow with
three little girls to support about
the close of the Civil war. but by
good management and an inn
plicit faith in her Master she
reared her three daughter to
mature womanhood. two of
whom still survive her, and
accumulated quite q snug estate
to make her last years easy and
comfortable. She was a good
woman and was a great help to
her less fortunate friends in
rendering them assistance in
times of need, and was never
known to refuse help when called
upon IL 1t was convenient to do
so. We believe she was as near
an ideal christian woman as we
know Of any where although she
had never made a public confess
sion before the world. The Primi-
tive Baptist was her favorite
church. While we believe It Is
the duty of every one who has
accepted Christ as their leader,
to publicity confess 1t, still we
believe that there is redeeming
power 10 save such as she who
had not confessed. Mrs. Brooks
will be greatly missed by her
two daughters, one sister and
host Of grand and great grand
children and friends. but to them
we say, bear your burden easy,
for we have all reason to believe
that her soul Is asleep safely in
the bounds of Ethereal happi-
ness. Her body was tenderly
laid to rest in the family burying
ground near her late home and
in view Of her birth place among
as large a crowd Of people as we
ever saw at O country burial.
