THEN AND NOW.

Then-her length was twenty inches,
Now-her waist is just that girth,
Then-the moon was her desire,
Now-she simply wants the earth.
Then-she grasped small tin rattle,
Now-she steers limousine,
Then-her dress simple cotton,
Now-it holds dazzling sheen.
Then-one ringlet crowned her fore
head,
Now-it's piled with putfs and rat,
Then-a little cap of worsted,
Nova fifty-dollar hat.
Then-her words were few and l1splng
Now-she doesn't lisp, she spiels,
Then-her little foot was sockless,
Now-she wears DuBarry heels.
Then-her drink was white and luke
warm,
Now-it's amber and is cold,
Then-it must be fresh-and sweet
ened,
Now-it's "dry" and very old.
Then-life's pendulum swung slowly
Now-it's moving pretty fast,
Then-Mi Nina with a future
Now-Milady with past.

SERMONS AND SLEEP.
A COMFORTING THEORY IN REGARD TO
DOING IN CHURCH.

A COMFORTING THEORY IN REGARD TO
DOING IN CHURCH.
The French scientists are the most
consoling people in the world. They
are always working out some explana-
ton that affords consolation. Here
comes one with a theory about sleeping
in churches that will be relief to both
pastor and people.
According to this French psycholo-
gist's theory, persons are inclined to
''doze" in church because of the devout
attention they pay to the services. "In
endeavoring to fix every word in the
minds they put themselves into sort
of trance" It is about the same as
what is called self-hypnotism, and the
more closely one follows the minister
the more likely he is to find himself
unable to remain awake.
For good many years the pert para
graphers have had great deal to say
about church sleepers, and usually the
preacher has gotten the worst OF the
argument. All manner of devices have
been suggested by the humorists as
aids to lengthy sermons, even to the
placing of electric needles in the cush-
ions to awaken the sleepers at the pres
sure of button by the minister. But
now that the inclina natiOn TO Slumber in
church has been accounted for upon
purely scientific grounds, the remedy
for the evil will probably be abated in
a practical way-perhaps by encour-
aging the employment of pastors who
are incapable of holding ones attention
at all.

Virgin1a's Opportunity.

The announcement that Edwin Haw-
ley is at last in position to consumate
his ambitious plan of trunk line from
Virginia tdewater to the great lakes is
news of large import to the people of
Virginia, because it means another
step taken toward making Hampton
Roads one of the greatest commercial
harbors on the Atlantic coast The
business of Norfolk, Newport News,
Portsmouth is already OF large proper
tions, but the possibilities of this mag
nifcent harbor, in which there is room
for all the navies of the world to anch-
or, are just beginning to be realized.
With its strategic position midway
the coast, with hinterland of unex-
ampled fertility and natural resources,
with the shortest haul from the Ohio
and Mississippi valleys and the lakes,
the future of Hampton Roads is bril-
liant with promise, in the relation OF
which trunk line to Chicago will ma
terially aid. The day may even come
when the shores of Hampton Roads
will rival Boston, Philadelphia, and
New York in density of population and
amount of business transacted. Nor
folk and Newport News are destined
by the logic of geography to become
two of the most thriving and import
ant ports on the Atlantic seaboard.
In addition to becoming the terminus
of a great trunk line from Chicago,
Newport News, when the Hawley plans
are completed, will be the Atlantic end
of a transcontinental system which will
link Chesapeake Bay with the Pacific
at Portland on the north and the Gulf
of California on the south. Plans said
to be in contemplation by Hawley
would give him transcontinental line
about 500 miles shorter than any other
system that girds the continent. This
would place him in such command
ing position, so far as rates are concern
ed, that Hampton Roads would be as
sured of It's share of traffic for European
ports.
Mr.. Hawley's entrance into the
Southern railroad field, as noted by the
Manufacturers Record in a discussion
of the significance of trunk line from
tidewater Virginia to Chicago, will
have far-reaching effect on the pro-
gress of the South in general. The
struggle for supremacy by rival rail-
road interests will be intensified, with
the result of fierce competition in con-
struction and betterment, with conse-
quent benefit to every industry in the
South, and particularly to tidewater
Virginia and the Hampton Roads
cities. The wave of prosperity which
is rising toward flood proportions in all
parts of the country will nowhere car
ry higher crest than in the South

TRIFLES THAT WORRY
MEN AND WOMEN
SENSE OF PROPORTION, IF WE COULD
OBTAIN 1T, WOULD TEACH US
RETTER

If we could look at life in perspective
we would give over half our groaning.
All our happenings are viewed on a
fiat surface. There is no background
into which we can thrust the unim-
portant. Veriest trifies loom as large
as heart breaking troubles, writes Helen
Bruce Wallace.
Attaining proportion is no cinch.
Our trouble and our neighbours trouble
never are seen in the same focus. 1t is
so easy to cultivate sense of proper
tiOn for some one else. The trials of
the woman next door are read for what
they are, senseless worry over nothing,
and we are as long on counsel and good
advice as if we were not chronic groan-
ers over hard luck.
What every woman needs is de-
tached viewpoint. It is good discipline
to look at our own happenings as if
they were our neighbours. It will not
be easy to laugh ourselves out of wor-
ries or to size them up as unimportant.
The mother who will complacently
say, "Children will be children, when
Mrs. Browns Mary slides down coal
pile in her new coat, will count hersel
afflicted among women when her Sally
cuts up her best lingerie frock in fit
of temper. Learn to distinguish be-
tween trivialties and realities. The
former are not worth sigh, yet we too
often honor them with tears.
When the real things of life-honor
and love and trust-are hit we can
count it trouble. When externals go
wrong they can be remedied and count
ed the trifles they are.
To get this sense of proportion, to en-
able ourselves to see trifies unmagnifed,
it is well to ask ourselves, each time we
feel calamity is upon us-"Does it mat
ter much ?" Then see to it that the
answer rings true.
There are some people, women in
particular, to whom trifies seem to
matter more than real SORROWS. They
look at life through dwarfing glasses
and what is vital seems less worth
while than petty conventionalities and
the things that can be bought. Such
natures may learn a sense of proper
ton; but it is doubtful if they will care
to make the effort.
But the woman who knows she takes
life hard, yet can not see how to help
it; who is becoming burden to herself
and Others by her fretting and worries,
will find that cultivating a sense of
proportion will sweeten her days. 1t
will mean hard fought battles with
self. 1t is much easier to magnify the
unimportant than to lessen it. Once
get the true focus on trouble and you
will be surprised to see how many pet
ty trials that once loomed large are
shut from the camera.
When things 60 wrong instead OF la
menting, "Could anything be worse ?"
make a square look at facts through
the magnifying glass of how much
more wrong they might go. Your
groans will turn to rejoicing at a lucky
escape.

FOUND PURSE
GETS PRINTER
INTO TROUBLE
JAMES M. RUSSELL DID NOT RE-
TURN PocKETBooK TO OWNER
AND WAS ARRESTED IN oEoR-
GIA-WILL BE RETURNED HERE
AND CHARGED WITH GRAND
LARCENY.

Marshal Sanders received a tele-
gram yesterday from the chief of pO-
lice at Augusta, Ga, stating that
James NJ Russell, a printer, had been
arrested there and was being held
subject to advices from Pensacola
The police chief referred the TELEGRAM
TO Sheriff Van Pelt and the latter will
go to Augusta for Russell, returning
him here, where there is an Outstand-
ing warrant charging him with grand
larceny.
Russell worked in Pensacola some
time ago. While here be IS alleged to
have found on the street one day a
pOCketbOok containing $35, fever i'm
mune certificate and G. pilots license,
all the property belonging to and in
the name of Capt. Geo. W. Aines-
worth, a wIdely-known pilot, residing
at SO East Gregory street. Russell is
said to have shown the find to a
number of people who advised him to
take it to Capt. AineSwOrth, at the
same time directing him to that gen.
tleman's home. Russell appeared to
have had all the good intentions DOS
sible at one time to return the pocket
book, and called at the AinesWorth
home during the absence of the cap
tain. He told some members of the
family that he had found the purse
and money and stood ready to return
it to the proper owner. Before he did
this, however, he left town quickly.
Nothing was heard of him until q few
days since, when he was published as
having applied for membership in the
Atlanta Typographical Union. His
age was given as 80 years.

NEGRO MADE A

ON POLICEMAN
PATRoLMAN McLosKEY STRUCK
WHEN CHASING TRIO OF BLACK
SHOT TO PERSUADE THEM TO
HALT.

Three young negroes in the rear O.
Norgan's stables, on East Garden
street, at $50 o'clock last night en-
gagged in a crap shooting" contest
Patrolman McCIoskey, getting a hne
on the trio, enlisted the assistance OF
PatrOlman BTyaTs, on the adjoining
beat, and the two bluecoats started II
capture the black gamesters. Things
were going lovely until a slight noise
made a negro prick up his ears and
shoot his eyes in all directions. A DC
Hceman's uniform was seen, an alarm
sounded and three black boys van
ished with the Quickness Of a gust of
wind. One negro ran through a stall
where a sleepy mule munched hay
The negro daTted through a handy
window, and McCloskey followed. It
was lucky he showed his feet through
first, for in second after his leg was
showed through, a resounding whack
was heard and McCIoskey caught the
blow from a piece Of wood four feet
long. 1t would have been all the same
if his head had been poked through
first Catching sight of the fleeing ne
gro who struck him, McCloskey fred
one shot from his revolver in the be-
lief that the black boy would stop. He
did not know better because he was a
lately-appointed policeman and new
in the business.
The trouble was reported to Captain
of Police Wilde, who tried to get in
formation as 10 names Of gamblers
from a Waterman named Lindsay, a
negro. The latter protested ignor-
ance and Captain Wilde placed him
under arrest for opposing an officer.
The police were positive Lindsay
knew the game was going on, and
believed he knew the names of all
participants
McCloskey's leg bore evidence of
the blow received, a lump rising and a
blue spot appearing shortly afterward.
He remained on duty, however.
