HON E..

No prettier picture no more touch
ing thought centers in the heart and
mind of man than the happy gather
ing of father and mother, sons and
daughters in that divine circle which
man calls home.
The artless, sweet song of the loud
and merry voices of childhood, chirped
and twittered by pert and downey
lips are never hushed nor does any
of it's sweetness ever lose it's charm.
No! Can mankind ever forget the
understandable magic touch of that
little soft chubby fussy hand as the
young cherub draws it across
your face, playing cheek, nose and
eyes?
Our manhood and womanhood is
but a prolongation of that same low
ing song of childhood into a greater
and more wonderful harmony, where
father, mother, sons, daughters, grand
children, each playing his part like the
so many pipes of the temple organ,
sounding and resounding in multi
tudinous keys of the synagogue choire
of love, of affection, of devotion, of
care, of sorrow, Of practical help and
kindly encouragement near at home
or miles away in tender memory and
holy devotion, all stirred and deeply
moved into that enchanting strain of
family union-my dead father, my
dear mother.
And still the song of those baby
voices, now fathers and mothers

WOMEN CARDPLAYERS.

The card-playing among women, to
which reference has been made num-
Der of times in this column during
the last four or five years, has, it
seems, not only not abated any, but
has increased. Not only the numerous
whists which are called mere pastime
games, but poker has just as strong a
hold upon women as ever.
Hundreds of women, aye, thousands
of them, are neglecting their household
duties to indulge, afternoon upon af-
ternoon. in the so-called pastime. At
some of these games drinks are served
and incidents of women tottering
homewards have been noted, and re-
Gently a woman returning from the
whist had to be helped home by
gentleman acquaintance who met her
in the car.
The game of poker in which women
are indulging has also, to the knowl-

themselves, continues, only little
sadder, softer and more tender some
thing of the funeral march echoes in
their voices. The snow of the many
wears at last has settled upon their
wise heads You know, sister faith
er and mother have actually grown
gray" and somehow her sisters hand
slips into hers and warm tear rolls
down her cheek.
Until the last moment and after
wards, while humanity lives, the same
tune shall be played, varied accord
ing to the season, from the simple
prattlc of children to the maturer
hymn of manhood to the final grand
prelude of final homeward going.
Dear friends, do you want me to
tell YOU who has learned to sing that
song of happy home in all its detail,
from the mothers devotion in in
fancy to the family's hope in middle
life and to the love and care in old
age? Love and sympathy, not only
in feeling, but practical aid in money.
Sons, daughters, grandchildren, hearts
open and pc2ketbooks likewise, all
worshipping before the altar of an
aged father and mother and low
ing, respected grandmother and grand
father. I say, if you truly wish to
realize this holy beauty look into
your own homes, &C visit true

edge of the writer, brought about sew
eral separations between husband and
wife. When women start in these
games they become veritable fiends,
and the grip it has upon them is sim
ply amazing.
Aside from the trouble this ''pastime'
breeds amongst many adults is the
dreadful example it presents to the
children. The number of children of
ten, eleven, and twelve years of age
who are adopts in the games of casino
pinochle, whist, and even poker, is
simply amazing. Any one of observ-
ing nature has been able to witness
this at the summer resorts and winter
resorts as we'll.
The plea and excuse for these in
dulgences by the elder women is, that
it is a pastime and kills time. Yes,
that is true, and in many instances
depletes the pocket-book which can't
afford it and breeds trouble a plenty
in many directions.

MORE PERSECUTION.

The American Jewish Committee is
just in receipt of advices from entirely
trustworthy sources in Berlin, stating
that the expulsion of Jews from va
rious cities in Russia has reached a
magnitude never heretofore attained.
Whereas formerly, even in Won Pie
HIVES time, those threatened with eX-
pulsion by the caprice of local COVER
nors were enabled to get protection
through the ministry of the interior,
now it is the ministry itself from
which the orders for the expulsion en-
anate. At the present moment, hum
dreds of families that have lived for
decades in Kieff, Riga, Kasan and
Woronesch are being driven out.
SEPARATE CHURCH AND STATE.
The Great Council of the Canton of
Basic has unanimously adopted a
measure for the separation of Church
and State. Hitherto Jews and Roman
Catholics were compelled to contrib
ute towards the maintenance of the
two established churches-the Evan
gelical and the Old Catholic-but this
state of affairs will cease when the
new law comes into force, l. e., after a
reference to the popular vote, the re-
suit of which leaves no room for
doubt

MAYOR J. A. COTNER
SAYS CLEAN Up
BUT URGES THAT EVERY GOOD
CITIZEN OF CARTER COUNTY
ASSIST BY DOING DUTY.

Il am certainly in hearty accord
with the movement of the city and
county officials inaugurated recently
TO make this a clean town, and |
will do everything in my power to
assist in the cause said James A.
Cotner, mayor of the city, yesterday.
But" continued Mr.. Cotner, 1t is
very necessary that the citizens Of
the city and county lend their hear
ty support to the officers in the
discharge of their duty. 1t has been
charged in times past that the Off
GERS of the city and county were
rather derelict in their duty, l--t
want to say to you that though
in some instances this might have
been the case, yet the citizens are
as much if not more to blame than
the officers for the reinforcement
of the law. For instance, the Off
GERS will cause the arrest of a num-
Der of men charged with selling
whiskey, they make bond and are
released till the regular term of
the county court. The jury commits
sion will meet and empanel a jury
to serve the term and as a rule
some of our best business and pro.
fessonal men are drawn, instead of
doing their duty as gooi citizens,
they begin to hunt for an excuse
and plead with the judge to be
discharged from jury service, as
they usually come armed with a
good excuse their request is grant
ed, the result, our juries are made
up of men selected from the rural
who are not altogether
familiar with the circumstances,
they are all honest men, and sworn
to decide the case according to the
law and the evidence in the case,
and as the accused bootlegger has
about three witnesses to the states
one there is but one result, and that
is an acquittal On the other hand
were our juries, especially in these
whiskey cases, composed of men
vino were familiar with the condi-
tons as they actually exist, who
were able of their own knowledge
with due regard to the credibilitv
Of the witnesses, there would be
more convictions. Let every citizen
of the city and county do their
part and they will find that the
officers will do theirs from the dis.
trict judge down to a township con-
stable"

A 100000 PIE
CHANGES OVER
THE DEMOCRATS SWING THE
HOUSE PATRONAGE AFTER 16
YEARS.

Washington, Nov. 14.-More than
100000 annually is the patronage
prize the democrats have won by
their capture of the house of repre-
sentatives. The entire amount, with
the exception of $4,000 or $1,000,
which went TO a few minority clerks,
was paid to republican employees, in
Guiding the many officers of the
house, their assistants and clerks,
messengers, secretaries to commit
tees, janitors and other employees.
Added to this was more than $4,000,
which went for extraordinary serv-
ices TO special employees.
1t will have been sixteen years next
March since the democrats had con-
troll of the house, and, with the eX-
reption of the six reporters of de-
bates. all of whom are experts and
are never disturbed by a change or
the political complexion of the house,
there will be clean sweep of the
republican employees.
The most important office is that
of clerk of the house, at present
held by Alexander Mcdowell, eXrep-
resentative from Pennsylvania, whose
salary is $4,000 a year. Other soft
berths are that of postmaster door
keeper and sergeant-at-arms. Other
places on the rolls, with the eXcep-
tion of the chaplaincy and the clerk
ships of committees-the personal
patronage of the respective chair
men-are under those officers.
The new speaker has the right 10
name the parliamentary clerk, des-
ignated as the clerk at the speak
er's table" and who receives sal
ary of $4,000 year. Asher Kinds,
congressman-elect from Maine, Is
the present holder of the position
Also the speaker will name his prl-
vate secretary, whose salary is $4,000.
In case Champ Clark becomes speak
er he will name Wallace Bassford ol
Mexico. Mo, for that place. Mr.. Bass
ford has been Mr.. Clark's secretary
and right-hand man number OF
years.
1t is probable the Rev. Henry n.
Couden, the blind chaplain, may he
retained by the democrats, as he is
personally popular with them, and
once before when the republicans
had the house they refused to oust
a blind democratic clergyman who
had for years prayed for the welfare
of the members.
Next in importance to the Officers
of the house, with their scores OF
minor jobs to dispose Of, come the
committee clerkships more than sixty
some of them paying as high as S3'-
900 a year. Here and there clerk
will be retained, as James C. Courts,
clerk to the committee on approprl-
tions, whose services are regarded as
invaluable. He is a democrat who
has survived eight successive repu5-
lican administrations of the house.

TROUBLE WITH
NEGROES At DURANT
SHERIFF INTERCEPTED CROWD
OF WHITE MEN-ARBlTRATlON
FOLLOWED AND QUIET RElGNS

Durant, Okla, Nov. 4.-Serious
race trouble was averted here Fri
day night by the prompt action of
Sheriff A. S. Hamilton when he in
tercepted crowd of more than
a hundred men and boys en- route
to the plant of the Durant Cotton
Compress company for the avowed
purpose of running eleven negro
employees out of town. The sheriff
promised the men if they would de-
sist he would endeavor to settle
the trouble Saturday morning.
No negroes are allowed to remain
in Durant, but during the cotton
season negroes are employed at the
compress because white la5orers will
not work at the block on account
of the dust and lint. This season
laDorers have been scarce and ad-
ditional negroes were employed to
help cart the cotton to and from
the cars and from the yard to the
compress. This, together with the
fact separate drinking barrels and
separate toilets were not provided,
caused the forty or more white la
borers to revolt.
The arbitration instituted by the
sheriff resulted in the men getting
all they were contending for, and
the negroes not employed on the
press were discharged and sent out
OF town.

Secrets of Family Life.

You can't keep a secret long in a
family. In case of stomach trouble, like
constipation and such things, it is
wrong to keep 1t a secret. Tell the
folks about it. Ask mother what you
should take. Thousands of wise. in
telligent parents know the value of DR..
Caldwel's Syrup Pepsin in all stomach,
liver and bowel troubles. 1t is the
great reliable family laxative. It is
the delight of babies, who take to 1t
readily It's gentle action, purity and
freedom from gripping recommend 1t to
everybody. All druggists sell 1t at
so cents and 81 a bottle. Try a bottle
today and you will always have it on
