which had been placed In the hall. Mrs. Heart smiled In the most surprised and pleased way and said he would better carry the box Into the living room where 1t could be opened while Charlie was at work with his evening chores.
 And so, while Mrs. Heart kept Charlie busy for half an hour running errands and at one thing and another, Mr. David was very busy opening tue heavy box and arranging something behind a tall screen near to the door which opened Into the dlning-room. When everything was done to his taste he went to Mrs. Heart and said: Now, Mary, you must ask me to show book to Tom as soon as we have exchanged greetings at the dinner table. I'll say 1t Is in my bag in the living-room and will go there to get It. Presto-passi Charlie's surprise will then be set in mo- tion."
 That evening. exactly at ! o'clock Mir. Tom Heart came home. He found his wife and son waiting for him at the gate. "Dinner is all ready, Papa" smiled Mrs. Heart
 And I'm hungry enough to do 1t jus tice. Mamma mine," laughed Mir. Heart, kissing his wife and skipping Charlie on the shoulder How are you PalT' he asked of Charlie.
 Hungry enough to eat my hat" de- clared Charlie.
 Within five minutes Mir. Heart. Mrs. Heart and Tom were at table, and just as Mir. Heart was about to offer thanks for the meal set before him. a step was heard and he glanced to his left to see a tall, grey-bearded gentleman seating him self calmly at table. Of course, the sur prise was splendid, and there never were two happier brothers than the Heart brothers. and MT. Tom could scarcely get his mind on the dinner long enough to serve it, for he had so many questions to ask of Mir David about his trip, etc
 "Oh, David, show Tom the book you brought to him." And Mrs. Heart looked as innocent as though she were not party to scheme" Then Mir. David

Uncle David. But he says business must be looked after by himself every hour till closing time. So I have conceived the idea of a happy surprise for. papa. We'll not tell him that his brother, dear old Uncle David, is here. We'll just have dinner all ready when papa comes home. and after he has seated himself at the head of the table I'll slip to the living room and beckon to Uncle Da- vid to come in. He'll quietly walk in and sit at papas left. Then, won't papa |. look surprised? And won't he be hap py? He hasn't seen his brother for three years"

 Charlie went into he big front yard and completed raking away the fallen leaves. He had begun the work early that morning it being Saturday,. and now he hoped to have the yard looking ''ship-shape" before his uncle should ar rive. He had dropped the work an hour ago, then planning to rest before dress ing to attend the concert In the city. But now that he should have to give up the concert. he might as well work half

 'It's for you, charlie-you alone. Of course, Nanny and Daddy may listen to its playing ing-occasionally. And he winked and grinned at his brother, who was laughing from sheer joy. Charlie had wanted A phonograph-a fine one = for ever so long. but Mr. Heart had not felt able to buy one so soon after spending so much on the new home.
 ..Now we can have concerts all the time." Charlie declared. his face alight. ."I don't think there Is anything else I have wanted so much as fine phono- graph. Oh. uncle. thank you 6 million times!''

stedman Nomination Surprise.

Raleigh July 29.-The an
nouncement of the nomination of
Major Stedman at Greensboro yes
terday for congress came as a con
siderable surprise in official and
political circles here, the impress
sion having been pretty general
that there had been a trade in the
Judicial nomination that assured
Judge Jones the nomination for
congress. Some take it that the
final victory of Stedman shows
that there was no trade In the ju-
dicial nomination. Others con-
tend that there was a trade but
that after the publicity and stir
that was made about it the dele
gates involvel in the trade would
not stand for the delivery of the
goods" Their is much satisfac-
ton expressed at the nomination
of Major Stedman and at the same
time it is declared for his erst-
while opponents that they are not
all losers as they can but abund-
antly make good in their profes-
sions and have plenty of time for
the qualification of their political
aspirations. AS for Judge Jones
having resigned his judgeship to
make the race for congress and
lost, it is pointed out that he had
nothing at stake financially since
there has not been a time in many
years that his income from his
practice was very considerably
more than the salary he received
for the judgeship.

The announcement in yester-

nous First Regiment Band of
AsheYille would be at the Park,
Laurel Park, of course, on next
Wednesday, was a subject of gen.
era1 comment today. This will be
the first of a series of concerts to
be given there by this well known
organization, and it is safe to say
there will be a crowd there to
greet them. Asheville is proud
of her crack band, and it, is, of
course, but right and fitting that
they should come to this town that
has the crowd.

OF the Personal Liberty League. and
the latter that Of the Anti-Saloon
League and favoring Prohibition. The
attempt will be made in the next gen.

option, so that in case county as q
whole votes dry" no city or town
within Its borders may have licensed
saloons. no matter how large the ma
1ority In favor of such saloons may
have been in such city or town. The
effect would be to deprive commune
