fight Of the century, for eighteen
months the paramount topic Of the
world of sports.
On Monday we are to see the con-
summation, the battle Of the cen.

physical supremacy between the white

We draw the canoe to the shelter
of some bushes, 60 ashore, and haul
1t softly up. Then the caller takes
the horn which is used to aid the
voice. It Is about two feet long,
shaped much like the receiver Of a
gramophone, and is fashioned Of
birch bark bound with string or
sinew. He places the small end to
his lips, pointing the large open end
straight upward, and swinging his
body in rhythm with his voice, gives
out a moaning below, as wild and
sad a sound as can well be mag
ined. That is the first call; the sec,
ond is precisely similar, but the
third Is more drawn out-longer,
wilder, more abandoned, and II
wakes the echoes in earnest. Then,
replacing the birch bark horn in the
canoe, he sQuats down. He will not
call again for half an hour, and it
IS unlikely that he will get an an
swer under half that time. Nor is
this much to be wondered at when
one considers that a good caller can
throw his voice some four miles;
and the farther away the moose is
the more chance there is of his an.
swering, for distance is all in the
callers favor, covering, as it does
any faultiness Of imitation.-World

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Public abuse demonstrates that a
man may be literally kicked into
prominence.
There are lots of better actresses
off the stage than on.
The girls who have the most cheek
seldom use it in blushing.
Many a self-made man had pretty
poor material to begin with.
In the matter of tongues even a
woman should be able to hold her
own.
Any man can fool a woman, pro-
vided she doesn't fool him first.
Love frequently starves to death
trying to see how little it can live on.
A woman never sees a mans
worst side til she becomes his better
half.
1t isn't altogether politeness that
causes us to bow to the inevitable.
No man has such horror of old
age as to want to die young.
When a widow reads her hus-
bands obituary she is apt to be sur
prised to learn what fine man he
really was.
Come straight to the point and
people will say that you are blunt.
Lots of us never know what we
want till we realize we can't get it.
The doctor should see that his pa
tients are well heeled.
Tell the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth-that is.

The Roman Senate.

The Roman Senate had for many
centuries but 800 members, selected
from the Patricians, or Aristecrats.
The Office Of Senator was for life. The
body was practically supreme in mat.
tiers of legislation and administration.
The majority of votes decided a ques-
ton, and the order in which the vot-
ing took place was invariably de.
termined by rank, beginning with the
president and ending with the quas-
tors. The Senators wore on their tu-
mics broad purple stripe-a badge Of
distinction, like modern decoration
and they had the exclusive right to
precedence at theatres, the amphi-
theatre and all other public gather
ings

THE MAID AND THE CANARY.

She watched the canary, ~
This maiden contrary,
So busily preening himself
In the sun;
His feathers he oiled
With his bill, and he toiled
< To smooth and to polish
Each disarranged one.
He pulled out the stray ones,
The ragged and gray ones,
His wee little body
He shook in delight, s7 e
He eyed himself gravely,
Then, satisfied, bravely
"A whisthng sonata
He gave with his might.
ooh, Dick" cried the lass,
"Shall | buy you a glass?
You're all the time fussing
And primping, | swear;
You're all the time shining
Your feathers, or dining,
To make yourself pretty
Seems only your care.
The way that you slick
Up your feathers, now, Dick,
And spend so much time
On your looks is absurd,
You vain little, proud little,
Stuck up young bird"
Then she fixed her back hair,
And reached down somewhere
For a soft chamois rag,
And she powdered her nose,
And Strengthened her belt,
And she, womanike, felt
At the back, to be sure
OF Just what, goodness knows.
From his perch Dick looked down,
As she fused with her gown,
And Strengthened each pleat,
As all women oft do.
And he said with jerk
OF his head and a smirk:
"When it comes to concelt
I've nothing on yor."

MY mother used to have a very

doctors called an eczema, and for 1t
had two different doctors Her head
was very sore and her hair nearly all

they were speaking OF how her hair

you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura

was over and her hair began growing.

Preparations for Opening Of City
Schools.

On Monday, September 9Th, the
city schools will open for another
years work. Some repair work is
now going on, and the building has
been thoroughly fumigated and
cleansed. Present prospects indicate
that in the matter of enrolment the
coming year will surpass any that
has passed, and with the able force
of teachers who have been secured
there is no reason why the standard
of work should not measure well up
to that of any preceding year.
Work has been started on the new
building to be erected in north Mon
roe. This building, though it is to
be neither large nor expensive, will
fill a pressing need and will be suffi-
cient for the demands Of that COM
munity for some time to come.
1t will be remembered that several
teachers resigned at the close of the
last year. They were Misses Edna
Harris, Frances Alexander, Bright
Ogburn, Nancy Watkins and Prof.
G. f. Phillips. The list Of teachers
as completed for the coming year in
cludes the following: Lancaster
avenue: Misses Mary Davis, Florida
Morris, Susie Covington, Mamie Rob-
inson, Ona Long, Anna Blair, Annie
Stewart, Bessie Widenhouse, Helen
Morrow, Bessie Dunlap, Lillian kib-
Ter and Prof. Horace Stewart; north
Monroe: Misses Mildred Stephenson
and Lydia Benton.
The rule adopted at the beginning
of last year regarding admissions to
the first grade will apply this year
as last. No student will be admit
ted who has not passed his sixth
birthday, and these will not be adj
mitted after October LIST unless they
shall be able to keep up with the
work of the classes.
The citizens of Monroe are called
upon to stand together in support OF
the schools that they may be made
what thew should be.

What's This?
nuIe and Buggy Recovered.

The Skies Company have recov-
cred the mule and buggy that one
]. w. Rollins drove of on the eighth
when he eloped with his step-daugh-
ter, who had been married only a
short time before. Posters describ-
ing the turnout, the man and the
girl, were sent out over four states
by Chief Laney and it was not
long before word came from the
sheriff at Columbia that the mule
and buggy had been captured.
Messsrs. V. d. Skies and Bob May
went down Thursday and identified
the mule, the buggy and the harness,
all of which had been sold to Rol-
Inns on chattel mortgage. When
the sheriff found the property it was
in the hands of a man who claimed
that he had bought it from another
man who answered the description
Of Rollins. 1t is supposed that Rol-
Inns and the young woman took the
train at Columbia, as nothing had
been seen of them. Mr.. Bob May
brought the outfit back through the
country.

Court for the Trial OF Civil Causes.

Judge W. X. Allen began a two
weeks term of court yesterday for
the trial of civil causes. Two cases
we're disposed Of yesterday. Mrs.
Georgia Mingus was granted d.
vorce from her husband, F. H. Min
gus. In the case Of the Equitable
Manufacturing Company against E.
A. Collins, the jury answered all the
issues in favor Of the defendant.
This was on a contract for jewelry,
which Mr.. Collins claimed was taken
on consignment to be sold, and the
company claimed that it was bought
outright.
Judge Allen is now busy going
over the testimony in the case Of
John Mathew, the negro who was
found guilty with Charles B. Plyler
for the murder of Parks, with a view
Of determining whether or not a new
trial shall be granted Mathew.

rlajor Houston Kills Durham Nc
Manus.

Major Houston, a darby who has
for a number Of years been cloth
ing cleaner here, killed Durham Nc.
Manus, another negro well known
about town, Sunday night. Major
claims that when he went home Sat
urday night he found that his wife
was gone, and on making a search
found her at the house Of a neighbor
and that McManus was with her.
On the approach of Major, McManus
ran. The next night he got gun
and went to look for McManus to
talk the matter over, and that the
latter started to attack him and he
shot. The other side say that Major
called McManus out Of the house
where he was and shot him as he
came out. A big load Of shot went
into the bowels Of McManus and he
died at 2 o'clock this morning.
Major is in Jail. He was arrested
Sunday night and carried to Jail by
Tom Davis, a negro. Tom seems to
have acted the part Of an officer from
good motives. On one occasion when
he had been arrested for some slight
offence, Chief Laney took his recog-
nizance for appearance at the record
er's court and Tom skipped MIR.
Laney sent 10 Charlotte and brought
