Case of Pauline Wade.
The case of Pauline Wade which was
Investigated thoroughly last Friday. so
far from rejecting on Mr.. Buchanan,
showed a fine example OF constructive
charity, and the girl herself testified
that under Mrs. Buchanan's guidance
she was supporting and clothing hor-
self, boarding in a respectable home,
putting money regularly in a savings

| Evidence in the case of the man named
Burke, who was cited by Mr.. Goddin

brought out the fact that he had be-

proved also something of a boomerang

Bulletin No. 212. of the North Car
DINA Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton, by DR.. F. L. Stevens, which has
just appeared from the press, gives
full directions for preventing the va
rious smuts Of oats and wheat
These are due TO little living par
asite plants which grow within the
wheat and oat plants. They cause
large loss, cutting down the yield of
grain often as much as 90 per cent. or
even 80 per cent, while the sinking
smut of wheat does much greater
damage by injuring the milling quail
ty of the grain.
The formalin treatment, which is
thoroughly effective and costs almost
nothing, is described and recommend
ed for oat smut. The same treatment
is even more effective than the ordi-
nary b1ue-stone treatment for the
sinking smut in wheat. The loose
smut of wheat can be prevented by
modified hot water treatment,
coupled with separate growth of seed
in protected seed plat.
Director G. B. Williams, West Raj
eigh, N. c., states that these diseases
cause thousands upon thousands of
dollars Of loss every year to the oat
and wheat crops of the State and
that this bulletin was prepared es-
pecially to give farmers at this time
the latest and most effective means of
combating these diseases. He states
that copy of this bulletin may be Sc
cured by any resident of North Caro-
lima, free of cost, upon application to
him.

HOW TO SELECT GUESTS,

In entertaining small companies
do not make the mistake of inviting
the same people to meet each other
too often. II you have a party Of
six musical people it will be enjoy
able for them to sing, play or talk
music to one another once or twice
But remember that many people who
can neither sing nor play any instru-
ment enjoy music passionately. In
vite these non-musicians to meet one
or two of those who make music. II
you know two or three people who
love books and reading, bring them
together some evening. Ask one of
them to read aloud a new short story
or magazine sketch, or an old but
perhaps unfamiliar one. IL you have
among your friends two good story
tellers, do not invite them to enter
tain each other, but ask people whom
you know will enjoy their stories to
meet each from time to time. Every
one loves an appreciative listener
especially one who is free from the
uneasy spur of competition.-Ada G.
Sweet, in Woman's Home Compan-
ion.

Beautiful teeth are a source OF ex-

cally 10 their possessors: and. most
important OF all, what they mean
from the viewpoint OF health, for a
get OF healthy teeth are like a watch
dog guarding the portals OF the body,
whereas poorly kept teeth are like
the broken-down fences, leaking
roof and weed-grown gardens, indt-
cative Of shiftlessness and sloth. We
cannot begin too early In life to care
for the teeth, and mothers are singu-
larly negligent In watching the con-
dition Of their children in this par
ticular. Many believe 1t unnecessary
to give any attention to the tempo
rary or milk-teeth; as a matter of
fact, these teeth aid in the growth
and development of the second or
permanent ones, which absorb the
milk-teeth as they push their way
forward.
Children should be taught, as soon

whatever, that the toilet of the
mouth is an essential part of the
daily regime, and be provided with
their own set of dental preparations,
including a baby toothbrush of cam

dren will 'go at" the cleansing pro-
cess too vehemently, and so bruise
the delicate tissues of the mouth.
They must be taught how to hold the
brush, how to sift the powder upon
it (never dip the toothbrush into the
powder), and how to apply it in gen.
tie strokes, which should not be
across the teeth, or in circular move
ments, but in the direction of their
growth, so that the spaces between
the teeth are cleansed.-The Define

The Democratic press, in the main,
seems to think that the Republican
party is down and out in this State
for all time to come, on account OF
the recent Democratic landslide, but
in this they will find themselves mis-
taken, as they have been in most
other prophecies. While it is little
hard for Republicans to see, in the
present defeat blessing for the flu
ture of the party, yet the defeat is
beyond question blessing in dis
guise
For the last few years we have had
too many factions in the party for eff
fective work.
The present defeat has taught the
factions that they must get together
and use their ammunition on the en-
envy and not on each other 1t will
not surprise us to see a great Re-
publican victory follow this defeat
in 1912.
The Charlotte Chronicle has al
ready seen the handwriting on the
wall and has the following to say in
a recent issue on this line:
eff there are those who think that
the Republican party in this State
will give up and quit, they would do
well to undeceive themselves. There
will be a new alignment and a re-or-
ganization of the forces for the Pres
idential year and the fight will be
even more vigorous than it was in
the recent campaign. It is not prob
able, either. that the party will have
the handicap it labored under this
year. The old scores have been
evened up, bloody faces will be wash
ed and the next campaign will see the
Republicans united and out for bust
ness. The probabilities are, too, that
the Democrats will be fortified by
too much confidence. The licking
Of the Republicans in this State viii
only do them good and put them in a
more troublesome mood for the next
fight.

PLAYING PRACTICAL JOKES.

A young man in an Indiana town
thought it great sport to ring an
apothecary's night bell, and have him
come to the door. and find nobody
waiting. The pastime was adopted
by other roguish youths, until finally
the apothecary was forced to discon-
meet the bell. A few weeks later,
when he was wanted in real earnest,
it took long time to convince him
Of the fact, and the delay cost the
life of a baby sister of the original
joker.
A girl who mounted Autographs in
a New York factory, slipped bit Of
strong-smelling cheese into a pack
age of prints that ordinarily would
have been inspected by "chum,"
who was relied upon to remedy the
mischief. In the holiday rush, how
ever, the usual routine was set aside,
and the tainted package made a part
Of large shipment. The consignees
promptly rejected the whole lot, and
the proprietor of the factory then dis
charged every girl employed in the
room where the joke was played.
A Colorado ranchman loaded" a
purse in such manner that when 1t
was opened, substance supposed to
be harmless would explode. with a
loud report. The purse was meant
for birthday present to his sister,
who had played a joke on him; but
her little son got hold Of 1t, and the
explosion blinded him.
A single issue of a newspaper rec
ords these happenings Of one of the
last days Of 1908. Such incidents
are always numerous enough, but
there should be fewer of them report
ed during 1909. Tricks Of this sort
are seldom meant unkindly.-but the
trouble is that they hardly ever work
out as they were planned, and when
they go wrong, the innocent seem
most liable to suffer.-The Youths
