Care Of Wardrobe Closet.

There is general idea among women
that all they have to do with this piece
of furniture is TO hang their gowns and
coats in it, and keep the doors shut
Consequently a faint, musty odor is
often to be found when the door is
opened
To do away with this, the contents Of
the entire wardrobe should be removed
every week or SO and the door left
open
Occasionally it should be scrubbed
with soap and water, rinsed with water
in which are a few drops Of disinfectant,
and then left open TO dry
Part Of each day, if only for few
minutes, the door should be left open.

a WHITE man is as good as a negro
50 long as he behaves himself"
For a long time after arriving at
me HUB the Wilson county pro-
duct got along favorably as waiter f..
a cafe where he served pork and
beans with Goldfish on the side. he
was elated over the change in con u
lions and for a while became chumnN
with the white bucks of the iowa
who mustered" him on every oCc.-
sion. The Wilson black was free with
MS money and as long as he could
roll the dough his white chums stuck
TO him as close as the bark on 3
tree.
However. after a while the "bla,~
Tar Heel lost his jon. and it wasn't
long before he was ION the hog" He
appealed to those with whom he had
been so liberal while he was on easy
street" To every one to whom he
applied for relief he got the same re-
ply. Il am really sorry for You,
Mister, but the fact is I'm out of funds
today
This state Of affairs went on for
several days, and in the meantime
the poor soul became desperate. He
concluded to go to the homes of some
of the gentlemen whom he had SO
faithfully served while acting as a
waiter in the cafe and beg them for a
morsel to we him from starvation.
Accordingly he climbed the steps Of
several brown stone fronts and told
MS pltful story. The eSponSe to
his appeals, in every instance, was
the same: I'VE are SO sorry for you.
Mister, but We take our meals out, and
besides we have no money"
The disheartened, deluded negro
then went out in a park to cogitate
over what was best for him to do;
he had tried in every direction to
secure employment, but failed. Fin
ally he made up his mind that he
would make one more attempt at
begging, and if he failed in that he
would end all by suicide.
So, he mounted the steps Of another
fine residence and rang the bell. The
gentleman Of the house when he
opened the door and saw who his
caller was, demanded: You
damned black rascal, why do YOU
come to my front door? When you
have any business with any one in this
house, you want to go around the
back way-do you hear, you black

The negro went down on his. marrow

his eyes to heaven, he replied: BLESS
