CONSERVATION.

The bugbear of the little mind
or our petty politician kind,
Is conservation-saye the trees,
And save the streams, for all of these
Are being wasted ruthlessly
BY corporate, mean conspiracy.
What pity he heard some bigger men
Speak this word beyond his ken;
But now he has il off by rote.
He has crammed it down his marrow
throat,
For straight he found this word 70
be
From Webster's big dick-shin-er-e,
"A wilful, woeful, wicked waste
BY men of avaricous taste"
For all our nations natural wealth
They make their own by cunning
stealth.
So he gives his injured feelings vent
In wildcat schemes not worth cent.
He hands them to MS gratis, free,
And yainly tries to make us re-
AliZe that he indeed's the man
TO work reforms-we're sure he

breeze.

and she felt her years. She felt the quarrel

and doubt ess she was in Johns arms.
She heard Johns deep voice presently.

made her feel angrier that there was such
feast of love for this little squalling baby,
and no crumbs of affection for herself.
She looked out in the starry darkness with
out stirring, till the lights went out below,
and John shut the doors and turned the
keys, and slipped the bolts, and came up
stairs humning softly.
"Well, Queen of Sheba!" she heard him
say; and she knew that his wife was smiling
at him from the bedroom door.
"Well, silly old Solomon said the girl
laughingly.
She thought that she heard kiss, before
their door closed :. A house of love!
And no crumbs for heri She closed the
window, and made VOW with clasped
hands; registered it even in her prayers,
and asked for strength to keepit. For they
knew that she was encountered with charity
and mercifulness, in spite of her sharp
tongue and eyes and ears; and John was
the only child of her only sister; and she had
forgiven many enemies in her time. "And

posthumous pleasure in the composition
of Inscriptions to be carved in stonework.

quest of Caroline Smith, spinster." "The

look, well, she thought, over front door;
and she was doubtful which she preferred.
She carried out her VOW, as those quiet,
still resolutions are carried out; was peevish,
unreasonable, sharp-spoken, and ungrateful.
She harried John until he found the bag,
and then she scarcely thanked him for it.
She did not even offer to pay the expenses
of his search, though she knew that they
must have been considerable to one whose
means were so limited. She overheard the
Boy and the Girl disputing who should
sacrifice something to meet the shortage.
They were always so considerable of each
other, and they adored the greedy little
baby. That made their behavior to her
all the worse, of course. They were not
people who couldn't care for her, she argued,
but people who wouldn't.
She displayed great ingenuity in finding
speeches to annoy them. John, she dis
covered, was sore at his slow progress in
business. He was, In fact, a Jealous and
able man, and only lacked opportunity,
because the heads of his firm had sons, and
put them over him. This was the specter

. her young friends who had succeeded. Of
course, she asserted, people succeeded just
as much as they deserved; and the worst
failures were those who whined. He told
her that he did not whine for himself any,
how. His great reason for desiring pros
perity was to buy things for the Girl.
Aunt Caroline became full of information
about the way in which her successful
young friends decked out their young
wives. "John decks me out with love and
Kindness" the Girl said. Aunt Caroline
remarked that that was not unusual while
wife was pretty and young.
Christine, she found, had several sore
points. First and foremost she was sore
that Johns talents-which she held to be
of an astonishing magnitude not
meet with due recognition; so that by an
noying John on this subject Aunt Caro-
line could annoy his wife also. Secondly,
Christine had extraordinary decisions upon
the subject Of the baby. Unfortunately,

MONARCH MILL
Visited by Fire Monday Night and
a Big Warehouse Partially
Destroyed, Together With
Considerable Wheat
and Corn.

Monday night about II O'Clock
the fire department was called to
the warehouse of the Monarch
Mill Company, located just back
of the mill. The fire was well I'M
der Roadway and before it could
be extinguished considerable dam
age had been done to the building
and car load of wheat and a
large amount of corn was destroy
ed.
The warehouse of the Trimble
Grocery Company was also dam
aged, mostly by water, but the
loss to its contents will be heavy.
The damage to the two ware
houses will amount to several thou
sand dollars, partially covered by
insurance. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but it is thought to
have been caused by a hot box on
some part of the machinery.

A Much Beloved Woman, Dies
Suddenly of Paralysis on
Richmond Avenue Sat-
IS urday Night.

Mrs. Mary j. Anderson died
suddenly Saturday night of pa
ralysis at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. j. d. Harper, on Rich
mond Avenue. Mrs. Anderson
had only been sick a few days.
Deceased was in her seventy-fifth
year and had been in splendid
health until few days before her
death. She had been a resident
of this county for many years and
was a most excellent Christian
woman, widely known and loved.
She had long been a widow, her
husband, Wayne Anderson, hav-
ing preceded her to the grave
many years ago.
Funeral services were held on
Monday afternoon at four O'Clock
at the residence of Mrs. j. ID.
Harper and were conducted by
Rev. II. @. Moody, the Presbyte-
rian minister, of which church
Mrs. Anderson had been a mem
Der for many years. She is sur.
vived by two daughters, Mrs. E.
II. Patterson, of Pineville, and
Mrs. j. d. Harper, of this city.
The city and county has sus-
tanned a great loss in the death OF
this excellent woman, but it should
be great source of consolation tC

was life well spent in the service
of her Lord. The ADVOCATE eX
