No home, too, should be without

Some Americans in Mexico After Am

Mexico City, July "a movement
was started in the American colonies
here to-day to petition the depart
ment at Washington to transfer Am
bassador Henry Wilson from the
scene of his present activities because
of lack of respect for the National
American hymn, the ambassador be-
ing so busy eating when it was play
ed yesterday that he did not rise to
his feet.
The incident which has caused so
much comment occurred at the Presi-
Dental dinner party. The famous
Mexican military band was playing
America out of compliment to the
day. AS soon as the familiar strains
of the opening bars were heard Pres
ident De La Barra, who was seated
next to Mr.. Wilson, asked the am
bassador if it was not customary
while the hymn was played in the
United States to rise, the President
rising as he spoke. Ambassador Will
son replied: I've are eating; what's
the use?" By this time everybody

WHY HE MARRIED SMALL WO-

Wilkes County Man Said He Didn't

Saturdays Winston Journal con-

''On the excursion that came down
from Wilkesboro yesterday was a
man about six feet tall, weighed
about $50 pounds and is sixty-two

striking contrast was his wife, who
is very little over three feet tall,

Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Gregory, of
North Wilkesboro. They have been
married seven years and have had
four children, all of whom died in
infancy.
"Mr. Gregory had been married be-
/ fore. In talking of the second mar
riage, he said that he could have
married either of two or three large
buxom women instead of his little
wife, who is slightly deformed. He
explained, however, that he married
this woman just to keep house fol-
him and said that he did not want q
large woman, who would boss him
and drag him around just as she
wanted to. Both of them seem tc

ONE BOYS INSPIRATION.

A musician who is attracting wide
attention in England, is a blind box
sixteen years old Deprived Of sight
when he was ten years of age, he
spent two years in darkness and
dependency, from which he was
aroused one morning by the singing
of a canary bird. 1t occurred to him
how limited was the birds equip
ment for life, and yet how cheerfully
and beautifully the little creature ex-
pressed the joy Of it's heart.
This was the boys inspiration. He
remembering the debt of gratitude
he owed to the canary, he tried his
best to win the little yellow fellows
companionship. He practiced on his
violin close to the cage; the bird en-
tered into the spirit of the thing, ca
rolling his sweetest notes to the
strains Of the boys music.
Finally the bird grew is tame, I'M
der kind treatment, that he would fly
out of the open door of the cage, light
on the blind boys bow, and sing il
unison, as the lad drew the bow
across the strings. The boy has thus
found not only a means of cultivating
joy in his own soul and expressing it
but he and the bird are giving exhi.
billions at large profit, and the boy
has found his means of livelihood

Lenoir News. ]

Lenoir News.
The entertainment OF the North
Carolina Press Association at Lenoir,
Blowing Rock, Boone, Linville and
Edgemont last week was one round
of pleasure and above criticism except
for one unfortunate blunder at the
Blowing Rock Hotel, where most of
the editorial party stopped. At that
particular place the management
seems not to have grasped the idea
that the chief benefit to be derived
from the visit of the newspaper folks
was the free advertising each MEM
Der of the party would give our sec
ton of the State and the visitors
packed into the hotel in some in
stances four in a room and two to a
bed. The management acted upon
the short-sighted> plan of catch all
you can and KEEP all you get" in
stead Of sending some of them to
other hotels and clearinghouse
where accommodations were plenti-
full. Under these circumstances the
service was not what it should have
been, and it ELECTED some severe crit
icism. In addition to this, the special
rate made the editorial party and
agreed to, but the contract violated.
While the regular rate at the hotel is
50 per day, Mr.. Moore, the manager,
| made a special rate to the editors OF
| 81 per day. The party arrived at
| Blowing Rock Hotel Wednesday eve
| ming for supper and lodging. They
went to Boone for dinner Thursday
and were given supper that night by
| the citizens of Blowing Rock, return
| ing to the hotel for lodging and fol-
breakfast on Friday morning. Accord
| ing to the agreement this would have
been $1.25 for each person. Grant
| ing that the hotel was permitted tc
charge for the two meals not taker
at the house on Thursday, the tota
| charge should nave been $1.75 in
each case, but we are told that q
| charge of 50 was made.
While this was small matter, it i:
! just such things that 'fleave a baG
taste in the mouth" and work &
detriment instead of an advantage tt
the places that practice it.

AN HISTORIC INSTANCE OF HON
ESTY.

"The most notable exhibition of
honesty within the history of the
Treasury Department" says a writer
in the Ladies' Home Journal, was
made by Sophie Holmes, a colored
women, first employed forty years
ago by General Spinner-then the
Treasurer of the United, State-as a
temporary charwoman. One after
noon in April, 1862, while sweeping
and scrubbing the floor of the issue
division she found package full of
crisp thousand-dollar notes, which
some careless clerk had neglected to
return to the safe. She determined
to stand guard over the treasure and
to conflde her secret to no one but
General Spinner himself, who slept
in the Treasury building during
those troublesome war times. She
swept the dust of the room into one
pile, then another; scattered it about
and swept it up again and again, do
ing this to keep up the appearance
of industry and to make the atmos-
phere of the room as uninviting as
possible to the intruding guards who
now and then saunteder in. From
sheer weakness she finally fell asleep
until past midnight, when, imagining
she discerned figure moving in the
room, she groped her way to the val
liable bundle secreted it sat upon,
and while continuing her vigil thus
fell asleep again. About o'clock in
the morning she. was awakened by

THE JOY OF REMEMBRANCES

There are probably to-day millions
of worthy young folks in this country
who are beginning their lives with
the honest intention to 'get on" in
business and in society, to do the
best they can for themselves and the
world. They are earnest American
boys and girls with the American zeal
for progress, and the honorable prin-
cipies' which make progress worth
while.
But this is all that is necessary? Is
getting on" to be the only object in
their training for this life, and the
life to come?
A devout old clergyman of New
England, in old age, said to his wife:
"Ah, my dear, the times in our life
that like best to remember now are
the days when we went camping and
fishing together in the woods. We
learned to know each other in those
dear old frolics."
Whoever we may be, we cannot af-
ford to leave such frolies out of ou1
lives. An idle day in the woods will
bring us no money, but, it may be
will leave with us a new thought OF
happiness.
There are things, too, which should
belong to us, not as bread-winners
but as human beings, which we are
apt to neglect in fitting up our homes
and designing our lives.
