Farming That Is Farming.
(WarrentOn RecOrd.l

In conversation with the Chair
man of the Board OF County Com
missioners, Mr.. Peter NJ. Stallings,
in reference to the ability OF our farm
ers to hold their cotton, we incidental
ly learned from this modest but pro-
gressive gentleman that he had not
bought pound Of meat for his table
mover fifteen years, that he had
lard in plenty for each year, that he
bought his sugar and coffee with
money derived from sale of honey
and that there had not been a bale
of hay on his place since he commenc-
ed farming. If this isn't a successful
business man, then We don't know
one when we see him. This is the
kind of success that counts, he may
not pile up dollars, but he sets a
good example to his neighbors both
in living upon the product of his toll
upon his farm and in his daily walk
and conversation. This type ofman
is the type that should be placed in
charge OF public business, for the
man who sets an example OF right
living and who practices economies
at home will set the right example in
public life. We doubt not that there
are, other members Of the Board who
are just as successful in home living
and in the discharge of their public
duties.

Aged Woman's First Ride On a
.. Train.
(Statesyille Landmark.)

Mr.. r. E. Anderson, a Wilkes coun-
ty man who has been living at Black
Mountain two years, passed through
Statesvile Saturday accompanied
by his aged mother, Mrs Sarah An
derson, of Wilkes, en- route to Black
Mountain, having boarded the train
at Hiddenite. While Mrs. Anderson,
who is SO years old, had seen trains
before and was on one occasion per-
suaded to get on coach and look
around, she had never taken a trip
before and the experience was almost
too much for her. She wanted to go
to Black Mountain to live with her
son, but she was afraid OF the trains.
When the train approached the sta
tion at Hiddenite the old lady tried to
run away but her son restrained her
andmanaged to get her aboard. At
the Statesville station, where change
OF trains was necessary, much assur-
ance OF safety and persuasion on the
part OF the son was necessary in get
ting the mother on the new train.
The tenderness of the son toward the
mother was noticeable and commend
ed, and the actions and words of the
mother showed her great faith in her
son.

Definina a Boundary Line.

In 1917 Rufus Choate appeared in
behalf Of parties whose rights were
affected by the boundary line between
Massachusetts and Rhode Island. thus
described in the agreement:
beginning" etc, thence to an an
gle on the easterly side of Watuppa
pond, thence across said pond to the
two rocks on the westerly side of said
pond and near thereto, thence wester
ly to the buttonwood tree in the vii
lage of Fall River"
In his argument, commenting on the
boundary. Mr.. Choate thus referred to
this part Of the description: "a bound
airy line between two sovereign states
described by a couple of stones near
a pond and Il buttonwood sapling in
village! The commissioners might as
we'll have defined it as starting from
blue jay. thence to a swarm Of bees
in hiying time and thence to 800 foxes
with frebrands tied to their tails."-

Clever Paris Eeqoars.

Begging is forbidden Oh the Paris
bouieTards. But one day recently a
pale, poorly dressed man was seen
humbly approaching various pedes-
trians. He was evidently not used to
begging, and as he told his pathetic
story without the requisite boldness
people passed him by unnoticed. A
man dressed in. black stepped up to
him and showed him a card. He car
ried a thick stick and wore a heavy
mustache and thick boots, which are
the outward and visible signs, with a
multicolored ribbon in the buttonhole,
of a detective in plain clothes.
Now, then, get out of this or I'll
IN you in," he said roHghly. Then
in lower tone, Poor chap" and fur
lively he gave the man some silver.
People had seen him do it, and,
cheering the kind hearted policeman,
they, too. gave to the poor beggar. A
few minutes afterward in side street
the two men divided the spoils and
moved off separately to ply their trade
elsewhere. The detective wasn't q
detective at all, but a beggar made
up for the part.

A EearIess Ousker

Uncle Abe was noted for his ability
to turn his clouds inside out and show
the silver lining. If any particular
cloud was dark through and through
he wisely supplied it with the lining
from another. His yoke of steers had
taken the cash prize on the first day
Of the fair. On the second some new
contestants were entered, and Abe
would probably be outclassed But, as
usual, he had made the most of good
fortune while it lasted.
Aren't you quaking in your boots?"
a friend asked.
Abe thrust out foot clad in new tan
leather.
"Why, yes" he said; II am quaking
in my boots. But when got that $50
yesterday l made sure they should be
new boots. 1t amt so bad to quake if
you can do it in new boots."-Youth's

When ParssoIs BEGAN.

Parasols when they first came into
use must have been cumbersome.
Henri Est1enne, writing in 1913,
speaks Of a parasol as capable gener-
ally Of sheltering four persons from
the sun. And when they diminished
in circumference the material still re-
mained of the heaviest. Red velvet
parasols, with heavy gold fringes,
were carried by ladies Of fashion in
the days Of Louis XIV. At that time
it was possible when crossing bridge
in Paris to hire a parasol at one end
and deposit it at the other, the charge
for the accommodation being a sou.
Under the regency fashion went to
the other extreme. Mems parasols
folded into the shape Of a three cor
nGred hat and could thus be carried
elegantly under the arm. Ladies' par
asols were hinged, so that they could
slip into the pocket, for ladies had
pockets then.-London Spectator.

o'conneIps Wonderful oratory.

Daniel O'Connell, the Irish orator,
spoke in Covent Garden, London. many
years ago, and John Coleman. en- old
English actor, pictured him as fol-
lows: The audience hung spellbound
On the words of the great orator. His
resonant and magnificent voice, favor
ed with its rich Hibernian accent,
held both soul and sense captive. AS
for me, my Celtic blood took fire, my
heart throbbed with passionate indig-
nation or melted into tears as he
dwelt upon the wrongs of my beloved
country. Never, surely, was such a
born orator! Stern men cried one
moment and laughed the next. Strange
to say, they never laughed n the
wrong place, though once at leas, &C
afforded them q unique opportunity.
AS he approached the end of his ora
ton, carried away by his theme. he
took his wig off "a brown jaZeyJ put
it In his hat and mopped his beauti-
full bald brow with a great flaming
crimson bandanna. The action ap-
peared SO natural and appropriate
that no one seemed to think it absurd
or even incongruOus."

Finally Lost Il.

II may have lost my golf ball."
thought the old man as he crept on all
fours round the bush into which it had
rolled, but l will not lose my temper"
So he continued to grovel and grope
and to wear q persuasive, patient
smile. His knees bagged. his back
ached horribly, and the bush bestowed
upon his hands a generous quantity
of thorns. But he refused to discard
his smile and kept on repeating:
"No; I will not lose my temper. l
will not"
Suddenly the elusive ball caught his
eye. Flopping fat, he stretched his
hands toward it, grasped it among it's
nest Of thorns and gingerly with
drew it.
"Hoity-tdtyw exclaimed an old wo-
man behind him. "You ought to be
ashamed, bird nesting at your time Of

And then he did lose his temper
