CRIES OF GIRL
Leads to Arrest of Former Virginia
Mayor.

At Roanoke, Va, Wesley H. Terry,
GO years of age, former Mayor of
Floyd, Va, is lodged in the local Jail
for safe keeping, after being arrested
in Floyd County on a charge of at
tempting to attack the f1fteen-year-old
daughter of S. B. Pedigo, Clerk of the
Circuit Court of Floyd County.
Terry had a narrow escape from be-
ing lynched at the hands of infuri-
ated men when his alleged offense be-
came known. The Pedigo girl and
her sister, who is two years older,
were asleep in a second floor of their
home. The younger child was arous-
ed by the presence of Terry, it is al
lodged, who gained entrance by means
of ladder from the yard
The girls cries aroused her father,
who arrived after the departure of
Terry, who had left his hat and shoes
in the room. Terry is married, his
wife being an inmate of hospital for
the insane at Marion. He confessed
having been in the room, but said he
meant no harm, having gone there
just to freighten them.
Judge w. w. Moffett will probably
order a speedy trial as the offense has
greatly enraged all citizens of the
town of Floyd.

The only way to live happily is to
size up ones means, and live Within
them. Going in debt for things that
one can do without, trying to make a
$4,000 salary do the work of $4,000 is
what ruins tempers and brings gray
hairs about the temples, fills suicides
graves and breaks up homes. The
tendency of the times is toward inf1a-
ton, happiness lies in the other di-
rection, and the woman of the house
can have wholesome influence in
the right direction, if they but exert
themselves. Many a man is started
on the wrong path by the demands of
a selfish wife for more than he can
honestly furnish her in the way of
the house and personal adornments.
No man will go very far wrong whose
wife exerts the right influence over
him.

TRIMMED AND BURNING.

Recently the Metropolitan papers
printed an item about man who kept
lamp in his window for forty years
to guide his sweetheart to his west
ern home. She never came, but the
lamp burned brightly just the same.
His faith did not faltar. He has i'm
plicit trust. Yet she had been drown
ed at sea, yet every night he trim
med his lamp and set it as beacon
for her feet.
All over the land such beacon
lights are burning, even in our inland
towns, far from the surge of the roll
ing sea. When once the light of love
is kindled the winter winds blow in
vain to extinguish it. When the storm
is at its height, then the fog gathers
the thickest, then it is that the faith
full light burns the clearest. The rays
from the lone lamp have more of
strength and beauty than could be
packed into the crown of jewels of an
emperor

Ii there were no sickness or sor-
row or suffering in the world there
would be nothing to call forth the
sympathies of humanity. In fact, if
there were no storms or tempests of
the soul, we would never know how
to appreciate the restful calm and
sunshine-the joy that comes of
gentle peace. The view of life is
necessary to reconcile us to an en-
durance of life's i'll. 1t teaches, us to
take things as we find them; to stop
quarreling with our surroundings and
mourning over what cannot be helped
but rather to set ourselves diligently
at work to improve conditions and
circumstances in which we are involv-
ed. a If there are any brambles and
rocks in our pathway, instead of sit
ting down placidly and ignoring the
fact, we should realize the necessity
of great personal effort in making the
way smoother for those who must fol-
low; and with ready heart and hand
We should lend ourselves to the work.
So will life become sweeter from du-
ty performed, and we shall mount
heavenward as we grow into the i'm
age of a better manhood and woman
hood.

Words of kindness do more good
than hard speeches, as the sunbeams,
without any noise, will make trav-
eler cast off his coat, which all the
winds could not do. If
we are kind to others, we not only
benefit them, but the influence on
them is great, and if we cultivate the
grace of kindness our own characters
grow nobler and better.

One of the sweetest occupations of
old age is recalling the scenes and
occurrences of ones youth So try
to stop up as many pleasant recol-

ply. Among the happiest will be
found those of the good we did for
others, and the innocent fun we en-
joyed.
Never to tire, never to grow old, to
be patient, sympathetic, tender, to
look for the budding flowers and the
opening heart, to hope always, to love
always this is duty.
