morning and night.
We are sorry to note that Mr. Luther
Heard and Mr.. Sam Barrett were on
the sick list last Sunday. When they

with sick friend in Atlanta.
The prayer service was conducted by
Mr.. John Underwood on last Sunday
night. His lesson was Hebrews 11th.,

terracing is very essential to good farm
ing.
Mich cows are nearly as high as they
were when the cow in the fairy tale

their first calf are selling from $40 to

will get our eyes open enough to realize
that they can be grown here as cheap
as anywhere in the United States.
We note with much interest that
State School Superintendent M L.
Britain has endorsed Compulsory Edu-
cation. and that Bro B Awtrey says
that Mr.. Britain is treading on very
ticklish ground; he is a progressive,
just ten years ahead of our News edi-
tor. The time is coming, and the pro-
per way to meet it is to go right ahead
with the local tax idea, which is the
only substantial way of having and
maintaining a school,
We are pleased to note that the city
council in the best town in the world
and composed of the best folks, have
put the dog tax at $3.50 for this year.
Here's hoping that they will double it
for the next five years. We are salts

There has been unusual activity at
the Wild wood Yacht Club the past
two weeks. The younger set of North
Wild wood have had a number OF after
noon and evening hops In the spacious
ball room and a dozen ladies card par

of influential men have been elected to
membership. During the winter it Is
proposed to make q com plete overhaul

rooms and lockers are to be installed
on the third floor, the cafe Is to be en-

to be re, constructed. That the initia-
ton and dues are to be increased is
almost a foregone conclusion, as was

To-day | have had n great stroke Of
luck. Coming home, | met a fairy
who had lost her way. | put her on
the right track. and out OF gratitude
she presented me with this pair of
slippers. Whoever puts on the left
enc becomes invisible. Then II you
put on the right one you reappear.
You will see that this present is very
valuable. because we will be able to
make lots of money with it"
Zenobia became still and stood over
come with curiosity in front Of her
husband.
Come" said he: "let us try 1t once"
She slipped on the left slipper and
positively in the same instant vanished
away. g5H

astonished. she is gone!"
Then he took the right slipper, went
out Of the house and threw it in the
deepest well.-Fllegende Batter.

An Interested Listener.

Mark Twain n rainy day found
himself in a room in his club which
contained only one other occupant. The
two men drifted into conversation.
Mark began a discussion on the merits
Of ''Tess of the d'Urbervilles," and
made brilliant deductions as to the
character and personality of the writer
OF Tess" from what he called the
internal evidence of the story. His
listener at times mildly %dissented, but
on the whole maintained an attitude OF
ilnpassivity.
When Tess" had been labeled only
passable, Mark Twain's chance ac-
quaintance excused himself and de-
parted. \Calling the smoke room at
tendant Mark Twain asked him whom
he had been %conversing with. "
That's Mr.,Thomns Hardy, sir!" re-
piled the steward impressively.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 1g-.Jt Is not u

the correspondent asking for reliable in

are likely to be vacant after the Fourth
Of March, the necessary qualifications,
the possibility Of having to undergo a

apparently obnoxious examination, and
the steps that should be taken in order
to get there"

only b" that there will be many hun
drcds Of good fat jobs, that there will
be no queer 'Civil service examinations,

that the needful qualifications will be

Munich Royalty Is Modest.

AS far rs meeting royalty is con.
cerned, Munich is a great contrast to
Berlin. 1t is impossible to stay long
in the Prussian capital without having
ones path stopped or impeded by the
passing of some prince Of the royal
house or, at all events, by the cohorts
Of police who safeguard them. One
may stay for months in Munich with
out seeing more than n royal carriage
driving past almost unnoticed except
for the raising of hats. The popularity
of the Wittelsbachs is genuine, and
every Municher takes a lively interest
in the ways and doings Of the men,
hers Of the royal house. The tragic
history of the Wittelsbachs in recent
times is perhaps the eason why the
personalities OF the present generation
seem somewhat effaced. They at all
events take care not to stand in the
limelight.- MANCHESTER Guardian.
