WORDS OF PRAISE WELCOMED
Much Truth In Saying That Most Of
Us DO Better when We Are
Applaudcd.v

Said dear old pastor: MANY
years ago ] heard the Peet family in
concert. When the children came
marching on the stage, the audience
cheered them loudly. As the applause
died away, the father said; Il thank
you very much; my children always
sing better when they are applauded.
Since that night we have used the
words as a proverb in the family,
and they have done more than you
can at first realize TO sweeten the
home life. l have learned that my
children, too, always sing better
when they are applauded.'"

HERS WAS THE RULING SPIRIT
Jim 6aggs Had the Physical Strength,
but Little Woman the Doml-
mating Brain.

He gave palpable evidence OF
weighing at least $40, and he tow
cred six feet four inches into the air.
He looked as if the champion heavy
weight of the prize ring might go
down before him like reed before
the wind. By his side stood little
woman of five feet ten and possible
ninety pounds in weight. She had
the meek look of a woman who had
borne much. While they waited for
their car on a corner a passerby
heard the giant say:
"Can't you let me have quarter,
Jennie?"
Jennie's voice cut the air like a
blade as she said:
"Now, see here, Jim Baggs, didn't
l tell you before we left home that
ten cents was all I intended you
should have to spend? / sure did,
an | should think you had been mar

minister, "and at its conclusion, in
recognition Of the tireless efforts of

in his supplication something like
this:
"'Gib this pore brudder de eye Of

Glue his hands to de gospel pillow.

The movement on the part of the
Treasury Department to retrench by
consolidating customs houses in Varl-
GUS places throughout The country IS
naturally causing resentment. Tins
is not the first time the republican
party, after having been immersed,
has resorted to this spirit of revenge
in abolishing offices after they found
their supporters could hold then no
longer. 1t was practiced in A!sSan-
dl.ia shortly before Grover Cleveland
was indicted into Office. So lor.g "a
this organization holds the rc!ns II
never occurs to the administration
hat certain offices can be abolished,
but instead positions have been multi
piled in order that partisans o: the
party could enjoy sinecures.
The Internal revenue office was re-
moved from Alexandria to Abingdon
several years ago. and our CT? mas
been gradually stripped Of ever Tang
he at one time possessed in tae way
Of adiuncts to commerce, and this lat
est movement, which has for rs or
iect the abolition Of its custom house
will, if carried out, be the c2&p de
grace.
For over hundred years Ire city
has rightfully enjoyed the privileges
incident to a custom house, aId ne
danger of the city in the near future
rot being regarded as port o. entry
is. to say the least, e%asperatlng to

which stood upon the site Of to "tofe

southwest corner. Of King and Union
streets. About 1857 it was removed
to the rossoflice building. During the
civil war It's old home was used as 4

A VAIL FROM
FREDERICK SBURG.

"Alexandria is booming is tie
cry Of the .Alexandrians, and then
they cry some morc,and the news
papers Of that giddy old town a.
so announce the fact in black and
white that Alexandria is not only
on the map. but is becoml2g a
progressive city. But with
what all this clamor about the
growth of Alexandria there comes
another "but" and it is this:
with the progre: sing
progress of the progressive
city OF Alexandria, it has
progressed so rapidly that it has
worn holes in its financial pockets,
and it appears ell Of its money
or at least good part Of it---has
been strewn along the DywayS and
highways Of progressing progress

"This is what the members Of
the fredericksburg jury think,
who w2re summoned to AleHan-
dria to sit in the Hooft trial, for

ton had been made 70 Alexandria
the information came back that
there was 10 money in the city
treasury OF the booming town CT
Alexandria to pay the Fred?rick3-
burg jury land they would have 20
wait until March |.
"If Alexandria will hold back
from progressing so progress
lively for short time she may hc
able to mend the holes in her E.
nancial pockets SO she will be able
to pay the jury who visited WITH
in her gates for faw days and
endured the smell of her many So
