fell across the page Of her book. She
started nervously and looked up to find
him seated opposite. gazing at her
Gravely. Her heart thumped violently
~ she looked into his eyes. She
blushed. Her glance fell. She sighed.
Without looking up again she began

trembled. Twice she almost stuck him

She never could recall with what re-
mark he broke the awful silence. For
the first time in memory she was pow
erless to inject the element Of loquacity
into a situation.
She knew before he spoke just what
would be the tonal quality Of his voice;
knew it would be soft and low and
compelling. At his first word her gaze
was drawn to his. She peered into his
black eyes timidly, fearfully, en-
tranced.
Mayhap it was hours he talked, may
hap only minutes.

Nightmare.

Nightmare, according to one theory,
IL due to a suspension Of power in the
muscles Of inspiration. The weight,
the want Of breathing and the sense
Of s%ufocation seem to prove this. and
q still greater proof IL that after the
sufferer can speak only one syllable
the paroxysm is at an end. The word
cannot be spoken without breath.
Breath cannot come out Of the lungs
until It is brought in nor brought in
without the action Of the muscles Of
the breast and ribs. Nothing can be
more simple than the cause. It Is the
temporary paralysis Of the pectoral
muscles, through the medium Of the
nerves which supply them with feel
ing.

Prof. J. G. Dunsmore at Sinks
Grove, w. Va, February 22nd,
1872, and established in Staunton'
Virginia, March 18th, 1880. .
1t was incorporated by an Act OF
the General Assembly of Virginia
and approved by the Governor No
vember 10Th, 1884. However, it was
net at that time capitalized.
1t was Incorporated and new
charter was granted by the Cor

During the last ten years our acre
yield increased, but not half as much
as the increase in population. We
have all heard the old Dutch
proverb quoted before, but we
cannot quote it too often: mo grass,
no. stock; no stock, no manure; no
manure, no crops" Holland Is almost
entirely a grass and stock country,
and lands are worth on an average
$500 per acre. These people have
found that they can make more out
of land from grass and live stock than
they can by cultivating it.
Unnumbered acres of hill land In
the cotton belt are making less than
one-third bale of cotton per acre, and
at the same time making poverty for
those tilling them. The cost of COM
mercial fertilizer applied annually is
appalling. The razor-back terraces,

vent the use of labor-saving imple--

We are sending millions to the
northern states every year to pay for
pork products, dairy products and
beef. This money should be kept at
home and deposited in our banks un-
til they are full to overlooking and the
rate of interest lowered to, say, six
per cent, because of the abundance
of money. Then we will have the
necessary money to build good roads.
to pay good teachers better salaries
to teach longer terms, to improve our
farms and to build comfortable homes
and put telephones and libraries in
them. Then our boys and girls will
stay on the farm, and we will behold
prosperity in every department of the
commercial world.
The south has an overwhelming ad-
vantage over every other section In

climatic advantages that permit out

According to reports received from
Mr.. Johnson, he was in a desperate
condition, but he found relief from
his trouble. We will let him say how
he found it. His own words say:
"My friends told me to take Pc
runa, and did so. I now feel that
Peruna has saved my life. 1t is the
best medicine on earth, and would
not be without it."
This seems almost too good to be
true. No doubt there are some read
ers that will think so. The above
statements, however. can be verified
by writing Mr.. Johnson.

The Saddest Thing
in All the World

In the March American Magaz. me
James D. Corrothers, negro
preacher of talent achievement,
writes a remarkable story in the
course of which is brought out the
difficulties that confront the educat-
ed and energetic negro. In this
story, the wife of a gifted and
indutrious black man goes to her
death-bed just as her husband is
brought face to face with hhe most
tremendous difficulties. Her dying
comment on the tragedy race
follows:
"When | see God, I shall be your
angel, who was your wife, and |
shall tell Him-oh, | shall tell Him
that the saddest thing in the world,
in our America, is to be a negro,
and intelligent and honorable, to
have a noble heart and a mind
that is beauty's home! Oh, l shall
tell God all about you, Grant, and
beg Him to bend down and bless!"
