THE BEST LETTER IS
TO YOUR MOTHER

You may write Thousand letters
to the maiden you adore,
And declare in every letter that You
love her more and more,
You may praise her grace and beau
ty in Thousand glowing lines
And compare her eyes of azure
with the brightest stars THAT shine
If you had the pen of Bryon you
would use it every day
In composing written worship to
your sweetheart far away;
But the letter far more welcome to-
an older, gentler breast
Is the letter to your mother FROM
the boy she loves the best.
She will read it very often when
the lights are soft and low,
Sitting in the same old corner wher
she held you years ago.
And regardless Of it's diction or its
spelling or its style,
And although it's composition would
provoke CRITICS smile,
IN her old and trembling fingers it
becomes a work of art.
Stained by tears of joy and sadness
as she hugs it to her heart.
Yes, the letter OF all letters, look
h wherever you may roam,
Ia the letter to- your mother from
her boy away from home.

Paint?

There are two good reasons for
painting o~ften-enough or even too
otter. One, to look prosperous; two,
to be so.
Nothing does more credit or gives
enc more credit than paint, supple
mented of course by what goes with
it; and paint costs nothing. -
True, the first cost is SIS or Sc a
gallon put-on; but it saves more than
that in the property; saves it from
slow going-down-not always slow
It drops with a jump when water gets
in on wood and iron.
Dry wood and iron cost nothing,
kept dry by paint,
Better paint when it needs it. Paint
never goes-down in the of be-
ing more profitable next year.

a liberal education for any n start

THE CoNQUERING
HERO RETURNS

Col. Patrick Rche, designated by
a correspondent of this paper in our
last issue as one of the best setback
players in town, with his party con-
sisting of Messrs. w. A. Calvert,
James Gillian, Joe B. Wilson, Thorn
as P. Thomson and Clerk. of Court
Perrin, has returned to, the city.
They were gone about a week, and
during that time. under the leader
ship of Col. Roche they "did" all the
summer resorts in the mountains of
North Carolina, as well as a por-
ton of South Carolina.
Col. Roche was at his best in the
water. While in the lake region he
was in great demand to show the
visitors all the latest stunts in SWIM
ming, etc. He declined to perform
except once each day, and then only
for a short time; but during these
brief intervals he gave some valuable
lessons in tango swimming, schultz
the-schute capering, bunny-hugging,
and other late performances in the
water, utterly beyond the compre-
hension of "chickens" and even
ducks.
The Col. was also a great help to
the arty in other ways. He was the
only mar in the party who had the
countersign, and the grip, and who
knew how to whistle between his
fingers. In the future he will no
doubt be in great demand ny parties
wishing to do the mountains.
He resumed his place as head OF
the setback club on last Tuesday
{ evening. He is chatting a little at be-
ing classed with Eugene Mcmillan
| and Col. Kerr in the setback column
and is willing to bet all the profits
