Look Ahead.

It 10 well enough to stop and rest
now and then. But while we rest,
our eyes ought to be on the hilltop
that is to be scaled rather than on the
valley out Of which we have come.
Think always in terms Of tomorrow,
not Of yesterday. Never mind what
you did yesterday, It Is what you are
going to do tomorrow that you want
to think Of. And be sure while you
are thinking Of II that you devote to-
day to the business Of arriving. John
Blake in Chicago Daily News.

WOMEN AS "PAMPERED TOYS"
DISTINGUISHED French Abbe Makes
Some Sharp Commentaries on Sex
Relations In America.

American women expect (very right
Ivy from their husbands the same at
tention which French husbands receive
from their wives. The American hus-
band expects nothing, and for what
he receives the Lord makes him truly
thankful, writes Ernest Dinnet In Har-

can lady told me in distinctly resent
full tone, "but we only know 1t when
our husbands, after keeping every
trouble from us, suddenly die"
II the abstraction called the Ameri-
can woman could be met with, should
ask her whether she really likes to see
a dozen men in her drawing room
watch her the whole evening and bob
up with military precision the moment
she half rises to ring the bell; whether
she would not prefer her escort to
think Of what he Is saying to her In
stead Of concentrating on where she
walks, skipping to the unprotected side
Of her the whole time; or whether she
likes being supported across the road
with infinite precautions, as II she
were a very III person or very brittle
object; or, on the contrary, firmly
grasped below the shoulder and waited
to the other side with the triumphant
ease Of long practice.

The Bright Side of Human Nature

The Bright Side Of Human Nature.
A correspondent sends us this
pretty tale OF human kindness,
shown at a time and place where such
traits are not especially likely to ap-
pear-namely. at an auction sale OF
farm equipment. when everyone was
as usual looking for bargains. The
Mondamin uowa) Enterprise tells the
story:
There were two dogs: the first sold
for ten dollars and fifty cents. When
the next was put up James Earlywine
and others decided that inasmuch as
the dogs belonged to a boy about
nine years old who had lost his moth
er only short time ago II was no
more than right that they should
hit a good price. The boy was sick
ai time.
The bidding was brisk. so brisk
that the auctioneer stopped to find
out about IL. When he found out he
was selling the dog OF a sick boy who
had lost his mother he stopped call
ing for bids and threw down his cap
with a dollar in II. other dollars fell
into the cap until there was over
thirty-three dollars. The money and
the dog went to the boy. Then the
more or less serious business OF the
sale was allowed to proceed.

Mr.. Aaron Sapiro will speak In
Charlotte next saturday. May 2lst, at
eleven o'clock Mr.. Sapiro Is one OF
the best informed men in the coun-
try on the cooperative marketing oil
farm crops. and is strong and con-
vincing speaker. II is well worth
while to 20 a long distance to hear
what he has to say on cooperative
marketing. as he tells II in most
forcible way what he knows person
ally. what he has done. what is being
done in California in the marketing
of their farm and horticultural crops
through cooperative associations, ana
what all this has meant to the prog
ress OF California where two hundred
and fifty millions of dollars OF the
crops OF California were marketed III
this way last year,
Ii is certain that We are on the eve
of important changes in the method
of marketing our farm crops, and Mr..
Sapiro has prepared the plans when
are now being signed in this state
for the cooperative marketing OF col
ton. tobacco and peanuts, and these
same are being used for cotton IN the
states growing S4f of the cotton
grown in the United States.
Every farmer who is interested in
better methods of marketing the cot
ton crop should go to Charlotte and
hear Mr.. Sapiro. get the information
and inspiration and then come back
home and help to put the proposition
across in this county.
