r BY WW. & W R. BRADLEY. ABBEVILLE, 8. G, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1908. ESTABLISHEDl^^^J THAT CRYING BABY. God Pity the Mother of a Sick and Crying Baby. Only a crying baby in its mother's ! arms, that and something more. The baby was hungry and sleepy or sick or frightened or mad. Babies never cry for any other known reason. As I walked into a dry goods store in Chester last week, I saw two ladies trading and one was holding the crying baby and at the same time looking at goods. I heard one clerk say to another idle clerk, "Why don't you go and take that baby," and then said to me in a kind of"fretful or vexed tone," ' I would never wait on a woman with a eryiug baby." I did not know ihe clerks or the ladies, hut I did think t that if that mother had heard what : that clerk said about ber crying baby, * she would have left that store and left c all its goods tipbiad her. If I had f known that nervous clerk, and if he * had not been busy, I would have giv- ^ en him a lecture on common sense, patience and sympathy for a mother J and her crying baby. 1 Whether he wa? a single man or t not, I do not know, but I guess he J Avas. I know an A. R. P. preacher t who, when he was single could not * stand a crying baby in church, and [ once stopped iu his sermon and asked a mother to take her crying baby out 1 of the church. She went out and never J3 returned to hear him preach again, d But when that same preacher became 1 a married man he changed his opiniou ' #nd hia treatment nf mothers and nrv- e ing babies. It is too true that many preachers aud bearers too are disturbed at churcb by crying babies, but no one more so * than th? mother. It is right, according d to the Bible, ;or mothers to take their c young children to church, but it has c become unstylish these days. I have J heard of parents who could not take o their babies to church because the singing would make them cry. That I was a bad sign and a proof that they c did not siui; God's praise at home. Observation proves that a clean neatly dressed baby is an attraction in n a store, a It. R. car, street car, steamboat, hotel or in the home. And if it t should happen to cry all sensible peo- c pie, instead of being disturbed, per- ? turbed or disgusted, will show pity for the baby and patience with the moth- ' op Onf-p there was a man and his daughter with a five months old babe c which was the centre of attraction on their journey to thecentennial of Pikes ? Peak, at Colorado Springs, iu 190G. a The child was no disturbance, but ? rather a pleasure to fellow traveller?, j! when tbey reached the Summit, over 14.000 feet above sea level, the child, with ail the rent, was in the best of spiritP. The Peak was covered with c six inches of snow and it was too cold * to take the child out of the Summit I Hotel and the mother said to the land- * lady, "Will you watch my baby J while 1 to out and look at the scenryV $ Yes, with great pleasure and you nped t never come back for it" As they were returning home through New F Mexico, that same jolly and attractive o baby one night began to cry as if it h was in great pain. The mother be- ? came somewhat alarmed in a few minutes a half dozen men and women ? came lO uer wnu an lucu iciucuico uiai | could be found in the car. Instead of j finding fault with the distressed moth- ^ er of the crying baby, they did what ^ they could to relieve and quiet it. All a at once the crying stopped, because its tears had, no doubt, washed a cinder out of its eye. This reminds me of another story of a crying baby; a story that has passed j into history and song. One night on a R. R. car, many weary passengers d were trying to sleep, but not because t there was a crying baby ou board. The child continued to cry for miles and J miles. At last a gentleman got out of 1 patience and lost bin temper and said r to the man who had the baby in charge, t "Why dent you take that baby to its ? mother?" The distreseed man rose up K and said,"Ladies and gentleman, J ? am soriy that my child is disturbing , your sleep, I am doing the best I can ,1 for it;?its mother is dead and i" in " the buggage car on this train." This t little speach put an end to all com- i plaints about the crying baby, and ex- ^ orpafc Kvmnnthv because it was i V1 M ? " ?- - / 1 *r -- X motherless. The gentleman wbo had spoken unkindly apologised and then pinned a$10 bill to the baby's dress. "Yet it Is true that a ciying baby is an enemy to "nature,* sweet restorer, balmy sleep." The plaintive, painful sound is enough to keep any tender hearted person awake for hours, the poor babe is an "infant" that is, speechless, unable to tell its pitiful story. To cry is all it can do, this is its only language, and it is always more or lees eloquent. But it is a cheerful fact that not one baby out of 25 cries distressfully for any great length of time. Where ever we go, we notice that they do more smiling and cooing and laughing than crying. They are the brightest flowers that ? bloom on the path way of life. My advice to preachers, teacher?, store clerks and travellers by day or night, be patient with the crying bapy and rest assured that the mother, 1 if she is in a store or any public place, 1 is doing all she can to stop the sound 1 that is not musical to her ears. Jf J she is at home and feels sure that the i crying is not caused by apin.orhun- < ger or disease, she may perhaps, and ' wisely too, let her darling cry itself to i sleep. God pity the mother t f a sick 1 and crying baby. John H. Simpson, j She lilhen Good Thing*. Mr?. Chas. E. Smith, of West Franklin, Maine, says: "I like good things and have adopted Dr. King's New Life Pills as our family laxative medicine, because they are good and do their work without making a fuss about it."

PREDICTS CER TAIN DEMOCRATIC VICTORY. Taft too Subservient, he Says, and Sherman's Nomination to the Vice Presidency an Insult to the Name of Reform?Lesson in Recent Panic?People Realize that it is not Good for One Party to Hold Power Indefinitely. The following .special cubic dlspitch from In representative in Loudon, primed In the s'ew York Herald Saturday, will be read vlth Interest In tbls State: Among all the prophets of Democratic buo :e.-s at ttie eorulng election none It) more couIdent than Senator Benjamin It. Tillman ol loutb Cnrollna, who after an extensive Contllentai'tour, Is enjoying his first visit toLonlon. "It may be that me wisn is imutr iu mc hongbt" said Senator Tillman when I eDountered blm at the office of tbe American impress Company, "but It looks to me as li iryan has a powerful good chance of cleanng up the other crowd this time. In tbe , Irst place be has been nominated In spite of he best organlztd newspaper fight against ilm ever known, thus demonstrating his In iate strength with ibe rank and file of the , )emocratlo "party. Taft, on the contrary, has | >een nominated S( lely at the dictation ol < ioosevelt and against the wishes ol the asses in tbe Republican party. While Taft 8 a lovatle character In every way, and I , lon't wish to be construed assaying anyhlng against him as) a man, bis |self obligation and what.I should call tbeielement ol , Kubtervlency In his vl6lt to Oyster Bay to ;et his speech revised are not In his favor. Other Factors of the Situation. "There are other facts that must appeal to be people. If lor, instance we are golDg to rlexlcanlze our country by hating tbe Presl- , lent appoint bis successor through tbe ma- | blnery of tbe Republican party and tbe use | if office holders to a stock nominating con- , eDttoD, it Is simply golrg to make a ereat | lump downward In the history of tbe Ameri an Republic. I ' Again, if the country is really In love rlth and anxious to have carried out, rearms which Roosevelt stole from the Demo- ( rata and proclaimed ss *my polloy', tbe peo- , >ie will recogutze that Bryan more fully reiresents those ideas than does Tatt. I Then again tbe Vice Presidential nom!- , atlon of the Republican Convention is an , nsnir m thn name of reform. Everybody in Vasbington is familiar with Sherman's align" uent with the plutocratic ItHuencea of the ountry, and unless I mistake the character >f the people generally they will consider his lorrlnation as a surrender to the plutocracy. While Talt's (rlends are denying everyhlng that Is calculated to lose blm any oustbtre Is still another Important conIderation which will Influence the election >f Bryan. The panle of last winter has only pft unpleasant rfcollectlons and an amount if damage to business which now is relatlvey small. Things seem to be almost normal t pres* nt, but whatever It was harm resultd wlih Republicans In posiesslon rf all ranches ot the Government, in spite of the irotective taritt in spite of the gold standard No Money Issue Now.. The money question is no Issue now and Rnnot he made one. Bryan's attitude in '9G and 1900 would not influence even a uerous baby much lecs a sensible voter, and nless .American minds are absolutely beotted, of which in my opinion there is not ' be slfgbtest indication, they will realize that o allow one party to remain In power ineflnltely is not healthy or for the good of he country. Uonsiaer, oesiaes me uibBiircuuu ju iuc Vest over the tariff huJ the clamor lor toosevelt's programme, which Bryan repreents, ami you will seo that Bryan caouol ;oep from wlnnlnc. Io answer to a question Senator Tillman aid: "No, I don't think anything muoh can be lone with tbe tariff next seeslOD. Twrhlrds of the Senate are against any reducton, and If there were a change this big meorltv would rather favor an Increase. Even fa Democratic President and Houfe were lected wouldn't Aldrlcb Just sit there In the ienateand laugh at any tariff bill sent from cross tbe waj?" ?I BELLEVUE.
