A Well-Treated Thermomiter.
A prominent physician of Baltimore
tells of an amusing experience of the
early days of his practice when he was
residing in a small town where by far
the majority of the workers were c??al
miners.
"I was greatly distressed at the unsanitary
conditions prevailing in their
cottages." says the doctor, "and among
otner things I tried to explain to each
household the importance of maintaining
a wholesome atmosphere in their
sleeping rooms. I laid in a stock of
thermometers, which were distributed
to the* households where they were
moat needed. I took pains to point
out, to each family in turn, Just how
the thermometer would indicate the
proper degree of temperature.
"As I was making the rounds one
day I inquired of the woman at the
head of one establishment, wherein I
observed my thermometer proudly displayed
at the end of a string, whether
she had followed my instructions.
" 'Yes, sir,' answered she, 'I'm very
careful about the temperature. I
watch the thing all the time as it
hangs up there.'
" 'What do you do when the temperature
rises above 68?*
" 'I take it down, salr, an' put it outside
till it cools off a bit.'"?Harper's
Weekly.
His Wats Lvbgrutai*jc.?A Washington
educator is telling a story about
a young medical friend of his who is
interested in insanity symptoms and
is a sort of amateur alienist. The
other day the student got a chance to
** visit one of the wards in the asylum
for the insane, and having heard that
there was a man confined there who
labored under the hallucination that
he was Ood, the student asked that he
be allowed to see this patient first, as
he appeared the most promising for
Investigation. He was taken to the
ward where the lunatic was confined,
and the following conversation ensued:
Student?Are you the Deity?
Lunatic?From everlasting unto
everlasting I am he.
"Well, I've been looking for you for
a long time. I have a question to ask
you. How do you reconcile the doctrines
of predestination and free will?"

full height and giving the medico a

Put to Bhd.?In the Drayton household
It Is said that the father of the
family has a way of presenting alternatives
to his children that never fail
to bring them Into line.
"I wish you would speak to Bobby,"
. said Mrs. Drayton one night. "I've
told him to take his medicine and then
Jump into bed, and he won't do it. He
just hops round and says he doesn't
want to take the medicine and he
doesn't want to go to bed!"
Mr. Drayton stepped to the door of
Bobby's room and stood there, tall,
grave and impressive.
"Bobby," he said firmly, "If you
don't take your medicine at once, and
then jump Into bed, you will be put
to bed, do you hear me, put to bed.
without having your medicine at all!"
Upon which, Bobby, alarmed and
confused, swallowed his allotted portion
and meekly retired for the night.

day about a wolf.
"Yes," said Mr. Lover, "she ate her

that she should be so unmotherly!"
He paused and smiled. "She reminds

he would stop and fire off at the

GASTfcN.
Gastonia Gazette, Sept. 20: For the
past few days Main street has presented
Its usual fall appearance by
reason of the large number of wagons
that have been coming In. The gins
are kept pretty busy and the cotton
buyers as well. Up to today 252 bales
had been sold on the local market. Up
till 1 o'clock this afternoon sixty-two
bales were marketed and the receipts
for the remainder of the day promise
to be large. Yesterday was the banner
day so far, the receipts amounting
to 113 bales. Cotton Weigher Mauney
la kept pretty busy all the time.
The best price today is 113, which Is
a drop from 12J two or three days
ago A rather unusual wedding
ceremony was performed by Rev. J.
I A. Hoyle Tuesday night at 10 o'clock.
At that hour on Main street in front
of Kennedy's Drug store he tied the
(knot for Mr. W. A. Home and Miss
Mary Hawkins, both of the Loray.
The couple departed as gay and happy
as If they had been married In a

the plighting of their troth It is
with a feeling of deep pleasure that
the Gazette chronicles in Its news columns
today the fact that the entire
amount of $12,000 for the erection and
equipment of a first-class hospital for
Gastonia has been raised and that the
town has the assurance of this institution
in the near future. It is also
gratifying to note further that the
amount was not only raised in fuH,
but was oversubscribed. The Gazette
has not doubted for a moment that
the fund would ultimately be raised
and the hospital established. This
optimistic view of the situation on our
part was prompted primarily by our
implicit confidence that Gastonia
needed a hospital and that there was
a splendid field here for one. When a
thing is badly needed?especially if it
be a public or a semi-public Institution?It
is bound to come sooner or
later. The town is to be congratulated
on this latest forward movement
and here's hoping that the hospital will
be completed and ready for business
before many months have elapsed
The Atlantic Bltuljthic Paving company,
which has the contract to pave
Marin street, expects to begin work the
middle of October and complete the
work by the middle of November. December
1st is the time called for by the
contract for the completion of this
work.
Safe-Blowing Up to Date.
The confidence of German manufacturers
of safes in the resistance of
their wares against ordinary safeblowing
operations has been rudely
shaken by the recent achievements of
a single unaiueu ruuuei in uicbucu auu
other cities. The details of his last
operation are as follows:
In a hotel a room was secured which
was situated immediately above the
office of a money changer. At night
a hole was pierced In the ceiling of
this office. By the use of a drill and
saw a circular piece of the flooring
was easily raised. Beneath lay a thick
layer of cement. A small orifice was
made.in this and an umbrella shoved
down into the space below. The umbrella
was attached firmly from above,
atld when opened received without
noise ail the fragments of cement
which were dislodged as the hole was
enlarged so as to allow of the easy
passage of a person. By means of a
rope ladder the descent was readily
made into the office below.
Next the robber brought down two
cylinders of compresed oxygen and
an acetylene generator charged with
calcium carbide and water. With
these he was able to produce a blowpipe
flame of such Intensity that steel
fuses In it like lead in an ordinary gas
jet. It required but a brief space of
time to melt away so much of the door
that all the contents of the safe were
accessible.?-New York Times.
How to Get Good Roadt.
North Carolina Is away ahead of
Virginia In a great many respects, but
Virginians do not like to be told so. '
Down in Forsyth county, not far from
the Virginia line, an election has been
gotten up by the farmers for a vote
on a bond issue of $300,000 for the
permanent Improvement of the highways.
We doubt not the farmers of
that section will vote the bond issue,
as they are wide-wake to the
importance of the matter.
This is Just our position with reference
to the public roads of the state
of Virginia. There is but one way to
get them and that is to vote the money
for doing the work. So far as we are
aware, there are few counties in
Virginia carrying a debt. Three
