Profanely Bad.
The small daughter of a family
whose home is in the neighborhood of
Fifteenth and Jefferson streets has for
a pet and plaything a little maltose
kitten. One day last week the kitten's
mistress became very angry at pussy.
She scolded her for ten minutes, and
then, holding the poor little creature
with one hand and boxing its ears
strenuously with the other, she spoke
her mind.
She spoke it in language that her
mother, coming out of the house in
time to hear, considered shocking,
Edith, at the age of 5, was undoubtedly
indulging in profanity. Somewhere
on the street she had picked up words
that little girls are supposed never to
hear. Edith was swearing!
The mother called her little girl into
the house and talked to her for a long
time about the language of nice children
and the third commandment.
And Edith listened attentively and
promised never to use that naughty
word again. .
The next day the mother heard pussy
mewing pitifully, and ran to its rescue.
There, on the back porch, sat
Edith, again boxing the kitten's ears,
again chiding it in no kindly tones.
"You bad kitten!" cried Edith,
"you"?
"Edith," called her mother, in time to
prevent any end of the sentence,
"Edith, you told me you wouldn't use
that word again!"
"I didn't use it," the child declared,
stoutly, "I'm not saving it. I truly am
not. But what's the difference? She's
that kind of a ca:!"?Philadelphia

In an Emergency.
When you are in the parlor with a
beautiful young creature, and the elec

are seated beside her on the divan, collect
your wits. Tell her not to bo

pockets until you find a match. Strike
it and ask her if she can find a candle.

negro interviewed by a religious worker

county's model young: citizens and successful
farmers, had the misfortune to

1 working with a heavy gate A motion
was made before Judge Ernest
Moore here Saturday afternoon for
bail in the ease of Jim Clark, the
young negro charged with the murder
of his cousin, Charlotte Clark, in Flat
Creek township, recently. Bail was
granted in the sum of $2,000, which
was given and the defendant released.
1 Mr. W. A. Lingle, one of the
prosperous young farmers of the Creek
section, had a successful corn shucking
at his home last Saturday. The pile
was estimated at about 500 bushels.
Mr. Lingle had only one hired hand
from the first of June until crops were
laid by. He has 1,200 pounds of nice
hogs fattening in the pen, and says he
is going to "eat hog and hominy and
live at home." The experience of
the boys who were recently fined $100
each for gambling should serve as a
useful lesson to them as well as a
warning to others who may be patrons
ot' the gaming table. Nothing will
demoralize a young man more quickly,
wreck his character and destroy his
prospects in life than the fixed gambling
habit. Many a youth indulges in
card-playing for money thoughtlessly;
he doesn't stop to think about the evil
consequences, and before he realizes
it the damnable infatuation has lured
him to the verge of ruin. Cut out the
habit now before it is too late.

the First Baptist church was startled
Sunday night by the announcement
by Dr. A. M. Simms, the beloved pastor.
that his resignation was in the
hands of the deacons, .and that the
same would be reported on next Sunday.
Dr. Simms has been pastor of
the First Baptist church for nearly
seven years. He has been very active
for a man of his years and has accomplished
a noble work. He is one of
i the most fearless and outspoken men
in the ministry today, and while he
is not in any sense sensational he
never hesitates to say just what he
thinks is right. We have no means of
knowing whether or not his resignation
will be accepted, but we do know
his place will be difficult to fill in case
he does go away. It has been known
for some time that Dr. Simms is in
declining health and that he has been
contemplating retiring from the ministry
on account of his condition. It
is expected that in case his resignation
is accepted he will go to Raleigh,
X. C.. his old home, and spend the
remainder of his life with his children,
relatives and old friends.

day afternoon and told to stay away
from Fort Mill for two years Mr.
W. H. Windle, one of Fort Mill township's
well known farmers, had the
misfortune Wednesday afternoon to
lose from his pocket a roll of currency
amounting to $260, 13 20-dollar hills.
All effort to locate the money has
proved futile. Wednesday afternoon
Mr. Windle joined a friend at his (Mr.
Windle's) home and the two drove in
a buggy to the home of a neighbor,
several hundred yards distant. Mr.
Windle thinks the money slipped from
his pocket and fell to the ground while
he was in the buggy. He is confident
that he had the money, wrapped in a
piece of paper, in his trousers' pocket
when he left home. After alighting
from the buggy he missed the package
and although a search of the road the
buggy had traversed was made shortly
after the loss was discovered, the money
could not he found. Several wagons
passed over the road meanwhile,
however, and it is Mr. Windle's opinion
that the money was found by an occupant
of one of the wagons. The $260
had been in Mr. Windle's possession
only a few hours, being a part of an
$800 payment which he received at the

of Bailes' "marriage bureau" become
to the pood people of this community
and to the better element of
the citizenship of Mecklenburg county,
N. C., that in 1906 Governor Heyward
was induced to revoke Bailes' commission.
But the revocation of his
commission seems to have had the effect
of putting Bailes under restraint
only temporarily. He is again advertising
for business and as formerly
is issuing a schedule of his marriage
fees. Until a few weeks ago, little had
been heard of Bailes in Fort Mill since
Governor Heyward sought to close up
his "bureau" in 1906. He had been out
of the state for some time, there being
an indictment against him in the York
county court for adultery. But a rather
unexpected turn in Bailes* domestic
affairs influenced Solicitor Henry to
quash the indictment and he is again
residing at his home in upper Fort
Mill township, conducting the affairs of
his farm and trying to induce love sick
swains and lassies to come to him to
be made husband and wife. Bailes'
latest scheme of advertising his "marriage
bureau" is a neatly printed postcard
which he is circulating generously
throughout the country. The face of
the postcard bears a likeness of Bailes,
printed in blue ink, with the following
underneath it: "Squire Bailes, the
greatest marrying specialist the south
ever knew. Residence, York county,

reverse side of the postcard is the
schedule of marriage fees, concluding
with five lines of doggerel about his

ilotfs of fashion.
The popularity of the one-piece dress
does not abate. Women have found
it a good rival to the coat and skirt
which carries a separate blouse. It
has been prophesied that this onepiece
gown would "oust" the coat suit,
but so far there has been no sign of
that. The white and colored blouse is
worn with the coat suit, and probably
will lie as long as the American woman
l?ads the life she does. There is
I plentj of room in the life of every active
woman for both a one-piece dress
and a coat suit, the winters are ions
and one can pet a good deal of service
out of both styles. The former is far
more economical for the house, for everyone
knows if the skirt and blouse
of a suit is worn constantly in the
house, they are shabby long before the
coat has begun to wear.
Another economical phase of the
one-piece gown is that often it can be
made at home, and for a great deal less
than one must pay a tailor for a coat
suit.
There is a distinct change in the new
one-piece frock from those that have
been with us. The princess is entirely
out of style, and also the Moyenage,
though one does see a few of the latter.
The well-known design which had
the princess effect from shoulder to
lenee, then a plaited flounce, with a
fold or sash as a heading, grew too
familiar in its day. Its popularity
caused us aeam. mere is no possiDiiity
of its being revived any time soon.
The name Manon Leseaut has been
given the newest one-piece dress. It
was invented for a celebrated actress
in a new play by this name and has
become a great favorite. The skirt is
scanty with side seams, and little
gussets . let in at the hem, outlined
with buttons. The blouse is cut on the
peasant lines but quite close and snug
and crossed double-breasted below the
bust, where it is fitted into a high Empire
girdle of satin caught with a rosette
at the side of the back. The real
Manon effect was gotten through a
fichu of sheer white mull, which was
drawn across the bust and below the
shoulders, and finished with a tiny
plaited edge of itself. This left a
slightly low neck, which was outlined
flatly with thin lace. The sleeves are
short and small, ornamented with a
narrow gusset at the back edged with
buttons and dropped over a threequarter
sleeve of black chiffon.
The Directoire frock has been revived
without any objection on the part of
the public. It even has the slash at
the side, but as it is filled in with a
panel of some other material, it can
hardly raise a howl of protest.
This winter's Directoire, is one-piece
and has a good deal of grace about it.
Its skirt is very scanty, but has no
suggestion of hobble, its bodice is ornamented
with voluminous revers that
hide its narrowness, and its sleeves
are peasant, they have nothing in common
with the original Directoire mode.
They are cut in one with the shoulders,
and the line under the arm goes
close to the armpit, and is small and
short. When the real Directoire sleeve
is used it is cut in one with the shouler,
and runs to the wrists, tightening
as it does, and is snugly held in by
satin buttons and finished with a plaited
frill of some thin, white stuff.
The plain walking and traveling suit
of this season has more picturesque
quality, than is usual with these sturdy
outfits. It may be the feminine
touches, such as dainty blouses, odd
bags, and original head gear, that is
responsible and it may be the assembled
efforts of all the manufacturers,
who have exhausted the present resources
of the world for designs and
weaves to make feminine wardrobes
the most lavish if not the most beautiful
in the history of dress.
A cloudy gray suit, with a sailor
collar and scarf of moire silk of a
darker shade, a plain leather belt and
blousy waist, sounds anything but sensational,
but on a pretty girl off for a
trip the other day, it was attractive
enough to make heads turn as she
passed.
More responsibility rests upon the
wearer of the gown or suit than of old.
Physical training has had much to do
with making the present difficult styles.
One has only to look at the old family
daguerreotypes of civil war days, to
see the women of that day would have
made a poor show in the straight,
lanky clothes of today.
Bordered chiffons in evening tints
with flowered patterns on the deep side
bands, are becoming very popular for
evening dresses. It is from 42 to 44
inches deep.
With the return of rough-faced
wools come some new materials of astonishing
lightness in weight. Ratine,
one of the newest and first to arrive is
the apothesis of the knotted-faced
chinchilla, but is as light in weight as
some silks. As yet this is very scarce
and has been seen on very few counters.
The weave is an old one, but in
its former vogue it was very heavy of
weight and not the supple fabric it is
in its transformation.
Odd belt arrangements are a feature
of new suits. They encircle the entire
waist and crop out wherever the designer
sees fit to bring them into view.
Quantities of embroidery are employed
on suits intended for dress
wear, and there are original little
waist coat effects for open fronts.
Velvet bags are in demand.
Walking dresses are from three to
four inches from the floor. With tailored
costumes, a velvet, satin or fur
toque is worn.
Artificial flowers will be worn a
great deal with evening gowns this
season.
The one-piece gown, which fastens
in the back is in excellent style.
Slenderness in effect is the dominant
note of all the winter styles in coats
and suits.
This season the Empire lines are
everywhere in evidence, one of the
lirst problems is to know how to look
well in the high waist line. No fault
is more blameworthy according to
the laws of dress, than a choice of a
frock that makes its wearer look ridiculous.
A cruel revenge takes by the
Empire models to the fullest extent
upon those who err in choosing the
wrong Empire models.
By wearing a broad sash, which can
be modeled in such a manner, that the
high waist line is suggested, and by
mounting filmy outer fabrics that compose
the dress and which must be full,
over a fitted silken sheath, two means
are offered for the adaption of the high
UdJfll I 111* 111 I f* oi o lliv ?(tMI in
not a wise choice, Imt the fitted foundation,
always is.
When planning this season's outfit,
give these matters a thought. If you
haven't the eye for yourself ask some
friend, who lias, to tell you when these
details are artistically correct.
A novelty shown in the newest skirt

WATERLOO.
There was a sound of revelry by night,
And Relgium's capital had gathered
then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and
bright
The lamps shone o'er fair women
and brave men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and
when
Music arose with its voluptuous swell,
Soft eyes looked love to eyes which
spake again,
And all went merry as a marriagebell:
But hush! hark! a deep sound strikes
like a rising knell!
Did ye not hear it? No; 'twas but the
wind,
Or the ear rattling; o'er the stony
street.
On with the danee! let joy lie unconflned!
No sleep till morn, when Youth and <
Pleasure meet
To chase the glowing Hours with
flying feet! I
Bbt hark!?that heavy sound breaks 1
in once more,
As if the clouds its echo would re- i
peat;
And nearer, clearer, deadlier, than before!
i
Arm! arm! it is?it is?the cannon's
opening roar! i
Within a windowed niche of that high <
hall
Sate Brunswick's fated chieftain; he ]
did hear I
That sound the first amidst the festi- I
val, ]
And caught its tone with Death's \
prophetic ear; I
And when they smiled because he
deemed it near,
His heart more truly knew that peal i
too well (
Which stretched his father on a <
bloody bier, I
And roused the vengeance blood alone '
could quell; <
He rushed into the field, and, foremost
fighting, fell. 1
Ah! then and there was hurrying to I
and fro, <
And gathering tears, and tremblings i
of distress, !
And cheeks all pale which but an hour I
ago 1
Blushed at the praise of their own ]
loveliness. 1
Ana mere were suuucn iitumiKs,
such as press ]
The life from out young hearts, and 1
choking sighs
Which ne'er might lie repeated; who
frould guess 1
If ever more should meet those mutual
eyes, 1
Since upon night so sweet such awful <
morn could rise! (
And there was mounting in hot haste;
the steed,
The mustering squadron, and the
clattering car
Went pouring forward with impetuous
speed,
And swiftly forming in the ranks of
war;
And the deep thunder peal on peal
afar;
And near, the beat of the alarming
drum
Roused up the soldier ere the morning
star:
WThile thronged the citizens with terror
dumb,
Or whispering with white lips, "The
foe! They come! They come!"
Last noon beheld them full of lusty
life,
Last eve in beauty's circle proudly
The midnight brought the signal sound
of strife,
The morn, the marshalling in arms;
the day.
Battle's magnificently stern array!
The thunderclouds close o'er it, which
when rent
The earth is covered thick with other
clay,
Which her own clay shall cover, heaped
and pent.
Rider and horse, friend, foe, in one red
burial blent!
?George Gordon Byron.
THE CHAMBERED NAUTILUS.
This is the ship of pearl, which, poets
feign,
Sails the unshadowed main,?
The venturous bark that flings
On the sweet summer wind its purpled
wings
In gulfs enchanted, where the Siren
sings,
And coral reefs lie bare,
Where the cold sea-maids rise to sun
their streaming hair.
Its webs of living gauze no more un- <
furl;
Wrecked is the ship of pearl!
And every chambered cell
Where its dim dreaming life was wont
to dwell, I
As the frail tenant shaped his growing 1
shell,
Before thee lies revealed,?
Its irised celling- rent, us suniess cry pi
unsealed! i
Year after year beheld the silent toil '
That spread his lustrous coil;
Still, as the spiral grew.
He left the past year's dwelling for
the new,
Stole with soft steps its shining arch
way through,
Built up its idle door.
Stretched in his last-found home, and
knew the old no more.
Thanks for the heavenly message
brought by thee.
Child of the wandering sea,
Cast from her lap, forlorn!
From thy dead lips a clearer note is
born
Than ever Triton blew from wreathed
horn!
While on mine ear it rings.
Through the deep caves of thought I
hear a voice that sings: ?
Build thee more stately mansions. O
my soul
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the
last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome
more vast,
Till thou at length art free. t
Leaving thine outgrown shell by lif/s
unresting sea! 1
?Oliver Wendell Holmes.

THE GIRL OF FASHION.
3
Keeping Up the Styles Indicates More
Than Frivolity.
The endless procession of the fashions
has its meaning and its meaning
is translated by a clergyman who regards
it of pnmifh sniritunl imnortance
to devote a sermon to it.
"There is no more potent influence
for good in the modern community to- 1
day than feminine fashion," we learn.
"Not only are the ever-changing fashions
of women one of the chief delights
of civilized communities, but it is a
safe statement to make that we have
no more conclusive key to a woman's
moral and mental development than
the clothes she wears. No woman today,
however free she may consider
herself from the lure of the latest thing
in clothes, shoes, hats and gloves, can
afford to be otherwise than well dressed.
The young man who contemplates
marriage nowadays may fight shy of
the girl of fashion, but he makes a
mistake. He may be a gainer at first
financially, but in the end he pays a
terrible price for his shortsightedness.
The girl who is lax about her personal
appearance is lax mentally and morally.
She is not made of the stuff that
turns out self-respecting children. !
She is either a visionary, and as such i
an unreliable element in the community
or she is downright lax and shiftless."
1
So, there, young man, if you desire
your household to be a pride and a joy |
forever, install a fashionable girl at
the head of it. She'll see that you
don't have a sea-green rug and a purple
sofa in the parlor, and that the
neighbors will not smile at the quality
of the lace curtains.
No young man who is worth anything
to the community will regret
that his hat costs $2.50 while his wife's '
costs $35. It is his duty and pleasure
to shine by reflected glory; and there <
is something else than scorn to be en- *
tertained toward the youth who feels a I
deep, absorbing pride in being seen at
the theatre with the girl who has the
best clothes in town or accompanies to
the picnic the village belle, whose
parasol came from New York. ,
The reassuring words of the pastor
will leave in many a heart a satisfying
sense that on this earth all is not
vanity.
Warning to Backbiters.
Charles Dickens once wrote to a
friend:
"I have distinguished myself in two
respects lately. I took a young lady,
unknown, down to dinner, and talked
to her about the Bishop of Durham's
neptosim in the matter of Mr. Cheese
T found she was Mrs. Cheese. And
I expatiated to the member for
Marylebone, thinking him to be an
Irish member, on the contemptible
character of Marylebone constituency
and the Marylebone representatives."
Two such mishaps in one evening
were enough to reduce the most brilliant
talker to the condition of three
Inside passengers of a London-bound
coach, who beguiled the tedium of the
journey from Southampton by discussing
the demerits of William Cor
bett until one of the party went so
far as to assert that the object of
iheir denunciation was a domestic
tyrant, given to beating his wife.
Much to his dismay the solitary
woman passenger, who had hitherto
sat a silent listener remarked:
"Pardon me. sir. a kinder husband
and father never breathed: and I
ought to know, for I am William
Uobbett's wife."
Mr. Giles of Virginia and Judge
Duval of Maryland, members of congress
during Washington's administration.
boarded at the house of a
Mrs. Gibbon, whose daughters were
well on in years and remarkable for
talkativeness.
When Jefferson became president.
Duval was comptroller of the treasury
and Giles a senator. Meeting
>ne day in Washington, they fell to
chatting over old times, and the senator
asked the comptroller if he knew
what had become of "that cackling
ild maid. Jenny Gibbon."
"Sht*is Mrs. Duval, sir," was the reply.
Giles did not attempt to mend mat- ters
as a certain Mr. Turberville unwisely
did. Happening to observe to j
* fellow guest that the lady who had i
'at at his right hand at dinner was 4
the ugliest woman he had ever beheld,
the person addressed expressed
his regret that he should think his
wife so ill looking.
"I have made a mistake," said the
horrified Turberville. "I meant the
lady who sat on my left."
"Well. sir. she Is my sister."
This brought the frank avowal: ..
"It can't be helped, sir. then; for if u
what you say be true, I confess I |
never saw such an ugly family In the
course of my life."?Tlt-Blts.
