"I was run- i ning a store on the Thome's Ferry J Road near Catawba river in the India Hook section. Kirby's father, Larkin Kirby, was living in the neighborhood ; and knowing that I was in need of a i jp. ' clerk he brought his sou to me. Hej was iir my employ for about four; ^ months, I guess and he was a pretty ||t''fair worker. Early one morning Ij g|i noticed some water underneath a barjreil of salt and because of the fact that gpT iny attention was drawn to it, I I moved the barren.

Well, of course that bluff of honesty didn't go with me. I sent for his father and after telling him what, had happened I let the boy go. He left the neighborhood pretty soon after that and entered upon a life of straight-out crime, winding up Friday, June 16th, in the electric chair. He had his left arm off, you know, and I understand that happened when he fell off a freight train while beating a ride.

We want some accidental, unpredictable felicity to disturb the even tenor of our way. The maiden has her cherished vision of a Prince Charming who shall suddenly arrive from somewhere?and the thrill and the fearful fascination are that she does not know when he is to come, or whence Love, like lightning, is to strike without a possibility of forecast. The young man goes to a city, or visits a far country, lured by the like- | lihood of an adventure. He joins the navy, on the promise that he is to see the world, in which things are different from what he finds about him in South Carolina every morning. He enlists in the marines, because the j u:.i ^ marines are summuneu uuuci <mu thither, and encounter risks, and go where things are stirring arid history is written at the point of burnished Tlmetolto-arft?

We made a tentative plan for the day. We could not tell what an agreeable surprise the generous heart and the kind act of a dear friend would impart into it. erhaps it was a letter. Perhaps it was a visit of solace. Perhaps it was a poem read, or a book lent, or a favorite dessert sent in. or a bunch of flowers bestowed . Whatever it was. it gave us a new outlook, and we said thanks not merely for a gift, but for the friendship of I which the gift was the welcome sym| bol. It brought us a heartening evidence that we did not live and labor in solitude, unregarded. There were j some?or there was one?who thought of us when we knew it not. I If you expect to be asked for a party or a journey, and then are not invited, it may be disappointing?es? pecially in tender youth. But if there is disappointment when our hope is denied or deferred, there is likewise a rare satisfaction in being asked, when we did not expect to be asked, to a delightful occasion. The pleasure is the greater because we had not guessed that it was coming. The unexpected is not always fun. Sometimes it is a tragedy, that sweeps away in one fell moment what we had labored through the years to build. In the event of such disaster, it is for us to prove that life is greater than any of its "changes and chances," anc we are to be captains of our souls even through the dark days we could not forecast.

Rauch, W. Main St., says: "I was complaining with my back and kidneys and the trouble came on from heavy work and a cold. Mornings I felt dreadfully tired and | my DacK was sore ana suil. jsiiarp pairs caught me across my kidneys. My head felt light and I became so dizzy I wasn't even able to get out of bed. I was run down and my housework became burdensome. My kidneys did not act as they should and when I read about Doan's Kidnej Pills I bought some at the Harmor Drug Store. Doan's rid me of the trouble and I haven't had a spell witlmy kidneys in some time now." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburr Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N.
