Ms friendships w llh thinking men and women, hi* bereave ment i jliCll cm him to the heart. tended to make him' look beneath the chances of uijsfortuno to the springs and mo tives of human character and action. As a result of this ripening and broadening. Twain vame to . have. an Indubitable ^erlou^jiess, says a writer in the Minneapolis Journal. The chief characteristic of his serious thought was a distrust of conventional at titudes and prevailing opinions. Ills stories carried him fur at\cld into realms of art. hiu(oi-y. language ntndy and reiialon. With cynical and burn ing iusii.dit he Indicted the piety of Christian peopled wlio could injnke great professions and nt the same time devise with Increasing 'ferocity deadly means of making war. AM the Christian nations he snw were at the game. "And the more advanced they are the bigger and more destructive engines- of war they create." ITowells calls Mark Twain the Lin coln of Americun literature. There are several parallels between the two men. Both came from homes of poverty mid were of humble parentage. Both had to make their way In the world through their own unaided ef | forts and both attained positions In the hearts of the people. The cloud <rf seriousness 'and pathos dorv? not hung over Twain ns heavily or pervasively as over Lincoln. But the same rational tnslght that gave him power to find humor tn the I neon* untitles of life revealed to him also the still sad music of humanity. Mark Twain as a humorist will not he valued less in the coding years. But Twalri as a keen observer of life and a man with serious purposes and Ideals will be more valued than he has been.'; ~ Spanish Girl'sjCourtihfp. In - the Canary istas, where rigid Spanish" customs prevail, a girl does not enjoy much freedom. In default of outdoor amusements or exercise she bpendK many hours at her win dow gazing at whatever uiuy be going on outside. To a Spanish girl the important thing about a window is that It should command a view of u street or square. For if auy young man wishes to en gage Dolores or Pepita in -conversation for a couple of hours every day here Ik the proper recognized place to do so. The Spanish young mau will stand patientiy day after day with his head at on impossible angle discoursing with his lady love. No formal introductions need pre cede these window courtships, and If a veiling man finds that a girl's powers of conversation are not wor thy to be cultivated for a lifetime, he may discontinue his visits without ceremony. Should they, however, re sult In a foiTOal engagement, It will still be many weeks before he is ad mitted to the house. k Jodhpur Trousers.

The qualities of moat flour, n new food that 1h being made in Now Zea land, were described to a meeting of farmers ami others held In a New-Zea land town. The speaker said that re cently at a dinner IS person* sat down to a meal composed out fire! y of meat Hour dishes, and only a little over half a-pound of meat flour was used In its preparation. It was excellent for In valids and bore a high food value. It could be exported easily and compact ly, and would keejx, so far as present tests' went,., for two years without the slightest sign of deterioration. It took three pounds of meat to produce one pound of the flour, which was at pres ent being readily sold at five shillings ($1.25) a pound and was found exceed ingly economical In the household at this price. Negroes Move to the Cities. The negro urban i>opulutlon oi the United States is now, h* round num bers, about 8,500,000, ?nd even more when towns and villages of less than 2,500 inhabitants are included; thnt is, one-third of the nogroes of the United States are now living In vil lages, towns and cities. The larger part of the increase in negro urban population has been due to migration. In the last Ave years Rome 500,000 ne groes have moved from rural districts Into the towns and cities. A large pro portion, therefore, of the n^gro popula tion is new to city conditions. ? South ern VVnrbmun No. 486 STATEMENT OF THE CONDITION OF THE MERCHANTS & FARMERS BANK LOCATED AT BETHUNE, 8. C?
