CAROLINA GIRL TO PRACTICE LAW.
Miss Ruth DuRant Evaas, a Native ol
Marioo.
Miss Ruth IhiRant Evans,a native
of Marion, but now a resident of
Chattanooga, Teun., is the only
woman graduate of the class of 1908
of the Chattanooga University of
Law. Miss Evans graduated at the
head of a class of 150 and was highly
complimented for her excellent work
in examination. j
The news of Miss Evans' success
will be gratifying to her friends in
/ South Carolina. She has large fam'
ily connections in the Pee Dee sectiou
of the State.
The Chattanooga News, in speaking
of Miss Evans'graduation, says:
"The male members of the family
have been lawyers from generation to
generation, and no doubt the ability
and taste for the law has been or
ganized in her by hereditary transmission.
Miss Evans' work during
the session has been characterized by
remarkable efficiency. '*
Tlj| Marion Star adds the following:
"South Carolina may well take off
its hat to Miss .fcvans. She has held
ber owu in a class in which were
members of legislature and real estate
men of age and experience. It
is said that her examination papers
presented to the Tennessee bar examiners
have received the highest
praise, as having an unusual legal
tone.
"Whatever may be said of Miss
Evans' logical right of advantage of
descent in the male line, she has
very superior opportunity by mere
association with a yery brilliant
mother.
"Added to brains, Miss Evans has
grace and beauty, a triple alliance to
insure a remarkable career to this
young lady."?The State.

Bom Is What Ve Hake It
A man may own a handsome and
well furnished residence and yet may
( not possess a home?that is, a homo
in its best and purest sense, where
domestic felicity reigns supreme; for
only amid such surroundings can we
find the happy home.
So understood, there is no sweeter
word in the language than "home,"
and one has well said: "Few words
lie nearer the heart than the word
'home.'" To tho3e of us who are
trained in good homes, how deep,
how heartfelt is the pity we feel for
those who were deprived of that
moral and social stimulus that is the
concomitant of the happy home!
"Where is your home?" a little
boy was asked by an acquaintance.
"Where mother is," the little fellow
replied, as he looked lovingly
across at her.
The little boy's philosophy would
be endorsed by many of maturerage.
Undoubtedly the mother of a family,
the mistress of the house, has much
to do with the "tone" or quality of
home life. The author of "The
Chronicles of the Schoenberg-Cotta
Family" says: "Of our mother I
. . cannot think of anything to say.
She is just the mother?our own
dear, patient, loving little mother;
unlike every one else in the world,
\ and yet it seems as if there was nothI
ing to say about her by which one
^ -could make anyone understand what
. she is." In other words, the "dear,
patient, loving little mothers" are
sweetly indescribable, their fragrant
lives being often compressed into
that single yet significant sentence,
"She makes home happy."
Just how she does it would puzzle
her to tell in detail, and perhaps she
wouldn't if she could; but aside from
"personality" or the individual expression
of loving devotion which
prompts in a thousand ways, we may
safely give a few receipes for adding
to the good cheer of the home.
Here are several which we cordially
recommend:
1. Recipe for securing love: Love.
2. Recipe for educating your children:
Educate yourself.
3. Recipe for having friends: Be
one.
4. Recipe for perpetual ignorance:
Be satisfied with your opinions and
contented with your attainments.
5. Recipe for having a beautiful

6. Recipe for good temper: Keep

7. Recipe for lessening annoying
experiences: Don't *erve them up at
meal times.
8. Recipe for curing the "gadding"
habit: Make home the most
attractive place on earth.?Frank J.

W. T. Timraon8, of Waxahatchie
Tex., says his rheumatism was so
bad that he was confined to his bed
for months. Physicians advised Hot
Springs, Ark., and Mineral Wells'
Texas, at which place he spent seven
j weeks in vain, with knees so badly
swollen that his tortures were beyond
endurauce. P. P. P. made the cure
and proved itself as in thousands of

Dod'Is For Churchmen
Don't confound morality with
religion.
Don't mistake self-adulation for
self-respect.
Don't expect to love when reverence
has departed.
Don't become selfish because
selfishness is the essence of sin.
Don't patch a lie unless you want
to make a larger rent.
Don't* close your heart to heaven
if you want to dwell therein.
Don't try to get to heaven by
covering up your faults.
Don't undertake to know more
about God unless you are willing to
know more about your fellowmen.
Don't hunt for a martyr's crown
unless you are sure your head will
bear oue up.
Don't boast your helpfulness to
others if you would not be regarded
as self-satisfied.
Hav Blind Ton Died.
Thomas Wiggins, the blind negro
who was known as "Blind Tom," is
dead. As a slave he belonged to
General Bethune, of Georgia. At
the time of his death he was an
inmate of the home of Mrs. Lerche,
former wife of General Bethume,?
the General having died years ago,
and his widow having re-married.
Blind Tom was snch a familiar,
pathetic and marvelous freak of
3natnre that our readers will appreciate
an authentic account of his
death.
Several .newspapers have raised 1
a great wail because of the statement
that certain people had made 1
millions on "Blind Tom" and then
allowed mm to pass away m destitute
circumstances. That his last
days were spent in comfort, with
plenty and under the kindest of care 1
and good attention is clearly shown ^
from the following which appeared ^
immediately after his death in the
New York World:
Three weeks ago, as he sat before
his piano in the home of Mrs. Eliza
B Lerche, the widow of his old
master, at No. 60 Twelfth street,
Hoboken; singing the old melodies
with which he had thrilled great
audiences before the civil war, he
suddenly stopped and fell, face
downward on the floor. Mrs Lerche,
who has cared for him over twenty
years ran into the room, and helping
him up, found that his whole upper
right side was paralyzed.
But Tom couldn't understand
that he was different, and soon went
back to his piano. When he found
that his right hand could not strike
the keys he said, with his voice
quavering, "Tom's fingers won't
play." 1
Again and again he tried. Finally,
when he realized it was useless his
big blind eyes filled with tears and (
he wept likear-hild. Each day he ,
returned to the piano and with his ,
left han^sta* ted some favorite piece* (
Discords came quickly,however, and
then, with tearmoistened cheeks, he
would rise and pace the floor until ,
late into the night. His old mistress i
sought to comfort him, but he would :
only sob out "Tom's tingers won't i
play no more." i

Love Never CheapensA
grest man has written that the
trouble with women is that they
make themselves too cheap?too easy
to men who do not appreciate them
Well, perhaps he is right. A
woman's pride is almost invariably
sacrificed to her love. When she '
loves she loves, and all else sinks into
insignificance.
With men, almost without excep- j
tion amition comes aneau or love.
Whoever heard of a man giving up a
career for the sake of a woman?
But thousands of women have
giveu up a career without a second
thought simply because they loved a
man
If woman cheapens herself for
man's sake and man does not appreciate
it, it is to man's eternal dis-grace.
A woman's conception cf love is to
give and always to give.
She may be m ither, wife, sweetheart
or sister, but always she is
unselfishly bouring out her devotion
at the feet of some man.
Loye is too fiue a thing to desecrate
by the term 4 'cheapen.'' For perfect
love is self abnegation, and sacrifice
of self can never hurt the giver,
When a woman loves her one desire
is to see the loved one happy. In every
good woman's love there runs a<
strain of the maternal. That strain <
of maternal tenderness is the holiest
thing about a woman. like a brood- i
ing dove her mind continualy hovers i
over the welfare of the one she loves, i
There is not a man on earth, do <
matter how base he may be, who has ]
not at some hour of his life felt the
heavenly sweetness of some woman's i
devotioD. I
That he has grown callous to it <
and deserted or dishoaored it will t
weigh against him ia the last great ]
reckoning? (

left to Mrs Cleveland, although the
children and others have been provided
for liberally.
