WHO BANGED SUSIE’S HAIR.
Susie Burke catuc in from the
garden one warm summer after
, noon, with her little scissors in one
hand and a lot of paper dolls and
doll’s clothes in the other.
‘•Why, Susie!” exclaimed her
mother, “what in the world have
you been doing to yonrselU”
"Susie Burke, whatever possessed
you to cut your hair like that?” ex
claimed Ilellen I.er,•eldest sister.
•‘()'O-h! What will papa say? he
just hates bangs!” put in Harry
j Burke, Susie’s brother.
“How could yon do such a thing,
: my child?” asked Susie’s mother,
with looks of mingled astonish—
' ment and displeasure.
I Susie’s face g;-ew red and she
i looked ready to cry. She put her
hand uneasily te her forehead, a
| cross which the soft, dark hair,
1 usually combed smoothly back,
fell in irregular lines. It was easy
tp sep that the “banging” had
’ been done by no pn pt iced hand,
“I didn t do it, mama,” said feiu
i sie.
i “You didn’t do it; who did
■ then?"’
‘>J don't ]<now, truly, mama.’’
‘‘Why, Susie, how can th;|t be
; possible?” said mama.
“Why, Susie Burke, what a sto
ry!” exclaimed Hairy.
■‘Hush., Harry! Don’t accMsc
your little sister of telling what

“In the irbor in the garden,
cu'ting out dresses for my dollies,”
said Susie, holding up what she had
| in her hand as evidence of truth of
her words.
“All the time?” querried mama,
‘A es, all the time. I haven't
been any where else.”
“And you didn't cut any of your
hair, not the least little lock?'’
“No, npt the least little bit. I
knew papa wouldn’t like it.”
“Did anybody come into the gar
den while you v as there?”
•‘I did’t see anybody, mama.”
“Well, if that isn't a mystery?”
exclaimed Mrs. Burke.
“It’s awful hard to believe, I
think,” said sister Helen.
‘AVo must-behave it. Little Su
sia has never been known to tell a
lie. Whatever any of my children
tell me, I shall believe as true, till
! they have clearly proved their
words untrustworthy,” said mama
firmly.
“But how could such a thing Le?”
argued Helen. “Iler hair is cut
all ragged, exactly as a child wpjild
do it if tried td do it herself,
and she dijnfl do it, and don’t
I know who did it.”
“And she asked Papa the other
, day if she might have her hair
banged, just hke Nellie East
man's.” said Harry.”
“I didn't do it, truly, trulv, ma
' ma,” was all poor Susie could uige,
I while she nested closer within the
encii ling arm whose close clasp
1 seemed to assure her of defense
against the displeasure and dis
i trust of all the world,
j- “We shall hayc to wipt fflid see

“Will ho be very angry?” asked
Susie. “Will you tell him 1 didn't
do it?”
“Or consent to its being done.”
cross-questioi cd Helen.
“I didn't even know it was done
till just as I got up to come in,”
Susie declared. “I thought some
thing felt odd, and I put my hand
up, and it was all cut, so.”
This was a mystery indeed,
nor could papa solve it, though he
questioned ills little daughter even
, -noTj closely than her mother and
j sistcy hail dope.
“We must believe she speaks
tlio truth, because she has earned a
character for truth.” he said at
last. “I should be sadly disap

“I have just found out that this

- know, as Susie might be blamed
unjustly. I brought him b„re that
he might confess. Now, RoHie
tell Mrs. Burke.”
» “I cut Susie's hair,” Rollie

; to the floor.
' “But how? It has been the
greatest mystery to us! How
could you do it and Susie mYknow
• it?”
. “Oh; she was asleep’” said R-fl

doll in one hand and the scissors

other, and I just thought I'd bang

won't never do so again,” said Rol
lie penitently.
“Did she get much blame for
it?” inquired Mrs. Lake. “I
couldn't think how you could help
belcivingshe did it, however she
might deny it.”
“We couldn’t understand it at

on the walk. In the shadow of the

of scanty food 4 of nights when the

confronted by mocking shadows.

man with a wood-saw on Ins arm—
croosed the street to rest for a mo

glanced at the boy and turned a

and now he saw the picture and
read the story. He, too, knew
what it was to shiver and hnn-.-ur.
He tip-toed along until he could
bend over the boy, and then he.
took from his pocket a' piece of
bread and meat—the dinner he was
to pat if he fp.undjwork—and laid
it down beside the lad. Then he
walked carelessly away, looking
back every moment, but keeping
out-of sight as he wanted to escape

Don’t find Fault.
In the first place, does it pay to

a very easy matter to pick up flaws
in any piece of work, for no one’s
work is perfect. Faultfinding o 4 ’-

a home where fault-finding is con

1 Wednesday, ; .n company with

crs and II L Stevenson, we went
r out as far as Davis’ gap to see
how the work of construction was
- 'progressing. We found a force
* j from Gadsden ar the gap, whose
*, j instructions were to work toward
2 1 Gadsden. The contract to clear
r i a mile of the right of way and pre
-1 pare for the grading force was let
1 to a citizen of that locality, his
work to be done from the gap and
J extending this wav. The remaiu

J a squad of hands toward Sulphur
Springs. As soon as the right of
L way ha»» i>een cleared off and Mr,

- at Jacksonville. The work done
on the line before the war is in
splendid condition. It w-as built
wide enough for a double track '
and has substantial stone culverts
at every point where water crosses
the road. The road, when uum
pletpj will be a very fine paying
road. When extended from here
to CarroPton, (work on the other
end progressing proportionately) it

Just as soon as vou can get it
ready. The same amount of cotton
is heavier then than ever after. If
you keep it home, it may got burnt
up; if you bring it to town, you
will have to pay storage, and then
the chances are still greater of hav
ing it burnt; if you insure it, that
costs money ; besides, cotton goes
down about as often as it goes up.
Hence, by holding you are as apt
to hit a lower market as a higher
one. If you owe money pay it and
stop the interest for it is hard money
to pay’; you get nothing for it but
a little time. If you don't owe any
money, sell get the money and buy
what you need cheap. If you don’t
need anything, loan your money
and secure it well by collaterals or
mortgages. You can do so easily
—and when you collect your inter
est, it will be the easiest made
.money you ever had : it accumu
lates during ail sorts of weather 1
and under all circumstances.
This crop is short, and very
short, hence we are apt to conclude
that the price will be higher. But •
to offset this there are thousands of ■'
goods all over the world that can
not be sold for what it cost to
make them. It is said that ’over
one hundred thousand persons that
were engaged in the manufacture
of cotton and wool are now out of
employment by the stoppage of
factories, besides ten thousands en
gaged in other industries that are
out of employment, caused by the
depression in trade and business.
Laborers unemployed arc general
ly non-consumers ; hence cansump
tion may l>e decreased more than
the crop. Hard Times'

Advice to children.—Children
who have a little money ought to
practice saving something. Many
boys and girls of to-day hardly
know a higher use for money that
comes in their hand than spending
it for foolish things as quickly as
possible. To such a lesson self-de
nial and economy is very impor
tant. As go the boy t s pennies and
dimes, so, very likely, will go the
man’s dollars and hundreds by and
by. Without having the spirit of
a miser, the persons accustomed to
save has morejpleasure ir laying up
than a spendthrift ever knows.
The way to keep money is to
earn it fairly and honestly. Mon
ey so obtained is pretty sure to a
bide with its possessor. But mon
ey that is inherited, or that in any
way comes without a fair and just
equivalent, is almost certain to go
as it came. The young man who
begins by saving a few dollars a
month, and thriftily increases his
store —every coin being a repre
sentative of good, solid work, hon
estly and manly done—stands a
better chance to spend the last half
of his life in affluence and comfort
than lie who, in his haste to become
rich, obtains money by dashing
speculation, or the means which a
boirnd in the foggy region lying
between fair dcajing and fraud.—
Among the wisest and most tlirif
ity men of wealth the proverb is
‘.‘money goes as it comes.” Let
the young make a note of this, and
see that their money comes fairly,
that it may long abide with them.

i The cause of this strange phe

ever. The fanciful theories about
cosmic dust and volcanic dust or

stand on any solid basis. Probably
the most plausible theory thus far
advanced is the one that it is elec

to the aurora borealis and aurora
australis. Yet this appears to be
erroneous in view of the fact* that
i there is no coincidental disturbance

needles in sections of country where
the phenomenon is most brilliant.
It has been suggested that there is
pome connection between the crim-
I som sunsets and the sun spots about
which the scientists now have so
much to say, but no satisfatory at
tempt has been made to explain
what that connection is supposed
to be.
Scientists may very properly ap- 1
ply themselves to the task of find
ing out the great secret of nature
involved in the production of these
after-glows, and ordinary mortals
may enjoy the mysterious beauty
of the scenes, but there is no rea
son for any alarm on the subject.
Probably similar glows have oc
curred during many periods in the
world’s history without attracting
any special attention, although it
is universally conceded that they
arc something very extraordinary
in the present age.
Heads and Points.
A pin and a needle, say- the
American Fontaine, being neigh
bors in a werk basket, and both
being idle, began to quarrel as
idle folks are apt to do.
“I should like to know” said the
pin, “what ton are good for, and
how do you expect tc get through
the world without ahead?”
“What is the use of your head,’’
replied the needle rather sharply,
“if yon have.no eye?”
“Whats the use of an eye,” said
the pin, “if there is always soma
thing in it?”
“I am more active, and can go
through more jvork than you can.”
said the needle.
“Yes, but you will not live
long.”
“Why not?”
“Because you have always a
stitch in your side,” said the pin,
and you are so proud that you
can’t 15end without breaking your
back.”
“I 11 pull your head off if you
insult me again.”
“I'll pull your eye out if you
touch me, remember your life
hangs by a single thread,” said the
pin.
While they were thus con vers
ing a little girl entered, and under
taking to sew, she soon broke off
the needle at the eye. Then she
tied the thread around the neck of
the pin, and attempting to sew
with it, she soon pulled its head off
and threw it into the dirt by the
side of the broken needle.
“Well, here we are,” said the
needle.
“We have nothing to fight a*:
bout now,’’ said the pin.
