BABIES ARE BOSSES.
They Seem to Serve Many Purposes
In This Busy World.
The baby serves a manifold pur
pose in the world. He makes men
and women more unselfish and fur
nishes the amount of trouble nec
essary to keep them comfortably
busy. He sanctifies home and gives
the doctor an excuse to look wise.
A well ordered, well born baby with
a red face and a bald head is a de
light, particularly when he belongs
to a friend and doesn’t spend nights
in your neighborhood.
Every baby is the prettiest baby
in the world, and it can be proved
by its mother. A baby that won’t
eat carpet tacks, brass headed nails
and young kittens is a mistake. Ba
bies are bosses and boodlers. They
control the First ward, along with
the Twelfth, rule outrageously over
the counties and take everything
that comes their way without ask
ing any questions. All babies are
supposed, quite properly, to come
from heaven, but what the angels,
cherubim, seraphim and the rest of
the celestial population do for sleep
has never been inquired into. Boy
babies are sweetest at four and girl
babies at twenty-four.
A baby is a joy forever until it
begins to fall out of the second sto
ry window, turn over the water
pitcher, hammer the china to pieces
with its fork and investigate the
medicine bottles on the shelf. Ev
ery baby is eternally trying to find
out more than he has any business
knowing, and the habit of asking
questions lasts through life. The
touch of a baby’s hand opens up
• heaven to a woman and makes a
man willing to wear patches the
rest of his natural life. It has been
said that every woman is entitled
to at least one child. So is every
man, but nobody has ever mention
ed the fact.
Borrowing babies is much sadder
than it is funny. Some day the
government will go into the busi
ness and keep babies to rent out —as
a matter of morals alone. Every
old bachelor’s quarters will contain
a nursery, and clubs will be a thing
of the past.—Paris (Mo.) Mercury.
Ready For Promotion.
A young rising Scotch artist, who
afterward became a distinguished
president of the Royal Scottish
academy, was painting on one occa
sion amid the rugged scenery of
the west highlands of Scotland, in
close proximity to an isolated and
rudely built thatched cottage such
as are usually inhabited by the
hardy peasant crofters of nor*th
Britain.
While engaged in giving the rough
stone exterior of his dwelling its
annual coat of whitewash the high
lander espied the future academi
cian engaged on an important pic
ture and, thinking probably that
landscape painting was but an ele
mentary and poor use for the brush
of a youth who had nearly reached
the estate of manhood, said to him:
“Man, yer a big callant to be pentin’
pictur’s. Can ye no’ learn to pent
hooses?”
His Account Book.
A firm of masons in an Irish
town employ a laborer whose novel
method of keeping account of his
time was brought to light lately by
a queer circumstance. He went one
evening to his employer’s home with
the sad intelligence that he had lost
his account book. He said that the
pigs had unfortunately got in and
eaten it up.
“What sort, of an account book
did you keep?” asked his employer.
“Why, I had an empty barrel,
and when I worked a whole day I
put in a potato, and when half a
day half a potato, and the pigs ate
them all entirely.”—Pearson’s Week
iy-
Sizing Up to the Auntie.
Young Edgar was on a visit to
the home of his two aunts, one of
whom is, to put it mildly, rather
plump. He saw her in her room
just as she was about to go out to a
formal dinner, and as she had not
drawn on her gloves he had an op
portunity to see her arms bared to
the shoulder. A little later, when
the other aunt was superintending
his evening bath, he stopped for a
moment, looked himself over and
said thoughtfully:
“I ain’t very fat, am I? My legs
aren’t as big as Aunt Cordelia’s
arms.”—New York Press.
Justifiable Suspicion.
“What makes you think Mrs.
Weeds isn’t sincere?”
“She says she will never love
again.”
“Well?”
“And that life holds nothing for
her.”
i “Well?”
“And that this world is but a
fleeting show.”
“Well?”
“Well, I roomed with her last
night, and she massaged her face for
an hour and wore a toilet mask to
bed with her.’* —Houston Post.
In Memonam.
Mrs. Mary A. Woodward was
born, in South Carolina, Oct. 24th,
1819. She departed this life Dec.
10th, .1903. These are the data
that cover tbe history of a long
life. For over eighty years the
character of this good woman has
been in the glare of human judg
ment. Eighty years of trial, of
disappointments, of griefs, but also
eighty years of victories, of achieve
ment, of joy. She was the daugh
ter of a Baptist preacher and early
in life became a Christian, and
through all the vicissitudes of her
long sojourn on earth adorned the
doctrines of godliness. As a
daughter, wife, mother, and grand
mother, she was faithful, loyal, true.
In every walk in life, in every rela
tion she bore to others, she was the
same earnest, loving Christian wo
man. She was old-fashioned—be
lieved m God, read His word,
trusted His promises and sought in
her home and among her children
to glorify His name by a life of de
votion to His cause and obedience
to His commands. Unostentatious
as her life and modest as her tastes
always were, she had many striking
traits of character, that made her
life a benediction to her home and
church. Strong in her faith and
buoyant in hope, she was always
cheerful, always gladsome, and it
was helpful to come in her pres
ence. Her name may not appear
on human rosters, but it was writ
ten in the Book of Life, and in the
great hereafter she will hear her
Lord calling her by name and say
ing, “Come ye blessed of my
Father, inherit the Kingdom pre
pared for you from the foundation of
the world.” God grant the com
forting presence of His Holy Spirit
to the bereavedones, and bring
them all to walk in her footsteps
and participate in the glory of her
eternal reward.

Romeo and Juliet.
Simevelle’s elaborate scenic revi
val of Shakespeare’s immortal trag
edy of love and passion, “Romeo
and Juliet,” will be presented at
Hunt’s Opera House, Jan 15th.
The Goldsboro, N. C., Argus of
Dec. 31 says:
The presentation of Romeo and
Juliet by the Simeville company in
the Messenger Opera House here
last night was in every way admi
rable and gave infinite satisfaction
to all Shakespearean students in the
audience. Especially did Miss
Louise Clarke make an ideal Juliet
—in face, in figure, in lithe and
graceful movement upon the stage,
in voice and in intelligent interpre
tation of her different role. In the
balcony scene she was delightful; in
the chamber scene with her royal
parent she was grand, in the potion
scene she was ideal—throughout
she was matchless.
