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.

George, Robertson & Law. 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. Prices, 75, 50, 25.

Brown, Gainesvillle. CLINCHEM. Rev. R. B. Seals, a prominent young Baptist evangelist of Au gusta spent last week the guest of the family of Mr. J. F. Duncan, and while in the community preached at Antioch Baptist church. His sermon was pronounced by all who heard it a most able effort.
