In buying lemons, select those having a thin, dry rind—these are cheaper and are much juicier than the fresh, plump ones. live Snail’s lesson. Freddy sat on the wall in the gtrden with a book in his hand, at which he was looking with a very sad face. “I’m sure I shall never loam it’’ he cried in tones of de- exor. The master had given all the boyß a holiday task, and Freddy Scott had let the time slip past without touching a bcok, until only a week was left and he had his long poem to learn by heart. Like most boys, he wished to got the prize, but did not like the labor of working for it. Father an idle boy was Master Freddy; in fact, he had got it into his head that he was not as clever as other boys, and that was not much use to try. He was thinking that very thing just now, when his eye fell upon a snail crawling up the lottom of the wall on which he sat. “Surely,*' thought he, “that silly thing is not going to try to get to the top at that pace.” Yet slowly, as he watched it, very slowly, the snail came nearer and nearer, until at length the summit was reached and, as if in triumph the oIJ snail rear* and it i If ur and waved its horns, until Freddy laughed outright. Then the thought flashed upon him: Suppose the snail had said what he had, “It is no use trying! ' he would never have reached the top of the wall, that was certain. “1 won’t U' beaten by a snail!” fried he; god he s* t to w ik in downright earnest, and by the time the h 'lTay- came to an end h<* km vv liis pocin hy Leait, arid could r< cite it without a mistake Frize-day came, arid the hoys listened eagerly for the prize-boy’s name. Freddy’s surprize can hardly be imagined when h( heard his own name called out; but there was no mistake about it, he had won the prize. When Mr. Frnz< r, the master, hamhd him the hadeome vol ume, he patted him on the head, saying kindly — “Well done, Scott! I am very glad you have gained a prize; but how was it you did so well? Did you expect it?” “Fir,” said Freddy, looking up with beaming eyes, “it Mas all through the snail <>n the wall.” And to this dav Freddy thinks that snails are verv clever things indeed. —Child’s Hour. In Memory oi Infant of A. Y. Eevenson Whereas, it lias pleased our Heavenly Father to take from our brother his dearly beloved child in its infancy. God has seen tit. to remove from earth a bright flower and has trasplanted in a brighter world where it will shine as a bright jewel in the realm of heavenly bliss, and we would say to our brother in this sad hour of bereavement, be reconciled to the will of the Heav enly Fattier, who doeth all things for the best, though you may not realize it now. It seems so hard to have to part with our dear little ones, but remember that the Savior said “suffer little children to come unto me, and foibid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” So remember that when you are tempted and tossed about by trials and temptations of this world, that you have a tie that has gone on be fore you, and is watching and wait ing for you over on the other side of the. river of death, and is calling vou onward and upward to the Heavenly land, where there will be no more sad partings, but where all will be united in giving praise to the Redeemer who gave Himself a ransom for all. Be it Resolved first, That Winder Lodge, No. 81 I. 0. O. F., extend to Brother and family our deepest sympathy in this sad hour of bereavement. Resolved second, That a copy of these resolutions be given Brother Eavenson, and a copy be given the Winder Weekly News for publica tion and these resolutions be spread on the minutes of this lodge. Respectfully submitted, C. C. Gregory, H. J. Garrison, N- B. Lord, Committee. The Head of the Class. “This,” said a teacher to her class of small arithmeticians “is a unit.” She held up a pencil. This hook is a unit, too,” Said she. “And these are units.” And she showed them a ruler, a flower, and an apple. Then she peeled the apple, and holding up the peel, said, “Now children, what is this?” Silence. “Cume, you know what it is,’’ she urged. Little Bill’s hand went up slowly. “Well, William,” said the teach er. “Pleathe, raa’m, the skin of a unit.' ’ —Philadelphia Record. The Prohibition MTve. Rports reflecting accurately the present stage of the prohi bitit n movement in the South show that more than half the South’s territo ry is ‘‘dry” absolutely, and that in th* r< niaining ur*-a, list* and as “ wet, ’’ the sal*: of intoxicants is upon a restricted scale, says the Washing ton correspimdcnt to The New York World. It is evident that the cities ire the only remaining strongholds for the saloons. Georgia now holds the center of the stage, and for a year has been experimenting on a “near prohibi tion law,” which forbids the sale of liquors containing more than 4 per cent <f alcohol. State wide jrobibition laws became effective on January 1 in North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, in each of which a majority of the counties had heretofore prohibited the sale of liquor. Prohibition advocates in Lousiana have suspended their fight to test the new Gay-Shattnck law for the regulation of the liquor traffic, which became operative Jan uary 1. The anti-saloon people say .They will be content if this law is enforced rigidly. Tennessee is th* 1 elm f center of interest among the other states where jatato wide prohibition fights are in progress. The prohibition ists asserts that a -'late wide bill will pass the legislature, which they • .\p***-t to organize and con trol. With the backing of the state machinery the local option forces are equally confident that such a bill will meet defeat. Ken- tucky, th*' second largest distilling state in the Union, with 119 coun ties, has only four in which the sale of liquor is not prohibited. Vir ginia presents a string of victories for the anti-saloon element, as pro hibition now' exists in eighty of the state's *>ne hundred counties. In Texas, where more than half the counties have accepted prohi bition, the voters will soon lx: call ed upon to vote on a constitutional amendment providing for prohibi tion. In Arkansas two-thirds of the state’s area, or seventy-five counties, are “dry,” and the ques tion of state wide prohibition will Ix3 presented to the others for decis ion. Florida is partly “dry” through local option, and, as in most of the other states, the sale of liquor is principally confined to the cities. The results of prohibition gener ally are gleaned from reports show ing a great decrease in the record of arrests for drunkenness, an increase in the bank deposits of laborers, fewer cases of wife abandonment, and a decrease in criminality gen erally. The difficulty of enforcing the prohibition laws, however, is conceded to Ix3 one of the chief ob stacles to their absolute success in many states, and this phase of the question, together with a falling off in revenues, is to some extent dis couraging to the authorities.

When a girl begins to look sad and pensive and to live off pickles and preserves; when a boy takes to roaching his hair, pressing his trousers and shining his shoes, it is a sign that “love has come.” Nothing else will do it. Pa and Ma may storm and fret and may call it “puppy love,’’and sister may laugh; but the two parties involved know that it is love’s young dream, and they don’t want to be waked up. They know that they have re served seats on the big sofa, a stand ing engagement at the ice-cream stand and a mortgage on the moon light. Certainly, every girl is en titled to a sweetheart. And every boy is entitled to a girl Pa and Ma might as well make up their minds to it and adopt Danny Cupid as a member of the family. He’s A QUESTION OF NECESITV.
