In Memory of Pat Merrell-
Thou art gone and gone forever.
Oh how sad how sad the thought
That never more we’ll see him.
Oh’tis with such melancholly fraught.
We'll wait no more his Christmas coming,
Coming home to spend a day ;
His manly form lies sweetly sleeping,
Sleeping in the cold cold clay.
It Is hard to understand it,
Hard to know the ways of (iod,
For He moves in mystery often,
And 1-lis wonders velld in cloud;
Why He takes our precious treasurers,
Why lie took our manly son ;
Ah these questions hard to answer,
Rut none knoweth, no notone.
But we’re told that Jesus loves us,
That He chastens those He loves,
That our trials and tribulations
Fit us for a home above.
And in the Christians’ home of Glory,
In God’s eternal heavenly plain,
Pat will give us cordial welcome,
As we happily meet again.
It behooves us not to murmur.
Nor to sulk beneath our load;
Jesus tells us roll your burden,
Roll it quickly on the Lord.
He will give you peace and comfort,
Happiness, joy and love;
And our loved ones we will meet them
i ii Goa’s paradise above.

Paying Him Out.
A bov vent invo n Tmkor’s shop
for a threepenny loaf. Thinking
that the loaf was rather small, he
remarked to the baker, smiling:
“You have not weighed it.”
“Oh, you never mind that,” said
the baker. “It won’t he so heavy
to carry.”
“All right,” said the hoy, putting
twopence halfpenny on the counter
and walking to the door.
The baker called after him:
“Here, hoy! I want another
halfpenny.”
“Never mind that,” said the hoy.
“It will he less for you to count.”—

Fruitless Effort.
A certain venerable citizen of a
Pennsylvania city entertains no
•high esteem of his eldest daughter’s
musical abilities.
There being a guest one evening,
the old gentleman was, to his dis
gust, compelled to spend an entire
evening in the “parlor,” while his
daughter accomplished her whole
repertory for the edification of the
stranger.
“Ah,” said the latter, turning to
the old man when one selection had
been achieved, “there are some
e#ngs that will never die!”
r “You're right,” growled the old
man. “My daughter puts in a good
deal of hey time trying to kill ’em,
Irit unavailingly, sir, unavailingly!”

Nature makes the cures

Now and then she gets

Things get started in

Something is needed to

Toanksgiving and the Orphans
Id view of the fact that
Thanksgiving day or the Sunday
following, is the only church
collection, recommended by the
Synods of South Carolina, Geor
gia and Florida to be taken up
for their orphans. The following
items in regard to the Thorn'
well Orphanage, which is owned
by the three synods aforesaid,
may be of interest to the readers
of this paper.
The Thornwell Home and
School for orphans was louuded
in 1875, opening its doors to
eight fatherless children. It had
one small cottage. This one
building has increased to sixteen
two shortly to be completed)
and each cottage will give a
home to twenty pupils, more or
less. In 1885, the school was so
graded as to cover fourteen
years, and in 1792 a Technical
department was added, so that
the boys might be taught some
useful trade. Up to that date,
farming was the only business
taught. This education is given
entirely free to deserving or
phans of any denomination and
from any part of our country.
Ne ar a |th cusand youths have
been under its influencs and
and enjoyed its training. The
provision for the support, educa
tion and other expenses of these
children, (265 now with us) is
derived lrom personal donations
of interested persons, or from
church and Sunday school c.ob
lections.
The Thornwell Orphanage is
located in Clinton, So. Ca , at
the crossing of the Seaboard Air
Line and Atlantic Coast Line
Railways. It is uuder Presbyter
ian influence aou control but
does not refuse aid to any on
accouut of religious differences,
No surrender of children to its
guardiadship is required ol
relatives. Pupils may leave at
their own choice if they do not
-visit to remain. Children are not
given out to service.
Modern Age Dresfes Close
To The Limit
Now York Press.
The tact that America at last
feels herself capable of setting
her own fashion, and that Ameri-
can women are beginning to see
the absurdity of adopting the
whimsical.vagaries of Paris, with
out regard to utility or becom
ingness, is a matter for congrat
ulation. But there is still great
room for improvement, one is
lorced to admit, and a mere man
cau but wonder when he sees
grotesque pompadour give way
to more grotesque puffs and
chignons, and peach basket hats
go out and modern age dresses
come in. There have been new
lashions to the fore during this
era, the |absurdities of which
seem to increase instead of dim
inish with every passing day, as
much as to be deplored as the
modern age style of gown. The
peach basket hats were ugly
enough acd the directoire gowns
lacked beauty—but the modern
age dresses lack—one is almost
forced to say—decency—but
the pen hesitates to write such a
word in connection with a
woman’s dress,
There seems to be something
contagious where style is con
cerned, and few women are
immune. A woman may be
heard to say, in regard to the
latest monstrosities in headgear
or the hideous modes with the
hallmark of Parisian approval:
‘Aren’t they awful? And I look
like a lrighi in ’em. But they’re
all the style!” And forthwith
she proceeds to adopt the freak
ish fashion, without legard to its
becomingness or appropriateness
Generally the absurdity is harm
less, it ugly, and man laughs
and knows her sweet and beauti-
tul, be her garb ever so ridicu
lous.
But the modern age dress—
words are too futile and inadei
quate !

i Love Mv Dead Beat, But Oh,
You Telephone Bum.
Telephone companies since
the advent of talking over wires
have made use ot the slogan,
“DONT GO, Just telephone,’’
but this was never addressed to
the telephone bum. It was an
appeal to the public to become
pairoDs of the service and to use
' the long distance line to “save
time, trouble and expense.’’
A telephone bum is not one
who makes use of the telephone
in a house where he is a guest
nor the one who occasionally
uses a convenient telephone to
call up a subscriber when the
call is of a nature of interest to
that subscriber. The “telephone
bum” is the lellow who realizes
that the telephone does save him
“time, trouble and expense’’ and
makes a daily business of wor.
rying his neighbor by using his
telephone for his personal busi
ness, thereby imposing on the
subscriber who pa) s for the tele
phone and working a hardship
on the telephone company by
imposing extra expense lor labor
wear and tear.
Telephone service is not a
tree for all like a public drink
ing fountain but is a public
service operated by individuals
for revenue and without revenue
there could be no service. Every
additional call over a telephone
and through a switchboard costs
a certain amount lor wear and
leir, time of operator and exhaus
tion of the telephone batteries,
This in a year’s time will ruu up
to an immense amount.
Yon have no more right to
borrow a neighbor’s telephone,
call up a lady who is busy with
her housework, ask her to go
down the street for some one to
the telephone, than you have to
take a neighbor's horse, swipe
a buggy from the livery stable
and “drive up on a chance ac
quaintance and ask her to cook
your dinner. It’s ail the same
thing. Just said a little different.
If you need telephone service
and are a well meaning fellow
)OU w'll certainly be willing to
pay for it. “Dont go, just tele
phone” may be all right for the
ones who help pay the burdens
and expenses, but to the “Tele
phone Bum” we have only to
advertise—“DON’T TELE
PHONE, JUST GO.”
