The Young Woman’s Auxiliary of the
First Baptist church celebrated the
sixth anniversary of its organization
Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs.
E. R. Barrett, on Spring street. A
well-chosen literary programme was
carried out, an interesting feature be
ing a history of the achievements of the
society, read by Miss Claire Holmes.
A number of rocal and piano selections
were rendered By several of the young
ladies present, and afterwards a social
hour was enjoyed. The decorations of
the house were in the society colors,
white and apple green. Potted plants
and white hyacinths were used in the
dining-room. Streamers of green and
white ribbon were brought from the
chandelier to the corners of the table,
and a birthday cake bearing six candles
occupied the place of honor. The cake
was ornamented with a fluting of
green chiffon, and was embossed with
the letters, “Y. W. A.—1908-19 L4.” Af
terwards it was carefully packed and
sent to Miss Carolyn Milner, Mesdames
Paris and H. B. Hardaway, who are
studying mission work in Louisville,
Ky. Twenty-five young ladies were
present. The officers of the society,
who deserve so much credit for the
Bplendid enthusiasm and good work done,
are Mrs. B. C. Sanders, leader; Miss
Athagene Kersey, vice-president; Miss
Tommie Broadwater, secretary; Mrs.
H. E. Conley, treasurer; Mrs. T. B.

FICKLE FORTUNE
Romanes of a Discredited Gold and
Copper Mine.
When the gTeat mineral wealth of
this nation has been finally developed
a chronicler will write the “American
Arabian Nights of Mining." One of
the tales, all of which will be true, will
run somewhat us follows:
Once upon u time there was a poor
man of the name of Billy Harris, who
lived at Spokane, Wash. He was u
horseman, among other miscellaneous
activities, und had acquired a consid
erable block of stock In u certain Lerol
Mining company, having taken most of
It in payment from those who owed
him money and who had no other ns-
sets more tangible. This stock had
kicked about without a sponsor for
two years and was nominally quoted at
around 10 cents a share.
One day a friend came along with a
handsome stallion, und Billy looked up
on the animal with covetous eyes. Dick
ering began and ended by his paying
over $5,000 of the stock for the stallion.
The seller, on sober reflection, became
dissatisfied with his bargain and
brought suit to recover the horse. He
won. and Billy, with a sigh, took back
his stock and bade the animal a fond
farewell.
Eighteen months later Billy sold the
Baroe stock for $250,000 and the re
mainder of his holdings for as much
again. The Lerol mine was taken over
by Whitaker Wright and an English
syndicate and produced $40,000,000 in
gold and copper. It is not on record
what the original owner of the stallion
said or thought—and perhaps It Is Just
as well.—Wall Street Journal.
Example of Britiih Humor.
The late Lord Salisbury had a pretty
wit At the beginning of the South
African war both his private secre
taries volunteered, and they were fol
lowed. suys the London Express, by
the Duke of Norfolk, who asked to be
allowed to resign his post of postmas
ter general and go to the front “I
suppose you may." said Lord Salis
bury, “but I do hope Cross won’t want
to go.” Lord Cross was then lord
privy seal and was nearly eighty!
They Learn Early.
Bessie was sitting on the hotel ver
anda one afternoon when another
child, gaudily dressed, began to parade
np and down before her. flirting her
fan and swishing her skirts airily.
Bessie stood It ns long as she could,
but finally burst out:
“Dresses an' fans does not make
ladles."
“But they helps." the other flung
back over her shoulder as she saun
tered away.—Delineator.

“Do you like your new mamma, Har
ry?”
“Yes; I like her awful much.”
“That Is nice. Do you like her be
cause she Is pretty?”
“No. I like her ’cause I broke her
nicest vase yesterday and she blamed
It on the maid.”—Judge.

“What can I bring you today, sir?"
“I hardly know. The doctor says I

WHEN CARUSO SINGS.
Tha Scene In Hit Dreeiing Room Be
fore the Opera Begine-
Tbo opern was "Alibi." Caruso was
to sing Uhndnmcs, and be was In tho
dressing room. In his train came Ids
two valets. Wonderful Indeed were
they. Celerity and deftness raised to
the nth power, with silencers on their
feet, they passed and repnssed each
other In Inconceivably small spaces
without once touching each other or
bumping into their lord nnd mnster.
Caruso sits before a stationary wash-
stand, and one of tbe valets hands him
a toothbrush nnd powder. Then for
threo solid minutes by his SwIbb move
ment watch does Caruso cleanse and
scrub and polish. The ever alert dress
ers stand behind him. watchful for a
shrug of his shoulders, which they Im
mediately Interpret Into a command.
Caruso takes a long breath, nnd he
needs 1L It must be n signal, for one
of the valets lias a glass of warm wa
ter In one band and in the other a big,
round pasteboard box full of little
brownish crystals. Caruso takes a
handful of the crystals and drops them
Into the warm water, where they dis
solve Immediately.
“That's gargling salt" he says. “I
use It for my first gargle."
The gargle takes four minutes,: and
then comes tbe vaporizer. A glnss of
water containing bicarbonate of soda
and glycerin is placed on a little stand.
A rubber hose connected with the va
porizer is put into the glass, and a
thin, forceful sputtering spray shoots
out a full foot Into this tiny Gatling
gun spray Caruso plunges, mouth open.
Then the heavy artillery answers the
little Gatling gun. for Caruso coughs
back at the Bpray. chokes, bellows and
sputters. Into each nostril, then deep
down into the throat, go tbe bicarbo
nate of soda and glycerin over and
over and over again until Caruao
coughs no more.
The vaporiser bath baa taken eight
minutes by Caruso's infallible watch,
but tbe end Is not yet There la a cold
water gargle—sterilized water, pleas*
—minus tbe salt, to follow and that in
torn by u spray for the noee only.
Only about six sniffs apiece tor each
nostril and the Bpray is put away.
Then menthol and vaseline on ab
sorbent cotton attached to long sticks
and Caruso swabs out his throat with
these as a gunner would a cannon.
“Dilates the throat." he says bo-
tween gasps. One more gargle of cold
water and the homage to the throat Is
finished. It has taken twenty-two min
utes.
On goes his bathrobe, and be Is In
the corridor—smoking a cigarette!
Twenty-two minutes of hard work he
has given to that throat, nnd now he
is calmly smoking n cigarette and In
haling every blessed puff of it. Shades
of bicarbonate of soda, of gargling
salt, of glycerin nnd of menthol, of
what avail are you when a nervous
man wants a cigarette and wants it
now?—Charles Bloomingdale, Jr., In
Saturday Evening Tost
Shortest Charge to Jury.
If brevity is the soul of wit. Judge
Taylor, Iv. C.. has not many rivals
among ills judicial brethren. Summing
up a case which lasted several hours,
says tbe Liverpool Post, he said no
more than this: "Gentlemen, you have
henrd both sides. It is for you to say
which you believe.’\ Even this does
not represent J udge Taylor’s best effort
in the way of saving his breath. A
few years ago he delivered himself of
what is supposed to be the shortest'
summing up on record. He turned to
the Jury, raised his eyebrows inquir
ingly, and remarked: “Well, gentle
men?" The art of brevity could no
further go.
Noises and Cancer.
Muffle all unnecessary noise, brilliant
lighting, disagreeable odors and touch
not Last and most important eat and
drink no poison, even though it should
savor of the nectar and nmbrosla of
Olympus. With the revivifying of the
seusory nerves nil the rest wilt sail
in and become strong again. And then
we may expect to find eyeglasses, eur
trumpets and all such aids cast upon
the trash heap. There will be nothing
to cause irritation, and so we shall
have no cancer.—Dr. J. A. Guthrie In
Medical Journal.
Food Habits.
“Pood habits have queer boundaries. 1
commented ex-Assemblyman Charles
Sutherland at luncheon. “In Massa
chusetts peaple eat baked beans Satur
day night, but not west of Worcester.
Along the Connecticut shore an oyster
stew Is the regular Sunday morning
breakfast dish. In Vermont they eat
pie for breakfast—always apple pie.
The scrapple habit is found only with
in fifty miles of Philadelphia.—New
York World.
Nock Shaving an Old Custom.
A study of the many necks to be
seen on the walls of the National Por
trait gallery enables one to state that
the custom of neck shaving, although
said to have been Imported from Amer
ica, was undoubtedly known and most
likely popular in the days of Agincourt.
The portrait of Henry V. shows quite
clearly that his neck was shaved, and,
if the king did It. It must have been
fashionable.—London Cor. New York
Sun.
An Absorbing Cass.
"Old Soak says he never drank until
after be was operated on for appendi
citis."
"His must be one of those peculiar
cooes where the doctors sewed up a
sponge in the Interior of their patient"

BREAKINGJCE BARRIERS.
Dynamite and Little Tugs Lead the
Assault on the Great Lakes.
Up on our great lakes winter holds
those waters In a stiffened grip for
several months, substantially putting
nil end to well nigh all truffle, but even
so. It Is the mission of certain of the
big car ferry steamers to maintain
something of an approximate schedule.
However, every now and Vlien the
gathering Ice packs catch and hold
them despite the best the steamers can
do. und It is only by using dynamite
that they then succeed In breaking
through these frigid barriers. Occa
sionally It Is a veritable battle be
tween titanic forces, and It takes cour-
nge for officers and crew to maintain
tbe struggle. Success Is not always
the fruit of these strenuous efforts,
because It Is still fresh In the minds
of many how gallant Captain McLeod
and thirty others perished aboard the
Marquette when that ship foundered
In December. 1909.
What strikes one most forcibly, If he
hns seen winter conditions upon the
great lakes. Is the manner In which
little tugs are used to break a passage
clear for large steamers when their big
kin are quite Incapable of working
their own way through the Ice. not
withstanding their greater bulk nnd
far more powerful engines. The secret
lies In the fart that tho tugs are able
to roll about after poking their noses
Into tbe fine, and In this manner they
attack the Ice in a direction where It
Is least capable of offering effective
resistance. Instead of assaulting the
Ice edge on where It Is supported by
hundreds of yards—If not. Indeed, by
several miles of solid pack—tho sninll
craft, bear down upon n thickness of so
many inches, and by sheer weight nnd
the rapid shifting of this by a rocking
motion, they force It asunder.
The big steamers u|>on the great
lakes, especially the large car ferries,
could do this very thing for themselves,
and do It upon n greater scale, If they
could be given tbe needful rolling mo
tlon. but the difficulty lies In finding
a way to effect this.—Technical "World

Retired Georgia Planter's
Advice to Kidney Sufferers
Regarding tho wonderful curative
merits of your Swamp-Root, I cannot
say too much. After suffering severely
for three years or more with severe
pains caused by weak kidneys, I was
finally induced to try Swamp-Root
through a testimonial I read in the news
papers. I was in such a condition that
I was obliged to arise six or eight timeB
every night. I purchased a fifty-cent
bottle and before it was used I felt so
much relief that I bought a one-dollar
bottle, and by the time this was taken
the old pain had left my back and I
could sleep the whole night through. I
am a retired planter, 70 years of age,
and owing to Dr Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
I am in the best of health and feel like
a boy. I am always glad to recommend
Swamp-Root to those who are in need
of it. Sincerely yours,
C. E. USSERY
