WHAT IS BEAUTY?
A young gentleman, describing
a young girl to some of his friends
said that she was beautiful. .They
naturally expected to see some
radiant creature with whom they
would be instantly charmed,
This, however, was not the case,
for they found the young girl ex
tremely plain, and a laugh wasin
dulged in at the young man’s ex
pense.
But in a very short time his
friends found that they had laugh
ed too soon. The young lady was
one of a large pleasure-party
which went off on a week’s outing;
and when the party returned,
there was not one among them
who did not think her beautiful.
It was she who had responded
most quickly to the requests of her
elders, rendering sweet service in
a charming way which can be
better understood by the delight
ed recipient than by any pen
picture, however vivid. It was
she who had run with gentle help
fulness to the rescue of every
troubled child, she who had given
up her seat to an older or a more
wearied person, with a tact not al
ways shown even by kindly dis
posed persons. In fact, she had
unostentatiously done the count
less Joving little acts which stamp
the doer as a follower of the “One
altogether lovely.”

PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION
The northern Presbyterian gen¬
eral assembly has adopted a reso¬
lution that fairly and squarely
favors prohibition. The resolu¬
tion was adopted by a very large
majority, and it no doubt express¬
es the overwhelming sentiment
the Presbyterian church,
Those who opposed it do not
favor the liquor traffic. They are
ready to do all they can for the
cause of temperance, but they are
convinced that the cause can be
advanced much more effectually
by means of high license than by
prohibition. They are ready to
admit that prohibition answers
very well in the rural districts,
where it can be enforced, because
public sentiment is in favor of it,
but they deny that it is a good
thing in the cities. They argue
that in the cities, where public
sentiment is against it, the effect
of it is to drive liquor 4 into secret
places, and that when sold surrep¬
titiously, it is a greater evil than
when sold openly.
There is no doubt a great deal
of truth in what the advocates of
high license say. They do not
speak theoretically, but from ex¬
perience. The reports that have
been received lately from Kansas
contain a great deal to sustain
them. It seems that while in the
rural districts of Kansas drunken¬
ness has almost entirely disap¬
peared, such is not the case in the
cities. Indeed, it is asserted that
in Atchison, Wichita and other
cities of Kansas the liquor evil is
greater than before prohibition
was adopted. It has been found
impossible to prohibit the sale of
intoxicants because the prevailing
sentiment is in favor of tlieir sale.
The authorities obey public sen¬
timent rather than the law. Tho
large vote by which prohibition
was adopted by the general as¬
sembly, however, indicates that
prohibition is steadily gaining
ground.
The excess of imports over ex¬
ports of merchandise for the year

What became of the extra $40,000,

our tourists spent that much?

Van’s Creek church is the oldest

once walked all the way from
North Carolina to be baptised by
him. Yarn's Creek church still
stands near Ruckersville.
The country has voted that the
higher the taxes are the more con¬
tented and prosperous are the peo¬
ple. The motto of the high tariff
men, who are to rule the roost for
a few years, is: “Tax everything
the poor man needs, encourage
capital to combine until monopo¬
lies kill competition and cut down
the wages of labor to the starva¬
tion point. Then you have the
highest type of human brother¬
hood and the best results of mod¬
ern civilization.”
