As I went down the street today I saw a little lad Whose face was just the kind of face To make a person glad. I saw him busily at work. While blithe as blackbird's song Mis merry, mellow whistle rang The pleasant street along. Just then a playmate came along And leaned across the gate. A plan that promised lots of fun And frolic to relate. “The boys are waiting for us now. So hurry up.” he cried. Aly little whistler shook his head, And ‘'Can't come,” he replied. “Can't come? Why not. Id like to know? What hinders?” asked the other. **Why. don't you see?” came the reply, “I’m busy helping mother. She's lots to do. and so I Ilka To help her all I can: So I've no time for fun just new," Said this dear little man. “I like to hear you talk like that,” I told the little lad; “Help mother all you can. and make Iler kind heart light and glad.” It does me good to think of him And know that there are others Who, like this manly little boy. Take hold and help their mothers, FATE OF A PHOTOGRAPHER. OR THE STORY OF A PICTURE. Mlizaboth May got back to college Fri day morning inst •. ! of Saturday She usually had to waif a day and half a right at Spartanburg for the Columbia train, but by an accident the one of the day before was hours late and she ■was enabled to make, close connection end reach her destination twenty-four [hours earlier titan she had expected. "I'll unpack today.” she said, "hang my pictures and be out of the way to morrow for Caroline to fix up her treas ures.” Accordingly she went to work, and Sat •t rday morning found all her belongings neatly arranged and she on her way to spend the day with an old classmate who lived In town. Tiiat evening when she came back she f. ;.".d Caroline putting the finishing touches to her dressing table. "Oh. you darling!" camo synchronously from ca.’h. young lad'. , who fouii i .herself entwined with the others' arms. Then a conversation followed natural with chums. When all the specials had been discussed Caroline swept her eyes around the walls and they stopped on a pretty black and gold frame. "Where did you get that, I Az? and what's its story? You know your pic tures always have stories." "Yes, it has a story'," said JAz. And she took a box of candy from the top bureau drawer, set it on the lounge be tween them, shook up tho pillows and began. "Sylva—that is the name of the place where I got that picture- is a little vil lage situated in a. basin high up in the mountains of western North Carolina, not a groat way from Biltmore palace.

Mary came, in just then and we had some taken. On the way' home 1 told Mary the sad story of Mr. Gallagher's life. She was interested and said that wo would get him some work. All the summer vis itors that we knew we sent down to Dillsboro to have their pictures taken. Often we would take two or three down in our own cart lago. As a result tho little man had a rush of business. Ono day ho told me that he wvuld stay a long time when he w>■: t to his mine again. Door fellow! He little knew how long that would be.

As'omshlne Oller, -i" (l"3 I.’ SEARS, ROEBUCK & CO., which is cultivated in hot climates. This shrub is from 15 to 20 feet in height, the leaves are 4 or 5 Inches long and 2 broad, smooth, green, glossy on the upper sur face and the flowers which grow in bunches at the base of the leaves are white and sweet scented. The berries are somewhat of an oval shape, about the size of a cherry and of a dark red color when ripe. Each of these contains two cells and each cell a single seed, which is the coffee as wc see it before it is roasted. Its use appears to have origin ated in Ethiopia and is stated to have been first introduced into Constantino ple in 1554 from whence It was gradually adopted In western parts of Europe. Great attention is paid to the culture of coffee in Arabia. The trees are raised from seed sown in nurseries and after wards put out In moist shady situations on sloping grounds at the foot of moun tains. Little rills of water are kept at the roots of the trees until the fruit is nearly ripe, then tho water is turned off. When the berries are ripe the natives shake them down on sheets, then put them on mats in the sun to dry; when dry' the husk is taken off. then dried again and lastly winnowed, which cleans it. from the pieces of husk. A pound of coffee is generally' more than the produce of ono tree, but a tree In great vigor will produce three to four pounds. The best coffee is Imported from Mocha, on the Red sea. Mocha and Turkey' coffee is of a better quality than any which the European colonists are able to raise, as it Is supposed owing to the difference of climate and soil in which it grows. I hope Aunt Susie’s eyes are improving. Elizabeth Cunningham, Talbotton, Ga.. R. F. D.

Dear Junior: M; subject is "The Mis takes Ot Lite.” Would not this be a world of bliss were It not for so many mistakes being made, both pardonable and unpardonable? It unquestionably i would be a blissful placo of abode, if we made no mistakes to create discord. But the grand mistakes of life are made by all—both the Christian and sinner. Hie former r i' <-nilng himself with God • m.I man, th. r. lore forgetting his mis t 10., while the latter is willing to re main untorglve.n. so lus next mistake made Is still sadder, and so it goes.

Moorefield, Ark -Dear junior: I will take for my subject tho "Bold Eagle,” the emblem of our coun try. It is found in suitable localities throughout the Vnited States, though it is more common near large bodies ot water than elsewhere. Its favorite food is fish, and where they can be obtained either by capture or in the shape of olfal it will touch little else. A consid erable proportion of the fish secured are taken from the osprey or fish-hawk; still the eagl' is fully capable of fishing for itself when m i esstty demands. Where fish are sear. e or for any reason hard j to procure, it will feed on water fowls from the size ~f large swans down to the smaller ii:i a.s and coots. Like the golden eagle, it preys on many of the destructive rodents in the west, and is there considei ',l a beneficial bird. t'n fortunately, it is fond of lambs, pigs, ind poultry, and probably does as much damage as th.' golden eagle in the more thi.kly inhabited regions. A groat deal of sensatlonaj matter has appeared from time to time in various newspapers about eagles attacking and carrying off chil- dren. Few of these stories have any foundation in truth, though in olden times, when eagles had less tear of man, they may have picked up an unguarded infant. Correspondence solicited, either sex. Grafton Spargue, Long Shoals, N. C.—• Dear Junior: My papa owns a roller mill in Waco, N. C., and I live with my grandpa on the farm.

We caught eighty-flve one time. Do any of you little Juniors like fishing? Do you like to go to school? I am very fond of going. Our school closed February 28. We had an exhibition at the close and had a nice time. Wc only' have a four-month school. How many of the Juniors are in favor of a compulsory school law throughout the United States? I think there could be nothing better than for our legislature to pass a law to (lus effect. Best wishes to Aunt Susie and the Junior. Ella Bell, Roughton.

C Dear Junior: I live among the beautiful mountains of western North Carolina. Our nearest railroad station is 21 miles. I will tell you all of a. visit a merry crowd of boys and girls took last November to YVhitcsido mountain. YVe rode to the foot of the mountain, where we alighted and ate our lunch. We then proceeded to climb the mountain. After many slips and falls we reached the summit. Then we began the descent on the side to where the "Devil’s Court House” was. which we found to be a very beautiful but dangerous place. After viewing the beautiful scenery we returned homo very' much fatigued, hut very happy for hav ing been permitted to enjoy the beautiful scenery, which can never vanish from our minds. There is a small brook near our house, which comes gliding along glistening in the sunlight like ever so many' diamonds, which contains many speckled trout.. Sometimes I go fishing and often catch many. I have throe brothers and throe sisters. Past wishes tn all. Correspondence solicited, from 16 to 20 years. Perkins Cheney. Troop AT Third Cav alry. Fort.

Our page is improving very fast. 1 am attending a very good school and like to go very- much. I. am In the seventh grade. Books are my greatest pleasure. There is nothing I like better than reading good books. YVe have started a library in our school, which I think will be very interesting. YVe have also started one in our Sunday school. I think we will get it up before long. I am a farmer's daughter and live in tho country. The nearest railroad station is 18 miles. It. is very incon venient, so far from the railroad, but. 1 enjoy a free country life, where I can have plenty of pure air to breathe Spring is nearly here. The trees are shedding their old robes to put forth brighter ones. The birds will soon cheer us with their sweet songs. The lovely flowers are pre senting themselves with a fragrance, and we give, them a hearty welcome There is nothing better to charm the home than the lovely flowers They for a moment make us forget our trials and troubles and look on life as a beauty in stead of a duty.
