does. She feels it and as moods
and feelings change oftener than
logical reasonings the difference is
readily apparent. We do net take
the ground that a woman is
of reasoning and that the
use of logic is unknown to her.
Far from it. We are conscious
that this would be throwing down
the gauntlet, defiantly, at the feet
of those who are capable of entire-
demolishing all the logic ever
learned by the wisest ; and, too,
because we know some of them
can reason. But we speak in gen-
terms and fear no

And it is well known that those
traits of her make-up are never
more strikingly illustrated than
they are when marriage is
ed. It has been said one never
knows exactly how this issue will
be decided. A man may know a
young lady for years ; he may have
received from her decisive
of regard that he translates
as love for himself ; his company
may always have seemed to him
acceptable to her, and yet, if he
asks her to mate with him, to
his partner for life, he is general-
apt to get a sudden revelation
that is surprising to both . sides.
Was any woman ever proposed to

one else is that
he proposes to her. No other
man that is aware of the dream-
stance is in fact, but she always
is.
The fearful uncertainty of what
a woman will say when her hand
is sought for in marriage makes
the ordeal a most difficult
. It seems that the roost
natural and easy thing for a man
to do, when he loves a woman, is
to tell her so. Not so, however.
To ask a woman to marry you
when you do not wish to marry
her is easily done, but to ask the
right is the hardest
performance. For the
age refusal always imperils. There
are men who would rather have
been with those who held the pass
at than to march up
and ask a woman to marry
Many and mysterious are the ways
in which men try to spell out the
secrets of their adored one's heart,
but they can only know by
lute trial, by putting the fated
question point-blank. There is
absolutely no preparation that
leads to this. Putting the
is like jumping a wide chasm
you are not certain that you will
land in safety on the other side.
If it fails, the curious and
will be to leave mat-
worse than they previously
were. The young lady, premising
to be your still, is less a
friend before, because she
actually retreats, to some extent,
from the intimacy and friendship
that were before so graciously
tended and accepted. She grows
shy of you, and feels it
to step backward in order to check
a possible new advance.
It seems as if women, even
when the man of their choice
pears, wish to make the capture of
themselves difficult. Whether
they rejoice in this momentary
power, or expect to be prized more
highly ever after for exercising it,
or both, it is a practice and a
they almost invariably adopt.
A woman sometimes loses the very
lover she covets by tripping him
up once ; for the very best man is
often the one that will never put
himself in the way of a second re-
from the loveliest object. At
the same time one less sensitive

and after a triple discomfiture in
succession, will out do the rule,

Since Col. Harry Skinner was
suggested, a few weeks ago by a
correspondent of the News and
Observer, as Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Commit-
tee of the State, we have seen
numerous endorsements of the
suggestion in our exchanges,
many of them referring to his
ability to fill the position in no
uncertain words. The Elizabeth

The Marriage Refusal.
It deems a little strange

by one who has never yet

is good so far as it is true. And if
theories are proven to be

they have not learned the ways of
society. They have not learned
to put on her veil and drop into
marriage in a natural and easy
manner that is refreshing as the
dews of Bummer to a parched laud.
If they once wait till they have
reached the age of twenty-five
years and have had any real taste
of society experience, they become
hardened, set themselves up as
critics and are hard to please.
The woman of experience is a
great stickler for the mere
of etiquette and convention-
She would not have it
known for the world that she had
made an step towards
matrimony and led the on in
the slightest possible manner.
Some women never do, from a fear
of what Mrs. would say or
from natural timidity as the case
may be. When a has re-
ah offer of marriage the
first thing she does is to consult
her mind and see if she can re-

lead the man up to the proposing
point. If she has ever done a
pleasant thing for him, pinned a
bouquet on his made

him at times, it all comes
back to her in this torturous self-
examination. What if some one
should think she had tried to cap-

if she accepts him, he will despise

was a victim of typhoid fever,
having been taken with that dis-

His remains were interred Friday

Deceased was a member of the

News Observer.
He of in Ire-
dell county, to have a cotton
factory. The citizens of that town
have gone to work and, with the
assistance of State immigration
Agent J. T. Patrick, have secured
it. Some time since Mr. Patrick
originated and adopted a plan by
which any or city in the
State can easily secure any kind
of a factory it may want, and the
real live towns are taking
of it The plan has
published before. It is about as
follows .
Mr Patrick is in almost daily
correspondence with factory men
and capitalists who desire to come
to this State to make in vestments;
but the capitalists want
some encouragement and evidence
of good will. Mr. Patrick's plan
determine by inquiry what
kind of factory would be most
profitable in a certain place, if the
citizens want the factory and if so
how much they want it. He has
had prepared blank forms for this
purpose which may be explained
as follows It has been
a good location
for a cotton factory. The citizens
of--------have declared they would
like a factory in their town, but
they do not wish to invest large
amounts in one know
about the business ; but some
are willing to make donations in
order that the factory may be es-
in the town. The form
sets forth that the citizens of such
town will give one half acre of
land for the site of the factory
and will also give certain amounts
in money each, ranging from
to any amount. They subscribe
their names and write the
amounts they propose to give.
This list is returned to Mr. Pat-
rick, who submits it to some com-
seeking investments, and
points out the inducements offer-
ed by the town of Of
course cotton factories would not
be paying institutions in every
place, but a different kind of
might be badly needed in
some town, a canning factory in
another, a spoke and handle facto-
in another, an iron foundry in
another, and so on. For every in-
of this and many other
kinds, competent men are seeking
locations. With the lists which
Mr. Patrick proposes to up,
he can show any bod v a desirable
field for any manufacturing enter
prise and show just what, kind of
a reception and how much
will be given to the en-
He is always in
with parties who desire
such information and who will act
on obtaining it.
One of these blanks was sent to
the town Mooresville, and the

to the bountiful Giver of all we enjoy.
The flowers we lay upon tho graves of
soldiers and lost ones are not sweeter than
the thanks offer today. Some, indeed,
may not give articulate sound to their
thanks, but it is safe to say that in all
this broad land there is not one person
whose heart, whither it is weighed down
by sorrow or light with joy, does not send
at least one grateful thought toward the
source of all good, though perhaps they
are hardly conscious it.
Gratitude for favors given is a and

store; and with He testing tin. thanks-

Bottles took the purse in his hands. As
he felt t he magic touch of its contents
through the silken meshes it drove all
thought of cold or hunger away.
In the purse was more money than
either had ever touched. In it
was warmth and victuals, though Bottles
gave no thought to either, so overjoyed
was he in the possession of the precious
money, real gold and silver, for he could
tell that by its clinking.
The two waifs finally, cold and tired,
reached the tumble down structure in
South street, where they lodged. They
climbed up the rickety stairways, passed
through the narrow, dark and ill smelling
halls until they reached the attic door,
upon which Bottles tapped softly.
A small circular disk in one of the
upper panels slid back, and a thin, beak

the old woman still asleep.

so as to be as free as possible from
the hungry crowd which thronged the
place. The faces were washed
clean; they were as tidy as their
dated garments would permit.
A new yellow ribbon held Rag's curls
back from her really pretty face, with its
roguish, big, blue eyes, cute little mouth
and turn up nose. And Bottles, he had
laid out a portion of the wealth on a paper
collar, green tie and huge, glaring, red

contained was upon Rag's forefinger.

had brought a few household relics from
their homes, and these were set
to do honor to the day of rejoicing.
The dinner over, the pilgrims turned to
the homes they had left. As the day
closed and darkness came creeping In
from the pine woods around Plymouth,
the settlers trod once more, in fancy, the
green lanes of England or the busy streets
of Leyden. They sang the psalms and
songs that had been sung around their
English firesides, and mingled memories

a challenge from one of the guard. A

pouring into the village with shouts and
cries. But there was no occasion for

Bradford proclaimed a solemn
feast, and ordered that preparations
should be made for celebrating it with
such festivities as were in their power.
Four men were dispatched into the woods
to shoot wild fowl, and though the game
had been scanty throughout the summer,

staggering under their burden of turkeys,

There was rare labor done by the good

Funniest thing that ever happened
on the As I was coming in
on the last section of I having the
rear end, I went up ahead to speak to the
conductor, who was on the engine. It
was as dark as a stack of black cats before
the moon rose. As I was going back I
slipped on a broken foot board right at the
end of one of those infernal refrigerator
cars, and fell. I couldn't see a hand be-
fore me, but I knew I was going down. I
clutched for the hand rail, but failed to
reach it, lost my balance, and went down
between the ears, breaking my fall by a
one hand grasp on the brake rod. I
knew what that meant It came over mo
like a flash. It was death, I knew it.
My first thought was of my wife and
what a dinner
they would have with the turkey the
superintendent had sent us, and me
in the little front room all cold. I
can't tell you all I thought in that second,
and I wouldn't if I could. It was awful.
I can remember striking the ground.
I struck on my feet, my efforts to
grasp the hand rail and my half
grip on the brake rod having started
my feet down first. The horror of that
shock. Quicker than you can wink the
thought ran through my brain that in the
next instant I would lie crushed by the
wheels of the cars behind me. But I
wasn't. I fell headlong on the ground and
rolled over and over, bruised and stunned,
but conscious. I couldn't realize why the
other cars didn't run over me. I waited for
them, second by second. It seemed hours.
Soon I roused, scrambled to my feet,
found that there were no cars after me. The
train had broken in two and I had fallen
off the rear end. One of my arms was
terribly sprained, also my left ankle, and
I was bruised a good deal, but I could
walk. There was my lantern by me.
Just then I remembered that the through
express was following our section,
and that there was one on the ca-
to flag it. I hobbled, almost
crawled, back about three-quarters of a
mile found our missing cars standing
