pose of considering the

Planting Bald Heads.
Why should a man worry about
his hair or the lack of it Near-
every day I receive letters
from men or women asking for a
dandruff cure and a hair restorer.
The best dandruff cure is a bald
head The best hair restorer is
a native of Columbia, at the sec-
or third fall of the
River. He uses an awl, a mallet
and some spice gum. After
punching a hole in the scalp he
inserts a hair, which is plastered
around with the gum and
cultivated until it takes firm
root. His custom is to plant
three hairs a day. To plant
more would throw the hairless
one into convulsions. I knew a
man who was thirteen years get-
ting a new planting of hair.

It's Your Move.
Long years ago the wise old
bard told that is a game
of but it still remains for
the disappointed man of today
to find out for himself that the
trouble with his particular game
is that it Is while
he sits waiting for some one else
to make a play.
When things seem to have
gone wrong generally, and
is quite as it should be; when
the other man gets the pro-
motion; the other man makes
tho wise investment; the other
man, in short, annexes to him-
self tho desired things of life,
the trouble is that you forget
your part in the game while
watching him play his. You've
sat gaping at his brilliant moves,
and stupidly allowed your own
men to get cornered.
Wake up; take a hand; make a
skillful move; get so in earnest,
so absorbed in the old game of
winning, that compel others
to watch you.
your move now; make it

The August number of the

particularly, of course by the
people that live in Mr. Small's
district. We wish we-had space

what a splendid work He is do-
for the future development
and increased wealth of his sec-
of the country. The Na-
Magazine says part.

few measures that look well in-
to the future. Congressman
John Small, of North Caro-
has not only give
to the local interests of his
constituents and to general leg-
but his greatest; public
service has consisted in direct
public attention to the improve-
of the waterways of the
country. Beginning ii
when he first entered congress,
he began to concentrate of
his time upon this subject. He

his attention was directed to the
construction and improvement
of the chain of waterways from
Boston to Florida. But

which he considered of
importance. That was
when it gets one there. Had
Mr. Small been retired after
having served only two terms,
this waterways project would
lave languished and, most prob-
ably, fallen through entirely.
Frequent change of congressmen
from the districts chiefly inter-
in the subject would have
been fatal to it, or at least
would have greatly delayed

taken up the work where it was
left off by their predecessors and
carried it on so successfully, or
have aroused such great interest
in it among the people of the

Of course, Mr. Small's friends
do not claim for him credit for
all that has been done, but it
cannot be denied that his share
in it has been very large.

Kn Ohio farmer is solving the
problem of what to do with the
worn out-farm. He owns an old
homestead of sixty acres, which
he is desirous of keeping in the
family. He does not live on the
place, however, and farming has
been a losing proposition. He
has, therefore, decided to plant
the entire tract with trees. He
already planted Nor-
way spruce, set three and one-
half feet apart each way, on an
area of about eleven acres.
These trees will be cut. as they
become large enough, for Christ-
mas trees.
Chestnut seedlings will be
planted in the spaces left by the
removal of the spruce, and it is
that they will begin to
come in bearing when the last
spruce is cut In addition to the
spruce, hardy catalpa, black
locust, elm, and
more have been planted. It is

An angel passed n garden fair
With roses all full blown.
She paused to choose from them
One for her very own.
Softly she crept amid the Mowers
And all their beauty bright,
Where nestled close by mother rose
Lay a bud of purest white B,
Innocence with a baby face,
Watched by the keeper's tinder care.
Its fragrance hero was borne for aught
Why should it linger
Then the angel softly sighed.

Tenderly she plucked the bud
And bore her treasure away.

One more jewel for a crown;
For God hail sent the angel
And taken back his own.

Mr. Cleveland's Human Qualities.
Looking back over a friend-
ship of many years, I set more
clearly than ever before two
things that were characteristic
of Mr. Cleveland. In his
toward human nature then-
was a keen perception of its
weakness and limitation, com-
tined with a fifth faith in the
gradual and ultimate triumph of
its nobler qualities. ThU made
him in the broad sense of the
word, a democrat, but not an

you can get that all together you

had a sincere mistrust of
j excessive legislation. The hope
; of bringing the millennium y
j statute was one that he did not
share. But for the law as
and tor the safeguards
which it offers to common rights
I of person and property, had
la very holy reverence. Con-
science and courage both enter-
ed into this feeling. It came out
again and again in his public
acts and utterances. It shone
also in his private conversation
and in the whole bearing of the
man.
He had that kind of

It seems to me that Grover

among the great Presidents of
the United States. But his
greatness did not consist in the
possession of extraordinary
of common manhood to an
extraordinary degree. He rep-
resented the best type of a plain
American man raised to the Nth
power.
His friendship, to which he
admitted younger men with such
a hearty and natural sympathy,
was frank, generous, and stead-
fast. The whole man went into
it. Those who knew him thus

THE CANDIDATES CONFER.
Conference With Regard to the Con-
duct of the Campaign.
Hen. W. W. Kitchin. of
nominee for
governor, and Hon. A. H. Eller,
of chairman of
the State Democratic Executive
committee,, arrived in the city
yesterday afternoon and were in
conference until a late hour
last night with the
dates on the Democratic ticket
with regard to the conduct of
the campaign. They also dis-
cussed the preparation of the
Democratic hand book, the
of the advisory committee
and other matters relating; to the
campaign.
Chairman Filer while here,
will decide upon the time for
opening the headquarters in
Raleigh.
Mr. Kitchin is in splendid
health, although he has had no
vacation this summer. He will
deliver the first of the
campaign at the opening of
Rockingham court at Wentworth
Monday, August 3rd, but this
will probably not be the keynote
speech as that will be delivered
after the Republican platform
shall have been published.
Chairman Eller will remain in
Raleigh today, Mr. Kitchin re-
turning to Roxboro this morning.
