AN ODE TO McCRORY
We have in our colnms this week
an article entitled “An Ode to Mc
Crory.” composed by one of Mc
Crory’s most promising young
men, Mr. Noble E. Wherry.
Mr. Wherry has the reputation
of being full of natural wit, and in
fact a very talented young man,and
the lines he has composed are, we
think, positive proof of the same.
Go on Wherry and make name
and fame for yourself, for there is
as much truth as there is poetry in
your poem.

TASK TO TRY THE PATIENCE
Jigsaw Puzzle Can Be Made Realty
Hard If One Goes About It the
Right Way.
“The jigsaw puzzle may be very
difficult at first,” said a victim of
the rage, “but after you have put
one together a few times it comes
easier to you. Somehow you get the
hang of it, and you get actually to
recognize some chunk that fits into
the trunk of a tree or the leg of a
horse or the feather on a hat, and
pretty soon you may come to be able
to put this puzzle together rather
rapidly and you say to yourself: ‘Oh,
that isn’t so hard.’
“But if you want something hard
just turn the blocks of the same
puzzle upside down and get the plain
side of the wood up, no pictures, no
lines, no guide whatever in putting
them together, just those jiggly
blocks with a perfectly plain surface,
and then try putting the puzzle to
gether.
“Then you’ll find yourself with a
job on hand that will give you some
thing to do sure enough, that will
tax your patience really.”
SECRET OF PERPETUAL YOUTH.
Now that I have plenty of time
for reflection I am intensely amused
at the wonder of which I am the ob
ject. People wonder at what they
are pleased to call my perpetual
youth, and they wonder how I man
age to kill time here at my castle in
far-off Wales, away from society and
social excitement. Such shoals of
letters I receive, begging me to tell
them the secret of my voice, my
complexion, my figure, my animal
spirits. They pledge their word
that if I will only tell them all, it
will be held inviolable. As if there
was any secret, unless temperance in
all things is a secret!—Mine. Patti,
in Strand Magazine.
SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE.

Father—Do you mean to tell me you
didn’t say a word when the young man
kissed you?
Daughter—Why, dad, how could I?
THE AUTOMOBILE CURE.
Motoring having been decried for
a sufficiently long time as a nerve
racking sport, a French physician,
Dr. Mounteyrat, now comes forward
with advice to use it aa a remedy for
nervous and mental ills. One may
even cure anaemia and sleeplessness,
he assures us, by judicious motor
travel. From observations on the
blood carried on during several
eight-day tours the doctor concludes
that the number of red corpuscles is
increased about twenty-eix per cent,
during a trip of this length, the ef
fect being much the same aa that of
a sojourn on a high mountain for
the same period.

EMBARRASSING.
"I’ve got to get a new stenog
rapher,” 6aid Senator Sorghum.
“This one has a way of interrupting
me to inquire how some word is
spelled.”
“That must consume & great deal
of time.”
“Not only that, I am compelled
to jeopardize office discipline by
owning up that I don’t know.”
THE ONE HE SAW COMING.
Daughter—That fashionable por
trait painter may be expensive, but
I must have my picture painted by
'him. You can see there is so much
finish about his work.”
Father—Yes, I can see it all right
—my finish.

A POOR PEDESTRIAN.
“Did you ever see a ghost ?” asked

“Yes,” replied the actor person,

IN MEMORIUn.
Died: at his home near Tilton,
Saturday morning at 2:45 o’clock
Esquire Chas. N. Henri, aged 59
years. The deceased was sick for a
bout the space of one week when
death overtook him. He was a man
of generous impulses and never
forgot the hospitable ways of the
pioneer. The stranger even though
a beggar, never failed to find food
and shelter, if he sought it at his
hands, and he was at home by the
bedside of the sick and delighted
in all kinds of neigborly offices.
He had borne adversity bravely
and enjoyed prosperity quietly. He
had filled the various relations of
life, as son,husband, father, broth
er, friend and filled them well,
who could do more? When he died
full of years, and ready to be gath
ered to his fathers, the grief that
was felt over the close of his long
career was wide-spread and sincere,
His best monument will be the
good report that he has left behind
him in the community in which he
has lived for nearly 30 years.
Mr. Henri was a member of the
Methodist Church and had just
taken the Iniatory Degree in the
Odd Fellows Lodge of this city and
exemplified by his pure and honor
able life, the teachings of the gold
en rule, and unfailingly evinced a
practical piety that will long be re

He believed the man who scatters

He was also justice of the peace
