Napoleon bad an unusually deep

It was revealed when < Y»1 Duncan

to Parle as consul general more
than yi century ago. Napoleon was
puttied as to why the people In one
part of a «»unity embraced one
party, while their uelghbor* held
oppoalug views. In some manner
he had learned that Edgecombe

Democratic, while Pitt county em-
braced the Whig faith. !nft»ru>ed
that tYilouel MacRae was from that
state, he said to his courtiers:
“Now, I will find out the riddle
of North Carolina polltlca." So he
gave Colonel MacRae an extraordi­
nary welcome nnd said to him:
“I understand that the same river
flows through the «»unties of Edge-
■•otnbe and Pitt in North t,'arol!t> •
that the i>eople of both «»unties till
the noil and own slaves. I am told
that practically all the people In

Democratic party while u>o«t of the
people of Pitt are Whig*. Why la

MacRae would have been flabber­

the answer he made, but he was
quick to give a reasou that satisfied

Atbeeto» Long Known
but Little Employed
People of modem time are en­
gaged in a ceaseless search for
«ays to Improve living conditions.
Safety, comfort and reduction of
expense rank among the principal
things to be «»nsldered. Asbestos,
a material known for centuries, but
put to use only a comparatively
short time ago, has done as much
or more toward the realization of
these three fundamentals than any
other one thing In Its class. Traces
of Its use have been found in an­
cient China. In Persia, by the early
<1 reeks ami Romans, and later. In
about the Sixteenth century, in the
island of Guam, now a possession
of the United States

entirely the subject of myths and
legends, or treated merely as a
costly curio, into one of the world's

British Army Club
The Union Jack club is a
tional institution of Croat Britain
where soldiers, sailors nnd airmen
can go when on leave or passing
through London, a place where they
may deposit their kits and valu­
ables, where they may obtain at
moderate charges good meals and
comfortable bedrooms to themselves
and where they find the usual
amenities of a club. Including li­
brary and writing room, billiard
room, baths, barber shop and also
a club shop In which articles of ev­
eryday use and almost everything
that service men require may be
purchased. The Union Jack club
was erected by public subscription
as a national memorial to those
who had fallen In the South African
war and other campaigns, and
opened on July 1. 1907. by his
majesty. King Edward VII.

Trutt to Picture»
In these days of hustle and
tie, hyper-activity and constant
•■go,’’ there Is one thing that every­
one can d<> to neutralise to some
extent the restle««ness that has In­
vaded our life. That one thing Is
to surround oneself with beantifnl
and restful pictures.
Pictures take the mind off the
worrisome, petty details that are so
lrltatlng to the nervous system. A
good-natured Jolly Cavalier to look
down on us understandlngly from
the wall, or a lovely Madonna to
fill us with peace and contentment
are like real
companions and
friends, and have an advantage
that even the best friends do not
have: they make no demands and
expect no favors; they are always
equally dependable and ever ready
to serve.
