But after, the ntise and smoke of conflict have cleared away, it takes a sturdy soul and a strong heart to be" a patriot and fight the battles of peace.

'PHONE 55. Miss Frances Morgan 1 Faaelnated by Ancient Art Daughter of Banker. (New York Evening Frances Morgan, daughter of the head of the best-known banking house in the Western world and granddaughter of the financial czar who for a of a century ruled financial America, is learning a trade. The 18-year-old society girl who can play checkers with real gold, works at her apprenticeship in a loft in East Twenty-second street. Two days a week she handles the tools of the trade and applies herself to the study of its many details.

It is no ordinary trade that engrosses the young woman. It is an old-fashioned species of handicraft that carries with it real art and takes the worker into the most interesting and unusual byways and hedges of literature, ancient and modern. For the odd of the bookbinder is the lure that takes her into -active workaday life. Her mistress in trade is Miss Marguerite Duprez Lahey, who one of the most interesting of the new army of women who do To Miss Lahey late Mr. J.

Pier-pont Morgan intrusted the gems of his library for rebinding, and his son is continuing in his- father's footsteps and having the rare books of his library rebound. The workshop of Miss Lahey is a glass inclosure 100 by 20 feet. In this limited spac there are five machines, the same as used in fifteenth century binding. Racks containing tools, costly leathers and the queer wooden machines used in forwarding and sewing. Here Miss Lahey and her pupil works alone and unobserved.

Not only is it necessary to have great delicacy of touch to acquire the sure, steady hand of the m'aster bookbinder, but-it is imperature to have some physical prowess. The tightening of the press has a 50-pound crowbar which the young women are required to use in' work. As a book goes into the press' five times some little effort is called'. into. play.

Miss Morgan wears a yellow crepe artist's apron smocke in pink when she vworks at the bindery, and "from all accounts is an ardent and eager pupil. MisB Lahey's' exquisite work on' a volume in 1908 tef Masson's "Napoleon and which came' to the late' J. Morgan's attention, secured her the work of the J. P. Morgan library.

What 1 Mr. Morgan Likes-. Miss Lahey is now at work on a writing pad and telephone book cover for Mr. Morgan. Mr.

Morgan affects the Paul, poiret coloring in his study. The walls are hung in Anierican beauty red and the binding on books, 'the leather accessories, in a wonderfully beautiful royal purple. Perhaps the most unique bit of binding done by Miss Lahey was the cover Of the late Mr. Morgan's personal copy of the Chinese porcelain collection. Though the collection is now dispersed, the catalogue, the tooling of which consumed 270 hours of labor, fixes Lahey's place as one of the masters of her-craft.

SHALL WE DEMAND FtFRE EGGS Proposal Made That Peregrinationw of Hens Be Investigated. (Kansas City Star). There is a general sort of feeling that one fresh egg is as good as an other. Who is it that is ready to ask Whether her weekly supply of eggs is fertilized or not? Most of us are parti cular' to the point of pettiness on the subject of pure we will only buy our rolls done up In waxed paper, we will not look at anything but Grade A milk. In accordance with our ideas restaurants even do up loaf sugar in sealed billets-and so on through the list without a lapse until we come to eggs As a matter of fact, eggshells are not germproof by any means.

From the moment we realige how it happens that an egg can grow "stale" we must admit that contamination is possible. A whole group of disquiet revela tions follow upon this admission, not the least of which is the discovery that the garden or farmyard hen is at present allowed to saunter whither she listeth, regardless of hygiene. Then we trustfully gather her product and feed it to our babies and invalids, for getting that unless hens are healthful, unless their food is pure and clean, they cannot lay pure eggs. When poultrymen realize this, and all scientific poultrymen do realize it, the chicken nuisance will be a thing of the past, and people who want to sell eggs will no more want their fowls to run free than the modern dairyman allows his kine to nibble by the roadside. NO JUDGE AVAILABLE Nash County Misses Term of Court Judgpe Cooke Improving.

(Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. Jan. 22. The Nash county authorities have appealed to Governor Craig for some Superior court judge to be substituted for Judge Chas. M.

Cooke to hold the Nash Superior court next week. However, the Governor found that not a single judge was available. Nash will therefore have to do without this regular term. Judge Cooke is understood to be slowly improving. He is undergoing treatment in a Philadelphia sanitarium.

Love is a flowery chain that holds two -hearts; a marriage chain is as strong as we make it. infinite nothingness will swallow his life. "Living all for Jesus, 'tis the golden way; Finding in His service gladness for the day; Looking for His footprints, humbly walking there, Turning every promise into trustful prayer. Living all for Jesus in communion sweet. Bringing every burden to His pierced feet; Telling Him our troubles, knowing He will heed, Finding grace to hely us in our time of need.

Living all for Jesus, blessing He'll bestow, Till His earthen vessels fill overflow; Yielding to His He the work will do, What a great salvation, wonderful and true. Living all for Jesus since for us He died, Since for us He's pleading, crowned and crucified, Love so free and boundless wakens highest praise, Glory to our "Saviour through enter-nal days." communities, the war against ignor-J ance, against disease, againse crime and immorality are as important to this and succeeding generations as was the war against the invading hosts of Grant and Sherman. And enlisting in this modern war we have the illustrious example of the noble Lee himself. After the conflict, when he retired to his Virginia home, where he hoped he might be permitted to earn food and shelter for himself and family, Lee immeditae-ly set the example of the ideal citizen by entering into the life of his depleted, native state, and accepted an humble position as a teacher of the youth of the land he had fought to defend. We hear if often said that every man has his price, and if we are to believe all the things we read and hear these days, it would seem that there are but few honest men left in the world.

But, in complete refutation of that charge, we have only to refer to that incident in the life of Lee when he was offered a princely salary to become the head of a large corporation. He modestly claimed that his services would not be worth so much, and refused to allow the honor of his name and reputation for base material purposes. Rather did he accept the headship of a small educational institution, where his great talents could be used in training the sons of the men vhom he had led in the bloody conflict. In striking contrasts in this decision of Lee with that of other men who lived in his day, and -indeed with the average modern man, whose main desire seems to be to get along in the world, and enjoy the fruits of wealth, and at those appliances which' are its concomitants. It" has been predicted that this fair land of ours was bursting with opulence, and because of it, was heading straight for such a decline as in the olden days visited the mighty Roman empire.

But, my friends, no such fate can ever overtake a people who have the saving salt of exalted ideals expressed in the life of a man like Lee, who would not bend the knee at the command of wealth; who refus ed to bow down and worship the golden image of and who would not barter away a good name for the things, that undermine the temple of character and righteousness and good citisenship. Lee stood in the fiery furnace of war and was untouched by its terror because of his belief in the unseen and his faith in God. The recent revival of altruistic ideas is but another instance of the projectile power of Lee's character; for a'study of his life shows that love and kindness were the dominant characteristics of his nature. The generally ac? cepted conception that "war is hell," is softened when we think of Lee, whose quiet dignity of manner, whose warm and generous heart and whose purity of life throughout all the great struggle, made him the ideal of his men and the wonder and admiration of his associates. But that loving nature was not cankered by weakness or indecision, for no man who trifled with his feelings or proved recreant to his trust wajS; ever able to forget the re-buue such as Lee could give.

The burden of the speeches that we hear these days from great thinkers seems to be attuned to the note of un selfishness, spending one's self not for his private fortunes or personal gain, but giving generously of his time and substance to the public good. Projecting one's self into the life of his community and living for the betterment of his neighbors seems the standard for the highest form of human service. In the attainment of that ideal no one has reached a higher mark than Lee. When he was offered the command of the entire Union army if he would join the Northern forces, he declined and accepted a minor command in his native state. Self-interest would have dictated a different course; but true to the noble impulse of his.

whole life, he gave his great talents to those with whom he was reared and whom he lov- edReflecting upon the career of such a noble spirit, it is little wonder that he is loved and his memory so revered by the men who fought with him and followed him even to defeat. But when we have heaped upon his brow every measure of praise, we must at last ask with the poet; "Can storied urn or animated bust back to its mansion call the fleeting breath: Can honor voice Piuv silent dust, or flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of death?" No' He needs not earthly monuments that shall crumble and decay, Lee's eternal home is built in of his grateful countrymen, and on the bosom of the God he loved and trusted. And while I would detract not one iota from his greatness, yet to my mind, the men who obeyed his commands, who the muskets and slept in the trenches, who kept guard during the long watches of the night; the men who marched footspfe and -weary ipto the very jaws of deatn, wim i 1 upon their lips, the men woo t. iiAitrhts. who-wielded the bay onets and made it possible to win the battles these men, the private Confederate soldiers I claim, have never yet received that high mead of praise which should envelope them in an everlasting e-lorv And I take this my Sood veteran friends, to say to'youas one of the younger generation, that your part in that great struggle is the most priceless page in all the history of Southern chivalry and Southern manhood.

With it we are content; we are thankful; we are proud to own you as our forefathers; and from generation unto generation shall the fame Of glory of "the private Confederate sol -die? be handed down as a blessed heritage And those of you who are so fortunate as to wear the Confederate cross of honor bestbwed by the good women of the Southland, in my humble opin- wear a Qecuiauuu honorable ana muuu.i any that can be. bestowed by the downed heads of Europe, or by king, brince or potentate of any earthly domain But-even more honorable that Stat cross of honor are those enduring marks of dif'nction which, have been pieced into the very flesh and bone of Jour made by the enemy's fast speeding bullet or the bayonet charge while fighting on the field or honor. Those honorable scars may not be visible to the world's gaze, but tney are the silent reminders to your inner consciousness, that' you have had Ta mans part, yea a soldier's part in the glory of the Southern cause. And my friends if you will pardon a personal allusion, iy esteem it the proudest honor of my life that, I am descended from a Confederate private soldier, who fought the entire four years, without receiving anJ without wishing any entitlements of -office, honorable distinctions, Other than come to a private in the ranks defending the honor of the land he loves.

this earth would be uninhabitable. in the Physical and spiritual me or man, these divergent forces are STeP rk: with dlsease, crime, passion, hatred and enmity destroying and tearing down; while health, exercise, clean living, education, sanitation, morality and religion are constructing and conserving the human race. in. all the affairs of the world we find these two contrasting forces leaving their impress for good or for evil. The life of very man has by nature certain limitations, and whether he usfe his powers constructively, as did the whom we honor todv.

nr h. tructively, as do so many of us, will ucionmne me value of that man to vsqciety, to posterity and to the God who gave him life. In the world of thought, men's visions are restricted; and some are narrow and bigoted. In the church we talk of creed and infant baptism and close communion, and he who believes not with us must stand outside the pale of our particular religious circle. In politics, we talk of party organization, party platform, and candidates, and unless you are willing to submit your thought and action to the dominance of my particular view, then you are not flt to be classed as a member fmy political party.

In education, that enlightened realm where we would at least expect tolerance and breadth of vision, we even find its adherents forming themselves into groups and factions, excluding those who dare express an opposing belief. This narrowness of mental vision, which we all display jn our modern life, is merely enlarging the principle adopted by the old woman who ties her cow to the stake to graze; but the cow's range is limited, her area is restricted. This world of running brooks and fields of green clover do not exist for that cow because she can reach ouj no further than the length of the chain by which she. is bound. And thus do the chains of narrowness and bigotry, the chains of unbelief and indifference.

the chains of hatred and anger, the chains of selfishness and envy, bind us to the little circle in which we live; and shut us out from the glorious vision of a world filled with the sunlight of truth, and the regenerating power of love towards all mankind. My purpose in commenting upon these downward forces in man, which are destructive of the best things in life, is merely in order to contrast them with those constructive, uplifting energies which are nowhere more perfectly expressed than in the life of Robert E. Lee. And that one who would be emancipated from these chafing chains of narrowness, I would point to an emulation of the character of this constructive citizen, whose breadth of vision, whose steadfastness of character, whose unswerving loyalty to the right, and unselfish devotion to the South, have forever enshrined his name tn letters of gold on the highest reaches of Southern manhood. Thinking to comfort him soon after the war, a young mother with whom he was talking, said: "General, I shall teach my young son when he grows up to love the South." General Lee replied, "Madam, you must teach him not only to love the South, but to love his country." While fighting for the Confederacy, every drop of his blood and every beat of his heart were quick with emotion for the section he loved; but when the struggle was ended and the God of Wars decreed his defeat, he manfully accept ed his fate.

But he did not sulk or rail at the fortunes of war. He cheerfuly took up the duties of citizenship as an American patriot, and even in that dark hour recognized these Unites States as one Union now and forever. But while this Union stands today in the hearts of all of us as one and indestructible, and we love it and will fight for it as freely as you did for the Confederacy, yet it stands supported by the principles for which you, my Confederate friends, fought, no less than upon the principles of our Northern brethren. They believed in a central government, while we fought for local self government by the States, and if today you remove either of those props from under our National nolicy. the whole scheme of our govern ment would crumble and fall just as surely as your railroad bridge would fall in to the waters below if you should remove the abutments from either And so -woven into the fabric of our National life -are the ideals of the South, that at no time in our history has Southern leadership been more effective or more dominant than it today.

The Chief Justice -of bur National Supreme the most sugust tribual on earth, is a Confederate veteran. In both branches of our National Legislature the leaders are Southern men and North, Carolinans. And around the President's cabinet table sit nvanymen of Soutnern birth, including one from our own State. And occupying the highest office in the gift of any people is a Southern man who lived his early life in your own city of Wilmington. In this critical moment of our National existence, surrounded as we are by the pitfalls and quicksands of an unprecedented world-wide war his strong and steady grasp holds the helm of our good ship of State; Ms keen and unclouded vision has mapped the course which we must steer, and with an iron nerve and dauntless courage, Woodrow Wilson the help-of God, will pilot this American nation intd a harbor of safety Let us then rally to, the cause "America Americans," and uphold his Hands in to preserve American honor, American traditions and Amerl- ah is so devoid of 'patriotism that he does not delight to honor the Sen who fought the battles and risked Ufe and property In the defense of our PMany of em nobly proved what the poet of old, sa that it is to die for one's country.

FRONT ST. STATEMENT BY SHERIFF EDWARDS NO SEN Judge Lyon Convenes Wayne Superior Court Monday. Three Negroes in Penitentiary for Safe Keeping Expected to he Brought to Goldsboro for Trial for Murder of Gurley.

(Special Star Correspondence.) Goldsboro, N. Jan. 22. The at tendance at Superior court which convenes in this city next Monday morn ings bids fair to be a record-breaker, owing to the intense interest manifested throughout the county concerning the outcome of the case of State vs. Isham Smith, Ben and Frank Coley, three negroes now confined in the 1 State penitentiary for safe keeping, who are charged with being implicated in the murder of Mr.

A. T. Gurley, a prominent farmer of this county, Thursday afternoon, January 6th. John Richards, who was lynched near this city at the scene of the murder last Wednesday morning after he had confessed that he had a hand in the killing, also iniplicated Isham Smith and Ben Coley as accomplices in the crime, but steadfastly stuck to his statement that Frank Coley had nothing to do with the murder. However, the authorities deemed it wise to hold Frank also, for a witness if nothing more.

Judge C. C- Lyon, of Bladen county, will preside at this term of court. It is presumed that the three negroes, Isham Smith, Ben and "Frank Coley, will be brought from Raleigh to this city to stand trial. It is also expected that Judge Lyon will order the sheriff to summon a special venire of 200 men to select a jury to try them. There are no new developments to record in the lynching case.

So far as can be learned, the authorities and people in general are as much at sea as to who participated in the lynching as they were the day the deed was committed. In today's issue of the Goldsboro Weekly Record, Sheriff R. H. Edwards published the statement following below, and in a personal interview with your correspondent stated that his interview in which he made reference to "Governor Csaig and a negro with a sore toe" was not published in the State papers in the light that he intended it to be at the time he expressed his feelings. The sheriff's statement follows: Statement of Sheriff Edwards.

"So much has been said about the lynching at Goldsboro that is not so, and so much that is so, that the public will never get the real facts. "I do not propose to enter into a newspaper controversy about the matter. I have performed my duty as I knew how, and my people are the only critics I care anything about. If my service is satisfactory to them, I am satisfied. "An investigation by the officers of the State will show whether or not I have been derelict in my duty, and while the newspapers cannot punish me, they have no more right to pass judgment on me without a hearing than the lynching crowd did to pass judgment on Richards.

They have lived the lareer portion of their lives in an" environment as different from today as fS midnight from the noon day sun. Thev were called from their homes aml firesides, from their workshops and farms, and many of them mere boys, from the schoolhouses and colleges of the State, by the bugle bliist meant red, red wan They, followed the flag they loved, fought for. it, ml many, yea too, many, died upon the fatal field of glory.

But that deathless remnant of Lee's immortal soldiers who with him gave up their arms at Appomattox were not defeated nor cast down. They returned to their ruined and deserted homes, to' their broken and dejected families, and'sfart-ed all over again, with sublime patience and fortitude, to build the foundations of our Southern civilization which had been blasted by the rude fortunes of war. 1 I feel, therefore, my good friends, that I have been complimented out of all proportion to my just deserts in being invited to speak to such men on this occasion, which is so filled with noble thoughts and sacred memories. In coming back home today, I wish to acknowledge my debt of gratitude to the Cape Fear Camp of Confederate Veterans, and to the Cape Fear Chapter. United Daughters of the Confederacy, for their invitation.

It enables me to visit again this spot from which my heart has never been separated. One can never forget his youthful associations, nor can be resist the pull of the heartstrings that would turn him in the homeward path. This is especially true of those whose good fortune it has been to be born on the banks of the old Cape Fear, and whose happy childhood has been spent in the genial atmosphere of dear old Wilmington. While in material matters my interests are of necessity where I now live, yet in those finer sentiments which are the very heart and soul of man's existence. I am bound by early tradition, close friendship and by kindred to this spot which shall ever have the warmest place in my affections.

There has always been to my mind something appropriate in celebrating Dccasions of this" sort jointly by -the two organizations of the Daughters and the Veterans. I have watched with a good deal of interest this movement for the gradual amalgamation of the sexes. TVe see it displayed prominently all around us. but especially so in the modern suffrage movement, "by whicn the good women would relieve us of all the cares of pontics; and when their cause is finally triumphant, as it will be. you may look to see a reformed world and a regenerated social order.

I welcome them to the task, as we bachelors do all their movements that would draw us closer together. In fact. 1 have at times advocated the amalgamation of the individual woman with individual man but thus far, I acknowledge with sadness, that my efforts in this direction have been with out success. To me this occasion has singular significance. In memory it carries me back to early days, when many of the members of this camp, into whose faces 1 now look, were men in- the zenith of their physical and mental power, and whose strong, erect bodies bore the impress of their military training.

But that bloody four years struggle for jour country, and my country, has also made its deeper marks. And of it, your physical sufferings have been multiplied, your once erect forms now betray the ravages of exposure, snd your wounded limbs, in 5ome instances, are shrunk and life-lets. Thus have you my good Veteran friends, raid the dearest price possible for the cause of liberty, in order hat wp of a younger generation might en- Joy the blessings of a free and self-respecting people. You lived at a time hen a man's dutv and oatriotlsm and love of country meant. faciner the cannon's mouth on the field of battle, 'o die if need be for your native land.

Eut we of this generation are asked merely to live for that country, and Perpetuate those ideals for which you eave your, red life's blood. And in commenorating the birth of those most illustrious fietfres of modern the matchless and the im mortal Jackson, the thought has come me-that it is an occasion upon which P'e might well reflect upon their quali- as constructive citizens, ratner tnan soldiers. No word that I could say would add to or take from 'he slorv nf nioc ocz tri-oat rm- manders and wise generals. Their fame military genius is forever written the eternal scrolls of time. It has wen preserved in the archives of all 'be years to come and acknowledged every nation of the earth.

You yourselves knew and loved them on the field battle, and I shall try to add no ord to their sublime record for mili-tar" prowess: The world generally has grown to flunk of Lee and Jackson as military leroes, and has neglected the private f-Uizen side of their lives, which per- "aps for us today yields the larger Hnd valuable lesson. Those noble dualities which made them great upon battle field, were manifest also in Private life and gave them enduring lame as useful members of society. And from the record of the life of Lee, -specially, as a citizen, have I brought few observations that seem pertinent us of the present day.

Eccl. After locmotlve ha! made a trip is treated more or less like tired horse. It is put in the round-house, the hostler crawls under, through its working parts, looks oyer the bolts to if they have vilftrated loose, searches for breaks or weak places, wipes it reoils it, and in general gets it in condition to go screaming through the; night, pulling its load of human freight.

This is an illustration of an amusement worth while. It must be the opposite of the daily vocation and thus prepare the individual for a better and more useful life. Life is selfish. We must first care for ourselves, that we may be useful our second care, which is for others. Our own life, health.

Knowledge, temperament, and ability, is the capital. The interest which this capital pays in our own worldly activities is to be given to the world. This is our duty others. So any amusement to be worth while must be one which will make it possible for pur life to pro-' duce a greater amount of blessings for our fellowmen. An amusement to be worth while, must meet one or more of the needs of the body, mental, physical or spiritual, and must be in.

the form of a change. Life is made up of activity and rest. An amusement is classified as rest, as is intended to better flt the individual for his daily work. The amusement to be recreative, must furnish elements of life not furnished by the daily vocation. The banker, office man, clerk, stenographer, those leading sedentary lives 'within doors, require amusements such as golf, tennis, rowing, swimming, or rambling in the hills.

Whereas the traveler, collector, teamster or farmer usually finds his greatest pleasure' with a good book and an-easy chair before the open fire. The spiritual and mental- life are subject to the same needs as the physical. The pastor must get away from his book and relieved from the burden others, which he Tiabitually carries. The doctor and teacher must have a change of mental activities, whereas those whose daily labor are. not in the path of science finds these subjects entertaining and profitable.

Much of the dissention regarding the value of amusements is due to the fact that judgment is based on the needs of the one judging and applied to the needs of another. For this reason when an amusement is proposed, there are usually a number of people who say they do not like it, or take part, perhaps through courtesy. So in planning amusements for others" they should be planned with the lives of the individuals in mind who afe expected to fake part. Within certain limits, the desires are good guide to theamusements needed. People roll in, their sleep, for the reason that eef 'tain "niuscles are receiving recreation-while others are being fatigue by presure, and nature equalizes the circulation.

If we sit in one position long, we cramp and find it necessary to about. If we have protein- or, meat diet, wet have a long ing for carbohyrates or' -sugar in some form. If we are1 stimulated by the open air, we 1 on to- sit it- the house, whereas the one in the house longs to be in the open. So with reason as our check, our-desires are a good guide to our needs. A college professor once advised a law student to spend a portion of his time reading adventure stories, for these being so far removed from his ordinary thoughts of life, would take the burden from his overworked nerve cells, and force them to rest.

And, as an observation, the professor stated that the poorest lawyers he ever knew were those constantly running around with a legal journal in their pocket, for they always approached their work with a fatigued brain. Amusement, as ordinarily considered, is a form of recreation which costs money to enjoy.
