No;v, I'll give my reasons for the l ifk of svm I m thy on toy part. This w u great 'rr good fl i world we've got here. True it given m some chilling weaihcr at times, weather coll e.iongh to al most freeze the marro v in our bones, but there is a long, glori ous beautiful season in tlw three hundred and sixty-five d ays of the twelve mouths that ;dit' just opens her store house to us ;ind bids us get whatever we want. At the dawn of creation, when man with his strong muscle, his princely strength and his active bruin, stepped out up n i'.s wide expanse, the Creator said to him, ''la the swear of thy face shalt thou cat bread."' And with the great and wonderful power that the earth has of producing any thing and everything that is nee- essary for making the human b.- ing comfortable both in ci.ld and hot weather there is no good rea son why everybody ia it should not be well fed and comfortably housed. 'Tis true the .Master said '"The poor ye have al trays with you," but He didn't say it c uildu't be otherwise. 1 do not mean to say that everybody can be rich; no indeed, and it's a good tiling they can't; but I do say there is work enough in t his busy, hustling world for everybody to get 11 job and have enough to eat and wear if th-y will manage right. If there is not work en ough in the towns, then let them come to the broad, open, coun try where the job hums t ie man and th" man doesn't hunt the job. In our beutiml Smth. the most favored bind on the globe today 1 hero are thou an !s of a cres lying 11 n tended every year, acres t!afc w'ould bring forth a bundantly a plenty of ad kinds of things to eat; and so whose fault is it if any man goes hun gry? Why, even here in my own na tive State, in Chesterfield county there are acres and acres of cot ton fields that haye neyer been picked over even once, for the lack of hands to pick it. 1 saw this cotton very recently and re marked to a tanner in that sec tion that they must have a plen ty of money or they wouldn't be letting theircotton rotthat way. He told me that th y couldn't get it picked. Said he he had of fered to get his cotton picked on halves and still he had failed to get it gathered. He t-aid he had lilteen bales of cotton in the field now. You see labor is very scarce on the farms. Yes, there is plenty of work all over the country to do and good pay, and wood lying in the woods that can be had for the asking for making fires, and yet there are men who will stay in the cit ies and half starve and almost frieze to death before they will go out to the country and work. I suppose they are afraid they will get a little dirt on their clothes, but ray, my, it would be clear. .ure dirt, dirt that is washed by the ruin and dried by the sun from God's own blue sky. Dirt that is free from death-den ling germs aud if they gat it on their clothes or even on their hands and faces it wouldn't he halt so shameful or disgraceful as it is "Noojs" on "iirirrt..

To the American and to thp Cuban there will always come thoughts of a great crisis when there is neen a relic of the Maine. To the Cuban it will typify the realisation of his Ion;:' ami sweet dream of independence and to the American it will he a relic that speaks of theprompt action ol l is country which came from the exp'osion in which the lives of so many Americans went oui. Theip is now in Washington Navy Yard many relics of the Maine brought by the Navn! Collier Leonidas, ami concerning the disposition of these relies the the Washington Cost says: "Vthnt is left of the original mast, which weighed lN.UOt) pounds, is now but a broken, twisted section, but it is appro priate enough for a monument to the dead heroes. ith a fine sense of the eternal fitness of things. Congress has provided that what remains of the mast of the once great hattleshipshull be taken to Arlington, theie to be used as a monument over the graves that will cover the re mains of the heroes ol the Maine. "The bodies of the dead sea men are to be transported Iroin Havana on a battleship with con vovs the latter part of next m-.nth. They will be buried in Arlington and above the gtnves will rise the gaunt line of the mast ot the battleship, wlih'h for so many years their deep sea tomb. "It is doubtful whether there will be enough relics of the Maine to supply the demands, even though these are honored under the terms of the law passed by Congress providing for the dis tribution among inutdcipnlitu s patriotic societies, survivors of the .Maine and the kin of the vic tims of the disaster. "A comparatively small num ber Americans will have such rel ics, but l hey will not neeo pieces of wood or iron to remember the Maine. The mast in Arlington will stand as a symbol of patri ot ism and martyrdom, and when the piesent generation is dend and gone othergenera ioris will recall with sadness, but with patriotism the men who gaye up their lives for their country, Abr.oM Lost His Lite.
