I0S Mission Ridge. Chattanooga. Tenn. When Mr. Keats exclaimed, "A t lying of beauty is a, Joy forever; Its loveliness Increases; It will never pass into nothingness," I am going to say that he never owned. In fee simple, a pair of glistening, patent leather shoea. I have been taking a census along the lines of the Farmer's Uplift Commission, and I find that he man who has owned patent leather shoes subscribes to the fact that they Soon pass Into nothingness that they fade away; crack and are soon all In. Fifty ml'.d-miannered men with whom I talk ed on the subject broke out Into Im moderate and unrestrained cussing. It Is a sure ithlng that Keats wasn't onto his Job. I wrtte this historical fact In order to show that some men wear laurels when not entitled to them, and other men blow themselves fr patent leather shoes and wait In vain for their loveliness to Increase. Speaking of patent leather shoes and the estacy their ownership brings to the possessor, If he happens to be a colored man. I will relate a short story happening In Danville, Virginia. A nejgro wat sentenced to be hanged and Pat Bolsseau, the genial sheriff of that city, teld the African that he would gratify any wish he mlgvht have In the matter of apparel, and the negro bogged for a pair of patent leather shoes In which to shuffle off. etc. The wish waa gratified as per promise, and when the wretched man appeared on the platform, he look ed down on his patents and a smile of genuine happiness spread over his countenance. He fell through the ecaffoM and It took me about a week to figure out why the condemned man died with a smile. It was because he knew full well that he would never llvo to see the shoes crax-k. If you are going to be ihanged and have tried the patent leather ehoe proposi tion, be sure to make arrangements for a pair, and you will die happy. I was reading the other day a local story in an eastern paper which exclt- el my curiosity. The item went on to say that one Edward Church, of South Orange, New Jersey, was sued by his wife for divorce, and among oter statements -was this paragraph: "About that time, she says, and while they were still living In South Orange, Mr. Church began to develop a taste for liquor. As South Orange waj a dry town on Sundays he brought home a quart bottle of whis key Saturdays and It was empty Mon day morning." Now. what distresses me Is, how could Mr. Church, in a dry town, de velop a taste for llkker. and how. In the name of Magic, could he bring home a quart bottle on Saturday night? The lady had sworn to the statement that South Orange was dry; her husband was a dry goods salesman; and yet he develops a taste for llkker In the dry town and man ages on Saturday to bring home a quart bottle which wae always empty on Monday morning. I want to Know If the llkker couldn't evaporate among other things, but principally what distresses me most is to worry over the question: Where did he get it' Originally it was my Intention to say tout little. In any of the letters I sent back to Charlotte, concerning California. I understand that those who have traveled at all have been In this State and have seen some of the many wonderful things exhibit ed here by Dame Nature. In the cur rent number of Colliers, the editor of that publication, in discussing the grove of big trees of Calaveras, says ond it is the one which most people hsve seen" but that Is mere talk, I dart say that 80 per cent, of the people who live In California never looked Ht the rrove of beauties In Cal- svfras county, and Isuspect that less than 10 per cent, of the people of the I Jr.lted States have seen It so I feel ! hat modesty would suggest that a i fellmV who la rubber-necking out here shcuTtin't make a vulgar display of his opportunity to see the many things ; really exhibited. Therefore I have confined myself strictly to the weath- j er. The weather Is something we can ' all talk aKut; and no matter whether It Is North Carolina weather or Cali fornia weather it Is a subject worth while. I note that The Observer bu reau at Raleigh reports that In Febru ary the twelve hundred and fifty rural mall carriers made every trip. That beats California weather, for out here the rain was on every day, sometimes In torrents for three solid months. So I like to talk about the weather, and especially about weather In a glorloua climate. It makes me feol good to i know that the State of my adoption. the State where I expect to pass my declining years, puts up better Febru ary weather than California, fwr-fnm-exl and far-away. do not know how better to describe tne situation than to select a couple of stanzas from the unpublished poems of William J. Bryan, on the subject. Which run something like this; When Noah's flood cams down the pike The people were amazed For forty days and forty nights or course the rolk were dazed. But, h , that's nothing on the coast Whare it rains most all the time. And acq ua pura is the boast Of this ga-lorlous dune: Maybe it wasn't William J.. maybe tt was Lord Cornwallls or Alfred Austin some of them wrltln' devils, and it Alls the bill. Lord, but Science, wall-eyed and gentle Science, Is doing much for us. I saw In a paper the other day an ac count of wthere a mother In an Indiana town, waa out to the picture show and saw a photograph of her long lost son. It was a scene from a Florida, os trich farm and as the old lady looked In open-eyed astonishment on the side plumes of the proud bfe-ds she saw her darling boy and of course ths scene that followed can be Imagined. Therefore it behooves us all to keep from In front a thA pnmort wfeAn Jnovmg picture men aibound. Think of the possibilities of the moving picture show If Sherlock Ho tony a gets on a clue, looking for tAie Man wtio de livered the solar plexus blow to Wil liam Patterson. As the Melancholy Dane remarked: "There's more a-comin' than has been dreamed "of in our philosophy." Of course are must now and . then yield something to our sister States. I regret that it didn't happen In North Carolina, but we still have golden. Jays ahead of us. That woman patient in the Presbyterian Hospital at Memphis, Tenn., the other dsy who was operat ed on for appendicitis and surprised the surgeons, by revealing two appen dices well, that gives the fellow nope who has lost one and still has that sMe-paln. The tnan who " has had everything else and finally yielded bis vermiform appendix and thoarht all was lost, can now console himself by thinking that maybe as has another one. and some day when he can afford t, he svtll have It taken out. It Is refreshing to know that the mania for the antique and oKl stuff is sirbdulng I see that recently four letters written toy George Washing-ton sold at auction for $200 not half as -mwch I daresay as William Randolph Hearst paJd for more recent letters written by Mr. Archbold, of Standard Oil connection. Personally I wouldn't give fifteen cerrts for a barrel full of old letters written iby Washington. In fai-t I have a bushel or so of old let ters written by myself that are more valuable to me. It is all right to save Oil plunder, now and then, for, as the aged lady remarked when she bought a second-hand 'baby carriage, "it to ga around auction sales buying cart loads of musty stuff written by Adam himself would In no way ap mlght c ome In handy, sometime," but peni to me. However. I am iut one of the small bugs walking erect aid there are millions of 'em crawling and creeping, here and there. The North has critlcise.l the South, and sometimes Justly so, because courts have taken time to consider cases where but a few cents were In volved, and especially If an African was the light-fingered one who pirr loined some article of little value It Is rot the South. It It simply a small eouled man who happens to be living at the South. This Item In the news eclum of a paper the other day Shows that there Is no South, no East, no West, no North, when It oomes to the little fellow Who can't help it. The telegram is from Hackeneak: "Nellie Hannah, a young domestic of Rrdgefleld Park, was locked up In the county Jail this morning fgr the alleged theft of two soiled handker chiefs worth possibly 10 centa The complaint "was made by Thomss D. Smith, her emplbyer, who said the handkerchiefs were found In her room. The girl told Judge Demarest sha did not know how they got there Tho Judge promptly ordered her re lease from custody." It might be that 'Vlown In our country" the Judge would make a case, and It might have happened In H&ckensack that the girl who took the soiled linen was plnohed.
