THE SOLID SOUTH.
Its Loyalty to Principle Commen
dable to Rest of the Country.
There's morn than a joke in
that good story with a profane
flavor which Major Hemphill
tells ahont Mr. Tuft. The Pres
ident would do well, after he
lias laughed over it sufficiently
to analyze it ami appreciate
what it means. And all North
erners or Republicans who have
an idea that they are bcimiing
to see cracks in the ''Solid
South," indicating that before
another generation it will split
open, will also do well to yon
der. As they say in the South,
there is "a heap of truth" con
densed in that little story.
Southerners are ever loyal to
the nation's President, whether
they vote for him or not. To
them he is the President of the
whole nation, entitled to respect
by virtue of his office, to honor
and praise in addition accord
ing us he by wisdom of action
proves worthy of it. And that
is an attitude, be it known,
highly commendable in the
loyal citizens of the South, and
highly commendable to the
rest of the country.
Hut when it comes to voting
the South serves the Democrat
ic party be it reverently said,
for it is true next to its (iod.
And be it said in passing that
it serves its Hod better in these
times than does any other part
of the nation. He founded,
even New England. To the
foundation of Democracy the
South stands; it dare not, even
if it would, stand anywhere
else. Hy its sign it conquers, or is
vanquished, goes down in lion,
oralde and untamed defeat
The South learned generations
ago to be loyal to a principle,
and it proved in a bitter war
between the States how well it
had learned the lesson. Its
principle in these days is the
Democratic party; and it will
hold to it. It may not wisely
bo said, moreover, that demon
stration of such principle is bad
for the nation's view. It raises
us with a needed lift above
those petty differences, which
define partisanship in the
North.
These things every man
should know who would study
wisely his political history.
These things every man should
know who enters polities with
high ideals. They are for the
saving troiii imsapprenensKui
ami disappointment of any man
who fancies that some day the
too, too Sol itl South will melt,
away. The time will come, it
may he, when we'll thank (iod
for that rock of loyalty to prin
ciple New Haven Register.

I went to dat big house to see de white folks dat I know;
A young policeman peeked out through de bars an' says "hello !"
1 stepped right in beside him, 'case he didn' have no proof.
He jerk a handle an' we started sailin' foh de roof.
1 couldn' hardly ketch my href.
Take me back to Turkey Level.
De way dem white folks does is sho'ly
I says, "Please light a fire, 'cause I's as cold as 1 kin be."
Dey turn a little spigot in an iron fence so neat
And dey fill de litile settin' room chock full o' fireless heat.

Take me back to Turkey Level, 'cause 1 wants to watch de blaze.
Dey never makes no special diff'rence 'twixt de day an' night.
Dey twists a little button when dey wants to strike a light,
An' when dey wants some music, dey takes paper from de shelf
An' feeds it to de organ den it goes an' plays itself.
De candle light is plenty on' mo' comfortin' by far.

BACHELOR MALL.
BY EUGENE
It seems like a dream that sweet wooing of old
Like a legend of fairies on pages of gold
Too soon the sweet story of loving was closed,
Too rudely awakened the soul that reposed;
I kissed the white lips that lay under the pall,
And crept back to you, lonely Bachelor Hall.
Mine eyes have grown dim, and my hair has turned white,
But my heart beats as warmly and gayly tonight
As in days that are gone and years that are fled
Though I fill up my flagon and drink to the dead;
For over my senses sweet memories fall
And the dead is come back to old Bachelor Hall.
1 see her fair face through a vapor of tears,
And her sweet voice comes back o'er the desert of years,
And I hear, oh, so gently, the promises she spoke
And a soft spirit hand soothes the heart that is broke;
So I fill up the flagon and drink that is all
To the dead and the dying of Bachelor Hall.
THE PRODIGAL SON IN 1911.
It Is the Manner in Which He!
Returns That Throw a Wet I
Blanket Over Festivities.
No, it isn't that the world has ;
grown hard hearted; it isn't that j
we aren't just as glad today to see
the prodigal come hack and iust as ,
lovingly anxious to welcome him
home as'ever was anybody in the i
15th chapter of Luke. It is the j
manner in which the prodigal son j
of 1911 frequently returns that i
throws a wet blanket over the tes-1
tivities of the welcome. When he
conies down the road with his hat J
hanging on his ear and his hands
in his pockets; when he kicks the
faithful old house-dog as he lounges
in at the gate; when he calls father
'Gov'nor" and the hired man
'Cull," when he wants to know,
what's for dinner?" before he
has been in the house fifteen min
utes; when he gives his elder
brother two fingers to shake, and
advises him to' comb the hayseed
out of his hair; when he throws
himself into the easiest chair in the
house perches his feet on the win
dow sill and announces that he'll
"take a tub before dinner," when
he conies back with a generally
forgiving air of good fellowship
about him, and tries to make all
the rest of the family feel very easy
and reassured then it is my son
that your father longs to run and
meet you while you are a great way
off and fall upon your neck with a
plow line and welt you into
state of becoming humility
and penitence by the time
you are able to take oft your hat
to the bound boy; and crawl up to
the Iront steps to ask your
brother lo shake hands with
you. Cood people are just as glad
today as glad today as ever they
were, to see a prodigal come home
but it does rattle them n little to
see him come home in a hack and
ask them to pay the driver and
send for his baggage.
UNREQENERATE.
"It was to satisfy your extrava
gant tastes," cried the desperate
man, "that I committed the for
gery. The crime is upon your
head."
The woman started and gazed
at him wonderingty : "Is my
crime on straight ?" she asked.

ON THE SENATORS.
The wit of Bishop Seth Ward
amuses Nashville frequently.
Bishop Ward, in company with
two senators, came forth from a
Nashville reception the other day
and entered a motarcar.
"Ah, bishop," said one of his
companions, "you are not like
your master. He was content to
ride an ass."
"Yes, and so should I be,"
Bishop Ward answered, "but
there's no such animal to be got
nowadays. They make them all
senators."

LAUGHTER.
"Pull lip the Curtain, Doctor, I'm
Afraid to Oo Home In The
Dnrk."
! He can be said to have won
the game of life who at the last
; can laugh. It was no blasphe
my, hut a fur vision of Niez
: ches's, thai led him to say that
last savior who would come to
mankind would laugh instead
of weep. That final speech
, of (I. Henry, the short-story
! writer, was finer than any story
he ever wrote. Justus he was
! dying he turned to the doctor
and said: "Pull up the cur
tain, Doc, I'm afraid to go
home in the dark." The speech
had in it wide courage and a
sense of values. One forgives
the royal Charles much frivol
ity for the sake of his dying
speech. "Gentlemen, I fear
Pm an unconscionable time a
dying," and any one who has
suffered much alone knows all
the pathos and fun in the crip
pled Heine's complaint that it
was too bad of the German phi
losophers to obolish God "for
who, pray," said he "who am
I to groan to at night after my
wife has gone to sleep, if there 1
is no God?" j
In youth we are whole and i
vigorous and trustful of this ,
enveloping life, we may easily
prefer tragedy. We indulge a
brave desire to understand life
and to know it at its worst.
No rectified and decorated
world, no polite reserves, will
assuage our thirst for reality.
We are obtue enough and sound
enough to hear the highest
pitch of anguish; indeed, it
takes ti good deal of sensation
to rouse our feelings, so thick
ly are we incased in coursing
blood and wholesome flesh.
But there comes a time when
the luckiest among us, hears
the scars, if not the open gashes
of the battle. The good. strong
bones that hold us upright and
gave our eyes a level glance
across the field of life, are
mashed and broken on the
wheel or bent by labor, and
then we ask for illusions, for
comedy, for diversion, but
above all laughter; sane,
cour
ageous laughter. Broken, bur

When Gertrude Hoffman and
her company were playing here a
week ago, one of her "broillers," ,
who had unknowingly stopped at
a boarding house in Pittsburg
where there had been smallpox,
went up to a physician to be vac
cinated. She was very anxious to have it
where the scar wouldn't show or
be exposed when she appeared on
the stage.
"Ah, yes," said the M. D.,
stroking his beard. "What is
your business ?"
"Why, I'm with Gertrude Hoff
man. One of her dancing girls,
you know."
"Well," said the man of medi
cine, as he laid down the virus,
"1 guess if that's the case you'll
have to take it internally."

A lawyer tells a story of an acci

in which a farmer's cart was struck i
and demolished and the farmer in-!
iured.
"I was counsel for the railway,"
says the lawyer, "and I won the case
for the defense mainly on account
of the testimony of an old colored
man, who was stationed at the
crossing. When asked if he had
swung his lantern us a warning
the old man swore postively :
" 'I surely did.'
"After I had won the case I
called on the old negro," says the
lawyer, "and complimented him ;
upon his testimony. He said : i
" 'Thankee, Marse Jawn, I got j
along all right; but I was awfully j
scared, 'cause I was 'fraid dat j
lawyer man was goin' ter ask me j
was my lantern lit. De oil done ,
