FOR OLD MAMMY. v . v. N(1T SO RAI)
The Old Itluik Mammy Will Never
lie Forgotten Hy the Children
She Tenderly Cared in the Days
dune By.
I tie chord of att'echon between
i I tie black mummy and her white
: folks has often heen well nigh as
strong us the feeling between
! motlier and child. Some time ago
i old Aunt Amanda, a negro mummy,
: lay dying in u New Orleans hospi
; tal. In the old days she was a
: slave in one of the sugar parishes
! of Louisiana. When her beloved
i mistress died, she cared as tenderly
i for the children of the dead wo
i man as she could. The family
scaitered, the two daughters mak-
ing their homes in Louisiana, and
; the son going to Chicago. The
news of the mortal illness of the
"Old Mammy" brought to her
bedside one of her old mistress's
; daughters who was weighted down
with the responsibilities of her own
i large family. The other daughter,
: unable to leave, sent her friend, a
i Christian minister, to offer prayer
; for and to administer the sacra
; njent to the dying woman. The
; son, who lives in Chicago, received
i news in Pittsburg of her impend-
ing end, while on a business trip,
and at once journeyed to New Or-
leans to see his old mammy before
1 she died. This same son, some
' years before, relinquished his share
in his father's estate, so that his
old mammy might be cared for in
her declining days. Old mammy
went peacefully to sleep, happy in
the love of Ole Miss's chillun.
Hers was the simple faith and hers
the kind heart that memory holds
in honor forever.
SHE'S YOURS.
"So you want to marry my only
daughter?"
"Yes, sir."
"Got any money saved up?"
"Yes, sir."
"Could you let me have $5,000
on my unsecured note?"
"I could, but I wouldn't."
"I guess you can lake care of
her, all right. She's yours, my
boy, and here's a five-cent cigar."

While walking through a crowded downtown sireet the other day,
I heard a linle urchin to his comrade turn and say :
"Say, Jimmy, let me tell youse, I'd be happy as a clam
If I only w as de feller dat me ntudder links I am
"Gee, Jim, she links dat I'm a wonder, and she knows her linle lad
Could never mix wid noihiif dai was ugly, mean or bad.
Lots er times I sits and links how nice 'twould be, gee whi,
If a feller only was de fellerd.n his mudder links he is!"
My friends,' be yours a life of toil or undiluted joy,
You still can learn a lesson from this small unlettered boy.
Don't aim to be an earthly saint with your eyes fixed on a star;
Just try to be the feller that your mother thinks you are.
WHAT MIGHT BE DONE,
What might be done if men were w ise
What glorious deeds, my suffering brother,
Would they
In love and right.
And cease their scorn of one another.
Oppression's heart might be imbued
Willi kindling drops of loving kindness;
And knowledge pour
l'rom shore to shore
Light on the eyes of mental blindness.
All slavery, warfare, lies, and wrongs,
All vice and crime might die together;
All wine and corn
To each man born,
He free as warmth in summer weather
The meanest wretch thai ever trod,
The deepest sunk in guilt and sorrow ,
Might stand erect
In self-respect
And share the teeming world to-morrow
What might be done? This might be don,
And more than this, my suffering brother
More than the tongue
H'er said or sung,
If men were w ise and loved each other.

At The Shop of the Hunchback '
by Dr. Frank Crane.
. Why, said my fnend, the hunch- j
back, should I complain because
my back is not so straight as yours? :
It simply means tliat in one respect ;
I am inferior to you. Rut then in :
ottier respects you are possibly in-!
ferior io me. !
The most widespread trail of
men is inferiority. Lverybody is ;
inferior ai some point in his per- i
sonaliiy io everybody else he
meets. Why should I care if mine
is in my physical shape'-'
The judge on thd bench may be
inferior in lovable human qualities
io the prisoner he condemns.
The preacher in the pulpit may I
be inferior in intellectual honesty !
and genuine moral courage lo the j
sinner in the pew.
The plain girl may have vastly j
more womanliness and richness of
soul than the pretty girl. !
Tom, at school, is humiliated be- j
cause he cannot jump so far, run !
so fast, nor play baseball so well as I
Dick; but Dick cannot devour j
arithmetic like Tom. !
Why should any one whine be- j
cause of what he is not, when there j
is enough that he is; or why should ;
he bemoan what he cannot do, in-1
stead of being delighted over what
he can do ?
Life may be contemplated from
the valley of one's defects or from
the peak of one's excellencies.
Old wold casie and rank should !
teach something to us free children
of democracy. Their system of
grading was false, but it repre
sented an eternal truth; that while
there are those above us there are
those below us. The Lnglish but
ler in a lord's house would be mis
erable if there were in his world
only those lo whom he must bow '
low and speak softly, but his spirit ;
is refreshed by the underlings be
neath him whom he can browbeat
to his heart's content.
I have no great moneys like the
rich man in the big house yonder,
but then I have a linle sister w ho
loves me for no reason or gain at
all, who lives for me and would
die for me. If the rich man knew
about her he would envy me.
Though my back is crooked I
have many marvelous and extra
ordinary gifts, l-'or instance, I am
contented. I know dozens of peo
ple who are spending money by
the shovelfuls to attain content
ment, and I have it for no price at
all.
I am free, that is, I owe no man
anything, I am not bound io please
people I do not care for, and no
one tells what I must do. I keep
my shop here, just Jenny and I,
and we make a living. Think of
the myriads of human souls held
in leash by other souls one way or
j another!
Then 1 have a collection, not of
china, nor oil paintings, nor jew els,
j but of most comfortable tastes. I
I like to read, and books are cheap
j and libraries free. I like music
and have the price of tickets to the
j concerts. 1 like sunshine, and
! there is the liberal sun pouring in
at my window. 1 like my dog and
he worships me. I like a glass and
i a pipe in the evening and a genial
crack ai arguments with my friends,
j A man that has accumulated,
tamed and trained tastes enough to
keep him interested in living and
happy in his days and nights is the
I real millionaire

A WOMAN'S NEW SHOES.
'Mercy, Mow Loose They Arc.''
When a woman has a new pair
of shoes sent home she performs
altogether different from a man.
She never shoves her toes into
them and bawls uniil she is red in
the face and all out of breath and go
stamping and kicking around, but
pulls them on half way carefully,
twitches them off again to take a
last look and see if she has got the
right one, pulls them on again,
looks at them dreamily, says they
are just right then lakes another
look, stops suddenly lo smooth
out a wrinkle, twists around and
surveys t hem sideways, exclaims;
"Mercy! how loose they are,"
looks ai them again square in front
works her foot around so they
won't hurt her quite so much,
takes them off looks at them, looks
at tne neel, tne bottom anu the in
side, puis them on again, walks up
and down the room once or twice,
remarks to her better half thai she
won't have them at any price, lilts
down the mirror so she can see
how they look from that way, backs
off, steps up again, takes thirty or
forty farewell looks, says they
make her feet awful big and never
will do in the world, puts them on
and off three or four times more,
asks her husband what he thinks
about it, and then pays no atten
tion to what he says, goes through
it all again, and finally says she
will take them.
Dan .1. .loyce, Sanville, Henry county,
Virginia, says: "I took a cold with a
coutfli which hutiK on for two years.
Then I commenced usim: Foley's Honey
and Tar Compound and the coul'Ii lin
