She Was "Patsy. "
We think the following a
sweet little story for girls and
boys, and in fact anyone. It is
taken from the Atlanta Consti
tution of June 26th :
A pretty little girl, elegantly
dressed, a perfect ray of sun
i shine, stepped out of a fine car-
I riage t.'iat stopped opposite the
I police barracks yesterday after
noon aud asked an officer to di
rect her to the office of the chief
of police. There was a lady in
the carriage, but she kept out
of sight. The little girl tripped
lightly up the stone steps and
walked into chief Ball's office.
"Is this the chief of police?"
a voice sweet enough to belong
to a choir of woodland choris
ters, asked.
"I am the chief," replied
Chief Ball, "and I will be
pleased to have my pretty visw
tor take a seat."
"Oh, no," she replied, shak
ing her head until the golden
hair rippled like sun-kissed
waves, "I can't stay but a very
little while. I came here to tell
you what a thankful little girl I
am. You don't know me, per
haps, but maybe will remember
a poor little child who was tak
en from a hovel a few years ago
by the good policemen. She
was known then as Patsy, and
she sold matches sometimes and i
picked up rags and old papers i
at other times. She was a poor, j
miserable, and very, very
wretched little girl. Her moth
er died aud her father had run
away and she was living with
an old woman on Marietta
street who drank whiskey. The
good policeman found her and
she was taken away from the
horrid old woman and placed
in a home. Then one day a
kind lady saw her and she said
she wanted a little girl. So
ishe was adopted and since then
she has had a good home and
the de»reet, sweetest mother in
all the world."
"And you were little Patsy?"
the chief asked.
"Yes, I was poor little
Patsy," she replied as a tear
almost dimmed the bright blue
eyes. And I came here to tell
you how thankful I am for
what the good policeman did
for six years ago. Mamma, who
is down stairs in the carriage,
said she wanted me to thank
you for her, too."
"I am sure," said the chief
as his pretty visitor was about
to leave, "that the police of At
lanta never did a better piece of
work and we are very proud
and happy to know that Patsy
has been so bountifully blessed."
The child laid a bunch of
roses on the chief's desk and
slipped away.
It would not be right to give
her present name. She was
once poor little Patsy, a waif,
but Patsy is dead and in her
place there reigns as happy a
little girl as ever carried with
Iter sunshine into an Atlanta
home.

The Effect of Judicious Reading
The American people are j
so busy getting money that they j
have little time, as they think, j
to give to judicious- reading.
But reading is conductive of the
highest results. On this sub
ject The Christian Century has
these wise words: "Wise
reading widens thought. It
lifts us out of our provincial
ism ; it makes hospitable to new
truths ; it keeps the cheek Irom 1
blanching with fear regarding!
the possible results oi investiga
tion and discussion. It engen
ders modesty ; for it leads us to
see the limitations of the hu
man mind; and to see that
truth is the same in substance
in ail ages, that only its custom
changes, and that therefore!
originality is only a relative
term. It leads to tolerance.
A widely informed man is sel
dom dogmatic, never intokt
ant. He knows that every
thinker sees only in part; that
God's truth is larger than man'sj
thought; and that what we call,
new departures are merely ;
stages in the evolution of truth.
Above all it promotes intellect
ual independence. A widely;
and deeply road man learns to,
do his thinking. He ;
the truth over again in his own :
brain. His convictions are I
'homebrewed. He takes noth
ing secoud hand. He looks at
the Bible through his own eyes
and not through the spectacles
of commentators. He is in 110
haste to put the top-stone upon
his theological edifice. He be
lieves that there is something
still to learn. He stands ready
to receive the new light which
is vet to break forth from God's
word and works. —Ex.
Old Soldier's Experience.
M. M. Austin, a civil war
veteran, of Winchester, Tna.,

What are Riches ?
One of the richest men in the
world, who is now engaged in
the t-i"?k of giving his wealtii
away, has just thrown a queer
sidelight upon the question as
to what are riches.
The New York World pursued
Mr. Carnegie to his castle at
Sicido. The correspondent
writes :
As we drove down to the sta
tion 1 was saving how I envied
him his wealth.
He said "I am not to be en
vied. How can my wealth
help me? lam sixty years old
and I cannot digest my food.
1 would give you all my millions
if you could give me youth and
health."
Then I shall never forget bis
next remark-. We had driven
some yards in silence, when
Mr. Carnegie suddenly turned
and in hu-dicd voice and _wiih
bitterness and the depth of feel
ing quite indescribable said :
''lt I couid make Faust's bar
gain I would. 1 would gladly
sell anything to have half my
life over again."
And 1 saw his hands clinch
as he spoke.
By this standard it will be
"seen that there are times when
goltl is a nightmare not worth
the pursuing. A«clear sky, a
green field, a sight of water,
perfect health, with eyes to see
and faculties to enjoy, the poor
est man, so far as money goes,
becomes a prince when com
pared to the worn-out dyspeptic
unable to enioy a meal and
sated with the pleasures of life.
The power of enjoyment fat
surpasses the fact of posession,
just as anticipation furnishes
more pleasure than the realiza
tion. We, are after all, but
creatures of imagination, better
pleased when viewing the pic
ture than when in a position to
turn the key and lock it from
sight.

JIM BAILEY LYNCHED MM.
THE NEGRO BRUTE MET THE
FATE HE SO RICHLY DE
SERVED-DENIED THE
CRIME.
SmittitieUl Ilerahl.
Tuesday afternoon about six
miles southeast of town, a most
heinous crime was committed
on the person of Maude Strick
land. the 13 year old daughter
of Mr. John W. Strickland, a
highly respected farmer, by
Jim Bailey, a negro brute about
20 years of The negro
was captured and justice was
promptly meted out to him.
The story of tli3 horrible af
fair is about as follows : Miss
.Maude Strickland, accompanird
bv a little girl eight or nine
years old, left her home about
noon to carry dinner to her
t'other and brothers who were
working on a farm about two
miles away. As they went on
they saw the negro, Jim Bailey,
plowing in a field near the road
side. They remained at the
farm for sometime and started
back home about four o'clock.
As they came opposite the field
where Bailey had been plowing,
they saw him walking along
the road in the same direction
they were going Just as they
were about to pass him he
caught hold of Miss Strickland
and told the smaller girl te
leave them at once, accompa
nying his command with a mur
derous threat unless obeyed.
He then tied the girl and per
petrated that vilest of crimes.
He then released her and went
back to the field. The two
girls, getting together again,
hurried back to the field, about
one-half mile away, and report
ed the crime to Mr. Strickland.
Mr. Strickland, his two sons
and Griffin Brown, though un
armed, then hurried to the
scene and found the negro,
whom they all knew well, still
in the field. When they turned
towards him he started to run,
but changing their course and
appearing indifferent, he stop
ped and they soon approached
him. They charged him with
the crime and tried to take him.
He had a hatchet, and as they
| were unarmed* they could Hot
01.
capture him. He soon broke
j and run to where two negroes
! were at work in a field nearby,
j Hi? pursuers went on and told
the other nrgr os of the crime
and asked one of them to take
the hatchet frc-m him, which he
| did. B'.it they r.u\l not lake
him until on; of the Strieklai d
boys arrived wi-h a guu. He
'hen surrendered and was taken
to thv lu/uu.' of M". Whiiley.
Tin-re the girl told the horrible
s!ory of the crime.
The following stt ry of tl 
iynchir.g appeared in Rahigl
Pi:.-t of \esteroay r.nd was writ
ton by a staff correspondent win
came down \V; d need ay after
noon and vi-ited the scene of
the tragedy :
"From ihe Whitley residence
Mr. Strickland dispatched a
a.es-age ft r ex-Sheriff C. S
Powell, who livfd about two
, miles further on toward Smith
field. Ho wanted Mr. Powell
to -.dvise him as t » what should
be done. When he came he
was told the situation and heard
th. ,j story of the outrage from
the lips of Maude Strickland. Ai
the suggestion of Mr. Potvrll
Mrs. Whitley made an exami
nation of the child and report
ed that her condition showed
that lk nll that the child had
said was true, and more ; that
her condition was terrible, and
that the assault wa« certainly
the most brutal imaginable.
"By this time night was fast
approaching and Mr. Powell ad
vised that they carry the negro
to Smith field and deliver him
up to Sheriff Ellington so that
he could be put in jail for safe
keeping. They bound the brute
securely, hands and feet, and
then made him fast to his seat
in a buggy. Mr. Strickland
got in beside him to drive and
.ex-Sheriff Powell and Mr. Geo.
Strickland followed in a second
iniggy.
"It was nearly nine o'clock
when they started on the six
mile drive to Smithfield. A
heavy cloud overspread the sky
and there was an occasional fall
of rain.
"When-they reached a bend
in the road about two miles be
yond Mr. Powell's house they
were halted by a company of
men, all well masked and heav
ily armed. It was an ideal
place to waylay a traveller.
There is a dense pine and oak
wood on the right and a high
fence on the left side of the
road which at that point is
scarcely wide enough for two
vehicles to pass.
"About ten steps from the
road on the right side is an oak
tree with a strong limb branch
ing out about 12 feet above the
ground and stretching out at
right angle toward the road. It
was over this limb that the
lynchers threw the rope and
suspended their victim in mid
air.
"When the "Citizen's Com
mittee" stepped out from, their
ambush a squad' took hold of
each horse and surrounded the
buggies and then ordered Mr.
Strickland, Mr. Powell and Geo.
Strickland to "git." Mr. Pow
ell told me that as he and the
two Stricklands withdrew from
the scene the}- heard two or
three gurgling yells and excla
mations of ''Oh Lord have mer
cy," as the rope slid over a
limb and Jim Bailey's body,
bound baud arid feet, ascended
into mid air.
"I was told that not a shot
was fired and scarcely a word
uttered by any of the crowd of
lynchers during the time Strick
lands and Mr. Powell were in
hearing distance."
Mr. Powell came on to town
and reported the matter to the
sheriff, who then went to Selma
and getting the coroner, Dr.
Person, they proceeded to the
scene of the lynching. An in
quest was held and the body
cut down.
It is said that Bailey denied
any knowledge of the crime.
But lie was well known in that
section, his victim having
known him for years, and there
was no questioit as to his guilt.
He was brought here early
Wednesday morning where he
remained till late in the after
noon. He was buried at the
county's expense.
His father was apprised of
his death early Wednesday
morning but he did not come
near him.
There has been but little ex
citement about the matter.
Both white and colored seem to
think the lynching entirely jus
tifiable.
Such brutes can't meet death
too promptly, and especially
when there is no shadow of a
doubt as to their guilt. It is an
unwritten law of the land that
the black wretch who lays
hands in violence on a white
woman shall surely die.
