But I wondered, if I left , her, who would

But there warn't so much in farmin, or in
drivin cows to milk; j
It kept me down to cotton jeans an' Mary

Would they come up

I remember, it was spring tinic-j-'bout the

COURAGE AND COWARDICfr
1 11 ' - -r
The Man of Adject Ear May - Be a
I i Nervous Invalid. !
There is an old. and jOften told
story of the. officervhp daimed
more fcredit for his )wn conduct
under fire than for that of his men.
They1
were not alraid: and so
'it-.. : ' I i
they
"but
1 didn't run away, , although I
was most damnably afraid.!1 The
reoson of that contention' is one
that is-generally admitted,' and the
world is not slow to acknowledge
the virtue of the constitutional
coward whose courage lies in his
force of will, for there is such a
thing as constitutional cowardice,
and it can be conquered if a man's
spirit: is greater than' the tremor of
his nerves. ' 1
When the natural tremor is the
stronger 4 a ad overcomes his will
then J we write him down a' coward.!
But what can be ' said '. of the man
who makes no effort at all and cares
not ih the least whether
he be call
ed a coward lor not? As
'11- ;'H
yet lone
connpt believe that there are many
such men. but at the. same time it
. . .... ... j - , , f, f ... , '
is" impossible to ignore the fact that
instances of i this weak surrender,
are growing more plentiful, j and
that there is the same tendency tq
palliate cowardice that
to palliate drunkenness
novv seeks
and crimed
In the old days the drunkard and
the thief ; were not overtenderly
handled. : It was held that they
sinned through what we Americans
call 'j'cussedhess," and it Was judg
ed that cuisedness could best be
: i -
cured by being whipped or put in
the pillory or otherwise istrongly
repressed.
Now it has been discovered that
the poor sinners are afflicted with
mental disease, and serious doubts
are cast on the humanity of forci
ble restraint, even though that res
traint takes the mild form of .short
terms'of imprisonment. With much
more truth might.it be represented
that the coward cannot Vcdmmand
his nerves, and that as a nervous
invalid he rather merits pfty than-
contempt. Such a vievv. may. be
more humane and charitable, but it
is far from being expedient. By
all means let us hold it, if we . will,
with' regard to a particular ' coward
here and there, but heaven forbid
that we should ever hold it with re-
. j' j - - i .")
gard to cowardice in general!; It is
not in the least likely that we ever.
shall do so, for the results would be
so. immediate and so deplorable that
; 1 t i . : i' i 1
a healthy reaction iwoiild very soon
set in. I
Florida will put 2,'36o,ooo pineapples on
the market this year; j
if VOTE l. THE TICKET,
If ; there, is any reason why the
Democrats should be turned ; down
this " year, then don't hesitate to
yotelfor that result: But if there
is np just reason, it would be bad
pbHcr to .do ;sqJ A: j voter should
consider those two things before he
casts his ballot in November. ' If
after; consideration the voter de
cides that the Democrats have
governed this State extravagantly
and Shiftlessly, then he should vote
against them. If, however, he finds
that the State government has been
administered: - economically and
carefully, he should beware how he
votes into power a party that has
rievef been tried, or put back into
povvE?r a party that came near run
ning ihe State in 1867-76. 7 T
Ifj he finds that the Democratic
party have" reduced the expenses of
the State government, so as to re
duce ' the tax on property from
eighty-six cents on the hundred, to
twenty-tw.d therihe should beware
how he "turns 'that party out and
puts in : new nanas. ir ne nnas,
'that, during a term of twenty years,
there 4iave been no scandals or sus-
picions of scandal connected with
the Democratic administration of
the State government, then he
should hesitate before, he casts in
his help to turn them out and? put-
untried menln. I
In an investigation along that line,
one will nnd tnat tne uemocrats
have always bben true to the trust
placed in them, especially in. this
State. . They have 'run the
government on economical
and will continue to do so. :
State
plans
Then why vote to turn them out? .
Are!. the Populists nominees better?
-. ! n . . - i . . - i
Verily,' they themsel ves can j make
no such claim. Then what should
one aor 1 now snouia one
vote?
The safe thing is to vote the ticket
that the Democrats have nominat-'
ed. Ex.
