m m THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK HA Des so dat tree fall Des so he lie Des so dat sinnerman live, De so he die. Old Br'er Ephriem Boun' to die Everybody Boun' to die. This was a safe proposition, and lasted with variations through the cata logue 'of the host. But after an hour or two available material for the mor tuary table was exhausted, and the death list became more general. He began to lump the frail mortal peculiar ities of the mill hands en masse. Not Caruso, nor the deep chested Scotti, :singing before royalty at $10,000 a note could approach the abysmal base or the volcanic rumble with which Rass an nounced that Tarbell's hands were bound to die. Tarbell ran a saw mill. CLARINDA rOSSUM It also happened that the hall was full of the labor employed by Robert and Henry Page, cutting in the neighbor hood. Unfortunately for the singer Aunt Clarinda Possum was also there. Harris might depict Uncle Remus with sume success, because he was a man. But mo earthly scribe could even .attempt to portray his feminine counter part the autocratic, fearless and homer ic auntie of the plantation kitchen. Language and vocabulary without known limit are at her command. Sciorn, laugh ter, sorrow, indignation, fury and the utmost of human kindness find expres sion in rapid succession. No man dare race her; her pride is the equal or. a queen's. And all these things are backed up ion the slightest provocation by a process known as jrettinsr her African up. It is equal to bringing up the 42 centimetre guns. It is enough. She rules Now since the mind of man runs not to the contrary she had presided over the destinies of the Page family. She was the especial providence that required due respect and homage to them, her particular wards. She was of the house of Tage, as Elizabeth was of the house of Tudor. And all pertaining thereto was inviolate. BREAKS UP THE MEETING Now while she swayed her goodly bulk 'to the danger of the studding, and imoaned mightily, and with infinite sow row and fealing crooned at the proper intervals "Boun' to die,'' suddenly she heard the miserable black leader saying "Pages hands are boun' to die." This wras something else. With a bound that scattered the picaninnies she started her terrible progress towards the door. The spell of the song, the lilt of the harmony held her, ao that she advanced in six eight time, emphasizing every third step with a thud, jerking her head back to keep time with the cadence, somewhat after the fashion of May Irwin, shout ing at every verse, "Gwine tell Mr. iBOB; gwine tell Mr. Hen-REE." THE DARKY CREED Well, what about it. Only this. That Iiere it all is music, religion, comedy, jpathos; the simple philosophy, ao pic turesque and often so truej character and burlesque of character the whole .play. For interest in life, for the dra- and the matic and the comic, instruction diversion, I recommend you to colored brother. Who but he could re duce salvation to the pure and simple terms we find embodied in their favorite song hereabouts: When the foot strikes Zion, With the lights all lit along the. shore We'll bid old Hell A long farewell With the lights all lit along the shore For it's almost mornin', Lan't you hear them Shanghys criowin ' ? It's almost mornin', Time that we wuz goin'. foimple. But quite true. Felicia Hemans wrote volumes and said no more The Stranger "Who's that stranger, mother dear? Look! he knows us ain't he queer ?; "Hush, my own, don't talk so wild; He's your father, dearest child!" "He's my father? No such thing! Father died away last Spring ! ' ' "Father didn't die, you dub! Father joined a golfing club. But they've closed the club, so he Had no place to go, you . see No place left for him to roam That is why he's cominsr home. Kiss him he won't bite you, child, All them golfing guys look wild." fn.ru. Albert C. A born YTina The Silver Foils The Silver Foils foregathered to take a fall out of Colonel Bogey last week, and when the score was tallied up Mrs. Albert C. Aborn, New York, had the old fellow five down. Mrs1. Aborn paying with a handicap of 10 beat Miss Beall with 15 by one point. Mrs. C. F. Lancaster of Boston was a good third, coming in three up. The complete record was as follows: Mrs. A. C. Aborn, New York Miss Priscilla Beall, Uniontown Mrs. C. F. Lancaster, Boston Mrs. W. E. Truesdell, Brooklyn Mrs. G. M. Howard, Halifax Mrs. L. E. Beall, Uniontown Mrs. Splane Mrs. D. G. Ross, Holyoke Miss Lucy Priest, Pinehurst Mrs. Spencer Waters, New York 5 down Miss Helen Andrews, Akron 8 down Miss Caroline Fuller, New York 9 down Mrs. F. S. Danforth, Orient 10 down 5 up 4 up 3 up 1 up down down down down down Captured Miss Helen Parmelee got him. Whether this is the same old veteran that has been escaping destruction and acquiring fame as a nimble climber of trees history fails to relate. But it is definite upon the point that the last fox hunt resulted in a brush now hanging as a trophy at Miss Parmelee 's saddle. Miss O. Slade and Master Neill Chapin, Dr. Marr, the inder fatigable, and George Leach, master of hounds, were there to witness. Send The Outlook to friends! It tells the story and saves letter writing!
