Boun' to die

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

jpathos; the simple philosophy, ao pic

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',

It's almost mornin',

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."

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

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.
