THE CALL OF THE SOCHI.
Uames R. Harris in Merchants Jour-
. naj and Commerce.
The spirit of the age has chang
ed. It is the beginning of the eud
of an era the end of an era of cen
tralization and congestion of popula
tion Every economic error tends of
itself to correction from within
rather than from without. The mad
rush for the cities has Blackened its
pace; "the tumult and the shouting"
grows lower in the busy marts of
trade. Thousands upon thousands
long to be "far from the madding
crowd's ignoble strife," and pause
to reflect if they would not be bet
ter off if they returned to the land
from which they hastened a few
years back, lured by the high prom
ise of the city.
The North is rilled to overflowing.
Say what you will, there is no "last
West. The pendulum has swung
back: the mighty movement has be
gun. Naturally the question will be
asked: "What will be the fairest
field for the endeavors of this vast
throng in the next decade?"
The logical solution of the prob
lem i3 the South. And though In
other less favored sections the cit
ies will not 6how aa much growth in
the future as in the past ten years, j
we predict that the cities of the
South will keep pace with her rural
districts and both will enjoy equal i
prosperity because there is not to- !
day an overcrowded metropolis in '
her whole domain, such as you will
find in other parts of the country.
The South sends her message of
hope to all men who want to get
ahead. Her opportunities are preg
nant with profit for the present and
the promise of a tremendous growth
sure to be an accomplished fact in
the not distant future.
Her prosperity outstrips her
growth in population. Her promises
uvea mio performance. Her doors
are open wide, not only to her own
people, but to the stranger within
her gates. Her latch-string is al
way out and her fields are full of
and red by night, where steel and
iron hold their sway. High Point
vies with Grand Rapids in her wood
working plants, Lynchburg with
Boston in the shoe trade, and Bir
mingham is a worthy sister of Pitts-
Durg. bo the thrilling story runs
through mining, manufacturing,
farming, transportation, trade, and
commerce.
It Is the story of a people favored
by climate and a thousand natural
advantages, coming into a fuller and
broader realization of the magnifi
cent potentialities of their own land.
The way has been hard and difficult.
But her people are awake. They
are pushing to the front. They wel
come the rest of their common
country to come and share their
good fortune with them. And the
next few years will witness a
growth which will be a revelation to
the rest of the wdrld.
To paraphrase:
"Southward the star of progress
takes her way,
Her first flush youth already pass
ed. But brighter, steadier in her later
day,
Her noblest effort Is her last."

Hit It Right.
Kegan Paul in his reminis
cences speaks in one case of his
bishop as "an astute and insincere
man," giving this instance of his in
sincerity: At a meeting of the cler
gy at Clapham his chaplain told him
that old Dr Blank, who had been
many years in the diocese, was
vexed at having been forgotten.
"Yes," said the bishop, "I have not
the smallest recollection of him, but
I will make it all right and will go
and speak to him. Which is he?"
He was pointed out, and the bishop
made his way to him. "My dear Dr.
Blank, I have not had a moment for
real conversation with you. I need
not ask you how you are after all
these years. Do you still ride your
gray mare?" "Yes, my lord. How
good of you to remember her!" etc.
The chaplain, who was within ear
shot, said when he again came near
the bishop, "Then you did remem
ber Dr. Blank after all ?" "Not a
bit of it," said the bishop. "I saw
the grav hairs on his coat, and I
chanced the sex."

otherwise it might have proved fatal.

Leeds is probably the most, cos

England, that of pottery being the
most ancient. This industry rose to
Borne eminence at one period, both

but now the onlv branch which re
mains is that of artistic majolica, in
which we find real works of art in
the choicest of designs and color
ing. Such productions, worthy of
special note, are the flower vases
and pedestals for the same, small
vases and other ornaments, and it is
doubtful if either the Moors, who
founded this industry, or the Ital

anything superior to the modern

The school managers were pres

was anxious that her scholars should
do well. She picked upon Tommy
as the most likely to do her credit.
Tommy's knees showed through his
trousers, and because the managers
were present Tommy sat with a
hand on each knee.
"Tommy," said the teacher, "will
you please give me" the teacher
was always polite when the man
agers were present "will you please
give me a sentence with the word
