MY MOTHERS HANDS.

Such beautiful, beautiful handsl
They're neither white nor small;
- nd you, know, would scarcely think
That they are fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue
A sculptor's dream might be;
Yet are those aged, wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me-
such beautiful, beautiful hands!
Though heart were weary and sad,
Those patient hands kept toiling on.
That the children might be glad

To childhOod's distant day,
think how those hands rested not
When mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful handsl
They're growing feeble now
For time and pain have left their mark
On hands, and heart and brow
Alas alas! the nearing time,
And the sad, sad day to me.
When meath the daisies. out of sight.
These hands will folaed be-
But oh, beyond this shadow land,
Where all is bright and fair
L know full well these dear old hands
viii palms of victory bear;
Where crystal streams through endless wears
Flow over golden sands.
And where the old grow young again,
Ill clasp my mothers hands.

Captain Louis Fields in Jail on the charge
of having recently murdered John A. Will
liams at the county asylum, in the course
of a short conversation with an American
reporter yesterday remarked that he came
here as a race rider for Abner Bierce, of
Kentucky, in 1918, and that he won race
on a horse called "Old Hippy," called so on
account of his ankle joint having been
knocked out of place. The competing horse,
Stumptadela, was backed by Gen. Andrew
Jackson. The race was run on Clover Bottom,
a short distance from Nashville on the
Lebanon Pike. He said, 81 bet Old Hickory
that I'd win it, but he was so positive that
1 couldn't do it that he bet me 81 ,S00 and
paid it over like gentleman"
Fields learned the tailors trade in Nash
vile, worked at it in England, Scotland,
France, Germany, and has in fact, travelled
almost over the world. He was born in
Buncomb county, North Carolina, January
10. 1902 He said he was old and lonesome,
and would be glad to be visited by some of
the old citizens who had known him in
his better days.

Oh, what is happiness, when fear
Starts like pale unbidden ghost
That steals across the banquet hall
And spills the draught we long for most.
For when look at her il comes,
The fear that she may leave us soon
So perfect in the morning light,
How can the blossom last till noon?
The soft and shining baby hair
Seems but nimbus round the brow;
The sweet amazement of the eye
ASKS what they do in heaven now.
/ marvel what they do there, too,
Without her in that far, still land;
/ tremble lest turn and see
Great angles in the sunbeam stand
Great angles, whose departing wings
Shall spread "A shadow on the air,
Since having earth SO bright, fear
Heaven be not heaven without her there.
