THE completion of the railroad hyphen

mel Of trade in the South in competition
with the natural channel down the Missis-
sippi valley. In the not far distant future
this new outlet TO the Gulf will command
the Southern traffic of the entire country
except that portion which can afford to wait
the economy and delay of water transpor-

counted for by the correlative fact that the
harbor at Pensacola is the finest, safest and
most capacious, as well as the deepest, OH

THE Republicans in the Senate will rally
TO the support of the Conservative anti-con-
traction financial policy under the leader
ship of Senator CARPENTEB, and in the
House they will do the same thing under
the leadership of Messrs. Fort and PRICE.
This situation is exceedingly disappointing
to the Democracy, for it disposes of the

raised and behind which they had hoped
to hide their abhorrent misdeeds If any
change is to be made in our existing finan-
cial system, it will be forced upon the coun-

This is sober truth. Sectionalism is un-

long as one section disregards Constitu-

SEPTEMBER.

SEPTEMBER.
II. II. IN sCRIBNER.
The golden rod is yellow;
The corn is turning brown;
Tho trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentians blucst fringes
Are curling in the sun;
In dusty pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges tlaunt their harvest,
In every meadow nook;
And asters by the hrookside
Make asters in the brook.
From dewy lanes at morning
The grapes sweet oders rise;
At noon the roads all fin tier
With the yellow butterflies.
BY all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of weather,
And autumn's best of cheer.
But none of all this beauty
Which foods the earth and air,
Is unto me the secret,
Which makes September lair.
'Tis thing W hich remember;
To name it thrills me yet;
One day of one September
l never can forget.

THE ARMLESS ARTIST.

Caesar Ducorent was born in Life,
France, January 13, 1906. Born as he
was without arms, what was he to do,
only four toes, but he early learned to use
them to advantage. When very young,
he could with case throw a ball, cut with
q knife, and draw lines on the floor with
chalk, and could even cut figures on pa
per with his mothers scissors. He early
became a good penman. From this he
passed to drawing, and naturally enough
co painting, the wide space between his
great toe and the next enabling him to
grasp his brushes firmly. At the age OF
thirteen his progress astonished Vatican,
professor CT the school of design, Lille,
W no rece1veu lin pnpil. Tbroo years
later he took the first prize for drawing
of the human figure from nature. He was
of lively temperament, and when in
conversation he became animated, was in
the habit of gesticulating with his legs,
as others do with their arms.
Some one has described n visit to his
paintiny-room, which is very Interesting:
'Across the whole extent of the canvass
ran, with incredible gility like a fly upon
the wall, the stunted trunk of u man,
su,mounted by a noble head, with expan-
s:ve brow and eye Of fire; and wherever
the apparation passed along the canvass
he left the traces Of color behind him.

saw then that he was eeprived of arms,
that he had no thighs, that his soort legs
We're closely united to his body, and that
each of his feet wanted a toe. BY one oi
his feet he held a palette, by the other q
pencil; in his mouth also he carried a
large brush and a second pencil. Aud i.
all this harness he moved, and rolled, ano
writhed, and painted in manner more
than marvellous! A voice, musical, grave
sonorous, saluting us by name, invited us
to be seated. Then the apparaton glid-
ed down the whole length of the scatfolt
to the ground, advanced, or rather rolled
towards us, and with bound established
himself on the sofa at our side. We
watched him with interest, and had :
long conversation with him. He told IL
he had been born without arms, and ha'
been painter ten years and was nov
making money by his art. He uses hi
feet with almost as much case as peopl
do their hands. He wrote his name wit
great rapdity and well, and told us II

A LAUGHABLE INCIDENT.

Two hands on the Cunard steamer SEQ
tia were engaged the other day in 1olllng
off u cask, when, to the Consideration
and surprise of the persons so occupied,
and a number of bystanders, a voice was
heard within the cask:
"Roll IL easy, these plaguy nails hurt.
I'd rather pay my passage than stand all
this"
Holding up their hands, their visuals
EXPANDED to the size of two saucers, tho
laborers exclaimed:
"That beats the dickens"'
The mate cane up at this moment,
and, unaware of the cause of delay, COM
mcnced cursing them for their dilatori-

came forth:
''You're nobody let me out of this"
"What's that ?" asked the mate.
"Why ISIS me-" sold the voice" ''I

the entire crew werc leaning over the

INV friend. "Come, Professor, let's go.'
And so we strolled along the dock to-

a TURKISH VIXEN OF HIGH RANK
When Shah Sultana, sister to Sclim I'LL,

highness established the superiority OF her
rank: over her husband in 4 summary

of the fiery and capricious character OF
