MIDSUMM Err.

Beautiful midsummer. welcome again
The fields rejoice In thy gladsome reign,
With haryests Of ripened and golden grain.
The glad free winds stir the Summer air,
Scattering the fragrance so rich they bear,
Like incense stealing from cen'ors rare,
The birds their happiest songs still sing,
Fitting on busy yet tireloss wing,
As In the tender and by gone Spring.
The day is distant when pale and dead
The blossoms lie on each lowly bed,
And the trees their emerald beauty shed.
Yet, o, sweet soul, while the blilhe winds blow
And the glad streams murmur In oeaseless how
Prepare for the season OF frost and snow.
Gather 10 easing Of golden seed
Which, sown with care, in thine hour Of need
May ripen harvest Of joy indeed
These hours of splendor that God hath lent,
II In patient love be for others spent,
Al last may bring to the calm content.
Beautiful midsummer, linger near,
TIN we learn, o fairest Of all the year.
Thy tender lessons in hope and fear.

MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY
July 18th, 1891

July 18th, 1891 d.
To the Editor of the CApITOMAN:
Since the advent Of the current
year, the minds of the superstitious
have been much exercised over the
predictions of Mother Shipton. The
abnormal heat, the flaming comet,
the Washington tragedy, have all
helped to convince them that the year
1881 is to be one of great disaster, if
not one of general destruction, and
the supernatural wisdom of "Mother
Shipton' is readily contided in by the
credulous. 1t may therefore not be
out of place to publish the following
extract from the Alhendum of June
18th, and set at rest the minds of the
people,
'In Il booking of sixty -four small
quarto pages called "Mother Ship
ton investigated" Mr., w. H. Harri-
sou of Museum Street, London, has
brought together all that can be col
lected regarding that mythical per-
sonage who goes 10y the name of
"Mother Shipton," 1t seems that for
two or three hundred years or so,
there has been floating mass of more
or less foolish stuff, which credulous
people call prophecy attributed to
Mother Shipton-and which has
steadily been growing in bulk as a
matter of course. This rubbish re-
cfived a very notable accession when

Charleston News, that for some time
past Senator Hampton has been col
lecting full data in regardto the burn
ing of Columbia, in order to settle
once for all the responsibility Of the
crime upon Sherman in such way
that he cannot escape the conviction
of the world; and in view Of Sher-
mans recent denial, it is presumed
that the publication of the evidence
will be made at an early day"

HENDERSON, TEXAS, July lion
last Saturday Bohemian living in
this county went from home, taking
all his family with him except a little
girl about nine years old. When he
returned in the evening he found the
child lying dead on the floor. Her
neck was broken, her skull crushed
in and her body covered with cuts
and bruises. A negro girl was ar
rested on suspicion of committing the
deed, but an examination proved her
entire innocence. At present there is
not the slightest clew, and the citizens
ofthe county are greatly excited over
the mysterious affair.

on the 7th of December 1872, there
appeared in notes and queries what
purported to be an "ancient predic-
ton" published in l445, and repub-
lished in l64l by "Mother Shipton."
That such dull doggerel should ever
have been taken as serious, or accep-
ted as the genuine language Of the
18th century, not to mention the 18th
is sufficiently surprising, but the IAN
cient prediction" finished up with an
awful climax:
1.-THE world to an end shall come,
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one."
This terrific denunciation has been
exercising the public mind. Our read
ers will be relieved when they learn
that the ancient prediction" was
hoax, and that on the 26th Of April
1873, Mr.. Chas. Hindley of Brighton,
wrote to the editor Of notes and quer-
les and made a clean breast of haring
fabricated the whole prophecy.

hills except on the south side, and the

great object is to keep back the
blooming as long as possible, and this

We had a good view Of the hoodlum
element of New Orleans, last Sum
day evening, on our return from the
West End lake resort. We stepped
into crowded car in which we
found one vacant seat beside young
fellow who, somewhat sleepy, was
reclining against the car while his
right foot rested on the seat we COW
eted. We will do justice to his friends
by stating that on our approach to-
wards the seat, one Of them told the
slumberer, ''put down your d-n
hoof!" a summons that was promptly
obeyed. We sat down to see our
neighbors bang each others heads
with their hats. This exhibition of
their playfulness caused us to appre-
bend that before the evening was
over, our neighbors might include us
in their game. To avoid anything
unpleasant we concluded to wait for
the next train, on the arrival of which
we rushed in with the crowd hoping
that we might make the landing
safely then. We started for vacant
seat, when the occupant Of the ada
cent one, an ugly looking customer,
told us roughly, "you can't have that
seat" is it taken, we said? "Yer
can't have it,"
| We didn't have our war paint on
at the time, and concluded besides
that it wouldn't be paying invest
ment to engage in melee for the OBJ
ject Of enjoying seat next to such a
brute, so that we promptly accepted
another which gentlemanly passen-
ger courteously offered us beside him
Fully one-half of the crowd was
composed of the class we have de.
scribed. They seemed to be masters
of the situation and totally unmind.
full of the presence of the ladies ani
children. There were no policemen
and the b'hoys had it all their owl

We had been told before going tt

that place belonged to the hoodlums
We have given this illustration as ;
sample of what goes on on such even
ings, with the hope that the railroad
company, in it's own interest, if TO-
no other reason, will adopt some
method by which travel on thei
trains will be made less disgusting.

WASHINGTON, July ll.-Commis-
missioner Raum says: "Oue of the
greatest abuses under the government
exists in connection with the internal
revenue service. It is the institution
of trihing but vexatious suits for the
sake of fees resulting to district at
torneys, marshals and commissioners,
to say nothing of witnesses" Com
missioner Raum says he has been
trying for Il long time to break up
this practice, but unsnccessfully. He
proposes that Congress substitute sal,
aries for fees for marshals and dis
trict attorneys and thus remove tils
temptations to bring trivial suits.
This cannot be done before next win
ter. Meantime an effort will be made
through the United States District
courts to secure from United States
commissioners regular reports of all
cases brought before them; so that the
government may have ample infor-
nation respecting internal revenue
suits in their incipiency and thus
avoid the necessity for expensive spe
cial investigation in suspected cases
ofabuses of power by commissioners.
The abuses to which Gen. Raum re-
fers have long been the subject O
great complaint all over the South.

that he was going to be President of

SOjourner Truths age.

Much has been written and said rela-
tive to the reputed age OF the ancien
cOlOred sibyl of Battle Creek, eand it has
been denied that she is as old as claimed.
Some of the disputatiOn comes from the
fact that her hair, which for several
years was very white, is resuming the
dark hue of youth, and her eyesight has
also very much improved. A similar
dispute arose in 1879, and Mrs. Frances
w. Titus of Battle Creek interested her
self largely to ascertain the facts. Her
efforts elected letter from Warning
Latting of New York city, who COM
municated the following facts under
date of Feb. 10, 1879, which were pub
lished: AS a slave. SOjOurner was held
for many years by John l. DumOnt, an
uncle of Mr.. Latting, who resided on the
west bank of the Hudson, directly OppO-
site Hyde Park. In 1919 she was still
held in slavery, and from her appearance,
as he saw her in that year, Mr.. Latting
was quite sure she could not have been
less than A or As years of age. This
seems to have been generally accepted
in her masters family, and is the best
testimony that could be procured. Ac-
cepting it as a basis, SOjOurner would
now be between 1O6 and LOT years old,
and this is probably about correct.
While in this city last winter she told
the editor of the republican that she had
been a grOwn-up woman for several
years when the first steamboat ran on
the Hudson river, and "seed it wild her
own eyes," This was in 1907, or "a years
ago. At the time of emancipation In
New York in 1917 she claims to have
been over 40 years Old.-LanSing Repub,

1t is estimated that nearly 100000, 900
pounds of paper is produced annually;
one-half of which is used for printing, a
sixth for writing, and the remainder is

duces yearly 200, 900 tons of paper, averag-
ing II pounds per head for its popula-
ton. The Englishman comes next, with
about ~ pounds per head; the educated
German takes pounds, the Frenchman
7 pounds; while the Italian, Spaniard,
