Similar facts are shown in nearly
all the other states.
Having made these preliminary
remarks, we will proceed to th5
main object of this address, and
that is the practical means of Sc.
curing immigration and preventing
emigration. 1t can only be done by
organizing societies in the vari
Gus counties and putting them
in communication with the bureau
of immigration at Nashville. These
county societies can ascertain how
much land is for sale or lease in
their respective counties; the char
acter Of the land and it's pro-
ductiveness; the improvements on
the land and its conveniences, as
well as the terms upon which 1t
can be bought cor leased. They
can also ascertain what labor is
needed, its character and the price
that will be paid for it. They can
find out the water power Of the
county and report in regard to it,
and also in regard to the coal mines
and deposits of iron ore. If socie-
ties can be formed in all the coun-
ties in Middle Tennessee with an
average membership of 200 to the
county, this will give a membership
of 1900 to Middle Tennessee, and
these can do an immense deal to-
wards improving and enriching the
country.
Our people in many counties are
what is called land poor, that is they
have more land than they can profit
ably use. They would produce
more on fewer acres.
Our committee have done all they
could. 1t is for the parties inter-
ested to organize societies in the
different counties. Even if they
commence with only few members
and are energetic they will largely
increase their membership. Let
the membership extend to every
civil district. Let half the interest
be shown as is taken 10 political
contests and organization and great
results will follow. We have rec
a form of constitution
for the societies, and we now leave
the whole matter in the hands of
those whose interests are most
deeply involved. Whether the
will be q success or a
failure depends upon the efforts they
may make.
Any assistance or Information
that may be desired of this commit
tee will be cheerfully given.

Canada and fha Queen.

l remember a curious incident that
happened i'll Canada In connection with
the British national anthem. In one OF
my lectures / describe the pathetic
abandonment of state ceremony at San
dringham, while the Prince of Wales
lay sick there of what threatened sc
formidably to be a fatal illness. The
audience listened spellbound. UTTERED
the sentence 1.-The Queen strolled up
and down in front of the house, unat-
tended, in the brief interval she allowed
herself from the sick-room." Suddenly
came an interruption. A tall, gaunt
figure in the crowd uprose, and pointing
at me long finger on the end of long
arm, uttered the word " Stop" Then,
facing the audience, he exclaimed F:
Ladies and gentlemen This loyal
audience will now sing God save the
Queen /" The audience promptly stood
up and obeyed with genuine fervor, l
meanwhile patiently waiting the finale
of the interlude. When it had finished
1 proceeded with my narrative, and as a
contrast to the suffering of Sandringham,
depicted the happy pageantin st. Paul's
Cathedral on the thanksgiving day for
the Princes recovery. It is the custom
in Canada to propose a vote of thanks to
the lecturer, and the chairman arose and
uttered the usual formula. Again the
tall, gaunt figure was on its legs.
Z" Ladies and gentlemen" said he,
rise to propose an amendment to the
motion. / move that the lecturer be
requested to repeat that portion of the
lecture referring to our gracious sover-
eign." And repeat it d.-Archibdld

Why He Omit Specializing.

He is an old gray-haired clerk in a
Wall street office. The boys were asking
him. at lunch time, why he never specu-
lated and after some little hesitation, he
replied:
"Tbere was a time when was a con-
firmed stock gambler. 1t was years ago,
and / was book-keeper IN a Broadway
store. had some money left me by my
father, and earned a pretty good salary,
but in a year after my first deal in stock
/ was cleaned out of cash, owed for four
weeks board. and had drawn my salary
a month ahead. In this emergency
robbed the store of s., 900 and made a
false entry on the books to conceal my
crime"
"Is it possible" gasped several voices
in chorus.
"Yes gentlemen, it is. l knew that /
could conceal the theft for week, and at
the end of that time I hoped to have
made a big stake in Wabash and be on
my feet again. / invested the stolen
money in that stock and waited. 1t
jumped up a little, fell, and jumped
again, and finally dropped out of sight
and swept my capital away"
ssAnd you were ruined?"
ST thought so. Discovery must come,
and my employer was a man who would
have sent me to prison. determined to
go and drown myself. Discovery must
come on Saturday. Friday night 1
closed the books and walked down Beck
man street to the river, calculating to
leap IN and become food for sharks. AS
l neared the ship came upon a stranger,
sick, and wet, and unable to move. He
asked me to secure a carriage for him,
and said he had plenty money to reward
me-. A fiendish thought flashed through
my brain; it was hardly conceived before
executed. l grasped his throat, choked
him senseless, robbed the body, and
heaved it into the water, and then fed. -
You don't say SOP" they shouted.
Facts, gentiemen-cold facts. His
wallet contained $4,000. took So, 900
to replace the stolen money, and with
the rest l bought me the property now
own across the river. I made a solemn
vow. never to speculate again, and have
kept it.
"And were you never found out?"
"Never; and hope none of you will
peach on me now."
While they looked at each other in a
dazed way the old clerk finished his
beef, wiped off his mouth, and observed:
"Got to go now. Remember mum is
the word. If it's noised around / might
have the victims heirs howling around
here Tor compromise of fifty cents on the
dollar. - WdtL Street Ne1Us.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

A MANS good breeding is the best Sc
He SURELY Is most In want of an
others patience who has none Of his
own.
In THE great Inconsistency and crowd
OF events, nothing is certain except the
past.
IT IS no good reason for mans re-

In it.
EVERY man is bound to tolerate the
act of which he has himself given the
example.
EDUCATION begins the gentleman; but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
A FEAST is made for laughter, and
wine maketh merry; but money an
swereth all things.
A SOUND discretion is not so much in
dlcated by never making 8 mistake, a.
by never repeating it.
POVERTY is the only load that ia the
heavier the more loved ones there are to

The fruit of liberal education is not
learning, but the capacity and desire to
learn; not knowledge but power.

A Tear for the Humorist.

Come weep with us, dear reader, over
the grave of American humor. 1t Is
gone. It is busted and dead, like
cockroach fiattened In the family Bible.
Gather about us, weeping friends, while
we drive the cold cruel screw into the
coffin lid of busted American mirth.
Pour into the open grave your scaldlng
weep. America hasn't humorlst to-
day that she can lay her jaws to. No
one can regret this any more than we
do, not because it hurts our trade any,
for it does not. If we had man on
this paper who claimed TO be humorlst.
we would squat him into heterogeneous
mass and use him for paper weight.
But we have two or three journalistic
friends who had fooled us into the delu-
sion that they were inclined to be face
tious. and without thinking about it
much we have laughed good deal over
their printed remarks. 1t will go hard
with such men to be laid aside that way
and stood up behind the door like an old
umbrella. They will be out of job and
hard up for awhile until they can get
some wood to saw. Such men as Mark
Twain and Josh Billings are left in their
old age with only about 5000, 900 apiece,
and Peck and Sweet and those men to-
Cether with the Detroit Free Press man
and Rob Burdette and Eugene Field,
will probably have to tramp it over
the country ALI these men are
making money hand over fist, and they
are making it out of four or five million
people who haven't the necessary men

truth that they are being bamboozled
