coming universal. Joel Chandler Harris
was born at Eatonton, Ga, December 8,
1876, and educated himself at the printers
case" 1t was said of him a dozen years ago
that "Wanting, doubtless, come degree of the
polish of scholastic culture, be has an en-
ergy and self-reliance thus developed, that
will be worth more TO him in the battle for
fame than the most skillfully adjusted AGA
IDENTICAL armor" This prediction has been
fully verified. For the last five years Mr.
Harris has been editorially connected with
the Atlanta Constitution, paper Of consider
able Influence, and his journalistic ability
was recognized before "Uncle Remus" won
him wider audience. He has written
sufficient number OF poems, serious in senti
ment and musical in versi6catiou, to prove
that he can sing sWeetly when moved by
strong metrical impulse. As an interpre-
ter. however, of negro dialect and character
he is absolutely unriValed. No one
familiar with the fables of the dead
plantation dsys, and the queer
idioms employed by their dusky narrators
can fail TO appreciate the fidelity Of Mr..
Harris's reproduction. Whether we follow
"Uncle Remu,'s" calm recital of the exciting
adventures of "Brer Fox" or turn our sym
pathetic attention 10 his nocturnal struggles
with the Tooth aches" or take peep at his
"Deceidul Jug" we feel equally sure that
he is no 6gment of the Imagination, bat a
genuine ''darky" OF I'VE oiden time" 1
have seen il stated that Mr.. Harris has
sketcbed the skeleton of a story called the
Romance Of Rockville, that "betokens the
power Of the novelist" and that he is en-
gagged upon a serial for the Century, depict
ing the old slave life in the South" His
success or failure rs a romance writer cannot
affect the work he has already accomplished.
Literature has its fashions, as nature has
her seasons, but am confident that "Uncle
Remus" and the "Iittle boy" who listened
30 earnestly TO his Preside fancies, are des-
tined to go down to posterity together, hand
in. hand

Richard "a. johnston.

Richard NJ. Johnston is probably The most
cultivated OF our Georgia humorisls He
was once professor Of bellies lettres in the State
University, and was very popular socially.
Before the changes brought about by the
war, "Dick Johnston" as he was Familiarity
called, was the lavorite guest at all dinner
parties. In the rulings OF two of the Judi
cial circuits of Georgia, there was not such
a rccontetT TO be found, and this is saying
much when 1t is remembered that in the
days of which we write, the bench and the
bar eff the State were noted for men of INTEL
lectuality, who favored the dry readings Of
the law with plentiful pinches Of attic salt.
The necessity which swept away the old
homesteads, and the struggles for existence
which scattered many happy households,
carried Dick Johnston 10 Maryland. Near
Baltimore he fixed his home and has de-
voted himself to the cultivation aud educa-
zion of youth" In the writings of Richard
Johnston the touches OF humor are as bril-
liant pebbles at the bottom of
brook, but they are not clarified by
undercurrents of palhos-that element
which is always subtly blended with
the highest achievements of comedy. Many
of Johnston's stories seem to me unique in
originality of thought and treatment. Such
tales as PIss Tanners Defense and KING
William and His Armies-contributed 10
Bdper's Ma9dzine-make laughter a new
pensation, but they also appeal TO the uober
instincts OF our nature. Such sketch as
The Parting Of the Be0zIey Trims is inimita-
bile in its delicious droflery. Mr.. Johnston
wrote a series of stories under the general
title of the DukesbOro' Tales. They may be
found in the defunct pages Of one OF the
South's best periodicals., the Southern Maya.
ztBe of Baltimore. They are so excellent in
all respects rs to make me hope that they
may meet with wider circulstion. 1t is
due to so genial an author, whose talents far
transcend those of the ordinary humorist,
that his works should be given 10 the public

THE BRUTALITY OF PoLYGAMY.
Cruelifes which liz Encourages in the
Treatment of Children.

There is a man in this city, says the Salt
Like Tribune who is polygamist who has
a pie assnt address; who stands high in the
favor of the authorities of his church; who
talks we'll; who would, by man like Capt.
Colem an, be pointed out 10 Eastern people
as living evidence of the malice aud false-
hood which fills the hearts of decent people
when they denounce poIygsmy. BY his real
wife that man became the father of several
children. Upon her death and assuming of
powsr By the second wife the father drove
every child by his frat wife away from home.
He gave one delicate child, little girl Of
eleven years of age, TO a brutal farmer 10 the
country; that man sent the child to tend
stock on the mountains and compelled
her TO sleep alone in tent on the noun
lain side, where every night The child suf-
fered the agony Of the damned in natural
childish fear. Now the children are scat
tered lholgh three or four States and Ter
ritories, and though this child il here in the

Of that woman's children should not be
reproacb 10 her and her children any longer
A nd the father, embruted by his former aeis,
having learned to think OF his children as
he did his calves by different cows, turned
his heart against his thorn, and drove all
the children which the wife OF his youth had
borne 10 him into tbs street, at the bidding
of the woman who, in that way sought for
respite from the cries which her

FORTY DAYS OF SNOW.
Remarkable Cold winters In the Past
Fourteen Centuries.

The following statistics OF the good old
winters are curious: In 401 the Black ses
was entirely frozen over. IN 1855 not only
the Black sea but the S RATS of Dardanelles
were frozen over, the snow in some places
rose fly feet high. Ia So the great rivers
Of Eur0pe-the Danube, the Elbs, etc.-were
SO hard frozen as 10 bear heavy wagons for q
month. 10 $50 The Adriatic was frozen
In 99l everything was frozen; the crops to-
tally failed, and famine and pestilence closed
the year. In 1867 tine most Of the travellers
in Germsny were frozen TO death on Inc
roads, 10 1888 the Pc was frozen from Gre.
mona TO the sea; the wine casks were burst
and even the trees were split by the action
Of the frost with immense noise.
In 1886, the Danube was frozen TO the bot
tom, and remained long in that state. In
1916, the crops wholly failed in Germ aEy;
wheat, which Was some years before sold in
Euglsnd at six shiilings the quarter, rose to
60. 10 1889, the erops failed in Scotland,
and such famine ensued that the poor were
reduced 10 feed on grass, and many persisted
miserablv ia the felis. The successive win
ters Of 1882, 1888 and I434 were uccom-
monty severe. 1t once showed forty days
without interruption. To 1854, the wine
distributed to the soldiers 10 Flanders was
cut with hatchets.
In 1884 the winter was excessively csld.
Nest of the hollies were killed. Coaches
drove along the Thames, The ice OF which
was eleven inches thick. In 1909 occurred
the cold winter. The frosts penetrated three
yards into the ground. 10 1715 booths were
erected and fairs held on the Thames. In
l744 and I745 the strongest ale iu England,
exposed 70 the air, was covered IN less IAN
fifteen minutes with ice eighth Of an irch
thick. In 1907, and again in 1912, the win
tiers we're remarkably cold. In 1914 there
was a fair on The frozen Thaues-sSeisetife

Linn Boyd, John white and Henry
Clay.


Kentucky has not had a Speaker since
Linn Royd's term closed 10 1855. He had
two terms, covering both sessions OF the
Thirty-second and Thirty-third Congress
The other two Kentuckians who have been
Speakers OF the National House of Repre-
sentatives are John White, who bad single
term-the Twenty-seventh Congress, from
184l TO 1S43-and Henry Clay, who was
elected Speaker oftener than any other who
has ever held that place. He was elected
first to the Twelfth Congress; 1911 to fof3,
then to the Thirteenth, and resigned alter It's
session in 1914 to become one of the commits
sioners 10 represent the United States at the
conference 10 be held at Gottingen 10 adjust
the conditions of peace with Eugland. de
was again elected Speaker when he returned
and took his place in 1915 in the Fourteenth
Congress, and served through both sessions
of that and the Fifteenth Congress as
Speaker, and also through the first session OF
the Sixteenth Congress, when he again re-
signed, this time to retire 10 private life and
attend to his private business in Kentucky.
Thus he was elected Speaker through five
successive Congresses, though, rs has been
shown, in two Of them he chose to resign
after the first session. He was again
elected Speaker of the Eighteenth Congress
after being in private life three year., sno
he served through both its sessions. He was
then elected, in spite OF his long retirement,
on the first ballot. II seemed only necessary
for him 10 walk into a new Congress as a
member 10 be at once elected 10 the highest
Office in the gift of the House. Thus it will
be seen that twice he was reelected Speaker
after some time had elapsed since the expi-
ration of his last term, during which others
were elected to the place. Between his last
term and the preceding one two different
Speakers served-John w. Taylor, who
served during the second session of the Six
tenth Congress, Mr.. Clay having been
Speaker during the first or long session of
that Congress, and Philip P. Barbour, of
Virginia, who filed the Office during ali Of

The Fortni9htiy was the first journal OF its

upon as startling innovation, thoroughly
inexpedient and a senseless notion. But
