Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
DR.. Mary Walker, according to
a statement in the Northern papers,
proposes to apply for an Office un-
der the new administration.
This statement ls all very we'll in
its way, but it doesn t go lar enough.
To cover the case, the paragraph
ought 10 have gone on to remark
that DIR. Mary Walker would get
whatever Office she applied for.
THIS has been her experience under
all administrations during the last
sixty years. She has been reco@-
nized by all The presidents, and
even war has bowed TO her his plu-
med head.
DIR. Mary Walker, so far as we
know, is not a statesman. She has
never been to congress, and it has
never been charged that she is a
member of The whisky ring She
had an influence all her own, and it
is an influence that by no means de-
pends on her party affiliations. AS
a matter of fact, the doctor belongs
to no party, Her politics are of
her own invention, and her views
have never appeared in any of the
partisan platforms that attract the
ordinary voter.
Nevertheless, DR.. Mary Walker
gets there. If she wants an Office,
and she usually does, the commits
sion is thrust at her with a par of
silver tongs, In such an appoint.
ment as this there is nothing like
partisanship but simply desire to
be polite to the gentler sex even
after ii puts on "pants."
III is the great gilt and talent of
DR.. Mary Walker that she wears
''panis." This is her strong point.
Were she TO appear before stern
and statesman-like administration
in green veil, a flowing manlilla
and a trailing bOmbaZine gown
to quote a word much esteemed in
society, she would have no sort of
a chance. She would be shown 10
the door with much pnliteness but
in great haste, and she would go
out into the cold world feeling that
the sex had few opportunities TO do
a mans work and get mans pay,
But DR.. Mary Walker doesn't
wear the feminine garb. She makes
no effort to arouse sympathy.
When new president is elected
she merely pulls on a fresh pair of
boots, adjusts her suspenders, and
goes TO claim her own.
The doctor is at the front now,
and if she doesn't get a warm Of
flee with money in the plgeon-holes
of the cesk, The Republican party
will have reason to regret it most
bitterly. II she fails it will be be-
cause Brer Lie Halford, who was
raised poor country boy, is not
used to seeing female "gents" strut
ling around in pants"

Ten Changes In the Government:
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
There have been ten partisan
changes in the executive branch of
the government in the past 100
years. The earliest was in 1901,
when Jefferson, the first Democrat,
succeeded John Adams, federalist,
who belonged to The same party as
Washington. The next change
was in 1925, John Quincy Adams,
who was opposed to the policy of
the administration of Jefferson,
Madison and Monroe, succeeding
latter in that year. Four years
later jackson, a Democrat, re-
placed Adams, and twelve wears
alterward William Henry Harn.
son, wing, displaced Van Buren,
who belonged to the same party as
jackson. This brings the list of
changes Up 10 four and the record
up to 1S45. In that year Polk,
Democrat, succeeded Tyler, whig.
On the next inauguration day Tav-
lor, whig, was installed, and four
years aiterward - in 1853 = the
wings went out of power and the
party collapsed. Then followed
the Democratic administrations of
Pierce aud Buchanan. This makes
seven changes and takes :us along
10 1861. The eighth political revo-
luton occurred in that year, when
the Republicans, uuder Lincoln, re-
placed the Democrats, and the
ninth took place in 1885, when the
Democrats, under Cleveland, again
came into power. The tenth change
occurred on Monday, when the Re
publicans, through Gen. Harrison,
once more begun to bear sway.

THE DOCTORS BRIDE.

"Why don't you marry?" said
Mrs. Harcourt TO her brother-in-
law, after a long string of COM
plants traceable 10 his batchelor
condition. She was leaning indo-
lently in her chair, and started at
the bitter scorn in her companions
looks and tone as he answered her.
Marry! Are you mOcking me,
Isabel? Who would marry me "
He rose as he spoke, and the
movement gave fearful emphasis
to his words. His face dlvested of
its scornful look, was beautiful
not handsome in the pOetIcal idea
of manly beauty, but lovely as a
woman's. From the effects of a
fall when quite young the spine was
injured, and the figure nature had
intended to be slight and graceful
was twisted and deformed most
fearfully; one knee, too, was in
iured by the same fall, and his gait
was slow aud halting. Yet, IN spite
of his deiormity, Or. HarcOurt was
in full practice as a physician and
universally beloved.
"No woman shall have her life
embiltered by the care OF such a
poor cripple as | am, Isabel. l can
bear my sOrrows alone. Good
night!n And the doctor went slow
| Iy TO his room. He fastened his
door, and bowlng his head on his
hands, sobbed as a man sObs only
IN his EXTREMIST agony.
His thoughts ran something after
this fashion: "Marryl How could
I ever dream of love, with this Grip
pie form, these trembling limbs,
and poor pale facel But | do
love-love with all The bitter agony
of despair. She pities me aud L
| love her with all the wealth of a
mans whole heart for the first
time"
Meta Leslie was a saucy, coquet-
lish little beauty, aud had admi-
rers in great quantities, for she was
not only gay, bewitchIng and beau
tiful, but The only living child Of a
wealthy father. Her mother was
an invalid, but not so dangerously
i'll as TO alarm her husband and
child, but suffering from a chronic
compliant thai kept herln her OSE
room year in and year out, so thi'
pretty little sunbeam was The
housekeeper.

THE HOWE or THE SOUL.
BY MISS MARY GORDON DuFFEE.

In a cline where the lilies eternally
bloom,
And palms shade the River of Life,
Where the tdeless sea sleeps, and never
u moan
Comes to tell of the Earth and its strife;
Where the ransomed are free and the
weary at rest.
Aud their glad songs forever roll,
Oh there VIZ shall find our loved and our
lost.
In that beautiful home OF the soul.
With never a pain on brows where the
crown,
Is seG with the seal of His love;
And never tear to dim their bright eyes
And they nestle meath wings OF the
dove;
And never a sigh to thrill them with grief
Whea through the green meadows they
stroll,
But to wait till We come, and meet witt
them there,
In the beautiful home of the soul.
'Tis a city all lit with the light of the
Lamb,
and its wall are of jasper and gold
Aud its temples 50 full of the saints of all
time,
It's wonders can never be told
Where the good sheppard guards his i'm
maculate flock,
And no tempest doth over them roll;
In that fold we shall find the ones who
have strayed,
To the beautiful home of the soul.
Where a thousand years count but as
days did below,
Aud night never darkens the plain;
Where the hosts walk in white, and awak-
en- their harps,
To the sounds of Hosanna's strain;
In that port where the good ship her an-
chor hath cast.
And the pillows have ceased their last
roll.
Oh! there by the shores of the city OF
gold,
In the beautiful home of the soul.
1t is white as the crest of the md win.
ter's snow,
1t is fair as the stars in yond sky;
1t is bright as the throne of the crucified
one, ..
And around it no shadows can lie,
For His name is the theme Of their ighty
refrain,
And His love Is the song that shall roll
Down the spaces that stand between us
awhile,
And that beautiful home of the soul.
Oh! fast be the flow of he tides of Our
life,
Aud welcome the day of our rest,
When softly will perish this poor earthly
CLEAN,
Like setting suns ray in the west;
And hasten the hour when the gates will
unfold,
And back on their hinges shall roll,
To gather us there with all we have lost,
In the beautiful home of the soul.

Lard and Lard.

New Farmer.
Consumers ought 10 know that
home. made lard-that is, pure
lard-is cheaper at 124 cents per
pound than the best commercial
lard at 10 cents, and, what Is wor-
thy of consideration, you dispense
with the offensive odor of aculter-
alton, which arises whenever the
commercial article touches hot
iron. As a rule, the whittier and
firmer the lard, the greater the
adulteration. The best Western
lard shipped South will remain
firm at temperature that will
melt a pure article. For family
use, il is best to buy from honest
farmers; or buy the crude fat from
honest butchers and render it at
home. Then you have an article
that YOU can ca. with confidence.
Then, if the cook puts little too
much lard in the blscuit-as she is
apt TO do at first, they are not
spolled-only little too short.

Mr.. Hemphill, of South Carolina
in a speech in the House on The
contested election case of Small VS..
Elliott. showed up in nice style the
hypocrisy of the Republicans in
the Northern States on The negro
queslioh-that they exercised an
undue zeal about The rights Of the
negro South. and were solicitous
that he should hold Office here, but
were very careful that he held no
Office up North. 1t was suggested
by a Republican that a negro was
elected to the Electoral College in
the State of OHIO al the last cleo
tion, and Mr.. Hemphill brought
down the house by saying that il
was true a negro did sometimes
slip into an Office ih the North that
had no salary attached to it.
