THs SoUT HERN SoLpfER.-At the
close OF the war the Southern soldier
returned to find his home ruined and
his 'helds devastated. His friends
and neighbors we're scattered, the Ia.
Dor system was overthrow and the
commercial machinery vas utterly de.
stroyed. In twenty Ave years oil this
was changed, chiefly by tie old SOL
diers. They threw all their energie.
all theirfEeal into the work, frst ior
seii-support, and next for the up.
building Of their section. No pen
sions for them; no back pay; no or.
my OF claim agents tn asaist them to
q permanent condition of respectable
beggsry. Even the MANNED and those
whose bodies were wasted by disease
entered the struggle for existence
without the least expectation of assis-
lance from any quarter. and as q re =
suit We see q work accomplished
more marvellous, more honorable.
more enduring than any OF their a..

The Governor does not doubt that bc

ING. An interesting history OF an
old and rclt~known comic tene was
given by Professor EnseI, a music
teacher, in q speech in the Music
Teachers Association, last week.
He said that when the army OF tue
first Napoleon was In Egypt, in 1899,
the camp for awhile was near the
pyramids. One afternoon, about
sunset. the band was playing. The
inhabitants of the desert had collect,
ed near, and we're listening to the
music. Nothing unusual happened
until the band struck up q tune
which we now hear under the name
olive Won't Go Home Till Morn
ing. Instantly there were the wilsest
demonstrations of joy among the
BedouiEs. They embrace ecch other
and shouted and danced in the
dclirium OF their pleasure. The rea.
son was that they were listeaing To
the favorte and oldest tune of their
people. Professor Ensel then stated
that the tuoe had beoa taken to
Europe from Afr1ca in the eleventh
century by the crusaders. and asd
lived separately in beth Countries fes
over 700 years. This is GER aiDly
enough to make 'We Won't Go Home
Till Morning classic. Us origin is
more ola mystery than the sosr CO ri
the Niie.--LouisviHe POst.
