THE BABY AND THE SOLDIERS.

Rough and ready the troopers ride.
Great bearded men with swords by side
They had ridden long they had ridden hard,
They are travel stained and battle SCARED;
The hard ground shakes with their martha
tramp,
And coarse is the laugh of the men in camp
hey reached the spot where the mother stands
With the baby clapping its little hands,
Laughing aloud at the gallant sight
OF the mounted men fresh from the fight
The captain laughs out ''rll give you this,
A handful of gold, your baby to kiss -
Smiles the mother, "a kiss can't be sold
But gladly he'll kiss soldier bold
He lifts the baby with manly grace
And covers with kisses its smiling face,
It's rosy cheeks and its dimpled charms
And it crows with delight in the soldiers arms
Not for the captain the soldiers call
THE baby, We know, has one for all
To the soldiers breasts the baby is pressed
By the strong, rough men, and by turns caressed
And louder it laughs, the mother fair
Smiles with mute Joy as the kisses they share.
Just such kiss cries one trooper grim,
When l left my boy gave to him -
And just such kiss on the parting day
gave to my girl as asleep she lay
Such were the words of the soldiers brave,
And their eyes were moist as the kiss they gave

The Industrial Situation South.

The Iradesm0n of July published a
statement showing the industrial situation
in the South as exhibited by the number
of new industries established during the
last three months. 1t shows, during the
past quarter, 1921 new industries have
been established, against 900 in the pre-
vious quarter. There were ITO new en-
prises begun during the first six months of
1889, against 1890 for the corresponding
period of the previous year, showing that
the South is going ahead at more rapid
rate than ever before. What is more sig
nihcant says the Irddesna011, is the fact
that the character of the industries is of a
more substantial character and is on
much better basis than in previous years.
The speculative fever has been in a large
measure repressed and industries are now
being established more in consequence of
natural resources and legitimate enter
prises than before. The most noticeable
feature of the past three months has been
the organization of fifty one new cotton
and wooden mills, against thirty five in the
previous quarter. Georgia leads with ten
new mills, North Carolina follows with
eight. Fifty-two foundries and machine
shops were organized, a gain of seven over
the previous quarter. Alabama leads in
this particular industry with nine new
works, Tennessee, Georgia and Kentucky
follow with seven each. Eighty-two
mining and quarrying companies were or
gained, of which seventeen were in Ken
lucky, against sixty one in the previous
quarter. The number of railroad COM
panies organized shows gain of almost
100 per cent, the number for the past quar-
ter being 100 against IS during the pre-
vious quarter. Texas and Alabama lead
in this respect with % and 20 respectively.
2O7 wood working establishments were
organized, against 100 in the previous
quarter. Other industries We're established
in the last three months were seven blast
furnaces, forty six oil mills Sixteen in
South Carolina) eleven potteries and three
rolling mills.

WHAT MAKES THE CROSS.

Dear Lord, my will from Thine doth run
Too oft different way,
/ cannot say, THY will be DONE
Through all life's darkened day.
My heart grows chill to see Thy will
Turn all earths gold to gray.
My will is set to gather flowers,
Thine blights them in my hand;
Mine reaches for life's sunny hours,
Thine leads through shadowland;
And all my days go on in ways
l cannot understand.
Yet more and more this truth doth shine.
From failure and from loss;
The will that runs transverse to Thine
Doth thereby make its cross.
Thine upright will cuts straight and still
Through pride, and dream, and dross!
But if in parallel with Thine
My will doth meekly run,
All things in heaven and earth are mine,
My will is crossed by none.
Thou art in me, and in Thee
Thy will and mine are done!

John G. Whittier's Little Dog and
the Singer


During Mr.. Whittiers recent birthday
celebration, he was visited among others
by Mrs. Julia Houston West, Americas
most celebrated oratorio singer After
dinner Mrs. West was asked to sing, and
seating herself at the piano she began the
beautiful ballard of Goblin Adair," sing
ing it as she can with all the longing and
heartbreak of the words and music in her
voice. She had hardly begun before Mr..
Whittier's pet dog came into the room and
seating himself by his side, watched her
as if facnated and listened with delight
unusual in an animal When she finished
he came and put his paw very gravely into
her hand and licked her cheek.

SELF said MI Whittier, he also is Robin
Adair.'"
1t was true. That was the dogs name,
and he evidently considered that he was
the hero of the song. From that moment,
during Mrs. Vests visit, he was her de-
voted attendant. He kept by her side
when she was indoors and accompanied
her when she went out to walk. When
she went away he carried her satchel in
his mouth to the gate, and saw her depart
with every evidence of reluctance and dis
tress. .-. r..-1..#r.' r.4sf
Another story of which Mrs. West is one
of the heroines is good enough to tell here.
A few years ago she and Mrs. Flora Barry,
the famous contralto, were engaged to sing
in the Oratorio of the messiah" in one of
the inland New nglard cities. They ar
rived on the morning of the day on which
the Oratorio was to be given, and went at
once to hotel. The small boy who acted
as porter and bell boy all in one attended
them to the parlor, carrying their travel
ing bags Mrs. West in her most dignifed
manner asked that their rooms might be
prepared. The boy started out of the par
lor, then, seemingly impelled by force he
could not resist, he walked back into the
room, surveyed the two ladies with the
greatest interest and suddenly broke out
with the question e''-f

AN OLD STORY.

AS she lifted her head,
And gracefully raised her dainty paw
Dear Robin, I've heard
You're the sweetest bird
That ever mortal saw"
Don't flatter me So "a
It's wrong you know
Tho better judges have said the same
Then the quick blood rushed,
And she blushed and blushed
Down to her bosom of fame.
But you see,' said kitty,
It's such a pity
To waste your charms on the desert air
[ VOW it's a shame
For so rare a dame
To pine in secluson up there
Then pussy-cat smiled,
And Robin, beguiled
By her gay and treacherous laughter
Alighted at once
On the ground, like Ounce,
And never was heard Of after

THE CHILD AND THE MOON

Moon, that sails so slow and still.
9 Art thou lonely9 So ami;
When thou droppest DER the hill,
Dost thou find another sky
= Where there are no stars that keep
p Spying on thee, and no sun
Chasing thee to make thee weepY
An! know; the spider spun
Such d lot of shining tears
On his web among the reeds;
If live thousand years,
Sun thou shalt die for thy deeds
All the lilies worship thee.
Bow1ng like the Priests at prayer;
All the ferns stand up to see
Thy soft light shine everywhere.
Thou art like boat tonight,
On deep and silvery sea.
Where the souls of children might
Be lost ever, but for thee.
Thou dost gather every one
With thy slender, shining hands;
And across the sky doth run
Unto far off Blessed Lands.
There the King doth smile and saw.
Little children, come to me-"
And the livelong day they play
In his garden merrily.
Thou returnest by road
Secret, safe; while far and fast,
Like hungry giant, strobe
The Sun saw thee cast
Round thyself a ring of white
For charm against his wrath:
And along the wall of night.
Closely creep by cloudy path.
Thus forever dost thou float
Through the heavens to and fro;
Safely in thy silver boat
Softly now my soul doth go,

On Friday, Jane 18th, 1889, Horace
Bridges, the n-ytar-old son of our kind
friend, Mr.. c. w. Bridges, was severely
bitten in the right hand by a strange dog
which he had found in the road and
brought home to feed and pet. Early next
morning Mr.. Bridges was aroused by
pistol shot near his residence, and on
going out he discovered that mad dog
had been killed. Horace identified the dog
as the one that had bitten him. Mr.. Bridges
became alarmed at this intelligence, the
idea of the animal king mad never once
having occurred to him, and he began to
make inquiry as to where mad stone
could be found. On Thursday, June IL,
an account of such stone appeared in the
New Orleans Picugune.
