Men of the Hour.

The memoir of an old Italian navigator
ends with these words: "His voyages
brought no advantage to his country be-
cause he was dreamer and not man OF
affairs Though he had been all over the
world he never was in it,"
OF Goethe, on the contrary, it was said;
"He seized the passing hour as bee does
flower, held it, wrestled with it, sucked it
dry of all its honey and then left it behind
forever"
The world has use for the man who looks
forward, who is in advance of his time,
who gathers facts which another who
comes after him may cause to yield their
lesson, who theories and speculates and
discovers new laws.
But it is among the men who live in the
present and make it their aim to influence
their own generation that we find the
Gladstones, the Bismarcks, the Websters,
the Lincolns-all the men who force the
world to call them great.-Youth's Com

Talking about a new South, Con-
gresham Hemphill, of South CARROLL
ma, in his speech characterizing the
infamy of the Lodge election bill,
which was gotten up by that noto-
rious scoundrel, John Davenport, of
New York, said it was not a
new South, but a thew North" that
was needed. The truth was uttered
with eloquence and not without
force. The South has proven her ca
pacity and willingness to cope with
the situation and work out great re-
suits without the help of the govern
ment in pensions and only wants to
be let alone. If the North could di-
vest itself of seltishness, prejudice
and sectionalism there wonld be
unity, peace and prosperity through
out this broad land.

Peryerse Tallors.

One Of the most perverse beings il the
city of New York Is a mans tailor. The
tailor makes a mans clothes, but it re-
quires an unusual amount of persistency
on the part of the man to have the tailor
make the clothes In any other way than as
the tailor wishes. Especially does the tailor
object to making clothes in the way that
the customer wants them. One of the
tailors on Madison square undertook to
make coat and pair of trousers. He
took the measurement all right. The coat
and trousers were tried on; neither of them
fitted. The tailor was told to alter them;
they were finished without alterations.
They were returned to be altered. The
tailor sent them back with word that they
had been altered. This process was re-
peated twice, until the customer went to
the tailor's and told him that the legs Of
the trousers should be made half an inch
longer. The trousers were returned with
out the legs having been made half an inch
longer In thetrousers pocket was a mem
orandum paper by the tailor, make right
leg only quarter of an inch longer" The
tailor had his own way about the trousers
at last.-New York Sun.

The Patterson papers lay great
stress on the Democracy of their
candidate, pleading no other merit
for him. What if he is Democrat =?
Nobody has disputed his allegiance to
the party, but are there not thous-
ands Of other men in Tennessee just
as good Democrats as he, who never
voted any but Democratic ticket in
a thousand years. This writer is one
of them, and he is not running for
governor either. 1t makes us tired
to hear these papers always spOuting
about Uncle Josiah's upper case De-
mOcracy. We have heard of upper
case Democrats being hung, and last
week Mississippi sent one to the pen
itentiary for five years. Your Uncle
Josiah cannot escape that lobby bust
ness and his Legislative record, hid
ing behind his upper case Democ-
racy.

pears from reading of the two fol-
lowing paragraphs from the Scim-

Our Milan correspondent says Cor.
Patterson is expected to drive all
other candidates out of the field

Josiah may drive them out, but he
won't put up the bars just yet. He
is too magnanimous.

Also Sauce for the eander.

Representative Reed, of Iowa,
from the Judiciary Committee, sub.
hitting substitute for the Senate
original package bill, measure to
meet a late decision of the Supreme
court affecting the right of States to
control the sale of intoxicating
liquors and the Interstate COM
merce law--makes this argument in
the substitute, covering all COM
merce. The States are the proper
judges of the needs of their own
citizens, and they ought to be free
to enact and enforce such laws as
they may deem best adapted to
their situation and best calculated to
enhance the prosperity and happi-
ness of their people, and when the
nonresident imports his wares into
the State and then engages in traffic
therein, it is but just that he should
be subject to the same restrictions
that govern the citizens of the State
who would engage in like traffic.
This is a very strange argument
In favor of State rights and applies
with even greater force to the out
rageous Federal election law the
Republicans are now trying to pass
to rob the southern people of their
suffrage and all rights to control
their own affairs, for no other
than partisan purposes, perpetual
ting themselves in power.

He dipped up gourdful Of the water,
drank swallow, threw the gourd down
and heaved distressingly. A commotion fol-
lowed. Other brothers drank and gagged
The preacher seized a cupful, drank, and
had to lie down. 1t would be impossible to
describe the scene that followed. Women
threw up their hands in terror and old
men stood and trembed. One fellow,
holder than the rest, seized the bough of a
thorn tree and let in on the preacher. The
false prophet ran away, glad to escape with
his life.
Old Sandy was installed as pastor. He
lived high for few weeks. Then an ugly
secret leaked out. The old rascal had dis
covered the source of the Spout Spring and
at timely moment had emptied barrel of
soap-grease into it. He was numerically
whipped with the thorn bough that had
been used on the Rev. Sim Pitts, and
shortly afterward, upon conviction of hav-
ing stolen hog, was sentenced to the peni-
Tertiary for three years.

W.: in reply to tho question of CALL
~ = reporter. I on look as If you didn's
like their appearance. Well, they are not
attractive, certainly, and yet they are Of
great service to the science of medicine"
Where do they come from?" asked tile
reporter, conquering his repugnance suf-
iciently to look into the glass jar which
was half-flled with water, the leeches
hanging on to the sides with glutinous
determination to stick there.
"Oh, principally from Norway. They
are found hanging to the great cliffs along
their frithS and fOrths. They are shipped
here in great numbers, being packed in
mud or allowed to cling to charcoal, which
is kept moist for their convenience We
buy them from the wholesale druggists and
put them in glass jars. But they are not
profitable investments even if they do bring
the price of twenty-five cents apiece"
why, has the demand for them fallen
Off" asked the reporter.
P" To certain degree, yes, for, as you
probably are aware, there is not so much
blood-letting as in former times. But that
Is not to what referred. We lose so many
of them that it makes them e poor stock to
carry. Would you believe it? They get to
hghtlng III the jar and bite each other most
vlclously, suck each others blood, or what
ever you may choose to call the life fluid
of leech, and so kill each other.
In jar containing two dozen l have
often found all but eight or ten lying at tho
bottom OF the jar as dead as they could be,
killed by their comrades"
Can't they be used over and over
again?"
There seems to be a dispute about that
know that often in the hospitals they try
to save them, for, as you can readily esti-
mate, 1t becomes somewhat expensive to
buy leecAes for the crowd. But although
frequently they are able to make the leech
disgorge its load of blood, yet, as general
thing, full leeeh has to be thrown away.
1t refuses to take hold again.
1T has always struck me as rather funny
that one of the principal uses 10 which the
general public put a leech is to reduce this

Yellow Blossoms From Fields, Feathery

HI WONDER how many realize that al
most small fortune has been made
H this season by the sale of wild flowers"
That was the remark of a lady con-
nected with the Women's Exchange, that
worthy charity established for the purpose
of enabling needy gentlewomen to earn
livelihood. The one she addressed was a
writer for THE CALL. Upon seeing the
surprise which manifested itself in his face
she continued.
There has cen great demand for the
wild buttercups and ferns this season.
Every spring great many wild flowers are
sold at the exchange, but during the past
few months the demand has been greater
than ever, and you must understa nd that it
represented just so much clear gain, for
nature kindly plants the seed and does the
gardening, so that all the outlay the one
who supplies the market Is called upon to
make is actually very slight. 1t is only the
time taken in picking them, in sending
them to market and in paying the small
commission which is required at the ex-
change. The same with the ferns. And
can you believe it when | tell you that for
a number OF weeks they have sold to the
tune of nearly $50 every week? l think that
Is pretty good when you take all that | have
told you into consideration.
Nov that the California peoples are
coming in there will be another variety for
people to go crazy over. 1t has been very
fashionable this Lent to use wild flowers
for table decorations on account of their
simplicity. Now, for my part, think that
they are well enough for daytime enter
talnments, such as lunches, but if you have
noticed, wild flowers have disagreeabIe
habit OF shutting up tight at night,
and so the charm of bunch Of buttercups
is lost In tue gaslight. The same with the
eschscholtzias; they roll themselves into
candle shutters as to shape-a bunch of
them will lose more than one-half of its
size. Hence they are valuable only for Civ
ing the massed effect of bright bit of color.
But the ferns are the most satisfactory !;
they keep fresh, bright and green for ever
so long, and bunch of ferns and handful
Of yioe:s make beautiful offering to a
sick friend"

ATTACKED BY A BEAR.
L Thrilling Experience in the Life of
Toie.,E

A Thrilling Experience in the Life of
Count Toistoi.
IF1FJ1N incident is related about the cee-
}azz brated writer, Count Tolsto, which
E(%AY nearly cost him his life. He went
on a bear hunt with some of his friends,
and, after selecting a spot which COM
manded a good view Of the surrounding
grounds, some of the more experienced
hunters suggested that The snow had better
be trampled down so that it would be easier
for them to move about and get out of
bruins way and have time enough to take
a shot at him if he should come upon them
unexpectedly.
The Count however, alth ough up to his
waist in the snow, objected to this and said
that it was entirely unnecessary, since the
whole thing consisted Of shooting the bear
and not wrestling with him.
They did not have to walt long, for the
bear, which had just risen from its lair, was
walking along to get out of the way of the
hunters when it suddenly stepped ont into
the open space directly in front Of Tolstoi.
He very cooiy took aim and fired, but the
ball, for some reason or other, went wide Of
It's mark. Taking aim again, he fired, this
time hitting the bear in the head and the
bullet lodged in the lower jaw and of course
only made very irritating wound, which
made the bear so savage that, taking a few
jumps, he was upon Tostoi before he was
able to realize it. just as the bear came
close enough to him he dropped down and
of course the bear went right over
his body. Tolstoi's whole body sunk into
the deep snow, and the only part that re-
NAMED exposed was his head, which the
bear tackled as soon as he had recovered
from his surprise IN seeing Tolstol disap-
pear so suddenly.
Tolstoi did his best to push his head down
as low as possible, and elevated his fur cap
for the bear to bite. Twice the savage
animal snapped at it. and then discovering
his mistake. made bite deeper down. this
time taking q piece of flesh from the
Counts right cheek.
Just at this moment his comrades re-
turned, and by their loud yeils succeeded
in driving away the bear. who very slowly
turned his back upon the hunters and
WaISed into the woods, master of the stua-
