BABY SUE.

About three miles from town
overlook woman carrying heavy
bundle in her arms, says a writer in
the New York Sun. She was bare
footed, wore mans straw hat, and
it was easy enough to identity her
as mountaineer's wife. l drew my
horse down to walk and offered to
take the bundle on the saddle before
me.
cts Baby Sue,' she said, as she
passed it up.
''Ah ! a baby. Well, I'll be care
ful OF her. How old is she?"
"Gwine on two years."
'She's pretty heavy for such "a

with her, already, but | felt l had

MY man, sab. They's dun got
him in Jail fur moonshinin', and the
Lawd only knows when he'll be free.
l Jest knowed bed near die if he
couldn't hev one last look at Sue"
The child was wrapped up in a
faded old shawl and had veil over
her face. She lay like a log in my
arms, and, l supposed, sound asleep.
l had carried her a mile or more be.
fore l raised the veil to get peep
at her face. One glance told me
that she was dead.

He dun loved baby Sue like his own
life. He'd never forgive me if he
didn't dun see her afore she was
buried"
She wiped the tears away as she
walked alongside the horse, looking
up now and then at the bundle in
my arms. and didn't speak again
until we reached the Jail. Then she
took the little dead body from my
hands, tenderly kissed the white,
cold face, and said:
"Lawd bless we, stranger, fur yer

A DESIRE to borrow money at low
interest and vita as little security
as possible has been the nucleus for
for several political parties that have
been born in the United States in
the last twenty years. But it is a
fact that stands out in the worlds
history that no people ever become
prosperous by borrowing. "He that
goes borrowing goes sorrowing," is
as true now as it was in the days OF
Ben Franklin.

UPSHAW.

EDITORS JOURNAL-Cob5 county
was we'll represented at Douglas
vile college commencement by Mr..
Willie Upshaw, Miss Lula Dobes,
Miss Lila Watson and many others
of Upshaw, and vicinity. Several
ringing speeches were made by the
above named which were highly ap-
preciated by the Douglasville peo-
pie. Especially was this SO in the
several addresses delivered by that
earnest, jealous, devoted, christian
Willie Upshaw. AS he sat in his
invalid chair, and in words of elo-
quence, beyond the capacity of the
writer to initiate, tod how in his
ambitious, aspiring youth, the hand
of Providence had crushed his
bright hopes, every one in the au-
dience felt the opportunity and pos
sibility of a higher and nobler liv-
ing. Others made beautiful and
appreciative speeches. Miss Sallie
Upshaw, who has been attending
Douglasville college only few
months, won first honor in the elc>
cution contest.
Why is it that the young people
Of Upshaw can speak so tersely and
fluently? was the question that ire
quently presented itself to the minds
of the Douglasville people. This
question is fully answered to their
minds when made cognizant of the
fact that this Upshaw, Ca. is the
community in which exists the
Macbeath literary circle, a circle
which has for its prime object the
uplifting of the young people Of the
community to higher plane Of liv-
ing intellectually, morally and spir>
itually, and it is an encouraging
fact to know that of all the young
people that compose this. circle those
that are not consistent christians
are religiously disposed. We only
asked to be judged in that way in
which our Saviour taught us, Judge
the tree by its fruit" If this rule
is applied, the recent success of
some of its members ought to be,
and will be, sufficient proof in the
minds of sound thinking people, of
the good the circle is dong. We
beseech every one who feels inter
ested in the welfare of the aspiring
youths of our country to encourage
this laudable enterprise in every
possible way. Let every youth who
aspires to be something unite with
this circle and hold up the hands of
its dauntless leader. We pray Gods
blessings upon it, for under His
guidance and assistance its success
in the future may be more glorious
than it has in the past.

THUMBS DowN.-The daktugraph, or
thumb-written ticket, is the outcome of
Detroit genius's efforts to enable rail-
road companies to defy the scalper. 1t
is we'll known that the lines in the GU
ticle of no two thumbs are alike. The
inventor of the new ticket takes advan-
tage of this fact by requiring the pur-
chaser of coupon ticket to make q
print of his thumb in blank space at
one end reserved for this purpose. The
extremity of this space. which is about
three inches long, is gummed, so that
after the thumb signature is made the
end of the ticket may be folded over,
hiding the signature from view. On
the return journey the conductor opens
the gummed end, exposing the imprint
of the thumb, and requires the holder
Of the ticket to make another imprint of
his thumb alongside of the first for iden-
tification. The conductor is expected
to carry little pad of coloring matter
to enable the passengers TO perform
this duty. 1t is not stated whether the
railroad company will require its repre-
sentative to carry wash basin for the
cleansing of the thumb after being
used as stamp.

Girls Fought with Rapicrs.

Speaking of prize fights reminds me
of one l once witnessed in Marseilles,
France, between two as handsome
young women as ever looked out upon
the blue Mediterrean," said Otto Gott-
singer.
"The prize was nothing more nor
less than the heart and hand of a gay
young sea captain who might have
posed for the statue of Apollo, and who,
rumorsaid, had practised piracy on the
Barbary coast. 1t was no soft glove
affair, let me tell you. In fact, it was a
duel to the death, and the weapons used
were rapiers with points like cambric
needles. 1t appears that the rowing
swain was another Don Juan, and made
mad love to every pretty woman he
met. Two pretty Marseilles lace max
ers were the recipients of marked atten-
ton from him and grew insanely jeal-
Gus of each other. They met one day
in his presence and engaged in a very
undignitied scratching match, and he
suggested that they settle the difficulty
a la mode, promising to marry the sur
vivor. They agreed and the next
mornings sunrise saw them in wood
cd suburb of the city with their attend
ants ready for the fray. Through a
friend of the mischief-loving young cap
tain 1 learned of the affair, ard, in com
pany with Partisan journalist, was
present.
''Your French maid is nothing if not
dramatic, aud both stripped to the
waist, wearing only spiked shoes, stock
ings and short skirts. At least that was
the only clothing visible The captain
acted as master of ceremonies and pri-
vately encouraged each to go in and
win. ! thought of the contest on Mt.
Ida as | looked on the scene. Here
was Paris, Venus and Juno, but Miner
va, dear Goddess Of Wisdom, was con-
spicuous by her absence. The combat
ants faced each other on a grassy plat,
surrounded by live trees, just as the sun
showed his rim above the wave; and
they went at their work with will.
Neither knew anything about fencing,
but each was hungry for the others
gore, and reckless in consequence.
Their temper soon got the better of
their judgment, however, and they be-
gan to belabor each other with their
weapons as though they were broom
sticks. This proving unsatisfactory,
they dropped their rapiers and began to
pull hair, while the barbarous captain
rolled on the grass and shrieked with
laughter. The journalist soon got
enough, and, despite the captains pro-
testations, separated them.
'He then picked up the rapiers and
handed one to the author of the exhibi-
ton, saying Monsieur, you have, by
melting these foolish girls to fight about
your worthless self, sullied the honor of
the women of France. In their name
challenge you to mortal combat But
the rover, while willing that others
should spill their blood, had none to
lose, declined the combat and sneaked
out of the port."-H. Louis Globe-D DEM
