this visit OF the great leader

with the open.armed hospi-
tality for which the South il
justly noted. Every honor

his visit to the Georgia capi-
tai was afterwards among
his most cherished memories.
This was the spirit shown
where a conquered people

The Science Of Politics.

he. The love of politics is a
part of the birthright Of ev-
cry American citizen. A state
OF politics which made lite in
tolerable in the old country
gave birth to the new. Our
fnrefathers fed from Great
Britain on account of a polit
ical condition under which
they could no longer live.
and founded on the new con-
tinent a government under
which It was designed that
the will of the majority should

This was the beginning of
government in America. For
awhile all were united in a
comm on cause. The new gov
ernlnent was purely amatter
OF experiment: nothing like
it had ever before been at
tempted on the face of t h e
earth. Greece and Rome had
sought to establish a repu5-
lican governments, hut on a
less liberal scale. and had fail
ed; and so the forefathAIs
were prarticaily without prec
edent in their Undertaking.
They realized the necessity OF
unity, and all were of on =
mind throughout the forma-
tive period. Independence was
declared, the war WIS fought
independence was won a n d
Washington became Presi-
dent. Except i"r the ,nlnor
differences which arose IN re-
gard to the terms of the con-
stitutiun, which differences
were quickly composed, no
disagreements occurred am-
ong the founders, because dis
sension could not be afford

The GARDENER.

DON'T forget to search for the cracks that
Will let in the keen air. Stuff them with
folded newspapers
Don't fail to keep n kettle Of water on the
top of the sitting room stove or the water
pan filed in the furnace.
Don't leave the door or window open too
long unless the weather is very mild. or
the plants will become chilled.
Don't fail to usestimulgnts on your Gala
and plenty Of warm water IL you want
quantities of the beautiful lilies.
Don't give too much water or try to force
the plants Give them time to become ac.
customed to their winter quarters.
Don't be sorry to give your only rose or
geranium blossom to your sick neighbCr
1t may do her more good than medicine.
Don't forget that the plants will require
plenty of fresh air on sunny days, or they
Will resent the change from their summer
quarters.
DON'T forget to look ut the bulbs which
have been placed III the dark to form roots.
Some of them may be ready to bring into
the light for blooming.
Don't allow direct draft on the plants,
especially if the air is cold. Admit it
through door or window at some distance
from the plant shelves.
Don'tworry about the moisture being I'M
healthy when it is necessary to sit in the
room with the plants. You will be bene
fitted as well as the flowers.
Don't be discouraged if you can't make
the plants bloom while the days are short
and there is little sun. You will notice a
great change in few weeks
