the town of the old Indian chief died and
decayed away, until today the site IL
used as d field for cotton and corn, but
the road built by Leiore still stands and
is used in some places.
Greenwood Lefore was an intense
Union man, and took no part in the war
between the North and South, but stren-
nously advised his people not TO seccde
from the Union.
During the war a party OF Texans,
hearing of Lefore's Union feelings, went
to his home, 'Malmaison,' and threat
ened to burn it and kill him. The old
Tndian told them that he had during the
treaty taking an oath to support the
United States, and that they might kill
him. but he would be true to his oath.
The Texans were forced to leave the
place by a party of gray-haircd Confed-
crate sympatbizers who went from Car
rollton to Malmaison to give Leflore help.
Although he said he was Union man.
yet his neighbors, who were Confederates,
respected him for the honesty of his con-
victions.
During the war, near its close, party
of Federal troops went out to Malnai-
son and carried off large number of
on Greenwood Lefiore's place. The fam
lily i1ow have a claim amounting to $500
600 against the United States.
A number of Greenwood Lefore's
grandchildren live in Lefiore and Carroll

IL that Of true noble genuine manhood.
But what Ia the standard that infiu.
enccs the boys and girls of our land
worth II they do not measure up TO Its
heights and out to its breadths7 The
home circle Is the place for the stand
ard to be lifted. The home circle is
the place where truth Is TO be taught
and wisdom to be learned The home
circle is the place where example must
be set and precepts taught
Let us learn the lesson thoroughly,
that all life centers In the home life,
and all forces radiate from the home
life. The instincts of the tramp were
developed in his home life. The In
stincts of the dude were developed In
the home life. II Is impossible for
some homes in this world to turn out
anything else upon the world but .
dude or tramp. For parents 20 turn
out either of these characters from
homes into the world ought to be con-
sidered a crime. punishable by fine and
imprisonment.
The penalty ought to be doubly
severe for turning ont dude, for
tramps seldom marry-dudes do. Tho
instincts of the tramp are buried with
him, those of the dude are transmitted
to posterity. The tramp Is only bur.
den to the generation in which he lives,
the dude will curse generations to come
of his children and grandchildren II
they are like him. The sooner these
nuisances are abated the better for the
world.
Whenever any line of life that Is not
sion that fact becomes a calamity. To
say a man is professic sal man we nat
urally associate him with some of the
nobler professions, such as law and
medicine, science, etc., but q profess
sional dude or a professional tramp il
not only a nuisance to society, but they
are a blot upon all professions If they
dignity their line Of life by calling It q
profession.
and somehow why man Is tramp,
but there Is no reason in Heaven or
earth or hell why any man should be a
dude. There may be some apology for
the dudeen, but who can offer one for
being a dude? If we would abolish
these two professions. let us teach our
boys that no one but an idiot would be
dude, and nobody but o vagabond
would be tramp. The girls can do
much to help us in ridding ourselves of
the dudes, and the boys can largely
render the tramp thing Of the past by
letting them die with this generation.

The little eyes Of Carry's father began

see she don't care nuthin' about us2
Let her go 'Iongi'
Carry staggered slightly when her
mothers frantic grasp was so suddenly
relaxed. Then she went steadily out
at the door.
The moonlight lay, clear and solemn,
over the fields.
The whippoorwills were chanting
their old. old warning. Who, in mo-
ments of willful decision, of dehb-
crate SHINING, has not felt the sweet
agony of their song to be an arrest

Carry did not notice them. She
was running swiftly, noiselessly, down

| and then she was shaken with hard
sob. 1t was not remorse that she felt.
1t was only, in her childish selfish soul,
vague terrible premonition of what

Out in the backyard of the Slocums'
house Jim leaned on the fence and
listened to the whippoorwills. The
house was near the big swamp, and the
air was full of rich, sitting scents
There was glamour of romance and
mystery about the familiar fields. The
glory of the summer night filed him
with subtle pain. He was thinking of

going, too lazy, to protest very wildly

But Carry knew better Waiting for

HE LACKED NERVE.
A Man Who Preferred Switzerland In
Winter to Matrimony.

A Man Who Preferred Switzerland In
Winter to Matrimony.
A joyous party assembled recently at
q house in the Rue de Vanves. The
representatives Of the fair sex were at
tired in bright array, and one of them
was rcsplendent in a white dress, q
veil, and the traditional orange
blossoms, for she was about to be united
in the bonds of wedlocl to a jeweler
twcnty-nine years of age, who had
come forward as suitor for her hand
few months ago. She had seen nine
teen summers, and was an assistant In
shop, where her pretty face and
smart manners had attracted the
notice and won the heart Of the BRIDE
groom elect. 1t was nine o'clock, and
all the company were gathered at her
parents abode save the jeweler, SO, by
way of killing the time, wine was
brought out, and tongues wagged fast
until an hour had gone by, when some
one exclaimed that they must start II
they would be welded to-day. A
council was held, and messenger was
dispatched In hot haste to the dwelling
Of the bridegroom elect, with press
ing summons to come at once. Instead
of the jeweler, however, he saw the
concierge, who informed him that her
tenant had taken his departure early
in the morning, leaving q note which
he said would be sure to be called for.
The messenger hurried back with tho
letter, which was opened with trembling
hands by the father OF the young
woman in the white dress and orange
blossoms. Then a doleful scene fol-
lowed. In the missive the jeweler an
nounced that, after thinking the mat
ter well over, he had come to the con-
clusion that he was not inclined for
matrimony, and he added that when
the missive was received he would be
wen on his way to Switzerland, where
he meant to stay for some time.
At first it was thought that this
might be q grim jest, and that tho
jeweler would make his appearance,
with laugh at the trick he had played;
but soon this sanguine theory had to
be abandoned. Then there was wall
ing, mingled with denunciations OF the
crratic icwe1er. The bride went on
into a fit of violent Mysteries, and had
to beoconducted to her room while
doctor was sent for. her mother giving
vent to calculations OF fury. As for her
fater, he started of forthwith to the
ofice of the nearest police commissary,
accompanied by the friends who were
to act as witnesses of the marriage, and
into the ears Of that official he poured
q melancholy tale, winding up with .
formal complaint against the jeweler.
Much to his disgust tho police commits
sary informed him of his regret that he
could take no steps in tho matter, and
then, by way Of consolation. the on
| cial dilated on the sad life which the
young woman would have been certain
| to lead with such q volatile husband,
concluding with the expression OF the
opinion that all that had occurred was
| rather . subject for congrstulaticn
than otherwise. The abandoned han-
Gee and her relatives could not, how
ever, be induced to regard the matter
in such q philosophical light-Paria
