Squawman Story.

People said that old man Bottles was
crazy-that is after his return from
Chicago. He had shown no signs OF in
sanity before his visi, 10 the Worlds
Fair, but true I. was that since that
memorable trip he had changed. In
This wayne had put cont-ivance IN
the chimney OF his shack which consum
ed the smoke: he had constructed an e.
evator which worked by rope and by
which he was enabled 20 pull himself
up 10 the second story OF his house.
nine feet above the first floor: and he
had docked his horses tails: and he
talked interminably about the 'infiu-
ences OF civilization"
Bottles was a sQuawman IN the Indian
Terriiory-that is ne belonged 10 an
Indian tribe by marrying a squaw. He
had always been respected by the In
dams until this civilization idea"
struck him and he had that experience
with the doors. All. the doors, They
drove Bottles out OF the country and
made him desert his Indian wife and
his Indian possessions. 1t was after
he had put IN the srnoke-conSumer and
the elevator that he took another trip
which he had not noticed before fas-
cinated him. Those were the big doors
that swung inward and outward on
hinges How was II done2 He stood
for hours and studied this mystery.
Why didn't the doors fall on the hinges.
How on earth could they swing both
ways? The upshot OF IL all was that
Bottles ordered a pair of oak doors and
double back-action hinges 10 be sent To
his home in the territory. He preced
ed them and told his friends OF his new
discovery. They laughed al him and
Tipped their heads IN sign OF his insan-
ity. The doors came at last a great
hole was cut in the fraii house % ad-
nit the doors. Bottles and the men
about the farm worked hard 10 get-them
in place. Bottles announced 10 the
curious natives that at noon on such
and such a day ne would test the doors.
On that day a great crowd gathered
around Bottles shack, which stood on
the edge OF high cliff, 10 see his fool
doors" work.
The exciting moment came. The
heavy oak doors reaching up into the
second story Of the stumbling shack
hung motiOnless on the double hinges.
To get all the glory himself Bottles
climed through a back window. Then
with a rush he burst through the doors
throwing them wide-and stood be-
fore the crowd The great doors
swung out and then. with terrific force,

When she starts, a shower of petals fall

THR LATER SOUTH

The history of civilized countries
affords no parallel to the revival expert
enced by that section of the Union popu-
larly designated as the South, since the
termination OF the unfortunate civil con-
fiict that threatened the integrity OF the
Union.
From the ashes of defeat and humilia-
tion Dixie has risen and assumed place
IN The world of industry and commerce
far more exalted than any she occupied
in the ante- bellum period and immeas-
urably beyond the expectations OF the
generation which illustrated the heroic
devotion OF the American, be he North
erner or Southerner, to a principls, on
the battlefields of the rebellion.
War is exhaustins and demoralzing
alike to the conqusring and tae conquer
ed, but intellectually so to the latter. The
South was not only the conquered. but
she suffered from the evils incident to
the prosecution of the war to degree
simply unapproached by the North. 1t
was her territory that was invaded and
within her confines were fought the bat
ties. Whatever elements of destruction
and devastation come with the invasion OF
hostile armies and the carrying on of the
barharous task of war, she endured. She
came out of the chaos OF internecine strife
with untitled fields. PROSTATE industries,
annihilated commerce and with q broken
hearted and discouraged people mourn
fully nurAlng the remembrance of a
mighty host which had yielded up earth
ly existence in an immortal defense of a
cherished political doctrine.
The measure of misfortune was more
than filled in the disgracsful era of what
has bsen termed recons ;ruction, but which
could be more appropriately designated
as that Of Redistribution, when the states
which the party IN power at Washington
had declared could not constitutionally
secede from the Union and therefore had
never legally been out, were treated
as conquered provinces instead of sover
eign states and placed under the control
of an aggregation of political adventures
and ree-booters.
The indignities and outrages perpetrat-
ed by this army of carpet baggers with
the open countenance of party profess
ing great moral ideas, and sustained with
Federal bayonets, shall ever darken the
pages Of this republics history.
The recovery of the South from this
abyss of despair ana degradation and her
restoration to the heights of prosperity,
signally testify to the resourceful charac-
ter and indomitable spirit of enterprise
possessed by the American people and
their capacity for achievement.
With the recognition by the world, a
recognition that will be materially assist
ed by such enterprises as the present At.
lanta exposition, of the wonderful unde.
veloped riches of the South, there will
come population and capital to rear a
material greatness not to be surpassed by
any similar area in the world.
