We had the pleasure of hearing
Bob and ALT Taylor Tuesday night
at Columbia in the lecture of'Yan-
kce Doodle and Dixie" Bob, who
cloquently represents Dixie, as
sumes that there is no "New South"
He maintains that SECTIONAL strife
still exists, always should and will,
saying that Mason and Dixon's
line may not exist in law, but that
it does, in fact, as the dividing line
between cold bread and hot bis
cult, and that it will always be
d rawn as long as Yankee Doodle
says you hadn't ought to do it, :
and Dixie replies, 4 done done it,
The war, he says, ought this line
out wildly by placing Yankee
Doodle on the pension roll and
Dixie on crutches. There is a
North, South and West, each sep
arate and distinct in its sentiments,
but the time will never come when
they will not be united for common
interest and against a common
foe

WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK.
Could Not Get the Purse. But Neither
Cnuld The Other.

Where they all came from was a mystery,
says the New York Herald. Aud why So
mnay women had selected thisscurclng day
To shop was incomprehensihle-at least 10
the finite masculine mind But the big Shop
was packed and ianmed with them. They
all looked utterly tagged out and many
showed signs Of growing irritation.
Two women of widely contrasting types
paused for a moment on the outskirts of
this human vortex. They stood. at opposite
points, equally distant from that portion
OF the long counter dedicated 10 rem
nants.'' Neither was young. The one,
evidently a country woman, had the placidly
stupid gaze of a Illuminating cow. The other
was distinctly product of New York. She
was dressed in rusty black. Bits OF crepe
were pinned at uncertain intervals upon her
costume. Her shabby bonnet, with its
drunken plume, was very much over one ear.
She wore The suspicious but alert air OF
terrier that has been fooled too often 10y
the cry of rats" The Illusion was height
encd by a peculiar habit of carrying her
elbows close to her sides and letting her
hands flop down from her extended wrists,
as il sitting up, begging
\ common impulse put both women In mo
ton. on the floor by the remnant counter
lay purse. Apparently no one else sa w it.
The small woman, by a vigorous appli-
cation of her sharp elbows, worried her
way toward the prize. But here size de-
featcd agility. b. sheer force of her own
weight, the country woman projected her
self upon IL. The victory was hers.
The little woman gave n yelp OF disap-
pointmcnt as she saw her rivals hand open
the purse and disclose a goOdly sized roll
OF bills. Instantly her face CLEANED with
malicious triumph.
Leaning over the counter, she called in
n shrin voice, Miss, here's lady"-with
scathing emphasis as has found purse
with money. Won't you take her TO the de-
partment for lost artiCles?"
