Returning home from school he entered

followed this pursuit until April 'Gl when

naturally, he went into the war, as letters
written about this time reveal, actuated
entirely by sense of duty and patriotism.
But his soul soon caught fire and he threw
the whole force of his ardent nature into
the cause of the South. At Saltvilie in

success Of the confederate arms he would
freely lay down his life. And he meant

THE HEART OF AMERICA.
Southern People Are American In Ideas,
Progressive and Patriotic.

Southern People Are American In Ideas,
Progressive and Patriotic.
Edward w. Box pays delightful and
admiring tribute to the south and to tho
southern people in The Ladies' Home
Journal. Inspired by the management of
the Cotton exposition at Atlanta to keep
the gates OF the great exhibition closed on
Sunday-in fact, to have never seriously
considered nor discussed opening them
Mr.. Box contends that the southern idea
in this matter of Sabbath observance as
it is in d great many other directions, is
simply the pure, sound American idea
The most wholesome American IDEAS those
ideas upon which our government rests,
are nowhere so prevalent as they are ut
present in the SOUTH
They do not question divine laws in the
south. They accept and perpctuate them.
intellectual progress there goes hand i'll
hand with q strict adherence to the accept
ed beliefs of religion. The southern moth
er does not explain the Bibio to her chill
dren in the light of so called modern
teachings" She places it in their hands
as her mother gave it to her. And with
the fundamental principles of religion the
southern child is taught patriotism and il
love of country Hence religion and pa
triotism stand side by side i'll the odCca-
ktion of southern child. The southern
people believe in progress, but progress
along healthy, rational lines. Theories
(Which mentally upset find no sympathy
with them. They arc content to muyo
Slowly, but sanely and surely.
And some day, whom the vast majority
of US who live in other portions "t tl:is
country get through with our camping cut
civilization, when We drop our boast iul
mannors, when we get old enough to under
stand that there is a stronghold of con-
scrvatism which stands between tyral ny
and anarchisln, our eyes will turn toward
tho south. And we will sec tilro IL people
who are American in ideas and in living,
people worshipful, progressive, earnest,
courageous and patriotic-a people who
have made of their land, against defeat
and prejudice, the heart of America

especial animosity against Mr.. Dodge and
all of his undertakings and when the new

an artificial leg to sit without the annoy

The mechanical skill shown in the man

the fingers are mado to open, while by an
other they are made to close, in which po-
sition they are retained firmly by spring,
giving firm clasp.
A violinist who lost his right arm was
fitted SO skillfully that he was enabled to
play again with something of his former
ability, and one man, well known in Now
York, has two artificial legs, yet he at

The theory is now advanced THAI Ascut-
ney mountain at Windsor, Conn, was once
q volcano. Recent analyses of the green
granite from the mountain shows that it
is not really granite, rs it contains nc
mica, but different mineral, 50 that the
stone is more valuable than granite. 1t
is said to be absolutely impcrishablc, as it
contains none of the natural clements
which cause stone to decay. The sgone has
81 some time been subjected to intense
heat, which has driven out all thu metals

1t was perhaps two minutes later when
the burly youth emitted IL wild yell and
bounded from his seat into the aisle. An
other yell followed, and he bounded down
the aisle toward the door with both hands
in the vicinity of his cOatti.il pockets. On
the platform of the Car he began making
frantic cndcavors to take of his coat, but
before he succeeded the train pulled into II
