To Mr., Kernoodle,

To James s. Kernoodle, Mechanic in Louis
vile and Nashville Shops, Birmingham,
Ala
Dear Sir: I see you have addressed an
open letter to several lea ding democrats
and candidates in this state, and also one
to Mr.. Bailey of Texas, asking several
questions about the financial problem
from a Hannacrat or gold standard
standpoint.
Now, there are a great many people,
myself included, who do not believe you
wrote those letters, but that they were
written by some one else and your name
as the author used for effect.
AS the question box is open I want to
interrogate you a little.
How has your household Jared for the
real necessities of life. to say nothing of
the luxuries. during the past three years
in comparison with the three years prior
to that time? Have you fed your family
as well or clothed them as well? Have
you saved a dollar for rainy day?
/ will now make you proposition, not
believing that you wrote the letters in
question. ] will give you $50 If you will
write a letter cor taining the same num-
Der of words as in either one of the letters
named, conditionally that the letter is to
be as well written dramatically and to
treat the subject of finance with equal
ability as the letters referred to. I, or
some one designated-by me to be present
when the letter is written.
If you wish to discuss the financial
question I will be pleased to meet you be-
fore the Wage Farmers Free Silver club
at any time you may name. Very respect
fully, t4h

chirped since the great speech delivered

rect there is an opportunity for some one
to make an Independent fortune mighty
o1iick. Some of those who hold to the
doctrine that the gold dollar is the only
honest dollar. who heard MIR. Bailey
speak, have been heard to admit that it
was a pretty fair speech. but could be
answered. Here the opportunity to get
rich comes in. We know that Mark Han
ma will gladly send his check for half,
yea, for a whole million dollars to the
man who win furnish a complete and
convincing answer to the arguments set
forth by Mr.. Bailey in his speech Friday
night at the opera house. The lack of an
answer to that speech. which wilr con-
vince any reasoning mind, has already
lost Mark Hanna and those whom he
represents several million dollars, and Is
likely to cost them the loss OF several

more millions before the polls close on the
Sd day of November, to say nothing Of
the Special privileges it is going to cause
them to loose; and in addition to all that
it is going to cost Mckinley the loss of the
election, which loss will fall mighty
heavy on Hanna and his cohorts. No
time should be lost. Those who say the
speech can be answered of course desire
to see Mckinley elected and installed as
president dejure, while Mark Hanna
would be president defacto. Most of them,
too, though gold bugs as they are; would
not object to adding 81 few hundred thou
sand dollars to their individual bank ac-
counts, and If they sit idly by here and
permit the Bailey speech to go unanswer-
ed they will not be discharging their duty
to the party they are now serving. The
lack of that answer is causing Hanna to
lose lots of good sleep and turn loose
daily thousands of dollars in the middle
western states. Get together, gentlemen,
prepare the answer that you say can be
made forward same to Hanna at once, or
you let slip by you the chance to make
million dollars and those he represents
several million dollars and Mckinley the
presidency.

THE LIGHTER SIDE.

James Lane Allen contends that there
is no character in American fiction rep
resenting the perfect gentleman. Nearly
all of our fiction, he says, deals with
lower types. 1t is much easier to write q
novel dealing with lower than with high
er Civilizations writer cannot be below
the plane Of his characters and write up
to them. He says the three gentlemen in
fiction best known are Don Quixote, Sir
Roger de Coverley and Colonel Newcome,
and that the nearest approach in Ameri-
can fiction Is to be found in the Autocrat.
The only two names in our fiction that
are universally accepted are Uncle Tom
and Uncle Remus, but our representa-
tive gentleman cannot be found.
Perhaps Mr.. Allen could write novel
and give US the character OF an Ameri-
can gentleman. Mr.. Allen is said to be a
thorough gentleman himself--of good
birth, of talent, of culture and handsome
withal. But he makes an admission in
Aftermath" which may debar him from
the honor of being perfect gentleman
he admits that he never carries q pocket
handkerchief. No man can be a gentle
man who uses his coat sleeve for a hand
kerchieT. How would DIR. Parihurst do
as type of the American gentleman?
He has a vigorous personality, is promi-
nent in church and state, is forceful in
the intellectual and moral world Is hand
some, cultured and thoroughly American.
The foot hills of Red mountain, now
known as the South highlands, were
originally covered with "a magnificent
growth of forest trees. Many of these
have been cut down to make room for
houses, but now and then one of these
monarchs of the forest can be seen still
standing. As the city encroaches upon the
Highlands these trees become more rare,
and are priced more highly. A resident
near st. Mary's church has fine grove
of oaks on his front lawn. He could not
get his consent to cut any of them down
until the other day he made up his mind
that they should be thinned out. As he
went about among them with an AK and
marked those to be cut down he turned
his head away as he struck. as father
does when he whips his child. A resi-
dent on Highland avenue has large oak
inshis yard that i'a says is worth $1,000.
The oak Is a liak that binds the present
to the past. 1t was a tree of good size
when the Indian trod the unbroken wilds
of Red mountain.

my observation" said Mrs. p. "I knew

was a literary man and was always read
ing the papers or book. Mrs. H. wanted
her husband to talk to her, and she COM
planned that he read too much. She de-
clared that if she became widow and
married again she would marry man
who couldn't read. 1t came to pass that
she did become a widow, and married a
man who was illiterate. She soon found
that she had made an awful mistake.
While her husband took time to talk to
her he had nothing to say. His illiteracy
debarred him from becoming Interested
in anything that interested her. 1t is true
that education not only fits a man for
literary pursuits, but for cognate lines of
