A Graphic Epitaph.

You want a plain, unpretentious
stone, as I understand it," said the
dealer in tombstones after the chairman
of the delegation had explained that a
late arrival from Kansas had been acci-
dentally killed.
Right you are" replied the chair
man. There amt nothin' in the case
that calls fer anythin' gaudy or impos-
in, but the boys feels that the deceased
quence his remains is entitled to con-
sideration."
Died suddenly, did her. asked the
dealer.
'Well, he wasn't jest expectin' death
at the time he shuf1 ID off, if that's what
you're drivin at" returned the chair
man, but there amt no need of goin'
into particulars, if it's all the same to
you"
''Oh, I've no desire to pry into any
secrets" explained the dealer, hastily.
II was merely thinking of the epitaph." !"
"The whatg'
1.-The epitaph. You want some
thing engraved on the stone, / sup
pose. It's customary to have something
in reference to the most notable quail
ties of the deceased on the tombstone" "
II reckon you're right about that, "
said the chairman, thoughtfully, "but
there amt much knowed about the fell
ler out here 'cept that he was reform
er, 'cordin' to his own story. P'r'aps
you'd better jest put a line on somethin'
like this: He tried to vote the prohi-
bition ticket in Red Gulch. That seems
to fit the case better'n anything else."-

MAY HIS TRIBE DECREASE.
A Southern Editor Protests Against q,
Burial Of Sectionalism.

The way to get great crowds to the
exposition is not by pandering to Wis
ionary sentiment, but by looking condi-
tions squarely in the face. Entirely too
much time has been taken up in bury
ing sectionalisln. 1t is all right to do
this in time, but three months is too
short period in which to dig the hole
and fill in the dirt for this great corpse.
Then, If such a feat were possible, it
would never do to summarily rob many
orators of subjects for the balance of
their natural lives.
Col Hemphill of the Constitution
must be given an opportunity after the
exposition is over TO hang a sparkling
tear on his lower lid and declare in
tremulous notes his undying love for
Abraham Lincoln and Old Glory.
Capt. Howell must be allowed the
manly privilege, after this exposition is
a thing of the past, of telling our visit
ing friends of the North how they licked
us, and there must yet be other occas-
sions for general slop over experience
with those who feel religiously delegated
to perform under the great canvas of
sectional love.
Let us devote the remainder of our
show to dealing frankly with people
who come from distant States to see it
and investigate Southern development
Let us tell them that we love the memo
ry of Davis just as they love the memo
ry Of Lincoln, and we have no more
cause to be regretful of the past than
they. Let us not let them come down
here and extol Lincoln and content our
selves with extolling Lee. Let us ac-
quaint them with the fact that we had
leader whose name we are proud TO
mention in amy presence, and whose
virtues we have the courage to applaud
under any and all conditions. Lee was
not our leader, Davis was.
Let us be men who. while denying no
man the right to think for himself, are
men, true men, who deserve the right to
speak as becomes the sons of a proud
ancestry.

The Compulsory Education Law.

Many letters are now being receiv.
ed by the State School Department
regarding the Compulsory Educational
law. AS it was signed after the spring
registration of last year, it cannot, by
the Attorney-Generaps opinion, go in
to effect until the schools open next
fall. This spring the assessors will
get list of all the children of school
age, and the Boards will then see that
the act is properly enforced. The
employment of attendance officers
rests with the Boards and will doubt
less be found necessary in Phila-
delphia and in other large cities OF
the State.

St. Louis Dry Goods Merchant May Get
IN Trouble.
st Louis, Mo, Oct. IL -Consid-
erable of a furore has been created
in local political circles over the dis
charge of twelve clerks by Mr.. Du-
gald Crawford, proprietor of a large
department store in this city, for the
reason, it is alleged, that they in
tended to vote for William J. Bryan
for President.
Chairman S. E Cook of the demo-
cratic State central committee has
engaged ex Governor Charles P.
johnson, noted criminal lawyer, to
take the case up and cause Mr..
Crawford's conviction under section
3742 of the Revised Statutes of Mis-.
souri, which make his alleged offense
misdemesncr, punishable by i'm
prisonment.
The Missouri corrupt practice act,
Mr.. Cook said, is also applicable to
| this case.
In the course OF an interview to-
night Chairman Cook said: "Citi
zens of the city of st Louis have
subscribed ample funds to defray
the legitimate expenses of prosecut
ing violators of this law, and the
Democratic State committee will, as
far as it is in its power, protect every
man in the exercise of his elective
franchise, and vigorously prosecute
every person who, by intimidation
coercion or other unlawful means
undertakes to prevent any man from
exercising the sovereign right OF AT
American citizen.
