81 knowed he weren't; Use got the best
blood Of the South in my veins; Use al
ways knowed il, but Uncle Cole, he were
always good TO me, and unless | am pro-
perry treated at the funeral, | don't go
for TO give one cent toward pawn the
preacher or the undertaken" This
threat probably induced the preacher 10
interfere, for ne said: Sister. let us
have no determinations" The funsral
went on quietly after this, poor Uncle
Cole was put in his last resting place,
and the family returned TO the house,
where there was usual dinner TO serve.
Theodore positively declined to partake
Of the feast, ''Kase he never eat after
woman cookin'." This hit at the cook
ing made all the blood Of all the Coles
boil In Sis's veins. She told Theodore
that Emmeline was a Generalization,
that, without a wedding ring, she had
two small boys. Emmaline came to the
front with the expressive reply, so |
has, an what is you dom to keep EN-?
The State N which Use a free citizen
is a carin for them two dinkeys."
After this the "weepingS' were used,
the mourning garmeRs were torn TO
rags, Ragged jim was made happy, and

Emmeline came home and greeted her
missy" with a chuckle and the infor-
nation that de funeral was great sue
cess. We represented de 'stocracy, de
borrowed vail am tattered, we got de
better in de fight, I'll have nothing more
to do with any Of de Cole family, and
not one cent of my money shall 90 10

SOUTHERN DARKEY IS A JOY FOR
EVER.
in her use Of words. Emmeline was
very dignified as far as pronunciation
went. The last time | saw her she had
entered into the martial state, uniting
herself with a gentleman WhiteWasher
commonly known as Tommy Jenkins.
Matrmony had not changed her. she
invited me, when | called on her IL have
a milk punch, and on my declining II,
she said: ooh, Go have it lille Missy,
the milk came from an elderly cow
Ten minutes hard thinking made me at
last understand that Emmel.ne was not
disparaging the milk as coming from
an old fountain, but praisinS ii as COM
ing 'direct from an beautiful Attorney.
However. the new generation or dark
ey is not like the old, and it is pity.
The OLD one was so full of joy; was so
happy and so eager TO have everybody
else happy that il is pity for 1t to dle

mothers maid and who sleeps at the
feet OF my grandmother, was COM

don't see that type nowadays. Inc
new maid yearns for false teeth ana

LIKES TO GO TO A WHITE DOCTOR.
She wants the hymns that are printed
in books. and no longer composes them
TO meet the demands Of the hour. AS
| say this | seem to hear the voice OIL
Emmellne announcing in clear tones:
"De rocks an de- mountains will all
fade way,
An we will nave new b'din' place that

Just why Emmeline should long for
2 new hiding place on the resurrection
day she does not know, but it sounds
well, and the words adapt themselves
to the tune.
We have told so many stories that we
have forgotten that we are going to Jim

MIS- Tcmlinson says: Mrs. jim PniLp

about the only Latin l know, ana
trust you can translate It, because you
are surely better up in Latin and very
