TIE OLD KITCHEN FIRE.

Mid sweet recolections sit in its blaze,
As sat long ago in youths mstical days,
And out of the past that is hallowed yet
Come faces and voices cannot forg"t.
We children, tits true but the heart keeps its
hold
On youth which it treasures as jewels and gold,
And feel in my soul with its lofty desire
The warmth ami the glow of the old kitchen fire.
How often we laughed at the winds in their might
As the meadow reposed meath their garments of
white;
The cracking of nuts made the merriest din,
1t was winter without it summer within;
But silence would come at the beck of the cook,
Who told us the stories of banshee and spook,
Till the flames tlickered low Ike they wished &c
expire.
And we crept Off to bed from the old kitchen fire.
[ cherish the pictures time cannot efface,
The old fashioned kitchen in memory trace,
And the boys and the girls who sit in row
On the stiff solemn chairs of the dim long ago;
And father and mother wOuld often peepi in,
But would never rebuke matter what din
We made IN our gee; they would smile and retire,
For once they were young by the old kitchen fire.
1t is thus from the past that pluck me rose
Which deep in the garden of memory grows,
And my heart keeps its youth through the years a
they glide
Bear me almost alone down the shadowy tide.
[ have to listen and laughter hear,
Ihave only to wish and sweet faces come near
And sit again. with boyish desire,
In the warmth and the glow of the old kitchen fire

ain my opinion" remarked the col
lege professor, who rose from the ranks
during the last war to the position of
Colonel, ''the imagination of men does
more injury to the cause of courage
than all the appliances Of war yet dis
covered"
''In other words, said a ''Starn
reporter, ''if man didn't think he
wouldn't be afraid of anything"
"That's about it" admitted the pro-
fessor. II had a remarkable case hap
pen to me during the battles around
Richmond. That is to say, it happen
ed to another man, but was part of
it. 1t was on a skirmish line, and /
was lying behind log with two other
men-I was only a private then-one
OF whom was an inveterate joker, and
the other was one of the imaginative
kind of soldiers. In fact, he was so
imaginative that he was almost scared
out of his wits, and when the bullets
and shells began flying through the
woods, cutting off saplings, clipping
limbs all around us and barking the top
of the log behind which we lay, |
thought the fellow would burst blood
vessel, or go crazy, or do some other
fool thing unbecoming to soldier.
Tom, the joker, noticed the mans ter
ror and called my attention to it.
'Then he reached out and drag ged
in Il stick cut from the tree above us
by Il bullet, and fixing Il pin in it
proceeded to have his fun The man
was at the far end of our log, 10 feet
from Tom, and | was just beyond Tom
on the other side, and, am free to
confess, was nervous enough to wonder
at Toms manner at such time. How
ever, | couldn't help, watching his
movements, and actually laughed to
see him sliding the pinpointed stick
along toward the unsuspecting victim
Having got it at the right distance for
4 smashing volley Of bullets, and just
us it came he prodded the soldier in
the back with the pin. Well, it was
really funny to see the chap jump and
yell and roll over, and we both fairly
howled. But it wasn't SO funny when
the man didn't move after his first
started action, and Tom looked around
at me in a scared kind of way
His surprise found expression in an
oath, and he called to the man. There
was no answer, and he called again,
with the same result. Then he crept
over to him and give him shake
That brought no response, either, and
Tom dragged him around so he could
see his face. 1t was an ashy blue, with
the eyes staring wide open, and the

never mark on him, save, perhaps,
that one pin scratch in his back"
II should think your joking friend
that could never have forgiven him.
self for that cruel joke" suggested the
writer.
I'm sure he never would have"
concluded the professor, because Tom
was a good fellow and a brave soldier,
but he never had much of a chance to,
for when the next volley came he was
on his knees beside his dead comrade,
trying. to do something for him, and
his head was just high enough above
the log for a shell to clip the whole
top of it off.

THE TIME OPPoRTUNE.

In the future the men who vote for
Bryan and Sewall in Alabama on the Sd
day of November next will be known as
the democrats of the state. The oppor-
tune time for the holding of a constitu-
tional convention is upon us. We will
have a democratic governor, who was
elected to the position by the people and
over the protest of the corporations of the
state. He will therefore owe the corpo-
rations nothing more nor less than exact
justice. This the people want them to
have always. The party can hold it's pri-
maries and nominate and then elect dele
gates to constitute the constitutional
convention without being troubled at all
by the agents of the great corporations.
That part of our citizenship has bolted
the party, and will have no voice in party
primaries, and will therefore be unable to
get their agents into the convention The
November election will result in bringing
together once more the great body of the
people of the state under the flag of true
democracy. The very people who are in
terested in the making of a new state
constitution, and in having in that in
strument no special privileges for the cor
porate power of the state. The develop
ments of the present campaign have been
enough to-and we are confident have
opened the eyes of the people to the alb
solute necessity of taking such steps as
are necessary to protect the party and
the people in the future against the Great
ures of the law. When the corporations
of state like Alabama enter the political
arena and undertake to prevent the peo-
pie from sending the men of their choice
to represent them in congress, then the
time has come when the people cannot af-
ford to longer postpone the duty of TAX
ing steps to protect themselves against
the powers the laws have created.

THE SLUMP IN WHEAT.
Wild Scenes on Chicago 'Change-The

Operators are Guessing" the Bankers
for Withholding Money.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 22-December wheat
took another big tumble on the board of
trade today, and the wild excitement on
change which accompanied the collapse
bordered on panic. There was fall of
Az cents from yesterdays closing price.
exceeding the advance for any day since
the sensational upward movement began
in this country and abroad. Late in the
day there was recovery and the highest
point during the morning session was
74A. The closing price was 701s cents.
Towards the closing hour the slump was
so rapid that drops of a cent and more
found no bidders. The price went from
% to IN in five minutes. The scenes in
the pit were such as board oftrade history
is made Of There was frantic rush of
sellers on the strength OF a. rumor that
Cudahy had Joined Armour in unloading
his holdings. Thousands of bushels were
dumped on the market, but there were no
buyers who could keep pace with the
quantity offered. There were some heavy
losses. The main cause of the decline was
said to be a failure to secure advances
from the banks for buying cash wheat
Within half an hour after the opening
the price Of December wheat went down
2& cents, and the memorable banker was
blamed for refusing to lend money on any
terms. The demand for money over
shipments to India or news from Austria
liza and Russia. Cash wheat sold below
futures and the price of the former de-
clined from 6 to cents before traders
were allowed a breathing SPELL
Armour said that the key to the situa-
ton was the scarcity of money, and that
the price of cash wheat was pulling fu-
ture wheat down. The curb last night
prepared the way for the Strengthening of
the market price today. Wheat sold al
"a in the street, and this, added to the cry
of distress from the cash market. threw
the pit into Mysteries at the opening.
Houses were swamped with country or
ders to sell at a certain price If the decline
continued. Most of them wanted the
deal stopped at "a to 745 cents, but before
they could as much as shout "sold" the
expert in the box had marked the price
down from 75A to 72h Then pande-
monium broke loose in all its fury. and
the bravest speculator was filled with
dread of what might come.
Bulls with the big lines of December
wheat, who, have been busy unloading
during the last few days, surrendered
some more to the tottering market They
sold at prices which brought them for
tunes and took their chances of buying
back again at a lower price. The bulls
who have been crying dollar wheat"
however, have not been silenced by the
tumble of the last few days. The bankers
said that the election uncertainty made 1t
imperative for conservative banks to de-
cline loans for specula ton In large sums.
Armour's grain department stated the
money market was become closely allied
to the wheat market. and that the cleo
ton was the only relief in sight.

THE STORY OF THE KETTLE AND
THE POT.

The Montgomery Mckinley Advertiser
prints an extract from a speech by Cap
tain Kolb, in which Captain Kolb ac-
knowledges that he received $3.50 from the
republican campaign fund, which he ex-
pended in aiding Mr.. Vaughn in secur-
ing the republican craftsmanship of this
state and Mckinley in getting the dele
cation to the St. Louis convention. The
Mckinley Advertiser then propounds the
following question:
1.-THE question naturally suggests itself
as to how Kolb can be working for the
Bryan ticket now, when he was working
for Mckinley so short "A time since. What
is the secret of his flop?"
Captain Kolb might answer the ques-
ton by asking how can the Advertiser
be working for the election of a repub-
lican candidate for president now, when
it took part in the recent state primaries
and supported the democratic nominees
and pledged its support to the national
democratic nominees? what is the Sc
cret of this fop?"
When the Montgomery Advertiser can
call the kettle black it is high time to orr
der a carload of sapolio.
The State Herald does not defend Cap
tain Kolb for his miscomings, but of the
two evils we prefer a recanting sinner to
a dyed-in- the wool political infidel.
