The centennial dispute as TO when the
new century begins is again upon us, and
it is said that in some quarters angry
debates are being INDUCED in. Is 1t Jan.
l, 1900, or Jan. /, 1901? English authorities
incline toward the latter date as being
more in consonance with ordinary meth
DDS of reckoning time 1t is a question,
no doubt, on which many win stumble
and then fall down; but the probabilities
are that individual opinion will not change
the time of the century's beginning, when
ever that may be.

that 1t might not be bad idea for him

parties. Mr.. Bryan, however knows
what he is doing and the people every

ested in watching him do it.

Solicitor General. Charles D. Hill of the
Atlanta circuit has answered the charges
made against Gov. Atkinson in connection
with his use of the pardoning power. The
popullsts have made severe attacks upon
the governor because he pardoned Adolf
plus Duncan, colored, and refused to
grant a pardon to or commute the sent
ence of Arthur Hanye. In regard to the
Duncan case, Solicitor Hill says he him
self was satisfied from the evidence that
it was a case of mistaken identity on the
part of the victim, and so informed Gov.
Atkinson and urged him to grant the par
don. In the Hanye case, he says, the gov
ernor very rightly decided that the truth
in the evidence would not justify him in
interfering with the sentence Of the law.
Solicitor Hill, in speaking of these two
cases, says he has never known an official
more conscientious or laborious in the in
vestigation of every case, than Gov. At
kinson. This should silence the govern
ors traducers.

for . northern story paper. That was 10
years ago, and to the story he gave his

1t, but year after year went by and-the
story appeared. 1t finally passed
from his remembrance, until the other
day. when be received n letter from the
publishers informing him that it would
shortly put in IN appearance in serial
form. That made the author nervous,
and he forthwith sent the following tel
egram:

script and will pay three times amount
Of original check"
The publishers replied:
Cant do it. We know n good thing
when we have it. The story is i'll your

gram passed. but no. he didn't have

TALE OF A RUNAWAY PIG,
Els FondnesA For Potato Patches Led Hi

Els Fondness For Potato Patches Led Hin
Into Trouble.
In the old home we once had a funny
little pig. He was generally to be seen
in the act of running away. Hardly ever
DO l remember seeing his face toward
me. He also had a knack Of getting
away from all the other pigs.
The field next the house-the ''home
held,' as we used to crll twas a kind
OF common for the hogs, cattle and
fowls. The next was a potato field, and
the little pig had taken it into hishead 10
get into that one. How he got in no one
could tell. for the field was we'll fenced
and there was no opening through which
he could enter. How did he get in?
One day l watched. He wandered II.
q sort of unnoticeable way toward o
crooked old log, across which the fence
had been built.
Suddenly. though closely watching, I
lost sight of my little friend. But before
l had recovered from my surprise l was
astonished to see him in the potato field.
We'll. now, that is very strange" I
said. blow did he do it?"
l went to the old log, and. 10, it was
hollow. The whole trick became quite
clear to me.
l went into the potato field to drive
him out, intending to steer him toward
the end of the log so that he might get
out the same way he got in. Here he
had the best of me entirely. He either
could not or would not see the log and
maintained such an cir of ignorance Gu
that point that l had to give up the task
in despair, drive him out by the gate
and bring him home by a long, round
about way.
The next day I made up my mind to
play a trick OF him, and l did. I went
out very early and moved the log just a
little 80 that both ends would be in the
"home field"
Then l stood at some distance Off and
watched. never was more amused in
my life. He separated himself from the
other pigs and then went toward the old
log and got in and through it and (aa
he evidently ~thought) got ont into the
potato field. l could understand this by
the way he Immediately began to sulff
for the potatoes. But, finding none, he
seemed somewhat puzzled.
Somehow it dawned on him that he
was still in the ''home field and he con
cluded that he had not gone through the
log. So he went through it once more,
but only to find himself again in the
''home field"
This seemed to puzzle him more than
ever. He looked around in establishment.
l could clearly see that expression on
his face. For n moment he stopped and
was evidently thinking very hard. Once
more he got through the log, with tho
same result of finding himself III the
''home field"
This time. l am sure. if he could have
talked he would have cried out,
"Spooks!'
He stood quite still for n few seconds,
shifted the air, and l could distinctly
see the bristles OH his back gradually
rising up Oh end. Suddenly he uttered
a peculiar kind of book" and ran with
all his might toward the other pigs.
The little pig was never seen in that
part of the field again. Many time we
tried to drive him to the old log. but we
could not get him to go.-Ladies' Jour

A Hungry Newspaper Reporter Who In
vited Himself to Grants Table.
After the officers Mt headquarters had
obtained what sleep they could get, they
arose about daylight, feeling that in all
probability they would witness before
night either Il fight or u foot acct
fight if the armies encountered each
other, a foot race to secure good posi-
lions if the armies remained apart.
General Meade had started south at
dawn, moving along the Germanna road.
General Grant intended to remain in his
present camp till Burnside arrived, in
order to give him some directions in per-
son regarding his movements. The gen.
eral sat down to the breakfast table aft
or nearly all the staff officers had finish
ed their morning meal. While he was
slowly slipping his coffee II young news
paper reporter, whose appetite. combin-
ed with his spirit of enterprise, had
gained u substantial victory over his
modesty, slipped up to the table, took q
seat at the farther end and remarked,
"Well, wouldn't mind taking a cup of
something warm myself if there's no
objection" Thereupon seizing a coffee
pot he poured out a full ration Of that
soothing army beverage. and, after help
ing himself to some of the other dishes.
proceeded to eat breakfast with an appe-
tite which had evidently been stimulated
by long hours CT fasting.
The general paid n0more attention to
this occurrence than he would have paid
to the flight Of a bird across his path.
He scarcely looked ut the intruder, did
not utter u word at the time ard made
no. mention Of it afterward. 1t was a
fair sample Of the imperturbnbility of
his nature as to trivial matters taking
place about him-General Horace Por-

AMERICANS AS MUSICIANS.

Nine. Cslve Says They Have the Charac.
teristics Of the ~Conquering Race.
Mime. Emma Calve contributes q pa
per on the "Conquering Race In Music"
to The Ladies' Home Journal, in which
she specially addresses students of vocal
music. She tells of the training re-
quired for the operatic and the concert
stage, the i"mpersonation of character,
the value Of suggestions, ETC., and pays
this tribute to Americans: 1.-THE Amer
leans have, it seems to me, in the field
Of music, and especially in the field Of
vocal music, all Of the characteristics
Of the conquering race. They are pos
sessed naturally Of the most exquisite
voices, which, when properly cultivated
and trained, are almost unrivaled. They
have indomitable energy, perseverance
and pluck. They stop at nothing and are
deferred by no trouble and prevented
by no obstacle.
poverty, weariness, exertion, hard
work-none Of these living sptcters
which alright and terrify the average
art worker has terrors for them. Their
physique and their temperament seem
made for toll aud to surmount discour-
agement, and the success which they
are daily achieving, in the field Of both
operatio and concert singing, is testimo-
ny to their natural fitness for accom-
plishment and to their ability to excel.
They seem, in fact, to DO most lavishly
fitted by nature for the parts they are
assuming. To these gifts Of voice, encr-
gy, pluck and perseverance they fire..
Quently add q beauty Of face and grace
Of form and movement which the pub
lie recognizes as most important factors
in the success Of the singers career.
They have, too, the temperament which
makes great artists and great actresses,
the artistic feeling which has for its
standard perfection and which is sat
iEded with nothing less"
