"Let the children ask all the ques-
tions they want to, is the domestic
motto of gentleman connected with
the Smithsonian institution. In his
case the rule is safer than it would be
in most homes, for he is regarded by
his acquaintances as a compendium of
almost any branch of learning that
happens to come under discussion.
His boys, having his reputation as an
endorsement of their natural confidence
in his wisdom, regard him as infalli-
BILE. Being youths Of active intellect,
they never allow him to run any risk
of cnnui. He had just put on his
overcoat and had his hand on the door
knob when one of them hailed him.

tiful as silk nor so strong as flax nor
so warm as wool, and hence for years
it was woven only into the common
fabrics for the common people. The
calicos that were imported from Cali
cut in Turkey, were spun with dis
taft and woven in the old-fashioned
hand loom. The nankeen cloth that
came from Nankin in China was made
by similar process. [ remember that
my father, who was merchant.
bought some Of that nankecn when |
was lad and my mother made me a
pair of pants and round jacket out
of it and I was proud and yellow. 1t
was not until the 40's when the finer
fabrics, such as muslins and lawns,
were made of cotton. In 1912 ma
chine was invented of so delicate a
nature that single pound of cotton
was spun to length of LOO miles,
and in 1851 some cloth of exquisite
ineness was woven expressly for a
dress for the Queen of England and
was exhibited at the Crystal Palace
Fair in London lin that year. But it
is asserted that no machinery has ever
surpassed the hand work Of the Hin
docs and that Montezuma presented
Cortez with robes of cotton interviewer
with feather work that revealed the
delicacy of the finest painting.
But Notwithstanding the inventions
of the spinning jenny and the power
loom, our country people continued
for years to spin and weave their own
cloth, and the female slaves were
made to do so by their master. The
spinning wheel was the first to sur
render, and the factory yarn, or "spun
truck" as it was called, came into
general use along in the 4Os. In a
few years more the homemade loom
had to 60, and since the war the wheel
and the loom have ceased their music
in the homes of our people.
It was not until after the close Of
the war of 1912 that even the northern
people bought any cloth from El.
gland. Until about 1916 England had
none to sell or export, but from that
time until 1924 its expectation IN
creased very rapidly and almost paral-
yzed our New England mills. But IN
that year and in 1928 and 1882 Con-
gress placed duty Of 25 per cent. I'd
volorem on all English cotton, ard
this protection greatly revived o,lr
own manufactures. This tariff w;!s
reduced in 1916 and the outside word
given fair chance to compete.
But cotton is still king-king in
the southern field and the facto-
ries and in the carrying trade on tie
ocean and Liverpool and other great
markets of the world. Whether we
make large crops or small ones, it is
still the greatest factor in the world s
comfort and prosperity. Long live

go, Mighty Chief, Father of all
tribes. Judge between the pale face
and the red man now. The great chief
is about to be driven away from the
home of his fathers. The pale face
has taken all he possessed and is still
not satisfied. If this is right the red
man will bow down. If it is not, the
red man calls down the curse of the
Great Chief upon them. May the pale
face never profit by what he has thus
acquired. May the land sink and
crack open! May the waters that come
from above sweep the soil into the
Chattahoochee, and may every grain
of sand find it's way into the ocean!
Great Father, the red man has spok-

His head dropped upon his bosom
and he remained motionless upon his
knees. Several started toward him
and bade him rise and depart. He
needed not. They caught hold Of
him and tried to raise MIN. His head
fell back, and then in the soft moons
CLEAN they saw he had already done
their bidding. The once-proud chief
had gone. He had departed from the
home of his fathers. His soul was al
ready riding free again over the infinite
stretches of the Happy Hunting
Grounds.

The Value OF the Bible.

We are grateful to Mr.. Edward Box,
editor of the Ladies Home Journal, for
his candid reply to young man who
inquired, "Why is it that so many in
telligent men are disbelievers in the
Bible?" ''It is not says Mr.. Box,
''it is exactly the contrary; the vital
truths of the Bible are more fully ac.
cepted and more thoroughly believed
by intelligent men at the present time
than at any other period in the world 8
history; when man becomes too in
telligent to believe in the Bible, and
too progressive to be Christian, his
usefulness as a business man, as a
member of society and as companion
for other men is over; every young
man should bear this fact in mind;
there are no two sides to the question;
he can make no greater nor fatal mis-
take in life than to harbor or accept
the notion that lack of faith in the
Bible means progressiveness; on the
other hand, it means everything that
is contrary to right, reason and prog
ress." That is a secular opinion, but
nothing coming from the pulpit or re-
ligious press could be more dogmatic
and perpendicular in its affirmation;
but it is not too clear and emphatic, for
nothing is so dogmatic as truth, and
Mr.. Box, in the above lines, has spok-
en- truth which is too often forgotten
in the world of today, and not infre-
quently by faint-hearted Christians
themselves. Remember this. The bat
tie for God and for truth is not wan
ing; it is waxing stronger constantly,
and for evidence of this, we do not 60
to the pulpit, but to the secular ora
cles, which are sometimes even more
infallible in the testimony-more in
fallible because strictly impartial.
Girard, the infdel millionaire of
Philadelphia, one Saturday ordered
all his clerks to come on the morrow
to his wharf and help unload newly
arrived ship. One young man replied
quietly:
"Mr. Girard, I can't work on Sun
days"
"You know our rules
eyes, I know. I have mother to
support, but I can't work on Sun
days
"Well, step up to the desk and the
cashier will settle with you
For three weeks the young man
could find no work, but one day a
banker came to Girard to ask if he
could recommend a man for cashier in
a new bank. The discharged young
man vas at once named as a suitable
person.
"But," said the banker, ''you dis
missed him.

on Sundays. A man who would lose
his place for conscience sake would

It is said that John Wesley was
once walking with brother, who re-
lated to him his troubles, saying he
did not know what he should do.
They were at that moment passing a
stone fence to meadow, over which
a COW was looking.
'Do you know asked Wesley,
"why the cow looks over that WALTZ
"No," replied the one in trouble.
"L willtell you," said Wesley; "be-
cause she cannot look through it.
And that is what you must do with
your troubles-look over and above
them" ."-Ran,s Horn.
