JOY in Georgia.

There's joy in old Georgia
When melon time comes;
They don't blow the trumpets.
They don't beat the drums;
But The bee not SO blithcly
His honey-song huns.
As the bells ring in Georgia
When melon time comes!
In the breezy fence corner
They grow green and round,
Fulfilling the scripture
They "cumbcr the ground.
But naught in lifc's treasures
OF learning or art.
Hath half the rare pleasures
OF the melons, red heart!

The Father Had to Own That His Daugh-
ter Knew Better Than He Did.

The daughter Of an elderly couple said
Tn her father: Papa, why don't you send
mamma q valentine this yeary Ii would
please her SO much and be such a surprise
If Won didpp He answered readily enough
that he would be willing, "but / don't
know what to get. Flowers, should 1t be,
or candy, or jc,elryS" i.
They were very wealthy people, and
none of these offerings struck the daughter
as novel enough TO particularly delight her
mother. ~ think best of all, she an
nounced, "she would like something very
sentimental"
Her father began to shake his head.
"We'ye been married 20 years, you
know he started to say. But she In
terrupted him briskly: "That's the very
reason. Let's try IL and see. You get her
a yalentine--a true, true valentine, and
oh, papa, find one with apple blossoms on
it; they are mammals favorite flowers.
And we'll see IL il docs not make her hap
pier than all those expensive things we
gave her ut Christmas put together"
The still dubious but obedient paren,
accordingly sailed out in his search fol
the proper Offering. He found the apple
blossoms, but only on a comparativel,
cheap valentine. However, as the true
American father Is trained 10 mind hi
children, he docilely bought the flower be
decked tribute and brought 10 home.
They set it up on the chiffonier In th'
maternal dressing room, so that she shouls
see it there the first thing on the l4th O
February. And there her husband present
ly found her--remember this Is a tru,
story-in tears before his gift. John,
am sc happy" she said. And she kisset
him, although they had been married 10
quarter of century "You never CAV
me a diamond that went to my heart
| that card does, dear"
Then John knew that his daughter un

publishing Obscene Advertising.
Washington. Feb. 16.'-The supreme
court has decided the case OF Joseph
r., Dunlop. publisher OF the Chicago
Dispatch. charged with sending obscene
matter through the malls. The verdict
OF the district court, which was against
DunloE and carried with II sentence
OF two years imprisonment, was afhrm-
ed.
The court decided all the excep-
tions TO the rulings OF the district court
against Dunlop. Referring To one OF
these, adjuring the jury TO the exercise
OF common sense. the court said:
Their sound common sense brought tc
bear upon the consideration OF testimony
and In obedience TO rules laid down by
the court is the most valuable feature
OF the jury system, and has done more
to preserve it's popularity than any
apprehension that bench OF judges
will wilfully misuse their power
Referring to another exception Judge
Brown said:
1T Is not the charge given by the court
that was too broad. but the construc-
tion put upon II by counsel. The alleged
obscene and indecent matter consisted
of advertisements by women soliciting
or Offering inducements for the visits
of men totheir rooms. sometimes under
the gulse OF baths and massage and
often for the mere purpose OF ac-
auaintance. 1t was I'm this connection
that the court charged the jury, that
II the publications were such as were
calculated TO 'deprave the morals, they
ware within the statutes There could
have been no possible misapprehension
on their part as to what was meant.
Summing up. the court said:
upon a careful consideration or the
record In this case we are OF the opinion
that there was no error OF which the de-
fendant was Justly entitled TO complain.
