lican electors. send delegates to the con- ventions in proportion to the population in stead of the republican vote. On the latter basis the number of delegates would natur- ally be very small, and if it were enforced they would no longer be a factor in a re- publican convention.
 It is easy to understand the feeling of jealousy with which the representatives of stalwart republican state like Pennsyl- vania find their sixty-four votes more than offset by the combination of Texas, Missis- sippi and Alabama, although Pennsylvan- ia's thirty-two electoral votes are always to be counted for a republican presidential candidate At the same time, it is extremely improbable that any change will be made, nor are we convinced that it ought to be. As well might New York and Ohio protest against the equality of representation which Nevada and Utah enjoy with them in the United States senate. As well might democratic convention insist on curtailing the numerical strength of the delegations from Iowa or Minnesota because those states invariably assist in the election of republican candidate. In fact, if the pro- posed change should be inaugurated, it would prove at variance with the principles upon which this government Is founded and would lead to endless bitterness and confusion.

"Iim Key" Will Be Exhibited
 Under Auspices of Woman's Club

The Woman's club will conclude all ar- engagements today for the exhibition of "Jim Key,'' the educated horse, which will be given under the auspices of the club. The horse is said to be the most inteli- gent in the world, and is being used in tie interest of the humane societies of the United States as an object lesson to show what kindness will do. The exhibition will begin Tuesday, the 18th, and will be either at the opera house or the Auditorium. The history of the horse is remarkable one. He came into possession of an ante-bellum negro of Tennessee, who calls himself Doctor Key" and though the ownersh.p D of the horse has passed from the negro to MT. A. R. Rogers, of New York, Doc tor Key" is still Jim Keys manager. In reference to the remarkable te.Egence of the horse, the following letter from w. F. Slaton, superintendent of the Atlanta pub lie schools. was read recently before the Womans club:
 Beautiful Jim Key is a most wonderful horse; surely the most wonderful l ever saw. The amount of information displayed by the horse is truly astoudlng, and to me inexplicable. His ability to spell, to cai- culate with figures, to change money, and many other things equally as wonderful, Is superior to any exhibition of sense I
  Even had he learned what he disp.a from his master, he shows an amount of in- formation so remarkable that he is worthy of study by all persons, old and young. WAat will not kindness and patience ac- complish?
 Jim Key is a democrat-constant and unswerving. Even President Mckinley could not induce him to change his pol- tics when the president had a chat with him on the grounds of the Nashville ex- position. The horse recognized the pres- dent told him his name and politics, but persisted in remaining democrat.
 "'Why, Jim,' said President Mckinley, you know that I'm a republican. yet you tell me that you're democrat
 "When the horse nodded and emphatic affirmative, the president continued:
 Well, there's one living being in the country, at least, who won't change his politics for an ofice.'"

MY TASK

Frances D. Pope in Boston Transcript. My Master set a task for me to do, A fragment in the web of life to weave, And bade me toi the changing seasons
 through, Until the fabric finished could leave; So day by day, in sun or gathering gloom, I wrought my Masters work upon the
 loom. One day came Fame, a-knocking at my With beaming eyes and soul-ensnaring
 hair; She held a crystal lens my gaze before And showed me all her Kingdoms wide and
 fair; '"These dazzling realms may all be thine,"
 said she. Leave thy degrading task and follow me-" So lovely was she with those kndlng eyes, I stayed my loom, forgot my tangled
 thread; -sAo Then recalled my Masters grieved sur And, turning from her, Duty first" said; She drowned and went her way, and never
 moro Did she come knocking at my humble door. Then Pleasure came, with laughter on her
 lip, .a And clear, sweet tones that thrilled me
 whom she spoke; '"Too hard the task that claims thy Work-
 manship, Thy neck is bent beneath a cruel4yoke; Oh, comet" I followed her with captive
 sense, Then sought my loom again in penitence. Months grew to seasons, then in years were
 lost, While still wrought. whatever wind might
 blow; Against what odds. at what unreckoned
 cost, They only who have likewise toiled may
 know; My guide was Duty, resolute and stern, Yet gracious when her purpose we discern. For she has frightened all the weary time With sweetest flowers that she has taught
 to grow; Luxuriant vines about my doorway climb That shelter me alike from sun or snow; She beckons Love, who comes with gentle
 tread And breaks with me her loaf of pleasant
 bread. My work Is nearly done-in level lines The sunlight falls across my shortening
 thread; By this know life's busy day declines, And night comes on with few stars over-
 head; When morning dawns my Master shall see And understand the task he set for me.

 The fourth book of the series Is A life of George Dewey. The press has kept him constantly before the public for months, and it will suffice to say that the volume Is a clear and vivid epitome of his career and it accentuates the note of duty, which is with Dewey and all great men the keynote of life.
 While reading these books, so well calcu- lated to inspire and instruct, 1t is impossible not to regret that we have not similar biography of one the peer of these or of those of any race and time-our own Raphael SemmeS. Ills daughter at Mople yields a pen both graceful and forceful. We wish she could make leisure in the midst of her busy life to write for southern youth an annal of her brave father, which, were 1t half so fascinating as his service afloat, would soon be put in the supplement tary reading course of our public schools and in the travelling libraries now so popu- lar.
 It is ardently hoped that the revival of in- terest in schools and literature felt all over the south, will have as one of its results the founding of a great publishing house among us by which will be issued in cheap form books by southern teachers and literary people treating not only of the great word, but of our local histories and local heroes. Only by such methods will be known our contribution to the history of the country.
 A Life of Lee for Children" by Mrs. Williamson, is beyond all other biographies the one would select for boy or girl. But the price. $l.25, puts 1t beyond the reach of any but a few. How well 1t would be if some enterprising firm in the south could be established which would secure the right to print and then to sell at 10 cents apiece, books like Mrs. Williamson's. The sales would be thousands then, where now they are tens.
