CURIOUS BITS IN THE WHITE
MOUNTAINS

You may travel this country over, but
there is no section more interesting in
evcfy sense of the word than Ia the
White Mountain region Of New Hamp-
shire. Every resort within its confines
has les own particular wonders or scenic
@ttract lions, many of them being strange
yet decidedly interesting natural forma-
tiofs. Take, for instance, Elephant S
Head in Crawford's Notch-the rock de-
posits forlning the trunk, head, eye and
ear of gigantic elephant which can
he seen for a great distance. Then there
Is. in the Franconia region that most
widely known formation, the Profile or
Old Man Of the Mountain, which stands
guard over Profile Lake: and not far
distant is the great Cannon Rock, sur
mounting the mountain OF that name.
Down at North Conway is the oddly,
White Horse Ledge, and thus you will
find in every locality some marked
regularity that is wonderfully interest
Ing. Mount Pleasant and Fabyan's are
in the very heart of the mountain region,
and a short journey In various directions
will bring the tourist to Crawfdrd's, JEFF
ferson Jackson, Bartlett, Sugar Hill,
Bethlehem Maplewood. Twin Mountain,
Profile House, Littleton or Mount Wash

Range from hereabouts is exceptional.

To Disfranchise the Coon.

The committee on constitutional
amendments ef the Georgia house
Representatives have recommended
the passage of Representative
Hardwick's bill, disfranching the
Aegro. The bill imposes an educat-
ional qualification. The object is to
rid the state of purchasable votes.
We believe nothing would suit the
northern republican better than to
have the negro in the South dis
franchised, for it would cut down
the South s representationin con
gress, and would give thet North a
full sweep to elect a republican con-
gress from year to year. We had
better keep the negro vote and buy
it rather than to turn over the
country entirely to Mark Hanna.
We admit that the negro vote is a
bitter pill to swallow, but it would
be sweet rather than see our South
ern states cut down in the number
of congressman we are now entitled
to, on the representation of the
votes cast, than to go to Washing
ton and see our congress filed full
of Hannas who have nothing in
their heart but hatred for our
Southland.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

New YORK Press
1t is curious that thing
which will lose a man a woman's
friendship won't lose him her
love.
When a girl makes up her
mind that she wants a man she
begins to pretend that she is in
terested in his work.
Some we'll meaning people go
through life as badly misunder-
stood as cross-eYed girl un-
der the mistletoe.
Just because woman cries
hard at another woman's
funeral is no sign that she was
her dearest friend.
There never lived an old
maid who didn't believe that
she could have been married if
he had wanted to.
If every man could see the
girl he is in love with eat her
dinner when nobody was watch
ing her there would be more old
bachelors.
The most fatal kind of heart
failure is the kind that people
don't die of.
A man is called eccentric only
until he gets d-headed; after
that he's a fool.
