The Late DR.. Hoge.

WE do not recall in the last half
century that the death Of any South
ern minister of the gospel has been
received with SO many expressions OF
regret and SO much elaborate notice
at the hands of the public press as
the death OF Rev. DR.. Moses ID. Hogc
has received. Telegraphic messages,
notices in Northern newspapers, ex-
tended and impressive addresses and
other testimonials OF great respect.
admiration and sorrow have dis
tinguished the whole manifestations.
The Richmond dailies occupied per-
haps in all three pages each in pub
fishing these expressions OF a common
regret and admiration, and the
preparations for burial and the
funeral services. DIR. Hoge's character
WAS so high. his abilities SO COM
manding, his nobility OF soul SO
conspicuous, his oratory so attrac-
tive, his usefulness so long continued
and active, that it is well for a COM
mon South to sorrow over the passing
away OF so eminent, so richly en-
dowed, SO admirable a Southron, SO
full of good works and Christian
conservation. Like full sheaf the
good man has fallen. and like Words
worth's warrior" the faithful
servant of God has at last yielded
10 the inevitable. Faithful in all
things death really "makes no con.
quest of this conqueror'' for the good
man never dies. Messe"-

re member we'll the lessons that learned
in Younger DAYS,
When the posies on the praries were my
friends,
When | rambled 'mong the roses on
bright and shiny day,
On the creek, little ways around the
bend.
Those were davs of fieeting fancies that
never shall forget
Then my mother used to sing me sound
asleep,
And l used to dream of futures that
never dream of now,
When prayei the Lord my soul forever
keep.
There were sOrrOws-little baubles-that
were easy blown away,
And with little bOthers | would often
meet:
But there's one that remember-that l
never can forget
When my mother said had to wash my
feet.
Oh, the agonies of moments that l used to
spend in PRAYER,
With the hope of some direct reform in
this;
And used to tell my mother what a bet
ter boy I'd be
If there only came night that could
miss.
How / wish that | might go back again to
that old home of mine,
Where mother and the roses are so
sweet,
And sit there on the doorstep, like l
always used to do,
And puddle in the water with my feet.
Now know that | would like it, and it
wouldn't be a task
And wouldn't grOwl at mother all the
while
But I'd 90 and get the bucket, and the bar
If laundry soap.
And wash 'em with ten by-twenty

Winnie Davis.

The affection given by the Southern
States to Miss Winnie Davis was
something very beautiful. A writer
in the Washington Post describes the
enthusiasm with which she was re-
ceiyed when she attended the Con-
federate reunion at Atlanta, the larg
est and most complete gathering of
the sort ever held in the South.
"Winnie Davis is coming to-day"
was the word circulated among the
crowd, and the faces of the old sol
diers grew bright, while women loud
ly expressed their joy in seeing her
once more.
"Miss Winnie is coming to-day!'
$50 they say. Well, can shake
hands with her once more before |
am gone"
"Who's coming? Winnie Davis?
God bless her! She doesn't ever for
get u.s.
"She's the sweetest woman on
Gods earth.'
s.Let me see Miss Winnie Davis
just once more before I die,' said
many and many an old soldier, "and
1 shall die happy"
s.Three cheers for Miss Winnie!
She reached the platform where the
leaders of the men were gathered,
Gordon, Hooker, Lee, Cabell and the
rest. AS she stepped to the front the
music grew louder, more triumphal,
cheers rent the air, and old General
Gordon turned and gave her the kiss
of welcome.
"Our daughter" he said, quietly.
In another moment the little white
clad figure stood under the big wood
en- framework of the gallery; her
eyes were shining with tears, and her
face was wonderfully bright and glad.
Cheers broke out. A path was open
ed, and she passed slowly toward the
platform through maze of out
stretched hands, bony and wrinkled
hands, many of them MANNED or dis
torted. She took them, one by one,
in her strong, young grasp.
"How do you do, sir? How do you
do?n she cried, with such force of
welcome in her tones that some old
soldiers bent down and sobbed. Il
am glad to see you, sir
And so she passed on, bearing
kindliness and good cheer.
These are dangerous times for the
health. Group, colds and throat troubles
lead rapidly to Consumption. A bottle of
One Minute Cough Cure used at the right
time will preserve life, health and large
amount of money. Pleasant to take; chill

THE DYING PARSON.
Last nessage to His UnfaithfuI Flock
A Pathetic and Satirical Story as
Told by Bob Burdette.

The pastor of struggling church
was lying in bed; three months ar
rears of salary was pillowing his
head his couch was strewn with
tradesmen's bills that pricked his
heart like thorns, and nearly all life's
common ills were goading him like
horns.
The deacon sat beside him as the
moments licked away, and bent his
head to catch the words the parson
had to say.
"If never shall arise from this
hard bed on which I lie; if my war
fare is accomplished and it's time for
me to die; take message to the jani-
tor before l pass away-tell him fires
are for December and the windows
are for May. Tell him when he lays
the notices upon the pulpit's height,
to shove them meath the cushion, far
out of reach and sight. And when he
hears the preachers voice, in whis-
pers soft expire, that is the time to
slam the doors and rattle at the fire.
"And now the deacons-tell the
deacons, too, through all the busy
sun to hatch Sunday squeak; with
steel shod canes to poke the man who
comes to church : to snore, and use
the boys who laugh in church to mop
the vestry floor.
There's another, too-the woman
who talks the sermon through; tell her
l do not mind her buzz-my listening
days are few. Tell her to leave her
mouth at home Sunday, for minute,
and listen to text, at least without
whisper in it.
"And tell the board of trustees not
to weep with bitter tears, for l can't
be any deader than they have been
for years. And tell half my congre-
CATION that I'm glad salvation's free;
for that's the only chance for them
between the desk and me.
"And farewell to the choir. How
the name my memory racks! If they
could get up their voices as they do
get up their backs! Why, the stars
would join their music and the well
kin would rejoice, while the happy
congregation could not hear single
voice But tell them forgive them,
and oh tell them that said wanted
them to come and sing above me-
when I'm dead"
His voice grew faint and hoarse, but
it gave laughing break, kind of
gurgling chuckle as minister might
make. But the deacon rose up slow
ly and sternly he looked down upon
the parsons twinkling eyes with the
| most portentious frown. And he
stiffly said, ''Good-morning,' as he
walked out in his ire, for the deacon
was the leader of that amiable choir.

Smarty know-AIIS.

We want. says a writer in West
ern paper, to hear just one sermon
from the man who can beat the
preacher preaching. We want to
witness one days teaching by the
same fellow who can beat the teacher
teaching We want to watch the
fellow do days plowing that can
beat the farmer plowing. And there's
the fellow who knows more about
medicine than all the doctors in the
universe: we want to see him practice
his art OF himself just for one day.
And then there is the fellow who can
beat the editor ten to one getting out
a paper. We want to see what kind
of a sheet he will issue from the
press. The trouble with such
characters is that they cannot attend
to their own business, and therefore
they know all about that OF other
people.

numbers. But he was always careful
Of the lives of his soldiers, and in
the care which he took of his men far
the superior of Napoleon in his cele-
brated Italian campaigns.
"And. did he have the personal cour-
age TO arouse and inspire his soldiers?
What great general ever had the con-
fidence of his men to the extent that
Jackson had? Under fire he was al
ways grand and inspiring. To ques-
ton Of mine as to how he felt under
fire the first time, he replied: Il was
only afraid the fire would not be hot
enough for me to distinguish myself
jackson did not favor the black
flag, though he did say, in speaking
of the horrors and sufferings of war;
that he sometimes wondered whether
it might not be the surest way to end
them. But he never advocated that
policy. However, in reply to my
query as to what to do since the
North had invaded our soil and in
suited our women and hanged our
men. he said: DO? Do? Why shoot
them of courser
jackson often laughed, catching
his knee with both hands and leaning
back his body, convulsed with much
mirth, but there was no sound. Off
the battle field he impressed me al
most more than on it.
''His career was wonderful in many
respects; it took him only two years
to place himself among the great
commanders of all ages. 1t took
Caesar eight years to win his fame; it
took Napoleon twenty years to win
his laurels; Hannibars career ex-
tended over period of more than tif-
teen years. No other great command
er in history won fame in so short a
time as Jackson.
'.Beforc Charlottesville Jackson
wrote the message which said that
the enemy had made stand at Chan
cellorsville and that, trusting in God,
he hoped to win victory. Hooker
telegraphed to Washington that the
enemy would have to come out and
fight him or fly. The difference in
the messages these men sent tells
plainly the different characters of the
men. Jackson's was characteristic Of
him and showed him as he was.
Il have told you, perhaps, much
that you already know. But love
does not seek new stories to tell; she
tenderly tells the old ones again and
again.
In closing the speaker paid an elo-
quent and touching tribute to Lee,
and spoke of the noble friendship the
two great leaders of the Confederacy
bore each other. The whole adde's
was magnificent and invoked hearty
applause at times, as we'll as tears at
other times.

If the money spent in repairing
our vehicles, in keeping up our
horses and the value of the time lost
in the South during the last twenty
years caused by our poor highways
had been placed upon the roads the
South would to-day have highways
that would rival those of Europe,

expense more than she has already
had to bear.

The popular notion concerning
clergymen is that they are too digni-
fled to enjoy joke, not to speak of
perpetratiag one. This is mistake.
Many members of the ministerial
profession can enjoy an innocent bit
of pleasantly just as well as the rest
of mankind. A clergyman out in
Iowa, for example, recently filled his
church by announcing that he would,
on the following Sunday, preach, on
"A Family Scandal" and then gave
them the moral lessons on the do
mestic life Of Adam and Eve.

The sheep industry deserves richly

There is no cause but devouring dogs
