THE SAILOR Of THE SAIL

Thomas Fleming Day author of
Songs of Sea and SAIL who is himself
q sailor has done the task which was
waiting for some one to do; he has
bridged the transition from sail TO
steam and written the cpitaph of the
old British sailor
In the following. which is one Of the
poems his book contains, there is vi
rility and strength almost equal to Kip
ling and some as fine examples Of
strong antithesis as can be found in
literature:
sing the sailor of the said. breed of
the oaken heart,
who drew the world together and
spread our race apart,
Whose conquests are the measure of
of thrice the oceans girth.
Whose trophies are the nations, that
necklace half the earth.
Lord of the Blunt and Gasket, and mas
ter of the yard
To whom no land was distant, to whom
no sea was barred;
who battled with the current; who
conquered with the wind;
who shaped the course before him by
the wake he left behind;
Who burned in twenty climates who
froze i'm twenty seas;
Who crept the shore of Labrador and
flashed the Carbbees;
who followed Drake; who fought
with Blake who broke the bar of
Spain,
And who gave to tlmid traffic the
freedom of the main.
To whom all things were barter-slaves,
spices, gold, and gum;
Who gave his life for glory; who sold
his soul for rum
l sing him, and l see him as only
those can see
Who stake their lives to fathom that
solveless mystery;
Who on the space of waters have fought
the killing gale,
Have heard the crying of the spar, the
moaning of the sail;
Who never see the ocean but that
they feel its hand
Clutch like a Siren at the heart to
drag it from the land
1 see him in the running, when seas
would overwhelm,
Lay breathing hard along the yard and
sweating at the helm.
I see him drunk and fighting roll
through some seaboard town,
When those who own and rob him
take to the street and frOwn.
%, Sovereign of the Boundless! o,
Bondsman of the Wave:
Who made the world dependent, yet
lived and died a slave.
In Britains vast Valhalla, where
sleep her worst and best
Where is the grave she made you
your first and final rest?
Beneath no stone or trophy, beneath nc
minister tower,
Lie those who gave her Empire, who
stretched her arm to power.
Below those markless pathways
where commerce shapes the trail
Unsung, unrung, forgotten, sleeps
the Sailor of the Sail.

The church premises require great

in fact, every summer, irrigating has

SNAKE IN A TRAP.

One of the most deadly snakes in In
dia was caught by an army officer in a
small mouse trap a few weeks ago.
The officer, just as he was going to
bed, noticed something dart from the
door of his bedroom, and, thinking 1t
to be a muskrat, he set the trap for
it, placing it against the edge of the
wall, close to his bed. When he got
up in the morning the snake was found
with it's head crushed in the trap.

AN OLD SOLDIER.

We had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Aaron OFT, at the home of Mr.. A. NJ
Summers in Lincoln county last week.
He lives three miles from Topisaw
Baptist church, of which he is mem
Der, and came over to attend the
Bogue Chitto Association. He was
born in Pike county in July, 1919, and
is, therefore, in the 8lst year of his
age. While conversing with him he
casually spoke of his military service
and we asked in what war had he been
engaged. He replied that he was a
Confederate soldier, and belonged to
Company G., ninth Louisiana Infantry
Mr.. w. B. Tull, of this place, who
was sitting near, heard the reply, and
at once engaged the old gentleman in
conversation. Mr. Tull was member
of the same company and the two
soon renewed acquaintance, and had a
long conversation about the times
which tried mems souls, and the re-
miniscences given by them proved
highly entertaining to the other guests
1t is said no truer soldier answered
roll call in either army than Mr.. OFT
and Notwithstanding his four score
years, he wanted to go to Cuba last
year, but his good wife, who is 72, per
suaded him to remain at home He
said if Stonewall jackson had lived,
the South would have whipped the
North in the war between the States
Always of delicate health, Mr.. Tull
says not one in the company thought
Mr.. OFT would live through the war
but he did, and the four wounds he re-
ceived show that he was proof
against Yankee bullets. He was the
last Confederate to surrender, and has
never been reconstructed. He was
engaged in battle, he says, when he
heard that Gen. Lee had surrendered
and he cried when he heard the news
He was the oldest man in Com
pany G. and the frailest, and Mr.. Tull
was certainly surprised to learn that
he was still alive.
May God grant this brave old sol.
dier many more years in this life, and
may his declining days be full of hap
piness.-Magnolia Gazette.

AID. SENSE,

Almost every advertiser has his
theory about the proper season for
advertising. Some say that there is
no use trying to force trade when it is
dull; others say that trade is good
enough at certain seasons, and they
only want more trade in such and such
months. Hence they advertise in that
time only. Some regard must be paid
TO season without doubt, and advertise
ments should be worded so as to be sea-
sonable; but people read the news
papers about as much at one time as
another, and if at certain periods an
advertisement is not likely to be quite
productive, that fact keeps competing
advertisements out of the newspaper
columns, and consequently gives the
whole field to the man who does adver-
Use at that time, thus making the dull
season ston in truth season of plenty.
we would not recommend druggist

9ary,, nor should "Arctic over-shoes'

1t begins to look as if every county
in the State would order publication
of the poll tax delinquents. Rankin
is the latest to make such an order
and county papers are beginning to
dispute as to which county was the
first to make such an order. The
LEADER claims the honor for Lincoln
county. The publication of such de-
linquents brings to the attention, in
black and white, of the taxpayers,
the names of the men who are shirk-
ing their good citizenship and reaping
the benefits of the tax money of their
neighbors in the matter of public edu-
cation for their children, not to men
ton the fact that such delinquents,
under the constitution, are debarred
from voting and yet they come into

CRIMINAL ANIMALS.
Facts from q Naturalists Study of
Thoroughly Wicked Wild
Beasts

Z. Seton Thompson, naturalist to the
government of Manitoba, gives in his
book, 'Wild Animals 1 Have Known"
some curious examples of depravity
among wild beasts.
The best story is that of the New
Mexican wolf who led band that killed
COW day for five years. Finally the
ranchers offered $1,000 for this VOLTS
pelt. He was easily distinguished. His
track was an inch wider than that of
other wolves.
\ professional wolf hunter tried to
earn the bounty, but the wolves killed
his dogs and he gave it up. Then Mr..
Thompson took the case. He melted
cheese in the fat of heifer, in china
dish, cut it into Jumps with Il bone knife
to avoid the faint of metal, and put in
strychnine and cyanide in odor-proof
capsules. lie wore gloves STEPPED in
cows blood, and avoided breathing on
the bats.
The bats were picked up. He fol-
lowed the track and found that the wolf
had laid all four together and scattered
dirt over them.
The wolves then took to killing sheep.
Traps were set to the number of 100 in
different parts of the ranch. The trails
of the big wolf and of the pack were
traced up to one set Of traps and the
doings of the leader were marked in
the dust
He had stopped the rest, warned by
scent, and scratched around the trap
till he found the buried chain and
he entered an H-shaped series of traps
and detected the danger The trail
showed that he had slowly backed out
on his own track, putting each paw
down backward until out of the dan
gerous ground. He had then sprung
some of the traps by scratching doGs
and stones backward at them with his
hind feet.
He was at last caught by dragging
over the traps the body of a female
wolf, the scent of which he followed.
No more slillful criminal than this
wolf was ever known. "Old Eph,'
lame grizzly, which in two years ruined
half the hog-raisers in the Sacra-
mento valley b. his wastcful love OF
pork, was q close second.
A hob-tailcd wolf kept the whole
city Of Paris in terror for ten years
at the beginning of the fourteenth cen
fury, and the Lochnee panther, in In
dia, killed 300 human beings In less
than two years.
\ famous rogue dog OF Derbyshire
was conspicuous by his faithful care of
sheep in the daytime, but WAS SAVAGE
and ugly toward men strangers. 1t
slept in the house, and was never sus-
Fected, though sheep-worrying took
place on the farms near.
At last it was tracked in the snow
from the fold where 20 sheep had
been killed to the farm where it lived,
the dog having forgotten that the track
would show, though it took partial
means to conceal it by running along
the top of a stone wall.-N. Y. Journal
