"Yanker didee dudle down,
Didee dudel launter,
Yankee viver voover vown,
Botermelt und taunter."

Soon after being first sung this quaint
verse became so popular among all
classes in Holland that it became a truly
national song. 1t was sung in livelier
time than the old chant which it sup
planted.
While the great naval war OF the six
teenth century was in progress the Eng
lish, under Admiral Drake, caught the
tune. Much to the surprise of every
body, England broke the mighty sea
power of Holland, and when the fighting
was over the English people sang mock
ing parodies OF the old song against its
hated authors. Yankee was understood
to mean Dutchman. Since the Dutch
were sharp traders, the popular mean
ing OF the word came to be shrewd,
hard-headed, ungracious sort of fell
low. Holland then tried to forget the
song, and it thus passesd into the hands
of another nation.
All England sang varying words to it
till Oliver Cromwell's time. But one
day-the day that the great reformer
rode into Oxford at the head of the
rebels to battle with the Kings army
he wore in immense ostrich feather
fastened to his hat by band of heavy
silk "macaroni" cord. Yankee Doodle
then being term OF contemptuous ridi-
Guile, one OF the courtiers of the boastf,,l
King composed the famous refrain:

a criticism came to hand, that it was

A man lies fat on his back, bound so that
he cannot move an inch. He is in dun
geon, at first dark as a well, but in few min
utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows a
mechanical figure of Time with his scythe.
The figure dcscends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed Is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pit and the Pendulum"
The man awaiting the approach of q
dreadful death is type of large class of un-
fortunates who, entangled in the strangling
coils Of an octopus, have lost all hope free

the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first
use of the drug. If so, like the man in Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell

the disease has progressed so far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the heart ac-

body poorly nourished, the sight double.
This is soon followed by peculiar witch

NEW FORK FASHIONS

Stockings are as lavishly spapgled
as gowns or mi linery.
1t requires a hand with the true,
artistic touch, to place, feathers grace
fully on an up-to-date hat.
Some of the dainty silk and fur COL
lars seen are as ruffly looking as the
o!d-time capes on our grandmothers
hoods.
The layetses shown by Best 4 Co ,
are highly sensible and strictly hygenic
and if babies apparelled by this firm
are not fine and comfortable, it is their
own fault? Send four cents for the
catalogue picturing and describing
them.
A handsome rogue cape is Of seal
skin, covering the form from throat to
feet, where it displays founce of
beautiful Russian sable lined with err
mine.
A well-made black silk gown Of
good quality is still essential to a we'll
plenished wardrobe. 1t should always
have second bodice Of dinner or even
ing cut.
The newest nightgown is dainty
Greek affair, exquisitely simple.
A pretty bit of neckwear for plain
gown is yoke of mousseline de-soie
which has slightly more body than
chiflon-trimmed with honiton braid
run on at each skeining. Both the
edge and the fchu are finished with
oval hobiton.
Many ladies get the cre dit Of being
much more beautifully formed than
they real y are, because they wear a

nation underwear.
There is little diminut;on in the
size of the long fashionable umbrella

local passenger train and a double
header freight train on the Knoxville
and Ohio branch Of the Southern
railway, near Newcomb. between Jel-
lico and Knoxville. this morning about
II o'clock.
Engineer Maxey, of the passenger
train, one of the oldest men on the
road, was killed, as was his fireman.
The engineer of the freight train,
whose name has not yet been learned,
was also killed, and his fireman was
fatally injured.
The passenger train had the right
of way and the freight train was run
ming in d~isobedience Of orders Railroad
officers refuse to give any informa-
ton yet about the wreck, saying that
they do not know h extent OF the
losses. It is reported that two pas
sengers were killed and a number Sc
riously burned.
An oil car was next to the engine OF
the freight train and its tank explod-
ed, almost destroying both trains.

San Francisco, January 9.-Father
Diaz, leader of the ten Spanish priests
from Manila who reached this city on
their way to Panama, says: The Phi

would not now oppose the United
States were it not for the leaders who
are squirting them. These leaders are
in the work solely for personal gain
and would prove hard masters for the
weaker portion of the natives should
they gain h power. At Iloilo where
/ was stationed there would have been
little fighting If 1t had not e for
these maleontents who fairly forced
the natives to take up arms. Most of
these men who are at the head Of the
insurgent movement are half breeds.
AS to Aguinaldo, he is a crafty fellow
and has as a following those people
who hope to- climb by his advance
ment. 1 do not consider Aguinaldo
personally responsible for all the bru-
tality shown u friars, yet he could
have prevented a portion of it a he
seen fit to do SO.
