THE MUSE ATTACKS JOHN HENRY.

An maidens' eyes an feathery sighs an all that

He'll set out on the porch at night an stare up
Ontil you'd think he'd lost the power of movin'
of his eyes;
An now an then'll dodge inside an grab his pen
an write
The things he heerd the angels say in their noe
turnal flight.
He talks about the gentle muse, an Inspirations
fires,
An bout the fiow'rs of poesy an twangin' tune
ful Tyres,
An truant thoughts a-stealin' buds from gar
dens in the skies,
An angels dwellin' on the earth in common man
disguise.

To let him sort O. run awhile 'thout breakin' of

To snatch the idol from his hand an cru'ly smash

DEpLoRABLE sNoBBlsHEEss.

A wise woman, speaking at a re-
cent symposium on child-studying,
deplored the growing snobbishness of
the American child. Its cause is suf-
fciently obvious, and the speaker en-
phasized the way parents unconsci-
ously encourage its development.
The striving on every hand to give an
appearance of more riches than are
possessed has the pernicious influence
of giving the child false standard.
May Riley Smiths clever rhyme on
the little jacket" made at home,
into whose lining the owner sewed
the tag of a stylish maker, travestied
a tendency that exists in many homes
and goes deeper than jacket label.
1t is difficult in these days of pretense
not to share some of it, but the sim
pie and genuine is always worth striv-
ing for.

AN OLD TIME NANNY.

The black mammies of the pictur-
esque regime before the war are so
fast disappearing that loan exhibit
of these dear old types ought to be ar
ranged by those who still claim the
devotion of the few remaining types
IN typical homespun frocks and ban
dannaed heads. There is typical
nanny in Birmingham who figured
recently at the wedding of young
woman to whose mother and grand
mother she had been maid.
The wedding was quiet one, de-
spite mammys entreaties to have
"big weddin'.' -
Hits er shame" said nanny,
ter marry dat chile off'n emmy sich
way Her mudder an ole mistiss,
too, bof had big weddin's, an now
die here ehiiS swine lei Dc put OF wild
a reg'lar po' white folkes weddin'.
Amt er gwine ter have no supper, no
bakin' O. cakes. Ineber seed bride
whut didn't have brides cake.
The old creature begged the young
bride to be to at least arrange for a
wedding supper and offered to bake
all the cakes.
"My ole hands," she said, "neber
will give out so long as I can work for
young mistiss' chillen. Tze gettin'
erlong, but I'ze dun live ter see all
de chillen get mar'ed an now I
wants ter cook one mo- weddin' sup
per 'fo' 1 die"
And, sure enough, she did.
The mistress of the house, going
below stairs the morning preceding
the wedding, noticed the unusual ap-
pearance of the kitchen at so early an
hour. Dear me" she said, IMAM
my, everything looks as if you had
been up all night p
And nanny, in a freshly starched
homespun apron, a white handker-
chief wound about her head, stood in
the doorway. The kitchen was as
shinging as the pans upon the shelves.
The face of the old negress glowed
contentedly. Her withered old hands
told the story of years of hard work.
"Mistiss," she began, II sho' is
been up all night. Pze been er cook
in some weddin' cake fer de baby.
Lawdy, 1 couldn't low dat chile ter
marry, 'dout plenty weddin' cakes.
1 don't keer whether dar's emmy folks
to eat it or not. I dun cook 'em fer
dat chile"
And, leading the way to the pan
try, she showed the. result of her
nights work. There were rows of
cakes, elaborately embossed, at which
she gazed in silent admiration.
Her mistress, looking at the ebony
hued face before her, at its kindly,
broad scanned lines, was in that mood
when smile is dangerously akin to
tears.
