ORIGIN OF"DIXIE'S LAND"

The original song, "Dixie's Land,'
was composed in 1859 by Daniel En-.
NETT as "walk around" for Bryant's
ministries. Mr.. Emmett frequently
heard the performers in a circus
make the remark, II wish / was
in Dixie" as soon as the Northern c!l-
mate began to be too severe for the
tent life which they followed. This
expression suggested the song, "Dixie's
Land" 1t made hit at once In New
York, and was speedily carried to all
parts of the Union by numerous bands
of wandering minstrels. In the fall OF
1860 Mrs. John Wood sang it in Now
Orleans in the burlesque of "Pccahon-
tas," and before week had passed the
whole city had taken i, up. A New
Orleans publisher saw possibilities in
the music, and without the authority
OF the composer had the air harmon
lied and rearranged, issuing 1t words
embodying the strong Southern
feeling then existing in New Orleans.

Is Money Making Success?

Greensboro Telegram.
This Is question which, II put to
the average youth, would probably
receive an affirmative answer. On the
other hand, If put to the average man
OF wealth, the man who has struggled
from position Of poverty, the answer
would be doubtless "No." The latter
may have succeeded in accumul ating
great riches, but in the sunset of life
he realizes that he lE failure, 80 far as
having attained the supreme object OF
an earthly existence is concerned. He
is success as fnancier and manager
of bis particular line, just as hod-car-
rier is success at his trade, but in all
other respects he may be only dwarf,
manikin. He is brought face to face
with the fact that he is narrow, rutty
man, mere cog in the wheel of busi-
ness, without deep convictions, and in
capable OF exercising the functions of
q liberal hearted, generous minded
man. When he dies another machine
will take his place, and the world will
forget that he has lived.
OF course it is not impossible for a
man who has accumulated wealth to
be a success in tha real meaning of
the term, for wealth need not be an
lmpediment to success. It is when a
man se.s his heart on dollars to the ex-
clusion ard neglect Of all elso that he
is failure. It is this mania tor
wealth and disregard OF the higher
purposes of life that crlpples intellect
and is manhood.
1t is all right for the young man
starting out in life to set his heart en-
the accumulation of money, il he does
so with an honest determination ana
eyer REMINDERS the true purpose and
meaning OF life. Such man will
never develop into wealth specialist
and lose the faculty OF enjoying higher
and nobler things. Let the young m IN
get wealth il lie can, but let him re-
member that wealth is not all, nor the
greater part OF life.

a bad swap to exchange good man
for an incompetent negro.

bad swap to exchange q good man
for an incompetent negro.
So If the little tin gods over the
State do not want the negro discussed
and their supporters cussed, they
should have sense enough to see their
way out of 1t.
In conclusion, I would say, that I
do not mean to be understood as advo-
vocating this issue as par amount.
Not at all. Because the National
Democratic party has spoken in con-
vention assembled and imrarialism and
trusts are the leading issues In the
contest and of course in
the congressional, but the Republicans
have dragged the negro into the cam
paign, when we would not have it SO :;
and while he is not a paramount issue
still his presence, officially, makes him
an Issue. w. r. JOHNSON.

BE BEAUTIFUL.

Thackery says the world Is looking
glass that reflects our looks, whether
they are sweet or sour. It rests with
our young readers, as we'll as with
those of mature growth, whether this
truth-telling mirror shows them plain
or beautiful faces. Happiness makes
beauty. Even the girl who thinks she
is plain, If she will, can go change her
expression that the world-mirror would
reflect beautiful face.
One morning, during last spring, q
girl, whose face was under cloud of
unhappiness from constantly laboring
under the impression that she was
plain. walked out into the sunshine of
the park. In a moment the gloom
lifted, for the brightness of the MORN
ing had made her dull thoughts un-
usually pleasant. "What pretty,
happy girl that is we just passed." she
heard one of two ladies say to the
other. "Why, they mean me !" she
explained in pleased surprise. "No
one ever called me pretty before it
must be because am smiling" Again
as she entered a street car, she heard !:
"Do you see that pretty-looking girl7"
"Well, I declare" she mused, II am al
ways going to look happy, if this is
what comes of It'll I have always
thought myself homely, and here
twice In one day I've been called
pretty"
From that day she did try to look
happy, and now she is regularly con-
sidered as one of the leading beauties
OF her social circle.-Selected.

All For Two Cents.

Youths Companion.
It may not be out of place to give
an illustration of the vast distance a
letter may travel on the strength OF q
two-csnt postage stamp. Suppose one
OF the girl readers of The Companion
in Key West, Fla, has brother in the
Klondike region, who has risked all to
dig fortunes from mother earth, and
writes to tell him the news from home.
She drops the letter in the postoff1ce
at Key West, and 1t starts on its long
journey. It does not, of necessity,
trayel in a straight line, but must fol-
low the twlstings and turnings of the
railroads, which have complete charge
of it until the northwest corner OF the
State of Washington is reached. When
it arrives at Seattle il has passed
through fourteen states, and yet, go
far as time is concerned, but one fourth
of its journey has been accomplish
ed.
It now takes sea voyage from Sc
attic to Juneau, Alaska, and from the
latter place is carried, as I have al
ready described, to Circle City. It may
be taken from there by friendly hands
farther into the Klondike country,
and finally delivered into the hands of
the anxious brother, who has been
eagerly awaiting the arrival of the
next party from the nearest town in
which postoffice is conducted, in the
hope that some one would bring him
a letter. The letter has now travelled
in theneighborhood of 1000 miles, by
railroad, steamboat, stage, horseback
and, perhaps, dog sled, and has been on
the read for nearly forty days without
a moments rest.
No profit In money accrues to the
government for delivering that letter,
indeed, each letter sent into the Klon-
dixie costs the government for trans
portation many times the amount Of
postage charged.
