 Aberdeen, Miss, is the most lovely and attractive town I have seen in any state,' said Sam Cowan. "It lies in sandy, roll ing section of country. is beautifully built and is progressive.

Columbus is also a delightful town, one that would be in many respects creditable to any state of the Union."

Amongst the distinguished visitors to Atlanta during the blue and gray reunion was Col. Cornelius Cadle of Cincinnai, a member of the Shiloh Battlefield Commits sion, and formerly a resident of Brming- ham, where every good man is his admirer. Colonel Cadle seems to have had a good time, notwithstanding the fact that one of the Atlanta local newspapers printed what purported to be his portrait, which bears no more resemblance to him than a pear bears to an orange, or a black man does to white. Colonel Cadles portrait is wholly unlike him: it is laughably absurd

All Against One.

The western nations acted together in some, at least, of the long procession of crusades which had as their object the recovery from Moslem hands of the Holy against Xerxes; and at times many allies faced Napoleon; but at no time was west ern civilization so thoroughly allied as it is today against one nation. At Tien Tsin Japanese fought alongside Americans, En- elish beside the Russians, whom they hate, and In smaller proportions Germans

THE MEADOW LARK

Lloyd Mifnin in The Independent. Minstrel of melody, How shall 1 chant of thee, Floating in meadows athrill with thy song ? Fluting anear my feet, Plaintive and wildly sweet Oh could thy spirit to mortal belong! Tell me thy secret art, How thou dost touch the heart, Hinting of happiness still unpossessed; Say, doth thy bosom burn Vainly, as mine, and yearn Sadly for something that leaves 1t un-
 blessed?
 Doth not that tender tone, Over the clover blown, Flow from a sorrow-a longing in vain? Or, is it joy intense, So like a pang, the sense Hears in thy sweetest song something of
 pain?
 Others may cleave the steeps, Soar, and in upper deeps Sing in the heavens blue arches profound; But, thou most lovely Thing, Teach me to keep my wing Close to the breast of our Mother, the
 ground!
 Soon shall my feeting lay Fade from the world away Thine, ever-during, shall thrill through the
 years;
 Love, who once gladdened me, Surely hath saddened thee Half of thy music is made of his tears Long may I list thy note Soft through the summer float Far OCT the fields where the wild grasses
 wave;
 Then when my day is done, Oh at the set of sun, Pour cut thy spirit anear to my grave!

UNCLE sAM's UNIQUE WARDS

C.L Pour in Harpers Weekly.
 Unique among our acquisitions Is hand ful of strange folk that are hidden away in our tiny, isolated colony of Guam. Of verity they are strangers in a strange land" for Guam is not their home nor birthplace, and they are citizens of Uncle Sam through a spasmodic effort of the Spanish Government to promote the well fare of their island possessions. The group to which I have reference are natives of the Caroline islands, which lie afew hun- dred miles south of Guam.

 A hustling free lance' in the life nsur- ance business was over there the other day trying to write $2O.OO0 policy in New York company for rising young man who holds an important position with the Pot ter Comapny. This was his third or fourth call, and he had his intended victim almost worked up to the point of signing the ap- plcation.

 No, time like the present time'' ex- claimed the agent. Delays are particu- larly dangerous in life insurance matters. I tell you what I'll do In your case-lf you'll make the application now I'll carry the policy for you myself for thirty days.'
 "Oh, I wouldn't have you do that the young man protested 'I might die within thirty days, and then where would you and your profits be?''
 "Oh, that's all right my boy! I'll take the risk You won't die that quick. No body in Philadelphia ever died in thirty days"

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY
Couldn't Name All of the Apostles

At dinner party in Washington, com- posed of prominent men, says the Chicago Record, one of them remarked that he once sat in the Union League Club at New York with Roscoe Conking, Chester A. Ar thur and several other distinguished gen. tlemen who had been carefully educated in religious families, and that none of them was able to name the twelve Apostles.

 "Nlcodemus," suggested one of the com pany.
 Jeremiah" suggested the third.
 Judas was one of the Apostles" meekly came from voice in the corner
 "I'll be blamed If he was. He was disciple" came the curt reply.
 Weren't the disciples and the Apostles the same thing?" inquired the meek voice, getting a little bolder.
 Bartholomew was suggested and accepted by several.
 Whats the matter with Peter?" ex- claimed modest young member of the Diplomatic Corps who had hitherto been silent.
 How many does that make?' somebody asked, and they counted up ten for sure, with as many more doubtful.
 Let's look in the Bible." somebody sug- gested, and the Good Book was overhauled in vain Then an encyclopedia was ap- pealed to, but it was not entirely satisfac- tory, for it included Thomas and Andrew in the list, and the Justice of the Supreme Court and two of the Senators were posi- tive that Andrew was not an Apostle.

Albuquerque Has A Few Schools

In the New Mexico items of the Ell

THE question Of opening the schools
of Albuquerque is left undecided for
the present.
Albuquerque has as many schools
and as good schools. as any other town
of twelve thousand population in the
United States,' and they are always
wide open throughout the whole of
every school year, hence the item
above quoted from the Times is some
thing of an enigma to the people of this
