The Soda Fountain Clerk.

From the Baltimore American.
Consider now the meek and humble
soda fountain clerk,
Who draweth off the moistened air with
nimble turn and jerk.
His garb is always spotless white when
first he puts it on,
But, 10, before an hour hath passed its
spotlessness hath gone.
For then he hath vanilla on the bosom
of his vest, and streaks of red raspberry
make his trousers seem a jest,
While chocolate and ginger give a
tiger-like effect to the balance of the
garments in which he is proudly decked.
His hair is limp and languid, and il,
parted square and true
Above the very centre of his nose
which also turneth blue,
Because he hath to lnger in the acid
and the ice, to fix up funny mixtures for
the one that hath the price.
He maketh strange concoctions in the
line of fancy drinks, and all the while
he watcheth for persuasive sorts of
winks.
From early morn he twisteth at the
soda water spout, and turneth the ice
crusher till the ice hath given out.
He diggeth in the ice cream and he
rusheth with the glass, while his deadly
hated rival buys the soda for the lass.
Yea, verify, the soda clerk he hath
sorry time. for he must know the way
TO get nine cents out of each dime,
AND he must be hustler. that there

Jerker grinned at the one who payeth

How often, oh, how often doth a calm

But, all. alas, my son., sometimes he

The Resignation of q. s. Senators
Brown and Strange in 1910.

To the Editor: l think Mr. Merritt is
mistaken in your issue of 9Th instant in
his account of the immediate cause of
the resignation of Senators Brown and
Strange. The Wings having a majority
in the Senate, passed resolutions con-
demning President Jackson for the re-
moval of the United States deposits
from the Bank of the United States and
depcsiting them in the State banks. The
Democrats controlling the next Senate
passed resolutions repeating and Eek
puLging" those of the former session and
executed them as prescribed. THESE are
known in history as the "Expunging Res
olutions.' The Wings endeavored 70 re-
peal the expunging resolutions even after
General Jackson's term had expired They

SOUTHERN WOMEN AT NEWPORT.


The Sunday World of recent date pub
fishes the following clipping of three we'll
known and charming Southern women,
Mrs. Pembroke Jones, Mrs. Joseph
Thompson and Mrs. Andrew Simonds
The prominent position that Mrs. Penn
broke Jones has taken at Newport has
directed attention to her Southern birth
and ancestry and to the fact that she is
one of the few Southern women who in
this generation have become leaders of
New York and Newport society. 1t is
peculiarly appropriate that Mrs. Jones,
who is a typical charming Southern wo-
man, should come to the front at New
port, for before the war Newport was
largely frequented by the older Southern
families in summer. They were accus-
toned to journey there very often from
Charles ton, Savannah and even New Or
leans on their own ships and briggs. which
they and their ancestors employed in
trade with Europe and particularly with
Madeira and the Cape Verde Islands.
The late Ward McAllister, himself a ma
tive of Savannah, spent his boyhood sum-
merS at Newport, and one of the best
chapters in his book, Society as | Have
Found It." describes the life of the old
Southerners at Newport in the '40s ana
sos.
Older New York society men and wo-
men will recall the fact that those two
gracious women, Mrs. John Jacob Aston.
the mother of William Waldorf Astor,
now long dead, and Mrs. William Scherm-
erhorn, who is still living and is still a
summer visitor at Newport, were both
Southern women and both from Charles
ton, and were respectively Miss Gibbes
and Miss Cottenet. Since their gracious
and kindly reign ceased, for Mrs
Schermerhorn takes little or no part in
social life nowadays, and until the advent
OF Mrs Pembroke Jones, Newport did not
have Southern woman among it's leaders
Mrs. Jones was Miss Sadie Greene. of
Fayetteville, ~ c., daughter Of Col.
Greene, and with Mrs. Andrew Simonds,
CT Charleston 5. c., formerly Miss
Breaux, of New Orleans, and Mrs. Joseph
Thompson, of Atlanta, formerly Miss EN-
ma Minis, formed trio of pretty women
who were known all over the South some
years ago as 'The Three Graces."

President Roosevelt upon matters

was for every man identified will
