oLD-T1ME SOUTHERN GIRL.
and She Bore Up Nobly Under
AhlictiOn.

OF that southern girl Of long ago I
write in reverence. Her beauty, her
| virtue, her tenderness, her repose, her
loyalty to her own, are heritages of
| every man who knew her in the flesh,
or knows her by tradition. There was
| fine, strong stuff in her. She was nobly
constant. | am not old, writes Fl. S.
Garfield, in Woman's Home Compan-
ion, yet remember ''the fierce south
cheering on her sons" and the women
at home, bearing the most savage of
the brunt, steady, industrious, uncom-
planning, grieved for the bright blood
that was split, yet locking their lips
upon fear and longing, and bidding
father, husband, son or lover to the
fray. l remember coffee made from
bits of sweet potato dried in the sun;
sassafras root dug by negro boys as
a substitute for tea; hundred simple
herbs which took the place of contra
band medicines, and bread made from
Indian corn, sometimes saltless, and
many, many pitiful expedients to fill
the mouths of hungry children. re-
member these things, but do not re-
member that any woman of them ever
repined. Whatever may be said for
or against the men of the south, the
"impolite SEX as fool has termed
them, did not falter. This woman,
who picked lint to be sent to the front,
':ran the plantation" while its owner
was facing Grant, taught the little ne
groes their alphabet, and had prayers
each evening in the big sitting
noon, is the grandmother of the girl
of to-day. I talked to one not long
ago-white-haired, blue-eyed, serene,
with the presence of duchess and the
heart of child, widow since Chan
cellorsville. While we talked the laugh
ing of grandchildren sounded from
the "front yard" and "Aunt Prissy,"
black, bent and as old as her mistress,
brought in some yellow puff ba]1s of
chickens in basket and showed chem
with immense pride. I said: "You
must have found it hard to take up the
work at the close of the war, Mrs.
Blank, and manage the place with al
most every condition changed?'
The old lady said, simply: "Why
shouldn't I? I never put a skirt over
my head with my own hands until
1864. But did it"

again paraded before the public in
making reference to Secretary Couper'S
struggle with the House Of Represpn.
tatives. Of all nonsense to which .he
powers that be are prone. this effect
in Washington" bugbear Is the most
nonsensical 1t is man of straw
trotted out on an occasion. like a scare
crow in a cOrnfield and serves only to
brighten children or lmbecles.
The House of Representatives acted
entirely within its legal right in exclud-
ing Secretary Cooper from the floor Of
the House. If it holds that Mr.. Cooper
cannot be present in the Honse as a
spectatorit will still act within its legal
rights hut such an act would be an
abuse OF power that is not justified by
any detail Of the situation. Mr.. Cooper
is an American citizen and as such
should be allowed the same liberties
In the legislative halls as any other
citizen not a member or officer of the
Legislature. 10
The status of this affair In Washing
ton will be nothing more or less than
an interesting side show. Neither the
President nor any member of the Gov
eminent will lose anv sleep. Sena-
tors and Representatives will read the
story. smile and turn to affairs of i'm.
portant moment to the nation or their
own constituents.
The ousting of Secretary Cooper -
nothing more or less than n deserved
rebuff to the foolish. Childlike official
pompOsity of the Territorial executive.
II makes no difference to this Terri
tory whether President Mckinley likes
II or not The chances are he will per.
sonally side with the action of the
House. though he will hardly say so
since he must perforce not criti"'so
his own appointees unless he is ready
to ask for Their designations. Presi-
dent Mckinley Is no arbitrary King
that the people of this Territory must
seek his personal favor. The ,TndeOen-
dent party that Oustod MCKinlCy's APP
pontee was not elected on n platform
supporting Dole or any other appoiG.ee
OF the President or Governor. Tho
Dole appointment in the first place was
a slap in the face to the people of this
Territory and when he tries to keep mp
his old time arbitrary sway he must
expect to rccc ve forciblc reminders
that this is an American Territory and
he is not the sole ruler.
II the Legislature seeks TO restrict
Mr. Cooper's rights as a citizen. II
will make trouble FOR itself. while II
could use the assumed official capacity
Of Secretary Cooper, as football and
lose no prestige thereby.
