Possibly the most general conception
OF the old life at the south held by the
rest of the country is that drawn from
Uncle Toms Cabin" work which,
whatever it's truth in detail-and there
was doubtless much truth-yet by rea-
son of its omissions and its grouping
contained even more untruth as cor
rect picture of civilization, says
Thomas Nelson Page in The Atlantic.
AS an argument against the evils In
herent In slavery 1t was unanswerable;
as a presentation of the life it under
took to mirror it was rather piece of
emotional fiction, infused with the spir-
1t of an able and sincere but only par
TALLY Informed partisan. than correct
reflection. 1t served purpose far be-
yond the dream and possibly even the
intention of its author. 1t did much to
hasten the overthrow of slavery. 1t
did no less to stain the reputation of
the south and obscure what was
worthy and fine in its life. From that
time the people of the south were re-
garded, outside its own border much
rs, shall we say, China is regarded to-
lny-as one of the effete peoples. as an
obstacle in the path of advance and
possibly among many as an object Of
righteous spoil.

Much In the Name.

Once there were some very swGgger
people in an ultra fashionable village
not far from the metropolis who decid-
ed that no society yet punched together
was exclusive enough for them. Even
the Colonial Danes failed to meet the
requirements. So they determined to
start a new aggregation that should be
the real thing.
After considerable thought they con-
cluded that IL they limited membership
to direct descendants of Fernando de
Soto it would be sufficiently exclusive
for their fastidious tastes. A Society
of the Sons and Daughters of De Sofa"
was the outcome. All the best people
in the village proved that they were
eligible and were enrolled as charter
members.
However, there was one man on the
outer fringe whose proof Of descent
was not accepted; in short he was
blackballed. This made him angry,
and lie started to investigate the sub
ject.
One day he published his findings in
the local newspaper. The principal
fact was this: az. de Soto died q bach
elor.''
The Sons and Daughters of De Sofa
are now known as the Elite Eucher
club.

An Englishman, an Irishman and q

looking through a confectioner's win

her conveniently and have bit of chat

"You extravagant dog" said Mr.. Bull.
I'm sure one-half of the money will

LIBERTY.

what man is there bold that he should say,
THUS and thus only would have the seaf'
For whether lying calm and beautiful,
tlhsping the earth in love throwing back
The smile OF heaven from waves Of amethyst,
Or whether, fIeehened by busy Winds
1t bears the trade and navies Of the world
To ends OF use or stern activity,
on whether, lashed by tempests, it gives way
To elemental fury, howls and roars
At all its rocky barriers, in wild lust
OF ruin drinks the blood Of living things
And strews its wrecks o'er Leagues OF desolate
shore,
Always 1t is the sea, and men bow down
Before its vast and varied majesty.
so all in vain will timorous ones essay
10 set the metes and bounds OF liberty,
For freedom is its own eternal law.
1t makes Its own conditions and in storm
Or calm alike fulflls the unerring will
Let us not then despse 1t when it lies
Still as sleeping lion, while swarm
OF gnatlike evils hovers round its head
Nor doubt it when in mad, disjointed times
1t shakes the torch Of terror and its cry
shrills DER the quaking earth and in the fame
OF riot and war we see its awful form
Rise by the scaffold where the crimson ax
Rings down its grooves the knell OF shuddering
kings,
For always In thine eyes, o Liberty,
Shines that high light whereby the world is saved
And, though thou slay us, we will trust in thee,
John Hay.

King Edward and the Reporters.


1t is really too bad that his majesty
of England should be offended at the
attention paid him by the press and
by the fact that all his movements are
watched. A man of his experience
and resource should be able to abate
a lot of amusing chuckling. If he
would only observe the methods of
some of the sovereign American voters
who visit his dominions. he would
learn trick worth more than all the
laws against leZe majesty enforced by
his irritable cousin, the kaiser. Let
him learn from them how to use a
press agent, and 1t will not be long
until the bare mention of his name
will be enough to throw whole press
him not only furnish the papers with
full advance notices of all his move
ments, but also insist that they be pub
lished, and at the same time keep
shedding typewriter interviews with
himself, full of spontaneous opinions
on all kinds of subjects Of which he
is ignorant, and I will guarantee that
In very few weeks even the most
hardened newspaper men in his king
dom will wear hunted look and II
unaware they will go through doors
and windows without the formality of
opening them.-London Letter.

The town of Webster, Mass, has al
ways been proud of the beautiful little
lake within its limits, but never boast
ed of the jawbreaking name ly which
1t is known. The lake has the longest
and most unpronounceable name Of
any In the world, and residents and
visitors who pass the summer on Its
shores and islands are quietly suggest
ing a substitute for the unwieldy In
dian term which for many years has
been applied to this body Of water.
The full name of the lake Is Chargog-

the residents have contracted 1t to

All His Fortune.

One day before his marriage the Rev.
Sydney Smith ran into the room where
his fiancee was, flung into her lap six
small teaspoons which from much
wear had become the ghosts Of their
former selves" and said, "There, Kate,
you lucky girl, give you all my for
tune" He gave her, however, what he
did not mention, his fine character and
great talent and In every way proved
himself an excellent husband.

ORIGIN of Ice Cream Soda.

According to Wisconsin legend, Ice
cream soda had Its origin in Milwau-
kee, the town that made lager beer ia
nous. A confectioner whose trade was
among the wealthy used to make a
good, rich soda water by adding to 1t,
when drawn, pure cream. His trade
rapidly increased, and one night when
he had crowd to serve he ran out Of
cream. In desperation he used small
quantity of Ice cream to give the drink
the proper rich consistency, and what
resulted is history.-Beverages
