points of difference between his Emer-

one characteristic of the great man was
in his face and voice and words-and to
this day the haunting earnestness, the
ethical emphasis, the soul-sanity Of
Matthew Arnold abides with me. 1t has.
1 am confident, been intensified by all
of his writings that i have come to
know, but 1t is the first and last attrf-
butte that one perceiyes in this Apostle
OF Reason, in this High-Priest of Gull

In later years when he became as q
Gospel of Freedom to me, as a poetic
revelation of my own Utmost SOUL as
resurrection hope when I had thought all
hope was dead, the early Impressions
were deepened, and Matthew Arnold
meant to me not only intense ethical
purpose, the historical sympathy" and
strong judgment, but also revealed char
acteristics of patience and courage, of
exquisite poetic sensitiveness, of dialec-
tic irony with almost an extreme of ap-
parent self-depreciation, and marvellous
insight into all creeds and their work.

time when 'the sea of faith was at its
full" I have sometimes fancied that
the very pal1or of his ordinary vocabu-
larry was a consequence of f1inging or
the Oriental imagery that lent its after |
glow to the tenets of the Puritanic faith,
a faith that he could not make his. All,

EARLY IMPRESSIONS
OF MATTHEW ARNOLD
By Mrs. Mabel Wing Castle.

/ Ii has always been a joy to me that
Matthew Arnold once stepped out of his
strenuous life into my college days and
bestowed upon me q precious minute for
my very own. 1t came about one after
noon when I, in my long-sleeved chemis-
try apron. was standing at my section in
the laboratory. generating hydrogen. I
was not too deeply absorbed in my ex-
pertinent to see tall, spare man, with
an earnest face, framed in iron-gray
hair. coming through the chemical lee
ture room under the convoy of three Of
the professors.
Here he isr' whispered the girl near
est to me; do get up an explosion
But 1 was an infant in the laboratory;
and, furthermore, not anxious to greet
our guest with flying glass! Even as
my neghbor spoke. L saw the celebrity
turn to my corner and pause to watch
my generator. Meanwhile 1 looked into
his face-a face that recorded many cares
and struggles, but one that was ilumin-
ed by a sympathetic smile as he spoke
a smile that softened the keenness of his
eyes and banished the sadness from his
pathetic lips.
what are you doing, may ask?'' and
his voice, too, was sympathetic and gave
me a feeling of his genu;neness.
With eagerness L explained the expert
nlent. my distinguished listener follow
ing me intently, although, when I had
finished, he disclaimed, with regret In his
voice, all knowledge of chemical reac-
tons. At that instant a professor spoke
to him, and turning from me with
courteous inclination of his head as fare

1t was just moment, and yet in that
little space of time a distinct sense OF
his personality had flashed across my
consciousness. BY intuition L knew that
he was fundament tally serious and broad
" sympathetic. that his keen intellect
had been sharpened and polished not by
science but by the humanities; and that
still. with all his scholarship, he was
genuine, he was intensely human. All
this 1 felt perhaps not in so many dis
tinct Foundations as I have here set
down, but in vivid manner, none the
less.
An hour later, in our dim and crowded
chapel, 1 felt slight reyulsion of my en-
thusiasm. There on the platform, with
little rnannerismS that Jared on me,
stood Matthew Arnold passing judgment
on our well-beloved Emerson. What!

Yet even a college sophomore could see
that Arnold's relentless thoroughness or

come at a real estimate of Emerson. II

The rest you know. His work grew
worse and worse. He was only kept on
the plantation for mere pity, and he was
promoted Irish fashion all the time.
| There was not a hula or a luau or a
fight but he was in It.. He drank with
the worst, and Stunned all us fellows,
whom he had associated with In form er
days. He would even ride past me at a
gallop. when we met on the road, and
evaded me everywhere. Once managed
to catch him q stormy night, when i
called in at a native Iuau for a drink to
warm me up. He was comparatively
sober, but before l could open my mouth
he said: Doctor, know what you are
the trouble, but 1t Is entirely useless, and
it will only injure your reputation to talk
TO a man like mel sinned once-the first
time and l was everlastingly damned

my head against the judgment, so may
as well roast in hell for q sheep as for a
lamb. If there is God. he would give
me justice-you saw what I got And
now, Doctor, you are good man and a
true friend. but do not discuss these
things with me. 1t only makes 1t worse"
Then he turned, tossed off a tumblerful
of okolehao and jumped into the midst
of the hula,
And now he lies dead In Wa:koa gulch,
and he died drunk as fiend I am not

but it doesn't me, though there may be
something in it. You remember that old
college friend of mine, who came over to
see me last fall, Griggs was his name?
Well, he was writing book upon these
Islands, you know, according to the fash
ion of people who have been here six
months and know all about 1t. He want
ed information and characteristics, etc,
and among other odds and ends I told
him Franks story. Griggs had been
here four months then, had vocabulary
OF about ten words, and knew all about
the natives, so of course, this thing
didn't feaze him at all. He sat right up
and gave me one off hand: "My dear
boy, a case of reverson pure and simple.

manager of the Wellsville plant of
the'Amer;can Sheet Steel Co., was in
dicted on the charge of discharging
one Leonard Shaffer, an employee at

went out on strike last summer in
order to join the Amalgamated asso-

he was taken back in the mill, and
was given job of rolling. A few
weeks ago, it is alleged, Manager

DOLLAR WHEAT.
Several Cars Of Maury County Grain

The Prospects for This Years Crop

Star Mills at Ashwood bought two car
Dads at this price Wednesday; one Car
from John j. Stephenson and one car
from Jas. b. CRANBERRY. Several other
sales at this price are said to have

natural quotations at about 80 cents.
Our dollar bushel for wheat is quite
an improvement over harvest prices
when many farmers sold for 80 cents
bushel. There are several causes for
the advance. but chief among them is
the general failure of the corn crop and
the use of wheat for many purposes
where corn has been used in past years
Reports from throughout the county
indicate that this years wheat crop
is at present in a bad condition

Mrs. Annie Mckay Kinnard.

! Mrs. Annie Mckay Kinnard died
Monday night at her home at Gale,
Williamson county, from the effects OF
stroke of paralysis which she received
Friday night. The funeral services
were conducted at her late residence
Wednesday,, and the remains were
brought to her old home at Carter s
Greek, and inferred in Lockridge' s
graveyard.
Deceased was sister Of Mr.. Alex
Mckay of Columbia, and Mr.. Cam
Mckay of Jameson. She was beloved
by everyone who knew her, and her
death will bring sorrow to the hearts
OF many friends in this county.
A strange coincidence connected with
her death was that Mrs. Lou Blessing,
an aged lady living in the same house
with her, was stricken with paralysis
just twenty -four hours before she
was stricken, and both were similarly
affected, the left sides of their bodies
being paralysed.

In the House Tuesday, the pension

favor of the proposition one by Mr..

the other by Mr.. DeArmond, Mis-

OF kilograms from prominent Exon
federates, protesting against the meas
ure, were read, and the suggestion met
with much opposition on the Demo-
cratic side on the ground that it was
utterly impracticable.
During his speech, Mr.. DeArmond
said:
l think the time has already arrived
when in the North and the South there
is common sentiment of pride in the
glory and manhood of the American
soldier Of the war of the sixties and
even If we do not fully realize it, our
