Ing some Few books lately at our
home "The Leopard Sro,s," by TIE
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr, like himself
is full OF life. This book deals with
the race problem in the south as view
ed fro,n the standpoint of a southerner.
It is a romance of the white mans
burden in the south, and the story il
laid after the war S over, presenting
prominent features of reconstruction
tyranny and the crimes which have
led all the way up to the lyncher's
rope and fagot in all the states of the
union. This book could only have
been written by southern man, be-
cause every line in it breathes OF a
deatbless determination to preserve
this as a white mans country. It is
hot in its intensity and will be eagerly
read by those who prefer the intense
and strenuous in literature. The
scenes are laid principally in North
Carolina, but they will fit all other
southern states as well. The author
says: The carpet Dagger was wolf,
scaIawag, hyena, one Is highway
man and the other is thief" and thus
he talks Of many things and many
men who came to the south in the re-
construction period to insult Its c,ti-
zens and rob their pockets. The char
ter where tie southern man, George
Harris, the educated negro who lad
been dorniciled in the household of a
Republican politician, and whose init
macy cau;ec: the negro to aspire to his
daughters hand, Is one OF the mast
thrilling IN a very exciting story.
The negro was shown the door and tl:e
exasperated parent cried out il wrath ::

would move it backward three thous-
and years in history would kill her

Says Mr Dixon "You cannot build
IL democracy a nation inside ma
ton Of two antagonlstlc races. The
future American Will be an Anglo
Saxon Or Mu'atto." Get the book
and read it, Jou can never forge: it.

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 the
nuisance, and at the same time do a
lot of amused chuckling. If he would
only observe the methods of some of
the sovereign American voters who
visit his dominions, he would learn a
trick worth more than all the laws
against lese Tajeste enforced by his
irritable cousin the kaiser. Let him
learn from tnem how to use a press
agent, and it will not be long until the
bare mention of lis name will be
enough to throw a whole press asso-
citation into an ague of terror. Let him
not only furnish the papers with full
advance notices of all his movements,
but also insist that they be published.

typewriter interviews with himself,
full of spontaneous opinions on all
kinds of subjects of which he is igno-
rant, and l will guarantee that in

will wear hunted look, and if he
happens to come on a group of them
unawares, they will go through doors
and windows without the formality Of
opening them. 1t is the fact that he

Rope-Like Folds.

All those who have been in mourning
well know how hard it is to think up
effective trimmings 'out of whole
cloth" One woman has gotten around
it in this wise. The dress is of soft,
rich black goods, the bodice being
tucked save at the front, where vest
of crepe in panel effect, is introduced.
This Is criss-crossed with folds of the
crepe, the crepe weave giving a rope
like appearance. Five of these folds
are down each side of the vest. This
idea might be carried out entire, with
fine results, the panel running down
the front of the skirt and also heading
the founce. Folds of crepe are most
effective trimming, anyway.

The people who help us most are
those who make light of our achieve.

For things never come quite right
in this world. The threads seem to

The inward influences and illumin-

who have loved us are deeper than
any that we can realize; they pene.

PCRCUPINE QUILLS.
They Are Loosely Fastened In and May
he Shaken Out.

They Are Loosely Fastened In and May
he Shaken Out.
The myth that the porcupine can
discharge its quills to distance is
one of very great antiquity, and, like
many myths, it has at it's founda-
tion a grain of truth. The porcu-
pines defensive armature lies in the
ouills scattered over it's body, and,
above all, thickly implanted in its
tail. When threatened by enemies. it
uses the tail as a weapon, thrashing
and jerking it about from side to side,
tc the great danger of any living
creature that may be within reach
of it. Now the quills of a porcupine
are so loosely inserted in the skin that
they become detached very easily
They are sharp-pointed and barbed,
and SO stick into anything that they
may be roughly brought in contact
a porcupine with stick will remem.
Der that in very snort time many
quills were found with their points
buried in the stick. The violent
thrashings and blows given by the tail
OF the porcupine which is defending
itself loosen many of those quilts,
which often are thrown short dis
tances, but never more than few
inches, since the quills are far too
light in weight to carry any distance.
The fact is that quills may be-anj
often are-shaken from the tail of
porcupine and fall near it. Stansead
in the last. sentence or two of his let
ter explains precisely the way in
which these quills are loosened and
then fall to the ground. 1t is inter.
esting to notice that the thrashing OF
the porcupine's tail against wood OF
the ground or leaves is accompanied
by considerable noise, and that the
quills rattle against each other. 1t
has been suggested that this sounds
like a challenge and that it is also
warning.-Forest and Stream.
