Happy4Go-Eucky Ways.
William q. w. Yerby OF Greens.
boro. Ala, the president Of the Ala
bama PressAssociation, which is now
seeing the sights Of New York, prin-
cipally admires In, New York and the
east the way people value time, max
Ing every moment count. Il don't
think 1t necessary to run up and down
stairs, to leap OF and IN cars at full
speed, and the like, as you do here In
New York City" he said yesterday at
the Hotel Empire, but still / wish
that we could i~noculate in Southern
ers the germ of punctuality and appre-
citation OF time. AS an illustration Of
how some OF our roads are run, for
instance, let me tell you Of an expert
ence a Northern friend Of mine had
in the South. He boarded a street
car, and as a section Of the road lay
through a sparsely settled district,
and as he was the only passenger, the
motorman turned his power partially
of, came into the car, and talked with
him. The conductor Joined them.
while the car jolted slowly along just
as it felt like 1t. OF course this was
very hospitable Of the motorman and
conductor, showing one trait Of South
pern character not to he deplored. but
It is hardly the way to conduct an
up-to-date road or make connections
on time. The South needs more hus,
tie and less wasting Of precious mo-
ments If it is to make commercial and
industrial advance equal to its natural
tesources."-New York Tribune.

Paper shirt Fronts in. Use.

Paper Shirt r0nts In Use. NJ
A paper shirt front is one of the lat
est articles or apparel worn by walters
who are expected to appear in full
dress while on duty. The observer
was o visitor recently at. one of the
popular suburban resorts, where the
walters all displayed a. wealth Of Inn
maculate- white bosom, on each of
which were couple of neat studs. It
looked as though they had received a
supply Of fresh linen from: the laundry,
until one OF them carelessly allowed
his low vest to become unbuttoned,
and the secret was out. with the shirt
front, the latter OF which was drawn
up Id such q way as to expose a cheap
and dirty negligee shirt, that was not
at all in keeping with the conditions
otherwise presented. Paper collars
have been worn for several years. Pa
per shirt. fronts are of more recent
origin. They are, presumably, much
cheaper than linen. considering the
cost of doing up a starched shirt. and
the fact that a clean shirt would have
to be donned almost daily.-Brooklyn
Times.

There was an uneasy grin on Mer-

altogether trust those around him.

Liquor Law in Chile.

(Newe Orleans Times Democracy
Liquor sellers in Chile conduct their
business under many disadvantages. Re-
Gently new law has been enacted and
is now In force which will doubtless at
tract much attention among those In
teresteds in the question. as it affects this
country The novel feature of the law is
its manner of disposition Of licenses.
Each license for the sale of liquor is
put up at auction every three years. and
sold to the highest bidder. but local OPP
ton IS amply provided for as each city
and town may decide for itself whether
It shall grant licenses. No liquor: shall be
sold within 200 yards of any church.
school. charitable institution, or barracks,
IN any theatre or place Of public amuse-
ment. in railway stations or on trains, to
minors, or between the hours Of midnight
and A. M. OF course. no provision is
made for Sunday closing, for Sunday in
Chile, as in all Latin countries. is a hollis
day. The law further provides that no
public official shall own or be directly
or indirectly. interested in license. BY
the way ofa# guarding against impure
liquors, every distillery and brewery is
placed in charge OF a government chem
list, and the penalties for adulteration
are made very severe. Finally all trials
of offenders against the law must take
place within ten days of the complaint
and maximum of. five days Is allowed
by the judge to consider his decision. In
ether words. an offend ers viii know his;

Old Nick. Reeimenta1 Review.

Old Sfck,s Regime entail Review.
printed by Request)
One day, in grand regimental review,
Old Nick called his officers up,
Their methods and practices all to I'M
prove,
And see who would merit the cup.
There were doughty old captains who
came at his call,
Who had served in Beelzebub's army.
And ho smiled at the trophies they'd
And spoke of their efforts quite calmly.
Old Murder he dubbed for a valiant
knight,
But limited his efforts were homely;
To make people murder themselves, he
said,
was far more artistic and comely:
To Eoad poor wretch, by want, to de-
spair,
ITO worry ones life out by SANDER.
Kills two with one stone" quoth Nick
with a grin;
II like it, I own with much candor.''
But now. my good fellows, I pray you
attend,
Don't go for these little fishes;
We've plenty of scullions, sneak-thieves,
or such.
The fellow who steals crown may be
damned,
But the fellow who can steal a, round
million
Brides lawyers and judges; the juries are
hanged:
And We've can dance a cotillon!
A poor little scamp goes to prison. you
know.
h Ia
But decent, respectable Christian
Catch him. and we are in clover.
A bishop? Then thousands will suffer
the loss;
A banker? Like one in Chicago
tell you one doctor of morals ia worth
OF your mean little scamps a whole
cargo.
Don't aim for the vicious or worldly:
I've a mortgage on all that crowd;
The fellows I want are lordly.
And they pirate of their virtues loud;
Get the sons of honest parents:
The loved Of some fond mothers heart;
When these are the victims you cap
ture.
A thousand you kill with one dart.
-Get. preachers to preach evolution
In churches all frescoed and grand; :
Where money will pass for devotion.
While falsehood crime fills the land.
There is naught like a hypocrite praying,
To give our false notions Of bliss;
All hopes for the next world betraying,
BY acting such falsehood in this.
Get Christians to fight one another
And then they can do us no harm;
Your ranting, smooth-faced parsons
Don't give me the least alarm.
They say they are fighting the Devil;
lis little I care what they say;
Let them fight. while we take a vacation,
They'll get what they fight for some
day.

To tn. Editor of the Dispatch:
VIII you kindly submit the following
question to the attorney-generai and pub
lish his ruling for general Information:
l am native Of Virginia and have lived
Ia the State twelve consecutive years:
Fan comply with every requirement of the
new Constitutions conditions of regis
ira taon. except The 'twelve-n ontfl" clause.
EeipR Il Methodist prea cner. ! was moved
last April, hence have lived in this city
but nve months. ] may be moved again
aexf April. and thereby will have been
ut the next place Of registration but five
months. on registration day, and SO on,
I'd inflniium
Now the question arises: How may
become a member Of my native State.
and where is my present citizenship? Here
where ] have but lived five months. or
sonder, whore ! have lived for years? :.
IT is possible that a strictly literal con-
FtTuction of The "t~cive-month" clause
will disfranchise every Methodist preach
or In the State, since they move on other
than the day after registration. and may
have lived at their new homes less than
twelve months. C.. II. q.
Buena Vista, Va.
The requirement Of twelve months resi-
dence. as a requisite to the right to vote.
has been adopted in several States. for
the purpose Of eliminating an exceedingly
undesirable floating vote
This requirement Will sometimes deprive
members OF an .tinerant ministry, such
as exists in the Methodist church, of a
right to vote one year out OF four; or. if
they reside only two years in one congre-
grafton, one year out of two.
While this Is extremely 10 be regretted,
1t cannot be helped.

One Of your correspondents asks fol-

to old Virginia
More than half century ago this wa:
an old song. I have not the origina,
words. but I send you some lines, then
written and published in one of the Fred
ercksburg papers as New Words to an
Old Tune" @.
The lines are as follows:
In old Virginia was born
And e'er shall bless the fate
Which cast my early lot within
Ny good old mother State
And though elsewhere may be rich
I'd rather rather live there poor.
Then carry me back to Old Virginia;
To old Virginia's shore
I've sat meath many a stranger sky.
Round many a foreign hearth,
But never has my soul forgot,
My native sky and earth.
I'm weary Of my wanderings now,
And wish to roam no more.
Then carry me back to old Virginia,
To old =Virginia's shore.
NY face is homeward turned at length
And ne'er did lover pray
More ardently for ladye love
Than I for no delay
now but ask to tread again
My native land once more,
Then carry me back to old Virginia,
To old Virginia's shore
Methinks hear upon the gale
The voice Of welcome borne.
For hearts will greet my coming now
Which did my parting mourn.
Then speed thee on, my noble craft,
Nor heed the oceans roar.
But carry me back to old Virginia,
To old Virginia's shore
