MODERN FABLES
BY eEoR cE ADE-copyrsh 1so2 by Robert Howard Russell

A Man and Wife had three Sons. The first, named Abraham Lincoln Tibbetts, was born in 1862 His name was promptly abbreviated to Link.
 The second, who arrived in 1872, was christened Ulysses Simpson Grant Tib- betts This was too long so people called him Club.
 The third son was of the Vintage of 1882, and his name went into the Regist CT as Chester A. Arthur Tibbetts, but, in the interest of Euphony he was dubbed Art, because Art Is long.
 The Tibbetts Family lived in the City and Link the first-born. enjoyed all the Advantages of Life in an Apartment Building. He went to a Graded School and picked up so much Knowledge that at the age of 12 he could set his Parents down in front of him and tell them Things they did not know. At 14 he was so far along that he knew how to lie in Bed and have his Mother bring his Breakfast to him. He went to Dancing School and learned to play all the "Pinafore" music on the Upright Agony Box. Sometimes he chided MT. and Mrs. Tibbetts for not having as much Money as many of the People he met at Dancing Parties. He had about as much Application as 3 used-up Porous Plaster and he worried more about his Complexion than he did about his Business Prospects.
 MT. Tibbetts gave him Desk at the Office and called him Assistant Some thing. His Duties consisted of looking at the Clock and writing Notes to the Ga zelles he had met the Night before. If he had been set ,out on the Pavement and told to Root for himself, 1t would have broken him of the Habit of Eating.
 Link was whatever they called Lob ster in 1880. MT. Tibbetts realized that City Life had an enervating Effect on Boys and made them Superficial and Wise in their own Conceit.
 Chub was years old and not yet suc- cumbed to the Matinee Habit, so his Par ents decided to ship him out to the Green Fields and keep him there until he had developed a Character. MT. and Mrs Tip betts knew that all the Men of Sterling Worth, mentioned in Political BioRra- phies, had been raised, on the Farm. They figured that If Chub could be left in the Country to run with the Live Stock he would grow up to be Sturdy and self reliant Character. with no hankering for Soda Water and the Military Schottische.
 Therefore Chub was sent out to live with Uncle Jabeg Quackenbush. an Agri- culturallst who owned 4so Acres and was

that combination to cover the whole cotton field, as regards the raw ma terials and the immediate products, would have an annual business "of some $500, 100000" and the combine proposes to gather this handsome piece of business in. The promoters go on to say that the business Is now conducted along separate lines by in- oividuals, and each of these separate lines is very profitable, and they ask investors to consider what would be possible when the individuals are knocked out, and the combine has 1t all.
 This scheme Is still in the pros pectus stage, but it Is very probable outcome of the trust spirit of the age and the Republican party. The at tempt to hand over the Cotton States to the tender mercies of trust is bold one, but let no one think it will not be attempted, for the attempt is actually progressing, and may be con summated.

The Y. M. c. A.

f''The directors of the Young Mems Christian Association are confident of be- ing able to raise the money for the erec- tion of an association building" said a member of the board yesterday.
 While we have made A fine start, under the leadership of MT. Munger, who headed the subscription list with s10000. it may be some months before the necessary amount, say $75,OOO, is in sight But if we keep consistently at the work of soliciting we will have in time one of the largest and handsomest association homes in the south.
 An important feature of the building will be a gymnasium, of course, and an- other will be a dormitory, where worthy but friendless men, with little or no money, may find comfortable lodging. No city in the country needs a '. M. c. A. building of the kind projected so badly, perhaps. as Birmingham.

PApEREWsKI WAS STUBBORN.
Refused to Ride With Feet to Engine
 and Had Car Turned.

Davenport Iowa, March 22.-Paderewslli caused a lot of commotion among the yardmen of the Rock Island road here when. he came from Chicago to Davenport to give a concert, travelling in his private car. Here he insisted that the car be turned around for the return trip as he could not or would not sleep with his head toward the engine. It was soon found that there was no turntable in this vicinity big enough for his scventy-foot car.
 After every sche.ne available In the rail- road yard had been tried, the car was turned on the draw of the government bridge that crosses the Mississippi here. This draw swings both ways and is the biggest turntable In America, but was never used for that purpose before.

TrayeIinu Libraries in the South.

Through the aid and cooperation of MT. Carnegie and the Seaboard Air Line Railway, a system of circulating libraries has been established in the Cotton States. having it's central point It Middleton, Ga., where Mrs. Eugene B. Heard, the organizer of the system, hves.
 The books are sent out in substan- tial hardwood cases, each containing either 50 or 100 volumes. Each rural community selects from a catalogue the books it desires; pays the mod crate fee, receives the books, distrib- ntes them in it's own way, reads them, and at the apointed time returns them 10 Middleton. In this way plenty of good reading Is possible in the isolated communities of the South at rates that the poorest can meet. The aver
 Just at present Mrs. Heard is en- gagged in sending libraries to schools that make the most improvement in the surroundings of other school houses, such as the painting of the building, the ornamentation of the grounds, the planting of trees, shrub bery and the like. This is a develop ment of the travelling library, and a very good development it is, for there is nothing in this world that more needs beautifying than the rural school house.
 Mrs. Heard's system covers Ala Dama, and any community that wants ooks on easy terms should write to her. Any community can have all the looks 1t needs under this plan at the lowest possible rates. Any school can s be well supplied. No one need go bookless while the travelling libray is wl.nin reach.

FEWER SHIRT WAIST MEN.
Noted With Satisfaction That They
Are disappearing.

Though the extremely warm weather.
through which Savannah is struggling
has developed a quantity of heated han
guage and has made men hate them
selves, there is one thing it hasn't
done. and for that there is a decided
disposition to be thankful shown by
that portion of the population that so
cordially detests anything that is ultra
in dress. The shirt waist man has not
been developed.
Now and then shirt waist man has
appeared, but it has almost invariably
been in one of the garments that he
bought last season. The dealers are
not selling new stocks this year In
fact, they do not seem to be dealing
in the garments at all.
"A mistake was made by those who
sought to establish the CUSTOM said a
leading haberdasher yesterday In
stead of clubbing the wearer of a shirt
waist the 'coatless man or something
else that would not have been often
sive, they had to stick on such name
as the shirt waist man.. Now what
man wants to wear one of the things
when he has to submit to so effem-
mate name as that? l should have
been very glad If the custom had held,
and If more men had decided to wear
shirt waists. 1t would have meant an
Increased demand for fine class goods

HAND EMBROIDERY.

The one especial mark of distinction
which the woman with unlimited means
has achieved in her white gown, saws
the Washington Star, is in the embroid-
cry, as for the pretty imitation laces
and materials they are free for all.
Hand embroidery in most exquisitely
dainty designs cover her pretty white
blouses and skirts of linen and batiste,
and it is either the very open English
work or the close overstitch, or posi-
bly, the two combined very effectively.
The machine embroidered linens and
batistes are a close second, however.

cially in the pale ecru tints Beautiful
gowns of this tint vary the kaleido-

and a delicate yellow.
Green, which came in rather late in
the season as one of the contrasts. is
handled very gingerly, partly because
it is conspicuous and partly because of
its unbecoming qualities, but there is
safety in the use of black, which in

THE SOUL OF A CoCKNEY.

To dwell with city sounds and sights,
And long for country quiet
For dewy dawns and fragrant nights,
And bird songs running riot;
To sigh for springs green, tender birth,
Or autumn's regal burning
That is the dearest pain on earth,
That is the sweetest yearning.
But, oh, to stroll by grove and beach,
And hear the birds vociferant,
And know that town is out OF reach
That's someway very different!
