PSYCHE AND TEEDERFOoT.

(FRoB DEEvER POST.
With admiring eyes the tourist
Gazed upon the albright figure
And the coffae-colored features
OF the buxom Indian maiden
Known as Psyche BulI-That-Bellows
AS she strolled along the river,
By the merry dancing. waters
OF the storied Uncompahgre
Nesr the viiiage of her people
He was from the cultured precincts
OF the ancfent-town of Boston.
Born almost within the shadow
Of the monument that rises
From the crest of Bunker Kopje,
And when he observed her closely.
As the vanguard of her features
Showed no saddle marks denoting
That 1t ever had been straddled
By pair of rimless glasses,
Notice that her jaws were passive,
Not assaulting gum of Pepsin,
All his heart went out toward her,
For the change was 80 refreshing
From the cultured maids he'd ogIed
In the town where he had happened.
Little dreamed the tenderfooter
That the Wild appearing beauty
Clad In skirt of army blanket
And in bright red flannel hmblings
And in shirtwaist made of flour sack
Was graduate of Carlisle,
Where they make refined young ladies
Out of wild untortored Injuns,
And for personal amusement
He concluded he would give her
What the classics called sjolly."
Stepping forth he raised his deer,
Smiled until the bright gold filing
OF his teeth flashed in the sunlight
And address ed her thus;
so, peerless
Wild 'sunflower of the forest,
Fair untutored child of nature,
Siickest jaybird in the jungle.
With voice as ripping streamlet
And laugh of ragtime music,
Somewhat softer than the bellows
OF the bullfrog in the Bayou,
Never have mine eyes encompsssed
Such q sweet, unstudied picture,
Such a stunning tout ensemble,
Done in skunk oil and vermilion,
From the studio of nature,
All my soul is filled with rapture,
And the heart within my bosom
At its prison bars is beating,
Strong restraining bars of spareribs,
Like a captive bird
Then paused he.
For sidelong glance fired at him
Called him down, and thus she answered:
"Aw, come off, you buggy snoozer.
With your photographic prattlel
Pull your freight and do cakewalk,
For you make me very weary
With your vocal demonstrations
Executed in q m amer
That arouses my suspicious
That you've rats up in your garnet!
Right about and hit the landscape
With your Number Seven Trilbys
Till the echoes of your footsteps
Are immersed in yonder distance,
Or I'll hoIler for my paw-paw,
Call old Colonel Buli-that-Beiiows,
And he'll use you for duster
For patch of terra firma!'
All knocked out he quick obeyed her,
And when he had been quite swallowed
By the dim and distant yonder,
Gave she him the merry ha-ha,
And unto herself she murmured:
"Ssy that tailored freak of nature
Must have thought this bunch of grille
Was product of Missouri!''

 CTS in Alabama, in which ne goes ot record In support of suitable ceieDra- ton by the public schools, of the birth
 day of George Washington. He also fa-
 vors the celebration or Arbor Day and of the raising of American hags over
 school houses.
 In this circular letter Mir Abercrombie
 says that it has como to be considered
 necessity that attention should be given
 to the teaching of aesthetics. morality
 and patriotism in the schools, and re-
 quests the observance by the schools Of the birthday of Washington. lie sus- gests the raising of. flags over the build

SPENCER IS PROMOTED
FINLEY ALSO GOES UP IN POSI-
 TON ON THE SOUTHERN.
ThsrssWil Be No Other Changes in System, Says Old Railroad
 ofacial-other News and : Gossip.

The most Interesting topic In railroad circles just now is the Spencer Finley story from Washington, and speaking of 1t The New Orleans States says:
 Samuel Spencer, president of the South ern Railroad, has wired that the story published in several Southern papers to the effect that he was to>-Je made chair man of the board of control of the Morgan syndicate of railroads was with out foundation.
 ''T'he rumor is plausible as far as pro- noting Mir. Spencer to the chairmanship and MT. Finley to the presidency goes, but l can hardly think that there will be q change in the office now held by MT. Cannon, third vice-president and general manager" said an old railroad official today.
 '.Corporations are more highly organ ized now than they were a few years ago. This is especially true of rail- roads. It has come to be the fashion to have a chairman as the head of the company. He is what the president business man and must bel in close touch with the owners of the property.
 MT. Spencer is recognized as one of the ablest men in the railroad business. For many years he has been intimately associated with J. Pierpont Morgan. who finances and controls the Southern rail- way system. 1t was MT. Morgan who made him president of the company and he is one of Morgan's most trusted ad- visers on all railroad questions.
 Mir. Finley, who Is spoken of for the presidency. is like MT. Spencer, very able railroad and business man in gen. eral. He has a highly responsible posi- tion already. MT. Spencer as president is to the Southern what the chairman Is with those lines that have such office

a necessity that special attention should be given to the teaching of aesthetics, morality and patriotism. by the observ- ance of the anniversaries of the birth days of great and good men and women.
 Such occasions should be the means of bringing together patrons, neighbors and friends. that everybody may be made to participate in the exercises, and to partake of the interest, enthusiasm and fraternal feeling which always come from the mingllng of people at such meetings,
 At this time when so much is being spoken and written about the origin and growth of American institutions and the men who have performed a conspic- uous part In establishing and maintain ing our government l have thought 1t to be altogether appropriate for the public schools of the State to observe, with be- the birth of George Washington. the great. central. guiding force of the rev olutionary period. We cannot too often direct tke attention of our children to the life and character of such a man. His memory should be treasured and the anniversary of his birth should be cee- b:ated as long as there is voice left among men to shout the praises of free dom.
 q, therefore. earnestly request that you will set apart the twenty-second day Of February annually, as time for celebration, and that you will cooperate with me in an endeavor to have the pu- pills of every public school in Alabama to render a suitable program. Inasmuch as this date will this year fall on Saturday, a school holiday. I suggest that Friday, the Fist, be observed instead.
 Permit me to remind you again of the joint resolution introduced by the able and patriotic member from Madison County, Hon. John H. Wallace. and adopted by the General Assembly, rec ommending that teachers in the public afc funds for the purchase of United States flags, that the same may wave over ev- cry public school building in Alabama. Let me suggest that a flag-raising woul,l he d suitable part of the program for this occasion.

 The grand jury of Montgomery County of 1882 returned an indictment against Shackelford charging him with the mur- der of another negro. Shackelford skip ped out and nothing was known of his whereabouts until few weeks 1go when Deputy Sheriff Sam Belser learned that he was living in Pensacola. He commu- nicated with the sheriff there and Shack elford was arrested. Acquisition papers were forwarded and in the meantime Shackelford's attorneys sued out A writ of habeas corpus which was granted. He was subsequently, re-arrested on a charge of being a fugitive from justice. The requisition papers were honored and the negro was brought here yesterday.
 Shackelford has been living in Pensa- cola all the time since his flight from Montgomery. He had amassed a com fortable fortune of several thousand dol lars. He owned bath houses along the hay

No More "weepers" in His Court.

According to decision rendered by Judge Wiest of Michigan, if jury be in- fiuenced by the sight of beauty in dis tress it's finding may be set aside and a new trial ordered. This revolutionary pronouncement came in connection with the case of Mrs Bennett, who sued John Clear for the value of services claimed to have been rendered as housekeeper. A sympathetic jury awarded her $SOo, whereupon the defendant sought new trial alleging that the fair plaintiff 8 tears. shed most becomingly while the case was on trial. had influenced the jury on her behalf The court held the contention to be valid, setting forth that Mrs. Bennettt Is q good looking woman and that her signals of distress were sure to excite the interest of the jury as, well as of outsiders. As there was nothing for her to weep about, it is a justihable inference that she was appealing for sympathy, and the opinion of the court Is that she got 1t.
