His Dainty Hands, Tropical Counte-

His Dainty Hands, Tropical Counte-
nance ind Good Digestion.
Foes arms and hands were slender
and tapered very gracefully and gently
down to the ends of his fingers, which
we're very tender, gentlemanly and
ladyllke. In fact, his hands were truly
remarkable for their -os>ate softness
and lily white, feminine delicacy. You
could have judged Of his nobility BY
his hands.
His face was rather oval, tapering in
it's contour rather suddenly to the chin,
which was very classical, and, espe-
cially when he smiled, really hand
some. His countenance was tropical IN
its aspect, precisely the reverse Of bis
heart, which, like the fountains Of Sol
omon, had long been kept sealed up as
something sacred from the vulgar gaze
Of the world, his face whenever he
wrote long at any one time putting on
a sickly, sallow and rather pallid hue
but never to such an extent as to 1ndl-
cate indisposition. His digestion was
always good, which is prina facie evil
dence that he was never student
His dress was always remarkably
neat for one in his circumstances. But
I do not believe that it would have
done for him to have had money. He
was ruined in his youth. His college
life in Virginia was the cause Of all
his after inebriation. That was the
Internal whirlpool into which was driv'
en- the beautiful milk white ship Of his
soul, never to be reclaimed. Is it not
one Of the most remarkable things II
the world that any man Of his abilities
should have been so amenable to the
dictations Of others ?-Poe-Chivers Pa
pcrs in Century.

citv of Three Kings.

Do you know what city has been
given the name Of the City of Three
Kings? 1t is Cologne, in Germany,
and the reason is that it is in Cologne
that the three ''kings," or "magi," or
wise men" who came to Bethlehem
to offer gifts to the infant Jesus are
supposed to be buried.
According to an ancient legend, their
bones were brought from Milan to Co.
logne By the Emperor Frederick Bar
barossa In 1lG2 and presented to the
archbishop of Cologne.
Visitors to the cathedral are shown
the supposed souls Of the magi, stud
ded with diamonds and inscribed with
the wise mems names in rubies.

WATERWAYS. MANY of which is an

waterways, many of which is an
expenditure Of money that does
very little general good. Sena-
tor Latimer is on the right TRACK,
his plan seeks to do good for tne
masses, their is no polltlcal
grating in the scheme, ana we
hope he will keep onas persistent,
". as Senator Morgan was with
the canal project. It has been
Demonstrated by statistics, that
| It costs s3O0,000,000 more to
transport the farm products over
the dirt roads than it does over
railroads, and the average cost
over dirt roads per ton is 25
cents per mile, while the cost
over proper built roads is from
5 to s cents per mile. There
fore a system of good roads
would be a great saving to the
producers; this would encourage
greater effort in production, The
profits would be larger, and the
value of farming lands would be
enhanced.
The Democratic party in its
next National platform can do
no better. or wiser thing than
by inserting a good roads plank
on the Latimer plan, in the
platform. Let the convention
tear out the disastrous silver
fanaticism, and go to the conn-
try with opposition to trusts,
official corruption: and Lati-
mer's good roads scheme. If
that does not prove a winner,
then the majority are not ready
to place in official control the
peoples servants. We know
of no greater good the govern
ment can do for the peoples gen
eral welfare than to take hold OF
the public highways with the
aid Of the State and county.
Such scheme would make the
Philippine question, ship sub.
sides, and the Panama canal
sink into insigniicance, because
every State, county and town
ship would be deeply interested:
and every citizen would feel the
result of the taxation he pays.
It is time, high time, that our
statesmen are doing something
besides building political hobbies
for the politicians sole benefit,
and in our opinion Senator Latl-
mer is Of the same opinion. We
endorse his plan and wish him
success.

GOOD ROADS,

Senator Latimer's plan to
build up the highways by gov
ernment aid is good one, and if
he can succeed in getting a meas
ure through which will put his
ideas into practical operation the
good road problem is solved.
The plan, is for the federal gov
ernment to bear one half the ex-
pense OF road building, the
State Legislature one-fourth, and
the county or township to bear
the other fourth. The general
government makes appropria-
tons for the improving Of rivers
and harbors, and while these
waterways are beneficial and
should have the fostering care
of the government, our country
roads are great highways of in
ternal commerce, and should be
entitled to consideration from
the government, as well as the

Governor Jennings of Florida
has brought himself into fame
by vetoing a resolution which
calls for a constitutional conven-
ton to amend the constitution Of
the United States to have the
election of United States Sena-
tors elected by a direct vote Of
the people. There has been a
popular demand in several States
for United States Senators to be
elected by a direct vote, and
twenty four States have already
adopted the necessary resolution
for the calling of the convention.
Governor Jennings however sees
danger in such measure, and
refused to give his official appro-
val to the resolution adopted by
the general Assembly of Florida,
and very properly takes the po-
sition that should such a conven-
ton be called, there is danger of
going farther, and fixing the
constitution so as to undo the
conditions now existing in a
number of Southern States. In
most Southern States United
States Senators are nominated
by primary, and under this sys-
tern it amounts to a direct vote
of the white people, but should
there be a constitutional conven-
ton, that body may tamper with
our franchise laws and cause US
| a vast amount of trouble. In
other words Governor Jennings
believes in letting we'll enough
alone" and we heartily agree
with him.

A Sons Tribute.

All ready, gallant veterans.
For once more a reunion sweet
Has been prepared-a festival,
That you again may meet and greet
Your comrades DEAR whom long ago
Reluctantly you bade adieu:
And, homeward turning face and heart.
Proceeded loved ones to pursue.
And even as in siXty-one-
When love for home and care for
right
Made you desert the thing you loved
And plunge out into darkest night
May patriotism the sentiment
Of each and every heart now sway.
And may you be constrained to go
To meet your war-mates on that day.
For be it known to one anG all
That this chance may not come again:
Perhaps if hence you reunite,
Some links, now strong: you'll seek
in vain.
1t is not hard to say farewell
To home and ali you love so dear,
When but feeting day to spend
Is all. and your return so near.
IT'S not so hard as, years ago,
When first from home you turned
away
And went your country to defend,
Pledging your honor to obey.
For then before your eyes was spread
The deepest gloom-a fear so great.
The dark and angry rising clouds
Seemed then almost to seal your fate.
But greater tar than for yourself
Was your concernment for your land:
For home and those whom you had left
Who may seek mercy at the hand
OF enemies, while far away
You for their country bravely fought
And gladly offered up your life,
That this cause might not come tc
naught.
All. changed indeed is this state now:
In peace you so, in peace you come.
Knowing shat none will ever dare
Mar the endearments of your home.

An interesting story is attached to a
ring which the Kaiser always wears On
the little finger OF his left hand, as a
talisman against all personal danger
1t is said that a toad one day hoped

John Of Brandcnburg and deposited
stone on her bed. The creature disap-

In the schools Of Japan they have
adopted another detail of Western civ
ilization by placing seats for the chill
dren, and this innovation may yet do
away with a fascinating pose Of the
Geisha girl. The little people" of the
Orient, whose cleverness and aesthetic
charms Occidentals have come to ad-
mire, are said to be very sensitive con-
cerning their diminutive statue, but
not all the physical prowess which the
japanese have won as athletes seems
to vary their height one jot. Their
shortness is most pronounced from the
knee down, and this, they have decided
must be the result of sitting on the
floor with the legs folded. For genera
tons they have done this; hence the
lack of growth is hereditary. But be-
ginning with the children is the best
of change. Another genera
lion may produce o sta'wart race of
Japanese.
