Walt Whitman was not much of
His employers called it laziness. He
was concerned with permanences. The
nearer to nature, the more repose.
Trees and hills do not dance except
for urging. Whitman, elemental, strong,
placid bovine, did not urge them.
In the Brooklyn Eagle office Whit
man is a clearer memory than in the
Office of its contemporary. Yet it is
oddly hard to secure facts. There is
general and joking reference to his
serenity as idleness. He was not
typical newspaper man, for he was not
to be pressed or hurried, and in our
day Of precision and speed he would
have been impossible He never felt
that stress from which the veriest bo-
hemian suffers. He did not want mon
ey enough to work hard for it, One of
the coterie of writer's and actors which
used to sQuander it's much wit and lit
tie wealth at Pfaff's tells me that Of
the whole party Whitman was the only
enc who was never tipsy and never
''broke" He always had a market
somewhere for fugitive writings. Edi-
tors were friendly to him. He drank
his beer with the rest, but it's effect
was to make him thoughtful, even sad,
while the others were merry. Accord
ing to that narrator, he was an easy
borrower, though it does not appear
that he asked for large amounts or
made needless delays in his repay
ments.-Charles NJ. Skinner ~ >@'---

not desiring to trip the light fantastic

WHAT promised to be stormy
scene in the veterans camp last
Monday at the courthouse was
soon set to rights and peace and
harmony restored. There has been
a contention for some time over
the action of the camp in deciding
to 60 to New Orleans as an organ
lied military company. This was
done at the meeting in April, after
the action of the camp at it's Jan
uary meeting to 60 as an organized
camp. However, the facts develop,
as gathered from Mr.. McDowclis
remarks, that the veterans were
not entitled to bear arms except by
special act of therecent Legislature,
which provided that they organize
into military companies. 1t is
also understood that special ar
rangements will be made for armed
companies at the commandments
headquarters at the New Orleans
reunion, whereas unarmed camps
or companies would have to seek
private lodging quarters. All this,
it seems, proved to be of little sig
nifcance compared to the fact that
strong sentiment existed in the
camps Directing to the sons of vet
Grams taking active part in these
organizations. This was also
quickly settled when it was, ex'
planned that a recent act of the
Legislature prohibited participa.
ton in the organizations by the
sons. All these matters having beer
finally adjusted it is hoped that the
veterans, all who can, will meet a
the great New Orleans reunion
May 1922, whether they go il
companies or as members of the
camp. Let the veterans who wore
the gray meet and enjoy the ole
comradeship as long as the years
are given them.

AT the meeting of the Confed
crate veterans at the courthouse
last Monday very touching Incl,
dent occurred between two of these
gentlemen, one of the rare coca,
sions which recall us from practi-
cal things and lift us to a realiza-
ton of the better side of life and
it's destiny. The old comrades,
not having seen each other for
some time, the first salutation was,
"How are you, Doctor, God bless
you" The response came with a
warm handshake, 81 am well, Jim,
thank you, my old friend, l am
proud to see you. How are you
and yours!" Again, from the first
speaker, every we'll, indeed, Doc
tor; but not manv more such meet

and the old comrades will soon be
called to stack arms around the
throne of everlasting peace"

out very rapidly, and turning to

that the old Confederates are pass
ing away at the rate of one a day!

whom this conversation took place
are two of our best citizens, who

fellowship of brotherhood. May

AN incident occurred last Mon
day in Union City which demon
strates the significance of the fact
that the warning elements of the
Democratic party are coming back
together upon the grounds OF a
common interest. fractional diff
ferences of whatever character are
being blotted out and the elements
are augmenting for the great bat
tie of 1904. 1t was meeting OF
reconciliation between the heavy
weight champion of Obion county
journalism, Colonel Brlce, editor
of the News Banner, and the great
knight of the sword and leader
of hosts, John H. Mcdowell,
brought about by that grand old
citizen and patriot, uncle Jerry
| Cloar, who has worn the honor of
peacemaker after many hard
fought struggles. Incidental to
the meeting, however, which was
accompanied with pledges OF
friendship between the giants and
co operation of political inter
ests was vein of humor without
which life would be very prose
and commonplace, and that was
the way in which each compli-
mented the other on the quantity
of that enterprising faculty COM
monty designated as ''gall." Of
course that was followed with
healing balm, and the men who
have lived for several years in the
attitude of hostility have at last
met in peace and friendship over
the bloody chasm.
