A sona of the New South.

a song of the South in new glory-front-
ing a day that is bright;
The shadows fall back from her fore
head she stands in the light in tn,
light
She heard, in the tempests wild warn.
ing, the prophets that prated OF
doom,
But Jared, with her face to the morning
to starred heights of beauty and
bloom.
To beautiful valleys enchanted. she passed
from the thrall of the night;
By the dust of her graves, all undaunted
she lifted her brows to the light;
On seas of the thundercloud riven, and
tossed of the wind and the foam,
She saw, where the black wrecks were
driven. the glimmering shore line
of home.
She stands with her Faith for her helmet
in the strength of high purpose and
trust;
Dead hopes to the dead past forever, and
the red sword of Hate to the rust.
Strong -sinewed, answering, and loyal
she fearlessly faces the years:
In the white path of Peace and Progress.
Ger landway and seaway she fares.
From her fields in the Towering valleys,
all strifes and all discords retreat;
The summers sing to her; the harvests
reel golden and rich at her feet
White-risen from the wrath and the ruin
an anthem exultingly swells;
The dream is the deed as she listens to
the chime of the liberty bells.
Onward to highest endeavor, crowned of
the sisterly states:
Onward and faitering never-the world
at her welcoming gateSl
Onward. in grace and in glory-veiling
the past and its sears;
Onward till splendid her story is writ In
the roll of the stars.

THE BALD-HEADED MAN.
Furnishes Splendid Opportunity for
the RISING Literateur.

the Rising Literateur.
Why is it that some up-to-date au-
Thor does not see the possibilities in
writing a readable story of romance
or love and have for its hero bald
headed man? Lack Of hair in the
place where it really ought to grow
does not necessarily imply old age or
dotage
The bald-headed man has fully as
much romance and sentiment in his
makeup as men VINO have curling
hair or other kinds in liberal quantity
The bald-headed man can love as
strongly, do as great deeds of valor
or be as chivalrous as he of the
abundant hirsute adornment. Some
times on the stage or in story we
have had a hero or lover whose hair
was tinged with gray, but the bald
hero has seemingly been passed by
There is certainly no reason for this
and it Is time the baldheads of suita
BILE age get together and demand
their being exploited only through
the medium of the so-called funny
man.
Leaving the realm of sentiment and
getting TO the business point of view
To- the author who does this thing
right and gets up a good, wholesome
story of the kind above referred to
success is assured. Every bald-head
ed man in the country would feel in
honor bound to push it along" and
the edition would run into the mil
hons. Let the baldheads get to
gether and lift the bald-headed man
out of the comic weekly slough OF
despond and give him his propar
place in literature.

HAD A PRACTICAL PROOF.
Natives Convinced That Spaniards
Could Be Killed.

Natives Convinced That Spaniards
Could Be Killed.
Early in the sixteenth century the
natives of Porto Rico plotted to kill
the Spaniards on the island. There
was much doubt, however, as to
whether or not it was possible to kill
Spaniard. Many of the natives in
sisted that it was not. Finally it was
decided to make an experiment. A
young Spaniard who was passing
through the Indian village was hos
pitably received and fed and then a
number of natives accompanied him
on his journey. When he arrived at
q river his companions offered to
carry him across. The young man
accepted and was taken up by two
men and carried into the water on
their shoulders. Arriving near the
middle of the river they threw him
In and held him down until he ceased
to struggle. Then they carried him
ashore with profuse apologies, loudly
proclaiming that they stumbled by
accident and calling upon him to
arise and continue his journey. But
the young man did not move and
finally the natives were convinced
that he was actually dead. Having
secured the proof they wanted the
leaders of the rebellion at once be-
gan a general attack upon the Span.

Berlin, April 3o.-A train-load of
Emperor Williams horses and equip
page has left here for Rome, so that
the emperor. when calling on the
pope, need not use a carriage of King
Victor Emmanuel, whose liveries have
not been seen inside the papel pre-
cinets. As the emperor had to send
one royal vehicle, he concluded to
send two. with eight coach horses.
three saddle horses and 20 coachmer,
grooms and hostlers
The story that the empress is not
going TO Rome with his majesty. be-
cause she is not willing to call on the
pope on account of her strong Pro
testant belief, is considered to be of
sufficient Importance officially as to
require an authoritative denial, which
cites the fact that the empress called
on the pope during her former visit to
Rome. and that her fractured arm is
really the cause of her staying at
home.

Quincy. H., April 30-President
Roosevelt stopped here for about for
ty-five minutes this morning. \ large
crowd was on hand to greet him. and
amid cheers he was driven to Court
house park,where he delivered short
address. He discussed the question of
currency. and said is substance:
"Our currency laws have been re-
Gently improved by specific declara-
tions intended to secure permanencv
of values. But this does not imply
that these laws may not be still fur
Their improved and strengthened. IL
is we'll nigh universally admitted
that our currency system is wanting
in elasticity; that is. the volume does
not respond to the varying needs of
the country as n whole. nor to the
varying needs of different localities.
Our people scarcely need to be re
minded that grain raising commune
ties require a larger volume of cur
rency at harvest time than during the
summer months. The same principle
applies to every industry. to every
community. Our currency laws need
such modification as will insure the
parity of every dollar coined or is
sued by the government, and such ex-
pansion and contraction of our cur
rency as will promptly and automat-
ieally respond to the varying demands
of commerce. Permanent increases
would be dangerous: permanent con
traction ruinous. but the needed elias
ITCHY must be brought about by pro-
visions which will permit both con
traction and extraction as the vary
ing needs of the several communities
and business interests may require"
