Deylin and Conway, Of Tralee, stand
forward and let us all have a good look
at you; for, though your gatlantry was
vain, that was not your fault, and you
are both heroic Irish ladsl So writes
a contributor to an English magazine.
A fire broke out at night in their ma
tive town. 1t did its work quickly and
cruelty. By and by il was whispered
in the crowd that two children were in
the burning house. That was enough
for Devlin and Conway. Forcing their
way through the front windows, in
spite Of the fame and smoke, they
searched for the poor BARNS, and at
last brought them out. The pity Of II
was that these two plucky fellows
were too late, for the children were 30
badly burned that they died Of their
hurts. But God bless these two Irish
boys for doing what they could TO savo
the children.

Joe CampbeIrs AccomplIce.

Joe Campbell, the negro who was
to have been executed on the 18th
Of February, at Yagoo City, but who
was reprieved by the governor at the
instance Of a committee of citizens
who believe that an accomplice may
be convicted by his testimony, seems
to have impressed the people Of
Yazoo and the officials of the truth
of his confession. Campbell admits
being party to the killing of Bunk
Collins, and admits going to the
house with shotgun for the pur-
pose, but he states also that another
negro went with him, and that the
shot that killed Collins was fred by
the other man. Campbell had a
shotgun and the fatal shot was fired
from a revolver. He has repeatedly
told this tory since his conviction,
and SAYS he would have told it in
court if he had been put on the
stand in his own defense.

But | am easy now, getting better
except on rainy days when the east
wind prevails-the same old east wind
that one of Jobs friends complained
ABOUT when he said; "Should wise
man fill his belly with the east wind?"
l am getting stronger in my under
pins. Not long ago they were swollen
SO badly that away in the dead hours
of the night, while / was nodding in
my chair, got up TO see what time
it was, | lost my perpendicular and my
legs gave way and fell in the fire with
the chair on top Of me. My wife heard
the racket and jumped from her bed.
and pulled me out. did not get
burned, but bruised up my shoulder
where l struck the CRATE. And last
night while was suffering in the alb
deminal regions she got a hot water
bag and placed it where il could do
most good, and went of to sleep and
slept the sleep of the just until break
fast time, when all of sudden the
bag burst and the hot water scalded me
amazingly before ! could wake up.
halloed for help, and broke up the
breakfast, for they all came running,
and had to strip Off my garments and
change the sheets and everything, and
had liked to have skinned me as clean
as hog, for the water was still as hot
as fire. And so between fire and hot
water consider myself an injured per-
son, but my wife thinks the scalding
did me good and increased the alacrity
of my movements.
But l am still calm and serene again
and enjoying the good reading sent me
by my good friends, Or. J. Win Jones
and 4. X. oglesby. Both books are
mastery indications OF the south,
and between these two men feel like
/ am poised between the pill
lars of Hercules. Every truth
is double plated, and every rivet
clinched. Then there is my good
old friend, DR.. Ward, Of Winona, Miss,
who stands in the breach and defends
us from all assaults. Ne have not had
since the war so much good southern
literature as we have now. There are
George C. Smith and DIR. Massey and
Jim Galloway and Wallace Putnam
Reid, who are full of memories of the
good old times and the good old people.
How sweetlyd did DIR. Massey's sketch Of
Judge William G. Dawson carry me
back to my college days when his boys,
Oscar and Edgar, were my college
mates and the good old men used to
come to Athens to see them and fon-
die over them and used to talk to us in
our Phi Kappa society and gave us af-
fectionate counsel. These biograph-
ical sketches of our noble men are
most delightful reading, especially to
those who, like mysesf, we're the con-
| temporaries of many of them.
But | must stop now and rest. 1t
will not do for an old man to strain
his mind. Every little while my wife
says: "Now, get up and walk about
some" and l do it. She wants me to
dance the Elephantiosis or the Buzzard
Lope, and says am getting better and
better every day. But some of these
old poems keep running in my mind:
when he was in his prime
| Ere the pruning knife OF time
| Cut him down.
| Not better man was found
| BY the watchman on his round
| Through the town.
But now his nose Is thin
And is pointing to his chin
| Like a staff
| And crook is in his back
| And melancholy crack
| In his laugh"
