Brotherly Kindness

The Brooklyn Eagle, in reporting
a Hebrew meeting in honor of Lin
coins birthday, says that one rabbi
present, Mr.. A. S. Solomons, had
the pleasure of knowing Lincoln,
and could, therefore, even at this
late day, give fresh recollections Of
him. One of these memories has a
sweet significance now to both North
and South.
When Lincoln had returned from
Richmond, after it's surrender, a de-
tachment of volunteer infantry, rag
ged and worm, with arms at WILL
passed under the portico of the
White House. There the men halt
ed and began calling:
"Lincoln! Lincoln!"
The President appeared at the
seeond-story window. He, too, look
ed as if he had seen service. de
wore a brown linen buster, wrlnKIeu
and spotted with mud. His face
was lined and haggard.
The band struck up a martial all
the President bowed his thanks anu
the crowed yelled:
"Speech! Speech"
Lincoln began a speech, breathing
such kindly feeling for the oOu'n'
that it, at that impetuous time -
had been put into print, the NOl'H
would have felt affronted. YET liz
was so over-joyed at the proSps's
of peace that his heart overno"'D

Social Life in the Country.

w ONJ A@OAS
is more than meat or drink. Even
the animals thrive best under society.
Two pigs in the pen do better than
one. and the bull likes company even
though it be only a runty steer.
Farmers will have their social life,
and it is simply a question whether
they will provide it for themselves
or depend for it upon the town.
One of the potent forces which are
driving farmers to town is not the
fear of work, not even the work of
milking COWS, but the feeling that
they can obtain better social privi-
leges and school privileges in the
country town than on the farm.
When the movement to town first
sets in it weakens the churches, de-
pletes the school, and when this has
we'll begun it gathers force. The
church becomes 50 small that it can
support only a cheap preacher, and
many farmers conclude that they will
ioin in the procession and seek their
preaching and their schooling in the
nearest town.
Is this avoidable? Certainly, if
the farmers think so. The first mis-
take is made in not providing for the
social life of the country. One of
the strong points of the old Grange
was that it made provision for this
social life. When in Kansas we visit
ed Oak Hall Grange, a relic of the
old Granger days, and found a large
building with AN assembly room, din
ing-room and kitchen, amply furnish
ed; a series of sheds for horses, Civ
ing full protection from rain and
snow; and found a social life in the
community which if existing in every
community would go far to stop the
exodus to the towns and maintain
churches and schools. We hear of
like conditions here and there over
the West and everywhere there is a
higher and better social life and a
spirit of contentment which does not
elsewhere exist. This is one form of
avoiding the evil of farmers focking
to town.
The country church should be a
centre of social life. There is no
reason why it should not have it's
kitchen and apartments for holding
meetings of the members or of the
neighborhood. A church, whether in
town or country, should be for use
more than N day and one or two
evenings in the week.
1t is time that the farm wives and
daughters should cut loose from club
dom in town with all it's strife, preju-
dices, rivalries for position and
place, and organize clubs of their
own. Wherever a Daughter of Ceres
Club has been organized, it has been
found by experience to be a blessing
to the community. There is no rea-
son why farmers wives should not
have clubs, meeting monthly or semi
monthly, in which there is a great
deal more solid comfort than the
farmers wife can ever find in a club

What About the Homework on the
Farm?
The thoughtful farmer has doubt
less prepared for the seasons crop
ing. He has all the tools he needs
and has them in shape for work. He
has probably gotten some new ma
chinery for the farm that will for
ward the work and make it more
effective and profitable. The scar
city of farm hands over the North
ern States and the high wages that
are now paid for effective men make
it essential that improved nipple
ments and machines should be en-
ployed as much as possible, so as
to get the very best out of each
mans labor. And this is what every
progressive farmer will do.
But how about the house? Is
your wife doing all her work single
handed? Is she the cook for a lot
of farm hands, the laundry woman
for the household, and even with
some the gardener to raise venegta-
bles for the crowd? Has she all
the latest and best implements to
make her work effective? With wa
ter at hand in the barn and barn
yard for the stock, does your wife
have to "tote" water in a bucket
from the spring or we'll? In short,
are you trying to make the work
in the house as easy of accomplish
ment and as effective as you are the
work on the farm? If not, then
are you doing what you promised
when you got your wife and prom
Used in the sight of God to do all
that you could to make her life
pleasant and happy? It is just as
important that the homework
should be easy, effective and pleas
ant for those who do it, as it is for
the WORK on the farm to be treated
in the same way. Think over these
things, and when you note with
pleasure the perfect equipment you
have made for the seasons work on
the farm, see that an equally perfect
equipment is provided for the work
of the family inside the house. Find
out every morning what vegetables
are needed for the table, and get
and clean them at hand so that the
busy wife does not have to trail her
skirts in the dew to get them. See
that she has water at hand, and if
no running water is in the house,
have the supply brought, and then
plan for running water as soon as
possible. Have in the house every
machine and implement needed to
make the labor lighter and more eff
fective just as you do at the barn.

ANAPPEAL WITHDRAWN
GEoRGE MINNITTS SEEKS AID
 vE PARDON BOARD.
Attorneys for Condemned Negro Stop Proceedings in Supreme Court That Executive Clemency
 May Be Invoked.

.fha attorneys of George Minnitts a condemned negro murderer of Je1erson county. have withdrawn his appeal from the Supreme Court that they may plead before the State Board of Pardons for 6 commutation of the death sentence.
 The Board of Pardons, it is understood, would not consider the plea for execu- tive clemency while an appeal to the Supreme Court was pending. The attor- neys for Minnitts therefore moved before the Supreme Court, the withdrawal of the appeal
 The lease on life given Minnitts by the lower court had expired. The day for his execution had passed and un- der the law the court in granting the motion of withdrawal had to set new date for the hanging. In granting the motion yesterday the court named Jan uary s, as the day on which the con demned man shall pay the penalty for his crime. In the meanwhile, Minnitts' attorneys will make their plea to the Governor and the State Board of Par dons.
 Minnitts was convicted of the murder of Bob Nolen in the criminal court of Jefferson county. He shot Nolen to death with a pistol. Nolen was a negro. Min nitts was sentenced to be hanged June 1s
 Yesterday was criminal day of the Sixth division. A large number of criminal pases were submitted, including two cap ltal cases. Robert Stone, one of the condemned men, killed William Henry Thomas, a fellow convict in the mines of Jefferson county An interesting point raised by the appeal. is the claim made by the attorneys for the condemned man that the lower court which tried him acted without it's Jurisdiction, inas- much as he was a convict and under the care of the State at the time the crime was committed.
 The other capital case comes up from Walker county. Henry Walker was con- victed ir. the Circuit Court of Walker county flor the murder of Maggie Durkin with Mn axe, and his attorneys have brought the case to the Supreme Court

 With delight the thousand friends that Peter has made will welcome Peters book full of an entire alphabet of peo- pie just like Peter.

 There's Davy Doldrum, who dream'd he drove a dragon-and turn the page 1 and there is Davy-dreaming dreadfully! There is Jumping Jockey, who jeered a testing juggler, and LanSy Lawrence who lost his lass and lobster, and Mat thew Mendlegs who missed his meddllne monkey, and Oliver Oglethorpe who ogled an owl and an oyster, and Rory Rumpus who rode rawboned racer, and many more.
