The South still bankers after the days befo' the
war. The Kentucky vagrancy law, under the pro-
visions of which recently sold into slavery
for six months is distinctly ante bellum institu-
ton. if indeed it does not SAVIOR of the middle ages
1t certainly has place in this century. The law
is disgrace not only to Kentucky, but to the whole
country. 1t is as far wrong it be. No gov
eminent has the least moral right to encourage sav
cry in any form and amount of legislation can give
it that right The Kentucky law u.s. however, only the
logical step beyond the laws which permit the ex-
stence of the bells called convict camps the South
Migrants should be committed to workhouse or to
some institution where they can be compelled to
support themselves during their incarceration, but
they have rights which should be respected as much
as the rights of who has not offended organ
lied society by being without visible means of sup
port" The state cannot shirk it's responsibilities
by resurrecting the putrefying corpse of slavery.

ODDS AND ENDS.

The most arduous duties of some
OF the army and navy officers lies
in attending social functions and
devising means to bring influence
to bear upon the government for
larger army and navy, in the hope
that they may have nothing to do
but receive promotion to a more
exalted and lucrative rank and
spend their salaries.
When the Odds and Ends man
discontinued series Of articles
on "Notes of Travel" in other
columns Of THE MIRROR, about a
year ago, it had been his intention
to include something Of Canada,
particularly of the better portion
Of the northwest, the province of
Alberta, of which the little city of
Calgary is the metropolis. When
the writer first visited that section
Of the country there was nothing'to
be seen but vast expanse Of roll
ing prairie, with rich dark soil,
green grass, beautiful rivers and
lakes. 1t was not many weeks,
however, until a.town was growing
up like magic in a beautiful and
most promising location. 1t was
and is, Calgary and is situated on
the line of the Canadian Pacific
railway, little less than thou
sand miles west Of Winnipeg,
Manitoba, $50 miles east of Van
couver, British Columbia, just
few miles from the eastern slope
of the Rocky Mountains, 100 miles
north of the national boundary,
near the 51st parallel. It now has
a population of about six thou
sand and is essentially a cattle
mems and railroad town.
Calgary is situated in the angle
formed by the confluence of the
Bow and Elbow Rivers, both small
Rocky Mountain streams of about
200 and 100 feet width respectively.
1t is the home of a number of
cattle kings and many other cattle
men who are not yet kings. But
there are considerably more than
a hundred thousand head of
cattle within radius of few
miles of town all owned by Calgary
men. The town is the most i'm
portant point on the Canadian
Pacific coast, the headquarters of
the Calgary and Edmonton road
running north and south, and it is
soon to have one or two other rail
roads. Being near the Rocky
Mountains the temperature is
tempered considerably by the warm
winds of the Pacific, and wheat and
other agricultural products, vege-
tables, beautiful flowers, etc., -four
ish the same as in Minnesota and
other states, but stock raising is
the chief industry thus far.
Calgary is nicely laid out, with
wide streets and many fine stone
buildings of considerable beauty.
Alexander Corner, the Nelson
Bank, Herald Office, Post Office,
Canadian Bank of Commerce and
Bank of Montreal are among the
substantial business blocks, while
many fine stone residences abound
Chief among which are those of
Mr.. Burns, the cattle king, which
cost $4,000 and Mr.. Loughhead's
beautiful home. The only saloons
or bars are in the hotels: there
are eight churches, good schools
and everything that goes with a
progressive up-to-date eastern
town.
There is no timber in the i'm
mediate vicinity most of the wood
coming from mountains a few
miles west, but there are extensive
coal deposits throughout that re-

is not resourceful, so much so in
fact that few there are who enter
and go to work in their chosen
field of labor with the means at
their command who do not sue
coed.
A few miles west of Calgary is
the line dividing Alberta and
British Columbia and from there
to the coast most Of the country is
heavily timbered and has innum
cradle rich gold and coal mines.
In forming our dislikes for in
dividuals because Of certain fault,
let us strive to be more charitable,
bearing in mind that we all have
peculiarities and shortcomings. It
would be difficult to find a person
who has not one or more faults.

Why is it easier to excel in bad
ness than to reach mediocrity in
the good?
The Odds and Ends man doesn't
pretend to be any better looking
than Sinbad or Gypsy; but with
no intention of reflection or fattery,
did any person ever see two beings
look more alike than a rear view
of Sinbad and Gypsy when they
walk side by side up street?
The first steel pen was made in
1880.
Harley tells The MIRROR
readers that memphis looked the
most enterprising city he found in
Gil the South" Memphis is good
town, but surely Harley doesn't.
mean to say it has the enterprise
that is to be found in such cities
as Louisville and Atlanta! Mem
phis has neither the southern nor
northern enterprise that Atlanta
hast has neither the amount of
southern nor northern capital in
vested in it that Atlanta possesses
1t has none of Atlanta's eight
and ten story buildings. Beyond a
stones throw from the Peabody
hotel there is nothing sufficiently
striking in Memphis, people or
business, to compare with the en-
terprising spirit exhibited in the
entire length and breadth of Ala
bama, Whitehall and Peachtree
Streets in Atlanta. No residential
street in Memphis or other south
ern city and few anywhere, north,
east or west will compare with that
portion of Peachtree Street which
extends from the Aragon hotel to
near the entrance of Piedmont
park, distance of two miles.
But maybe Harley" has not
seen Atlanta and some other cities
of the South. Beg pardon.
The municipal Doodle fever has
spread from Philadelphia to the
Pacific coast, hitting hard in few
high places and striking Seattle
with great force. In that city the
grand jury has found indictments
against all kinds Of people and all
kinds of things, from the mayor
down, from the resorts on Lake
Washington and on Yessler Way
to the fishes in Elliot Bay. But
grand jury indictments in that city
amount to but little more than the
proverbial hot air embraced in
strong language, for Seattle is a
cloud and hot town. The
whole district south of YessIer
Way is kept humming nightly by
concert halls, variety theatres and
crowds of men and women Tbera

If the reader wants stronger proof

can it bea
Mrs. a. S. Bracey, of 400 Water street,
says. 1T is impossible to describe what
/ suffered during four years when at
tacls of baclz-ache existed. The pain
was often unbearable and 1 really think
each succeeding attack was more pro-
Ionged and more pronounced than its pre-
decessors. In the spring of 1901 the
trouble became much more serious, swell
ing of the limbs and trouble with the
kidney secretions and other signs of &C
ute kidney complaint existing which pre-
vented me from even lying down long in
one position and compelled me to sit up
most of the time, made me anxious about
my condition and kept me constantly on
the outlook for something to check the
trouble doctored, tried medicines and
even went to New York city and was
treated for three months by a specialist,
who did not benefit me in the least.
When Doan's Kidney Pills were recon-
mended to me I must confess had very
little faith in their treatment, but, like
drowning persons clinging to straw,
and willing to try anything, box was
procured for me at Wells & Haymaker's
drug store. Taking it strictly according
to directions, 1 first noticed a difference
in the color of the secretions from the
kidneys and that the pain in my back
was gradually being alIayed- As con-
tinued the great efficacy of Doan's Kid
ney Pills was proved and can sum up
my opinion OF the preparation by terseiy
stating that I wish had known about
the remely long ago, for would have
been saved a great deal of suffering and
a considerable financial outlay"
