Wisteria Blooms.

ed by the picture presented 10y
her lovely lit t granddaughter,
Leila DuBose, while at play IN

ty child died before the wislerit
bloomed again. 1t has never
been published, but, now mat
the wisteria is in bloom again,
these tender verses not cnlv
bring with them a breath of
spring, but bring back memo
ries of that beautiful rosebud
that the angels transplInlrd in
heaven:
Soft breezes ruslled tblcugh h
the vines,
That clustered DER her head,
And floating down in fragrant
showers,
The purple blossoms spread
A carpet Of such regal bloom
1t might have graced an Easter
loom
With tiny feet, half hid beneath
The white and purple sheen.
Like some young princess bright
and fair,
With tender grace and mien
Our baby sat within her bower,
Beauty and sweetness all her

Her red lips qui vered-but a
glance
Swift backward caught my
eye,
Then breaking into happy
smiles,
Her arms with gesture shy
Flew out TO mine, while full of
plee
Rug on. her siIvery laughter
free!
1 caught the darling to my
heart,
Win eager, fond caress;
While silent praise | raised to
Cod
Who gave this flower to bless
My worn soul, with it's
sweet grace
mat frightened every dark
some place!
Twice twelve, the months hive
rolled their round
Once more the purple shower
Comes floating down on ba lmy
breeze
From my Wisteria bower;
But never more on that bright
head
Now sleeping with the silent
dead!

OPPORTUNITIES
IN THE SOUTH.

No portion of the United
States has made greater prog
ress in the last year or two
than the South. Northern and
foreign capital is rapidly in
vadiug that section, finding
profitable investments in the
various industries and facto-
ries that are being rapidly de-
veloped and built. The great
influx of settlers is creating an
increased demand for lands of
all kinds and prices are grad
ually, advancing, as'they will
for years to come. Work is
plentiful and poverty practi-
cally unknown. Alabama is
supplying coal and iron TO all
the world. More money can
be made and with less labor in
the raising Of small fruits and
berries and 'in'truck patching
on the Gulf coast THAI in any
otherstate in the Union. Straw
berries from Alabama reach
northern markets before those
from the states in the south
east. Cattle can be raised
with great profit, there being
millions of acres of cheap
range lands. If you are in

resources and desire informa-

Pate, A Dog, And A Future Lawyer

1t is my opinion based on
long and close observation"
said Il well.known lawyer,
that Il large percentage of the
unhappiness in the world is
caused by joyless labor-that
is, by people following the
wrong occupation or profess
sion
TO be very personal and
speak of my own case, how.
ever" he continued. Il don't
know Uf any who gets more Joy
out of hs professional life than
l do. have with me always
the consciousness Of being in
my proper element. Yet, had 1
started wrong, and had it not
been for a dog, 1 would to day,
in all probability, be following
commercial lines-a life for
which [ am not fitted and in
which [ would be wretched.
''Of course, I don't know ex.
actly how it all came about,
but when | was seventeen years
Odd | had had trouble at all the
public schools that the rules of
residence permitted me to at

about half the private schools

The old folks were in de-
spair until some one suggest d
that l must be a genius or a
coming man of some sort, and
hinted that the special course
through which l was to take
my meteuric fight should be Sc.
lected and my training com

Tins view of the situation
y Ased every one, but when
the question OF choosing my
future career came up absolute,
ly nothing appealed to my roy
al fancy. In fact, my entire at
tention at that time was taken
up by flock of pigeons which
l persisted in keeping in the
back yard despite the appeals,
pathetic and otherwise, of the
neighbors; to this collection l
wished to make addition by
procuring choice pair of fan
tails which was owned by a
rival fancier of about my own
age, and l spent most of my
spare time in wondering how l
could get hold of the cash nee.
essary to make the purchase.
"Well, the whole thing ended
in father suddenly coming to
the conclusion that what had

me; so he cut off all supplies

preventing any disgraceful dis
play Of ignorance on my part
when 1 took the position which
he intended should be mine, in
his Office.
Being somewhat alarmed
at his attitude-especially the
financial phrase of tt at.

with such fidelity that he cut
short my term of probation and
gave me a job with him much
sooner than he had intended.
Though | submitted to the n.

all things considered, l Was
wretched and didn't know why.
Fate must have decided to
take Il hand in the game for,
one day, as l was returning
from my uucongenial laoors l
met dilapidated negro with
the most detected looking dog
[ had ever seen.
Being in particularly sour
mood that day was glad to
find something to vent it upon
and called out. facetiously, of
course, that 1 would give BIN
so cents for the dog.
" She am yours, boss, he
replied, promptly, offering me
the end of the rope. Aided by
what 1 thought was d look OF
appeal in the animals pathetic
brown eyes, he actually sue.
ceeded in selling me that dog,
but he reduced the price to ,25
cents.
After Nell, as we called her
had had d bath, several square
meals, d little petting thrown
in, 1 concluded that my unin.
tended investment was going to
be a bargain.
about a month later, as /
was returning from d walk with
Nell, in all the dignity of a new
collar, prancing by my side, I
noticed Il man who was stand

closely. 1 decided that he was

didn't alter my decision even
when [ discovered-in turning
to call Nell after entering the
door-that the stranger was
behind us.
In less than an hour my
mother was thrown into hys ter.

laconically that he had orders
for my arrest on the charge of

nous Gordon setter Mistletoe,
valued at $500, the property of
a well.known sporting man,
from whose kennels she had
been stolen bout two months
previously.
In view of the fact that it
was the third disappearance of
the setter, the owner had con.
cluded that it was a deliberate
theft, and, instead of following
the procedure in the 9th er two
cases and offering arewa-d, put
detectives upon the case.
Hence my arrest, upon suspic.
ion of being a party to the theft
if not the thief himself.

days-I had been treated by my
long suffering parents to so
