position that . labor union can do no

How is il with the democratic party,
Our political history has never seen a sit
nation so ludicrous as that which the nat
ionll democracy now holds. can un-
derstand hos the citizens can work for
the republican party and vote its ticket
with enthusiastic zeal II the republican
party represents his ideals OF government
then he is justly proud of it, can justly
confide in ii, for it has stood by its prin-
ciples through storm as well as sunshine,
and no matter how bad you and may
think its creed is. we are bound to admit
that the republican party has creed, is
willing to figh, for it. is willing to cling
to it in defeat. and continue to struggle
for II until victory comes again. But why
any human being should, in the year 1904
vote the national democratic ticket is
something that passes my untutored com
prehension. A striking passage from
watson's speech accepting the popuiist
nomination for president.

Automobile Dust Trials.

One of the features of the reliability
trials by the London Automobile Club
at the Crystal Palace was dust
trial" At three points in the banked
up circular cycle track half the road
way was covered with an inch layer Of
-four mill sweepings. One automobile
acted as pilot to the competing car, in
order that the speed, which was ap-
proximately thirty miles an hour,
might be gagged, and as the competing
car few through the -four two cam
eras recorded the cloud of dust"
The lesson taught by the dust trials
was that the lower and more cumber-
some the gear and boxes under the
body Of the car the greater is the dust
raised.

Looming the Loon.

While the Immortals are browsing
over their National French dictionary,
the law courts have been adding, Of

language. In an action brought by
the Olympia Music Hall company
against the Casino de Paris for an in
junction restraining the latter from
advertising an exhibition of Looping
the loop" the court held that "loop-
ing the loop" now belonged to all Ian
guages and consequently was an or
binary French word of description.

Which Was the corruptor2

There is a family that has recently
had presented to it a very brilliant
parrot that is a great talker. The
bird was presented to the family by
sea captain, and as a gift it is great
ly priced. But lately it has become a
thorn in the side of the lady of the
house, who has a bright little son, 7
years old. The other day she said to
neighbor: 81 am afraid we shall
have to get rid Of that parrot-that
is, as soon as am sure of one thing"
What is that?" asked the neighbor.
whether Johnny is corrupting the
parrot or the parrot is corrupting

In Praise of the Apple,

The apple is the most democratic
Of all fruits. The pomegranate is
priestly; the grape is royal; the Or
ange is luxurious; the peach and pear
are plutocratic. but the apple belongs
to the populace. 1t is symbolic of the
country store and the corner grocery.
1t breathes the free spirit of the Amer
lean township and village. 1t has a
flavor of old New England and yet a
pungency as of the South and the mid
die West. 1t is mild, palatable, nour-
ishing and promotive of good fellow
ship and long life.-Atlanta Journal.

Teach Names Of Wild Flowers.

A public museum at Brighton, Eng
land, has adopted a custom which
should be followed elsewhere. Persons
are encouraged to bring in fresh
lunches of local wild flowers culled
during their walks to one of the Off
Gals, who arranges the specimens
each morning in glass vases contain
ing water and affixes both the botan-
ical and English name. Thus visitors
are made acquainted with the flowers
which they have seen growing wild
but regarding which they have had no
information.

The Songs I slnu.

My songs. II neither grand nor loud,
Nor any portion of them sweet,
OF them I still must e'er be proud,
II they but your approval meet.
My songs for ages may not live
To be repeated far and wide:
II they to you one Joy but give,
In them ever must take pride.
My songs may never have a place
With those that so the world delight;
II in them you some merit trace,
/ ask for them no greater height
The songs l sing may power lack
Mid famous songs to hold their part
And yet l would not call them back,
II only one has touched your heart.

SOUTH'S BRAINS AND DEEDS.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal
The United States cannot get
along without the South and
her splendid sons 1t was a
Southerner that wrote the dec.
laration of Independence and
framed the first measure abol
ishing slavery. 1t was South
eruer who conducted the RevO-
luton to a successful issue. 1t
was a South Caroliniar who
drew the framework of our i'm
mortal Constitution that was
adopted and followed by the
Colonial Convention. 1t was a
Virginian that promulgated the
Monroe doctrine. Il was an
OF her Vlrginian about a hundred
years ago, who enunciaied the
cardinal principles of civil ser
vice reform.
1t was Kentuckian who
originated and fathered protec.
tion-the cardinal principle of
the Republican party-in this
country. 1t was a Southerner
who added to the republic the
great empire of the West en-
braced in the Louisiana Pur-
chase. 1t was Tenneseean
who smashed the British at
New Orleans and crowned the
war of 1912 with success. 1t was
the military genius of the South
that won the Mexican war. 1t
was a Southerner who marked
out the Gulf Stream and brought
about the establishment of the
Naval Academy. 1t was a Ken.
tuckian who guided the ship of
state through the war of seces-
sion and freed the slaves!
1t was a Tennesseean who
commanded the Federal fleets
during the Civil war and became
one of the three admiraIs the
country has had. 1t was a
Southerner who was in com
mand of the feet at Santiago
that destroyed the naval power
OF Spain, Instances might be
multiplied of the genius, the
enterprise and the vaIor of the
sons of the South; but we have
named enough to prove that
the country cannot do without
the South.

About Telegraph Poles.

If the trees to replace the tele-

were growing and forty could be OBJ
tanned from each acre, it would re-
quire 100000 acres to supply the poles

would be Of sufficient size to use for
