"AS BOLD AS A LION"
Rather Sny Bold as 81 Partridge If
You Would He Exact.


The only explanation of the adage,
"4As bold as Il lion" is that the lions
magnificent, muscular body. his noble
head, great name, the fact that he is Il
wild beast and-still more probably
his deep throated roar that sounds so
extraordinarily bold have male him
feared for generations But the lion
belongs to the family of eats and is
not bold. To those who know best he
is not brave even i'll the hour of dam
ger. The lioness, who is smaller. hss
terrible to look upon and is without
name, is brave in DEFENSE of her young,
but she, too, is not bold. She is merely
bolder than the lion In comparison
with any animal that can face danger
and fight fair" the lion is Il coward.
To prove it let us see for a moment
how it is that the lion chooses to hunt
his prey.
The lion does not hunt. In the reeds
and grasses near some pool i'll the jun
gle he lies hidden where he knows that
other animals will go to drink. Cat
like he leaps upon his victim, striking
it with his powerful paws. Then his
great jaws break the neck of the I'M
fortunate creature he has taken by sur
prise, and the lion boldly carries off
! the carcass to deyour it where he will

CRY lion can muster courage to go near
a human habitation in his search for
! food. He goes at night and stealthily.
Who knows but that his heart goes
pit-a-pat and his big limbs tremble at
every sudden noise? The natives Of
India and of Africa know, however,
| that they can brighten away Il thieving
lion by fire and torches. If cornered
and forced to fight he will do battle
savagely, but he doesn't seek an open
fight, and any traveller will tell you
that as a rule the king of beasts"
bolts on sighting man.
To be as bold as partridge = as
brave, unselfish, daring heroic, as a
partridge-is something one might be
proud to boast. No lion defends its
young with the. courage of partridge.
The lioness at bay will turn in defense
of her cubs, will fight the enemy, will
spring at him furiously; the partridge
will leave its little ones quite unpro-
tected in the nest, or wherever they
may be in hiding, and will offer herself
to spare them. 1t is not the unthink-
ing heroism of excitement. The bird
knows what she is doing and the dan
ger. She schemes to attract attention
to herself, but she manages to lead the
dogs on, and she escapes. We at least
have never heard anything in the life

"Robbinx peter to Pay Paul.

"Robbing Peter to pay Paul. was
first used when Westminster abbey was
called st. Peters cathedral. Money
being needed to settle the accounts of
st. Paul's cathedral, it was taken by
those in authority from st. Peters,
quite to the dissatisfaction of the peo-
pie, who asked, "Why rob st. Peter to
Gay st. PaulY Over 300 years after

bury him there would be for the second
time ''rsbbtlry st. Peter to pay St
Paul" The abbey carried the day.

1t was October; perhaps she might
find some of her friends returning to
the city. Pausing moment on the
threshold of the sleeper, she looked
down the red plush aisle.
A few feet in front of her man was
seated, with his back turned toward
her. He had light hair, Just like Mr..
Hardin's." and standing on the seat
beside him was little child. The car
lurched, and the little fellow swayed,
only to be caught by strong arm that
threw him downward. Then the mans
head darted down, and Alice smiled at
the screams Of childish laughter
She watched them for moment;
then the child, peering over the mans
shoulder. called out: "Pretty lady!
Pretty LADY, And she, feeling too
weary to more than smile ut the little
fellow, turned to go back to her unin-
teresting book.
The train was crossing the long
bridge over Lake Pontchartrain, and
Alice paused in the vestibule between
the Pullman and the chair car. Stand
ing at the window she looked out upon
the vastness of the moonlit lake and
sky and felt very tired and small and
useless. She was not blue, nor was
she morbid, but somehow her heart re-
belled at going back to that old life in

her, and, drawing her hands away
she turned and looked again upon the
moonlit water.

he noted that she was not listening.
He stepped nearer to her side.

saw how the moonlight was caught and

cheek and which she could not help

reason why they fell.

There was long pause. and when
she answered her voice was like tired

She had turned and involuntarily
stretched forth her hands again, but

folded her in his arms.

FOR A COMMON GOOD

From every section of the country
C mes indications that democrats are
going TO get together this year They
are going to unite for common good;
for the honor and prosperity of the
couutry, which can only be assured
in the election of a democratic chief
executive of the nation and the sound
ing of the death knelI of Rooseveltism,
with all the horrifying dangers.
The hosts are coming together,
and even the frantic efforts of Bryan
to retard and destroy success will
prove futile this time
The North and South alike, t.ring
OF present conditions, will unite IN an
effort for democratic success, which
means the safety of the country and
its institutions; the maintenance Of
peace and upholding of the laws and
the constitution as it exists.
While the re- elections of r ,osevelt
would imperil the entire country, Its
effsct upon the South would be too
horrifying to contemplate.
Roosevelt's election would mean tx
the South the forcing Of negro Off
cials upon white people against thell
will, thereby incit1ng race hatred
disorder and bloodshed. where the
paramount interests of both races de-
mand mutual friendship, tranquility
and the unrestrained expression of To
natural sympathy of the white peo
pie for the negroes.
It would mean the constant dissent
nation of the vicious doctrine of tn,
social equality of the races, leading
foolish negroes to hope for recognition
they will never be able to get, AM
failing to obtain which they will be
come diseontented, impudent, worth
less and in many cases crimina', tn
inevitable result being racial friction
with the possibility of a race war, tn
evils of which can hardly be enum
Grated.
1t would mean a state of affair
which would disturb the social, poll
ticaI, educational industrial and ma
terial welfare of the races, and Incl
dentally affect the peace and progress
of the entire nation.
In view of all that Rooseveltisn
means to the South, it is no time fo
Southern democrats to be spl1ttin
hairs about the small disagreement
between the various party faction
wholly over questions of minor i'm
portance. The highest considera' ion
of social and industrial tranquil ty i
the South demand the defeat of thu
reckless and eccentric enemy of South
ern civilization.
Hail the day when the prospect c
such terrible conditions is forever de
stroyed by the final overthrow c
Roosevelt and his negroisms.
