Awkwardiy Worded,

The Perkins and the Podgrass
families are unfriendly. Adherents
of the Perkinses say it is Mr.. Pod
grass fault, but he warmly protests
that he meant no harm.
The trouble began at the concert
given in aid of the Volunteer Hose
company. Mr.. Podgrass was stage
manager. Miss Anna Belle Perkins
was down for solo, but when the
eventful evening came she found
herself prostrated with cold and
at the last moment sent messenger
to ask that she be excused to the au-
dience. When her place on the pro-
gramme was reached Mr.. Podgrass
advanced to the front of the plat
form.
'Iadies and gentlemen" he said,
esI have to announce that Miss Per-
kins will be unable to sing, as an
nounced, and therefore Mr.. Brown
will give us "A Song Of Thanksgiv-

trip with playmate, and it was the
day that the lad failed miser4biy in
his spelling. The teacher told him
to stay in after school aud learn the
lesson aud recite it. He informed his

This. rsscarcefu! brother, whc pos

that as the twins were so strikingly

Smith maintains on the farm six

for the white children. During the
school season every child is cncour-
aged and given every opportunity to
attend.
Another notable feature of Smith
onia one finds in Col. Smiths meth
DDS. Some seem wasteful in time
and labor. One sometimes sees 40
women and children failing seed from
amber cane, when two men and ma.
chine could do the work just as we'll
and in much less time. His wheat is
cut with the old-fashioned scythe and
cradle instead Of with the modern reap
er. The reason is tha. no machine
has been invented that can success

Of negro laborezs must be kept on
hand to pick the crop; Col. Smith
employs old.fashioned methods to
keep his labofers at hand for picking

them busy.
He grows wheat and corn, though
cotton is the main crop. Smithonia,
~ liberal fertilization aud by close
personal attention, has been made
more productive by far than the aver
age cotton farm in Georgia. Two
bales on acre are produced on some Of
the fields containing as much as 100
acres. The average crop is about one
bale Of 500 pounds to every two aores.
Cottonseed, formerly thrown away as
worthless, has become an important
source Of revenue. Col. Smith was
among the first to build in the South
q cotton seed oil mill and convert his
seed into oil and cotton seed meal.
He he's fertilizer plant, and makes
about 5000 tons Of fertilizers year,
all Of which is used on the farm. He
has blacksmith shop equipped at o
cost of $4,000 and run by steam,
which is kept busy all the time in the
necessary repair work. There are
about 500 houses on the plantation.

HOLBEIN AND TITAN.
To One tho World Was Pilgrimage, to
the Other Pages It.

The genius Of IIolbein blossomed
early. In 1915, when he was eight
cen years old, he moved from Augs-
burg, where he was boyn, to Basel,
the center of learning, whose boast
was that every house in it contained
at least one learned man. tn 1920
he was admitted to citizenship at
Basel and to membership in the
painters guild, good proof, as he was
only twenty-three, of his unusual
ability.
But the times were lean ones for
the painter. Holbcin found himself
in need of money and accordingly
set out for London with q letter of
Introduction to Sir Thomas More,
the kings chancellor.
Master Haunce," as the English
called him, arrived in England to-
ward the close Of 1926. During this
first visit to England he painted por-
traits Of many of the leading men of
the day, but two years later, in con-
sequence Of an outbreak Of the
plague, lie returned to Basel, only to
be driven back to England in 1881
by poverty and the death of his old
friends.
BY 1887 Holbein had come to the
notice of Henry VIII. and was es-
tablished as court painter, a posi-
tion which he held until his death.
This seems to have occurred during
another visitation of the plague in
1913, for at this date knowledge of
the great artist ceases. When he
died or where he was buried is not
known.
What contrast between his life
and Titian's-one the favorite and
the other the sport of fortune, for,
though the greatness Of both was
recognized by the men Of their
time, Titan lived life of suDop-
tuous ease in the beautiful sur
roundings of Venice, while Holbein,
often straitened for money, never
wealthy, experienced the rigor of
poverty, forced by need and circum-
stances to become an alien in q
strange land, dying unnoticed and
unhonored.
The world to Titan was pag-
cant; to Holbein, q scene of toll
and pilgrimage.-St. Nicholas.

Parkman'a Deed Of Justice. !.

A story is told about Francis
Parkman, the historian, which shows
that in spite of'impaired eyesight he
was not blind to injustice. A friend
met him walking along the street,
holding two street boys by their coat
collars. In reply to his friend 3 re-
quest for an explanation Parkmans
said: 81 found this boy had eaten an
apple without dividing with his lit
tie brother. Now I'm going to buy
one for the little boy and make the
big one look on while he eats it,.
After reading this incident we
should expect fairness OF treatment
