II il true that Witte has in the past

for he place Of diplomatic agent be-
cause he was the only man with IN

Since the beginning of the Russian

PRESIDENT nv SOUTH

We have always believed that Presl-
denf Roosevelt would receive a more
hospitable and enthusiastic reception
in the south than in the north. Ills
decision TO visit that section al this
time has made him immensely popular
and practically all the prejudice and
feeling against him has disapp AIRED.
The Memphis Scimeter editorlally says
of the visit.
The proper public bodies Of Mem
phis should arrange and see that the
pra sident has the most cordial and
complete reception possible for his
short stay in the city.
Within the last few months Presi
dent Roosevelt has grown very strong
in the outh, and naturally so BY ma
ture he respects ami admires he chiv'
airy generosity and courage of the
southern people. and they feel uncon
sciously and consciously this fact and
respond 10 II.
The president has also shown that
/ h is large enough TO modify or change
his yiew;i along certain lines from
chang MS conditions, or accommodating
| information.
=, He himself would probably be sur
prised somewhat to hear the express
icns of the warmest regard from OLD
school democrats aud old schol confed
crates ami their sons
The southern people In true, likI
manly man. and. like the people o
jihr whole country. they like a mar

THE DAILY JINGLE
SLEEP.

The lids grow heavy
And the eyes grow dim.
The mind grows weary
And the senses swim
Bright pictures come
In the fire-light's glow,
The bosom heayes
And the breath comes slew,
The thoughts of the days toll
Swiftly fly
Like darkening clouds
From the deep blue sky;
They fold their tents,
As the poets say,
And in the darkness
Steal away,
The lampIights shadows
Upon the wall
Grow into towers
Grand and tall.
The ericket's song
Beneath the hearth
Is the song of childhood s
Fun and mirth.
Till at last the eyelids,
Dropping low,
Shut out the freight s
Dancing glow;
And The weak vision
Takes It's flight
70 iand oil dreams
Thro' the drear, dark night.
