Autumn.

Editors are employing some Of their idle
moments and their best language in paint
Ing the glories OF autumn. Weary of the
monotony of showing their subscribers the
way TO political. civic and sanitary saliva
tion, they turn dreamily to enraptured con-
temptation of the reds. browns, yellows ana
puppies OF the fail.
And. by the way, what beautiful pictures
Washington presents when the frost Is on
the calendar. II not upon the pumpkin.
There is the green OF the private lawn and
the public sward. richer. deeper and more
penetrating in its greenery than In spring.
There is the briliiancy OF the red and yellow
cannas. the flame of the scarlet sage, the
violent yellow OF the golden glow and the
purplish pinks of phlox and Grape myrtle.
The foliage of the trees Is thinning out and
the sunlight streaming through the branches
lights up the tints that tell OF coming cold.
Here and there sere and fallen leaves crinkle
under foot, but this Il tunaful sound

The Awakening.

You think you know little bit
About lot of things.
Your self-esteem will swiftly fit
AS time it's changes brings.
You think you have the answer true
To huge financial sums.
A sad awakening is your due.
Just wait till Congress comes.
About the big canal you've read.
You've watched the tariff, too.
Vast visions Of reform are spread
Before your hopeful view
You feel there soon must be an end
To all these grating plums
Right joyously your hopes ascend.
But wait till Congress comes.
Long arguma, e will longer grow,
AS in the dags agone.
And some opia.>ns win be PRO"
And many Gtl.ers con"
Where wisdom once SO plenteous seemed
You'll vainly search for crumbs.
Full sweet and pleasant are your dreams
But walt till Congress comes.

The Birds, Hard Tot.

Happy as a bird" Is an old saying. but,
for all that, the bird has a hard time. NO
matter whether he sings like a bird or
only sings like some, persons who think
they do; whether he lives on insects or
just takes a few pests as relish to MS
craw; whether his flesh, is fit for human
food or only fit for natures scavengers, 1t
makes little difference. If he is Bird
and has feathers, his life Is wanted. AS
civilization increases so does bird slaughter.
Now, there is the automatic shotgun
First there was the muzzle-loader, then the
breech-loader with ready-made shells.
Next came the repeating shotgun, and now
we have the automatic. shotgun. All the
sport has to do is to pull the trigger in
quick succession and clouds Of shot are
discharged. "Sportsmen" demand a faster
gun Wild creatures are increasing CD with
such amazing rapidity that man Is threat
ened with extinction. f...~.,5-.s -
1t used to be that the true "sport''-the
man who killed not for meat. but for
the gentle pleasure of tearing away beaks.
heads, wings and breasts - believed that
game should have fighting chance for Nfe.
that is a slight chance of, escape, This
belief is now an old fogyism. Every
sport" knows now that the game should
have no chance to get away. XIII what
you see, but kill anyway" Is the sporty
motto.
Once upon time success in hunting de-
pended largely upon skill in shooting
straight, patience in waiting stealth in
creeping and hardihood in walking But
hunting is getting to be matter of me-
chanics f"eh ~-
Somehow the thought impresses itself that
the sportsman" who hunts birds with au-
tomato guns is some kin to the sports
man" who fishes with aseine or who catches
trout by exploding dynamite in the brook.
Then. there are the ladies. They must
have birds for their bonnets. hat I'M

flying her head-coyering with dead cats
mice. chickens or stuffed fish. She must
have dead chipnunks. squirrels. pheasants,
owls. herons and humming birds.

Mckinley and the Negro.

The Springfield Republican. in a long edi-
toriaI entitled The President and the Me-
gro" says: 1s la-444 .sa5
The late President Mckinley distin-
guished his administration by abandoning
the negro in politics and endeavoring to
develop a white mans republican party in
the south. This fact has almost been for
gotten during the past four years of Roose-
welt administration, on account OF the SUD
stantial reversal by Mr.. Roosevelt of his
predecessors program -,.-a--.a
This is a remarkable statement. Mr. Nc
Kinley did not abandon the negro, but he
injured the negro in politics and In every
way by some of the very worst appoint
ments of negroes to Office in the south that
ever were made And she appointed more
negroes to office than any of his predeces-
sors In the White House, and very many
more than his successor there has done.
His record in this particular was. upon the
whole. deplorable.
But we all know the embarrassments
under which he labored. Mr.. Hanna was
really the responsible man. In the winter
of 1866 he had found himself bidding
against the Reed men for southern dele
gates TO the national convention, and as
practical hand In practical politics he had
bid high He raised the Reed men COM
pleteiy out But in doing so he pledged
patronage here and there, and when Mr..
Mckinley took office Mr.. Hanna's pledges
had to be redeemed. or Mr.. Hanna re-
buked OF course Mr.. Mckinley stood by
his friend and manager, and the result was
such denunciation by southern men and
newspapers as few Presidents have ever re-
ceived.
At a later day Mr.. Mckinley had an eX-
ceptional opportunity for winning southern
favor. and he gladly embraced 1t. The
war with Spain came on and the young men
of the south were eager to show their
mettle Political lines, as we all know,
were ignored in the preparations. Demo-
Gratis as well as republicans were welcomed
at the White House. and many commissions
to places in the army went south. The men
who received them all did well, and the
President was most complimentary In
speaking Of them to their senators and
representatives in Congress. As result
the old partisan scores were all wiped out,
and Mr. Mckinley became one of the most
popular men throughout the whole south
srn country Then his fate at Buffalo
still further endeared him to everybody.
II Is just as well to keep the record
straight We may say with safety that 1t
would have been better for the negro II
Mr. Mckinley had abandoned him rather
than make some OF the appointments OF
members of the race to office that he did,
They were reflection on their race and on
the country. er7~f Pea. s+zf -

which the street cleaning department does
Its utmost to prevent. Street sweepers see
no poetry and hear no music in dead leaves.
All ground leaves are litter.
The Boston Transcript says thisf
1.-THE stamp of provincialism is upon the
man today who sentimsntalizes over au-
tumn as In death throes OF the year He
not only Is false to the New England COM
science which accepts all things for the
best; he not only proves himself inappre-
ciative toward the real magnidcence Of the
season; but he Is hopelessly Anticipated in
his conception of life. Modern comfort has
set winter at defiance: we have exercised
that dread spirit which haunted the past
with our magic spells of furnaces and good
anthracite coal All that h left In the power
occasional twinge of elemental cold, to re-
mind as OF our progress beyond our ances-
tors. Man has adapted nature fairly well TO
himself. There Is no possible excuse for the
apprehension with which he looks forward
to winter stripped Of all its terrors. That
fear should suffer its proper atrophy accord
ing to the laws OF evolution. and should
pass Into The rudimentary stage or disap-
pear altogether; while the organs OF appre-
citation and confidence should develop into
iusty prominence.
In the same vein Is this from the Toronto
Star:
Failing leaf and fading tree. So runs the
old song, with it's burden OF regret for van
ished summer We beg to move in amend
ment that 1t read flaming tree. At no time
are the trees more vivid in their coloring
than In autumn. With their splendid reds
and yellows they are glorious as an army
with banners. The virginia. green of spring.
the darker emerald of summer, these may
be beautiful, but give us, for choice, this
autumnal foliage, which challenges the sun
set with it's lambert hues. Some poets call
them hectic tints,, and associate them with
death and decay. They do not know their
business They are not TRUE poets who see
to the heart of things. If they were they
would know that the leaves are transfg-
ured, as dying faces are which catch
glimpse of the joys of heaven. It Is the
glow of immortal life that the autumn
leaves picture forth, not darkness and an

 But old Jess Harkins, her father, did not see 1t that way. He knew Morg Ellet was a hard drinker and reckless young fellow, and,- besides, his daughter, he thought, was too young to be married. But-as usual love laughed at parental objections One night Mattie orept out on to the roof of the '1ean-to." of her fathers home up in the hills ten miles from Campbellsville, scurried across the fields to the big road. climbed up be- hind Morg Ellet on his horse. and they started away through the darkness towards Campbellsville. The barking of the dogs aroused old man Harkins, and, ltIrriedly grabbing his rifle, he started in pursuit on horseback He reached Campbellsville after midnight just in time to meet his daughter and his new son-in-law coming away from the home of the justice of the peace - man and wife. Harkins stormed and. throwing his rifle to his shoulder, prepared to dispose of a son in-law summarily. but his daughter stepped in front of her husband and defied him to shoot
 Eventually Old Man Harkins for gave them. For Morg "steadied down" and became the "lovingest" husband in Campbellsville. Eleven months af- ter the elopement Morg went hunting. While he was sitting on a fence his rifle slipped. the hammer struck a rail, and the bullet pierced his brain
 Matte Ellet remained widow just ten months, then her heart was by stephen Boards. who was elderly. kind ly and wealthy. owner of a large farm and much timber land. The young widow was in financial straits, for the Ellet property had fallen in value and was plastered with mortgages, most of which were held by Boards He was a strange man. much disliked. and not popular with any one in the county, despite his wealth and his real kind ness of heart, which he hid under a grufT and forbidding exterior. The young men of tine county flocked around Mrs. Elicit, but she repulsed them all and struggled alone to hold up the family name of the Ellers and save the property from being sold un- der the sherin's hammer.
 In the crisis of her financial affairs stephen Boards came up to her little cottage one evening to talk business. The strange, quiet, much disliked man, listened while she told him her troub- les and pleaded for more time to pay the claims due him. Without word he took a bunch of papers from his pocket. he told her to examine them.
