This winter have been cher ishing the hope that I could find my self free to make a somewhat extended visit to my old time friends in the South, whose generous hospitality to me for many years is among the most grateful memories of my life. But the evening shadows of nearly f0ur-score years are gathering about me. and they plead for ease and the comforts Of home, and now I find the winter hav- ing passed away, of course I must wait until another winter before can think of Southern journey

The Southern peo- pie had been exhausted by four years of bloody war in which the Blue and the Cray made records of heroism be- fore which. the Roman story paled. Monuments of the heroes of the war, which are found in all centers of pop ulation, North and South, have become accepted not so much as monuments to Inc heroieu. of Union or Confederate as monuments to the heroism of the Amer ican people
 Not only were the Southern people exhausted by the Civil War, but when what should have been peace came to them, they had to suffer sweeping and more humiliating spoliation in the rule of the adventurer, and the pa- \ tfence of the Southern people under the l fearful aftermath of war was as heroic ! as their gallantry in the flame of bat Il tie.

Predicts a Revolution When the People
Learn of the Trusts.

Boston, Mass, Nov. IA
There is going to be a revolution
in this country, " said Mrs. Hetty
Green today, and the people are
going to revolt against the op.
preSsions of the trusts. There
will be a deluge, and these streets
will run with blood when the
people are aroused. The people
are finding out gradually about
the trusts, and when they realize
a little more fully how they are
running the chances of the average
person there is going to be a rev.
olution, 1t will be a deluge,
tell you.'
Mrs, Green, who probably is
the0richest woman in the United
States, holder of stock in many
corporations and who transscts
her business in the office of the
Chemical National bank of New
York, has many interests closely
connected with big corporations.
Yet Mrs. Green is against trusts.
She thinks them imquitous.

No Wind Broken Horses.

You never see a broken winded
horse in Norway" said a horse
doctor. That is because the
horses here are allowed to drink
while they eat, the same as man
kind.
Our horses, let them be as
thirsty as get out, must still eat
their dry fodder. their dry hay
and oats and corn with nothing
to wash them down. But in Nor.
way every horse has bucket of
water beside his manager, and, as
he eats, he drinks also.
1t is interesting to see how
the Norwegian horses relish theil
water with their meal. Now they
sip little from the bucket. now
they eat mouthful, then anot hel
then another mouthful, just like
rational human beings.
You never see a broken wind.

natives say it is because they

fora visit with friend and rela-
tlves. Ray says the bank robbery
there Tuesday afternoon was a
dandy. The robber went to the
bank just before closing time and
presented a letter of introduction
as a bank robber. When the
official of the bank had read the
letter. the robber told him he was
ready to do business. He brought
his artillery to bear on the two
men behind the rail and two
customers who were in the bank
andsdrove them into the vault,
then locked the front door, pulled
down the blinds and took what he
wanted. The banker estimated
his loss that evening at ABOUT one
thousand dollars, all. in currency.
No good description of the robber

people in the bank.
