The Democrats were bowling
about discrimination and yet the
idea was advanced that there ought
to be discrimination in this State
as to railroad rates and a resolution
to have no such discrimination as to
mileage and to have a lower rate
was sent to the everlasting bow
vows so far as that party was con-
cerned. But the Democrats need
not worry about that or trouble
themselves as the Republicans viii
attend to that in due time.

The highest type of bossism was
exhibited in the congressional con

Wednesday. One man tried to and
did choke down the throats of the
delegation his own way of voting.
He did not give the delegation n
chance to say whom it wanted for
congress. Instead, he voted the
delegation himself. Such men as
Col. NJ. J. Francis, who has heen

legislature openly charged boss rule

The Democratic convention de-
clared against any sort of protec-

breath defeated the 2-cents a mile
resolution offered by Col. Kincaid,
of Marshall county, on the pleading
of one of the leaders of the party
that railroads ought to be protect
ed. What does the average think
ing man think of that?

1t is a good thing financially for

For blunders from the standpoint
of going before the people with a

There was quite a protest, when
the tax laws were sprung in the
Democratic convention and some
said openly it would be political
suicide to have the nominee run on
a platform opposed to these laws.
That shows some how the cat is
hopping in the Democratic camp as
to the new tax laws.

AMERICAN WOMEN
OF a BYGONE DAY

Exquisite Grace.

Anne HolIngsworth Wharton. in her
charming book, Through Colonial Door
ways" in chapter on New York Balls
and Receptions" says that Mrs. Wash
ington, the wife of the first President
gathered around her at her formal recep-
lions in New York. the noblest and most
Beautiful women in the land.
The authoress. after mentioning some
OF these women by name, goes on to say:
Does there not seem to have been an in
definable charm Of eoquisiteness and dig
nifty about these old time danes, like
the fragrance that surrounds some fine
and stately exotic? They had abundant
leisure to make their daily sacrifice to
the graces, and they always appear in full
toilet, hair rolled or curled slippers high
Of heel and gown OF stiff brocade or satin.
These fair ladies are never caught en-
deshabille. One reads of some OF the
bellies of the period sitting all night with
their pyramidal heads propped up against
pillows. because the naIr-dresser could
not make his round without attending to
BONE heads the night before the ball.
This WAS "souffrir pour etre belle" with
n vengeance; yet dceming 1t all in keeping
with their stately elegance, for which they
had to pay a price, one never stops to
think OF how their poor necks must have
Rched. choosing rather to dwell upon their

Then there were cakes for sale, whole
or cut. Small tables were placed at one
end of the hail. and here cake was served
with tea, coffee or chocolate. The cake
booths were attractively decorated with
crepe paper and flags. Posters announced
the specialties and prices at each. Wa
termelon cakes We're the novelty at one
booth, apple-lemon cakes at another, a
plentiful supply of cookies. dominoes,
horse cakes, gingerbread dolls and little
patty pancakes, containing prize to at

dogs, cats and vases We're put In the
dough when the little pans We're filed.
The china toys were not injured, and the
children We're delighted beyond measure.

WHEN IN a HURRY
COME TO FULL STOP
Make Speed BY Taking on Less Haste.

A woman who is hurried is apt to lose
her wits. Sometimes the number Of
things to be gotten through with In
given space OF time seems utterly hope
less. and becomes despairing from
frantic dash of energy, which only gets
affairs into worse tangled muddle
without accomplishing any satisfactory
result.
The time OF apparent hurry Is the
time of all others for a woman to learn
how to make speed by taking less haste.
Women have never yet acquired this
art which has hitherto been character
istic. especially of men. and has proved
often an invaluable aid at crisis when
nothing but n cool head and steady
hand could avert disaster
Whatever a woman's work may be.
whether 1t lies in her own home. or
outside of 1t, there will come times
when responsibilities seem more than
she can shoulder; when duties undone
stare her In the face; when the demon
of haste stands whispering at her ear:
Hurry. hurry, hurry! but hurry as you
may, you will never get through
Then II the woman can simply make
up her mind not to hurry but to take
hold of her problem with ease and de-
liberation, the chances are that 1t will

trlumphs when they entered tho BALL
room.
One enjoys the picturesque beauty Of
these stately ancestors, and, with never
a thought of their higher good, retails
their conquests with enthusiasm, wishing
that for one brief moment one could turn
back and feel what they felt when the
world WIS ut their feet. 1t was u very
small world. measured by present stand
ards. but 1t was the largest that they
knew, and 1t was all their own.
What gay pageant that old social
life now seems. One almost forgets that
the picture is linned against the stern
background of war, for 1t Is one in which
the shadows have all faded out, leaving
only the bright colors upon the canvas.
Let 1t remain so. Why should we weep
over sorrows so long past? The sting has
all gone from them, and surely there can
no harm come to this generation from
dwelling upon the beauty and grace OF
those fair ladies who ruled society hun
dred or SO years ago.
"sic transit gloria mundi," cries the
moralist, but the glory has not all passed
away, as Is proved by one's lingering over
1t now, nor need 1t be quite effaced from
the gay life Of to-day, II hearts still beat
as true under silk and broadcloth as did
those OF the fathers and mothers OF the
republic beneath brocaded bodices and
satin Waistcoats.

Just when the demand for haste
sounds Its most imperative call. is the
critical moment; the moment which in
the public and private world, in busi-
ness and in social life. great and little

stifie haste with elaboration, who learns
the masculine code of steadiness and
turns 1t to account in her time of need.

And ono OF sympathetic heart indig-

We spill the blood of beets without the

And cut the hearts out of the trees with

We chop the heads OF cabbages; we pull
the boards OF rye;
We squeeze the lemon. thresh the wheat.
and brutally we try
To peel the onion. crush the fruit and
strip bananas then
We jam the currants, and we show our
heartless nature when
We mash the turnps, whip the cream
and grind the coffee berry.
And shocking as 1t may appear. we al
ways stone the cherry.
We pound the meat, we chop the wood
and very seldom fail
To lick the necessary stamp when we

We strike the match. we switch the car.

Out OF the bosom of the air.
Out OF the cloud folds of her garments
shaken.
Over the woodlands brown and bare.
Over the harvest-felds forsaken,
Silent and soft and slow
Descends the snow.
Even as our cloudy fancies take
Suddenly shape in some divine express
sion
Even as the troubled heart doth make
In the white countenance confession.
The troubled sky reveals
The grief 1t feels
This is the poem of the air,
Slowly In silent syllables recorded;
This Is the secret of despair
Long in it's cloudy bosom boarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field.

To Memory appear
The twilight gods again;
And Reverence beneath their sway
Forgets the sovereignty of Day.
