WHAT ABOUT MOTHER
Give mother a vacation.

Give mother a vacation.
Take her with you to that pic
mic.
Let her go with you on that ex-
cursion to the spring.
Have her spend few days
around home taking it quiet and
not turning a hand.
You may have forgotten how
hard she has worked all these
years without a little vacation, and
although it may be within your
power to make life a little bit
sweeter to her, your desire to make
your own self happy, perhaps, has
crowded out any chance for her.
Mother may be out this very mo-
ment stewing over a hot kitchen
fire, canning fruit, looking to the
washing or other household duties,
while you are "taking life easy"
out under, or in the hammock.
Thousands of girls will permit
their mothers to slave their lives
away, taking advantage of the
/ mothers indulgence and kind
heartedness, and go week in and
week out without lending a hand
or lifting a load. How about
YOUR mother.

DUTY OF THE HOUR
The Telegraph states for party

The Telegraph states for party
unity and party integrity.
1t opposes Mr.. Smith, among
other reasons, because he allied
himself with Tom Watson and the
enemies of the Democratic party.
Mr.. Smiths strength consists in
a solid Populist vote led by Wat
son, and a minority Democratic
vote led by Hoke Smith.
The two combined is a strong
vote. The opposing candidates all
stand for party unity and party
integrity. They have not gone in,
to alliance with those who desire
two parties and prefer North Car
DINA conditions to those of Geor-
gia.
For the sake of the party, for
the preservation of its unity and
our primary system, results are
worth fighting for; and the Demo
Gratis should not divide their votes
In the counties, but elect the
strongest straight Democratic can
didate, representing Democratic
integrity, and unite on him, wheth-
er Howell, Russell, Jim Smith or
Estill. A vote for the weaker one
of the four straight Democratic
candidates is vote thrown away.
Since Mr.. Watson has made it so
manifest that his wing ofthe Hoke
Smith voters are for division-two
parties as in North Carolina it
behooVes Democrats to unite and
preserve our present system and
Democratic integrity.
AS we said the other day: If
the Democratic party is worth l1v-
ing it is worth saving, and if it is
worth saving it is worth fighting
for. If it is worth fighting for, let
Democrats get together and do
battle for it. If the Democratic
party is not worth living, nor saw
ing, nor fighting for, then let Wat
son take it and go with it. The
people must decide. Macon Tel

Two Types of biographical Writing
It is an interesting fact in the history
Of literary genres that two of the great
examples of biographical writing occur
almost side by side. Less than decade
separates the completion of JOhns0n'S
Lives of the Poets" from the publica
ton of his own life by Boswell YET
with the latter book Il new type OF
biography came into being. Johnson
in the main, had, like most Of his pred
ecessors, followed a simple narrat tive
and eXpOsitOry method, prefXing {
plain story Of the poets life to a sys
tematic account of his character and q
critical estimate of his works. He
gathered his facts and impressions to
gether and spoke for the author and fOl
himself. Boswell, on the other hand
making use of a more dramatic meth
cd, succeeded in his attempt to let the
author reveal himself and, instead OF
an exposition of character, painted q
picture of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What we
see as type of mind and character in
JohnsOn's work we see as a living man
in BoswelI.-William T. Brewster in
Forum

Wise Girl.

Now, there was a certain girl, and

BIRDS OF ILL NATURE.
The Cruelty of Swans as Displayed
Toward other Fowls.

The Cruelty of Swans as Displayed
Toward other Fowls.
The graceful swan is one Of the most
ungracious in it's ways. Not only Gin
the breeding season. does a male bird
resent the intrusion of a strange gen
tleman, but it will spend the day in
driving off from It's domain any I'M
lucky geese which might be plainly as
sumed to have no designs upon its do
nestle arrangements and have, indeed,
no desire beyond that for comfortable
wash and swim. 1t will also pursue
even the most innocent of newborn
ducklings while they unwittingly re-
joice in an early taste Of their common
element.
When an only child has passed out of
the cygnet stage of life and grown to
full physical if not mental maturity
father and mother swans have been
known to fall upon and deliberately
beat it to death with wing and beak.
The gratificd parents swan gracefully
about the mere in which they lived
while the great white corpse of their
son lay battered and dead upon the
shore. The following year, after an
other had been born to them and in in
fancy carried upon his mothers back,
they began to treat him so roughly
that, not being piniOned like them, he
wisely flew away, and we saw him no
more. Curiously enough, geese which
have experienced rudeness from swans
in the lusty spring have been known
to retaliate In the calmer autumn,
when the ferceness of their enemy had
become mitigated. l have seen a gan
der leap upon the back of a once AFRO
giant swan and pound away at it in the
full enjoyment of gratifed revenge

SIaShinG of salads

Too many people who are we'll bred
in nearly every other respect are guilty
of the solecism-to call it by the mild
est name-of cutting up their salad on
the plate. OF course salad has some
times to be reduced to lower dimen-
stons, SO to speak, but it need not be
done by the wholesale Or quite in the
busineSslike fashion practiced by
some. Grasping a knife in one hand
and a fork in the other, they slash
away at the inoffensive green stuff
with vigor and a noise Of a miniature
moving machine until the bruised
leaves are converted into shreds OF
their former selves. There is common
sense in the convention that prohibits
such course. Nearly all green salads
are broken into pieces of convenient
size before sending to the table. Even
when these are too large the leaf
should be quietly divided with a fork,

WYOMING MEN WANT WIVES.
Appeals Will Be Issued to Young
Women Of Country.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 1.-Advices re-
ceived here say that the several COM
mercisl clubs OF Big Horn county,
Wyoming, are cooperating in a
movement looking to the attraction
Of unmarried young women Of mar
riageable age to that county.
The movement was organized by
the Gray Bull Club, the leading CON-
msrcial organization Of the growing
town Of Meeteetse, which invited all
similar clubs In the county to join
and to assist in giving 1t impulse and
direction. All the other clubs accept.
ed theinvitation, with the result that
the movement bids fair to accomplish
the object for which II was organized.
These commercial clubs are trying
by an organised and systematic
movement to attract young women
to Big Horn county In order to pro-
vide wives for the unmarried men
there. The recent state census sho ws
that there are only 11S unmarried
females, as against 1862 unmarried
males Of and above the age Of 81 in
the county.
The commercial clubs OF the county
are circulating subscription papers
for the purpose OF raising a fund to
be used in advertising the wealth and
resources Of Big Horn county, and
the fact that there are not near
enough unmarried women there to
supply the bachelors with wives.
