gotten a white man only high praise, John
Nick Green an "@iaes~P. has been given
his freedom. Hi changed. on was endorsed
by some of the best men of the county
of Montgomery, in whose court he was
convicted December 10, 1890. Green killed
another negro named Aaron for taking
away his wife. After taking the woman
and living with her in the neighborhood
in which dwelt her husband, the despoiler
of the home beat her terribly with a
pillow line. Green hearing of the act had
Aaron arrested but he could not secure
conviction. Later he met him and in
a row that followed killed him. All the
white people of the beat practically speak
in the highest terms of Green and the
opposite of the other and petitioned Gov
error Johnston In his time to pardon
him
OF the case the governor says: "rhis

Of an element in mere secondary

NELSON OPPOSITION A FlzzLE.

There is some opposition to
Senator Nelson-it would not
speak we'll for him if be had not
made a few enemies-but even
should such popular man as
Jake Jacobson be induced to run
against him, the senior senator
need have no fear of the result
and probably does not have.
Almost every republican elect.
ed to the legislature this fall will
be bound by respect for the ex-
pressed wish of his constituents,
if not by direct pledge or pre-
nomination statement, to vote for
Nelson. Where Jacobson or any
other candidate against Nelson
is going to get his votes, we can
not see. And speaking about
Jacobson, it's a safe guess he
will keep his fingers out of the
senatorial pie.

The Plausible Lie.

We resent calumny, hypocrisy and
treachery because they harm us, not
because they are untrue. Take the de-
traction and the mischief from the un-
truth, and we are little offended by it.
Turn it into praise, and we may be
pleased with it. And yet it Is not cal
jimmy and treachery that do the lar
gest sum of mischief in the world.
They are continually crushed and are
felt only in being conquered. But it is
the glistening and softly spoken lie,
the amiable fallacy, the patriotic lie of
the historian, the provident lie Of the
politician, the Jealous lie of the parti-
san, the merciful lie of the friend and
the careless lie of each man to himself
that cast that black mystery over hui
mainly through which we thank any
man who pierces it as we would thank
one who dug we'll in desert. Hap
py that the thirst for truth remains
with us even when we have willfully
left the fountains Of it.-John Ruskin.

The Blind Historian.

William Kicking Prescott, who was
born at Salem, Mass, on the 4th Of
May, 1896, was the son of a prosper
Gus lawyer, entered Harvard college in
1911 and graduated in 1914. Early In
his college career he had his left eye
blinded by piece of bread playfully
thrown at him by fellow student, and
the other eye soon became sympathet-
ically affected. He travelled In Eng
land, France and Italy and then de-
voted himself to severe study, but it
was not till the beginning of 1926 that
he found the work Of his life within
the range Of Spanish history. Fortu-
nately his means were ample, so that
he was able to procure the services of
assistants and to live amid conditions
of comfort BY constant habit he gain
ed the! power Of carrying great deal
In his memory, and after he had reyolv-
ed the whole of a chapter in his mind
he quickly transferred it to paper by
means Of his stylus and an ingenious
writing case especially constructed for
the blind. He published his s'History Of
Ferdinand and isabella in 1889 which
carried his name across the ocean to
the old world. This was followed by
his History of the Conquest of Mexi-
co" in 1S43, and of Peru in 1S47.
These gave him a great renntation.

John D. Rockefeller. the ,

John D. Rockefeller, the unir-
terviewed, has at last spoken for
the public ear, and the only thing
he had to say Was an arraign-
ment of the government for it's
attempt to regulate the trusts,
and especially for it's forcing of
the packers to clean up and make
the meat business sanitary !:
because it injured the meat bust
ness abroad. When Mr.. Rookie
Teller returned from Europe a
month or two ago, he expressed
a wish that the public might
know him better, and he seems
to have set about suiting the
action to the word. It might be
just as well if the old gentleman
would change his mind and keep
out of the imelight. His popu-
larity doesn't grow with &C.
quaintance.

Horses and Grass,

A famous veterinary surgeon de-
clares that grass beats all the drugs in
creation as cure for sick horses and
mules. Horses should have a few
quarts of grass daily from spring until
fall, he says. The prevalent notion
that it is harmful is idiotic and cruel.
Grass to horses Is the same as fresh
vegetables and fruit to us. Their cray
ing for it proves their need of it. Yet
Ignorant, unfeeling drivers yank them
away from it as if it was poison in
stead of the life giving medicine it is,
designed by their Maker for them.
When they gnaw the bark of trees or
eat leaves it is because they crave
grass and can't get It, Millions of BUSH
els Of grass go to waste yearly by the
wayside which should be utilized for
our noble. faithful, helpless, dumb col
league, the horse, thus making him
healthy and happy. Summer visitors
who hire horses should remember these
facts and give the animals a chance to
get at the grass by the roadside once
In awhile.

Beauty of Clouds.

It is not of first sight easy to say

lance with our ingenious Instruments,
that we neglect the phenomena Of the
sky? There above us, always ours for
a lift Of the eyes, is beauty in endless
change for the contented mind and for
the restless one the challenge of the
ceaseless thaumaturgy which seems
little nearer being found out than
when the world began, and yet in COM
parison with such lines Of research as
are offered by cuckoo's eggs or the
protective devices Of caterpillars the
region Of the clouds may be said to be

THE PRESIDENT DID IT.

It is wonderful what a charge
there has been in public senti-
ment regarding simplitied spell
ing within the last month or two
or three.
Early last summer almost
everybody who reads the maya
zines and the papers knew in a
general way that Andrew Car
negie had financed a simplifed
spelling board, and that Brander
Matthews and a few other educa-
tional lights were active in the
movement for reform. Here and
there a few newspapers were
making bold to use a list of twelve
simplified words. But the great
majority Of the public was skep-
tical or Indifferent, and the re-
form promised to drag along a
slow and unpopular existence.
Suddenly the figure of a man
with shining eye glasses and a
big stick leaped into the spot
light in defense of the ''heresy,''
and the. public began to sit up
and take notice. The skeptical
and the Indifferent were quick.

Rough on the Torto1.e.

The tortoise is great sleeper. One
was a domestic pet in an English
house, and when his time for hibernat-
ing came he selected corner of the
dim coal cellar for his winter quarters
A new cook was engaged soon after
who knew nothing Of tortoises. In a
few months the tortoise woke up and
sailed forth. Screams soon broke the
kitchens calm. On entering that de-
partment the lady Of the house found
the cook gazing in awestruck wonder
and exclaiming as with unsteady hand
she pointed to the tortoise, ''My con-
science, look at the stone which I've

ST HELENA is LONELY.

The lonely islet of St. Helena is a
kingdom in little with an Indifferent
future which may be summed up in
one word, Manganese" There is q
Governor, who receives $500 year, be-
sides 600 table allowance" and has a
staff the principal officers Of which
take about $1,000 a year among them
All this human machinery is required
to secure the welfare of q population
numbering some $500 souls. In fact.
St Helena's claim as a resort for ship
ping has almost disappeared. only forty
vessels having called there last year,
while the military garrison of the
rock" has been reduced to a mere
handful. Still, the Governor continues
TO produce an annual report of over
forty octave pages. A thrilling item
from this documents the story of the
illness OF the printer and the gallant
efforts of his aG;istant, who. with the
aid of the postoffice clerk, managed to
use up thirty-nine and quarter reams
Of paper. The only bright exception"
in the lugubrious report is the fact that
some enterprising prospector from the
Cape succeeded in finding large deposits
of manganese ore, and the hope thus
engendered that company may think
II worth while to work them.-London

would have been possible to satisfy the
demand. The marked scarcity of cars
at this time of the year is all the more
disquieting, since the farmers will
shortly be drawing heavily upon all
available railway rolling stock to move
agricultural produce.
The result of this deficit in the num-
Der of cars supplied has been that In
several collieries the miners have been
compelled temporarily to stop work, a
measure which in these days of high
wages is a costly matter. more
subtle cause of the scarcity of coal is
found in the efforts of the State rail-
ways to replenish their stocks before
the approach of winter. Other large
industrial enterprises have also begun
to replenish their stocks as far as pos
sible. There is, too, the further con-
sideratio7 that at this season Of the
year the miners are not inclined to
work overtime. Wages, however, are
high, and it is anticipated that later
in the year the absence of work in
various branches of employment will
attract additional labor to the mines.
Coal mining companies returns for
the first half of the year are highly
satisfactory, Notwithstanding the in
crease in working expenses. But pros
poets for the future are not so prom
ising. For one thing, the mines have.
in the large majority of cases, already
reached the utmost limit of their pro-
ductive capacity. When the syndicate
recently revised its scheme of partici-
patton a number of collieries returned
their productive capacity at a higher
figure than could actually be achieved
in order to secure a larger share of
the general supply! 1t now turns out
that many of these cannot fulfill their
engagements, although they have not
yet reached the limit of their estimated
capacity. These collieries, moreover
have protested against any attempt to
throw open the market to competition.
with permission to the members of the
syndicate to supply as much as they
could produce. A further revision of
the syndicate's agreement seems i'm
minent, and the existence of the syn
dicate may be imperiled.
