1t seems possible that fashion is
going to Danish the corset. There is
now an anti-corset crusade in Paris,
and society is vying with popular
stage beauties to be beautiful and
graceful without the aid of corsets
OF course the fashion started on
the stage. 1t is only actresses OF
established fame as beauties who
have the courage to attempt inno-
vations in grave details of modern
costume. Their practice with gar
ments of by-gone ages, before cor
sets were invented, as characters in
the plays of the classic dramatists
gave them the courage of their con-
victions-convictio that their fig
ures were by nature sufficiently per-
feet without recourse to artificial
aids.

than any other Joy in our whole
young life.
No memory is more loaded with
Joy germs than the spring crop
working. Can we ever forget the
blowing? How we neld the pillow
when we had to reach up with a
pike pole to get the handles; how
we drove the old plug team, with the
lines around our neck; how, when
the clevis broke, the mares walked
away with our frail body dragging
behind by the ears? When dark
ness came we stabbed the plugs and
went forth to milk the brindle heifer
The heifer kicked us across the barn
floor and an old COW Obligingly
kicked us back again. Then, when
the milking was over, what fun to
turn in and teach fool calf to
drink! This acting as dry nurse to
a bandy-legged calf was one OF the
most unmiXed joys of all. We tied
the calf short, set the bucket in
front of him, got astraddle of his
neck, stuck two fingers in his mouth,
and with the other hand damned
his head into the pail. And all the
time we were emptying out abuse on
calves in general and this lOp-earned
idiot in particular. This went on
until dad came in and with loving
patience horsewhipped us all about
the place.
Then, when we had carried in the
wood, brought forty gallons of water
from the spring, and eaten about
eight pounds of solid food, we went
joyfully upstairs-and came down
again Immediately to breakfast.
We often dream and wake to
weep for the days gone by when the
hay was ripe. We recall the old
swamp that always had to be cut
by hand. We recall little stones that
we rasped the edge of our blades
on. We recall the pretty snakes we
stepped on with our bare feet. We
remember it all with solemn glad
ness.

NO TICKET OF LEAVE.
Man Left With Sentence Over Head
Wins Out on Appeal.

The Georgia supreme court has
just handed down % opinions
all criminal cases, and some of them
are of general interest throughout
the state, while others involve more
or less unique features.
Probably the most important opin-
ion deals with the case of T. S.
Glover of Fitzgerald, who attacked
the constitutionality of the recent
tax in Irwin county for the sale of
whisky at $4,000 per annum. The
court affirms the decision of the
loweri court, holding the act to be
constitutional
The city of Cordele furnished a
case which Justice Lumpkin, in his
opinion, likens to the ticket of
leave SYSTEM" which was in vogue
in England years ago, but which has
long been abolished since the early
forties, when Australia refused to
receive English cOnvicts.
A. w. Gordon was convicted in
the recorders court before the may
or pro. tenn for selling whiskey, He
was fined $500 at that time, but
was given his liberty on payment of
500. 1t was provided, however,
that should his behavior, in the dis
erection of the court, warrant it he
should be again arrested and made
to serve his sentence.
Gordon's behavior did not satisfy
the recorder, so he was re-arrested.
He appealed to the supreme court,
and this body likens his treatment
to the ticket of leave system" and
holds that he is entitled to his lib
erty without further payment

"a wooden blanket" said the

It's all right"
The blanket, six feet long and five
wide, was cream colored, warm, and
passably soft-soft enough to be
rolled into a bundle without hurt.

PARIS SOCIETY WOMEN GOING UNCORsETED
The Fashion, by Stage Going Without corses
Is Becoming Will Soon Reach America.

sets were invented for two catego-
ries of women-those who have no
figure at all and those who have too
much.
Mile. Garrick, the most popular
ingenue of the French stage, de-
clares that if one goes without cor
sets the main thing is carriage. She
thinks that the woman who has been
used to the straight carriage neces-
STATED by the wearing of corsets is
much more apt to hold herself we'll
than the woman who has never worn
them. Therefore, she says: Il
should advise mothers to put their
daughters into corsets from 16 to
20, and then take them off. During
that time the figure will become
moulded without being deformed."
Another famous French actress,
Mile. Bresil, never wears corsets, but
has all her dresses boned with very
thin real whalebone for about two
inches above and below the waist
line. This keeps the gowns from
wrinkling up above the hips when
she sits down on stOops.

BOYHOOO'S HAPPY DAYS.
Why Men Dream and Wake to Weep
For Times Gone By.


Yes, sir! Boyhood's happy days,
of course. We know about that. We
haven't forgotten the joy of sleeping
in an unfinished loft i'll winter, when
our breath frOze to the bedding and
we had to thaw out with a hot fiat
iron every morning.
Morning, too! We got up at 4
a. m, pitch dark, "a below zero, and
still going down! We had to get
up, hustle out, and feed and milk
the lowing herd, curry the rear ele-
walton of the family mule, wake the
rooster up to crow, thaw out the
pump, chop four cords of wood, and
shovel away the snow to make room
for the sun to rise!
Sometimes we went to school in
the winter-not often. Only on the
days when it was too cold and stormy
to go outdoors. Then we sat on a
nice, cool board about fifty feet
away from the stove and gayly blew
at our fingers and picked icicles from
our hair. And, as we sat, we listen
ed to a wooden image with a teach
er's license as he handed us misin-
formation and permanently crippled
our intellects.
Then came the merry springtime!
Rise at 2:30 a. m. More lowing
herd! The herd lowing owing to
the supply OF fodder being low.
Then the hired man, who had hiber-
mated in the forest, came forth seek
ing whom he might make happy with
his presence. And we, being in need
of extra joy, were allowed to sleep
with this woolly hiring, who snored
like the boom of the sad sea waves.
He was a good fellow, this hired
man. He taught us to chew tobacco
and swear. These gentle pastimes
procured us more violent lickings
