The following is a school boys essay
on girls:
Girls is sisters of boys and has long
hare, wares dresses an powder. Fust
girl was called Chrismuss Eve, though
l never could tell why. Most every
family has one girl, and some of EN-
that is in hard luck has two or three.
We have girl in ourn who is my sis
ter. Girls can grow older and get
younger. My sister has been % for
three years, and some day we may be
twins. Girls play the pianuer and talk
about each other Fat girls want to be
thin, and thin girls want to be fat, and
all of 'em want to be doods. Why the
Lord nude girls nobody noes, but |

Nashville American Bureau,
Washington, Jan. 90 Postmaster
General Cortelyou, as chairman of the
republican national committee, will
leave the Evans rownlow factions to
fight out their own differences. That,
whatever may be Mr.. Cortelyou's pri-
yate opinion of the present aspect of
the situation, the American correspon-
dent today has it from authority not to
be doubted, is the attitude the post
master general intends to pursue with
respect to the choice of republican
candidate for governor. Nevertheless
it is understood that messenger from
the Evans people has conferred with
the postmaster general and has receiv-
ed from him assurances of sympathy
with their position. Representative
Brownlow, meanwhile, serenely pur.
sues his original course. The First
district congressman was at the post
office department today, but did not
call upon the postmaster-general.
Notwithstanding Postmaster General
Cortelyou is diffident about discussing
the Tennessee situation for publication
it is known that it was subject of
consideration at today's cabinet meet
ing. 1t is the understanding among
newspaper habitues of the white house
executive Office that President Roose-
welt is decidedly inclined to favor the
nomination of H. Clay Evans, who I'M
doubtedly stands we'll with the admin
istration, to say nothing of the fact
that the president believes he was
elected when he was candidate
against Peter Turney.

The False HallOO,

Reports from Washington concern
ing the affairs of Tennessee republicans
are full of talk about disciplining Wal
ter P Brownlow, the biggest repubh-
can boss in the south. All through
these reports run the names of Cortel-
you, Brownlow, Evans, Wright and
John Cox.
Tennessee democrats naturally want
to know what Gov. Cox's name is doing
amid this bunch of republicans. Why
should be, who is asking democrats for
honors, be so bound and wound about
the affairs of this party? What has
Cox got to do with Brownlow's schemes
and why should the republican bosses
continue to drag his name into things
with which good democrats are sup
posed to have no connection?
The main feature of the republicans
accusation against Browniow is that he
is serving the cause of Gov. Cox in
Tennessee by insisting upon the nomi-
nation of Wright for governor by the
republicans. Brownlow declares he
knows what he is doing, and that he
has the interest of the republican par
ty at heart by putting up weak man
instead of strong one, in the event
the democrats nominate Cox. Other
republican leaders haven't yet seen the
light shining for Brownlow. They
want Evans nominated because he is
the strongest republican in the state;
but Brownlow stands pat on Wright, il
Cox is the democratic nominee, and in
sists that all's welt with republicanism
in this state.
Now what does this mean? We know
that Gov. Cox has received political
support from individual Republicans Of
East Tennessee. We know he has been
returned to the legislature over repub
licans from one of the republican
strongholds. We know, too, that the
republican counties in East Tennessee
under the control of Brownlow, quickly
gave their Endorsement to Gov. Cox
and we know that republican leaders
in Washington are mounting his name
even as they utter the names of Ten
nessee's most stalwart republicans.
All this is something for Tennessee
democrats to reflect upon, especial,
when the governors organs through
out the state made vicious but veal
attempt to impugn the democracy O

REFRIGERATOR RULES.

Use clean, fat dishes to hold what
ever is on the lower shelves.
Buy your ice in pieces as large as
can be accommodated This is much
more economical than to buy small
ones.
Be careful not to fill dishes too full
so that they will spill over. If any
thing is spilled, don't fail to wipe it up
Immediately.
Pack the ice well together and do
not wrap it in paper or cloths; instead,
keep the door of the ice chamber shut
as much as possible.
Do not put food of any sort directly
on the ice. If 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to place it near the ice, see that it
is In glass or porcelain.
Empty the refrigerator at least once
a week; scrub the interior thoroughly,
then scald the ice chamber and drain
pipe with boiling water in which a
lump Of soda has been dissolved; fol-
low this with clear boiling water; wipe
dry and let it air for twenty minutes.

How the Scandinavian Dramatist
Impressed an Observer.
William Archer tells how Henrik Ib-
sen impressed him when he met the
Scandinavian dramatist In Rome in
1881: I'm glided an understood man
with very broad shoulders and a large
leonine head, wearing a long black
frock coat with very broad lapels, on
one of which a knot of red ribbon was
conspicuous. l knew him at once, but
was little taken aback by his low
stature. His natural height was even
somewhat diminished by a habit Of
bending forward slightly from the
waist, begotten, no doubt, of short
sightedness and the need to peer into
things.
He moved very slowly and noise
lessly, with his hands behind his back
an unobtrusive personality. But
there was nothing Insignificant about
the high and massive forehead, crown
ed with name of chem iron gray
hair, the small and pale but piercing
eyes behind the gold trimmed specta-
cles, or the thin Tipped mouth, depress-
ed at the corners into a curve indica-
tive of iron will and set between bushy
whiskers of the same dark gray as the
hair.

Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.

The French philosopher NJ. LIE Bon,
commenting on the motto of the revo-
luton, Liberty, Equality and Frater-
nifty" declared that the real difference
between the French and the British lay
in the fact that the French were enam-
ored of equality and cared little for
liberty, while the British insisted on
liberty and never gave a thought to
equality. And when some one quoted
this to Rudyard Kipling he instantly
added his own comment to the effect
that what the American really pre-
ferred was fraternity. HE is a good
fellow himself, and he expects you to
be one"
