 Our women in the war" these words Fall strangely on the ear Is there a land in whose defence Its women must appear? Proclaim the women of such land And now propose to rear A true memorial to that type Which Southern hearts hold dear. These women looking forth, beheld That pruning hooks were swords. At once they formed a league, whose
 side
 Was unit in deeds not words. They, and these men who fought for
 them
 Stood fast against the hordes Whose. right was might. stood fast Against most fearful odds. "Our women in the wars" they lacked For neither strength or nerve Lacking for much. they held them-
 selves
 An army in reserve. An army strong in Faith and Hope, And courage to preserve The standards of the fathers for The sons who Should deserve. +. The Southern Women's fort was home, From whence a tide of love, And help and comfort of all kinds Forever seemed to move. Onward to those who far and near Heroically strove For the heritage the Fathers in The Constitution wove. ''Oor women in the war'-this rings With an incongruous sound Yet when all truth shall stand revealed There surely will be found Some loyal woman's heart beneath Each Southern soldiers mound And every heart so hid, concealed, The scar of deadly wounds.

Above all his other and numerous virtues Theodore Roosevelt has a rep utation for courage-fneata1. moral. physical. civic and military. He has been suspected of it. he has been charged with 1t; he has even admitted Time and place are important. He fled like craven before the mere threat of the "stand-patters,'ss and if he has stopped running yet n6body has heard of it. Like a plumed Knight as Bob Ingersoll would say, he marched down the halls of civic virtue and threw his shining lance full and fair against the brazen brow of monopoly, but where Is the dead monopoly to show for it? Where is his crippled monopoly to evidence 1t? Are not all of them doing business in the same old way and at the same old stand? To be sure they are. Of course, no one questions Roosevelt's physical intrepid ity.

I hope they have, for, in my humble opinion, the whole thing was jumped up to take the minds of the people off the Presidents abject and craven surrender to the stand patters. Henry A. Wise, in that match less stump speech at Alexandria, asked the question: How do they propose to break up the country?" Then he answered it, why, by raising hell about the Pope" That was in Know Nothing times-1S55. It looks to me marvelously like this entire railroad rate business was got up to take the public mind off something else, and I am sure the tariff robs the people, every twentyfour hours, of more than the railroads rob them of in twenty Tour days, as l have tried to say be- fore, and l am sure the railroads rob them every day of not a little. And while I am on this subject I will say there never was any real difficulty about the rate: 1t is the rebate, the breaking of rates; in other words, the competition, where the devilment comes

Some Curios and oddities.

 'SThe bible revised into a novel-that Is the book have here," said a co1lec- tor. And 1t Is a work not of mockery but of piety; the work of a French priest, Pere Berruger. Nevertheless, 1t Is a failure" He turned the pages smiling. Then he read. first from the old-fashioned ized form, a part of the book of Chron- icles. It began:
 And Solomon determined to build a house for the name of the Lord and a house for his kingdom.
 And Solomon told out threescore and 10000 men to bear burdens and four score thousand to hew in. the mountain and 5000 to oversee them"
 This passage in the Berruger novel ran;
 "'scribe. take thy tables,' said the king.
 He sat in a golden room upon a throne of black marble and pearl. His robe was Of violet. and orrls and sam dalwood perfumed his beard and his hair powdered with gold dust.
 The slim scribe knelt, his stylus poised.
 "'Write,' said the king, "a message unto Huram, king of Tyre, and say that will build a temple and that 200, ,O00 men are already at work and that I desire of him cedars from his forests
 He paused His glowing eyes saw in the air the rich temple that he wotsld erect. A pale and beautiful slave from the north came to him timidly Her jeweled anklets clanked and she ex tended to the king a gold cup of red wine cooled with snow. He drank and resumed:
 Say to Huram of Tyre that de- sire man cunning to work in gold and in silver and in brass and In iron and In purple and crimson and blue.'"
 The collector closed the noveIized bi ble and laughed.
 Tt has no litebary and no religious value, he said but as a curio if is good thing and rare thing. It is prooaoiy the only edition of Berrugers novelized bible In America" You call yourself a good provider" '" said the honey dealer as he put nound comb in the mans big market basket
