In the Loom.

(Thomas Wood Stevens in Appleton's
Magazine.)
l am not yet what Fate intends; for
Fate,
Who flung me singing in the loom
Of chance,
Still dogs my course with ever
watchful glance.
And where the ripping shuttles weave
the state,
Still follows up my Maynard thread;
how great,
How small, my share in this the
shuttles dance
1 know not, nor may know what
power implants
The trailing wool, unseen, inviolate.
The warp was strung when this our
world uprose
& From toiling chaos in the morn of
life,
And in the final night when doom
descends
The starry fabric shall be knotted
close;
And we shall know what pattern
Fate intends
When all the weary shuttles cease
from strife.

PROHIBITION IN THE SOUTH.

Prohibition legislation is growing
rapidly in the south more as an
expedient than as principle. The
south has never been noted for Its
abstemiousness. Still Texas and
Georgia and other of the southern
states have enacted rigid laws regulat
ing and to large degree prohibiting
the sale of liquor
In the south the liquor question and
the race problem touch elbows. A
drunken negro fired by booze is ready
for any crime and to class ten-cent
piece in the till covers a multitude of
possibilities of murder. The Atlanta
riots were fed on poor whisky as the
crimes that melted them were kindled
by niger rum and barrel house liquor.
The reason for prohibition In the south
is the negro and to a lesser degree the
.spo white trash" which approxlmates
the conditions and moral attitude of
the negroes.
How the law will be enforced as re-
CARDS the leading classes of whites Is
easy to Imagine. That a serious at
tempt will be made to render it eff
fective as regards the blacks and poor
whites, there is no manner of doubt
The cultured whiteman of the south
however, will not lack his julep.
