AS the Shady Grove writer wanted to
know something about Foster Layne
and his best girl, will say that l do not
know who his best girl is. He played

/ noticed in the News that Uncle
Gid gave us good letter on what the

know that God, our father, made the
earth and it pleased Him, and then He
made man and he was pleased with
him, but afterward He repented of il
because man didn't do to please Him.
We realize that there is plenty of land
tina ever poor man might have a
home, but we see that the rich have
got it under their control. Companies
have got thousands of acres of land
that they do not pay taxes on and why
is it considered theirs? We realize
that we won't get justice in the laws
of the land, but we can get it in the
laws of our God. We know that Goo
is firm and gives rest to them that seel
His words and live as He wants then
to live. We know that no man car
please God and Cypress the poor, bu
we see it is done Whether they please
God or not, they don't care.

HOPE.

When the skies are dark with threat,
ening clouds.
And the thunder is loudly roaring,
When the tempest is raging at its full
est height,
And the rain in torrents is pouring
There is always a light behind each
cloud
Each one has a silver lining
And though we may not see the sun
Behind the sun it is shining
And though the day is dark and drear,
And the sad storm clouds are filling,
Where not one leaf on the trees is stir
red,
And the air is dense and chilling;
Where the birds are whispering on the
trees
And telling each other of sorrow-
Do they know that the sun which to
day is so dark
May be shining bright tomorrow
Just so with our hopes and all our
thoughts.
When the suns rays are brightly
burning,
Do we know that our hearts, so light
today,
Tomorrow may be turning2
Or when our sky of life is dark
And clouds are Ger it flying,
Tomorrow may be bright and glad,
Where the clouds were lately lying.

A WOMAN ARTIST PHOTOGRAPHER.

Whatever may be the final attitude
Of woman toward the subject of work
ing for self-support, pure and simple,
there is no doubt about the spontanei-
ty with which she embraces all forms
of artistic labor for the pure JOY of the
working. One of these artistic pur-
suits which promises TO satisfy both
the financial and pleasurable requisites
as a form of self support for women is
photography. An article in the Feb
ruary New Idea Womans Magazine
describes the success in this line OF
Miss Katherine E. Mcclellan. Her
ideas concerning the adoption of the
work are worth quoting:
Photography, Miss Mcclellan says, is
pursuit for which women are partic-
ularly suited, because of their tact and
discretion She has many. letters from
girls and young women who want to
know how to learn to be photograph
er. She finds it difficult to give ad-
vice. To be a success, she says one
must first have a feeling for form,
composition and light and shade, that
come only after years of study of great
masterpieces and actual attempts at
various forms of creative art. She
traces her success, not to practice in
using the camera or learning the rout-
inc of the work from to 2, as she did
in her early days but to the years of
preparation which her miscellaneous
education afforded.
After one has once acquired this feel
ing, a place as apprentice may be
found she suggests, in some big estab
lishment in large city Here 1T is
possible to learn all the detail work
from printing and developing to pos
ing and operating the camera. Here
one may learn the difference between
good plates and bad, paper that merely
looks we'll and that which is perman'
emit One may learn mounting and
framing, in fact every detail, in less
time than it has taken Miss Mcclellan,
who has worked out every step by hel
self. So that now she could take vi
the work of any one of her assistants,
were it necessary, or take single por
trait and direct the whole process from
posing the sitter, to printing, mount
ing and framing the picture.

SOLDIER BOY.

New Jersey City where did dwell,
The soldier boy l loved so well,
He courted me my heart away,
And now with me he will not stay.
"There is girl in this same town,
Where my love goes and sits down;
He takes a strange girl on his knee,
And tells to her what he won't tell me
But this is the reason IN tell youwhy
She has more gold and silver than I,
Her gold may scatter and her silver
may fly,
And hope some day she will be as
poor as l.
"Oh, daughter dear, what troubles you
so,
You seem so quiet and strange to me, "
"Oh, mama, can't You plainly see
How cruel he has treated me- -
Now, give me a chair and I'll sit down,
A pen and ink and L II write it down.
At the end of every line she drops a
tear,
Calling back her Johnny, dear
She went up stairs her bed to make,
But said nothing for her mother sake.
Night came on, her father came home
He wondered where his daughter
gone.
He went up stairs, the door he br@ ~
He found her swinging to rope.
Now, give me knife and I'll cut hel
down"
And on her bosom these words HI
found:
go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and
feet,
And on my breast turtle dove
To show this world | died for love. "

MINERS LIFE GUARD.

Miners life is like sailors
Board ship to cross the wave;
Every day his life's in danger,
Still he ventures being brave.
Watch the rocks they're daily falling.
Careles miners always fail.
Keep your hand upon the dollar,
And your eyes upon the scale.
Chorus :-Union miners, stand together,
Heed no operators tale,
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your eyes upon the scale
Soon this trouble will be ended;
Union men will have their rights
After many years of bondage,
Digging days and digging nights.
Then by honest weight we labor,
Union workmen never fail
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your eyes upon the scale.
Let no union man be weakened
By a newspapers false reports,
Be like sailors on the ocean
Trusting in their safe life boats.
Let your life boat be Jehovah.
Those who trust Him never fail.
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your eyes upon the scale,
You've been locked and locked, my
boys.
You've been loading two for one.
What have you TO show for working
Since this mining has begun?
Overalls and cans for rockers
In your shanty sleep on rails.
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And your eyes upon the scale.
In conclusion bear in memory,
Keep the pass word in our mind
God provides for every nation
When in union they're combined.
Stand like men and link together,
Victory for You will prevail.
Keep your hand upon the dollar
And YOUR eyes upon the scale.

A Hopeless Candidacy.

The tcne of the Southern press indi-
Gates the realization by The Democratic
leaders in that section of the hopeless
ness Of Mr.. Bryan; perennial can
didacy. The Richmond Times Despatch
declares that he cannot be elected, BIZ;
sadly admits the probability of his nom
nation. That stalwart old eX-
pOnent of Southern Democracy, the
Charleston News and Courier puts j;
even stronger. II says:
eve do not believe he could defeat
anybody, and his nomination would
he equivalent to another Demo-
cratic defeat. AS there appears TO
be no other way Of getting rid of
Mr.. Bryan. probably it would lie
just as well for the party to nomi-
late him. Their" appears to he 10
other way out of the utterly hope
less condition in which the party has
been placed by his brilliant but alb
solutcly impossible leadership. If
he should be nominated, however,
the party should insist that he
would agree not to try it again in
any circumstances"
This expression may be taken as fair
~ volcing The sentiment of that sec
ton of the country which gave the
Dem"cr attic party all it's electoral votes
in the last national election, and which
alone can be expected to give it any il
the next one. It is evident that The
leadership Of the Nebraska statesman
whose Cwn state went strongly Rcpub-
lican i'll the recent election is not one
to inspire confidence among the mem
bers OF his party even in that part OF
The South where his party is now in the
ascondcncy, and yet the indications arc
that in the absence of any other strong
aSpIrant for the nomination it will ne
accorded him with little if any oppo-
sition.
