In the dear old sunny South,
Where the sweet magnolias bloom

Where the gentle breezes blow,
There the dancing waters of
The old Tombigbee flow.

Well, the biddin' started lively, and Il

Fer every mind In Cactus on that sim

two hundred dollars net,
Just to own fer one short second that

And twas lack of ammernition that At

And thirteen Of US was hurted, but the
worst blow that we met
Was in findin' that some bullets had
gone through that toilet set.
But we plugged the punctures in it, and
we plugged the wounded, too,
And agreed we'd arbitrate it, and the
bunch ID see it through,
So we sent gift committee, but they
came back sorer yet,
Fer the teacher d futtered eastward,

CHRISTMAS NEAR THE POLE.
Where Seal Meat and Whales BIubber
Take Turkeys Place.

II think Christmas, 1888, was my
most memorable one" said General
Greedy, the artic explorer. with my
command was proceeding southwark
in the hope Of obtaining help, and
about the Goth Of October we en-
sconced ourselves in little hut at
Cape Sabine. Our supply Of food was
running very low, and we were on
very short rations, every one being al
lowed just food enough in each TWEEN
ty-four hours to sustain life. Under
these depressing circumstances and
amid the awful silence of the polar
night the cheerfulness that we contin-
ued to maintain was remarkable.
christmas day came at last-Christ-
mas in the arctic regions! At o'clock
we had our breakfast-thin soup made
of peas, carrots, blubber and potatoes.
Our Christmas dinner was served at
o'clock--first course, stew of seal
meat, onions, blubber, potatoes and
breadcrumbs; second course, served
one hour after first, stew Of raisins,
blubber and milk; dessert. cup Of
hot chocolate. One of our party had
some tobacco still left, and he very
kindly made a cigarette for each one
In our little party.
II will wager that In all Christen-
dom that day not another present was
given or received that gave such In
tense delight to the recipients as did
those little rolls Of tobacco and paper.
They were quickly aflame and being
pufred away at for dear life, and thus
my most memorable Christmas-a
Christmas near the north pole-ended

Advice is good. If it is good
land well followed, and here is a
bit clipped from an exchange
that occurs to u@ being whole
some and applicable to life's sue
cess: Fight your own battles.
Hoe your own row, Ask no fav-
,ors Of no one ard you'll succeed
:. thousand times better than one
who is always beseeching some
ones influence and patronage.
No one will ever help you az you
help yourself, for no one is as
heartily interested in your affairs.
The first step will be a long one,
perhaps, but carving your own
way up the mountain YOU will
make each step lead to ;nother,
and stand firm while you chop
another out. Men who have
made fortunes are not those who
have had $4,000 given them to
start with, but boys who have
started fair with a well-earned
dollar or two. Men. who have
acquired fame have never been
thrust into popularity by puffs,
begged or paid for. or given in
friendly spirit. They have out
stretched their own hands and
touched the public heart, Men
who win love their own wooing,
and | never knew a man to fall
as signally as one who induced
his affectlonate grandmother to
speak a word for HIM. Whether
you work for fame. for love, for
money, or for anything else,
work with your own hands and
heart and brain. Say Il WILL"
and some day you will conquer.
Never let any man have it to say, |
1 have dragged you up Too
many friends sometimes hurt a
nan more than none at all"
