SOUTHERN HISTORY.
(The Tampa Tribune.)


Southern History" has been read with
very great interest by the Tribunes
editor, and should be placed in ev-
cry southern library, great or small
This book is the work of John Leslie
Hall, Phi. D., professor of English and
OF general history in the old college of
William and Mary, Virginia's first
great institute Of learning, the alma
mater of many of Americas most
distinguished statesmen.
Prof. Hall traces with skilled hand
the effect Of southern men actuated
by the principles that first led this
country to declare for liberty and tear
off the British yoke, upon the history
of the United States. His reasoning
is clear, his language classical and
chaste. He discloses with unanswer-
able logic the facts that demonstrated
that the south from the very beginning
of the government, throughout the
bitter struggle Of the sixties, clung
with unfinching tenacity to the grand
ideas underlying the Declaration of
independence and the Constitution of
1887.
We have not the space to give
resume of this excellent contribution
to American history. 1t should be pur-
chased and read by the present gener-
alton and placed in the hands of the
children VIII owill succeed us. And
in this connection the following ex-
Of
headed "The Homes That Made He
roes," should appeal strongly to south
ern men and is good index to the
value of the work.
The author is writing, as the chapter
heading shows, of the influences in
the early history of the south that in
stilled into the growing men and wo-
men the principles to which We have
alluded. This old southern civilZa-
tion," says he, "has never been under
stood, but has been misrepresented.
maligned, and travestied. The stage
has caricatured it, Poets have prosti-
tued their gifts to vilify it. The muse
OF history has been degraded from her
high office and made the mouthpiece
Of the traducer and the slanderer. Fic-
tion has lent her artful and seductive
aid, and books, unfair and disingenu-
Gus, if not purposely maliciOusly, have
made the southern planters name a
byword and a kissing among the ma
tions; while children in schools (note
this), where the Bible was lying on
the table as the standard of life and of
morals, have been taught, by precept
and by pictures, that planter was a
man whose daily business was to NAL
treat and lash the negro" Professor
Hall instances, in support of this, "a
textbook long used in certain schools"
and he claims that the lying state
ments of such books have "cut the
south off from the sympathy Of all
mankind"
Indeed, Professor Halls book, as a
whole, is a plea for the use Of such
books in our schools as will tell the
plain truth about the south, untainted
by the malevolent influences that
would destroy among our children the
high respect and honor they should
feel for their illustrious progenitors.

What Advertising Will Do


Specially exemplified in the case of Har-
ry Mitchell, Minneapolis Famous
Tailor.
1t would be difficult to find better
disqualification of what good and per-
sistent advertising will do for nan
with the goods back of him than the
case of Harry Mitchell, Minneapolis
popular tailor.
You will notice we said "with the
goods back of him. for there is propa-
bly, no tailor in the Twin Cities that
carries quarter of the stock that Har-
ry Mitchell does, and the fabrics being
purchased from the foremost mills of
America and Europe, the quality is alb
solutely assured.
Five years ago Mr.. Mitchell was con-
ducting tailor shop on the second
floor Of a building in Chicago, making a
specially of the finer class of work. He
had been in this business for seven
years.
He started out in Minneapolis in a
small way-growing, growing, till to-
day he is one of the largest tailors in the
United States.
| He conducts his business on a strict.
ly cash basis, and no matter who the
customer may be-banker or laborer-
the goods must be paid for when deliv-
cred. This has been very potent fac
tor in the building up of his business,
for there are no bad accounts standing
out, no collectors fees to pay, and nc
''dead beats" to write off on the wrong
side of the ledger.
| Mr.. Mitchell's work rooms, where
two hundred and forty people are EN-.
ployed, are located at Hennepin and
Fourth street: There are no better
more commodious, more sanitary tailor.
ing quarters in the world than those
provided by Harry Mitchell for his en-
ployees.
Mr.. Mitchell has always been an ad
vocate Of paying man good wages
and probably no tailor in the, country
employees such high priced cutters as he
does. He has absolutely no use for a
man unless he's postmaster at his
business, and that is one reason why
Harry Mitchell has no fear in putting
on his shingle Satisfaction or No Pay
His customers include some of the
best dressers in Minneapolis, but il
makes no difference to Mr.. Mitchell
whether the customer is banker, a
railroad president or sl5-a-week clerk
they all get the same painstakine
attention.
| His mail order business has grown SC
rapidly in the past two years that it be-
came imperative for him to enlarge his
quarters. He prides himself on his
perfect self measurment system, and
says it makes no difference where man
may live, he can,fit him just as we'll as
if he took his measure himself.
AS previous said Mr.. Mitchell is
stanch believer in publicity. He says
you can't catch fish without bait, and
he dosen't see how the public is going
to know what you've got to give them
unless you tell Minneapolis
journal.

First Antipress Law.

Under the provisions OF this law,
any one who wrote, printed. uttered
or published any false, scandalous or
malicious matter against the govern
ment, the Congress or the President
of the United States, or which tend
ed to bring them into hatred or con
tempt, could be punished by heavy
fines and imprisonment and the
statute was so worded as to penalze
not only honest criticism of the
executive, but even the free express
sion of opinion No legislation more
fatal to the popularity of Adams ad-
ministration could possibly have been
devised; but although the sole re-
sponsibility for its enactment has
frequently been charged to the Presi-
dent, 1t cannot justly he laid at his
door. His fussy, sensitive, conscien-
tious, crotchety, tactless nature had
doubtless been more stung by the
lampoons and critical attacks of the
pamphlets and newspapers than that

The Barns and Pens.

There Is every reason why we
should keep our stables, yards and
pens nice and clean so they Will be
in sanitary conditions, more espe-
cially when the weather is warm, for
in warm weather there are more bad
effects from filthy stables and yards
than when the weather is cold. But
| do not advocate the plan of letting
the stables and pens go uncleaned
for week or more at time as some
farmers do, then haul direct to the
field, but prefer to clean them all each
day, both for the comfort and health
of the stock, as well as the satisfac-
tion and pleasure of having the sta
bles look respectable. We should
also use plenty of bedding for it sure
ly pays to keep our stables well
bedded, both for the welfare of our
farms, by making more and better
manure, for with plenty of bedding
it will absorb the liquid and will get
to the field which otherwise would
be wasted.
If we run short there is nothing
that will pay better than to bry it.
There is always some neighbor far
mer that has more straw than stock,
and will sell at reasonable price to
get it out of the way. BY all means
keep the stock well bedded
The sleeping pens of our hogs
should be kept clean, and the old lit
ter should be removed and hauled to
the field and fresh bedding put in.
Never allow them to sleep in a wet,
filthy bed for that is a great loss as
they would get in an unhealthy con-
dition, NANCY and lousy. Wheat
straw is the best bedding for hogs,
as oat straw seems to be poison, es-
pecially to pigs.
1t is also very beneficial for the
health of horses, cattle and hogs to
give stalls and pens coat of white
wash, also the hen house when need
ed, and last. but not least, keep the
barn yard cleaned up.-G. B., in the

SHINING Hogs.

In Yates County, New York, says
Goodall's Farmer, the farmers have
found it more profitable to skin their
hogs than to scrape them. This
change in method was brought about
by an enterprising butcher who found
market for hog skin. He began
to skin hogs for farmers, taking the
skins for pay, as they are worth from
fifty cents TO one dollar apiece. 1t
is a paying business, and from the
standpoint of the owner of the hog
it is good thing, too. He is not re-
quired TO make any extensive prep
arations at butching time as before.
No scalding platform to build, no wa
ter TO heat, no extra help to employ.
Now the butcher drives into the yard,
kills, skins and cleans the hogs and
hangs them up ready for market.
The loss in weight is slight, from
five to fifteen pounds, according to
the size OF the hog, and the butcher
will pay one-half cent per pound
more for pork skinned to cut up on
the block, and for home use it is
much better.

What is a "Concerto?"

A concerto is symphony wherein
one instrument is given persistent
prominence; in other words, an ex-
tended instrumental solo with orches-
tral accompaniment, often taking
three-quarters of an hour to perform.
1t is the deiflcation of a single in
strument-the highest achievement
its player can attain. A concerto is
to the pianist, violinist, or 'cellist
what grand opera is to the singer. 1t
is a tone-drama in three acts-ener-
getic, tender, then climatic. There
are brief intermissions between these
three movements" and during these
pauses the player receives applause
like 'star"-bowing and smiling
until again the baton raises, the Or
chestra starts in. and the perform
ance goes on.-May Circle.

Worlds Best Timekeeper.

Forester In 1865. 1t was inclosed in
an alright glass cylinder, and has
frequently run for periods of two or
three months with an average daily
deviation of only $4,000 of a second.
Yet astronomers are not satisfied
even with this, and efforts are made

Dairy Facts.

Z. X. Slater, Dairy and Food Com
missioner of Minnesota, lays down
three propositions drawn from his OBJ
servation of the dairy farmers of that
State.
Cold fact No. l. The dairy farm
ers of this county who do not take
and read dairy and farm literature
are the most unsuccessful in the busi-
ness.
Cold fact No. 2. The dairy farmer
who does not make a study of his
business and the performance of his
individual cows has always failed.
Cold fact No. 8. The reverse of
these is true. The dairy farmer who
reads dairy and farm literature and
takes an interest in his business will
succeed every time.

A Good Calf-Rearing Mixture.

The following is one OF the most
successful of homemade calf rear
ing mixtures when used along with
a little linseed cake: Two parts,
by weight, of oatmeal; two parts of
cornmeal; one part of pure ground
Gaxseed.
These meals should be finely
ground. 1t is prepared for use by
boiling with water, or by scalding
with boiling water, and allowing it
to stand for twelve hours. The calf
rearer is recommended to begin with
quarter of pound per head daily
for calves month old, new milk be-
ing fed the first month. The allow
ance may then be increased to half
pound and more a day, as the calves
become older; and the meal may be
supplemented profitably by half a
pound to one pound of pure linseed
cake per head daily.-W. X. Gilbert,
in the American Cultivator.
