THE SOCIAL SIDE :
The Pot of Cold.

O Over wonder in the mountainy where
 the golden glints shtue low; In the gloaming in the shadows where
 there is perpetual snow 5There in that craggy mountain Wnere
 the Rainbow seems to rest Where no foot has ever trodden and
 the eagle builds her nest. Ever since God gave the Promise as
 the years and ages rolled Swaying there in that lone chasm is
 mighty Pot of Gold!
 Ever since Gods voice gave utterance
 in those Seven Brilliant tones, It has been there slowly swaying in
 the shadows all alone Where no mortal step can reach it, no
 eye save the eagles fall. There on this mystic pot hook hung
 there on Natures Wall. In this mighty golden canldron is Q
 magnet true and bright. That draws all else towards 1t as 1t
 swings there day and night. It draws all to its glittering rim cen
 the Rainbow tints so bright See the brilliant colors fading. slowly
 fading from our sight. Feet grow tired and weary in search ot
 the gold over there As the Will O the Wisp allures them
 they are lost in the gloom Of
 despair.
 No one knows It's place of hiding OCT
 there in the after glow. But we see the wondrous Promise in
 that brilliant changing bow.

 The above remark was made by Montgomery man who has the fad. for all that is really fine, rare and beautiful and who has in his home more than a hundred old pieces of ma hogany, rosewood and walnut that he has picked up mostly in the negro 7 when the old Southern homes discard. ed 1t for the new and cheap.
 "A Baltimore manufacturer," he con- tinued. told me few days ago that log of Amarican black walnut at Bremen. Havre or Liverpool would command a higher price than ma hogany log of like size"
 Then when this man who knows. found that he had interested listeners. he continued:
 T could never understand why women win persist in calling the desire for elegant furniture a fad I appreciate the full meaning of the word fad when applied to the passing craze for cham eleons, Teddy bears or poodle dogs, but just why woman should buy rare and hand carved mahogany sideboard and her friends should refer to 1t as a fad, is as inexplicable to me as if an architect should build q home and ex- plain his use of white marble columns and bronze doors by saying that they were made to conform to a popular fad These are accepted standards of beauty and taste In decorative and constructive art. the three most beautiful and valuable woods.

POST CARD FIGHT
WITH KING PETER

BELGRADE, May A picture-postal-
card campaign Is being waged against
King Peter. There is a strong move
ment for replacing him by Prince Arthur
OF Connaught, nephew Of King Edward
VII Portraits of the prince on postal
cards are being distributed by mail
among the Servians, with the idea Of
gaining popularity for him.
The distribution of Prince Arthur's
portrait is by a secret society of King
Peters enemies. They hope to win many
adherents By this method, for the i'm
questionable Servians canot heip being
attracted by The good looks of one of
the handscmest young princes in

Whether Prince Arthur Is likely ever

strined throne Of Servia is not a tempt
