De Nervals Pet Lobster.

A few days before Gerard de Nerval
was found dead in narrow, dirty
street of Paris he was seen walking
in the Palais Royal, dragging after
him by means of blue ribbon a live
lobster. To a friend who accused him
of madness he replied: why Is lob
ster any more ridiculous than a cat, or
dog. or a gazelle or any other beast
that will follow man? Besides, enjoy
the company of Holsters. They are
quiet; they are serious: they know the
secrets Of the sea; they do not bark"

 The American National Red Cross Society has been forced to the conclu- sion that the repeated calls upon the charitable people of this country, from all parts of the world. have at last exhausted the supply or at least have so modified the response that 1t amounts to practically the same thing. The case in point is the president g call for aid for the 15,000,000 flood sufferers in China The contributions received amount to about s14,000 when year ago many times that sum was Contributed upon the call of the Red Cross and without a presidential ap- peal for the famine stricken people in one Japanese province. The plain fact of the matter Is, that the appeal for aid has been overworked. It has been made on any and every oc- easion and when 1t offered t~dly for the same cause. as in the case of China. 1t is only natural that 1t should excite less interest.

 My Dear Co., -workers:-We note with pleasure Mrs. Jones' article in which she offers as a stimulus to the auxiliaries prize for the best paper written upon the Battle of Chicka- niauga and 1t Is urged upon C. of C. directors the duty to make this fact known to the children at once. and re- spond to Mrs. Jones by naming to her a suitable prize of the excellence of these papers. There have been twen- ty-three auxiliary chapters organized in our State. Scarcely one-half are well organized working bodies, not half have applied for certificates. and only a few meet regularly. We do not re- gard the importance of this work as we should, and unless the chapters warm up to the importance of in- structing the auxiliaries, we cannot ex- pect the auxiliaries to be truly loyal to the South; it cannot be instilled into them save by a knowledge of the true history of the South and her part enacted during the civil war.
 If the directors find it impossible to meet with the children. why not have a special program arranged once a | month for the auxiliaries or at stated | times. the chapters reserving interest l ing numbers for one or more of the | Children or the (OnISuct6cy- tO AiAt VI l render? This in order to bring them | into closer touch with the parent chap l ter and give them pride and emulation l At the Lee centennial exercises held | at the Deshler Institute January IS, there was such marked display of | interest and enthusiasm. during the | rendition of the entire program, com | posed of numbers suggested by Cover | nor Jelks to the schools of our State l and additional quotations. poems and eulogies given by the students as they l responded to the roll call. So il would be with the Children of the Confederacy, if only a Judicious guid- ance can be supplied them and we | must cooperate in interest of our chill dren and grandchildren in order that our places in after years will be nobly | filled.
 As a further inspiration to the chil. dren a prize of a gold medal or pir is offered to the girl or boy.
