According to a dispatch from Rome.
the pope is an enthusiastic reader OF
newspapers and formerly contributed
many editorials TO the Vlcenza Verlco,
whose editor was a personal friend.
His holiness is busy man, but Is said
personally to read all the Roman news
papers. For the other Italian papers
he has a secretary who reads and cuts
out anything likely to interest him.
Such attention to the press indicates
strong Interest In human affairs and
the problems and events of everyday
life. 1t gives any man, no matter
how high or low his station, greater
enjoyment of life and a keener gym
pathy with humanity Only those
persons whose range Is mar

tracted affect to despise the newspap-

and Lewis A. Auspland were united IN
marriage The wedding march was played
BY Miss Lillian Spinney, an aunt OF the
bride, and the wedding party came down
the stairs and entered the parlor, which
was beautifully decorated with DAISIES,
ferns and roses in profusion. The cere-
mony was impressively performed by hev.
A. E. Luce, pastor of the Methodist Eplsco-
pal church, in handsomely decorated cor
ner which was filled in with dainty daisy
screen The bride was gowned in pretty
white lace costume and was attended by
Miss Bessie Robinson as bridesmaid. Miss
Robinson wore pretty light lowered mus
lin. The groom was attended by Clarence
Hail. After the ceremony the guests, VINO
included the family and intimate friends,
adjourned to the dining-room, where de-
)icious refreshments of ice cream and cake
were served. While the guests were pleas
anty engaged, the young couple made
hasty exit from the back door, successfully
eluding the warm reception awaiting them,
and drove to Northport, where they took
the Boston boat for Rockland, where they
are to visit his parents for short time.
The young lady's, B. H. S. 'OS classmates,
were not to be defeated in their purpose OF
giving her a rousing send-off however, and
when Mr.. and Mrs. Auspland's plans be-
came known they made strenuous effort
to reach Northport. Some went down on
the boat, others by team or on wheels All
but two of the class were present and they
succeeded in literally sprinkling both BRIDE
and groom with rice and confetti On their
return they will reside at As Church street.
The groom has made many friends during
his stay in town, where he is connected
with the telephone office, and the bride Is
talented and popular young lady they
received a large number of beautiful ana
appropriate presents. Both young people
have been active in the work Of the Aletho-
dist Episcopal church, and both have the
best wishes of an unusually large circle OF

Some of the Democratic papers had
good deal to say about Roosevelt's con-
troll of the Republican National Con-
vention; one paper denouncing his mas
tery of the situation at Chicago as ''a
rank exhibition of brutal boss power"
Now what will this paper Say of Boss
Bryan's control of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention? 4 New York pa
per says that the secret of Roosevelt's
power is that the people believe in him
and rejoice in his leadership; and it
adds this as another fact:
The master of the convention has
had the courage to resist the tempta-
ton to perpetuate his own power by a
violation of the two-term tradition es-
tablished by Washington and Jefferson;
and if he has overstepped the line OF
presidential proprieties by exerting his
influence in favor of Taft, he has at
least given his mighty support to a
man intellectually and morally fitted
for the high office.

noted here that Sam w. Small, the
Greater of "Old ST." became an evange-

The personality of the creator of
Uncle Remus was as quaint as his
writings. He was diffident to the last
degree as young man, and in later
life, and rarely could be induced to face
any kind of public gathering. Recent
pictures give him quite portly figure,
but in the early days he was not only
short of stature but slight, somewhat
stoop shouldered, with freckled face
ard reddish hair. He nursed then
the dreams of literary successes which
later became realized, the foundations
for which were laid by having access in
his youth to a we'll stocked private
library and by taste for the best OF
literature, including the Bible. His
religion he declared to be ''love for
good men and good women

1t is somewhat of surprise to
read that the condition of the new
State roads in Erie county, New
York, is deplorable; that one road
after another has gone to pieces,
others had to be resurfaced the second
year, and still others are more or less
full of holes ready to go to pieces by
another year. A correspondent of the
New York Tribune says:
The reason given for this state of
things is that the roadbed is, strictly
speaking, a canal and nothing else. A
sort of trough is cut down into the ex-
listing road, coarse stone are thrown in
to the bottom of it and finer material is
put over it, then perhaps semi-coarse
layer follows and the top is built of
something that will make an easily
travelled surface. All we'll so far, but
there is not bit of drainage provided
and what happens when the spring
rains come? Really, what can happen
but that the road, especially If on
level, fills up with water and is af1oat
or would be if the material were light
Ell. Safe to say it is light enough to
become semi liquid, and in short time
it is full of holes. That is the fact as
well as the theory, as is shown by the
discovery of places where such road
has been tapped here and there and the
water is left off.
1t would be interesting to know If
this mistake has been made in building
State roads elsewhere.

DEATH OF "UNCLE REMUS."

Many children will mourn the death
of j Del Chandler Harris, better known to
them as ''Uncle Remus," and the story
of the ''Tar Baby" in particular will
long stick in their memories. In his
negro dialect stories he struck an origi-
nal vein which brought him fame and
fortune and a permanent place in
American literature He began his
career as printers devil in country
newspaper Office in Georgia, and aftera
few, months spent in New Orleans as
private secretary of the editor and pub
Usher of The Crescent Monthly, short
lived publication started in 1866, re-
turned to his Georgia home, and later
became associate editor of the Savan-
nah Daily News, letter from the pres
ent writer, who had known him in New
Orleans, commenting him to the pub
Usher J. H. Estell. While on the News
he compiled the Georgia news in an
original way that won him repute as
paragrapher. The editor of the News
was Col. VIM. T. Thompson. author Of
"Major Jones' Courtship," etc, and a
gentleman of the old school, From
Savannah MI. Harris went to Atlanta,
succeeding Sam Small on the Atlanta
Constitution. Small had contributed
short paragraphs and sketches in
negro dialect which may be gener-
ally described as the Sayings of
Old ST." These had proved so pop
ular that the editor of The Consti-
tuition asked MI. Harris for something
along that line, and then followed
the Sayings and Doings OF Uncle
Remus''-at first paragraphs or brief
sketches, but later developing into the
stories now so widely known, and with
occasional verses. While in New
Orleans Mr.. Harris had contributed to
the daily papers number OF poems,
mostly sentimental, some of which he
reclaimed in later years. In all ne
published more than a score OF books,
nearly all in folk lore, but.two or three
novels or novelties and history OF
Georgia are included in the list. AT
the time of his death, which occurred
at his home in Atlanta, Georgia, July
