While we were fostering slavery,

One of the most noticeable condi.
tlons, either as result or cause on
the part OF the South, is an absence
of legislation in the interest of the

You don't have to tell me that. But. as
long as you're so liberal and free-handed
with your suggestions. permit me to
nudge a little suggestion along your way:
You make the mistake of your bright
young life in swaddling yourself In all
that heavy stuff two or three months be-
fore Jack Frost swings along and leaves
little white stuff on the tops Of the

of peace under this roof. to your dictation
about this underwear matter, but I'm all

time comes for me to switch my summer

pulously kept out Of Jail and all like that.
Went around lot that inquiry did. but
no satisfactory reply was made in any
quarter. Nor has any series of father
songs yet made it's appearance.
The fact remains. however. that the
everyday man in the equation certainly
has got something a-coming to him. The
world In general may not regard him as
a sentimental figure, probably because he
himself is too busy getting by and MAX
ing living for himself and his family
to minsle much with sentimental affairs.
and probably again because. no matter
how replete with wholesome sentiment he
may be down beneath the pelt of him. he
doesn't wear his sentiment on the out
side, like tunic or fancy waistcoat.
Fact is. mighty little attention is paid
to the everyday man. His good points are
all taken for granted. His struggles. his

Troubles at home are just as much up
to him for solution and repair as they
are up to the mother-more up to him,
as a matter Of fact, in a heap of cases.
because his end of 1t Is to go out and
dig and work and hold his head UP and
look men in the eye while the troubles
at home are going on. while the mother
may sit at home and mourn over the
troubles. Any kind Of bother bearing on
and appertaining to the young 'uns hits
him just as hard as 1t does the mother.
and he's obliged to keep on with the
dreary old routine. while the homo trou-
bles are carking and cankering him and
making him feel as If. after all. the old
fight isn't worth while.
But that's what he's here for, isn't It?
What's the use OF giving him any credit

If the boy at home turns out to be a
bully or a coward or q near-crook or
something of that sort. 1t comes homo
to the old man just as keenly as IL does
to the mother. doesn't it? If the girl
at home gives forth symptoms that she
leans to the side of a certain fighti-
ness, that leaning presses just as heav-
lily on the old man as 1t does upon the
girls mother. doesn't It? But in such
cases the mother alone is depicted as
being in a state of ruefulness and sor-
row. The old man. pounding away at
his task. is overlooked. Nothing is sup
posed to affect him. He Is regarded as
q sort Of a machine, an automaton de-
signed by Providence solely to fetch the
wherewith home. When he's done that,
