The old traveller who wishes a new
pretext to take him over paths and by
paths in France will find ii in this very
charming book. The art-lover Will be
delighted by the clear and sympathetic
treatment of a comparatively unhack-
neyed subject. And the usual reader Will
find an attractive central theme around
which to group information concerning
some O. the most delightful localities in
France.
Mr. Sheriff. has divided his subject into
three epochs: The glass Of the thirteenth
century and earlier, of the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries and OF the six
teenth century. For the study of each
OF these periods he has outlined tours
which will include the finest examples in
France-the home of stained glass-of the
glowing pieces of color which he loves.
There is definite information concerning
all practical points necessary TO be con-
sidered in making such a pilgrimage The
author has not by any means confined
himself TO the technical aspects of his
subject He has managed to catch much
or the atmosphere of the quaint or beau
tiful scenes in which his quest is spent
and much of the history OF the ancient
catheorals and cities will be found I'm his
pages. together with the history of stained
glass processes.

apparent selfshness she is somewhat

ton of New York has put pictures and
casts in twenty schools in that city

announces that the cost of decorating a

fand that fair allowance for an average
room is 800. There are 1875 schools in

within a reasonable length Of time it has
been sugge sted that individuals might

there is no reason why New York should

CANDOR.

The Colonel had demonstrated Wig
orously with Uncle Eph about the old
darkey's persistent excursions into
the state of inebriation.
Uncle Eph, though he promised
faithfully to restrain from frequent
dips into the flowing bowl, failed to
live up to the Colonel's expectations
On numerous occasions the Colonel
saw Eph under the influence Of liquor;
but the darby, when taken to task
stoutly denied the accusation, emphat~
ieally affirming that he did not drink.
One evening the Colonel met Uncle
Eph in a condition which made it
plainly evident that the darky was
"caught with the goods on"

lance or receipt is guilty of felony punish
able by sentence of from four to ten years in

The sum total of the different feonies COM
nitted by Alexander is the number of different
receipts that he made for cotton which did not
exist
If he made only five of such receipts, and
used them to defraud, the lowest sentence
which could have been melted out to him would
have been twenty years in the penitentiary
If section 233 of the Code does not cover
the Alexander case, it is because a receipt
ceases to be receipt when it is a ware house

cases where fraud is perpetrated by the max
ing OF false paper to deceive Others and cause
them to believe it is a true paper-a paper that
is honestly what it pretends to be,
But even if Section 233 does not cover the
Alexander case, Section 243 certainly does, for
it sweeping includes "a1 other papers," If the
fraudulent receipts made by Alexander are not

Where the Blame Lies.

The New York World in attempting to place
the blame for the crushing defeat of the Demo
cratic party at the last election shoulders the
blame very properly, we think upon the lead
ers of the party in the Southern States who
knowing all along that Bryan could not be
elected, yet stood supine1y by until state after
state had instructed it's delegates for the peer
less one and hope of preventing his nomination
was groundless. AS the World points out, the
control Of the party in the eastern and north
ern states is the hands of politicians who have
not the respect of the great mass of the voters
of the party, and the responsibility for the
party's success rests in great measure on the
Democratic leaders in the South.
The hope for the party in the future, the
World says, lies in the Democratic leaders of
the South; they should select the candidate,
dictate the platform and guide its destiny.
Turn back few weeks and read some of
the editorials in the Jeffersonian
Haven't we told you all along that the South
should have some voice in the selection of
candidates?
Haven't we told you that the Southern lead
ers would let the August Belmonts, the Tom
Ryans, the Tom Tapgarts, the Charlie Muir
phys, the Pat McCarrens and the "Fingy"
Connors force any nominee upon you which
that gang wished to?
But to follow out the Worlds suggestion.

afraid.
Let the same Headers" continue to "lead,"
and in 1912 you will be in the same fix you are
today.
Then the dav after election they will tell you
how the South must exercise her independence
if she ever expects to have political prestige.
It is great crowd of editors and leaders of
whom the South can boast
The day before election they use hundreds of
pounds Of ink telling you how the country is
going to ruin if the Democratic nominee is de-
feated, and the next day after election use
like quantity in telling you how everything
would have gone to the "demnition-b ow-wows'
if the Democratic nominee had been elected
The South is a land that has known sorrows =
it is a land that has broken the ashen crust
and moistened it with its tears a land SCARED
and riven by the plowshare Of war and blow-
ed with the graves of her dead; but a land of
legend, land of song, land of hallowed and
