Uncle Remus's -The Home Maya
zine for June.

From the piquant cover design by e.
D. Williams to the last contribution,
which happens to be poem by Don
Marquis called "Waiting for the Train"
Uncle Remus s-The Home Magazine for
June is delightful. There is an atInos-
phere of the South about it, a flavor
that is somehow different. The June
number marks the beginning Of the sec
ond year for the periodical, and judging
from the amount OF advertisingi it carries,
the success OF the venture seems assured.
A striking feature of the number is an
article by j. Slaughter Carter on ''Night-
Rider Against Trust" 1t is perhaps the
most complete account of the trouble in
the Kentucky tobacco region that has
yet been published.
Another article OF general interest is
"Emma SAMSON; Heroine" by Marie
Bankhead Owen, in which is told the
story of the little red-headed girl who
got up behind Forrest in the saddle and
guided the Confederate cavalry leader
to the ''lost ford' of the Chattooga river,
enabling him to gain three hours time
and to capture Streight's raiders.
Joel Chandler Harris is represented by
an editorial on knowing Your Neigh

WANTS COLOR In RELIGION
Writer in The Independent Pleads for
the comminglng Of Splendor
and Sanctlty.

Far be it from us to disparags
color and show. We believe in the
simple life, but not too simple. We
want sauces with our meat, sirur
with our buckwheat cakes, laces on
our gowns and frills on our rhetoric.
They are for ornament, not for use,
and we all like ornament. Cardinal
Logue feels no more spiritual for hiO
scarlet, but he knows that it i'm
presses others, if it does not impress
him. We are not wholly spiritual,
not all of US, and the splendor Of
chromatics is meant legitimately to
affect with admiration and respect
the less spiritual, or, perhaps, the
less intellectual among US, and it has
a great influence. We find it very
difficult to live up-or down-to the
utter bare simplicity of Galilee. By
nature we are more priest than
prophet. The gospels do not tell US
the color of the seamless robe divided
between the soldiers. We think it
was blue, and that it was not en-
broidered. We are not as artless as
were the disciples who followed Je-
sus. We know more; we have more
taste. Some long ago contrasted the
golden priests and wooden chalices
and wooden priests of his own time !;
can we not now have both of gold?
Can we not claim both splendor and
sanctity? So let PauPs cloak, left
at Troas, be all broidered over with
gold and send it to him, but don't
forget the parchments.-The indie
pendent.

In small city like this the vice
of rash judgement is altogether too
common. Where people know
nearly all their fellow eli izens
there are some who are so I'M
gracious and so un-Christian as to
attribute an evil motive when the
actions are prompted by the best
of motives, and they are rather
disposed to relish rumor that re-
fleets against neighbQr. Every
body commits indiscretions, either
wilfully or through ignorance or
weakness; but harsh criticism and
rash judgements do not help the
offender, but shove him down.

One hour a day withdrawn from

ARE ALL OF ROYAL LINEAGE
Isles May Properly Lay
Claim to Throne.

It is said that in the United King
dom of Great Britain and Ireland,
there are living to-day no less than
10000 persons of royal lineage, of
whom 1000 or 5000 have by right
of descent better title to the throne
than has King Edward.
Unfortunately for them, however,
and for the 1000 or 5000 others
living abroad, they are barred from
putting in a claim by the act of
settlement of 1901, which fixed the
succession on the descendants of So
phia of Hanover, granddaughter of
James ].
One genealogist has carefully
traced all the descendants of Edward
", Henry VII. of England, and
James III. of Scotland, down to
kings, mobiles and commoners of to-
day. This authority finds almost
every Christian monarch of Europe
among them, many of the European
nobility and a great host of Smiths,
Browns and Joneses. The pedigree
of every one of them is presented,
and each is placed in the order in
which he would by right of birth re-
.ceive the crown.
The name of Princess Louise Of
Bavaria stands first among them,
but even the duke of Devonshire,
who is numbered 1868, is ahead of
King Edward. He is descendant
of Her-y VII. in the sixteenth gen.
Grafton, through Mary Tudor.
AS there are nearly $4,000 per-
sons altogether listed by the author
ity quoted, and as each one of them
is shown to be descended from a
king, the author should have little
difficulty in selling at least $4,000
copies without even calling on the
friends of candidates"

away by some of our young men
and women in their desire for fun
and diversion.

Every little country village has
an ambition to become a trade cen
ter and boom city, with no
special natural features or geo.
graphical advantages. Under such
conditions what is most needed is
some enterprise on the part of its
local capitalists. They must make
the first advance in the uncertain
field of development. They must
capitalize small factories and see
that they are kept employed.
When the local business is finally
developed and proves to the world
that they are successful, then out
side enterprises will be sure to
step in and enjoy your prosperity
with you. Just like fellow who
finds favorite fishing hole and
catches fish, and all the other fish
ermen who see that he is catching
will drop their hooks right by the
side of the lucky fisherman. The
business men of any town should
stop talking and hoping for others
to do something for the town.
They should get together them
selves and prove to the. world that
they have money making town.
No outsider will want to fish in
our swimming pond until we prove
that they can catch fish.

WIT WON THE DAY.

A prosperous saloon keeper down.
town tells with great enjoyment of
his struggle to get naturalization
papers after his arrival in this city
from Ireland. He had studied up,
on the suggestion of a relative who
had preceded him in gaining citizen
ship, and when the judge asked him
who would succeed the president in
the event of the death of the chief
executive he promptly answered !:
"The vice-president, sir" Then the
judge asked: 'In case of the demise
at the same time of both president
and vice-president, upon whom
would fall the duties of office ?"
This was further than the applicant
had delyed and he shook his head.
Thinking his language had not been
understood, the judge impatiently
asked: ''Who would get the job ?"
With broad grin the Irishman
promptly answered: 'FWho else but
the undertaken, sir?" Even the
judge had to smile as he said, curt
ly: application granted" -Phila-

The roads to greatness are still
open. The avenues to human
preferment have never closed; no
obstruction is there today that has
not always existed. But not all
those who seem to reach the sum-
nit may be considered truly great.
All greatness that lacks the ele-
ment of greatness must be false.
The man who rides over the just
rights of others in order to secure
his own advancement, is lacking
in all that constitutes true great
ness. Wisdom, zeal, courage,
perseverance, and knowledge, are
some of the traits of character
that push one to the front. But
above all things it takes industry
to make advancement. We must
begin young. Time must not be
wasted; it is too precious to those
who expect to succeed. Idleness
must not be tolerated. The mer
who reach notoriety are busy men

THE FIRST AMERICAN GLASS.

The first American glass factory

N. Fl. Washington, in his diary,
speaks of glass being made in New
Haven, Conn.,, in the year 1889. One
would suppose by the language he
uses that he considers it a new and
quite extraordinary affair. It was
nine years previous to this, and dur
ing the very war whose issue first
enabled the country to commence its
own manufacturing, that Robert
Hewes of Boston began tn carry out
the project which he had long con-
ceived, but had hitherto found I'M
practicable, if not impossible, under

SNAKE OPAL LUCKY.

A "snake opal" must be an iqval.
liable possession. 1t is the '1ucky
stone' of the Mojave Indians, who
say it frightens away bad luck, The
stone is not beautiful, but might ap-
peal to those who like gems" that
are different" 1t is said that the
Indians never allow these stones to
leave the tribe if they can help it,
and will not part with one for any
consideration. Tradition has made
the stone one of good omen, but that
counts for little, as tradition is gen.
orally hooted at in the present day,
and wherever it raises it's head other
stones than snake opals are SHE'D
at it. Perhaps some superstitious
bridge player, however, will try to
get hold of snake opal and try it's
efficacy.

man; she needs some one who can
give her an unlimited dress allow
ance and a maid to look after her.
There is another point. If it is
too much trouble to take care of her
clothes before, it will be too much
trouble to take care Of her house
keeping stores after marriage, with
the result that large part of them
will be wasted.
