GEORGIA PHILOSOPHY.

Singing the song of good times often scares trouble from the door.
 One way to prove that there's life in the old land is to go to work and dig for 1t.

A STUDY in Green.

He got off the Pullman, lit a per.
fumed cigarette and began to walk the
platform. He was a tall young man,
and little too thin in the legs for his
height, but his shoulders were wide
enough his tailor had seen to that.
AS he swung along the platform
with a studied stride imported from
Pail Mall. he was picture for a cloth
ier's artist. His cap was green, not a
vivid green, but subdued sort of au-
tumn green. His clothes matched his
cap. His green trousers were rolled
up displaying d pair of billiard-table-
green silk socks. There were green
laces in his shoes, and his necktie was
green, with green stickpin in it, and
on the hand with which he carried his
perfumisator SO gracefully was a
large green set ring.
He was beauty, all right. The
only thing we would have changed
about him was the self-conscious look
on his proud young face. AS the con-

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
Benjamin Franklin.
ny ). Fl. ".

<O improve his style as a writer
Benjamin Franklin as a boy
read passages from Addison's
Spectator, then two or three
days later tried to reproduce them.
He was careful not to memorize the
language, but only fixed the thought
In his mind, then by comparing his
own language with the original was
enabled to discover the defects In his
style.
To improve his conduct Franklin
made out a list of the cardinal virtues,
then marked down any ~lnfraction Of
them during each day. He also adopt
ed early in life a set of simple rules
for his guidance.
In youth Franklin happened to read
Xenophon's description of the Soeratic
method, and it made a lasting impress
sion on his mind. He decided to drop
the dogmatic way of making state
ments and to follow the plan of the
wise old Athenian. To this habit of
asking questions and making sugges-
tive and tentative statements rather
than being self assertive and positive
Franklin ascrlbed much of his later
success as a writer and diplomat.
He ran away from Boston while a
mere stripping, yet before he left he
had read every book on which he could
lay his hands. He even went without
his lunches with the twofold object of
having more time In which to read and
of having more money to spend for
books.
Franklin's first notable success was
with Poor Richards Almanac" the
quaint and wise sayings In which at
tained immediate and worldwide pop
ularity and were translated into almost
every known tongue.
In Franklin's electrical experiments,
especially the famous n with the kite,
he endangered his life, yet so intent
was he on discovering the truth that
he seemed utterly Indifferent to per-
sonal peril.
Franklln's moral courage was shown
nowhere more than In his treatment Of
his illegitimate son, William. He took
the boy to live In his own home and
introduced him everywhere as his son,
both In America and Europe.

Thomas Jefferson.
LfsrsOn's grsafesf
power was his opfi-
mistie faith in the
common people.
~HOMAs JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat of his era, was
of rather %aristocratic parentage
BY }. a. EDcERroM.

~HOMAS JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat of his era, was
Of rather aristocratic ~parentage
and had the advantage Of a lib
eral education. He was peculiarly,
considering his time and surroundings,
OF the type Of the scholar In politics.
That he should have been this and yet
the foremost American radical of his
day marks him Is an odd combination
In our history. The turning point in
his career was his appointment to draft
the Declaration Of Independence. This
came about from a double cause-Jef-
ferson's reputation as a writer Of polit-
ical documents and the jealousy felt
by certain members Of congress toward
Richard Henry Lee, who had intro
duced the independence resolution.
Volumes have been written to disprove
Jeferson's authorship of the Declare
ton, and a widespread belief has per-
sisted even to the present that most
OF 1t, If not all. was really written by
Thomas Paine. However that may
have been, the fact that Jefferson was
appointed to prepare the document, the
consequent inference that 1t was bis
work and the reputation resultant
therefrom operated powerfully to make
him a political leader. In addition to
this, the unquestioned products of his
pen, breathing the spirit of advanced
democracy and the doctrines OF the
French revolution, tended to place him
at the head Of the growing democratic
sentiment in this country.
Jefferson's greatest power was his
optimistic faith In the people. He
trusted them, and they returned the
compliment. Herein Is to be found
the secret of his success. He was not
a speaker. He belonged to the school
Of the idealists rather than to that of
the practical politicians. He inclined
to be a freethinker in religion. All
these things were handicaps rather
than helps toward popularity. 1t was
Jefferson's persistent advocacy of the
rights Of the people and his implicit
trust In their judgment that made him
SO strong with the masses. 1t was this
that made him the most commanding
figure at the beginning of the nine
tenth century and an influential fac
tor from that day to the present.
In person Mr.. Jefferson was tall and
bony, with light eyes, ruddy complex.
