But at every throw was getting
All that could be coming to him.

"UNCLE RENfUS."

Is it the training of the Atlanta
Constitution which develops distin-
guished literary geniuses. or is it that
this newspaper is fortunate in attract
ing such men to its staff? Certainly 1t
has been noted for years for possess
ing at least one writer of national note
and deserved fame. The retirement
eight years ago from its staff of Joel
Chandler Harris left Frank Lebby
Stanton. as the literary dean of it's
force, on whose able shoulders the
honor gracefully rests.
Joel Chandler Harris, who is no
more, was a real man-more real than
most writer's to thousands who hardly
knew his real name. For he wrote
into the astute, experienced, worldly
wise and yet sweetly lovable Uncle
Remus more of his own nature than
he knew. He. had written many other
excellent things. which will serve to
keep his memory green longer than
that of most of his contemporaries,
but it is as Uncle Remus that he will
be remembered. He needs not, nor
would he wish, a better monument.
He came in this guise close to the hu-
man nature and heart of children of
all ages. They who have passed be-
yond that childhood which can revel
in his delightful touches of nature are
sincerely to be pitied. He didn't try
to write. he let his pen run. His very
Inconsistencies of his own part in
the narration or creation, which dis
played itself in his real modesty OF
spirit. was his most lovable charac-
teristic. His death leaves a distinct
vacancy, for it is impossible that an
other should rise like unto him. But
we have his writings. We may praise
his memory in the enjoyment of those.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Almost every healthy American
plays the national game. or he has
played 1t at one time. knows the
points and is a good Judge of umpiring
In his own mind at least. Down at
Hot Springs in Virginia, where the
Republican managers and candidates
are arranging for the presidential
campaign, there has been a game be-
tween the assembled statesmen and
the newspaper correspondents. With
becoming modesty. due in part from
the fact that their nine was beaten by
score of IA to IL, the newspaper
men withhold the names of their
players, but the statesmen were glad
to see their names in print. Their
nine was made UP of Senator Crane,
pitcher; Representative Burke, of
Pennsylvania, catcher; John C. Evers-
man. secretary to Representative Nc
Kinley, first base; Representative
Burton of Ohio. second base; Repre-
sentative Lawrence of Massachusetts,
third base; Frank Hitchcock, short
stop; Representative Mckinley, center
field; Senator Beveridge, left field and
William H. Taft, right field.
What a drawing card such an ag-
gregation would make, were they to
appear on the ball grounds of any Of
the league clubs. And a good many
persons will incline to the belief that
the country is safe in the hands of
statesmen who can beat the newspa-
per men in a game of baseball.
