That was In the old days. The
Poet attended every dinner given in
every one of the seventeen cities Wis
ited by the associations special train.
He listened eagerly for the same old
speech. He never heard it, Instead
the southern orator always talked In

The Poet moved his lips, but no

way by that time.
But the Poet refused to give up.
There's one place that, i'm all this
wave of business enterprise and new
eras and prohibition movements and
reforms, can never be stirred from its
rock-ribbed foundations" he declared
earnestly, land that's dear old Hot
Springs. The romance of cards, the
big games for high stakes that furn-
ished the settings for some of the
best stories ever written about the
south, and horse racing, with some
OF the sleekest coated thoroughbreds
that Dixie ever produced, we'll find
at last behind the impregnable breast

The Lid ON Hot Springs.
We ''hoed'' for Hot Springs. The
Poet led the way from the station on
the run TO one of the old clubs, where
he said they had the roof onrollers
so that 1t could be moved out of the
way when the game got to going big.
We found boards nailed across the
front of the club. and through the
windows we saw the place was dusty
and dismantied.
"Not'in' dom, gentlemen" said a
native who stood sorrowfully on the
sidewalk and watched us. "They
hain't a pokah game in Hot Springs
and not a wheel turnin'."
The Poet almost had paralysis.

Friends Of Mayor Smith are having
great sport with him over story
which appeared In the Sunday issue
OF the Chicago Record Herald. and
was written by Richard II. Little
who poses as one OF the humorists
OF that sheet. Little represented his
newspaper on the junket some thirty
members OF the Chicago Association
OF Commerce took last month. and
on which they paid Paducah a visit
OF few hours. and were entertained
by the Commercial club.
Little gave his impressions OF The
New South. In his article. and II he
pictured everything as truly as he re-
ported the political affiliations OF the
city's young mayor. the fact should,
probably. be credited 10 one ching
that Little imbbbed 10 much "buttah
MIX. sab" on the trip. That prob
ably Is the only thing that will save
him and his paper from SANDER suit
for damages; for listen to the way he
quotes Mayor Smith:
"Ahm Democrat. a good Dem
ocrat.' said the mayor OF Paducah.
we are all good Democrats down
heah, An voted TO- Bryan; we all
voted TO Bryan-we all voted TO
Bryan. but we prayed way down In
our h'arts that Mistah Taft would be
elected
The article Is full of fun,-fm
poked at the south. in a good natured
way. and here are some OF its best
bits:
Everybody who Travelled through
the middle south on the Chicago AS
sociatlon of Commerce special train
was rapturous over what ne found.
Everybody but the poet. The busi-
ness men who made up the associa-
tlon's delegation went into ecstasy
because everywhere they heard the
hum OF industry. they saw the belch-
ing black smoke OF countless factories
they listened to the clinkng of gold,
they saw train loads of immigrants
they saw town lots staked out on
mountain tops and IN palmetto for
ests. Hence they rejoiced.
But the Poet wept. The Poet
cared not for the new south. He
wanted the old south. He wanted the
land OF flowers, birds and cotton and
coinnels aud horses and good whisky.

country, sab. It's new day in Hot
Springs, sab; we're waking up down

The Poet gave a hollow groan and
fed down the street with the native
still pursuing him and telling him
how the boarding houses of Chicago
would soon use nothing but Hot
Springs ostrich eggs, because one egg
would give breakfast and luncheon to
all the boarders, with enough left
over to make nine cakes and sixteen
quarts of frosting
Once more the Poet took to the
woods.
But he was clinging to one hast

He had fed from all the talk of
factories and the stopping of immi-

opportunities were waiting on every
