Governor Smith
May Lecture.

Considerable interest has been
aroused by a curre4t story to the
effect that after his retirement from
the executive Office Governor Smith
will devote an important portion
of his time to the lecture platform,
particularly in Georgia, and that
the principal subject he is to dis.
cuss will be "The Legal Right the
South Had to Secede."
When asked Tuesday morning
as to the reliability of his report,
the governor said he could not now
make any detailed statement of
his future plans.
In an address made at Madison,
it will be recalled that Governor
Smith reviewed several of the bat
ties of the civil war, and dealt
with the legal aspect of the south's
secession. That is a subject in
which he is interested. He has de-
voted study to it and will no doubt
speak on it in the future.
1t is gathered in general way
that the lecture on the legal right
the south had to secede will be in
the governors repertoire, SO to
speak, but not his sole Subject f0

The question is often asked In news

the poem beginning In the hour OF

The answer is given that nothing Is
known of the author. 1t is true this
poem was published with only the ini-
tials Of the writer in the University
Magazine in 1879. But l hold the
manuscript of the poem. and / have
also Blackmore's letter that accompa-

any harm In giving his letter to the

DISCIPLINE.

The Way Rinks Tried II On His Six
months-old Baby. :
Binks had sent Mrs. Binks on visit
to her mother. and he was on the job
with the six-months-old baby.
In the night the baby woke and
cried. Binks looked at his watch
three-quarters OF an hour till bottle
time. He said to himself: e>s8 Y
LET him yell. He's healthy little
Indian. and he must be disciplined"
Then Binks tried to sleep. ,<,r.-,~----
But Binks couldn't sleep. Every cry
grew more pathetic and abused and
heartsick and discouraged. Each cry
said more and more plainly: IT have
no friends or relatives. I'm unhappy
and uncomfortable and want some one
to be good TO me-" !, 80
But Binks. the stubborn and stiff

Then that father said. discipline be

is right, anyway. He took up that
baby, and the baby stuck to his daddy
like fly paper. Further attempts to lay
him down were futile. He wanted no
food but heart food. no milk but that
of human kindness. So the big man
laid that baby beside him on the pill

all. By mutual agreement several men
had exchanged wives. In other cases
women had chosen other partners, and
