WHAT HELLO MEANS.

For many years the word Hello"
has been in use, and it has been more
frequently employed since the telephone
came into general service. Yet there
are few who know just what the word
means. We only know that the sweet
voiced Central greets us thus from
time to time and the party at the other
end of the wire uses the mystic word
invariably. Therefore the following
from the Asheville IN. c. Gazette
News will be read with interest:
We learn from correspondent that
"holler" is the word "halloo" (hello) in
its proper form, and that halloo is q
root common to all Indo-European Ian.
guages. This correspondent adds that
''the root is spelled. in the comparative
grammar of the Indo-E European Ian
guage, by Heinrich Flick, HLU, and is
pronounced almost exactly h-loo. Ii
appears in whole classes OF words sig
nifying to call (call itself being derived
from that root) and to hear and mean
ing very nearly, stop and listen to me.
The first word in the old Morse Edda is
HLIOTHS, and it means a listening
silence, so that the concrete meaning of
halloo is to be in state of listening
silence, or 'be still and listen.'" Now
you know exactly what you mean
when you say ''hello. Norfolk Ledger

FADED DREAMS.

want to be gypsy in the springtime,
want to be rover in July,
But November winds have racked.
And those things now don't attract
Mel just want to be quiet little guy
In nice steamheated dwelling in city.
With a carriage to conduct me to my
toll
Which should last from ten to two.
And corrall the revenue
Yea, in winter I'm an alien from the
soil
want TO be farmer in the Maytime
want to be a vintner in the fall.
But l wake from such estastic
Dreams from reasons quite climatic
My ears no longer hear the wildwood
call.
For me the simple joys of true existence
Some twenty from the public square
Lost ideals-I wished in June
were tramp or pecarion,
Now 1 only want to be a millionaire.

his service as Confederate soldier and
shows that despite a malady which
made it impossible for him to continue
constantly in the field, he served in
every capacity in which his physical
condition would permit and rendered
valiant and extremely dangerous
service to the Confederate cause until
the war closed. having price put upon
his head by the Federals and being
threatened with death in the event of
capture. He calls upon any one ques-
tioning his record to consult any of his
comrades-in-arms, and as to his disability
ne refers to several distinguished sur
geons who operated upon him in an eff
fort to effect cure.
Finally. as to the charge that he was
the candidate of two rings, Judge Mann
says:
"As to the general charge that l am
the candidate of two Rings 1 will
say that four years ago, when / was
defeated for the nomination, l an
nounced that would be a candidate at
the next primary. The support l now
have consists of such friends as I then
had, and such as have since come to nv
support. The recruits must say have
been very numerous, and am proud to
say that among them are many of the
best citizens OF the commonwealth.
They have come to my support freely
and of their own accord. l have not
nor has any one for me, made any com
promise or combination of any kind
whatsoever, and have not, nor has any
one for me, made any promise or
pledge to any man or set of men what
soever, nor have been asked to do so
and if l am elected will be absolutely
free and untrammeled to perform nv
full duty to the very best of my ability.
The Anti-Saloon League is not polit-
ical organization and has not endorsed
me. l have long stood for the great
principles it represents and am one of
its members, and it should not seem
strange that 1 have among my sup
porters almost the entire membership
of the organization, not just the lead
ers but the great rank and file of
members. The statement that COM
bination was made between the Anti
Saloon League and the liquor interests
In my behalf or between myself and
the liquor interests seem too absurd
to answer. 1t is of course, untrue and
has no foundation whatever in fact.
The policy declared by the Anti-Saloon
League was adopted because in its just
judgment that action would best pro-
mote the temperance cause.

DRIFTING AWAY.

Drifting away to Dreamland
On the tide of the sea of Sleep;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
Der waters dark and deep;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
The way is smooth and bright;
And the ship of Forgetfulness
Is set with the sails of night.
Drifting away to Dreamland,
To the tinkling of fairy bells;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
As the great sea heaves and swellsi
Drifting away to Dreamland,
Attended by nymphs so fair;
Borne over a mystic sea
BY zephyrs of mystic air.
Drifting away to Dreamland,
Far from the shores of life;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
Far from cares and strife;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
Past many pleasant streams;
Past the whirlpool of Delight,
Close to the shore of Dreams.
Drifting away to Dreamland,
The ship doth smoothly ride;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
She nears the other side;
Drifting away to Dreamland,
The journey is nearly DER;
The ship has crossed the mighty sea,
And reached Oblivion's shore.

TO PUNISH SUICIDES.

The unique wisdom of the Roman law
giver was never better illustrated than
in the days of the decline of that nation,
when suicide became so common
among the Roman matrons as to be an
alarming fact. The Roman Senate
enacted a law. singularly adapted TO
the times and the situation, and show
ing intimate knowledge of woman
nature. 1t was decreed that any wo-
man committing suicide should have
her body stripped and in this nude state
be dragged through the city, rope
about the neck and the rope tied to the
tail of cart. The body was after
ward to be thrown out on the hillside,
denied burial and left for dogs and
wild beasts to devour. 1t was absolute
ly effective; and suicide from that day
on was discontinued among Roman
women.

Every week morbid man blames his
own failure upon Fate. What he is he
thinks fate has made him. What he
has done he believes was the work not
of himself, but of Fate.
1t is view of life that is shared by
many. It is a comforting view of life
for the failures. Having made a sorry
mess of ones existence, it is pleasant to
think that the blame is Fate's, that we
are what Omar Khasyam calls
Importent pieces in the game he PLAYS
Upon his checkerboard of nights and
days,
Hither and thither moves, and checks
and slays,
And one by one back in the closet lays.
The defect in this view of life is that
it is all wrong.
We are not puppets; we are not the
sport of Fate. Perhaps we are not the
absolute masters of our destinies, but at
least we can direct them. We can
escape the evil that Fate has in store
for those who waste their lives. We
can reap many of the rewards that are
set apart for useful lives. But when q
man deliberately makes a wreck of his
mind and body, casts opportunities ts
the winds. and through his idleness anc
self-seeking finds himself drifting help
lessly along on the ebb tide, he has M
right to cry out that Fate did it, OF
that he is poor victim of the ''fel
clutch of circumstance.
Fate is. after all, only a name,
name for something which has no exis
tence. But it is human to find som
person or object on which the blam
can be cast for our own shortcomings

ABOUT THE SAyAGES.
Gov. Swanson Tells OF Mistakes on
Negro Orators.
FrOm the Minneapolis JOurnal)

Negro orators.
From the Minneapolis Journai)
Many stories have been told of the
ludicrous mistakes of negro orators.
Here is one for which Gov. Claude
Swanson, of Virginia, is responsible.
In small Virginia town a pompous
negro was delivering Fourth of July
address to an audience of colored folks.
He said:
my Colored Fellow Citizens: We
have occasion to be proud Of the Fourth
ofJuly. 1t was on the Fourth of July,
1876, that Christopher Columbus landed
on Plymouth Rock and proclaimed free
dom, liberty and independence to all
mankind. And what was they doing
down here in Virginny at that time?
They had their feet on the black mans
neck a-hollerin' Sick senter tyranni-
bus
my colored fellow citizens, this is
great country. 1t is the proudest nation
the sun ever shons upon. But if these
Democrats git into power here they'll
do like they done in Rome. Look at
Rome. Once the proud master of the
land and the mistress of the sea, with
her once proud citizens, which was
Caesar, Olympus. Demosthenes, and
others too numerous to mention. Then
these Dimmecrats got into power here
and what is she to-day? Overrun by
Greeks. Canadians, and other savages."

THE TIDES.

We were brought up with the notion
that the tides are caused by the diff
ference of attraction between the sun
and moon. AS for me, prefer to be-
lieve that the tides are caused by the
earth's respiration. She breathes in
frequently. At each inspiration the
waters rise and we have high tide; at
each expiration the waters recede and
We have low tide. Once in a while she
sighs-that is, takes in very long and
strong breath, when the waters spread
over an unusual territory, which we cal
a tidal wave. And on the other hand,
every now and then she has slight
faintness of breath, when the water.

SWEET REMEMBRANCE.

Sweet remembrance brings to me
Treasured sounds of long ago,
Words and songs of melody
That my childhood used to know.
And In strains ascending high,
Like a chant across the deep,
Comes my mothers lullaby,
Sleep, my baby, softly sleep"
Oh. l feel my heart rejoice,
And listen on my way,
For hear my mothers voice
Teaching me, her child, to pray.
And feel, in purer air,
Angel wings above me sweep,
AS l say my infant prayer,
''N'sw lay me down to Sleep"
Now I lay me, still hear
Mothers words of kindly praise,
And I feel her presence near
AS / my petition raise;
AS in treble accents, 1
Pray Thee. Lord, my soul to keep,
Then I hear her lullaby,
"Sleep, my baby, softly Sleep"
Twilight shadows gather now,
And long for peace and rest;
/ would ease my aching brow
On my nngel mothers breast,
/ would hear her lullaby
In repose my spirit keep,
And repeat, with mother nigh,
''Now lay me down to Sleep"
Obi for melodies that thrill
Until life itself shall close;
OIL for voices that are still
In eternal, calm repose.
But sweet voice, tenderly,
Seems to chide me while 1 weep,
Saying, ''Do not sorrow, He
Giveth His beloved sleep"
