WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 2.-The
nassing of the Teddy Bear and the com
ing of Bill 'Possum is merrily sung OF IN
a recent book by Miss Mary Brent White
side, of Atlanta, as follows:
"De noodle dawg done had is day,
Lakwise de Teddy Bar,
En- eve'y place dey use ter be,
De 'possum's settin' dar.
''Dey tied de poodle wild 'er chain,
En- kyar'd i'm all eroun',
But eve'y place he use to go,
De 'possum now am foun'.
Now after while dey turned eroun',
En- dubbed de Teddy Bar,
But faint no use ter look for I'm,
Kaze he no longer dar.
But eve'y whar he use ter be

Bill 'Possum grins at you.
On the eve of President-elect Taft's in
auguration, Miss whiteside. who is
niece of Governor Hoke Smith, of Geor-
gia, and a we'll known author, has written
an attractive little book that promises
to make a bid for instant success. 1t is
dedicated to Mr. Taft as a modest me-
mento of his visit to Atlanta, and is en-
titled "BiH 'Possum-His Book" Several
Washington booksellers and department
stores have stocked themselves with large
supplies OF the work, and it is the pur-
pose of some of them to take advantage
Of the inauguration to push the book.
Miss Whiteside tells interestingly of
the possum and the negro in her book,
depicting the affinity between the two,
and relating cleverly many amusing
stories. Each chapter is introduced by

fight to Him who gave it. But, ah, how
affecting! How awful the spectacle of
such worth and greatness, thus to mortal
eyes fallen! Yes! fallen, fallen, FALL
EN-!
I'm the long and lofty portico where
oft the hero walked in all his glory, now
lay the shrouded corpse. The countenance
still composed and serene seemed to eX-
press the dignity of the spirit which late
ly dwelt in that lifeless form. There those
who paid the last sad honors to the bene-
factor of the country took an impressive
farewell view"

TOOTH BRUSH DRILL
NOT NEW TO SENECA

Editor Atlanta Journal:
In a recent issue OF ThS Journal appears an
article on THE Tooth Brush Drill in a
London school. To prove that there is little
to claim priority uDon for the London school
beg to say: For about six wears the essential
features Of the above system has been in
vogue I'm the Seneca Graded and High Schools.
Our idea is that this important matter Of oral
hygiene should be taught TO the youngest
children and by skilled dentists. in which pro-
fession America excels. Our children get this
instruction. the teachers see that 1t is carried
not daily and marks the DuiDl as in other
studies. Yours very truly
