The young man sitting beside her In
the secluded corner back of the palms
tried to elevate his eyebrows in
superior way, but failed.
That's what you say" he mur-
INJURED, with the accent on the pro-
noun. You're only joking. You
couldn't be serious if you tried"
"Now, that is unkind of you, Harry
she said, in a grieved tone. I'm sure
| don't see why you of all persons
should talk that way. You don't
mean to say you don't believe me
when I say things? 1 never had my
word doubted before!"
THAT wasn't what l meant" said
the young man, uncomfortably.
Il should hope not" said the young
woman Well what did you mean?"
The young man lifted one foot and
took a palm leaf between his fingers
You know we'll enough he replied
at last. Any one to hear you talk
would think that you-er-thought
lots of me, and you don't at all.
You let me make an idiot of myself,
and ali the time you are having the
best sort of time and laughing to
yourself! Oh 1 can see!"
The young woman sighed and shook
her head. You are so set in your
IDEAS, she murmured by the way
do you think that when you asked me
to marry you it was a case of your
making ar idiot of yourself? Be-
cause"
"You catch a fellow up So" he COM
planned. II never knew anyone like
you. All other girls

rupted the young woman, interestediy.
Certainly not!" said the young
man. There's no use trying to talk
to you because you twist things
around so. Maybe you think l don't
mean it and that's why you won't be
serious!"
81 don't see how could be any
more serious than l am" she said
plaintively. Here I let you take me
away off in this corner, when 1 should

Let him. said the young man, saw

you came with me because you liked
to be with me or because I'm such a

this way?"
Harry" said the young woman, I'M
pressively, 81 treat nobody as / do

The young man scowled at her
minute and then suspicion arose tr-
umphant 81 don't believe you do"
he agreed, bitterly. 81 suppose no
other man would stand it! I'm easy!"
"If you are going to be hat sful," she
said sweetly, "you might as we'll take

"And let Smith have his dance? I

movements with the visionary

"A FOOL THERE WAS

(By L.. in Franklin Press
with apologies to nobody
A fool there was and he went all the
gates,
Even as you and II
Took hin ice, and cut figure SIS"
And cried, Man shall not die"
Now, it isn't a fact that the fool harked
back
To sense and decency again,
Put folly aside, and tried to abide
Honestly among honest men.
For the fool he knew the thing to do,
And he went and did it wrong;
He mixed the cup, he drank it up,
And he drank it with a song.
It's the ace he went, and the coin he
spent,
And the deeds of his foolish days
That now remain only in heart pains.
And broken corset stays.
And he came back to the old
time track
He found the roses dead,
And the friends he'd known all were
gone.
Or the friendships all had fed.
The foo. then saw the effects of the
OF sowing tares for the winI:
SO he took to drink. fell over the
rink
And people said he was blind.
SO The fools now dead, and over his
head
They've placed a marble stone,
And the lies they tell would save him
from hell.
But that's where the fool has
gone.

The Modern Farmer.
Charlotte ChrOnicle.)

1t is interesting to reflect upon the
changes that are coming over the
farming The farmer is be
coming at once a business man, a
chemist and a mechanic. In an article
on this subject, Popular Mechanics
says that the mechanical side of farm
ing is more easily understood. Farm
machinery today is prepared to per
form nearly all the outdoor work.
Flowing. narrowing. planting, cult
waiting, reaping, stacking and threSh-
ing are all mechanical operations, in
most of which the farmer rides. His
machines even are frequently prOpell-
ed by their own gas or steam engine
power, or drawn by a separate traction
engine. There are machines for plant
ing, digging, sorting and bagging pOta-
toes; milking machines for the dairy;
cream separatOrs; power churns; ma
chimes to spread fertilizers and to
stack hay in the barn; the horses are
curried and clipped with a machine.
Most recent of all is a device which
picks feathers from fowls. The mod
ern farmer operates his wv electric
light and water-WOrkS; q telephone
nOt only connects him with his neigh"
hors and town, but stations are estab-
lished at intervals over the farm.
When he needs a tool from the house
in a hurry, he phones and somebody
brings it out; he has his own road
making apparatus; he lays DRAINAGE
systems reaching into miles; he builos
irrigation bitches, and his own gas en-
CINE fills them with water. The farm
er with ar automobile and motor Wag-
on is 10 longer an unusual sight. or
course all his modernism has not
reached the South. but it is ~cOfninS,
and quite soon at that.

never committed any crime.
Referring to the life insurance investi-
cations. he said that there was no evil
denoe whatsoever to warrant the indict-
meht Of John A. Mccall. former president
of the New York Life Insurance company.

man in New York except four-one dead.

Mr.. Jerome then took up the so-called

which, he said. became apparent only after
William J. Corners and Charles f Murphy,
leader Of Tammany hall. lost $4,000.
Then" said the district attorney,
" 'FiHgy Corners started after the Ice
people, but they couldn't get a grand Jury
to find any Indictment"
Then followed a rising vbte, the district
attorney put aside his carefully prepared
memnranda and devoted his entire atten-
tioh to making reply to uuestioners who
arose in every part of the hall to demand
why he failed to do this. or that particular
thing. The 1000 or more persons who
packed Cooper Union declined to register
a vote Of confidence in Mr.. Jerome. An
attempt to bring about such a vote was
made, but it was Kissed down by Jerome

In The White Sister" F.. Marion Craw-
ford's latest novel, is a love story OF mod
ern Rome, locale of his greatest successes,
the city which he doubtless knew better
than any other living writer. At the out
set he presents a heroine WHO cannot fail
to enlist the readers sympathIes. A charm
ing and beautiful girl, Angela is the daugh-
ter of the Prince Chiaramonte, an arlsto-
cratic old adherent of the clerical party,
more papist than the pope" The prince
Is killed in an accident, and 1t transpires
that in his proud allegiance to the church
he had refused to have his marriage legally
ratified by a civil ceremony; consequently
his only child has no legal status as his
heir. On this curious but perfectly posi-
BILE situation, complicated by the girls love
for a penniless young officer, Mr.. Craw-
ford has built a story which has been sue
cessfully dramatized and was recently pre-
sented at one Of our local theaters. The
