GOOD IN SPOTS.
Ono Man Who Discovered That War
 Was Not Wholly Bad.

Was Not Wholly Bad.
 Lem Jackson loved to loaf. He lived in the mountains not far from Green vile, Tenn, with his wife and large brood of children. Lem had "houn' dawg" that he set great store by, and he spent most of his time lounging in a runway waiting to shoot deer driv- en in by old Bose or sprawling on the bank of a stream fishing. In that way he was good provider after fash ion, but not all the urging, scolding, nagging and broomsticking of his shrewish wife could drive him to work.
 Lem led the lazy life of a Rip Van Wrinkle until the outbreak of the civil war, and then he joined the Confed- crate army. At the end of six months Lem was shot through the right thigh, and it was long before he was able to limp out of the hospital and back to his regiment In the second year he was shot in the left shoulder and when he returned to duty his left hand was bent far back by shortened tendon, but he was still able to raise his rife. Early in the fourth year they got him again-a musket ball through the body but he was back in the ranks long before the fighting was ended. Every one wondered at Lem'S persistence in sticking to the terrible trade of war.
 pr. Girdner met Lem hobbling down the street in Greenville one morning in June, 1865, still pale and weak from his latest wound, his right leg short and wabbly, his left hand stif1y bent back.
 "Glad to see you alive, Lem,' said the doctor. T suppose you're glad to be home againP'
 "Waal," Lem admitted without en- thusiasm, ''I s'pose had to git erlong home. Gin'ral Lee he surrindered us down to Appomattox, an we all had to go home"
 "But aren't you glad to be away from the dangers of war?"
 "Why, doc, war hain't so bad," cried honest Lem-".war hain't so bad. There's lots of days when you don't have nothin' to do.''-Harper's Weekly.

MISS BILLY BURKE

MISS BILLY BURKE
 IN MRS. DOT"
 Miss Billie Burke comes to Jack sons Theatre on Friday evening. tW. Somerset Maugham's fascinating fcomadies. Miss Burke scored a pig success in this piece in New York shortly after the Christmas holidays fand she will be seen here with exactly 1.-the same cast and production. Re lis doing even larger business in this tplay than she did in Love Watches" Hast spring. These Vaughan come dies are sprightly little creations, like perfectly blown bubbles. in which the lcleyerness of workmanship may over Hay weight of material. but in which every sentence is replete with sense and satire. one telling epigram follow ing one another.
 1 Mrs Dot" was first produced by ! Charles Frohman at the Comedy Thea ] ire. London. and ran there an entire year. This winter Miss Burke has had a very successful three months ! engagement at the Lyceum Theatre, FNew York, where she produced IL shortly after the Christmas holidays. Like MT Maugham's other plays. 'Mrs. Dot is a playful satire on modern so- ciety life. Mrs. Dot is a widow with $500 600 a year. young, pretty and charming Ordinarily a woman so endowed WOulO nave the WOTIu at HC feet and Mrs. Dot has. only there is a fly in the ointment. The one man , she loves refuses to marry her when she asks him to.
 His reason? Oh, yes. he has req son, and it is a good one. but you must see the play to learn what that is The play also tells how Mrs. Dot gets rid of this reason and proves once more that the truth of the old adage 2 that when a woman will. she wills" :" In the supporting company. a strong one, are Julian L'Estrange. Fred Kerr. Basil Hallam, Kate Meek. Annie Es- 1nond, and Ann Merideth.
 Though coming at the dead end of the local theatrical season. there is every reason to presume that this en- gagement will prove one of it's most brilliant and successful ones. The sale of seats will open on next Tuesday
 morning, and judging from the inter- est already manifested. a long line of
 rurchaS aSerS is expected.

Grub Streets Pawnshop,

If the Avant is not the oldest and deserves to be. It has been in exist ence ever since the days of Shake speare and Ben Jonson.

One can imagine the amazement of the young cleric who on one occasion ask ed burly hunter how he spelled "swoils''
 We don't spell 'em; we hauls 'em," was the bewildering reply.

ABSENT.

Tho mother is far away tonight,
In spirit she's very lear
The prattle Of sweet little voices,
She constantly seems to hear
And VISIONS of innocent faces,
Come her lovely heart to cheer.
The distance that lies between US,
So not very far you know
For the father we trust is watching,
Ger each, for he loves us so;
He'll never forget to protect Us,
Wherever our path may go.
Tho lonely the pathway tonight dears,
And rugged its rocky steps
The Savior has Travelled before US,
And a loving watch Ae keeps;
For a Shepherd so kind and true,
Could meyer forget his sheep.
So we have no need to fear, you see,
Or think of the coming day,
For the spirit is interceeding,
For us-and he will always,
So let US be strong and courageous,
And just wait, and watch and pray.
From Mother.
