AMY'S WISH.
Amy, Louise and Ethel were sitting un-
der the golden. sweet apple tree. They
wanted some apples. but II was now late
found on the ground nor none TO be seen
on the tree So they were just sitting
there telling stories
IF you girls could get anything you
wished for" asked Louise. what would
be your wish?"
sOh, I know mine," exclaimed Ethel.
Il wish had a marble palace filled with
gold furniture and dishes made of jewels.
On the lawn 1 would have trees with ev-
cry kind OF fruit that grows. and a foun-
tain that spouts lemonade, and all my
servants should be golden-haired fairies
that would just touch things with their
wands and everything would be done
Then Louise began: II wish i had
wings and could fly like bird. 1 would
80 TO the cities and sit up on top OF
the high buildings and watch all the peo-
pie Then 1 would go to the mountains
and the seashore. and my wings would be
so strong that / could fly across the
ocean and see everything in the world
Amy looked at the girls in astonish-
ment How could they ever think of such
beautiful wishes? She was sure she
couldn't. The girls were waiting to hear
her wish, but the only thing Amy could
think Of that she wanted was an apple.
SO she said. 81 wish i had nice big
golden-sweet apple"
Ethel and Louise laughed. They
thought that a very silly wish. But just
then . large. plump golden-sweet apple,
the last one on the tree. fell right into
Amy.s lap.
It was a great surprise TO all OF them
to see Amy's wish so promptly fulfilled.
and they decided that, while the wish
hadn't sounded very attractive, IL look
ed good and sounded even better.

A Brave Woman's Work
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga, Feb. ]

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga, Feb. L.
Dear Mrs. FELTON,; I am a reader Of
your pieces in the Semi Weekly Journal,
and read with great interest all your
pieces about war times, as I have heard
my grandmother tell about what strug-
giles she had during the four years the
war went on,
1 have often thought after reading in
your columns about what time some of
the soldiers had In the war, that 1 would
write to you and tell what a lone woman
experienced at that time.
Grandfather went to the war in 1861,
leaving grandmother with three small
children, the youngest a little over 2
years old.
When he had been gone only a few
months two little twin girls we're born.
We mothers know how much extra work
ose little helpless babe causes. and 1t
does seem that grandmother would have
had her hands full taking Gaze of her
five little girls. without having the liv-
ing to make for them. But she made a
living, all the same She gave $50 for a
little hoe to make IL with; cut all OF her
wood and dragged IL to the house, that
she had to make fires with. In the rain,
sleet and snow she had to go to get
wood to keep them warm. She also sat
pat night, carded and spun thread
which she afterwards wove into cloth to
make them clothes.
And grandmother made their shoes al
so. 1 have already written enough that
any one reading this can only guess at
what a time she had, but If you could
only hear her tell it as 1 have, then
yen could know more about 1t,
1t would seem that she had her hands
full with all have told that she had to
do, but l have got yet more to tell,
When grandfather got back from the
war she had bought 60 acres of land and
had it paid for. They have since added
more to it and still live at the same old
place, although they have built another
house. If you will pardon me. will add
a little family history. Both are still liv-
ing raised II children. all living except
two; have 30 grandchildren and IL great
grandchildren.
Grandfather grandmother and all their
children and most all the grandchildren
taht are large enough, are members Of
the Methodist church. My grandparents
names are Mr.. and Mrs. Hiram Patter-
son, add If you wish TO put this in print
you can do so. There are plenty of peo-

Washington MEMS

WASHINGTON, March s.-The appoint
ment Of Henry Lincoln Johnson, the coll
ored attorney of Atlanta, to be recorder
of deeds for the District of Columbia, at
salary of $4,000 per year. is not pleas
ing the southern negroes, particularly the
leaders in Georgia. This statement IS
based upon authentic information. More
over, Johnsons appointment has not been
welcomed by the black aristocracy of the
national capital.
Johnson is too plain, too much of a
negro to suit the Washington darkies, ami
too much of a Democrat to please the
Georgia colored folks. Johnson is one

that he would. II the mothers would
have answered l believe most of them
would have said
Give us the prodigal. He might have
been saved. He knew how to love-poor
boy, he was ruined by the friends he
made so easily.
Better to weep over such a one than
to sit dry-eyed and watch the cold, cal
culating rise to success of a son who
couldn't smile, who couldn't love, who
wouldn't give out of himself enough to
win friends.
What do you think? Would that have
been the answer of the mothers?

JUDGE RODDENBERY is
PUZZLED BY DIRECTION

Judge Anderson Roddenbery, Georgia s
newest legislator In the national congress,
was considerably embarrassed during the
first few days of his official residence in
Washington by his inability to tell any
thing about direction. His discontinue
came from the fact that the sun was OBJ
scured for nearly a week, and the con-
gresham had no method of getting his
bearings.
The judge would start for given point
about the capitol stop to inquire the way
and would be directed Ito follow this cor
ridor so far, then turn east or west, or
south or north" as the case might be.
Having no compass and being unable
to see the sun, how was I to tell east
from west I'm this big building?" asked
Judge Roddenbery in Teeounting his ex-
perienee in explanation of the pleasure
he evidenced at seeing the sun last Thurs
day afternoon.

A GREAT SPEECH GOES

UNNOTlCED BY PUBLIC
Senator Baileys speech in opposition to
the postal savings bank bill was one of
the greatest efforts of his life 1t was
acknowledged by all who heard it to be
the finest constitutional argument deliv-
cred in the senate in many years.
What the Texas statesman said concern
ing the constitution of the United States
as bearing on congress right to enact a
postal savings bank bill and what he
said relative to the economic wisdom, or
unwisdom, of such legislation will live a
long time.
In future years Bailey's speech will be
quoted, but for the time being it has gone
practically unnoticed, because the alto
gether unusual and remarkable 'brotherly
love" speech of Senator Gordon, of Mis-
sissippi, was delivered on the same day.
The sentiments breathed by General
Gordon caught the press and public alike
His pleasing platitudes commanded col
umns-miles of columns in the newspa-
pers of the country; his speech, extempo-
raneous and impromptu, of romance and
realism-mostly romance-that required no
thought other than that demanded by the
enunciation of words, caught the country
in an instant.
Bailey's speech, representing the work
Of weeks of a great intellect dealing with
great economic problem and illuminat-
ing the country's constitution got from
three to ten lines in the newspapers, the
same day Gordon doomed so conspicu-
ously.
But Senator Baileys speech was lost.
It's echoes may be heard about the halls
of the capitol today, and long after all
save the incident of Gordon's speech has
been forgot, Baileys speech will stand as
criterion in the halls of congress.
