turned into a side street, but in vain
did Lena call to her; she did not hear
and was soon lost to Lna's view.
"I'll just run after her, for she can't
be far down the street. said Lena to
herself So she hurried downstairs and
out of doors and on to the corner. She
could see Mabel a block away and ran
in pursuit of her. Mabel, Mabel, wait
for mel" she called. Mabel heard her
and waited. "See my new frock?" she
said, all out of breath from running.
Isn't it lovely?"
Perfectly lovely, Lena" admitted
Mabel. Il shall have to wear my old
frQck, for mamma did not get my new
one done in time for the party But
don't mind"
"Oh, I'd hate to wear an old frock
to such a swell party" said Lena.
You know it's to be a very grand af-
fair Ices, fruit, cake and all sorts
of things. And there are to be thirty
guests
Eyes, it's nice to have a new frock
for the party" admitted Mabel. But
since / haven't one 1 shall go in my
old one and try to have just as good
a time as though / were in a new
frock. But your frock is lovely, and
know every one will admire it. Where
are you going now?"
Mabel's question brought Lena to
her senses. She had not realized be-
fore that she was going on down the
street and really turned into another
street from the one in which she had
overtaken Mabel, and was some three
or four blocks from home. She had
not meant to go farther than the cor
ner. "Oh, I guess it won't matter
now" she said to herself. Then aloud
to Mabel: "Where are you going?-I
may go with you" She hated return
ing to the house to change her dress,
and did not want to remain indoors all
afternoon.
I'm going to grandmamma's," said
Mabel 81 would like to have you go
with me. But I am not coming back
directly. I'll stay for an hour out
there
MabePs grandmother lived fully
half a mile from Lena's home, but
Lena did not mind the walk and de-
cided to accompany Mabel to her
grandmother's gate, from where she
would turn back, for she felt that she
must not remain away from home too
long.
But neither of the little girls noticed
that clouds were gathering thickly
to Mabel at the gate of the latters
grandmother she turned homeward
without hearing the low thunder which
rumbled in the darkening sky. She
was so intent on her new frock, and
the sensation it must make at the
party, that she had no ear nor eye for

GRANDPA's ATTIC

In the attic down to granpap's,
My! What funny things they is!
Cradles, sickles. trunks of luther,
Spinning wheels kin fairly whizz!
Cheers of hickory. splint bottomed,
Wooden latches for the door,
Bunch of clapboards, yaller papers,
And, my land, a hull lot more!
Cur-yus place there, next the rafters!
Like to set there when it rains,
BY the little four-light winder
With it's teeny. dusty panes.
Like to read McGuffy's readers
And the blue-back spellin' book;
Biography that's set to music.
And the writin' gran'pap took.
Like to rummage in the big chist,
Like to peek in bureau draweres;
Like to read the letters gran'p pap
Wrote in analyne from the wars,
Say! When 1t is raining fellers.
May be haunted, but 1 dast
Set there by the winder, seeing
Great things loom up from the past.

Hid Under the Pillows

Dear Aunt Laurie:
am going to tell you this week how
mamma thought was lost when was
about 3 years old.
It was a busy Monday and mamma
had had such a big washing she did
not get her clothes hung up until after
noon, l did not know how busy she
was SO 1 kept bothering her with
questions. l kept asking if could go
to grandma's, Nina's, Mildred's and
thousand other places, but mamma
said mol" to every one.
At last she went out into the yard
and was left to myself.
After two or three hours mamma be-
gan to wonder where 1 was and wheth-
er had gone down to grandma's In
spite of her having forbidden me.
She asked our next-door neighbor
If 1 was there, but 1 was not. She
went across the street to see If I was
there, but / was not. At last Mr..
Johnston went down to grandma's to
see If 1 was there. 1 was not there,
either. Papa was next door to grand
mas, so he. grandma, grandpa and
Aunt Daisy all came home to help in
the search.
1 was nowhere in the neighborhood
to be found, nowhere in the house or
yard, either. No one could find me for
a long time.
At last Aunt Daisy came to the couch
and lifted off the pillows. There L was
curled up asleep!
l had slept through all the excite
ment and had not wakened until the
bright light met my eyes, for it was
night when 1 was found, and the
lights were burning.
Every one was very glad [ had not
been farther away than that.

T ENA was invited to attend the
birthday party of her little friend
A Oracle. The party was to take
place at 4 o'clock on Saturday after
noon, and was to be the greatest party
of its kind given by any little girl in
the town. In view of this fact (for it
must have been a fact, as Oracle her
self had said it was to be the grandest
party ever given by little girD Lena
had begged her mamma to make her a
new frock to wear on the occasion. And
Lena's mamma had complied with her
little girls request, and on Saturday
morning she called Lena into the sew
ing room to show her the new frock,
which was splendid with ribbon bows
and lace frills. 1t was all blue and
white-the frock and the trimmings

Novel Lured Boy Away

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Where he was we didn't know. We
had searched for him high and low,
called but no answer. Where could he
be? He had promised not to so away

said to father.
My brother was younger than l. That
afternoon, tired with our play, l went
into the house, leaving brother to play
with the cat
Soon 1 went out again, but Tom was
not in sight. [ called him; no answer.

and now by his disobedience had caused
much alarm.

heard father call from the barn, and
mother hurried away, with me at her
heels.
"Sh! Sh!" whispered father, putting
his finger to his lips. Come here
quietly and look in the hay"
We looked, and there half buried in
the depths of the warm hay was Tom
fast asleep. Beside him lay a soiled
novel--a story which mother never al
lowed us to read
'I nearly stuck the pitchfork into
him." said father.
"Oh!" gasped mother as she lifted
the sleeping child gently in her arms
and bore him to the house.
He soon awoke, and we gathered
about him, asking an explanation as

Towser Fails to Return
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
why, Kitty, where's Towser?"
81 don't know, mother. Isn't he
there?"
His breakfast is here, untouched"
said her mother.
1t worried Kitty very much. Tow
ser was her only pet, and she loved
him. Running for her bonnet, she
darted out of the house and started
out to look fr him She called as she
went, but got no answer.
Finally she got discouraged and
turned her footsteps domeward. On
reaching home she found her mother
waiting for her.
Don't give up, dear. Perhaps some
of the neighbors have seen him, or
maybe you will find him down town."
Kitty went down town, but found
no trace of her pet.
"When your father comes home
you may ask him to put an advertise
ment in The Herald" said her
mother.
She was very impatient until her
father came home; then she ran to
meet him. After she had told him
about it he said "Of course, I'll go
down town this evening and attend
to it."
Kitty told her schoolmates at school
the next day and they promised to
keep a lookout for her pet.
On the second day after the notice
had been put in The Herald Kitty re-
ceived a letter describing dog which
had been found with a broken leg by
the railroad track.
The next day Kitty and her mother
went to see the dog but to Kitty's
disappointment it was not hers. After
that nothing was heard of her pet and
she feared he had been killed or
stolen. Your loving niece,

and reminded Lena of the sky on a
summer day when white clouds floated
over it.
Lena was so overjoyed with the new
frock that she begged her mamma to
allow her to wear it uptown when she
went on an errand. But the mamma
explained that she might get the pretty
''best dress soiled while running the
errand, and told her she must not put
it on till time to go to the party. OF
course Lena was much disappointed,
for she wanted to go by Lily Smiths
house on her way uptown and to show
her new frock to Lily. She hated to
wait until o'clock to have her little
friends see the lovely blue and white
dream" SO she went off pouting and
performed the errand for mamma IN
differently. On returning home the
house maid met her at the door, say
ing:
'Miss Lena, your mamma has gonn
to make some calls and said to tell
YOU that she'd be home again before
time for you to start to the party. She
left luncheon on the table for you.
She and your papa had their luncheon
earlier than usual"
Lena went to the dining room and
ate her luncheon. Then she ran up
stairs to take another peep at the new
frock. How lovely it was-so blue and
white! Then Lena wondered IL it would
fit nicely. Her mamma had never
made a dress for her that did not mt
nicely, but this one might prove the
exception Perhaps she would better
slip it on to make sure. And If she
found it too tight or too loose hef
mamma could remedy the error on her
return home.
So Lena quickly slipped out of her
everyday frock and into the pretty new
one. Surely it must be bit wrong
somewhere. But no, it was perfect
fit and felt SO comfy. Lena had
learned how to button her own frocks,
and was not obliged to call to the maid
to assist at her toilet when her mother
was absent. Within few minutes
after determining to "try on" the frock
Lena stood before the mirror resplend-
ent. Then, to see just how she would
look at a party, she got from the clos
ct her big Sunday hat and put 1t on.
Oh, how very nicely the new frock and
hat harmonized! Then Lena got her
Sunday gloves-little white kid ones
and put them on. Yes, the whole was
perfect! Mamma had certainly made
a love of a frock and it fitted to per-
fection.
Lena looked at the clock. 1t was 1870
O'Clock. How foolish for her to un-
dress now, for it would not be very
long till time to start to the party.
Why should not she remain dressed
and save the time and trouble of doing
it all over again? Yes, that was the
best plan. She would keep on her new
frock, even keep on her hat and gloves.
So decided, Lena sat down beside the
window and watched the passersby.
Pretty soon she saw Mabel Adams
coming down the pavement. Ch, she
must, just must, call Mabel in to show
her her pretty new frock. But at the
corner above Lena's house Mabel

If in all the annals of history there
are the equals of these heroes. The
submarine went a piece down the
river and nothing further was seen
of it for a time. An investigation
was made and it was found sunk and
all On board drowned. 1t was taken
out and worked upon and again vol
unteers were called for, and again
every man in the regiment volunteer
ed. The same fatality happened the
second time. Again the boat was
overhauled and again volunteers were
called for, and again every man in
the regiment volunteered This time
they were successful and rammed
and sunk or disabled the Yankee
boat, and one of the heroes, 1 be-
lieve, escaped. Their names should
be woven into song and sung in
every common school throughout this
Southland of ours. The world should
know of this, the most daring feat,
ever undertaken by man.
You alone of all I know of are best
qualified to do this work of giving
to the school children a fair under
standing of the South's ideals and
achievements. 1t is better to act
on the mind of the child than to wait
until he is a man and then possibly
never reach him. Yours truly,

people and gives them the reforms which they
demanded at the ballot box on November 8th.
Colonel Roosevelt continues to remain silent
on the result of the election, but the report
that the Colonel is planning to lead new
party in 1912 will not down.
There may be new party in 1912-it all
depends on what the incoming Congress does
in the way of keeping faith with the people
but the Colonel is not the logical man to lead
such a party.
The result in his own State, and in the
Western States wherever he made speeches,
shows that the Colonel has lost strength about
as fast as a man possibly could.
The man who makes Insurgent speeches in
one section and then writes a platform in
dorsing the Payne-Aldrich tariff, which he
has his convention indorse, is not likely to be
a success when it comes to leading reform
movement.
The reformer must be man who has the
courage to stand up for his principles in the
East just as he does in the West He must
condemn Trusts and the robber tariff just as
strongly in New England as he does in In
diana and Wisconsin.
People cannot be hoodwinked as they were

few years ago, even by so shrewd poll
tician Mr.. Roosevelt
If new party does come into the field in
1912, the progressive wing of both parties
uniting to fight the conservatives, the Colonel
will not be the Moses that leads them to vic
tory
People have much more confidence in La
Toilette or Cummins-men who have stuck
to their principles through thick and thin
than they have in a man who indorses one
policy or principle in one section and another
principle, the very opposite, in another sec
ton.
One of the best pieces of advice ever given
to a successful candidate has been given to
the newly-elected Governor of New York by
the New York Globe, Republican paper.
In case Mr.. Dix should need advice on legis-
lation relating to New York City, the Globe
advises him to 60 to Mayor Gaynor instead
of to Boss Murphy of Tammany Hall, as the
people will not stand for corrupt boss role
any more
The Globe is right, AMI Mr.. Dix should
follow the example of Mayor Gaynor and
refuse to recognize Boss Murphy or any Of
his ilk.

Florida to Try For Cheaper
School Books

Hon. ThOs. e. Watson, Thomson, Ca:
The last session of the legislature
Of the state of Florida appointed me
as one senator out of committee
consisting of two senators and three
representatives to investigate and see
if anything could be done towards
getting cheaper school books for our
children and fairer histories of the
South struggle for states rights and
the important part the South has
taken in the history of this country.
The idea then was to see if the state
OF Florida and some of the other
Southern states would not join to-
gether and establish a school-book
printing outfit to print free books for
our schools. After thinking over the
matter 1 am convinced that each state
must act for itself.
In connection with the last matter
referred to, I desire to say that for
a year | have carefully considered
the subject, and | feel it my duty to
call your attention to it and to sug-
gest that you should in the immedi-
ate future, write a common school
history of the United States, in order
that our children might have a fair
conception of the SOuth's acts in the
matter Of secession, and that they
might know of her glorious feats on
land and sea. | am a Southerner and
educated in the Southern schools, but
| am free to say that until after |
left the schools I was of the opinion
that we were wrong, foolish, and that
the North should have all the glory
and DraiSo for what she did
Our school histories do not tell us
that the first cannon or big gun made
after the modern method of shrink
ing of one tier upon another, like the
putting of a wagon tier on a wheel,
was made at Fort Brooks, Tampa,
Fla. They do not tell us any thing
about the first torpedo, or the first
range-finder or the first submarine
being built by the South. Not one
word have l ever been able to see in
any Of our school histories of the
most heroic act in all history. When
the submarine was ready at Charles
ton to go out to sink the Yankee gun
boat, | think it was the Husatonic,
volunteers were called for. And
every man in the Regiment stepped
out and volunteered. To appreciate
this act of heroism, one has only to
consider for moment that they were
to go down under the sea in an un-
tried craft, where man had never
gone before. The craft was propell-
ed by oars and operated by eight
men. At the bow was fastened
spirit with a torpedo attached and
the plan was to ram the Yankee boat
from beneath the water, and at the
ramming all must perish / submit

Unless the Democrats run things straight
in New York for the next two years they
may expect to lose the State in 1912.
If they allow Murphy and Tammany to
plunder as the recent investigation showed
that the Republicans did, there will be no
hope for Democratic victory two years from
now.
The entire country will keep watch on the
way the Democratic administration of that
state is run more than any other, and few
serious plumbers will endanger what is now
bright prospect for National success.
