THE SIMPLE LIFE OF TOWN.

I've had my fill of the simple life,
And it's back to the town for me;
Back where the song of the lark gives
way
To the business melody;
Back where at sunrise every morn,
The whistle of the quail
Gives way to the whistle that says
Dig in
To the man with the dinner pail
I've had my fill of the simple life,
Green fields and running brooks;
1t looks all right as they show it up
In the colored picture books,
But give me the game that is fierce
and fast,
Where you'll find that this is true
If you don't get" the other man first
You can bet that he'll get you.
Yes,-Ive had my fill of the simple
life,
And it's me for the madding wEirl,
Where the only Call of the Wild" We
hear
Is the voice of the Hello Girl"
Back to the busy marts of trade,
Back mid the clam'ring throng,
Where the feet that set the pace keel
time
To the clang of the fire gong.

REALLY 4 RIDICULOUS PER-
TORRANCE.

The Savannah papers have got into
the habit recently of interviewing re-
turning sons of that city, absent any
where from twenty-five to fifty years,
on the changes they note in the city.
The items generally run about in this
fashion: Mr.. so-and-so, who left Sa-
yannaH at the outbreak Of the civil
war, or just after Sherman occupied
the town, was in the city yesterday
for his first visit since that time Mr.
So-andso was very much impressed
with the changes that had occurred
since his departure forty-six years
ago.
Then comes a long interview with
Mr.. So-andso as to how different the
Bay looks, and how he is certainly
surprised 10 see some new buildings
have gone up since he treked to other
clmes, and what pleasure it is 20
the returning prodigal to note that
Savannah has actually grown some
what without him being on hand 70
help it along.
Atlanta goes Savannah considerably
better on this line. 1t never inter
views the man who went away sew
eral decades ago Its stories run
about in this fashion:
Mr. Speedy Swift, who left Atlanta
for New York a month ago, returned
to the city yesterday. Mr. Speedy
Swift was astounded at the marvellous
development of the city during his
absence. The large number of sky
scrapers erected during the past
thirty days, and the tremendous
changes in the business and residence
districts made it difficult for him 20
find his way about the city without
a gu de. Mr.. Speedy Swift will get
a new installment of the Atlanta
spirit and will hen return to assist
in putting New York on a parity with
the Gate City

of combines that are seeking to ex-
plot the people more and more for

no friend of aggregations Of capital
operating in defiance of the laws. His
opinions were always fat-footed in
favor of the maintenance, as far as
the laws would permit, Of unrestricted
competition in trade, the removal of
unnatural barriers and the continu-
ance of healthful conditions. A
staunch American, his sympathies
were with the aspirations of the peo-
pie as a whole He was clean, sound
to the core, a man Of well founded con-
victions and the courage to express
them, a believer in the overruItng
providence of God and the immutable
principles Of justice. Age had appar-
emily not weakened his mental pow
ers. The stroke of paralysis that car
ried him off can be sincerely deplored
by the entire nation. 1t deprived the
