The Kettledrum's last meeting was
one of unusual interest and charm,
the hostess being Mrs. l.. 0. Dawson
and the subject, Thomas E. Watson,
the noted Georgian and literary
light of the whole country. There
was large attendance and the meet

The house was handsomely deco
rated with ferns and palms and cut

hostess and her affairs are always
characterized by much individuality
and charming elegance. She was as

Death of COmrade Mallett

Death of Comrade Mallett
Cleburne, Texas, Dec. %, 1909.
Hon. Thos. e. Watson,
Editor Jeffersonian,
Thomson, Ga.
Hon. ir:-By order of our Camp
] inclose you a copy of the memorial
adopted by our Camp at it's last reg
ular meeting to the memory of our
dead comrade, Colonel J. M. Mallett
Yours truly,
r. w. TERRELL,
Adjt Pat Cleburne Camp No. 88,
u. c. ", Cleburne, Texas.
Under the order for the good of
the camp the following memorial
resolution was offered and adopted:
'To the Officers and Members Pat
Cleburne Camp No. SO, U. G. ":
Whereas, Death has again entered
our camp and removed from our
midst our esteemed friend and COM
rade, James NJ Mallett, true friend,
a wise counsellor, an upright Chris
tian, and faithful soldier. Captain
Mallett entered the army as private
in Company E, Forty-frst Brigade,
Sharp's Division, Hindman's Corps,
Army of Tennessee, and rose through
all the grades to captain and was
continuously with that army and in
all of it's battles from Corinth to
Greensboro, N. c., when the star of
the Confederacy went down to rise
no more.
when peace came, the war, with
Captain Mallett, was over, and from
that time to the close of his life,
every talent and power he possessed
was exerted for the rehabilitation of
the Southern country by the promo
ton of those policies and practices
that make a section or nation
great.
''He was a conscientious man; he
strove to be right; having carefully
weighed a proposition, he formed an
opinion, and stood by it regardless Of
the popular opinion; he was willing
to be with the minority if the mi
nority was right.
''He was an unobtrusive Christian,
observing the rule of dealing with
men as he would have men deal with
him; therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of
Captain Mallett, the camp has lost
one of it's truest and most valued
members and each of it's members
devoted friend, and that the sympa-
thies of the camp be extended his
widow and all surviving relatives.

The life Of a justice on the bench
Of the supreme court OF the United
States comes as near being an ideal
way to spend ones allotted span Of
years on this sphere as is permitted
ia this sadly ordered world. II he be
properly selected the justice loves
bis work. What be has 10 do affords
him the chief pleasure Of bis days.
He has the consciousness that it is
important work; that as he decides
win affect for good or III not only
men now living, but in many in
stances the unborn sons Of men.
Inherent Ia a seat on the bench
are great powers and grave respon-
sibilities, which may be exercised in
absolute detachment from all world
" interests and without fear, favor
or hope Of reward. The justice is
far removed from daily temptation,
from opportunities and pleadings
from the demands and exactions Of
friendships and from all the little
things that sWerye the cold proc
esses Of reason in the forming Of
the average mans judgments.
However long and intimately one
may be in contact with the supreme
court, il always exacts an inVolun-
tary trembling Of the knees as
mark Of respect. It is of record
that one lawyer at least tainted
from sheer fright when he arose
for the first time TO address the
court. Lawyers who have had much
supreme court practice have told
me that they have never got over
their awe Of the court and that they
never rise to address II without a
little attack Of "stage fright" and
much inward quaking.
The court has long, ancient, hon
orable and high traditions, and its
members do their best to sustain
them. Where men appointed 20 the
court have not been able to live up
10 the high mental standards set BY
some Of their predecessors, they
have at least been able TO insist
upon and demand rigid conforma-
ton TO the forms and practices es-
iablishcd BY the court TO maintain
its dignity.-Edward G. Lowry, in
Hnrper's Weekly.

Admiral Duquesne, the famous
French naval hero, was the son Of a
shipbnilder and at the age Of seven
teen was placed in command Of one
Of his fathers vessels. He sailed
forth, espied Dutch vessel, board
ed it, compelled it to surrender and
brought it into port. Not until he
had been carried through the streets
in triumph on the shoulders Of his
fellow townsmen did it occur to the
officials that France and Holland
were at peace. That fact being adj
mitted, legal proceedings had to fol-
low, as the result Of which the
youthful captain was warned to be
more careful another time Richie
lieu, however, heard Of his exploit
and. without considering the COM
ity Of nations, offered him a COM
mission in the navy.

When Mel, the French general,
was returning home from the scene
Of his victories in the war between
France and Austria he received
from a peasant who wished to hon

pale yellow roses. One Of the stems
the general took to a florist in Paris,
in whose care il remained until il
became q thriving bush covered
with blossoms. Mel then took the
plant as a gift to the Empress Eu-
genie. She expressed great admira-

"Avocation" is one Of those un-
fortunate words that are constantly
being used in a wrong sense. Strict
" speaking, it refers to something
that calls a man away from the or
binary occupation Of his daily life.

The largest nugget Of gold ever

near Ballarat, in Australia, in the

price obtained was S21 per ounce.
