4. WHILE ago I was In the state of A North Carolina. and 1t was the 4 \ first time my foot trod her gener- ous soil and my lungs greeted her salu- brious air. I found the people ideal, southern from skin to core, and from core to skin. saw and communed with Jo- sephus Daniels, one of my cloth, and the base of Tom Pence, another of my cloth, whom I love as my son. If these two chaps would go to school to me for a short season, what grand and magnif- icent democrats would make of them! They have the tap-root. Both are sound on the tariff question, and thank God for did drink of that hell-broth, ship subsidy.
 also met Dr. Thomas M. Jordan, a splendid man. And I had such as he in my minds eye when I wrote this of the doctor:
 'As you have come to the store of a picture dealer in your stroll along the street you have paused to look in the window where was exposed a picture of a doctor gazing on an expiring child In the humble crib, its mother distracted with a grief, its father bowed down with sorrow. This doctor had made his des- perate battle against his relentless ene- my-death--but was now down and out, and in little while the soul of his pa tient had left the clay to return whence it came.
 I've envy not the man or woman who can look on that picture unmoved. He or she is callous to the humanities. It is distinctively the office of the doctor to be a good man. That is even more im- perative than that t<Re should be a skilled leech. His mission Is to succor the dis

tressed, to asuage pain, to dispel anx- iety. His smile should be sunshine, his voice cheer. He is there at our birth. He watches at our cradle. He ministers to us when sick. He admonishes us with solcttude. He Is by us in death. He follows us to the grave.
 ''Nnat a noble profession 1t Is In town and country Even the insane genius of Balzac became human when 1t conceived, and he wrote the novel entitled, The Country Doctor % Your doctor who is also a good man is a blessing to all his neighbors and an ornament and glory to the human fam fly"
 strange. that all North Carolina loves him.
 But let me get back to my friend Jo- sephus. He is the proprietor and the edi- tor of a prosperous newspaper in com munity of freemen, and that is the high est office in the world, and the most hon. orable when the man who fills it is hon. est end fearless, and Daniels Is both and some more besides. I met a very handsome and charming woman in Raleigh, but we got into something verg- ing on a row when I insisted that Ken lucky was just leetle better than North Carolina; but had the grace to surren- der and admit to her that North Caro- lima was just Q little better than the others, and her eyes beamed when I quoted, with approval. First at Bethel, Farthest at Gettysburg, last at Appomat- tox" She is just such woman as my sweetheart was when I was young, and that Is praise enough, God knows.

Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. Wherefore l say unto thee, her sins, which are many, arc forgiven for she loved much but to whom little is forgiven. the same loveth little" And he said to the woman: Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace" Her kisses and tears were those of repentance and faith and re-
 ceiving the Lords loving forgiveness she went forth with joy and gladness.

News and other famous journals. There we were initiated, too, into the mys- teries of English humor as depicted by Punch There we learned more than school or college ever taught us of the passion and interest of England during the Crimean war Echoes of the Indian mutiny could be heard in those brown pages, where picture after picture treasured up gave us the sense of shock, of tragedy, of national glory and prowess.
 Here was art not for arts sake but for interesting youthful minds, and per- haps primarily for keeping our tongues still and our hands occupied. But think 1t beats the kindergarten in the long run, and that opinion, of course, is militant heresy indeed!

ings" and much youthful bearing of burdens. I never knew a man who so hated a gun or so despised the gentle art of Izaak Walton. He had the in stincts that make Quakers and that even In Russia produce a Leo Tolstoi or Czar- Nicholas. Killing things was to him the most detestable use of hu- man skill. To be honest and kind and serious and attentive to duty appeared to him the sufficient romance of life. If there was still a survival of the old psychic inheritance, the primal in stinct of battle, it was always directed against some hoary iniquity, some vicious tyranny, some reaching business acumen by which the ignorant and the weak were wronged. His com munion with nature was purely pas sive walk through the fields, a visit to the hills, a journey to some pie turesque spot in which he could in wardly wonder at the mysterious uni verse and worship its Creator.
 Not so my Uncle Fred, his youngest brother Jaw. To our childish minds he was of the same years as my father, but of infinitely more sagacious intel lect, of redder blood of more inex- haustible capacity to do. He never seemed to care whether Gladstone or D'Isareli was the premier, except, pos sibly, on election day, when his eyes sh one with an unholy desire, which now I understand, to go out and join the crowd that would gather in those times around the polling place to jeer the voter who dared proclaim himself on the unpopular side.

was no ballot law in those elections, and the voter had to declare himself like a man, in the hearing of everyone. Little physical interference with such voting was permitted, but when some mulish Briton openly Haunted the un- popular color and nerved himself for scrimmage he was seldom disappoint- ed. His hat would soar in the upper air, his yellow ribbon would be jerked from his buttonhole, rotten eggs would anoint his head. mud or dust spatter him. and not unfrequently he would have to run, coatless IS we'll as hat less, from the mob he had defied.
 Was that the glorious right of self government in Britain? It was For bidden to vote, the hereditary privi- lege of seventenths of the people was to "chivy" the three-tenths who were intrusted with the franchise. And am very sure that my Uncle Fred not yet a householder and therefore not a voter, longed to be out in the hurly- burly, demonstrating his liberal princi- pies on every wearer of the yellow. But 1t would not be quite respectable, and so, out of regard for the burgess, his brother-in- Jaw, he let the light of battle shine indeed in his eye, but took no part in the fray. These bachelo uncles, what poys they are!

Perhaps Dr. Hidens charming championship of mothers in Jaw uncon- sciously brought to my mind this other relationship and rekindled the lamp of youthful memory.

odious. and theft, infamy and savagery were enthroned, North Carolina was robbed of many millions. Fraudulent bonds were issued and sold for few cents on the dollar, the proceeds going to the buzzards. carpet-baggers and scalawags, who had the grand old com monwealth in their talons. The eleventh amendment to the federal constitution would not allow the collection of the fraudulent debt by judicial procedure; but South Dakota had the unspeakable meanness to speculate in tnfamy-thrift, Horatio-and acquired title to the bonds and brought suit to enforce their pay ment.
 There were scamps in North Carolina willing to rob their mother In this be- half and they met in Richmond, Va, conspiring to do the infamy Josephus Daniels heard of it and in a furious editorial he blistered the scoundrels from crown to heel The federal judge hauled him up and assessed fine of 5000 for contempt, whereupon Josephus, in open court, damned himself If he would not rot in jail before he would pay one cent of 1t. The marshal was ordered to take him in custody and keep him in durance till the fine was paid to the uttermost farthing and the contempt thus purged.
 The friends of Daniels sought Chief Justice Fuller, who showed them the way to defeat the injustice, but other friends came from their farms and stood around, resolved that if Josephus went to jail the judge would go to the gallows erected by a certain judge of the name of Lynch. And so Josephus was enlarged, and he has been largely at large ever since.

the summer mornings often found us before the sun was up, hastening to the Avon meadows, and bearing jointed rods with lines neatly wouA and various sorts of bait, little red worms that turn ed their scarlet tips irreslstbly, as it seemed, to tempt the perch upon the hook upon which they themselves were impaled, white maggots or grubs, even more alluring for the roach whose home lay deep In the slow eddies of the river or stewed barley-malt with white ex- posed kernel to make these same roach, however surfeited with caddisworms, hungry once more.
 Oh, the joy over the first fish actually landed! It wasn't a whopper, except to me- but to me what a miracle of big ness, brightness and green beauty that little perch was. My instructor inconti- tently yelled. You've got a bite. Yah! Don't you see. Stupid?"
