Letter from Polk Miller.

Richmond, Va, June 1st, 1911.
Francis Marion Bamberg Chapter
U. D. c., Bamberg, S. c.
My Dear Daughters: I have just
come into town this morning, and
find your letter of the End of May
before me. I trust you will not think
me "stingy" because send you one
dollar, only, for your monument, but
I make it a rule to help little every
good cause which presents itself, and
at the end of the year I find myself
charged up with about $500 for such
things. The churches get me for
more than anything else, but as the
preachers all tell us that when we
give to the church we are tending
to the Lord" never feel that l can
turn Him down. So, please accept
the enclosed check for one dollar, on
account of the monument to the dear
old boys of 1851 to '65, and If de
votion to duty, valor upon the field
of battle, and honesty of purpose
availeth anything to make a man Wor-
thy of recognition at the hands OF
the great creator, am sure that the
Confederate soldiers who died for the
cause which was dear to their hearts.
got full credit with Him. I don't
know whether I can ever get back
to South Carolina or not, in my work
I lost so much money on the venture
in going where I was not known,
am almost afraid to try it again.
The Bamberg people were just as
nice to me as possible, and l shall
always remember them with pleas
ure, but in some of the towns I went
to 1 think the people had an idea
that was a sort of strolling minstrel
and that my niggers were my "com-
panions in a show!" Two of the
darkies in my quartette used to be-
long to my people. I use them to IL
lustrate my work and to sing like
the old time negro, and they are just
as respectful to me-both on and on
the stage-as they were when they
were slaves. My darkies are not OF
the new issue, free niger" variety
If they were, they wouldn't be with
me. At Orangeburg, Batesburg, and
Aiken, l lost a lot of money, but
think the people (now that they know
me) would turn out largely if went
again.
Bamberg turned out well and the
people treated me all right and seem
ed to enjoy my entertainment, and If
I ever go to South Carolina again
you may look out for me, for I would
never pass that town If I could help
it.
Remember me most kindly to all
the old rebs and the Daughters OF

the Confederacy (God bless 'em all.)
Tell 'em that they are what we fought
for, died for, and live for, and I
hope some day to see monument
raised to them which will eclipse
anything else ever seen on this earth
in the way of a memorial. When l
saw the monument at Marion, s. c., I
read on it the following inscription
to the Confederate soldiers there:
1--WE prosper to-day, because they
taught us to suffer and grow!" How
true that is, for had it not been for
the fact that we suffered in the field,
in the hospitals, and in the prisons,
while our noble women at home suf-
fered the hardships of assuming the
cares of the family, running the
home, while their husbands, sons
and brothers were away, and each
moment were in expectation OF some
dreadful tidings of wounds or death,
we could not have stood the terrible
days which came after the war, and
known as "the days Of reconstruc-
toni" God never made nobler wo-
men, and we are to-day "prospering
through all this and we deserve it.
And furthermore, we of the South
will soon be the richest, strongest
section of these United States-f1-
nancially, politically, and socially
and we are going to control the
whole country again, as we did from
1776 to 1865.
Good bye, and God bless you, and
I hope you'll excuse the little bit OF
dollar which I send, but it will
help to put in few bricks to the
monument to our noble boys.
Yours sincerely,
POLK MILLER.

enough to make you hit the high
spots"

It was. Charlie got loose from
the boys after while, and then he
went about town with the air Of
gent with something on his mind.
The person he was looking for re-
mained in seclusion until after the
roundup left, and then he sent a
man to Charlie to try to explain and
apologize for him. The answer he
got Influenced him to keep out OF
Charles sight afterward.
You could call Charlie certain
names if you knew him well enough,
but it wasn't worth while any time.
If you felt like running bluff on
him you wanted to have all your lit
tie affairs Strengthened out. They
are talking about that down around
Princeville, Oregon, yet, and it's a
long way back to the old trail in the
days of 1885.
Hank had come bulging into
Princeville with something in his
system that demanded action and
plenty of it. Noting an unmistakable
tenderfoot about Hank gave him some
exercises in the dancing line, in the
course of which he shot the heels
off the tenderfoot's boots. This sat
isfied the tenderfoot, but it no more
than suggested further possibilities
to Hank. He prowled over into the
Palace saloon, looking for a card
game. That was his favorite meth
cd of inaugurating the little affairs
he enjoyed. Knowing this and like
wise knowing Hank, the populace de-
clined cards.
This didn't improve Hanks tenn
per bit. He was altogether mis-
anthropic when he came into the
place that happened at the same time
to be Inhabited by Long. The latter
knew all about Hank, and seemed
to be glad to have him come along,
not having anything else on his mind
just then. Hank was not so well
acquainted with Longs reputation.
When Long suggested game,
without waiting for an invitation,
Hank complied with a snort of con-
tempt. He probably figured this as
his only chance and a poor one at
that. Drawing out pack of cards
he sat down on the floor, and Long
camped right there with him.
This aroused some hope in Hank.
Taking a knife from his sheath he
calmly thrust the long, keen blade
through Longs trouser leg, pinning
him to the floor. Long followed suit,
pinning Hank to the floor through the
leg of his new buckskin pants. Pru-
dent bystanders began to edge toward
the door. This was an excellent
thing to do. Nobody had ever before

New Bed Needed.

During the days Of gold fever In
California" said an old sea captain.
"our ship was so crowded that you
could hardly get a place to sleep.
Captain said a man when we were
three days out, I have just got TO
have some place to sleep
"Where have you been sleeping?
I asked.
"T have been sleeping on a sick
man. the passenger said, but he's

taken such liberties with Hank. II
looked like a good bet on the sub
sequent burial of Long to everybody
except Long himself.
Charlie didn't seem to have any
better sense than to beat an ace full
on kings that came Hanks way. Then
the crowd got another jar. Hank
pulled his knife out Of the floor and
went outdoors. The bunch began to
wonder if the man who had faced
more gun plays than he had fingers
and toes had lost his nerve. It look
ed that way. They didn't have to
marvel over it enough to notice.
Hank hunted up one of the Mat
lock boys and bought fast horse
from him. He also gave Matlock $50
to hold the horse at the corner near
the saloon. He said he had a kill
ing on and might have occasion to
leave in a hurry. Then he went back
to the saloon. Long leaned quietly
against the bar with his face to the
door. He seemed to be expecting
something, although wholly indiffer-
ent to what it might be.
Vaughan walked straight up to
him and said:
you'd make a good sheepherder,
Long"
A quicker way of getting gun
powder out of a cowboy than calling
him a sheepherder was never invent
ed. And the two understood each
other and the situation perfectly.
you'd make good cannonader in
b, Vaughan" Long answered.
This appeared to suggest arid pos
sibilities to Hank. Lets have a
drink" he advised. Everybody pres
ent with nerve enough to see the
thing farther accepted. The rest got
out as quietly as possible. Hank
watched Long drink, and he didn't
see a drop stopped on the bar from
nervousness.
(Which is it, peace or war;"
Vaughan demanded when they put
down the glasses.
They both sound alike to me, "
Long answered.
That brought the affair down to
cases for Hank, and he pulled his
gun and fired a shot that went over
Longs head. In the rush Of bar
tender and customers getting out of
range Long let go with his A and
cut a streak across Hanks scalp.
Hank went over against a card table
and Long waited. He seemed to re-
gard the engagement as mutual in
every respect.
Hank came back on his feet with
rush, brushed the blood out of his
eyes and cut loose. Long came back
shot for shot, but he was shy on
gun-fght judgment. He hadn't been

AFTER HORRIBLE "HussiEs.'


At the national conference Of Jew
ism charities, now being held In New
York City, steps have been taken for
establishing a sort of clearing house
for tracing deserving husbands and
prevailing upon them to resume their
legal and moral obligations. 1t is a
fact well known to charity organiza,
tons everywhere that a large part
of the poverty and suffering with
which they have to deal are due to
the fact that the head of the house.
hold, with a very adjustable con-
science, has slipped away and left
wife and children to provide for
themselves as best they can. 1t is
pointed out that the enactment of a
law in New York state in 1905 max.
ing child abandonment felony has
done a great deal toward diminishing
the suffering due to this particular
crime. 1t seems to follow that the
extension of the same principle to
the husband who deserts his wife and
family would have beneficial result
The association in question propos-
es to establish, through the co-opera-
ton OF Its various branches in the
United States, a means of locating
these delinquent husbands and requfr{
Ing them to provide for the families
they have abandoned. Under the
plan proposed the constituent soci.
eties Of the conference would send
to the central bureau a full descrfp-
ton of the deserters whose families
have applied for assistance. Upon
receipt of this information the bu
reau would send copies of each report
TO other constituent societies, lodges
and benefit organizations; so that as
q whole a network would be woven
about the delinquent wherever he
might be. It Is further proposed to
enlist the services of local attorneys
who would agree to prosecute such
offenders whenever called upon By the
bureau to do so.
There Is no reason why this plan
Should be confined to the Hebrew aid
societies. although, by common con.
sent. they stand in the very forefront
IN the matter of charitable relief, IfI
the plan could be made SO conapre-
hensive as to include all charitable
societies the chances are that THE de-
serters who leave their families to the
mercies Of the world would be greatly
diminished and one of the most seri.
Gus problems with, which organized
CHARITY has to contend would be in a
large measure solved.
