gets however that his forefarhers

but never thought of replenishing,
are exhausted. Ihave seen hundreds
of acres ofcorn and oats that will not
yield more than 6 or Z bushels per
acre. To a tiller Of the soil in the
north this would be an improbable
proposition.
Since they try to avoid exertion
any more than absolutely necessary,
they comfort themselves with tits

alone. AS long as his shack does not
fall upon his head, and his fields still
yield enough for seed. he'll keep on.
1.-The Southernor also seems not to
regard the beautiful. There are
few flowers found on either country
or city lawns. Nor do their parks
compare in artistic ideas with those
Of the north. With regard to their
farms they have no thought of the
beautiful whatever. They take no
pride in trying to make their fields
all in one piece. 1t consists of little
patches and some are so small that
the darky with his mule can hardly
stand on the same patch at the same
time. And if they should decide to
clear up a new patch, they cut out
the under brush, cut the trees dry
and then plant their corn and cotton
around them. Too lazy to remove
the trees! Can you beat it? But
they do have regard for the beauti-
Jul on their own person; for they
owe to dress well. | presume they
feel that they must do this to hold
heir claims to their craftsmanship.
To my mind the great mistake of
he south was the importation of the
African race. 1t developed the feel
ng in the white race that they are
he gentlemen-not intended for
work., rendering them from COM
nercial point of view a valueless
product. And the negro. coming
rom dark Africa. is SO primitive in
lis conceptions of civilization and so
destitute of ambition, that he never
will be off any real commercial value
o the South. Yea, the south is still
from the curse of the slave
raffic and will suffer from it for
to come.

REAL WEATHER SIGNS
These Are Time Tried And
Never Fail To Work
Sometimes

Out of the experience of the race
many old sayings about weather signs
have arisen. Some of them are too
local to be trustworthy, others are
general enough to fit the average
conditions. For example, the fol-
lowing old saying fits pretty closely
in the summer time:
Rain before Z. clear before IL. !"
Almost every person has heard
the saying about rain and sun to-
gether, one version Of which is this:
If it rains and the sun is shining
at the same time, the devil is whip
ping his wife and it will surely rain
tomorrow"
Also the flight of swallows is re-
garded as a weather test by many.
as set forth in the old saying:
Swallows flying low are a sign OF
rain; flying high, sign Of clearing
weather"
There are other weather sayings,
most of which seem to be based on
experience. and pretty likely tocome
true in the majority of cases.
When the dew Is on the grass
Rain willnever come tcpass;
When the grass Is dry ct night
Look for rain before the light:
When grass Is dry before morning light
Look for rain before the night.
Evening red and morning gray
Sends the traveller on his way:
Evening gray and morning red
Sends the traveller home 10 bed.

WRITES OF SOUTH
Former Middle Greek Pastor
Writes Letter to Gazette
From New Orleans

Rev. G. j. Krienke, formerly pas
tor of the Middle Creek church. is
making an extended trip through
the United States. From New Or
leans he wrote the following letter
to The Gazette and enclosed it with
one to F. M. Shoemaker. through
whose kindness The Gazettereceived
it.
IF in the days of King Solomon it
was true as hesays: THERE'S moth
ing new under the sun, how much
more must it apply to this age of
discoveries, inventions and extensive
travelling. And still as welivelarge-
ly on repetitions, and as sightseers
do not all see things just alike, much
less interpret them in the same way.

readers Of the Gazette.

world? Ireplied, mo only around
the moon.' And ''The South is
my first quarter.
The advise to the ambitious youth:
Young men go West, could hardly
be applied to the South. The first
impression that the northern tourist
receives is that the South is lacking
in ambition. Thegeneral impression
in the north is that this is due to the
excessive heat. This is true in part,
but it's not the sole cause: For dur
ing the two days that / entin New
Orleans did not perspire asmuchas

cause is the feeling of class distinc-
tions, caused by the negro inlporta-
ton.
The white planter looks at himself
as the gentleman, who is above la
boring, and upon the negro as the
burden bearer. He seems to assoc
ciate labor with the darky and hates
both alike. AS he looks down upon
work, and as the labor Of the negro,
even at only dollar a day is not pro-
fitable; for the darky is asslow as the

Erb In Minneapolis
Mr.. Erb, with the other eastern
financial men and severalsecretaries,
was in Minneapolis last week, after
a western trip which included a run
over the major portion of the Mime
apolis & st. Louis and Iowa Central
lines.
Immediately upon his arrival at
the office of vice president Bierd,
Mr.. Erb put his O. K. on an order
for twelve new locomotives and
signed appropriations totaling $780,
900, principally for track improve
ment and other work along the line
Found Crops Good
II came west to find by persona

crops in our territory warrants the
undertaking of extensive new work

a company to build the new line. 1t
is impossible to give details yet, or.
the route of the new line. but it will
be from some point near WATERFOWL
nor Inward.
1.-THE crop that is now promised
means that equipment and motive
power will be needed to handle it,
for that reason we have just bought
twelve new locomotives. The ex-
penditures that have been authorized
atthis meeting amount to consider
able. We are going to keep the
property up to condition and be
ready to handle the crop"
May Make Traffic Agreement
Mr.. Erb's announcement is the
first authoritative statement as to
the new route. and the meeting was
the first active move towards getting
the construction started.
It is understood that traffic

ton of the new line, but on this mat

The fisherman is, of course, akeen
student of weather conditions, as
they affect his fayorite sport. EY-
cry locality has its maxims about the
moon, the wind. and the rain. But
there seems to be a general preju-
dice against the east wind wherever
the east wind blows. And this pred
JUDGE is of~long standing, as shown
by various jingles of undoubted an
tiquity. Perhaps the most familiar
Of these is this one:
When the wind is in the north,
The skilful fisher goes not forth:
When the wind is in the east
1t is good for neither man nor beast;
When the wind is in the west.
Then it is at its very best;
When the wind is in the south,
It blows the bait in the fishs mouth
Here is one from an old German
source:
When the wind is east and the sun shines
bright,
Bear in mind the fish won't bite:
But If you ask. What wind is best?'.
I'll answer. From either south or southwest"
Here are two verses of a long
poem that dates back nearly to-
1860:
But If the weather stedfast be and ciearer
Or o'ercast with cloud, SO it be dry
And that no signe or token there appears
OF threatening storm through the empty skie
But that the ayre is cleare and void of fear
OF rufiing winds or raging tempesthie,
Or with mild and gentle gale they blow,
Then it is good unto the brooke to goe.
All winds are hurtful If too hard they blow,
The worst of all is that out of the east,
Whose nature makes the fish to biting slow.
And let's the pastime most of an the rest
The next that comes from countries clad in snow,
An antique pole is not offensive least.
The southern wind is counted best Of all.
Then that which rises where the sunue
doth fall.

VOICES.


All day with anxious heart and
wondering ear
! listened to the city; heard the
ground
Echo with human thunder, and
the sound
Go Keeling down the streets and
disappear.
The headlong hours in their wild
career
Shouted and sang until the world
was drowned
With babel voices, each one more
profound,
All day it surged-but nothing
could / hear.
That night the country never seem
ed SO still,
The trees and grasses spoke
without a word
To stars that brushed them with
their silver wings.
Together with the moon climbed
the hill
And in the very heart of silence
heard
The speech and music of immor-
tai things.

Magazine.
