of an ole Indian chief, learning from
the old warrior legends OF Indian ro-
nance.
With the old Indian he padded along
the shores in an ancient canoe and
learned TO sing songs once sung by an
extinct tribe.
On still, moon-lit nights he loved TO
roam over the plantation singing weird,
wild snatchss OF song, and the negroes
would stand before their cabin doors in
ecssacy upon hearing the young mas

The clock in the druggists bedroom
had just struck the hour of 8, when a
sharp clang came from the night bell.
Hurriedly jumping out of his warm
bed to the freezing floor, the druggist
slipped into his slippers and great-coat
and went to answer the call OF human

SKETCH FROM LIFE.
Written for The Sea Coast Echo by
MRS. GERTRUDE cowaND PENNEY.

He played about in the cotton fields.
He nestled and rolled about the plan
tation grounds with Aunt Crecie's
pickaninnies. Together they clustered
around old Uncle Tom and listened to
his blood-curdling tales Of the spooks
that wandered through the orchard in
search of little boys who stcle fruit.
He would sit for hours watching the
slaves hoe cotton and learned their
plaintive melodies. Sometimes at sun
set, tired of play, he would sauntef
along the beach and gaze dreamily out
over the great waters. Did his child
ish eyes seek to read the mysteries of
life in secrets from the sea /? And then
He walked beside his father DER the
fields and woods that were some day to
become his own. AT night, before the
great old fire place, ne listened to bis
fathers war stories and gazed rever-
emily upon scar left by sabre wound
upon the old gentleman's noble brow,
which he had received in the battle of
New Orleans. How he longed for
dash upon the field of battle amid the
thunder of cannon and the din of mus
kerry. >.
He would penetrate the depths OF the
forest and swamps beside the bent form

had laid his mighty hand upon his curl
ing locks and said. "Colonel, this son Of
yours must some day be soldier" and
his father had bowed his head solemnly
in assent.
So he donned the gray and beside his
young friends marched away to the
sound of martial music. The memory
Of his mother and father. sleeping the
last sleep away back among the plan
tation pines, seeming to inspire him on
to bravery. And then
A calm night. The waves rippling
musically along the sands. A moon
sailing high ia the heavens; whip
poor-will chanting in the willow over
hanging the bayou. Silvery light and
shadows dancing over the battered walls
of the deserted old plantation homes.
A gentle breeze from the sea signing
through the shutterless negro cabins.
Now and then sobbing sound from
amid the forest pines-and then silence.
He has returned, and only Mother
Nature bids the broken-hearted soldier
welcome into the once happy home of
his childhood. He kneels before the
threshold. Tattered and torn is the
gray coat. and forever the Cause is
Lost. Despair reigns. And then
The burden Of life is bravely shoul-
dered again. He seeks and finds the
ideal that for years had lived in his
heart, and happiness once more comes
fitting back.
Strange voices sound through the old
home, and another masters footsteps
echo through the halls Of his ancestors.
He lives in cottage the cottage he
was bora in. With her he sees life in
the sweetest, holiest light. Two little
ones grow up and run gaily reside him
over the fields and through the fore ,ts
of his boyhood. From bis lips they
learn legends of the surrounding ceun-
try as handed down by tradition. Be-
fore the winter fire he tells them war
stories and tales Of his boyhood. AS
time passes, he lives over his youth
again in his own son.
Summer nights, when the moon
flooded the shores with her silvery light,
he would wander beside the margin Of
the water and sing snatches Of Hierd
Indian airs, old negro melodies, and
parts of operas in the voice time and
sorrow had seemed to render sweeter
and more musical. When he ceased,
the shores would echo with the applause
of neighbors, who would listen eagerly
co the exquisite tenor. And then
He is dying, and the once brilliant
mind is weak and wandering He seems
to be again with Stonewall Jackson in
the Shenandoah Valley and shouts for
victory; then the despair OF Gettysburg.
Again padding along the shores with
the old Indian chief, and he sees his
mother, smiles and dies. And now
The old pines srill keep guard over
the tomb OF the old master, and nearby
rests the son. The whippoor-wills still
chant in the same old willow, and the
waves still sing their monotonous strain
along the shores that no more echo the
sound OF q voice that is silent, but the
old -time negroes fancy they still hear

MICROBES AURK IN

Surgeon General Blue Declares LuncI
Counter Receptacles Are
Carriers of Diseases.

Washington, Nov 26.-SurgeeH
General Rupert Blue. of the United
States Marine Hospital Service, to
day declared that loaf sugar bowls
in lunchrooms and cafes were very
probable carriers of many diseases
He believes that means should 81
taken by restaurant proprietors T.
keep their sugar covered and compe!
the customers to use sugar tongs In
stead of their fingers when helpin'
themselves to loaf sugar.
ut seems to me that the open-loa'
sugar bowl is very probable carrie
of numerous diseases" said DR.. Blue
eft seems to have become a CONNER
custom for restaurant patrons to usF
their fingers instead of sugar tongs
Their fingers are bound to touch
many Jumps Of sugar besides the one
which they use.
Persons with tuberculosis an6
other contagious diseases are liable
to convey them when thus puttinf
their fingers into the bowl. In view
of these facts 1t seems that the loose
sugar bowl is far more healthy To-
use in restaurants, because 1t is gen
orally covered and patrons use
spoons.
IF the loaf sugar bowl were abol.
ished, it seems that a great source
of danger would be done away with
