A MODEL HUSBAND

Having had for 22 years the
only model husband in captivi-
ty, | will not have to draw on
my imagination to answer this
question.
He remembers flowers. candy

me a private bank account and
shows no curiosity as to how |
spend the money. He admires
me more in my new gown than
my old ones. He never admires
other women-audibly. He
likes the ties that | buy him so
much that he asks me to keep

and politics to me as freely as

believing more in example than
precept.
With all these amiable quail
tiles, he is far from being un-
der my thumb. He is head of
his house. Although my word
is law in small affairs of "the
firm" | could as easily wheedle
Gibraltar from its position as |
could influence him against his
better judgment or his sense of
right.
In fact, all the praise which
has been showered upon the
President-elect might be ap-
piled to my model husband and
be hopelessly inadequate!

PROCLAMATION!
-1Of the New Village, and the
New Country Community, as
Distinct From the Village.

This is year of bumper
crops, of harvest-home festi-
walls. Through the mists of the
happy waning year, a new viii
lage rises, and the new country
community, in visions revealed
to the rejoicing heart of faith.
And yet it needs no vision to
see them. Walking across this
land | have found them, little
ganglions of life, promise of
thousands more. The next
generation will be that of the
eminent village. The son of the
farmer will be no longer Gazzled
and destroyed by the fires of
the metropolis. He will travel,
but only for what he can bring
back. Just as his father sends
halfway across the continent
for good corn, or melon seed, so
he will make his village famous
by transplanting and growing
this idea or that. He will make
it known for it's pottery or its
professions, it's philosophy or
its peacocks, it's music or it's
swans, it's golden roofs or its
great union cathedral of all
faiths. There are a thousand
miscellaneous achievements
within the scope of the great
hearted village. Our agricul-
tural land today holds the plow-
boys who will bring these bene-
fits. / have talked to these
boys. | know them. | have
seen their cleaning eyes.
And the lonely country neigh
borhood, as distinct from the
village, shall make itself fa-
nous. There are river valleys
that will be known all over the
land for their tall men and their
milk-White maidens, as now for
their well-bred horses. There
are mountain lands that shall
cultivate the tree of knowledge,
as well as the apple tree. There
are sandy tracts that shall con-
stantly ripen red and golden
citrus fruit, but as well, philo-
sophers comforting as the
moon, and strengthening as
the sun.
These communities shall have
their proud circles. They
shall have families Joined
hand in hand for generations,
to the end that new blood and
new thoughts be constantly
brought in, and no good force
or leaven be lost. The country

PHILOSOPHY OF A LIFE

There are characters so great
that their memorials are trib-
utes to those who rear them. 1t
it so with Abraham Lincoln,
whose birth was celebrated last
Wednesday. To preserve a fame
that is undying, the appropria-
tion by Congress of $2,OO0,OOO
was not needed. AS proof of a
nations grateful appreciation
it was wise and generous.
We hear much these days of
philosophy, most of it not un-
derstandable. There are So
cletles that study profoundly and
profess to comprehend. These
circles are small and the results
that they gain are uncertain.
But the philosophy of a life
like Lincoln's takes hold upon
millions; it abides in the hearts
and minds of men; it influences
nations; it inspires whole races.
In comparison with it what
other is worth while?
Born in wretched poverty, an
ill-favored child upon whom and
whose parents our learned pro-
fessors would have frowned.
and always poor, he has been
numbered with the greatest of
the earth.
Never in his lifetime regard
ed as an orator, he is enrolled
among the most gifted pleaders
of all ages.
Never educated, never widely
read, never a traveller, he is
conceded to have been one of
the wiseSt of men.
Never a trained soldier, he
commanded in war greater
armies than any monarch or
general.
Never having had more than
local celebrity as a lawyer, he
had conceptions of Justice that
were unknown to distinguished
juristS of his time.
Never assuming to be a
statesman or an economist, and
never until his call to the presi-
dency a successful manager of
any enterprise, he became a
ruler who will be celebrated for
ever for wisdom, sagacity and
.rmness.
Never the author of a verse.
ne has given us poetry in prose
that is imperishable.
The humblest, the least asser-
tive of men, it fell to him in an
hour of crushing responsibility
as commander-in-chief, by the
sovereign stroke of pen, to
put human slavery in the way
Of extinction.
There is no obscurity in the
philosophy of such low, rich or
poor, wise or simple, strong or
weak. 1t is the hesh-and-blood
life, the life of struggle, sorrow
and achievement. It's lessons
are for all.
What have science, reason
and recondite theory to offer in
place Of such a life? Nothing
but words, most of them mean
lngless New York World.

A LETTER OF HISTORIC INTEREST

The following letter written
by the late B. H. Massey, a
member of the famous Wallace
House, which was found among
his effects by his son, Mr.. Henry
Massey, will be of interest to
our older citizens who knew
him well. Mr.. Massey was an
uncle of our townsman, Mr.. T.
M. Hughes, and did heroic work
in York county for the re-
.3demption of the state from rad
ical rule. Mr.. Massey's service
in the house was during the
time of the dual government in
Columbia, headed by Hampton
!, and Chamberlain. The letter
is as follows:
Dec. 2, 1863 A. M.
Drakeford, Massey & Co.,
Fort Mill, S. G..
We were in session all night
and likely to remain SO for sew
eral days. The Republican side
was very stiff yesterday even
ing, but tempered down consid-
erably last night and seems to
be very quiet this morning.
Discussions have ceased on both
sides at present. We think we
have exhausted that point. We
are now trying other and l hope
more effective means. The mill
tary failed to appear to put us
out yesterday, and now the i'm
preston is they will not eject
us from the hall. If they do not,
we are masters of the situation.
The Republicans did not can
vass the votes yesterday for
governor, according to their
appointment, postponed until 2
o'clock today, and | don't think
they will reach that point to-
day. The difficulty with us is
we have no recognition from
the senate, they having recog-
nized the other side of the
J. house. If we are under the ne
cessity of retiring from this hall
we will have to create senate
before we can operate. We have
IL Democratic senators seated
and three who have not yet been
seated. That number does not
constitute quorum, conse-
quently we would not have a
lawful assembly; but if the
worst has to come to the worst
we will have to take that course
and organize a bogus senate.
That we are trying to avoid if
possible, and that will be our
last resort, for we are now in

The Greatest of Living Repub-
licanS.

1t is to be regretted that the
hard-and-fast rules of orr
choice of Congressman by dis
trlcts are to deprive the coun-
try of the advices of joseph G..
Cannon. He is the greatest of
all living Republicans. Whether
his party is in a majority or a
minority, he belongs in the
House of Representatives and
should be there as long as he
lives. In England such a man
could not be retired while his
party controlled a single con-
stituency.
Mr.. Cannon is the greatest of
living Republicans because in
point of service, ability and con-
sistency he outclasses all his as
sociates. He adheres to the
whole body of the party's faith.
He abates nothing. From Lin
coin to Taft, whether upholding
human rights or sacrificing
them, the party in his estima-
tlon has been right, and he
would not evade responsibility
for one of its acts.
While The World has not
been able to agree with Mr..
Cannon very often, it respects
his courage and his freedom
from cant and humbug. Many
a more dangerous PARTISAN has
made greater prtentions to
piety and virtue. In it's present
temper the country is properly
pmcllned to turn its back upon
Mr.. Cannon's party, but the
part yitself never needed him
more than it does today.-New
York World.
