of the old-time cooking at barbecues
and possum dinners, relics of the old
time chivalry when man rises on I
street car to give woman his seat
and relics of the old-time hospitality
when there are distinguished stran-
gers in our midst. but these are only
relics.
The old black nanny is the same
loving, lovable. proud, courteous
kind. gentle. reminiscent and idola-
trous worshiper of her white foxes
she was when her masters broad,
snowy acres stretched over the hori-
zon.
And she is more than this. She Is
a type the like Of which has not been
produced by any generation or civili-
cation since history began. While
not the most appealing to you and
me, this is the most striking and last
Ing fact that is embodied in the little
gray haired black nanny. that no
condition of society or set OF social
circumstances has ever brought forth
3 similar type, ana IN all proOdDillty
never will.
In the days when Rome was mis-
tress of the world slaves are said to
have died for their masters through
devotion and manly ambition for glory
upon the field of battle or at some
spectacular political climax. but
never has been recorded the true
mother love of a slave for the chill
dren Of an alien race of masters ex-
cept in our old black mammies. Born
upon the deathbed Of slavery. she
seems to have been brought into the
world ga the only sweet omen OF
more wholesome days to grow from
all the bitterness Of the passing Of the
regime of servitude.

FROG MIGRATION ODD SIGHT
Thousands of Them Hop Through
Streets Of Oregon City on
Short Cut.

klamath Tails, Ore.-Frogs, big and
little, treble and bass, paunchy, google
eyed old bullfrogs and slender. striped
little acrobats who were tadpoles last
spring, invaded this city the other
day by thousands, hopping solemnly
and earnestly through the streets on
their way to Lake Ewauna to upper
klamath Lake
Not AL Of them arrived, for they
are excellent trout bait, and all the
anglers who could possibly take day
off made the most of the supply. From
time immemorial the frogs have made
this annual migration.
They might follow the waterway
connecting the two II they chose, but
nobody knows when they discovered
an overland crosscut, three miles long.
and ever since they have stuck to it.
The fields vanished and the city
came. 1t made no difference to the
frogs. They continue to hop stolidly
each year over cobbles and asphalt,
through dust and across macadam, re-
CARELESS of men and horses or later
automobiles, bent only on their solemn
purpose
What impulse or signal determines
the migration is unknown. Apparent,
ly the army has no leader and it does
no foraging on the march. The next
day not frog was in sight, but there
arose at night great chorus of shrill
and rumbling BASES from the marshes

OF tobacco from any part Of Cuba;

cigars should really be called Cuban
cigars. and the cigars which the So

were made and smoked In that region.

NOT MEANT TO BE SERIOUS

Arrangement.

A large proportion of the duels in
France end without bloodshed. When
the offense IL not very serious 1t Is
agreed beforehand that the words oil

that the duelists will not have time
to take good aim. Sometimes three
shots are exchanged without a hit,
and then the seconds step in and
homo Is satisfied" At the word
Fire" the pistol is raised instantly,
and 1t must be discharged not later
than the word three" so the speed
with which these words are given
regulates the time in which 1t is pos
sible to take aim. Therefore the speed
with which they are spoken is agreed
upon beforehand, this depending upon
the seriousness Of the duel. The
words are timed with a metronome.

accurate aim. A speed of 140 beats a

therefore, is used when the seconds

The passing of the old black NAM
my marks the passing Of all the glory
that was in the life of the antebellum
south.
The old-time southern mansion,
which. with its wide and cool veran-
das, tall white pillars and green
blinds, was wont to nestle among the
oaks and magnolias. Is crumbling or
has been replaced with smart Ital-
Ian villa And in the place Of the
rows of hollyhocks and sunfiowers,
which bordered the rose garden where
the bees hummed a drowsy tune all
the day. there is a sunken garden
laid out formally-,just so-with a
pretty little fountain in the middle. A
steel windmill has replaced the mar
tin pole that stood by the path lead
ing to the spring at the foot OF the
hill.
The snow white acres Of cotton are
but half as large as they were in the
old days when they seemed to stretch
over the edge of the world, for the
modern Dixie farmer has newfangled
ideas-not that these ideas are bad
and King Cotton must share his do
main with the invaders, wheat and
corn. Even the faithful mule must
give place to steam drawn pillow and
cultivator.
The southern colonel has long since
ceased to embody the type that was
characteristic Of the life Of ease and
pomp of the old south. Farm labor
and an overseer and a corps Of do
nestle servants cost dearly, and the
war which made the typical planta-
ton owner and state politician the
colonel at the same time depleted his
means. At the close Of the war 1t
was necessary for him to be up and
doing. so that now he Is no longer
the type, but has become the captain
of industry of the south.

helped to spread the fame Of the south

recipe has been lost. A French menu

warn my countrymen that the
great recent progress made in city
life Is not full measure Of our civil
lization, for our civilization rests at
bottom on the wholesomeness, the at
Effectiveness and the completeness, as
well as the prosperity Of life in the
country. The men and women on the
farms stand for what Is fundamentally
best and most needed In our American
life. Upon the development Of coun-
try life rests ultimately our ability, by
methods requiring the highest intelli-
gence, to continue to feed and clothe
the hungry nation; to supply the city
with fresh blood, clean bodies and

in the past the stay and strength OF
the nation.-Theodore Roosevelt.
