Keeping Chickens.

Laudatory remarks about Black Or
pingtons, Plymouth Rocks and other
fancy breeds of fowls few days ago
reminded Congressman Henry Allen
Cooper of a chicken dinner in Mary
land.
The dinner, the congressman said
was given by a colored man named
Ebenezer White, and the guest OF
the evening was George Washington
Green, chief deacon of the little church
that White occasionally attended.
Grace, of course, was eloquently
said, and at its conclusion White be-
gan to carve the chicken. Then Dea-
con Green became facetious.
"Brudder White" he smilingly re-
marked, "do dat nAx' do neighbor OBJ
yon keep chickens?"
''No sah!" came the prompt response
of White, as he deftly pried loose a
well-roasted wing, "but he try hard

We have observed from certain cor

that the editor of the State does not
seem to have the opinion of the mayor
of Charleston that it appeared he had

The attack of the mayor OF Char-

to observe some matters which ema-

Mother Ksangaroo's Bravery.

During a severe drought in GER
tain section of Australia, the owner
of a country station was sitting one
evening on the porch when he saw a
kangaroo lingering about, alternately
approaching and retiring from the
house, as. if half in doubt and fear
what to do.
At length she approached the water
pals, and, taking a young one from
her pouch, held it to the water to
drink.
While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all
over with apprehension, for she was
but a few feet from the porch where
one of her foes was watching her.
The baby having finished drinking,
it was replaced in the pouch and the
old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace.
The spectator was so much impress
ed by the astonishing bravery of the
affectionate mother that he made a
vow--and kept it-never again to
shoot kangaroo.

We understand that the daily pa
ners are carrying a story from Co
1nmbia to the effect that the regents
of the State Hospital for the Insane
are considering passing resolution
requesting the resignation of Super
intendent Babcock.
We we're in Columbia few days
ago and heard nothing of this story
About January the regents passed a
resolution fixing the terms of the en-
nlovees of the State Hospital for the
Insane and notifying all of them that
elections would be held for their plac-
es on July /, but of course, this did
not include the superintendent, be-
cause he is appointed by the COVER
nor. AS we understood the action of
the regents at the time, it was for
the purpose of fixing the terms OF OF
fee of the employees rather than
meant as aimed at any one man, and
at that time, there was no intimation
that the regents would request the
resignation of DR.. Babcock.
We do not know what the attitude
of the governor is in the matter, but
we are sure it would be a mistake
for him to make a change in the su-
perintendent at the asylum. DR.. Bah
cock has had long experience in the
work and is greatly interested in it,
and stands today at the head amongst
the superintendents of similar institu-
tions in the United States, and is so
recognized. We don't believe that a
better or more competent man could
be found for the position and We can
see no reason for a change.
There may be reason for changes in
some of the employees of the institu-
tion, We do not know about that. That
is a matter in the hands of the man
agement of the regents, and we under
stand from their action and adver-
tisement that the election for employ
ees will be held on July 1.

time brings wonderful changes and
sometimes they come so fast that they
almost take our breath away. He who
rules it over US today is soon forgot

soon forsaken. Therefore, it does
very little good for any of US to get
puffed up with our own Importance,
for after all we are but grain OF

do get awfulIy puffed up with a little
brief authority. That, no doubt, IS
due largely to our training, and not
so much to our training either. You
know, it takes about four generations
to develop a gentleman, and he must
have the right sort Of training. Most
of us ''have been trained to false ideas
no, to perverted ideas-to system
of morality that's twisted to suit the
demands of practical life. On Sundays
we go to a magnificent church to
hear an expensive preacher and choir
go in expensive dress and in car
riages, and we never laugh at our
selves. Yet we are going in the name
of One who was born in stable and
who said that we must give everything
to the poor, and so on" And what
could we do about all of it. It's the
difference between theory and prac-
tice. And yet this game of success
