I saw that he did not make the blundcr Of

Certainly Bessie never had more de-
voted cavalier, and her mother was quite
taken with him, as he never failed to pay her
those little attentions which cost nothing,
which women who have passed the meridian
appreciate 50 much. On all her special an
niversarics Bessie had flowers or books or

Corlcars had asked him TO one Of their state
banquets, and old Corlcars, a verituble gen.
tleman of the dHCieH Rhyme, had an idea that
the occasion was one to offer congratula-
tons, although premature. But he pro-
duced the celebrated Corlelrs Van Twillcr
hook. Of which there were only about fifty
bottles in existence. The vine was served
as if it was religious rite, and we were all
told the history Of this precious vintage,
which dated back to the eighteenth century.
Benson, clatcd by his recent social Sue
cesscs, tossed off the sacred potion as he
would have a cocktail and then turned to
old Corlcars and TO our horror remarked,
"Vcrv good vine, indeed. Tell me where
YOU bought it, won't YOU? Would like to

arranged that Benson and Bessie should

Ago.
When the red man roamed the
hills and valleys of the country
was he troubled with disastrous
floods?
Some insist that he was. while
others claim to the contrary,
There is some justification for
both points of view. That foods
have been growing worse and
worse with each ensuing year
leads one to believe that there
must be a cause for this and
that, perhaps, one hundredyear5
ago there were no floods 9th
ers insist that in the early days
of the continents history the In
dians built mounds and camped
on the mounds during the flood
season. There is chain of old
Indian mounds which begin in
the upper Ohio valley and follow
the course of the valley to it's
junction with the Mississippi
Valley, and thence the chain con-
tinues far south.
These mounds were used for
other purposes. Some were bur-
ial grounds. In others have been
found stored implements of war
and domestic usefulness.
If there were floods in the val
ley. at this distant time there is
the logical conclusion that these
artificial reservations were used
as places of refuge until the wa
tiers subsidized.
Spring freshets there must
have been along the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers. Their tribu-
taries must necessarily have
overfowed their banks at times,
but it would be difficult, practi-
cally impossible, in fact, to find
any definite record of such floods
as we have had during the past
two years. The real floods along
the great watershed are of more
recent origin. They date back
to the time when the lumber
companies began their wholesale
destruction of the forests. Be-
fore that period there was no
appalling loss of life and proper
ty on the rare occasions when
the Ohio and Mississippi left
their banks, for the freshets
were moderated by the great re-
tanning reservoirs of the forests.

Protect The Southern Forests.

Protect The Southern Forests.
In every Southern state the
forests, next to the soil itself,
are the states greatest natural
resources. And in not a single
Southern state are there any
adequate laws for forest protec-
ton. Every year the South is
losing literally millions of dol
lars because of forest fires, reck-
less cutting, destruction OF
young forest growth, and de-
forestration of land that should
be allowed to remain in timber.
The supreme folly of continuing
such a state of affairs must be
apparent to any thinking man;
but no action is taken to rene
dy it. Nor will any be taken un-
til the farmers Of the South re-
alize that this loss falls upon
them with particular weight
and until they demand that their
legislators have the business
sense to provide for state pro-
lection and, if need be, oversight
T by the state, of the forests.
We are wasting one Of our
richest heritages with a reck-
lessness and a supplemented
ness almost unbelievable OF
grown-up men. Isn't it about
time for us to begin to think Sc
riously about the matter? -

certain death is deplorable.
A Juvenile neurotic, a storm
tossed little soul nearing imbe-
clllty through the carelessness
of an inhuman mother, is a sub
Ject well calculated to arouse
sympathy.
Il is not the fault of Mary
Flynn that she is what she j..
She does not know the cause Of
her present condition. Since She
Was a year old her mother has
fed her on morphine, until she is
now a helpless victim, who
means for the unknown powder
which brings her rest and sleep.
Just what to say of a mother
who, knowing full we'll the fatal
power Of the insidious drug, and
yet deliberately forces it upon
her own child, it is difficult to
determine. The poor woman
was no doubt half-crazed her
self. When the habit is once
formed the victim is helpless to
resist. However honest a man
or woman MAJ be, they will
stoop to any level, they will COM
NIT any crime, they will yield to
any temptation in order to Sc
cure the drug.
The mother Of Mary Flynn
has for years been addicted to
morphine. She has passed be-
You'd the pale of REDEMPTION.
She has given up the struggle
and has yielded entirely to the
influence of morphine.
What vagary OF her disorder
ed mind induced her to transmit
the habit to her helpless child,
it is impossible to say. It seems
that, fully realizing the horror
of the habit, the fatality of the
drug itself, she would have
through mother instinct shield
ed her baby from it's fearful in
fuence.
But drug fends are not nat
ural men and women. They live
in a world of dreams and half
the time do not realize what
they are doing.
In "John Cave" that weird
but fascinating story of w. B.
Trites, which has so thoroughly
aroused the EngllSn literary
world, there is just such type
wildly depicted as the mother
of Mary Flynn. Prudence was
not a mother, however, and she
had no little life to ruin. But
the inevitable ruin which comes
to every one addicted to the use
of drugs is pitilessly told, and
here we have an instance of it
before our very eyes.
The mother of Mary Flynn is,
possibly to be more pitied than
condemned. 1t is another of
the human tragedies.-Memphis

THE CHICKAMAUGA INDIAN
From all reliable accounts, the
Chlckamauga Indians caused
the white pioneers more trouble
and annoyance than all others
combined in this territory. They
were a worthless, murderous
tribe enlisted under their stand
ard every outcast white man
that came among them and
would promise to unite with the
Indians in their campaigns of
pillage and murder.
The Chickamaugas built vii
lage at the mouth of the Chick
amauga river, some five miles a.
bove the present city of Chat
tanooga. They had for a gener-
al hiding place, when too close
ly pursued by an enemy, a large
cave on the side of Sand noun
tain, thirty miles below Chat
tanooga. This cavern is known
as Nick-A-Jack cave and is in
plain view from the depot at
Shellmound, Alabama, on the
line of the Nashville, Chattan-
ooga & St. Louis railway. A
story founded largely on legend
has it that this cave was given
it's present name from the fact
that a runaway negro slave
from North Carolina made it his
hiding place. His name was
Jack. The Indians called him
"Nigger jack" ahd finally nam
ed the cave Nick-ANack Cave.
Nick-A-Jack cave iA one of the
largest caverns in the Cumber-
land range. The Indianslsed 1T
as strong place for the artio
stolen from the white man, aDd
for refuge in time of trouy e.
Finally, they built a village near
the cave and fortified it against
any hostile foe.
From the village near the mouth
of Chickamauga river, above
Chattanooga, theseIndians would
glide down the Tennessee in
their canoes, conceal themselves
in the numerous mountain cOves
and gorges below the present
site of the city, and pounce upon
'expeditions of white men or
gained to explore the river.
Whole families of white people
were butchered by these In
dams. Some of the stories Of
their murderous deeds have no
parallel in Indian warfare.
