A cUBIsT ROMANCE.

~HE cublst married the matisse maid'
A po%st-futurist marriage.
And honeymooning went. It's SAID.
In a wheelless. ~horSeless carriage.
A lovely picture was the bride.
She carried pea green tulips.
Her neck was in a bowknot tied,
And brilliant were her blue lips.
He gazed with wonder on her grace.
"Ah, how my being tingles!"
He cried. "some day I'll paint hat face
And bring out all the shingles"
She gave him. oh. so sweet a smile
Twas like a mauv tomato
And on her cheek there came the while
The tint Of the potato.
II love you. Cubey DEAR she said,
"As fshhooks love the rushes,"
Then shyly hung on biased head
To hide her yellow bushes.
II love you as the horseflies love
The eagle, only more so!'
And shed some sepia tears above
His terra Gotta torso.
He clasped her in his Slated arms.
And. needless Of reproofing.
He sang her highly colored charms
In terms suggesting roofing.
He painted them in dull dun brown.
In accents far from stolid.
And when he'd got the last one down
Not one but vas q solid.
.
A year passed by, and then there came
The harvest! Quien sabe!
The parents c~atalogued the same
As Just "a cubist baby!"
It had red ears. green lips, blue hair
Upon its little shock head.
With stats and shingles everywhere
A perfect little blockhead.

money for three months. and the in

was charged in advance. What the
negro said s. not printable, but he
did return to The hank and ask how
much money would be coming to him
If he had borrowed the money for
four mcnlhs. It was the telling Of
this story t"at suggested the follow

An old negro in Tennessee is noted
for his bargaining, He is always fear

the care Of the animal, ''but If you

FILLMAN CRITICIsEs BRYAN.
Says Secretary of State Should Quit
The Lecture Platform.

Washington, July 16.-Today's New
York Herald says:
Senator Tillman, who confesseS
that at one time he made $4,000 a
year on the lecture platform during
vacations of congress, said he never
had neglected his official duties to fill
lecture engagements. He regretted
Mr.. Bryan's dvotion to the platform.
'It is a perfectly legitimate way to
make money" he said, ''but I regret
to hear Of Mr. Bryan doing it. Just
at this time, when there is so much
important work before his depart
ment, 1 would prefer to have him stay
in Washington. He could better afford
to impoverish himself than to appear
to neglect his official duties.
"The impression prevails-though I
don't know how we'll founded it is
that Mr.. Bryan has made great deal
of money since 1895. He has publish
ed two or three books, owns the
Commoner, which has wide circu-
lation, and has lectured extensively.
I love the man so much I hate to
see him do anything that will belittle
him in the eyes of the people as this
certainly will do. While his speaking
tours will serve good purpose in
that ne always breaches true demo-
cracy, and patriotism and Christian
living, he can never again appear as
a knight errant of democracy"

Turned On the Joker.

The French critic, musician and
government official, Romieu, was fond
of joking. One of his diversions
amusing, but not to be commended
was to go into some shop where he
thought he was not known, and per-
plex the shopmeI by his questions
and remarks, says Tit-Bits
One evening he had taken good
deal of wine when he went into a
little watchmaker's shop, and, assum-
ing the accent and air of a country
man, said:
"sir, what do you call these little
machines hanging there?''

"Here is one for 200 francs, and

making them go?"
"No; they have to be wound up eV-
cry day with key"
"Will you show me how, sir?'
"This way. You see, it is not diff
cult"
"And must one wind it in the even
ing or in. the morning."
"You must wind yours in the morn
ing"
"Why in the morning"
Because in the evening you are
drunk, and NJ. Romieu, might break
it."

or more fights of stairs, the stage
furnished with dim fights and the
dressing room with nothing. In one
of these "opery houses" in South

manager found but one dressing
room-a large apartment beneath the
stage.
"Where are the dressing rooms? %
he wanted to know.

no doubt the loss of life in the Dar-

An Aged Mans Plea.
Mail.

Anderson Mail.
Gov. Blease has made an appeal to
the president of the United States
for clemency for Milton A. Carlisle of
Newberry. This is a most remark
able appeal in many ways. 1t comes
from one who has himself been mer-
ciful and has for the first time sought
pity he wishes mercy for his form
er client. 1t comes from the govern
or Of the State who has had many
bitter things to say Of the man from
whom he is now seeking leniency, and
therefore shows the governor in new
attitude.
When the governor had issued his
5OOth pardon and parole, this paper
called attention to the fact that, so
far, AS we then knew, not one had
betrayed the kindness and generosity
os the governor. We are of those
who dplore releasing so many pris-
oners, especially murderers, but the
governors treatment Of the prisoner
ers whom he has NJ feeeessdr
ers whom he has freed seems to have
been either very wise or very lucky,
and is food for serious thought. He
has reached the 700 mark and we
have heard of but one who "fell
down."
Prisons are made for correction ra-
ther than for punishment. The gov
ernment is stern but not brutal. If
the crime has been atoned sufficiently,
why not show mercy? Let this
poor old man escape the actual ply
sical confinement, Mr.. President. He
has suffered deeply in his soul. He
was charged with lettering his own
personal financial standing by using
the Office of president of bank
causing borrowers to pay him an ad-
ditional fee-but the record does not
show that the bank suffered. Listen
to the plea of the governor, Mr..
President, and the lesson of mercy
and pity and magnanimity will not
be lost upon the people of South Car
olina.
