FINE For THE HEAT

From the WorIand (Wyo) Cult.
Pancake Pete, sheep herder, whose
luxuriant whis1ers, extending to his waiss,
and which in variety of tint and shade al
most rival the aurora borea1is, had, a
few mornings ago, an experience that
proved the unitarian as well as the aes-
thetic value of his hirsute adornments.
The sheep, starting out earlier than usual,
had gone a considerable distance before he
had finished his breakfast. Hastily fn-
ishing his meal. and not waiting to reach
for cup, Pete picked up large basin in
which he had melted some snow, took a
drink and started after the band. A guam
tity of water had splashed over his whis-
kers Pete lad not gone far until his
whiskers We're frozen into solid mass a
couple of inches thick As he reached the
crest of a ridge a shot rang out and a
bullet struck the mass OF whiskers
squarely over his heart. But the impene-
trable slab turned the steel missile aside
like Harveyized armor plate. causing it
according TO Pete) to embed itself at least
an inch in n sandstone rock by his side.
The shot was fired at coyote by neigh
boring herd y who had not seen Pete ap-
preaching.

Ban on Dancing

That there must be something more
than appears on the surface attending
these new dances known as the 'tur-
key trot and tango is evidently the
cause of their condemnation by the
prelates and priests of the Catholic
church." said professional man.
1T is true these dances have come
in for a good deal of criticism, some of
it far from complimentary to the par
ticipants, but now they are pronounced
sinful. and to indulge in them carries
with it the seyerest consequences
known in church discipline.
THE tendency OF mirth to degenerate
into folly. and folly into sin is well
recognized, but when this tendency is
actually encouraged, as it appears to
have been at some of those soceity
parties where the lights were turned
off while these dances were being
danced there is no need to hold back
any longer from joining with the
Catholic church in the condemnation.
women are the arbiters in all mat
ters of social entertainment and it is
upon them the censure will fall If there
be misconduct or impropriety among
those who take part in these enter
tainments. Music and dancing have al
ways been associated with occasions of
enjoyment where young people We're
assembled, but 1t is simply reducing
refined and exhilirating form of en-
joyment to a knock down and drag
out scuffle when squealing. screaming,
shouting and stamping (and all this In
the dark) are the features introduced
to give an added spirit and zest to the
fun.
Among the signs of the times there
is none more Indicative of the future
than the form of amusement which
most appeals to the people The spirit
of unrest is abroad like Proteus, it
takes many shapes. and one of them is
dancing"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-07-07
The Dog DAYS

The canicular days-otherwis dog
days-are so called because in July
and August the dog star rises and sets
with the sun. Until comparatively
recent period it was generally be-
lieved, even among enlightened peo-
pie, that there was evil portent in the
dog star. Fevers, plaques, suicides
and divers troubles that were preva-
lent in midsummer were traceable to
this star.
Were the old idea prevailing now
some of the sensations in Washing
ton-David Lamar and other revela-
tions adding to the gayety of nations
would have been connected somehow
or other with the dog days.
But since the old superstition has
disappeared under the white light of
science we have now only the dog
days to joke about. 1t used to be that
the real dog days were, in the popular
mind, confined to August-those sui
try, sickening days although some
ancient authorities have reckoned the
period from early in July.
The long hot spell in our midst has
been calculated to put ordinarily
good tempered people in fret
full humor. But this is a good
summer, scorching hot though it
has been, for the heat has made the
corn and cotton grow. If, however,
this trying temperature were to last
much longer some Of the credulous
among US might think that after all
the dog star story was true and that
the torrid weather came along with
the dog star to enervate and plague

Governor Mann Right

Governor Mann of Virginia, like
other good Confederate Veterans who
participated in the exercises at Gettys-
burg last week, was glad to touch
elbows with those who wore the blue,
but he never advocated "a reunion of
the armies of the north and south" in
Richmond in 1915, on the fiftieth an
niversary of the evacuation of the
Confederate capital. He was falsely
reported and the denial which ap-
peared in the Associated Press dis
patches on Sunday made his position
clear There was, says Governor Mann,
absolutely no foundation for the state
ment that he advocated "such re-
union" The Gettysburg gatherings
friendly gathering of American citi-
zens who were soldiers in both armies
on the field of war--was as the Vir-
ginia governor maintains, "a very diff
ferent thing from the proposed cele-
bration of the passing and fall of the
Confederacy" He concludes by saying
that he participated with pleasure
and pride" in the celebration at
Gettysburg, but that "army reunion to
commemorate the fall and burning of
Richmond would be woefully inap-
propriate.'
Governor Mann is exactly right.
This country is firmly reunited. Sec
tionalism has been dead for some
years. The patriotic spirit is dominant
as never before. Fraternalism is in
order. There cannot be too much of
this fraternalism manifested But as a
matter of propriety-a matter of good
taste-a celebration at Richmond in
1915 would be out of the question. In
this connection, however, attention is
called again to suggestion made in
a Confederate memorial address de-
livered last spring by DR.. George
Petrie, dean of the academic depart
ment of the Alabama Polytechnic in
stitute, that the fiftieth anniversary
of peace between north and south be
celebrated on a large national scale.
Such an event, if observed in the ma
tional capital, would be most fitting.
1t could be arranged, just as the
Gettysburg celebration was arranged,
so that the sensibilities of neither side
in the historic conflict could be
touched. A golden jubilee of peace in
Washington would take we'll. Let such
movement be organized and rushed.
