TWAIN'S ERRAND

Mark Twain did not cherish a
fondness for the average office boy.
He had an idea that the genus was
and invariably when
the humorist sailed forth into some
business office, there was immediate
armed hostility between him and the
office boy.
One day Mark went to see afriend
at his office, and the office boy on
guard in icy tones, said:
Whom do you wish to see?"
Mark mentioned his friends name.
what do you want to see him
about?" came next from the boy.
Mark Twain Immediately froze up,
and then with a genial smile, he
said:
Tell him, please, l want to ask
his hand in holy matrimony."

of every sweet. innocent, dimpled
child, leaves the parents a priceless
heritage-a precious memory that
time itself cannot hange or obliter-
ate. Leigh Hunt, in his beautiful
essay on "The Deaths of Little Chill
dren" says:
Those who have lost an infant are
never, as it were, without an infant
child. They are the only persons
who, in one sense, retain it always.
The other children grow up to man
hood and womanhood, and suffer all
the changes of mortality. This one
alone is rendered an immortal child.
Death has arrested it with his kind
ly harshness, and blessed it into an
image of youth and innocence. OF
couse as these are the pleasantest
shapes that visit our fancy and our
hopes, they are the ever-smiling
emblems of joy; the prettiest pages
that wait upon Imagination. Lastly,
"Of all these are the kingdom of
heaven"
Time extinguishes all grief and
heals all wounds. 1t makes of the
death of older persons just an event
of the past. 1t even smoothes out
the wrinkled face of sorrow caused

NOTHING MORE PATHETIC

There is nothing more pathetic
than the death of little child, says
the Macon News. We feel toward a
man that has died that he has lived;
he has had his share of the worlds
joy and sorrows; he has had his
chance.
But child is not even yet on the
threshold of life. 1t represents the
age which the human mind most as
sociates with innocence. 1T is the
embodiment of all that is endearing.
The passing of any child, boy or
girl, is a tragedy, but when one dies
under aggravated circumstance
unexpectedly through sudden,
horrible accident-there breathes
not a man but what will sigh over
it and silently shed tear. If he be
a parent, he feels poignant sense
of sympathy for the bereaved father
and mother.
So it is that one has his sense OF
pity keenly touched by the account
of the death of the little daughter OF
a prominent Savannah lawyers
four-year-old child, who, crossing
the street to make a purchase at q
store, was run over and mangled by
car. This child, happily sc
numbed it felt no pain, was pre-
cocious enough to understand thai
death meant no more of life-meant
an eternal passing, mystery, 81
lence. 1t meant farewell from nam
ma and daddy and brother; and 81
we say there is something peculiarl.
sad in the account of this child'l
death. One feels a melting of tn,
heart and an overwhelming wave o
pity upon reading how the little
girl, with death approaching, kissed
her father goodbye and asked him t.
kiss the absent mother and brothers
for her.
But her death, as does the dealt

England's Mysterious
Engine OF Death

From time to time we have heard
stories of a mysterious engine of
death which England is alleged to
possess. 1t has been stated repeat
eddy that, should England desire to
do so, the nation could bring forth
this deadly agency and at one stroke
put forts, armies or warships out of
business. The agency in question
has been described as "Dundonald's
Secret War Plan" and for hundred
years it has been closely guarded.
The agency is said to be the inven-
ton of Admiral Thomas Cochrane,
tenth Earl of Dundonald, noted
warrior of his time, and in wars Of
the past century England has re-
fused to make use Of the device on
ground that it was inhuman. Now
that the Germans have begun the
use of Supplying gases England is
considering reprisals and, in this
connection, the mysterious agency
of Cochrane has again been brought
to light.
Cochrane publicly declared that
he could with the use of his inven-
! ton, destroy any fleet or fortress in
the world. He said it was an in
fallible means for England to secure,
at one blow, the worlds maratime
superiority and afterwards to main
tain it in perpetuity, of terminating
any war by one conclusive victory
A military and naval commission
appointed to investigate the device
reported that it was all that its in
ventor claimed for it, but inhuman
When Cochrane sought service
abroad he pledged himself to his
government not to use his terrible
Invention for any other country but
his own. 1t was kept in mind down
to the time of the Crimean war, but
he was not permitted to demonstrate
it against Cronstradt or Sebastopol
which he promised to reduce tC
ruins-again, because it was too in
human.
What is the nature of this awful
contrivance, capable of annihilatine
either armies, fleets or fortresses II
no time? Some day the historic
mystery will be dissipated, no doubt
as a matter of public interest, in ;
period of enduring peace, perhaps
when no harm can follow. 1t il

DOG VS.. MAN SENSE

The president of the Safety First
Federation of America advises us:
A dog no longer runs against or un-
der an automobile, as he did when
they appeared. He has changed his
whole attitude toward street traffic.
The average man has not changed;
he still goes wandering across the
street as he did when the traffic was
wholly made up of horse drawn ve-
hicles. On the other hand, the
traffic, as against the pedstria, has
grown aggressive and careless.

Rebuilding OF
Colon To Be On
Substantial Plan
(By Associated Press.

Colon, May 20 The rebuilding
of Colon, about half of which was
destroyed by fire on the afternoon
of April 80, is occupying the atten-
ton of both the government of Pan
ANA and of the Canal Zone authori-
ties. Both have committees which
will act jointly in the work of for
mulating plans.
The reason for the joint action is
that most of the island of Manzan-
lilo, on which the city is located, is
property of the Panama railroad,
the government of Panama owning
only about 100 lots. That part of
the city destroyed contains nearly
all of these lots.
A number of plans already have
been discussed with view to pre-
venting the recurrence of disastrous
fires.
One of the important things that
the committees will undertake to dc
will be the widening of certain
streets so as to form a fire barrier.
Strict building regulations are t.
be compiled and adopted by the
municipality. Hitherto there have
! been no restrictions whatever ex
cept regardin gsanitary require
ments. Any type of wooden hous,
was permitted.
The existence of two concret
buildings, the Masonic Temple ant
another across the street, is all tina

On To Richmond
Is The Slogan Of
Many SOuthernerS

The Confederate Veteran for May
may be called the Reunion Edition,
or the Richmond number. No old
Veteran can peruse it without hav-
ing the Richmond fever.
When one recalls what is to be
seen-the Washington monument
on Capital Square, the Lee monu-
ment grazing Lee Circle on Monu-
ment avenue, the Jefferson Davis
memorial, the Jackson statue on
Capital Square presented by an
Englishman as a tribute of admira-
ton for Stonewall Jackson, the Con-
federate monument in Hollywood
cemetery, that most beautiful of all
cemeteries, and that heart touch
ing Virginia Mourning
Over Her Dead"-when one recalls
these things the desire is irrepressi-
BILE to be there and take part in it
all-and
Watch the grand review
Of men who wore the gray.
Sometimes we say "the keys of
the city are yours, go where you
please" But as these old veterans
march the streets of Richmond they
can of right proudly exclaim: Clear
the way; clear the way; we are the
men from Manassas, Spottsylvania,
Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Gaines
Hill! Clear the way, clear the way;
we are the men who fought at
Shiloh, at Murfreesboro, at Frank
lin, at Atlanta, at Resacca, at
Brice's Cross Roads. Clear the way;
we are the men who fought at Gal
weston, at Mansfield, at Elkhorn, at
Sabine Pass, Clear the way
And in that grand review there
will be others than those who
fought and lived"
With slow and feeble step
The column passes by;
And as we gaze through tears we see
Another host draw nigh.
They come in phantom ranks
To join the grand parade;
They move with sound of mufflet
drum
And CLINT of flashing blade.
Marse Robert leads the van,
With Stonewall at his right,
They smile as the old brigade fall
1t never lost fight.
See yonder cavalier
With laughing, bright blue eye.
How gayly sings the Beau Sabreur
o, God, did Stuart die?
Sindey Johnston, gallant knight,
From Shiloh comes again,
Pat Cleburne with old Erin's voic
Is cheering on his men.
Pelham joins the spectral throng,
With Ashby by his side.

How hard, how fast they ride!
Brave Zollicoffer comes
From meath his native sod
To ride with sanity Polk VIII

For country and for God.
The Sothern lads file by
In numbers without ken.
Virginia's young cadets are there
Who fought the fight like men.
A faded, tattered thing
Droops DER them as they move.

The Stars and Bars we love.
There comes a blare above the dill

zines, and Jewish gold, committed
Franks sentence of death to one OF
life Imprisonment, after the trial jury
and every court of the land, to which
he could go, giving him a fair and i'm
partial trial, said he, Frank, was
guilty. And his crime was one Of
the most brutal ever perpetrated in
Georgia.
A man honored by the people with
the highest Office in the State, and in
whom we trusted to safeguard our
courts and enforce the laws, and to
whom we looked for protection of
our homes and loved ones, has be-
trayed that most sacred trust, tram
pied our laws under foot, insulted
our courts, slandered our people, and
disgraced our State. I say, having
done his dirty work and got away
with his bag Of filthy lucre, we did
hope we would not hear from him
any more, neither in the Frank case
or any other. But, after opening the
gateway to lawlessness and disorder,
leaving the people with no defense,
except to take the law in their own
hands to get justice, he continues to
add insult to injury, by his diabolical
1uSluudClOuS duu WduLOu m1SIGpI0-
sensations of the facts in the case.
Every lawabiding, liberty, home and
family loving citizen of Georgia
should publicly condemn in no uncer-
tain terms the infamous treachery of
John M. Slaton, not only in COM
muting Franks sentence, but every
thing he has said in support of the
act, since he left the State.
A canvass of three or four days,
and a poll taken of the citizens of
Fayette County, shows SO per cent of
them denouncing Slaton in the strong
est terms.
May your life be spared for many
years yet, so that you may stand on
the citadel of truth and defense Of
our people.
