there, however, | proceeded to solve
the problem that puzzled me away
back in childhood: what was that
wonderful perfumery on Nettie's hair
that made me distracted; that is like
a grass with sweet scent known as
vernal grass, and the scent which
even now thrills me to the core. And
what do you think! There was no
perfumery at all. This is a mystery
of nature referred to feelingly by
Opie Reid in his novel of The Juck-
Inns, where The hero is intoxicated
with the ordor Of bis sweetheart's
hair. Boys, there's something to that,
but / haven't time to 90 further into
this most interesting psychological
study. Nettie and her gpod husband
and prosperous children all together
there in Rienzi make a bright spot in
my memory, and make me believe more
than ever that things generally hap
pen for the best-for other people.
At Corinth | met three wonderfully
interesting people. Col. Wiles G,
Meeks greeted me like son, for he
had known my ancestors, and loved
them in spite Of political differences,
as his own family. Now, standing
like hoary oak in his manly dignity
a perfect picture Of the chiyalrous
and honest Southern gentleman of an
other generation, he still fixes h af-
fections on the friends of his nth
and upon their descendants, and
loves the young for the sake of the
old. What a contrast to the cold and
greedy element one finds here, intent
only upon the sensations and the in
terests of the hour, and upon their
own welfare! Long may tbs grand
old man live, an example TO the
younger generation and a reminder
that in character we are not improv-
ing upon those who went before US.
Another man well worth meeting was
Henry C. Moore, who is generally sup
posed to be worth millions of dollars,

New York Letter

Laying ASIDE thoughts OF business,
and without waiting until the pleas
ant memories of my last visit to the
old Tennessee home have grown dim
l want to write few impressions Of
that trip. It is good to drop ths
cares and interests Of the present foI
awhile and look back upon the ways
we have trod, and at the scenes Of
other days. 1t helps keep our hearts
tender and our minds open, and gives
us new grip upon what is before us
Selmer has changed considerably
since my former visit of 1918. Tht
two features most noticeable were the
fine system of concrete sidewalks,
which would be creditable to q tow
Of ten times its size; and the neat ap-
pearancs Of newly painted dwellings
and other buildings. Selmer is now
on solid foundation, and will grow
steadily under good business develop
ments. 1t evidently has a good com
munity spirit, and enough enterpris-
ing men and women to keep that
spirit alive. It was good to see the
substantial prosperity that has come
to the Alexander boys and
other associates Of my early days.
Their present status proves a great
truth that | have learned through
long observation: Good boys generally
make good and useful men. Some Of
the bad boys | used to know have
turned out very badly, and the preach
or Talmadge was on the right track
when he said that the average child's
character is fixed by the time he is
welve years old.
OF course one Of the first things
had to do was to get out to Aunt
Kate Luttrelps, at Lawton. She is
my mothers only living sister, and
she and Uncle Robert Luttrell are
links of the present with the past, that
are dear to me. Far from the roar,
the tinsel glitter and the nerve-rack-
ing life Of this great city, they live
quietly and sensibly in the house
where my aunt was born and where
my mother lived in early girlhood;
typical Tennessee home, where good
substantial food is enjoyed three
times a day, and most of it raised
right there on the place. My aunt
showed me a bread tray in which he,
mother had made up biscuit ant
dodger dough from time immemorial
1t is a big, generous tray, made tt

MOTHERS HANDS.

Mothers hands are stained and hard
And to some folks they look married;
But the ones for whom they've toiled
Think those hands SO hard and soiled,
Were ordained by Highest Heaven,
To the noblest task e'er given.
Angels neer could do the deeds.
Nor supply our endless needs,
AS those tireless hands have done;
Toiling till the set of sun.
Toiling. comforts to bestow
Making hearts with gladness glow.
Those dear hands point out the way,
Leading to eternal day;
How they wipe away the tears.
When our hearts are crushed with
fears;
Strengthens out life's tangled threads,
Blessings pour upon our heads.

Tender is her heart. my Lord;
And although her hands are stained,
Stainless has her soul remained;

Endless glory you'll have won.
