OLD SOUTHERN WIT
GOOD STORIES OF TOM MAR
SHALL STILL BEING TOLD.
Ill-Advised Was the Person Who En-
gagged in Word Duel With Famous
Kentuckian Who Flourished
"Befoh the Wah."

OF the witty Tom Marshall of Ken
lucky, who flourished in the halcyon
days "befoh the wah," anecdotes are
still extant. Once there had been a
disagreement between him and the
Judge before whom he was making
an argument. II am not" said Mar
shall, "such an ass as your honor

taken by a fit of coughing-then he
finished his sentence-"seems to

fine against Mr.. Marshall of $40 for
an unnecessary interregnum in his
sentence" 81 am short of ready cash
this morning." said Tom, will your
honor kindly lend me $1OT Mr.
Clerk" said the judge, you may remit
that fine. The state of Kentucky is
better able to lose the money than l
am"
On another occasion Tom, indignant
at ruling of the judge, exclaimed :;
Your honor, Jesus Christ was convict
ed on just such rulings of the court
that tried him." Mr. Marshall" said
the Judge, "you are fined SO for con-
tempt of court" "Your honor" said
Tom, 81 never before knew or heard of
anybody being fined for abusing Pom

"What time is it, Mr.. Marshall?'
said the judge. 81 don't know" re-
piled Tom. my watch is with my
uncle, and if your honor continues to
decide against me as you have hith-

Miss Breckenridge of Kentucky was
society belle who had a beautiful
octoroon girl for a maid. She had
rooms at the Gait house and one day
Tom, meeting the pretty servant CIR

present, engaged her in conversation

ten-dollar gold piece, but which turne'

presented to him by the citizens o
Frankfort in recognition of some pub

the gold medal at the hotel counter
but the clerk took it from her an

Fine Place to Live in.
at is healthy city, place where
the white man can live and rear big,
healthy family" said one business
man. "That is one great point. Then
take its extraordinary situation with
regard to the flow of commerce: Sac
Paulo is the natural outlet not only
for all the products of the rich interior
of Sac Paulo state, the coffee, cattle,
cereals and forest produce, but 1t Is
the door for the huge expanse of Mat
to Crosse, Goyaz and a great part Of
Minas Geraes, even If we do not count
upon our railway connection with the
three most southern states.
II see Sac Paulo as the center of
great network of spreading lines all
of which bring agricultural and min
eral products to this great point of dis
| tribution. Within a radius of 200
miles of Sac Paulo there are S,000,O00
people.
| 1--WE have a great deal to be proud
of In Sac PaulO. / am not speaking
only for our achievements in making
the city convenient and beautiful, for
any visitor can see for himself our fine
colleges, hospitals, government build
ings, splendid residences, evergreen
parks; he can ride on our 240 kilome-
tiers of street railway, visit the NUM-
cipal theater and the museum at Ypi-
ranga, go out to beautiful suburban
districts and visit over 300 factories.
and he will still miss the spirit that
has made Sac Paulo great if he does
not realize in what short space of
time all this has been accomplished.
and in what daring attitude of trust
for the future. The Paulista has
planned for his children boldly and
lavishly."

" OR RAPID growth and develop
l. ment, Sac Paulo, Brazil, stands
almost preeminent among the
cities of the world. Founded
in 1854 by Jesuit priests under Father
Jose de Anchieta, the Apostle of
South America" the city had only o.
100 inhabitants in the year 1916. In
1882 the white population amounted
to about 5000 in the whole munich
pality, and in 1850 there was scarcely
any change in the figures. But after
1875, which is TO say after railways
began to penetrate the fertile interior
and the great development of coffee
culture opened the way to white immi-
grafton, there was a series of leaps
in the number of inhabitants: In 1872
Sac Pauo had $4,000 inhabitants; in
1890, $4,000; in 1893, 131 900; In 1900,
100000; In 1910, 375,OO0, and In 1915,
100000 says Miss J. Edwin Elliott in
the Pan-American Magazine.
Between 1890 and 1900 Sac Paulo
arose from her position of pleasant
but practically stagnant town, waking
to extraordinary activity; she trans
formed her outward appearance, prac-
tically rebuilding the old city, laying
out new areas of streets and repaving
the old ones; presently she reformed
her water supplies, constructed a
splendid system of sanitation, and to-
day stands in beauty of edifices (pub-
lie and private), avenues and city
I'll, al nd dnr-
among the first cities of the Americas
She comes third in size among South
American cities, with Buenos Aires
first and Rio de Janeiro second.
For the year 1916 the revenues OF
Sac Paulo are calculated at about

money of about $2,250,000.

resort.
"Oh, we're used to that" replied the
resident, land don't mind, so long as

People of United States
Know Little of Leading
Writers of Latin America

The names of few Spanish-American
speaking American, although South
Americans generally are said to be ia
miliar with English and American lit
ernture. How many Americans have
read of Ruben Dario. the poet, the
most prominent figure in Spanish
American letters of today?
He was born in Segovia, Nicaragua,
January Is, 1864, and was educated
in Leon. the Nicaraguan capital. Early
in his life he developed taste for the
writings of Victor Hugo, and transla-
tons of some of Hugos stories were
his earliest literary efforts. From Leon
he went to Salvador, where he joined
the staff of a musical journal. While
there the government commissioned
him to write the ode for the Bolivar
centennial. He next went to Santiago,
and his fourth book, "Azul," n collec-
ton of tales in prose and verse, pub
lished there, attracted general atten.
ton, and was the subject of mucl
praise by Spanish critics. He after
ward removed to Madrid, and for sew
eral years exercised great influence
on the younger poets of Spain.
Dario's poetry is said by critics t.
combine French excellence of techniqu,
with Spanish feeling and beauty. TIT

Collars Grow Wider.

Collars and cuffs grow bigger
and bigger; it looks as though,
before many moons have passed,
the extreme style of 1880, when
cape collars, falling almost to the
waistline at front and back were
worn, will have been reached. A
smart neckwear set for wear
over a simple silk frock or
blouse, is of sheer batiste, with
edge frillings of plated net. The
collar opens in V and falls well
over the shoulder, and instead of
crossing in surplice fashion, the
long ends are gathered up to
form sort of jabot. The cuffs
reach the elbow and are buttoned
all the way up with round
crochet buttons.

The biggest items in the expendi-
lures of the city of Sac Paulo are
those for public service, including up
keep of parks and gardens and muni-
cipal cleaning; all this work is SPLEEN
didly performed, the city being quite
one of the best kept on the western
hemisphere. Nearly $1000,000 year
is thus spent.
Large Foreign Element
Sac Paulo, in common with all
South American cities of Importance,
has large foreign business element;
the English and French have "a strong
hold in finance, have done great
deal of construction work, and own
some powerful commercial houses rep
resenting large investments. The
Italians are generally represented by
the industrial element and smaller
commercial enterprises, although
there are also some great Italian for
tunes here; Germans long ago entered
in commerce.. banking and agriculture,
and there has been, especially since
the European war began, an increas-
ing commercial interest on the part OF
North Americans in Sac Paulo.
However, 1t must not be imagined
that as has happened in some parts of
Latin America, enterprise Is In the
hands of foreigners alone; the Paulista
has himself worked to make his state
great, has constructed splendid rail-
ways, built roads and bridged rivers,
developed huge plantations, created
great commercial houses, Is operating
fine banks, and altogether is as keen
an international trader as his brother
from Europe.
