those knew well and with whom mingled
socially in Mississippi, on going to the
national capital married "marble fronts
and would now know me no more.
AS now remember, among those to whom
l was introduced on that rather eventful
blueveined party evening, so far as I was
concerned were Douglas and Wallace
McCary, two magnificent specimens of the
genus homo, not quite so fair in complexion
as the most Of those present, but with
shapely features and raven black hair that
gave them much the appearance of
Spanlards, though they had an Irish or q
Scotch name. Unlike some of the others
they possessed a congeniality that made the
stranger within their gates want to get up
against them. Subsequent to that social
gathering, | met those young men on the
college campus Of my Alma Mater and
while they were not sport lovers to the
extent of being mixers, yet they had with
them spirit of congeniality that made of
them good fellows. But parting day finally
came, as it does to all schools of learning
when chums, classmates and acquaintance
go their respective ways, the most of them
to never meet again.
Periodically I saw the name of DOUGLAS
McCary in print, and for minute bygone
days came to my mind Thirty odd years
thereafter a military attache applied to me
for an apartment for himself and family in
the Caytonian Court in Seattle, and in reply
to "Name, please?" came "Wal1ace
McCary.' Tt was some days thereafter
while talking with him about the Twenty
fifth Infantry, which was then stationed at
Fort Lawton, that I realized familiarity
in his features that made me stare him in
the face and say, ''I had college friend
OF the same name as yours smile
spread over his face and he replied. "And
[ am that friend' He and his family soon
moved to the fort. where Wallace soon
thereafter took suddenly i'll one day and
died the same day. His family went to
California. From Wallace I learned that
Douglas was in Omaha, but of him knew
nothing.
Like most of the young men of the blue
vein colored society of Natchez. both of
the McCary boys became political proteges
of John R. Lynch, the only colored con-
gresham from Mississippi and for some
years DOug's name often appeared in
public print in connection with that Of Mr..
Lynch, but as already said, after leaving
WASHINGTON City and going to Omaha he
dropped out of sight and so continued until
the following excerpt was flashed over the
wides some days ago:

The Times SubScribcS.

\ year or so ago when news print
paper first became scarce and began
its upward trend in price the dailies
quit exchanging with the weeklies and
many Of the weekIieS quit each other.
The movement had its start ut the in
stance of governmental authorities and
it stuck after peace came because the
publishers realized that their exchange
lists We're over-large for the new price
demanded for news print paper. When
the dailieS quit the weeklieS the first
thing we did was to subscribe for the
Shreveport TimSc and il New Orleans
daily: and now the unexpected has
happened-the Times has subscribed
for our paper. Surely the old order of
things cllangeth fast these days.
