How Do You Meet Emeroenoy7

Your treatment of life's accidents is
a test cf your ingenuity. Things that
can be done by rule can be relegated
10 the clerk. Things that demand the
exceptional must be handled by the
man who is master of affairs When
the accidental comes there is no
time for preparing to meet 1t. It's an
emergency that demands immediate
action. If the note Is not taken truly
1t brings discord. When life's notes
out Of the usual scale are not prompt
ly and properly met they bring dissat-
isfaction and calamity. It's the mark
of the master to be able to make the
usual contribution to the whole OF
life. And best Of all the man with
the right spirit enjoys the challenge
the accidental gives In life. 1t not
only affords change but 1t suggests
stages of development by which he
can estimate growth.

When vIraInIa Seeded.

On April II in 1861 the state CON
vention, composed Of the members OF
the legislature of Virginia. passed the
Ordinance of secession" by vote of
S8 to So. Virginia, II days prior to
this, had refused to Join the states of
America but the decision of the Con-
federate leaders to fire upon Sumter
and Llncoln's call for $4,000 volun-
teers on April 10 turned the scale and
Virginia threw in her lot with the
South.

Students have long been interested
In the Australian aboriglne, the Afrl-
can bushman, and the Ceylonese
Vedda The Veddas are recorded as
far back as SAB b. c., and their Gus
toms and beliefs are thought to have
changed but little since the stone age.
But the Veddas, on report Of traveller
lately returned from the wilds of Cey-
lon, are reaching the end of this
peculiar interest. For now "hardly
Vedda faithful to The traditions OF
his ancestry survives: not one, per-
haps, that wears leaves for clothing
and depends for subsistence solely on
the products of the Jungle" The bow
and arrow are still sometimes used,
but have been largely supplanted by
old-fashioned muzzle-loading guns,
and the skillful archery for which the
Veddas were notable has become n
lost art In this Ceylon Jungle few
typical Veddas are left, but these are
isolated specimens. In any circum-
stances 1t has been held that the
Veddas are incapable of civilization.
But then that depends, of course, on
what is meant by civilization.

Readers.

There are four sorts of readers
hour glass readers, whose reading runs
In and out and leaves nothing; sponge
readers. who imbibe all but only to
give 1t out again as they got it, and
perhaps not so clear; jelly-bag readers,
who keep the dregs and refuse, and
let the pure run through; diamond
readers, who cast aside all that is
worthless and hold only gems.

D lPE, aluring luscious peach.
N watch thee daily growI
The sun has kissed thy velvet cheek
Into wondrous glow.
The parent tree has given thee
A flavor, ah so rarel
That apple, plum. no grape, indeed,
Can with thee half compare.
Thou art sometimes a temptress fair,
To boys who pass along
Beholding thee among thy leaves,
They think it is no wrong
To pluck thee from thy hiding place
And as the giants of old
Devoured maids most greedily,
They eat thee, quite as bold.
Thou art a thraveler, too, indeed,
Into a northern land
To rich and poor blasting there,
Ihour't ever in demand.
And when sometimes cruel fate
May doom thee to pie
Ihourt still as good as good can be
For hungry mouths to try
| am glad that thou art growing here
That Georgia is thy home.
A better state thou could st not find
Vert thou the world to roam.
I'll hide thy seed in Georgia soil
With hope and faith in thee
That soon thy relatives may grow
Upon noble tree

"Sniper Jackson"
By w. B. MCCORMICK.

FREDERICK SLEATH'S Ssiper
L Jackson definitely markes the be
ginning of the second phase Of war liter
AZURE that is based on military life. Under
q very thin but agreeable veneer Of real
istic fiction he describes the work Of
"sniping section" Of the British army,
q unit made up Of the type OF
man we always called sharp
shooter and whose Individual work is
probably the most deadly Of all soldiers in
any army. The hero of the tale is young
lieutenant who joins his battalion as a
very green young officer indeed, but who,
by his native courage and resOureefulness,
makes a gallant commanding officer and
who does not, in the usual manner of
fiction, rise 10 distinguished heights in the
service. In fact il is for the reason that
Lieut. Jackson is pictured as Just hu-
man young man, ike thousands Of his fel-
lows, that he is so attractive and so typical
Of his class.
Mr. Sheath has the ability to make his
characters all very human and lovable,
notably in the instances of Lieut. Jackson's
five leading snipers, chief of whom are the
Sergeant and Old Dan. Also he can touch
the baser human passions with a firm note,
as is eapitaIly illustrated in his hero's cpl
sode with the alluring spy, Marie, and in
the case of "Cissie'S" misadventure with
a chorus girl who is no better than she
should be. These, however, are the side
lights in a book that is devoted solely TO
one phase Of an army in action, of that
life which only little while ago absorbed
all of our thoughts and which now, hap
PLY, is relegated TO the limbo of strained,
unhappy memories ont Of which We are
emerging, as in Mr.. Sleath's most interest
ing tale, into fietional records. A gallant
tale well told.

novel But Is "this prosaie class does not
make for very exciting adventure and
reading, except possibly FIR the sociolo-
gist, our author gives TO his hero, Billee
Prince, q setting Of the old days in the
southeastern corner Of Net Mexico when
the COW puncher put ~the punch" into its
Life and the dad man" went up and down
the frontier shooting up all his "six gun"
could devour. The spring Of the tale is
found in a Southern mountain feud, the
betrayal Of Indy Clanton by Dave
Roush, the smcide of 'Lin1y and the tax
ing upon himself by 'Lindy's brother Bud
of revenge on Roush. Since the mountain
country is not Mr.. Raine's familiar world,
he transfers the scene of his tale to New
Mexico at the time when il was a sink for
all the worst men in Texas, when the cattle
drive was real occupation for real men
and when the Indians and renegade white
men "rustled" stock at will.
Enter Bud ON this world to make
friends with Billee Prince, COW puncber
and four-square man Of the novels title.
Enter also all the conventional accessories
Of the COW puncher novel, "gIn plays"
heroines who are Dianas of the plains,
interranch feuds, sudders death by VIC
lence, trickey and cowarice, and Virtue
eventually rising triumphant over Vice. All
these are here, and yet it is the art of Mr..
Raine to make Of these Ingredients tale
that is wholesome, blood stirring and rea
sonable withal Its pages have no dull mo-
ments, its conventions are unconventional,
its human beings are very human. II is a
good story; If he has written better one
VIC don't recall il.

"a Man Four-Square"

tSTHE real heroes among the
l. pioneers" writes William Mac
Jeod Raine in A Mon Four7Sqsdre, "were
the quiet citizens who went about their
business and refused TO embroil them
selves in the feuds that ran rife. The men
who made the West were the mule skim
ners, the storekeepers, the farmers who
came out in the white topped movers
wagons. For a time these were sub
merged by the more sensational gunman,
but in the end they pushed TO the top and
wiped the bad man from the earth. It
was this ppesaic class that Billee Prince
had resolved 10 join"

In 1917, barred from active war SER
vice by frsil health, Smith abandoned his
dramatic work at most critical moment
and undertook to procure and prepare
sphagnum moss for use in surgical dress

this which took him in March, 1918, to
