A MERE MANS VIEW.

CLOTHES do % make the man." ac-
cording to an old adage, but they go a
long way toward making the woman is
the opinion of a former country boy,
now in the city, who has been chagrin-
ed-if not shocked-by the modern
tendency in feminine dress. He de-
plores the feminine boycott of dry
goods, and clings to the old ideas in
woman's dress that were in vogue
when he was a boy on the old farm.
He is not alone in the view that scan
tiness of attire does not add to wo-
mans charm, and he has dressed his
views. up in verse with a request that
we publish them. His rhythym may
not be perfect, but he expresses a
thought that is not amiss:
Ode to the Girl.
(By One of the Boys).
Little girl, you are so small,
Don't you wear no clothes at all?
Don't you wear nc shimmy shirt?
Don't you wear no petit" skirt?
Just your corsets and you hose
Are those all your u~nderclothes
Little girl, you look so slight
When I see you in the light.
With your skirts cut rather high
Won't you catch a cold and die?
Aren't you 'fraid to show our calf?
1t must make the fellows laugh!
Little girl, what is the cause?
Why your clothes all made of gauze?
Don't you wear no undervest
When you go out fully dressed?
Do you like those peek-a-boos,
Stead of normal und%erclothes?
Little girl, your 'spenders show
When the sunshine plays just so.

SUSPECTED CASE OF
SMALLPOX IN JAIL

Discovery of an eruption. believed to
be smallpox. on the face and body Of
Robert Matthews, negro, Whiteville,
Tenn, while he was confined In the
county jail Thursday night. resulted in
Wholesale vaccination of prisoners by
DR.. r. G, Graves county health officer
and DR.. p. Perkins The county Jail
now is barred to visitors, but is, not
Quarantined
There We're 81 prisoners in the jail
Friday when DR.. Graves and DR. Per-
kins got out the vaccine points and be-
gan scratching arms, Fifty of the 81
were vaccnated The others showed
good sears from former vaccinations
and" so escaped sore arms.
Matthews at once was ordered to the
pesthouse by DR.. Graves. There was
some doubt Saturday az to whether or
not his case is smallpox. Squire w. +,
l<mbrough in charge of the pesthouse,
was inclined to doubt the presence OF
the sCourgc owing to the fact that pu9
pOStues formed before the usual five
day period But physicians felt safe in
ordering Matthews into quarantine. ana
aiding all precautions to prevent spread
Of the disease.
Dr. Graves stated Saturday that he
felt safe regarding the other inmates
of the Jail. owing to the prompt action
taken in the Matthews case. The only
kicks at the procedure in case it turns
out that Matthews hasn't got small
box are likely to come from the num-
erous sore armed prisoners.
