UNCLE TOMS LETTER


4 =
Editor News:
notice several of the cores
pondents are inclined to criticize
1.-THE widows and widowers, and
even threaten to quit counting so
the widows and widowers can
have a chance.
Land sakes! Young folks, tAere
is plenty of women and plenty of
men for all, and some look so
rosy and sweet it makes a feller's
mouth water. Some of you girls
have had the audacity to en-
quire in the News columns what
the attraction is in White City
that causes your Uncle Tom to
visit out there. Well, pretty wo-
men, if you must know. al
ways did like to look at pretty
woman, and | believe | like to
look at pretty woman just as
well at my age as | ever did. |
never did like the association of
men like do that of a woman.
| am like old Uncle Billy Craft
was by chicken and dumpling,
particularly fond of them.
Men and boys who don't like
the women and girls are the sor.
riest beings on earth. never
knew the time when | didn't
love the female kind. When a
wee bit of school boy and going
to school ! always had a little
sweetheart and, la me! | did
love the little things. Nothing
on earth loved better, and the
truth is, couldn't help it, so an
honest confession is good for US.
| never in my life wanted to mis-
treat a woman. / remember of
capturing a Yankee soldier dur
ing the war and after Hoods re
treat out of Tennessee that I've
always always felt proud OF. He
was at home and had just there
when | and two other rebels
came along. The two that were
with me were recruits and were
making our way back to the Con-
tederate aemy and we had learn
ed the Yankees had got between
us and Hood, so we changed.
our route, not dreaming or think
ing that the Yankees were 50
close to US when we discovered Q
cavalry saddle in the yard Of a
house we were passing.
/ dismounted and stepped to
the door and there sat a Yankee
soldier in full uniform. called
on him to surrender, which he
did. Iordered him to get his
horse, which he did. Then | ask
ed where his command was. He
told me, and told him to mount
and we'd be going. Then his
wife spoke for the first time, and
said: He is my husband and
this is the FIRST time / have seen
him in a long time, and plesse
don't take him off. " The tears
rolled down her cheeks and saw
she really was suffering over the
matter. So l spoke to the sold
Ter and told him | had no use for |
him, mounted his horse. which
was a good one and rode away. |
The lady's eyes fairly sparkled
when she saw | was not going to
rob her of her husband.
I've never been able to over
come the tears OF a woman. You
may throw up to me this and
that. but a good woman has more |
influence over me than any
amount Of men. Our great civ
il war tested the love and re-
spect our boys had for the wo-
men. We were naturally chival-
rous, much more so than the boys
of today appear to be. All re-
finement we have comes to US by |
the power and influence Of the
good women. If the women can
and do live pure and clean lives.
and we men love and respect
them for it, why cant the men
emulate them?
