DARKEY WAS NOT IMPRESSED
His Opinion Of the Chief Justlee Of

Decidedly Not High.

John Marshall was a great man and,
like many great men, he became at
times very much absorbed with his
thoughts. Riding along the bad roads
Of North Carolina one day in a gig the
chief justice Of the United States Su-
preme court was revolving a point OF
law In his mind and not paying q great
deal Of attention to the road. His
horse turned out Of its own accord and
the gig ran over a sapling and tilted
so sharply that the judge was aroused
from his reverie. II seemed to him
that he vas hung up on the sapllng,
for he could turu neither to the right
or left. An old negro hsppened along.
scratched his head a momeut and said ;
'Marse. whut fer you-all don back
yo' horse often that saplin'7"
That's So replied Marshall, who
had not thought of that simple solu-
ton, and promptly backed away from
the obstruction. He thanked the old
man and was about to reward him, but
found he had no money In his pocket.
"Never mind. uncle" he said as he
drove away. IN stop at the tavern

The old negro was not Impressed,
but for fear he might overlook q bet

landlord gave him a dollar, which Mar

for high living, and prices Of choice

With the close of the war came a
lull in the gun trade and thousand

SONG NaIusn

The value Of songs, In most ln-
stances, lies with the artist, the inter
prefer, because Il Is the artist who
gives a song life and reality.
1t is very interesting TO observe the
various songs spoken OF by artists as
beautiful, dramatic. thrilling and so
on. Each Que has an entirely different
Idea as to value. One will select a
song because 1t happens to suit which
ever voice his happens to be. An.
other viii choose a song for the beauty
of the lyric. while someone else makes
a selection because of the striklngly
melodic theme. Others like a song Of
weird exotic harmonizations or be-
cause Of original character OF form.
When Il comes to the subject some
prefer sea songs, others dramatic or
timely wal songs OF the declamatory
style, while people with different ma
lures lean toward mood or atmospheric
songs.
