THE CoURTSHIP OF MILES STANDISH.
Henry w. Longfelow. Cambridge Apple
day. White Co., New York
THIS is the story of simple minded
young man who got double crossed
L by his best friend and lost his girl
as a result
The lady Of the story is young person
named Priscilla, who seems to have been
n seamstress. She was probably very handy
with her needle, and although the author
does not mention the fact she was doubt
less in good standing in the garment makers
union, although charges should have been
preferred against her. because she not only
made garments but seems to have also
manufactured the cloth, which is a clear
violation of the rules, as you will be told by
the business agent of either the garment
makers or the textile workers. However,
she was very pretty girl and may have
had drag.
When Miles observed how well she could
sew he concluded that she would be good
person to make his shirts for him. but as he
had very little money and could not afford
TO employ her he decided to marry ner.
doubtless depicting a life of ease for himself
while she would have nothing to do except
cook three meals a day. wash the dishes,
clean the house, attend to the babies. do the
fires, work the garden go to the spring for
water mould bullets for him so he could go
hunting clean the guns and do the market
ing while in her spare moments she could
take in sewing and create an income for the
little family.
The more he thought about this the better
he liked the idea, but not being entirely in
sensible to shame he did not have the nerve
to propose the arrangement to Priscilla.
He finally decided that he did not have the
heart TO take advantage Of the girl person
ally, so he called in his friend. John Alden,
and told him what he had i'm mind He asked
John to propose marriage to the girl for
him, having in mind that IL the marriage
turned out badly he could always reproach
John with it, saying. You got me into this"
Now that is where Miles made his big
mistake.
In the first place he presented too rosy
picture to John Alden. Modern business
The New York herald., 1921-07-24

to come personally and get them and the
truth of the matter is that they would much
rather be carried off by force than per-
suaded
Well of course, it was lead pipe cinch
what would happen. John Alden was a
crafty individual. and he proceeded to talk
so much about Miles Standish that Priscilla,
with the natural perversty of the sex, i'm
mediately sickened of him, although she had
until then thought quite well of him. Finally
she said to herself: "If this big boob can talk
in that pleading tone for Miles Standish /
The New York herald., 1921-07-24

men would say that he "oversold" Priscilla
and the work she was capable of doing to
John In the second place women have been
working and shaving for men ever since Eve
carried the household effects on her head
out of the Garden of Eden while Adam
walked behind smoking cigar and carry
ing nothing except his stone hatchet. and
they will undoubtedly continue to do so until
the end of time, but they do not like to nego-
tiate for this life of servitude through
third party. They want the man who Sc
cures them, whether he be prince or pauper

wonder what he could do for himself" so
she ups and says:
"Why don't you speak for yourself, John?"
What did John do? Just what any one OF
us would have done.
So Miles lost his girl, and spent the bal
ance of his days with a gun, which was
called a fowling piece shooting turkeys in
the woods.
We recommend this story as study for
any young man who thinks he can get
girl by simply sending her word that he is
willing to marry her.

listening to him with intense amusement,
while he talked in a loud voice for the bene-
fit of every one within a radius of thirty
feet
Evidently Professional Southerner
He is the disgusting individual who makes
himself conspicuous on all occasions and
begins all possible sentences in loud voice
with 1--WE gentlemen OF the South" when
the truth is that the 1--WE gentlemen of the
South" whom he misrepresents are just
as we'll bred, just quiet in their manner,
just as courteous in their bearing and just as
considerate of others as are the gentlemen
of any other section of the country.
He is the fellow who trains himself while
away from home to talk like a corn field
negro or even worse, when as matter of
fact except for infections, intonations and
the coloquialisms, which vary in every sec
ton of the country, the educated Southerner
speaks Just as correctly and equally as
clearly the educated man from any other
part of the United States. The chances are
that if the Professional Southerner were to
begin talking in the South we heard him
talk the other day he would be asked what
section of the country he came from, that
is If he chanced to be among persons who
cared to know.
The Professional Southerner is a profound
bore. He is not in New York in such great
numbers, but wherever he is, whether it is
theatre, uOIel, cigar StdHu OF uIueT lHe
bright lights of Broadway, he does his best
to embarrass all who hail from his section
of the country and make them wish that
the courts were little more lenient in their
Interpretation of the law regarding justif-
able homicide.
w TELL if the Professional Southerner
\N/ is not typical of the South, then
who is the Typical Southerner?
There are many of them in many sections
of the country. They are snappy in their
walk, clear-eyed men who think straight
and catch the swing of the crowd they asso-
cate with in any community.
We ran across Col. Thomas y. Fielder,
New York attorney the other day. We re-
gard him as rather typical of the educated
man from the South, who has made a sue
cess in the North Col. Fielder left his
rather substantial law practice in Georgia
four years ago and sought the broader field
of New York.
He has prospered His practice is large.
He owns a beautiful home in Greenwich,
Conn.,, and reaches it in his own car
He gave us some advice, but he didn't
charge us anything, although he is in the
business of selling advice. So, having
ceived it free, We will pass it on to you,
particularly it is good advice He said:
Ability coupled with good character and
personality-that combination will win in

He was advising u.s. but we couldn't help

LIST, 1917 to June Both, 1920, | noticed
that they amounted to Frcs. q, 226. 800.
and that the actual expenditures for the
same period amounted to Frcs. 1881. 282.
this makes a difference of only about
5000, 900 for the period of three years.
and if we then include the actual re-
venues for last year with the enormous
income tax soon falling due, | believe
we can fairl' say hat this island has
been operated for four years on its own
This of course is exclusive of
salaries paid to Naval Officials.
| think this result is not so bad; and
while the Council, in the past years,
have passed the budget in the belief that
most of the money came from the Federal
appropriations; | think that with this
knowledge to hand, it is quite fair that
the present budget goes to a committee
of the Council where the details can be
carefully looked into and all attempt
made to bring the expenses down to an
economic basis in the neighborhood of
our means. | do not wish to go into de-
tails today, but | recommend that the

| received a letter from the Government
Secretary forwarding 6 copies of the
budget for the fiscal year 1921 1922, for
consideration and action by the MUM

Faster Holidays and other delays l
couldn't call a meeting before April 18th,
and we had to rush the budget through;
we had two sessions on it, but IN my
opinion we ought to have half a dozen
as it is rather bulky and many new de
nartments have been created, we need
more time to go through it. Inc MunlcI-

The great suspense which overshad
owed II e political life OF the community
is now over, and through the uncertain
dawn of a new political day appears a
figure which commands attention, and
eXudes a spirit of hope and confidence
that the interest of the Christiansteo
district will be loyalty represented in The
reorganized Colonial Council.
Barely of an age that permits him 10
accept this honour, Mr.. Joe Alexande
brings a spirit of progressive vitality
and practical ability, to assist in FORMING
laws that govern this island.
Possessing considerable interest H.
our island, and of sufficient integrity ant
ability to command respect, who i.
more worthy to this honour of his people
than he?
Not an orator, inthe truest sense of the
word, but with sufficient force to claim
attention and inspI%e confidence in an,
assemblage, he pledges himself to defend
and support the interests of his cOnsti-
tuents, and work tremendously for Ire
progress of his island, and the welfare
