SEE Pa, one winters night;
"I'd go down South an stay awhile,
Where days are warm an bright :"

(Seemed lost in Thoughtful days,)
Till Ma brought in some fresh pine

An made a cheerful blaze.

Ma made the kettle boil,
An mixed hot biscuits, fried some
Ham an eggs, Csmelt good, too,

Fetched cheese an doughnuts, made

Then Pa-set down an ct!

Next from the lounge, we heard a
Pa at his evenin' nap
Ma did the dishes, shook the cloth,
Brushed up, put things away,
AM fed the cat, then started up
Her plans for bakin' day.
She washed an put some beans to

An set some bread to rise,
Unstrung some dried apples, soaked
'em too,
All ready for her pies;
She brought more wood, put out the
cat,
Then darned four pairs O. socks;
Pa woke, an sez, "It's time for bed;
Ma, have you wound both clocks?"

HARDINC'S CHOICE

Of Harding's cabinet-in fact they
seem to think that when he changed
his trade from printer to that of
cabinet maker he made n mistake.
One of the bad features of the
selection is that the South was
completely ignored in the choice
Of a cabinet. While it was not ex-
pected that he would choose a
Democrat Is a member of his official
family, it was supposed that he might
and q Republican in some one of the
Southern States who would measure
up to the cabinet standard. 1t augurs
badly for the South that he has not
done so.
Surely, with the triumph of the Re-
publican party, party in which there
are some South hatcrs who would not
hesitate to do this section great in
justice, there should he among the
Presidents advisers one man from the
Southern States. Prcs;dene Harding
has said some kind words of and to
the Southern people, but words do not
count much without deeds. There are
malevolent influences among some of
the Republican leaders Of the North
who would delight in the humiliation
Of the South.
Threats have been made as to the
reduction of the South's representa-
ton in Congress, threats as to con-
trolling by Federal troops the voting
places in the interest of negro suff-
rage. This may be one of the means
by which the Republicans will try to
make their control of the government
perpetual. Their leaders are aware Of
the fact that when the people, after
four years of Republican rule, and
perhaps ruin. may desire to make a
change. They remember that some
enormous Republican majorities have
been completely reversed, and that
Democrats have succeeded Republi-
cans by large majorities.
To provide against such a calamity
TO them, they will employ the next
four years in entrenching themselves
in Office for the future.
With high protective tariff in aid of
certain interests and other legislation
not in the interest Of the people the
worm will urn.
1t Is not unreasonable to suppose
that in four years there will be land
slide that will put the Democrats in
power.
As intimated in the beginning Mr..
Harding's cabinet is giving the news
paper contingent some amusement.
They say, for instance that Edwin
Derby, Michian, who is made Secre-
tary of the Navy, can't even swim, but
he Is millionaire, though he did not
make his money on water, unless it
was made by watering his stock The
lady who warned her daughter to
"hang her clothes on hickory limb
but don't 60 near the water" haG
nothing on Edwin Derby, Secretary OF
the Navy.
Mr.. Derby might do as forme,
Secretary Of the Navy did, Secre
tary whose name is not now recalled
He proposed to the Secretary of War
that they change places as the waite,
always made him sea-sick. and he
knew that the war Secretary haG
crossed the ocean several times.
