DAILY LETTER
AMONG FOLKS.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that
America had produced two great
poets, Daniel Webster and Father
Taylor.
As to Webster, we know what he
meant. Webster wrote no verse. but
he had great imagination, such as a
poet must have.
But who was Father Taylor?
No one needed to ask that Ques-
ton in the DAYS when Emerson was
preaching in the north end of Bos-
ton Emerson attracted the intellec-
tual few, but the throng, including
hosts from the aristocratic part of
he city went by his door to listen to
the man who talked to sailors in the
old Bethel in North Square.
Two drunken sailors were looking
for the place one night, and they
tired to read the kerosene-lighted
sign. BETHEL. One of them spell
ed it out painfully

he cried, That's the nlacew

There are folks enough in the
world. and varieties enough, and we
sometimes have occasion to weary
of them. But one Of the best things
in life for all of us is the privilege
which we have of living here on
earth, among folks.
When Father Taylor grew old. he
formed the habit of talking to him
self as he walked along. "Why do
you talk to yoursef?" he was asked.
Because I enjoy the privilege of
Because I enjoy talking to a sem
sible mani
But even the privilege of talking
to sensible man, which, by the way,
does not always come to me man
who talks to himself, is not to be COM
pared to the value Of living among

The Americas Light Infantry was
out on dress parade yesterday after
noon, and besides making their usual
handsome appearance, put up one Of
the prpettiest drills yet scored to
their credit. After drilling through
the principal streets the company was
drawn up in line in front of the libra

company's gold medal took place,
This medal has been worn by Third
Sergeant H. C. Davis for several
years past, he having won it three
times successfully. The drill yester-
day was conducted by Lieut.. Harper,
and an interested crowd watched the
difficult movements through which
the men were put. Finally the con-
test narrowed down to Serg't. J. E.
Mathis and Private Walter Crisp. FL
nally Private Crisp made an error
and accordingly Serg't. Mathis was
awarded the medal. The prize was
presented in a neat little speech by
Private Lane. Sergeant Mathis is
very proud of his success in winning
the beautiful badge, and will see
it that no competitor will take it
from him. Serg't. Davis, who held
the prize so long. was sick yesterday
and did not enter the contest, else
Serg't Mathis victory might not
have proved such an easy one

THE MANS SIDE OF MARRIED LIFE

The ice was so thick about my
home on Sunday morning that | felt
like an Arctic explo,er.
Both Dot and her mother blamed
me for my father-in-law's mishap.
Finally, when Dot, for the twentieth
time, began to tell ms about poor
father" I broke in by saying:
Look here, dear, | believe you
would blame ME for the weather.
Your father made a chump of him
self last night, but | can't see that
it is in any way my fault
The idea Of bringing him home
in that disgraceful condition
Should have let him go to sleep
under some lamp post? Now let re
tell you my side of it. You insisted
upon me playing cards last night,
you insisted upon me taking your
father along.
He insisted on drinking too much
which the rest of US were behaving
ourselves like gentlemen, and. Incl
dentally, he drank up all my friend,
rye.
He insisted on betting like a
crazy man, and, even so, he didn't
lose any more than he won the list
time he played with my friends. No
wait a minute, for | haven't finish
ed.
Now I'll tell you what I'll do. If
it will make you and your mother
feel any better, I'll give back to your
father the ST | won from him last
night. If it will make him feel any
hctta, T'U Uivp him all he lost
Just keep this in mind: l didn't
have anything to do with him play
ing cards nor drinking. lie needed

of my remarks, but at least she
dropped the subject, though she an,
her mother still regarded me Jelly
Later in the morning Dot announc-

going to church and asked me if

her father
Doesn't he want to 90 to church,"

They're a nice bunch of fellows,

Americas is to possess another I'M

great acid plant of the Interstate
Agricultural corporation, one Of the
largest concerns in the United States
engaged in the manufacture of acids
as a component part of commercial
fertilizer. The city council. in order
to induce the location of this plant
in Americus, will make such conces-

company has already secured a build
ing site on the Central railroad out
beyond the old baseball park, and
will begin the erection of buildings
for the manufacture of its output.
