| have collected a posey from the
garden of another and only the silken
thread which binds it together is
mine, having drawn on my mother
| for some of her "reminiscences. At
the time of which l am telling many
Confederate soldiers were camped or
stationed in Clinton, La, among them
being Fenner's Battery, which was
composed of the creme de la creme Of
New Orleans manhood. The girls in
that locality decided to give some
thing to entertain them while in their
midst, and the concensus of opinion
was that a party, or ball, as they
termed it, would be most enjoyable,
and at this time it seemed almost i'm
possible, but they decided to over
come all obstacles and 60 ahead. The
greatest problem with them was the
all-absorbing one of "What shall we
wear?" So after preliminary meet
ling to discuss ways and means, all
departed for their homes with the de-
Termination to search the attics and
dive into the capacious depths of the
enormous Saratoga trunks, which ev.
cry family possessed in those days
They had lots of fun as each displayed
some treasure she had unearthed
some wonderful discovery, such as ar
old lace shawl, a scarf, old silk dres
ses, and scraps Of ribbon and velvet
they collected up every tiny fragment
of silk, lace or velvet to form rosettts
flor adornment. One girl said sh'
had failed to find anything to make
herself dress, but that she was cast

dotted Swiss window curtains, which
were her mothers pride and joy. How
to approach the subject Of convert
ling these treasures into dancing
frock was the cause Of much worr!
on this girls part. So finally, sh
broached the subject by appealing t.
the mothers loyalty and saying tina
the curtains would be a sacrifice o.
the altar of "The Great Cause" Nee
. l say that this was effective? Near
ly a week was consumed in makinl
j the frocks-this dotted Swiss one wa
very full of skirt, with deep hen
ia round waist, and short pufte

of green arborvitae and tiny pin

gallantry and chivalry, "the lamp

A TALE OF THE OLD SOUTH

"A L AxIA Va 49,
"Eneas Africanus"-By Harry STILL
we'll Edwards, J. W. Burke Company
Macon, Georgia. Reviewed by Robin
COOns.
All you who cherish memories OF
the old South that lives now only IN
such memories; Of the tender, brood
ing faces of black 'mammles" VINO
crooned soft lullabies to beloved
white chillun''; Of rollicklng, res
pectful pickaninnies; of mellow voices
lifted in the strains of Swing Low,
Sweet Chariot and other "splrlt-
uals": of the valiant deeds of "Brer
Rabbit" and "Brer Fox" those quaint
characters immortalized in the folk
tales of a lovable child-race; Of the
"ouarters' and the cotton fields; OF
the lows and sorrows, the service and
sacrifice, the love and loyalty that
linked the cabin with "The Big
House, you will find in "Eneas
Africanus,' a story after your own
hearts. A delicious blend Of humol
and pathos, it is replete with the at.
mosphere and charm of those vanished
DAYS towards which the true Souther'
ner. regardless of his environment
finds "his heart is turning ever"
The plot of the story is concerned
with the wanderings of an African
Eneas, a typical plantation darky
whose experiences and adventures arr
truly as marvellous as were those o.
the immortal Trojan for whom NJ
is named. The narrative, which bears
all the earmarks of authenticity, un
folds as the outcome Of a letter from
Major George C.. Tommey, late com
mander of Tommey's Legion, c. S. A.
published in an Atlanta newspaper
In this letter the Major invokes tn
assistance of the public in locating
a faithful old negro who had bee'
sent away during the war, eight year
before, when, there being conslderabl
fighting around the Majors stoc
farm, the "white folks had hastil
fled southwark, intrusting all the fam
ily silver to the old mans care, wit
verbal instructions concerning hi
itinerancy. Eneas' intentions bein
unfortunately superior to his abilities
he had become hopelessly lost; an
the situations resulting from the ol
,, darky's abysmal innocence of map
and geography which the reader learn
of through the astonishing respens
to the Majors letter, make a stor
full of interest and charm.
l Eneas is a battling combination
a rascal and saint. In him is con
$ bined the simplicity Of trustin
:. child with the cunning Of the Arc
: Serpent, himself. In his unfathon

ROAD INFORMATION OFTEN
HARD TO GET FROM STATES

With the annual expenditure for
roads and streets In the United States
approaching the billion-dollar mark,
more accurate information and better
means for obtaining Il seem necessary,
says the Bureau OF Public Roads Of
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. One thing very much needed
Is the concentration Of all sorts Of I'm
formation and statistics concerning
the roads Of the various States In the
State highway departments.
Engineers of the department are now
gathering complete information regard
ing the road mileage and expenditures
in the United States. In many Of the
States much Of the information desir-
ed is easily obtainable from the State
highway department. In the case of
Iowa the figures were obtained al
most Immediately. In other cases IL
has been necessary to send out numer-
GUS questionnaires and sometimes the
information has been obtained only
after personal visits. In one State 1.8OO
questionnaires had to be sent out to
bring in the needed figures, and In
some It has been found that practi.
cally no records have been kept. For
some of the counties in New Mexico
questionnaires had to be translated
into Spanish before the road officials
could understand them.

I'D NOW RESTS
UPON RED ROSE


Lonas Leonard, Nh Italian Of
Rock island, was refused permits
sion to operate the Red Rose hotel,
Davenport, once b notorious black
and tan resort, located At Fourth
and LeClaire streets, which he is
said to have recently purchased
from Emeal Davis, Rock Island res
taurant proprietor.
According to Chief of Police
Charles Schleuter, Leonard will be
allowed 10 retain the hotel in his
possession, but must use 1t for
private purposes only. Il refused
Leonard a license" the chief said,
because I did not like his looks.
Davis license was recently re-
voked after a series Of disorderly
actions in which guns and knives
figured, we're brought to a conclu-
sion by Davenport police. Later
Davis was given back his license
on condition that he run the hotel
for negroes only. Davis himself is
negro.
After his license was returned,
Davis asserted he could not obtain
any business under the restrictions
imposed by the city, dnd his sale
of the place to Leonard Is believed
by police to have been the result OF
poor patronage.

1 Orders that NO more soft drink
zhaS licenses ara to be issued by
Sths city Of Rock Island were an
Snounced yesterday by Mayor Har-
~ N. Schfivef. who suggested to
sCcmmissioner william H. Fitzsim-
mons, head Of the department OF
public health and safety and also
acting chise Of police, that this
SmeaAs be employed to check the
saloon evil under the regime OF
iptchibition.
4 Pieces vhich are to be actually
soda fountains and the like may
take out licenses in the future, the
commissioner said, but those start
ing up ON the basis of sales of soft
drink and liquor substitutes will
not be licensed. The natural ten
Sdency of this class of places, he
Eliminated, ii to drift into the boot
logging business.
4 That only two or three Of the
more fortunate saloonkeepers can
Operate their places WITHOUT selling
liquor is fact that has become
generally recognized The propri-
etors who have been forced to stop
bootlegging during the last two
weeks have admitted almost unani-
rnuusly that they would operate
their places at loss were they tc
sell only near beer and soda poT
and like drinks.
Many Not Expected.
Although it is not considered
likely that many applications will
be made during the coming months
for soft drink parlor licenses, tht
city will refuse to issue them, IN
der provisions Of the understanding
reached yesterday in the matter.
