DEAR MR.. SPENCER; Far be it
from US possessing as we do dis
position to agree with everybody on
every question and on any side of
the question:, far be it from US, as
we started out to say, to start an
argument, or ask for a Congressional
investigation, or anything like that,
but for the life of us we cannot sit
serenely by and allow you to make
extravagant use Of such phrases as
"catch-as-catch-ca liar" in refer
rings to the Autobiography of our
old friend BenYenuto Cellini (who-
ever he was), written in 1548. We
cannot allow you to assail the hith
erto unquestioned integrity of our
old friend by insinuating that the
cruel world need no longer criticize
innocent Anania8, but should turn
from that immaculate gem and cast
their Wither!ng scorn and relentless
rebuke upon that vile impostor, Sig
nor Cellini, who is now in their midst
(or was in their midst about the
time our esteemed fcllow-townsman,
Thomas G. Hudson, first became idcn-
tilted with South Georgia politics.
scattering falsehoods that exceed
those of Ananias as greatly as the
rank disparity that exists between
the gigantic whale and the infnitesi-
mai animalcule, simply because our
old friend CellIni refers to hailstones
so large they could not be held in
the hands, and in order that you may
be forever silenced; in order that you

they get or offering prizes, and
they will find the weevils all right,
"The fields are not infested all
over with weevils at this time. The
pest will now be found in patchs,
in low, rich bottoms, near the
woods, and such places. All that
is necessary is to locate the patches
where they may be found, then
get in and clean them up.
II believe campaign of this
kind right now to be of the utmost
Importance to all Of US. If the
farmers will do it energetically
they have a good chance of max
ing cotton this fall"

out into all the neighborhood. He has
played the old schoolmaster young
again and fixed his thought upon life
that never grows old.
Indeed, the flute player has even en-
couraged the schoolmaster to begin
teaching again. The scholars are his
grandchildren. They are not having
n hard time, for they sing on their way
to lessons. They are not unhappy
scholars, for one of them threw a kiss
to the last Christmas moon. Last
summer another of them became a
poetess and composed the following
appreciation of nature:
Above the Argonne Forest
A Star Is shining fair;
Its gentle beams awaken
The young men sleeping there.
Again in songs of angels
The birth of Christ is told;
The young men go to greet Him
With richer gifts than gold.
The flute player is setting this to
music. This scholar has already
learned to write. She has proved that
by producing an invitation to one Of
the school sessions in this form:
Dear Aunt Fanny:
Please come Friday. II you can; and
II you can't come. don't come.
She is not fiatterer, however, when
she said one day, Grandpa, you don't
look bit over wenty."

OryS mirage ldu
ed away and left but two receding
images before him, he looked once
more upon one who had gone to some
unknown land, the son who had so
mysteriously disappeared from the
home fellowship and ken, and he saw
again the form of her who had set out
for the land that is beyond the stars,
but not before she had placed in his
hand the precious vase with the pic
tured flute player upon its side.
At the time he had not fully noted
the Significance of the happy urchin
In the red robe as he held his flute to
his lips. Pleasures and pursuits
pressed upon him and left the musi
clan unnoticed through the days and
nights. But the boy had never ceased
his playing, and now with some re-
membered melody, then with some new
adventure in the world of harmony,
he seemed to be waiting for the recog-
milton and appreciation that he knew
would come. A steadfast and invet-
crate optimist, he played on; to weari-
ness and loneliness he played hope
full song; forbidding detection and de-
spair, he became a prophet of better
days to come. In solitude and useless
ness he was as an only but changeless
friend. To him the old man turned as
to an oracle. Poverty had taken one
after the other Of his possessions, but
had never been able to separate him
from this merry genius, this incorrigi.
bly, persistent promiser.
If the prelude does not get discour-
aged fortune is likely to admire it and
introduce the performance, and this
turned out to be the reward Of the
Industrious hope of the flute player.
He did not hear the step upon the stair
or the knock upon the door, and he
did not see the amaZement with which
the schoolmaster listened to the tale
of his lost son, as he embraced him
and tried to realize that he had in
deed come back and brought good for
tune with him, but even more merrily
and madly he played in the dance with
which these two were TO go down the
future.
Habits are strange things. One can
get so far into habit of gladness as
