* featuring Americas first woman SEN
ator, Mrs. W. H. FELTON,, of Georgia,
not as strident politician Of the times, but
IL the dearly honored roles of womanhood.
This gray-haired lady of the Old South,
whose keen intellect made her a leader
among the women of the New South, is pic
tured as she cuddles fluffy helpless baby kit
tens on the steps of her Gainesville home
knitting a serviceable shawl for cold winter
days, with the sugge ton that knitting will
prove fine occupation during weary hours
of filibustering and useless argument in the

light in the eyes that glow brightly beneath
the gray hair are proof enough that even the
coveted honor of a seat in the Senate Of the
greatest nation of the world is an insignifi-

heart of womanhood.
And who is better qualified to sit in the
councils of the wise than a mother who has
met and solved problems undreamed of in
the minds of men; grandmother in whose

(TO BE CONTINUED)

It is woman's inability to say a thing
once, and be done with it, that does more
than anything else to ALLEVIATE the affec-
ton of husbands from their wives, and
destroy all confidence between them. The
natural impulse of a young husband is to
tell his bride everything, to relate to her
the story of his life, to tell her of the
mistakes he makes, because he Graves her
sympathy.
Most men start out this way, but few
men ever repeat the mistake, for they find
that their wives harp upon any error they
have committed and that they never hear
the last of it. Wives are always holding
postmortems upon the weakness to which
their husbands have confessed. Let there
be shortage of money, and wife will
remind her husband of money he loaned
friend twenty years ago, and that was
never repaid. Let him once in his youth
have been drunk, and she will throw it in
his teeth when he is SO old he has only
got false teeth. Women never forget, and
never cease talking about their grievances.
It's repetition of the same old admoni-
tions, the same old criticisms, the same old
advice, the same suggestions, day after
day, year after year, that makes family
life get upon our nerves until there are
times when we feel as if we would like
to arise and choke those nearest to US.
1t is being told over and over and over
again to put on your rubbers, to take a
heavy coat, not to drink your coffee black,
not to read in that light, not to sit up
with your book, not to goNout when it is
raining, not to do this, not to do that, or
to do this, and do that, that makes every
child, at times, secretly a paracide in his
heart, and every husband and wife have
their moments in which they contemplate
wife and husband desertion.
And it is our acquaintances who cannot
say thing once and have done with it who
so often make friendship burden instead
of a joy. None of us object to hearing
about our friends children, their automo-
bile, their business and their health once.
In fact, we are keenly interested the first
time, but when we have to hear every de-
tail Of their offspring's lives, and listen
to the score Of the miles they have made
in their machine, and hear every cory in
cident Of the operating room, every time
we meet them we are bored to tears.
The moral of all this is that words are
valuable in proportion to their rarity. The
less we say, the more eagerly we are lis
tened to, and the most valuable lesson that
any of us can learn is to say thing once,
and then let it go at that

The Fair and the Farm Lad

- many persons, the most interesting
feature of the Southeastern Fair was
the agricultural school for boys, a
division unfamiliar to a large extent to the
fair-going crowds but one which is produc-
ing excellent results in Georgias agricul-
tural development.
This year, according to the announcement
of the officials of the fair association, more
than two hundred boy were enrolled in the
school, These boys represented one hundred
counties. Under Mr.. J. Phil Campbell,
director of the extension work in agricul-
ture of the State College of Agriculture, they
were learning the latest methods Of farming
and were being instructed, particularly, in the
raising of fine live stock. The work was being
carried on under the joint supervision of the
state and federal authorities, the various
counties financing the school. Each county
was allowed two representatives.
The school this year, according to Mr..
Campbell, was the INST successful ever held;
and he attributes the remarkable agricultu-
raj and live stock exhibits to the influence of
the school during the past several years.
With such influences as his at work to
train The boys of the state to a perception of
Georgia's agricultural possibilities, there is
every reason to hope that the slogan "back
to the soip' will become reality. Through
the school they are learning the value of sys-
tenn, the scientific methods of planting, har-
vesting and marketing their crops, the neces-
sity for conservation of the soil and the re-
sources of the woodland stretches.
knowledge of these things constitutes the
difference between the thrifty successful
one; the difference between the state that
is agriculturally rich and the one that is
spasmodically prosperous.
Stern necessity, the pressure of a rigorous
, climate and a hard unyielding land, taught
the New England farmer the value of con-
slant application and unremitting attention
to agricultural detail The south's generous
climate, it's easy crops, have tended to pro
duce negligent and careless farming methods
and these have cut down full production and
prosperity.
But, as indicated by the school for boys at
the fair, Georgia is moving in the right
direction and it will not be long before it
takes its proper rank with states in other
parts of the country.
The only safe world series bet is that

to speak.
Boston looked at her, and she looked
gravely at him. Her eyes filled with a

the breath of distant laughter, seemed to
remind him of some one he had known long
ago, in life far simpler than this of ours;

there was unaccountable sadness in his

There may have been prehistoric pestilences.
For many centuries there may have been no

For time there were in southern Europe
drifting communities of some little known
people who are called the Azilianss They
may have been transition generations; they
may have been a different race. We do not
know. Some authorities incline to the view
that the Azilians were the first wave Of a
race which, as we shall see later, has played
a great part in populating Europe, the dark
white or Mediterranean or 1berian race.
Mysterious Pebbles
These Azilian people have left behind them
multitude of pebbles, roughly daubed with
markings of an unknown purport. The use
or significance of these Azilian pebbles is
still profound mystery. Was this some sort
Of token writing? Were they counters in
some game? Did the Azilians play with these
pebbles or tell story with them, as>imagina-
tive children will do with bits of wood and
stone nowadays? At present we are unable
to cope with any of these questions.
We will not deal here with the other vari-
GUS peoples who left their scanty traces in
the world during the close Of the New Palae-
olithic period, the spread of the forests
where formerly there had been .steppes, and
the wane Of the hunters, some 10000 or 49,

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY IRWIN COBB


THE REVEREND HAD A LITTLE LAMB
The pastor Of colored church in Tennessee
was hailed before the board of deasons on seri
Gus charges. 1t was alleged that although
married he had been caught in the act of en-
brac1ng comely female member of the con-
gregatlon, IN the vestry room. The evidence
against him appeared to be conclusive. Three
presumably unbiased witnesses testified to
the fact.
The accused was asked whether he had any
thing to say in his own defense. He answered,
at length and with eloquence. He led off by
pointing out that the word pastor was a
Latin word meaning Shepherd" Therefore,
he properly was a shepherd. He also called
the attention of the court to the fact that in
pictures and paintings and more frequently in
stalned-glass memorial windows the Master
Himself was shown as shepherd carrying
lamb.
Now then, he contended, it naturally fol-
lowed that when he, as the shepherd, took
member OF his flock in his arms, he merely
was carrying out the SCriLtural example.
In the minds of the deacons there seemed
to be no way of controverting these argu-
ments. Accordingly they went into executive
session and drew up resolutions generating
the preacher. But they added proviso.
The concluding clause of the document as
read by the senior deacon before the congre-
cation on the following Sunday night, ran as
follows:
"And be it finally resolved dat in future,
ef our beloved pastor should feel de desire
stealin' over him to TEX one of de lambs of de
flocks in his arms, dat he shall TEX ram
lamb"
