The Three Little Penguins.

AS soon as you looked at him you
noticed the brilliant, startlingly bril-
liant, color of his eyes. They were Of
blue-green color and looked as the
sea might look in a warm, tropical
country.
He had no fear of anyone. He was
quite contented.
But the three little penguins wanted
to play. They came up on the rocks
and they were delighted as some Of
their friends came inside their rocky
yard and sat upon the rocks which
overlooked their pool.
They came up, their fippers moving
as they walked. and they walked over
to their friends and enjoyed being
stroked and petted.
They were fond of people and they
were not shy at all. They enjoyed
their friends and they spent great
deal of time playing.
They ate fish and they enjoyed them
selves immensely. But mostly they
enjoyed being petted. particularly one
who had been named Pinky because of
a little pink tinge to his feathers
around his face and throat.
Up and down and over the rocks
walked the three little penguins. They
did not pay much attention to the
| fiightless bird or the African penguin.
They had such good time by them
selves If they bumped into each other
or walked upon one another's feet, no
one minded.
They were all so friendly.
Their flippers shook. their little
bodies waddled and three nicer little
tame gentle. friendly, playful pen
gums could not possibly be seen.
They had never known many people,
but those they knew they liked.
They had had no reason to think
people were other than gentle and
kindly and good to animals And
happy they were as their friends came
inside to see them and they rubbed up
against them and were petted
Three little penguins in a strange
country but among friends who had
brought them here and who came to
see them every once In while.

In where they were. But such Wis

ming ways and their new homel The

THREE LITTLE PENCUINs

They were three little penguins.
They were very, very small for PEN
gums and they were very cunning.
In the same zoo home with them
was a penguin from Africa, bigger
than they were but not so big as the
Emperor Penguin or the Johnny Fen
gum or the King Penguin.
The African penguin was better
looking than they were, perhaps. He
wore black and white suit and their
suits were dark grayish-black and
were not dressy at all
But they were pets and they were
affectionate, which was more than
could be said for the African penguin.
He didn't bother much about anyone.
Then, too, in this same zoo home
was fiightless bird. He had webbed
feet and he swan but he couldn't fly.
This bird and these little penguins had
come from islands off the coast OF
South America and these islands had
seldom been visited by people.
The flightless bird family had, in
all those quiet years. lost the desire
to fly. and then they had forgotten
how to fly.
He walked about on the rocks or
swan in the saltwater pond which
they had built in the zoo for these
creatures. He wriggled his neck about
In different positions and looked quite
strange, and he was as large as a
duck, though he didn't look anything
like a duck at all. He looked like
himself.
He wore grayish suit Of feathers
very dark, and of course they were
wet as he spent so much time in the
water.
His wings were by his side, his neck
was long, but his eyes were the most
remarkable.
You seemed to notice them at once

LIVED before the Civil war and suffered
through it and have survived the near
1y sixty years since it was over but
have heard something lately that | never
heard before although | have tried to Keep
in mind all the happenings of this extended
period.
Until few days ago l never knew that
it had been seriously proposed to authorize
a new state, which would have included the
section where [ have sojourned for more
than seventy years, and that state was to be
bounded on the north by West Virginia, and
would also include a part of old Virginia on
the west a considerable part of western
North Carolina and as much of Kentucky
and Tennessee on the east, with small part
of South Carolina, part of the Ninth con-
gressional district of Georgia and a good
deal more of the Seventh district, with Car
tersvlle on the southern border and part
of northeastern Alabama The diagram was
shown in the aforesaid article and it would
have been a state large as New Jersey, or
either Vermont New Hampshire.
The first name suggested was Appalacia,
because the Appalachian range of mountains
was a dsting gushing feature, but after Presi-
dent Lincoln was assassinated by Wilkes
Booth the name was to be LINCOLN, with a
capital in the neigh borhood of Knoxville,
Tennessee.
At that time Mlledgeville was the capital
of the state of Georgia. 1t was not moved
to Atlanta until Governor Bulock's time,
and he was elected in 1858.
1t might have been done, and the perfect
ed plan carried out easily, because the Sc
cession states had no representation in con-
gress to make violent opposition, until the
early '70s.
1t was not explained as to its failure in
this magazine article here mentioned. And
cannot understand why 1t was not mar
rated in Georgia while it was being planned.
I surely am perplexed to know that 1t es-
capped my vigilance. | began to cultivate
scrap books in 1874, and this proposition
would have been interesting, of course, and
given prominence.
The magazine article proceeds to say that
the inhabitants of the proposed Lincoln
state were Union men, by a large majority.
This is apparently true, but | believe the
Ninth district in Georgia had many more
Union men than the Seventh. East Tennes-
see and West Virginia were then. and al
ways. have been, Union, distinguished
from secession
The Union men in the upper counties of
were bitter feuds for years, long after Geor-
gia recovered her state sovereignty, and the
embers of hate quickly shine in heat when
quarrel starts in the mountains. West Vir-
ginia is ranked a Republican state. 1t is
probable that Lincoln state might have had
more Republicans than Democrats.
But the proposed plan did not materialize
and if there is ever a state, named for Lin
coin 1t will be in the great west. where sub
divisions can be made in the more sparsely-
settled states, that will be subdvided in
years to come.

THE CASE OF MIR. DAUGHERTY

FrER Mr.. Daugherty had resigned his
u position as attorney general of the
United States it was published far and
wide that he would defend himself as a pri-
vate citizen, from charges which he had not
been allowed to resent by Wheeler's probe
committee in the senate. Such action was
manifestly human The public expected what
the newspapers called deadly blast His
resignation was forced by membe~ of his
own party, and the defense could T. get the
opportunity to deadly blast such people as
Jake Hamon, who, although dead, was Tree
ly quoted, and the convicted train robber,
Jennings, and the so-called Mrs. Jess Smith
who left her husband before he committed
suicide, and resumed her first name. Miss
Stimson. Her character record had been
fully explained in the newspapers of Ohio,
and yet she given four days before the
senate to repeat over and over again what
she averred was told by Jess Smith to her
before he killed himself.
The attorney general had no showing at
all. His legal counsel Vainly protested. 1t
was go. Fifty years from now this fake
trial before senate committee will be freely
discussed, and | hazard nothing when
prophesy, will be freely condemned. This re-
public cannot long retain Its name under
such conditions, and the resignation of Mr.
Daugherty will stand on par, and far more

Kibourne socially. His daughter married

Information was correct, and | feel sure it
is correct. To return to Mr.. Daugherty's
case, it is we'll to say that he was eminently
wise in refusing to do what his political enc
mics were nagging him to do, namely, to
repel their secret enmity by giving the public
the inside facts and thus blasting both the
foes of the arraigned official and the cruel
opposition. 1t was fully expected that this
wounded Samson would grasp the pillars of
structure the gang, thus bull-baiting him.
and thus annihtlate his own political exist
ence for all time to come.
But he did not do this very suggestive
thing, because it would have been called re-
venge by the Republicans who disliked him,
and a victory of Jake lannon's witnesses
and AL Jennings, train robber, as a witness,
and of Miss Stimson, who is better known
and less important in Ohio than before the
partisan Wheeler committee. Unless the
prosecution of her husband kills Mr. Daugh-
ertys sick wife, and unless Mr.. Daugherty
should become too ill to do what he mani
testify intends to do after the political deck
is cleared for final action, Harry Daugherty
will make the welkin ring when his time

The remarks is inaccurate, but hints at
the truth.
The truth is, there are two kinds of
women: those who shine at home and those
who shine away from home.
There are some women who are interest
ing bright, entertaining and attractive only
when they are in the presence of their FAM
lily; there they are charming, but the mo-
ment stranger enters they become awk-
ward and restrained.
There others who are never at their
best except in company; stranger ami

Just as there is one kind of woman who

tifu when she is baking bread, darning
stockings, or caring for the baby When
she goes out she is apt to be dowdy. She
can wear a house dress to perfection, but
when she arrays herself for the theater snA
is a mistake.
The other woman's home appearance Is
simply sinful, while she is admired by every
one when she is in gorgeous array.
Perhaps both kinds are needed. Society
would be a dull affair if it were not for
the women who love crowds and promi-
nence; they illuminate what would other

Some women are made for the delight
of strangers and others for the delight OF
their own families.
1t is only you, my dear, who are ador-
able both at home and abroad.
Still, as in the case of most philosophiz-
ing about women, the same observations
might be made of men.
