As to Watson’s Magazine. Elsewhere on this page appears a communication from Will T. Hale, the delight fill |s>et of Tennessee, to The Nashville American. In paying n deserved tribute to the Life of Jefferson, Mr. liale speaks of the rumor that Tom Watson will pub lish his magazine in Nashville. As to this Mr. Halo Is In error. Mr. Watson's magazine will ho published from Atlanta, where It will work out Its destiny, and will he a distinct addi tion to the literature of the South. French Family Life. At n time when the escapades of Count llonl and other jetinesse doroe of the Faubourg Saint Germain have been furnishing n more than equitable pait of the news of the world, a lec ture of Prof. Iliirrett Wendell on French Family Life is particularly ap propriate. America and Americans have se cured a sadly erroneous Idea of the rharnctor of the French as a nation. It Is a popular belief that they nro giddy, frivolous, profligate, and almost wholly lurking In Ideals of life or mor ality. Almost the exact converse is true. No nation mi earth Is more economical In domestic affairs or more sternly honest and virtuous than the French. As Professor Wendell lailnts out, the soelnl scheme of the Family dif fers frmij that of the English and the American, and therefore It Is not un derstood by us. The ties of kindred, Inevitable In the course of nature, up- l»*id so strongly to the French mind that, generally speaking, the objects of prime affection 111 Prance are par ents and children. The authority and dignity of parents and the duties of children are eomtunnly admitted tutu observed there with remarkable cor diality. It Is this conception of the family as the fundamental social fact whleh underlies many pnases of French manners a.id law. frequently misun derstood by foreigners. Of these, per haps, the most salient Is the dowry, so often regarded as I iKlUpensablt 1 to marriage. Though In complete control of the husband, so long as the marriage liersisls. It la really In his hands not as a personal possession hut as some thing more like u trust, to he held and freeli administered lor the benefit of the family of which he Is the head. The hold uf the family In French af fection Is implied in the depth of sen timent gathered about the word ‘ foy er." Not precisely equivalent to the English word "home." this Is equally tender in Its associations. It signifies the cent, r when that little social group, the family, gathers together, and where each member of It lias his plaee ami Ills duties. It has at once a more highly devel oped social character than t o English or American home, and. so far as Indi viduals are concerned, ti somewhat less personally private. Each mem ber of the family conceives the affairs of the rest, so far as they concern oth er |ieoole OUT OF THE NEWS OF THE WEEK—A SATURDAY EVENING. fn the news of the week—at best, a sorry mixture of politics and crime and scandal that Is likely to give one mental Indigestion .if be keep not the real good and joy of life always In his mind's eye—there has figured prominently a murder trial Ijelng conducted In the obscure little town of Herkimer. N. Y. Dependent entirely upon the way one looks at It, It may be regarded as a tawdry little tale of sin and Its wages—or It may be regarded** a tragedy of humanity. Of this story, a friend of ours said, In rather terojierlsb manner, the other day: "I don’t see why the newspaiiers print such disgusting stuff! It Is just the same old story—telling of the worst there Is In life; those who figured In It were of the lower class of sqclety—and what good can come of ventilating that sort of thing?" / Our reply was that the Ideal of a newspaper Is, of course, to give In formation: also, In the giving of Information, to reflect life as It Is. Here Is the skeleton of the story: • A young factory girl, good looking, but with hardly any education, a farmer's daughter, was waiting at her father's home for a man to come and-right the wrong—so far as he might—he had done her. After a long time, he came. They went ostensibly for a day's outing on a lake. Then some one heard a death cry ring out across the waters of Big Moose. The next day the girl's body was pulled up from the bottom of lhe lake. The man, n sallow, anemic Bort of fellow, somewhat above the girl as to station In life, Is now on trial for his life. On one of the days of the trial this week the usual crowd of morbidly Inquisitive people was packed in the dingy little courtroom. _ They were expecting a “sensation.’’ In the course of the morning the prosecutor Introduced Into the trial, as evidence, letters written by the dead girl, to the mao now facing the penalty of death. As the first letter was read to the court, a quiet, unbroken except by the slow tones of the prosecutor, fell upon the people who, a moment ago, were craning to get a look at the prisoner. All over the room handker chiefs were at the faces of the women. Before he had read two of them the people had begun to realise that the depths of human love and suf fering were being laid bare. Then the crowd who had come to satisfy a banal curiosity, broke into sobs. * After the prosecutor had finished reading the first two or three, he had to sit down to keep from-crying, and the court was adjourned for five minutes to,allow the state's attorney to regain his composure. As the court stenographer, a veteran who had been at a score of mur der trials, took notes of tho letters, the tears rolled down his cheeks. The chief of police, who had for ten years been In direct contact with suf fering. misery and sorrow, calloused and unemotional, pulled his hat down over his eyes, left the courtroom and went to his room. As letter arter letter, tolling of her suffering and the forgiveness and love which the girl gave to the young man, was read, men and women got up, choked with sobs, and stole away. Those letters showed that the love of the girl had transfigured her shame and sorrow Into one of the grandest expressions of human emo tion. The reading of them In the court room changed the vulgar cu riosity of the crowd Into a feeling of surpassing pity and compassion for one who had sinned, nnd their feeling of Indifference toward the defend ant Into hate of one who had failed to do the man's part In the drama. The girl had had practically no education, and was of humble caste In life. So humble was it that her lover always went secretly to see her. Yet In all the literature of the world there is not finer expression of pure and surpassing love thau In these twelve letters of the factory girl. Thus, out of the degradation of sin comes an example of all tnut is best In human nature—an example that must move all witnesses to rev erence and pity and honor and compassion for tho frailty and yet the strength of a woman's love as shown in the case of Grace nrown. , As there Is no such thing in human nature as absolute good, so there Is no such thing as absolute sin. ' And let us from this caso draw the conclusion that one who has fallen may yet bo purer and better and nobler than you and I. That is the lesson of the little murder trial at Herkimer. It Is not merely a tawdry little tale of sin and Its wages. implies not only wifely devotion, but filial and material as well, together with scrupulous attention to house hold duty; and the ldoal of a hus band's duty Is no less comprehensive iban that of n wife's. Disregard of do mestic rectitude Is ncordlngly held almost ns blameworthy as disregard of conjugal. In sum, the French re- gnrd themselves not primarily as in- Utvldunls. hilt us members of their do mestic social organism, which they cherish with Intense affection. The Ship Subsidy Steal. The ship subsidy steal, passed by the senate last session, nnd which will come up before the house when It convenes In a few days. Is beginning to be boomed by Republicans and Re publican organs. In Ills speech delivered the other day before the Trans-Mississippi Com- inerclnl congress. Secretary of State Ellhti Root made a strong plea tor sup port of this measure. "The latest trade statistics." said the secretary, "show exports from South America to foreign countries of $745,- 530,000, and Imixrrts of $499,858,600. Of the 1500,000,000 of goods that South America buys we sell them but 103,216,525, or 12.6 per cent. Of the $745,000,000 that South America sells we buy $150,092,000, or 20.4 phr cent, nearly two ami a half times as much us we sell." The chief of Ills suggestions ns to measures to develop commerce be tween the Americas was that of In creasing—or as he said, establishing— the American merchant marine. The only way to do this. Mr. Root argues, Is by subsidizing the ships. In short, he, as spokesman of the Republican party, wants the American shipbuilding trust to be made richer at the expense of the people. In re turn for which contributions the peo pie get nothing. There was once a powerful Ameri can merchant marine. It dwindled because of two things : First—the protective tariff enables the American shipbuilders to charge xtortlonate prices for their output— shlp-bnildfng trust, which Is charging higher prices for Its product thau the European builder. See the steal? The subsidy Idea Is demonstrated to be unsound by every hand-book on economics. Sometimes thore Is justifi cation for It. In extraordinary circum stances, but In the present case It Is nothing but an attempt at highway robbery by tho Republican party. The only logical and equitable solu tion of the merchant marine problem Is to admit foreign-made ships to American registry. Evelutien of Democracy in Denmark.

'Our common Im pression that French marriages are arranged without much regard to the Inclination of the parties.

At the present time, when economical conditions in America have become such that a radical change of system seems an absolute necessity and proba bly will be forthcoming In a very near future, a few linen showing how the people of Denmark have risen from the utmost poverty to one of the wealthiest people In the world, may not be without Interest, as evolution In the United States will probably In many ways follow the same track. After the disastrous war with Aus tria and Prussia in 1834, tho people of Denmark were Annnctally crushed and there seemed small prospect that they would be able to recover within a few years, as they actually did. In the beginning of the seventies the means of communications In Europe suddenly developed In jumps and bounds and shortened the distance bet wen the countries, and especially between America and Europe and the former beghn to supply Europe with grain; thereby, seriously affecting the Danish people, which, on the whole, is depend ing upon the prosperity of agriculture. Farming property went down In price to such an extent that In the middle of the eighties they were worth only 60 per cent of their former value. It was then that the Duniah farmer showed the world the stuff he was made from. He saw that It was necessary, to change all his methods, his whole sys tem of farming, and he did it. From being a grain producing and grain Im porting country, Denmark became a grain Importing country, Importing corn from the U. 8., lmrley from Russia, etc. It began to export. Instead of grain, meat, bacon, butter and eggs, and rapidly made for Itself a market, where the superiority of Its products was Immediately realised. This whole change took place simul taneously, with the farmers forming large co-operative concerns using ma chinery and steam power. In 1880 the first separator was introduced and in the beginning It was only a few enter prising men who built co-operative dairies and bought up the milk from the smaller farmers, thereby making fortunes In a very short time. It did not take long, however, before the small farmers discovered that they .might just as well have their own co-opera tive dairies and keep the profit as to fill the pockets of others. In 1882 the first real co-operative dairy was opened and soon was fol lowed by others all over the country, until thore Is now no longer In the whole kingdom a peasant who does not own one or more shares In a dairy' and who gets for his butter and cheese as much as the owner of the best estate. In the same way the farmers join ed hands to dispose of their eggs. All over the country depots have been made where fanners deliver their eggs, which then will be shipped to England; tho value of this export 1s now over sixty million dollars a year. All these co-operative concerns are not socialistic—the right of u private party to own real estnto is nnd always has been the foundation, but they are exceedingly democratic and in one re spect very much different from stock companies—you do not vote according to the number of shares you hold, but each shareholder has only one vote, no matter whether he holds one or a thousand shares. There are a few concerns where we say that the cows vote, that Is to soy, you have as many votes ns you have cows, but these con cerns are very' few, and altogether the principle, one man one vote, is recog nised. It has never been the object or en deavor of any Danish man to get ahead of his fellow' citizen, and It Is here that we Danes are different from Americans. In the United States it has always been the wish of every/am bitious man to make an enormous for tune, even If he had to trample upon his follow men to do so, but In Den mark we have ulways thought It would be better to have the profit divided umong ns many as possible, the ob ject lias always been to get ahead together with your fellow citizens nnd comrades and this feeling of solidarity Is one of tho traits In the nntionnl char acter that we have the most reason to be proud of. This whole agricultural has, of course, also Its dark sides. People say that the (>eople living In the country do not get us nourishing food as In former days. • . The good, sweet milk upon which the children of the fanner and the farm hands were fed, no longer exists; It is too expensive. As soon as milk has been taken from the cow, It is imme diately brought to the dairy and re turns skimmed milk; a wholesome drink hut not ns nourishing or ns pleasant to the taste us tho old-fash ioned fresh milk. This lias brought result tlmt the children of the farmers are less strong than in former generations, and that they are subject sickness formerly unknown. Physicians Insist tlmt diseases like catarrh of the stomach are spreading in the count it. and It has been proven by government statistics that the av erage height of children of farmers Is smaller than It used ti> he. Hut In other respects there has been good progress. The wages of the work ing men in -the farming communities has Increased. While it used to be three hundred crowns a year about thirty years ago. It Is now between five and six hundred crowns. To he sure, this Is not very much compared to wages in the United States, but It should be remembered that everything Is cheaper In Denmark and that a crown will buy as much or nearly as much as a dollar. Politically the Danish farmer * has risen from obscurity, and, as a Dane. I am proud to say that a small farmer holds a grout privilege in the present Danish cabinet: and that a man who a few years ago was under arrest be cause he refused to pay taxes which he Insisted were levied without propet authority. So quick has b*»en the evo lution of the Democratic Idea In the Kingdom of Denmaik—It will proba bly be many years before the people of America gel so far. Government ownership of public fa il lit let 1 has also contributed considera ble to the prosperity of the country* The government has brought under cultivation nfore than «»ne hundred Danish square miles of moorland, and has thereby gained for the nation al most as large a territory as that w hich Germany took away from us after the war In IS64. A network of railroads lias been built nil over the country, and these railroads are government roads. We have a few railroads owned by private parties, but these are unimportant, dis liked and will shortly pass Into the hands of the government. The gov ernment has built railroads, steam fer ric:* for transportation across the nounds and belts, nnd we are all well kings, as known In the United States. Rates for both passengers and freight are low*, still the railroads pay well. Nearly all of our waterworks, gas works and electric light w'orks are owned by the municipality and light and water are supplied to the consumer at a very reasonable price. No private monopoly is making fortunes by'selling these necessities of life, the people of Denmark would never stand for such extortion. Street cars In Copen hagen are still owr.od by a corpora tion. which, however, is under very strict municipal control. Nobody has made any fortune from street car franchises as the case Is in America, and In another jfenr all the rolling stock, rails, etc., of the street car com pany will pass Into the hands of the municipality, the franchise granted to the corporation having then expired. We have municipal employment of fices where any man may go and ask for and find work. And we have many other democratic Institutions of which we are proud, and upon which we build our hope of a happy future. We do not believe In the force of arms, but In the growth of the univer sal peace Idea, which should form part of the program of the workingman’s party all over the w'orld. We have seen how the people of Sweden lost year prevented war between Norway and Sweden, and In Germany and France it Is also the workingmen who force the government to keep the swords In the scabbard. Socialistic workingmen In the German radical Reichstag advocate the cause of Schleswig, and If working men ever get the power which they now have In Denmark, we will have that part which we were robbed of in 1864, re turned to us by Germany. We do not believe in the famous English statement that Small nations are doomed to disappear. We believe that the international evolution Is the protector of the small nations and that In thts we have our best advantages as Norway had It In the 8wedlsh Social istic Democracy that did not want war. During my stAy In the United States I have seen that we can learn much froth America, and shall do my best to see that we shall take advantage of this, but I have also seen that the peo ple of America can learn much from us, especially In regard to an evolution of the true,democratic Idea.

Synopsis of Preceding Chapter*, Hiram Hlghslgn In dragged from his maple syrup farm by a passing balloon, from which he Is dropped by the aero nauts. He naves hln life by clutching the left leg of a sparrow as he fall*. Chapter III. Having presented the sparrow with three crumbs as a reward for saving hln life, Hiram looked around him. He wan near a large farm house, and from the sound* which came through the open window he concluded that the owner was beating his wife, In one of the fields a man was shooting rab bits. On the road a motorist was run ning over a pig. "Ah!" said Hiram. "I'm atlll within the border* of civilisation." On discovering a sign boosting apple- jack, Hlranl was able to get a still more accurate Idea of hi* whereabouts. Greatly cheered that he was not In .Morocco or some other country where the Illiterate foreigner* did not speak English, Hlrnm advanced toward the farm house. Then he paused. A large dog was looking at hint In a deucedly inquisitive way. "Nice doggie," aald Hiram. Not a word said the dog. "I only want to knock at the door," said Hlrain. Not a word In reply. Hiram advanced a foot. The dog gripped him by the apltle. Hlrain yelled. A woman came to the door. "What's the matter with you?" she asked. "The dog! The dog!” gasped Hlrain. "Never mind him." said the woman, "he won't hurt yorf." •Won’t hurt me!" shouted Hiram, “he'a got tne by the leg!" "Well, well: that’s only In play." sold the woman. "After a while he'll lot you go." "Oh, he will, will he?" remarked Hi ram between groans. "I thought he was going through life with me—like a Siamese twin. "All light," answered the woman. Come In and make yourself at home, when Carlo lets go.” Two hours later Hiram entered 'the kitchen of the house, closely followed by Carlo. “See, Carlo likes you now," said the woman, who had invited Hiram within. 'He's following you about like an old friend." “Like an old friend, nothing.” re sponded Htyam, with some heat. “He's following me around until he gets hungry again." "But I'll fix him," he added, picking up a pumpkin pie and quickly twisting It Into a lasso. As he twirled the lariat around his head there was a terrific explosion. (To be continued.) !

His “Life of Jefferson'* Is excellent. I know of no biography more readable, and In It he has done wonders to show up Southern history as it is. A few such books will give the Great Northern Glory Trust a less exalted opinion of Its absorbing power.

By CHOLLY KNICKERBOCKER., , New York, Nov. 24.—The first public view ^of the painting:, "Christ Chiding Martha," yesterday dlacloied the fact that tho artist has been at work " lm It for a halffcentury and more.

Mrs. Frank Hawlev sent Miss Gray Into the ring yesterday to show her pair of ponies, ltressav Pm,, ford and Aberdeen of Plttsford.

When GEORGIAN'S IN GOTHAM. New York, Nov. 24.—Here are some of the visitor* In New York today: Atlanta—J. H. Avery. Augusta—W. E. Bush. THIS DATE IN HISTORY. When an elderly man from New York mar ried an attractive widow, with high ambition*, he obtained the good offices of Mr*. CJtauncoy Depew. Now Mr*. Depew I* deeply chagrined over the termination ot that matrimonial epi sode. The elderly spouse of that charming French-Amcrlcan gave a great feast and It proved something like the Biblical banquet. All those first Invited had pressing engagements and Mrs. Depew was compelled to resort to persuasion nml Inducement to get the number required to grace her board. Some of thosa over-persuaded expresa great Indigna tion that they were ao deceived. The same is true of another old and enor mously rich senator, who married In rather an unconventional way. He In duced some of the senatorial women whom he had lavishly entertained In the days when he was supposed to be a single man to be courteous to his wife. But these women were ao ae- versely censured by their colleagues that they beat a retreat and refused to sponsor the rich man's bride In her ef forts for social recognition In Washing ton. The motoring world today is rubbing Its eyes In wonder at the most sudden and unexpected transformation ever recorded In automobile clubdom, when the New York Motor Club emerged from a trade organisation to a formid able rival of the Automobile Club of America aa an aspirant for national honors. In half an hour the entire complexion nnd policy of the organiza tion was altered. Samuel B.
