Monarch Mills »o™
THE up-to-date farmer, instead of "go
ing to mill,” owns his own grinding
mill and does better grinding and
and saves money. He also grinds for his
neighbors and often makes enough profit
to pay for his mill. He owns a Monarch
Mill —the finest French Burr Mill in the
world. State the kind and
amount of power you have, and
we will tell you som thing inter-
testing about feed

DRIVEN OUT
Wandering in Dixie—
By SOLON HUME BRYAN.
gr
town which I will call Maxey and still
get back to Juliette in time to fill my
engagement at night. I had only six
hours at my disposal when I stepped
from the train at Maxey.
It is a rule of mine, when I have no
reference, to call on some banker first.
I have found them generally well post
ed on all local conditions and conser
vative in their judgments; and, too,
they are usually interested in the ly
ceum. Well, this day I called at one
of the banks and the cashier referred
me to Mr. White, a merchant. Mr.
White, in turn, referred me to Mr.
Brown, superintendent of the school.
Mr. Brown and Mr. White ran the ly
ceum last year, for which privilege
they paid a $50.00 deficit.
I Warmed His Feet.
Mr. Brown had cold feet, but after
a time I warmed them up by applying
some modern enthusiasm blankets to
the affected parts, and he agreed to be
one of a dozen to sign a contract for
another year. Mr. Brown didn’t want
to be troubled longer, and didn’t be
lieve there were eleven citizens in
Maxey who would assume the respon
sibility with him. “Oh ye of little
faith!” What great things could be
accomplished for our country, if men
only had faith in themselves and their
fellows. So few see beyond the con
fines of their locality and the conven
tionalities of their day! The masses
are asleep, and the pity of it is that
they don’t want to be disturbed.
Mr. Brown told me to get Mr. White
to make the lyceum selections, and
when I called on Mr. White he said to
get Mr. Brown to make them. So, I
hiked back to the school house. 1
went in such haste that the people
along the way looked on in astonish
ment, wondering if I were an escaped
lunatic or a fresh guy from the city,
the two belonging to the same general
species. One beautiful, brown-eyed
maiden peeped from behind the cur
tains as I passed her home, essaying
to divert my course, but I had no
thought then, save that of getting the
selections made and then securing
eleven gentlemen’s signatures.
Speaking of signatures, did you ever
notice how fondly the average person
handles his signature? He first gets
himself in position and when he has
assumed an attitude —the signature
attitude—he parts with his signature
as if he were making a contribution
to the advancement of science or to
the preservative of some lost art.
The average man looks fondly upon
his signature as he leaves it behind,
especially when it is appended to a
lyceum contract.
Well, after running into two chil
dren and a young lady teacher, I fin
ally reached the school house and
Mr. Brown reluctantly made the se
lections. Then the chase was on.
Three hours of the six had, upon feet
as swift as those of time, “skeedadled”
into the past, and I had e’ght august,
profound, important—most important
—signatures to secure.
I Walked and I Talked.
I walked and I talked. The grass
upon the green I trod ruthlessly be
neath my feet in my mad rush for
Chills and Fever quickly

system built up, restored

hands recently, and in looking
up the schedules I discovered
that I could run out to a little

signatures. All business suspended,
and the people gathered together in
little knots to look upon the perspir
ing stranger within their gates, who,
in behalf of the block-and-tackle move
ment, more generally and popularly
known as the “uplift” movement,
struggled and plead with the people
to part with their signatures. Bill
Jones refused to decorate the parch
ment with his signature, because he
lost fifteen cents on a lyceum course
ten years ago. Mr. Samuel Kildare
Scroggins took the position of protec
tor of* the financial interests of the
community, by declaring that no mon
ey should be allowed to leave the
tcwn, and therefore, he didn’t think
the “blamed thing should be allowed
to come.” I learned later that Mr.
Scroggins did not object to money be
ing sent to distant parts in order that
gentlemen (?) might have the privi
lege of satisfying their physical thirst,
and as for Mr. Jones, he recently lost
a cool ten thousand on cotton. One
young fellow had married a wife, and
had decided to deprive her of the
things which would the better fit her
for her new position in life. But he
didn’t tell me what she had married.
One follow didn’t want the lyceum be
cause the young ladies dressed de
cently—said he “wanted to see ’em
in short skirts when he went to ’er
show.” Another had been “stung” be
fore, as he put it, and still another
didn’t like lectures, because they are
dull. That was a new thought to me,
because I had always been under the
impression that the people who didn’t
like lectures were dull. lam glad he
set me right.
Eight, nine—yes, nine signatures are
inscribed on the parchment, and the
train is due in half an hour. Will I
get the other three? Certainly, for
I never allow myself to suppose a fail
ure. As “faint heart never won fair
lady,” so, it also never secured a.
lyceum contract, nor established an
institution, nor successfully fought any
battle. It even takes courage to live
—to sit alone in the dark —with a suf
fragette, for these are dangerous
times.
The Head Light Appears.
Ten, eleven, and the head-light ap
pears in the distance. Only one thing
I lack —a signature. One man had
told me that if I lacked only one he
would be that one, but he found that
I was succeeding and left town. Chas
ing a lyceum contract is an exciting
experience, it is also amusing. I have
known people to contemplate the time
of their departure for the other world
when asked to become interested in
the lyceum. This lyceum business is
a serious problem, when it can make
men pay their debts and prepare for
the future world.
I have my ticket ready, baggage at
hand. The engineer opens the valve
and the whistle blows, announcing the
coming of the train. A great crowd is
at the station to see me off. They do
me honor, though they know it not.
The train comes to a stop. As it does,
a young man with a vision steps for
ward and says, “I’ll sign again,”
thereby assuming a double responsi
bility. As he finishes the writing of
his name Mr. Brown, the teacher,
says, “I didn’t believe you could do
it.” And as the train moves off I
mount the step of the car and reply,
“And that’s why I did it.”

SUPERSTITION. |
C. W. Reese.
“Good morning, Mr. Bailey.”
“Good morning, friend Roberts.”
“Well, I suppose we will start on
our campaign tomorrow. I have just
received a telegram from Hot Springs
stating that you and I are expected
to address the citizens of that place
tomorrow at 3:30 p. m.”
“Tomorrow! Why man, tomorrow
is Friday!”
“To be sure, but why should that
interfere? You’re not going to let
any petty engagements —tennis games
or love affairs —come between you
and your campaign work?”
“Oh, no! Certainly not; but I am
desirous of making this canvass a suc
cessful one. And you know Friday
is an unlucky day.”
“An unlucky day? Why, I am quite
sure that I was not aware that you
are a superstitious man. You, a man
supposed to be well versed in history,
law and politics, superstitious?”
“I can’t exactly say that I’m super
stitious; but I have always Jieard
that Friday is an unlucky day.”
“You don’t mean to say that you be
lieve everything you hear?”
“Oh, no; to be sure not!”
“It seems to me that superstition
is the very embodiment of all that is
unwise and irrational. Some people
are so superstitious that if a rooster
chances to mount their door step, flap
his wings and crow, they are almost
driven into hysterics, for fear a death
will occur in their home in less than
a year. Some folks consider thirteen
an unlucky number; they forget that
the thirteen colonies planted along
the coast of the Atlantic, have pros
