THE LONG, HARD HILL.
They ware standing in the sunlight
Os the summer time of life.
She was still without a huslwindL
He was waiting for a wife.
And her cheeks were rich and rosy,
And her lips were luscious red,
So he pressed her dimpled fingers
As he looked at her and said,
As they stood there in the heather
Where the road had crossed the rill,
“May we not fare together
Up this long, hard hill?”
Now her hand began to tremble
And her eyes were full of tears
As she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years,
But she had no voice to answer
Him ; she could not understand.
For the future lay before her
Like a faroff fairyland.
There was sunlight on the heather.
There was music in the rill,
As they w-ent away together
Up the long, hard hill.
Oftentimes the way was sunny,
Other times ’twas full of lures,
But the love that had come to them
Was the true love that endures.
Though the bonny brow is wrinkled,
Though the raven lock be gray.
Yet the road might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost is on the heather
And the snow is on the rill,
And they’re coasting down the short sld<
Os the long, hard hill.
—Cy Warman in New York Sun.
LET THEM DISCUSS DIDO.
From the Macon Telegraph.
It is said, and with good reason,
that all the world loves a lover. And
nothing is more refreshing than the
enthusiasm of him who sings ballads
to his mistress’ eyebrow, except the
enthusiasm of a friend’s unalloyed
friendship for a friend in the time of
need. Col. Candler, candidate for
governor, is most fortunate in having
at his back the editor of the Gaines
ville Eagle, published in his home
town. The Eagle is for him to the
ultimate claw and feather and it is
ready to voice its sentiments upon
all occasions. Much has been writ
ten and spoken in behalf of the
Plowboy of Pigeon Roost, but the
most hearty, the most appreciative,
the most eloquent tribute to the
worth of the North Georgia aspirant
for gubernatorial honors comes from
the Eagle.
*****
We do not know whether Atkin
son can read Latin “like a dog trot
ting” or whether Handsome Bob is
up on the story of the queen who
committed suicide because ./Eneas
held aloof from her love, and we
really do not know what these things
have to do with the. present cam
paign, but if they involve serious
issues we trust that the accomplished
colonel’s opponents will not ignore
them. Now that the Eagle has
brought fourth the Dido question
and has exalted the colonel because
of his erudition, we see no reason
why the joint debate should not be
had. The gubernatorial campaign
thus far has dragged a trifle, and
there seems to be some indefiniteness
in the matter of practical issues, but
the Eagle proposes Dido. Let us
have Dido by all means. The dis
cussion of her story on the Georgia
stump will add to the gayety of the
political season. It would bring
crowds no matter how darkly might
hover the war clouds. It would di
vert the people.
At one time, when the Paris mob
threatened Napoleon the First and
his ministers appealed to him for
some recourse against the popular
wrath, the alert minded Corsican
turned to them and exclaimed : “Go,
gild the dome of the Invalides.”
Let us discuss Dido!
DICTIONARIES WANTED.
Two or three of the lesser newspa
per lights are jumping upon Editor
Craig, of the Gainesville Eagle, for
using the expression “supposititious
dam rascals.” Some of them go so
far as, either in ignorace or trickery,
to change his spelling and quote him
as saying “suppositious damn ras
cals.” Brother Craig was neither so
ignorant, nor was he profane. Brother
Craig is an educated man, and knows
there is no such word as “supposi
tious” in the English language. He
said “supposititious.” He is an edu
cated man, and had he desired to be
profane would have used the word
“damned,” not “damn.” But he
used the word “dam,” as good an
English word as there is in any lexi
con, with as chaste a meaning. It
means one who catches them both
coming and going, who jumps back
wards as well as forwards, a regular
crawfish and ambidexter combined.
Therefore, Brother Craig’s expres
sion, “supposititious dam rascals,”
simply means spurious rascals who
I adopt any and all methods. There
is nothing profane in it to the student
of English. The longer we live, the
more firmly we are convinced that
there ought to be a dictionary in ev
ery editorial room. If they cannot
get a dictionary, they ought to bor
row an old blueback Webster’s spell
ing book.—Dalton Argus.

KILLING THE WHALE.
Description of the Thrilling and Danger
ous Work by Conan Doyle.
Dr. Conan Doyle, the well known
story teller, enjoyed 17 years ago
the experience of going to the arctic
seas as surgeon of the Hope, bound
for the Greenland fishing grounds,
and in a recent article in McClure’s
Magazine he has related his adven
tures on the ship. His description of
the harpooning of a whale is excep
tionally vivid and graphic.
“It is exciting work,” he says,
“pulling on a whale. Your own
back is turned to him, and all you
know’ about him is what you read
upon the face of the boat steerer.
He is staring out over your head,
watching the creature as he swims
slowly through the water, raising
his hand now and again as a signal
to stop rowing when he sees that
the eye is coming round, and then
resuming the stealthy approach
when the whale is end on.
“There are so many floating pieces
of ice that as long as the oars are
quiet the boat alone will not cause
the creature to dive. 80 you creep
slowly up, and at last you are so
near that the boat steerer knows
that you can get there before the
creature has time to dive, for it takes
some little time to get that huge
body into motion.
“You see a sudden gleam in his
eyes and a flush in his cheeks, and
it’s: ‘Give way, boys! Give way,
all! Hard!’ Click! goes the trigger
of the big harpoon gun, and the
foam flies from your oars. Six
strokes, jjerhaps, and then, with a
dull, greasy squelch, the bows run
upon something soft, and you and
your oais are sent flying in every
direction, but little you care for
that, for as you touched the whale
you heard the crash of the gun, and
you know’ that the harpoon has been
fired point blank into the huge, lead
colored curve of his side.
“The creature sinks like a stone,
the bows of the boat splash down
into the water again, but there is
the little red jack flying from the
center thwart to show that you are
fast, and there is the line whizzing
swiftly under the seats and over the
bows between your outstretched
feet.”
So fast and so furiously does this
line pay out that if it has anywhere
a kink which catches the clothes or
limb of any unfortunate member of
the boat’s crew he is whirled over
board to bis death, many fathoms
deep, almost before his comrades
realize that he is gone. After the
harpooning of the whale the crew of
that boat have no more to do, but
another boat’s crew are eagerly
waiting for their turn.
“The lancing, when the weary fish
is killed with the cold steel, is a
more exciting because a more pro
longed experience,” says Dr. Doyle.
“You may be for half an hour so
near to the creature that you can lay
your hand upon its slimy side. The
whale appears to have but little sen
sibility to pain, for it never winces
when the long lances are passed
through its body, but its instinct
urges it to get its tail to work on the
boats, and yours urges you to keep
poling and boat hooking along its
side so as to retain your safe posi
tion near its shoulder.
“Even there, however, we fount!
upon this occasion that we were not
quite out of danger’s way, for the
creature in its flufry raised its huge
side flapper and poised it over the
boat. One flap would have sent us
to the bottom of the sea, and I can
never forget how, as we pushed our
way from under, each of us held one
hand up to stave off that great,
threatening fin, as if any strength
of ours could have availed if the
whale had meant it to descend! But
it was spent with loss of blood, and,
instead of coming down, the fin roll;
ed over the other way, and we knew
that the whale was dead.”
The Passing of the Court Fool.
“The Court Jesters of England” is
the title of an article by Amelia
Wofford in St. Nicholas. The author
says of the jester of Charles I:
Muckle John was the last of the
court jesters. Tom Killigrew, mas
ter of the revels, groom of the bed
chamber, is often spoken of as jester
to Charles 11, but there is no author
ity to support this claim. He was a
companion of the king, he used his
tongue with the license of the jester
of old, but he had never an official
appointment to that office. Some ef
fort was made during Charles' reign
to restore the jester, but it failed.
The protests of Sir Philip Sidney
and other grave writers of his time
against all fools were not without
effect, but the rule of the common
wealth was mainly responsible for
the banishment of the court fool.
They were especially against the
fools of the stage, and so play
wrights omitted them from their list
of characters long before their dis
appearance from the court. Shad
well’s play of “The Woman Cap
tain” (1680) is probably the last in
which a regular fool appears. The
character* of fool was well liked by
the old playwrights, and in several
of the old plays his disappearance is
bewailed.
As has been said, the custom of
keeping fools was common to all
classes of society in England, but
the court sets the fashion, and with
the banishment of the court jester
the fool disappeared from his other
haunts.
Spirits Inspired Her.
Magistrate—You say your wife
Was drunk when she wrote this let
ter?
Applicant—Yes, sir. She would
only write when very drunk.—Lon

MEN’S SHOES.
What Some Men Spend For Footwear In
the Course of a Year.
The great majority of men now a
days wear ready made shoes, and
the proportion of men that do so is
steadily increasing. There are plen
ty of rich men who buy ready made
shoes. There are some who have
shoes made for them at a cost of
from $13.50 to sls a pair for walk
ing or dress, and buy 10 or 1.2 pairs
in a year.
Such men would have for street
wear a pair of all patent leather
walking boots, either lace or but
ton, the soles heavy and of extra
width, or boots of all enamel leath
er, laced. For dress they would
have light all patent leather button
boots. Some men wear for dress
patent leather Oxford ties. These
would cost, made to order by the
same maker, sl2. A man of extreme
fashion would wear patent leather
pumps. An older man might wear
for a dress boot a silk top patent
leather congress.
For winter wear ih slush or snow*
the man wearing fine shoes would
have a pair of heavy tan oiled grain
leather boots with double extension
soles. These would cost sl6. He
might buy double soled calf boots
or cork soled boots. He might wear
in summer low shoes of French calf
or seal leather, and in spring and
fall boots of brown leather.
If he were a sportsman, he would
have shooting boots of heavy black
or tan grain leather, laced to the
knee; cost, S2O. If he played golf,
he would have golf shoes of heavy
tan grain leather, costing from sls
to $lB a pair. Oxfords of the same
material are also worn by the golf
player. These cost from sl2 to sl4.
For riding he would have gaiters
of patent leather, creole style, or
all patent leather congress boots
with no seam in front. These would
cost from sl4 to $lB a pair, $lB be
ing the price with spurs and boxes
for them in the heels. For riding or
polo he would have boots of patent
or black enameled leather, or of
some shade of brown calfskin or of
tan Russia leather. Riding boots
are made in two styles, with stiff
legs and half stiff legs. The boots
with half stiff legs have a few wrin
kles where the leg and foot join.
The patent leather boots are worn
more for parade. Brown boots are
more worn in summer. A man may
buy one, two or three pairs of rid
ing boots in a year. When not worn,
riding boots are always kept on
trees. Riding boots cost from $25 to
S3O a pair. •
The men who wear shoes of this
kind frequently buy, of such as are
commonly worn, as, .for jnidfln.ce,
walking boots, two pairs at a time,
They never wear the same boots two
days in succession. When not worn,
the boots are kept on trees. Two
pairs of shoes wogp and cared for in
this way will last as long as three
pairs worn each pair continuously,
besides keeping their shape and
looking better. The men who are
here specially referred to never
have their shoes repaired. They
don’t wear them to that age. They
might have the heels of a pair of
boots straightened, but that would
be something unusual, and as a rule
they never wear the soles through.
When the shoes begin to show signs
of wear, they are discarded.
The men who buy shoes of this
sort spend yearly for footwear SISC
and S2OO and more. They include
men in various parts of the country
who come to New York for their
shoes just as they do for their
clothes and shirts and other articles
of wear.—New York Sun.
White House Teas Pay Political Debta.
“One of the familiar inodes of en
tertainment open to occupants of the
White House is the afternoon tea,
which comes very near being in
formal,” writes a cabinet member's
wife in The Ladies’ Home Journal,
referring to an earlier administra
tion than the present one. “Yester
day afternoon Mrs. President enter
tained about 30 ladies in that way,
mostly visitors in town, toward
whom she wished to extend a special
courtesy, such as wives and da ugh
ters of local politicians who had
contributed largely to the campaign
fund or been of use some way or
other. Sometimes an unsuccessful
ly office seeker can be pacific*l by
such special favor bestowed upon
his wife. I know one woman who
went home in high glee showing a
note of invitation dated from the
executive mansion and signed by
the president’s wife as her proud
est possession. For months after
she went home every caller had to
hear all about that private reception
and read the invitation. She was
not a sorehead after that, even if
her husband was.”
Trying It ou the Dog.
“Why, ” asked the curious person,
"do you managers always take your
shows out of town for their first per
formances i”
“Because,” said the manager.
I O’
, “we know that if an outside town
I will stand a show without killing
the company New York will be per
fectly delighted with it.”—lndian
! apolis Journal.
The Longer Six.
“How old are youi” was asked oi
a little English girl who is visiting
in Alleghany.
“I am 6.”
“And how old is your cousin?”
“He is 6, too, but he has been sc
longer than I.”
The boy was a few month 3 older.
