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. No Qripe When you take Hood’s Pills.

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.

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. ’ —Pittsburg (flironicle-Telegraph.
