feet a-cro3t tho top. We couldn't find
gay hole In it. John said It must be
holler at the top, for ole Ketch said thar
was a ’possum in it, and ole Ketch never
told a lie.
“So I lifted John up. 9-Vs he could look
la at the top, and he held the torch over
an’ gazed down into the stomp. john
gave a long yell of triumph. ‘What is
itf sez II.
“ 'A Whole stump full of ’-possums!’

« ’Well,’ eez I, ’you’re glttln’ -heavy.’

I -done aa.
” 'How'll you git ’em?’ sez I. as John-

It wasn’t a largo thing but a stump full
of skunks. I tell ye, they made the night
melodious and tho air malodiurons an’
I got adray frum thar mighty quick. I
knowed JOhn couldn’t git out, and I
knowed likewise. I wasn’t gpin’ to ven

met old Doctor Glum as we went back,
and he tuck a bottle of stuff thet he
called dis’Coctant, an’ poured it all ever
us. When wo arrived at the scene of
smclldom, we found ole Ketch lyin’ down
’bout a hundred yards away, and In
side the stump everything were as quiet
os a dum supper, but smellin’ a heap
louder. We flew -in and chopped a big
door in the side of that stump, and found;
John in a dead faint, inside-, with two!

“John was tip and ’bout tho next day,

HOW I MADE AN ADDBES8.
It was the chaplain’s “first day,” and—
being considered the elocutionist of the
school—1 was asked to deliver the ad
dress. I wrote it and committed It to
memory, by hard studying and re
hearsing. until 1 could say it with mV
eyes shut. But when the eventful day
arrived, and the time came for me to
“do my ®tunt.“ as they say nowadays—
why 1—but X wil! let my chum tell the
story. Sho put it into rhyme, as sJhe
bad done others of what she called mV
pranks. To leave the measure fit, let
u toe assumed that my name is Joyce.
The versos ran in this wise:
“One's destiny must be fulfilled—
Joyce, who's in elocution skilled,
Was asked on Feast day to recite
A. speech which she must first indite.
To the request she answered, “Yes,”
And forthwith wrote the said address.
When came the day, our Joyce W£s there.
Fair looked she—yes, “divinely fair,”
Her speech was very well begun.
But in the middle she broke down;
Her hand to her flushed forehead went.
And on the floor her look was tent;
Leaving the audience the while,
Gorno to feel for her, some to smile.
Off of the stage at length she walked.
As cool as though she had not balked;
But back stie came and took her stand.
A manuscript held in her hand.
From this she road that same address.
Which was admired none the less.”
Well, as soon as I finished reading
the tiling, I flew down to the recreation
hail, and there I remained till the gong
sounded for dinner. The girls hunted
for me, and when they found me. toid
me that the chaplain wanted to see me,
as h.- thought 1 showed perseveryaoe in
finishing the address under difficulties-;
tout I did not go to him; instead, went
off and tor,!; a big cry. Wasn’t that like
a srilly girl? Next day the chaplain told
me he wanted me to give him a copy of
the address; so I wrote it off neatly for
biro and sled it wllti blue ribbon, my
chum said, to show that I was Hie
champion eler-ufionist of the school, Ike.

AN EXPLANATION.
Mrs. Bryan in her chat last week,
briefly explained that the mistaken
reference to my father as an "officer in
the union army was due to a paragraph
or two being lefi out toy the foreman it)
“making up" the "page. I would like to
render this plainer by supplying the
omitted paragraphs.
On arriving in Montgomery, we found
Mr. Bruce, fson xf the ex-federal Judge
iRruce). awaiting to accompany our party

ort ooivjucted us to the headquarters
of the convoatlon, we passed the white

And may tire day soon come when wom

til then, no matter how well trained
their minds, nor how spiritually good
they may be, we will never see the glo
rious “radiant womanhood” that God
intended. And many are rejoicing that
tne time is near at hand, even at our
ticor, when woman's shackles shall all
be removed, and she enjoy the universal
privilege of cultivating the body as well
as the mind and soul.
I too would -prefer not to have the
voting contest that has been suggested.
I’m sure we all feel more free and easy
in our Household home than we would
if we were to allow tire spirit of rivalry
that would unavoidably arise in voting
for favorites. , , „ , .

A LITTLE TALK.
Now wuen’t the household Issue fine? I
can’t speak of all the things that pleased
me, but oh. liow I enjoyed the trip to
lovely Bt, Andrew’s Bay,
Geraldine, none of the household
should foil unwelcome because no one
mentions their letters. There is some
thing good in every letter, and to men
tion all these would give us a page of
names and compliments.
As I writ-e that a thought of the love
letter contest comes to me. RevcraL of
Uio contestants wrote me letters that
should have been given a reply, and till*
I did in two lettirs written to the house
hold, but these letters must have been
lost,’as I have heard nettling from them.
Now, if any of you have been thinking
unkindly of me, please don't any more.
Believe anything of me, but don’t allow
yourself to believe that I am not hu
man and sympathetic.
There were four of thene letters that
touched me impressively and I would
reply to them o\ cn at this iate date If
1 still had tlie addresses of the writers.
Adrift, I bore you have found your
bearings here tills. Hawthorne said that
in looking back lie could see that eome
great good had always -come- to him out
of every misfortune. So lt is with us
all, if we try to learn the lessons that
come to us through experience.
To the householder who wrote of tho
Inmates of aeylums, I would say there is
need of much tihouight and reform in
such institutions.
But people should think long and ear
nest ly before sending a Joved one to one
of these plaices. To many such unfortu
nates the breaking of home ties Is a
dreadful thing within Itself.
And if such a person is not hopelesely
demented he or she is almost certain to
become so ln tlh* atmosphere of one of
these places.
The very best thing that can be dona
for such peoplo Is to place them under
the care and treatment of a skilled
psycholoylf't.
Some one sent me “Tho Simple Life."
Friend, I’ve read tweleve pages and I am
not going to read any more. The book
doesn’t appeal to me .and besides I don’t
need It. Why, I could teach tho author

other tilings that make tho paper worth

HE training of tlie twelve
made large drafts upon
tho endurance and tact of
the Master. Their racial
and hereditary misconcep
tion of His kingdom was
the most difficult of eradi
cation. He had Just un
veiled to them his "Via
Dolorosa;’’ but, explicit
though he had been, lt
seemed all to no purpose.
They saw only a flower-
strewn path to a glittering
throne. And they wanted lt quickly de
cided how they should stand relatively
to each other and to that throne.
Before we are harsh with the disciples
for their tardy approach to the true ideal
of the kingdom, let lt be remembered,
they drank ln their wrong notions with
their mothor'g milk. Even Jesus could
not easily truln out of them Ideas which
had been trained into them for thirty
years and more, and those tho most Im
pressive years of a human life. They
were ideas, too, that were peculiarly con
sonant with their natural tastes and
ambitions.
The Searcher of Hearts knew very well
the subject of the unseemly controversy
in whicn His disciples had engaged on
the way to Capornaum. They had, per
haps, separated from Him on purpose
“to have it out" among themselves—not
yet having learned how naked and open
all tilings were to Him with whom
they had to do.
lt was the master-stroke of the .Master-
teacher. tlie placing of the child ln the
niklsc of His self-seeking disciples. The
able to the penalty of corrupting a
child;” “Whoever takes a child under
loving and helpful care takes the child
and—Me.”
ANALYSIS AND KEY.
1. The training of the twelve.
Jesus’ tact and endurance taxed.
Their misconception.
2. Harsh criticism of the disciples dep
recated.
How wrong Ideals were imbibed.
3. Oontrovory "which should be first” not
unknown to Jesus.
4. Master-stroke of master-teacher.
“A child in the midst.”
Living tableau.
G'brdienee, docility, self-oblivion.
Love exemplified in child.
5. Principles developed and applied.
Child’s position in church enunciated.
Already in.
What is done to child is done to Jesus'
self, according to His affirmation.
Jesus' love, care and provision for
child-life.

! BAH FOR PHYSICAL CULTURE,
prepaid, ' It is a su.rpriso to mo that so very few
j have accepted the challenge to Teton to thu
su/bjecl of women and “physical culture.”
I. for one, believe this to be one of
tiu three essentials of a thorough educa
tion. Some one hag truly said that we
American people cultivate t*he mind ana
•‘■•util, am! merely let the body “grow up.''
arid this is especially true of won.rn,
God gave us beautiful, expressive bodies,
tout how few of us take care of them.
In how many school rooms do we see
the children stooping over their desks,
■'eJJ’ucatlng” their minds, but deforming
their bodies.
How many mothers, homeloeopers, work
all day long in tasks that wear all tho
verves and muscles, then when they do
have a few spare moments they snatoli
a little time to read a book or magazine,
without any real exercise. Exercise?
"ATiy, they have exercised all day, and
now want to rest! Weil, if we will only
find out what the word exercls- really
means we will learn that very few of us
have ever had any. real exercise in our
fives. And “physical culture” is merely
another expression, for corroct exercise,

BOME CURIOUS AND VALUABLE
OLD BOOKS.
Among my curios I hay* some very old
and Interesting books. One Is “Mead on
Poisons," On the title page 1* this:
1 "London—Printed by F> R. for Ralph
South at the Bible, near the Piazza of
the Iioyal Exchange Cornhlll. 1702.” It
is bound In leather and Is In a fair state
of pres* rvation. considering its age. It
has some illustrations of the viper and
its fangs and J» very readable, though
his Ideas are unique. He says, “In an
cient times phy.Me was more a scieace.
which is tiow more a trade.”
What do, s tho medical fraternity of
tifis day say to that assertion?
Then 1 have four volumes of ‘‘The Ad
venturer” bound in leather. Mine Is the
third edition of what seem* to have been
a magazine published weekly from No
vember 7, 1752, to March 4. 1734. toy
one “John Huwkeuworih, of Bromley ln
Kent.’’ Though this edition pays;
"London—Printed for C. Hitch and L.
Hawes-, J. Payne and It. Baldwin in
Pater-noster row, and R. and J. Dods-
lev in Pall-Mall, 1700.” Tho re.-Jltnff mat
ter lg very inprcstlng. eonslsthig mostly
of fiction with a few essays on the follies
and fashion* of tlutt time.
But my most prized books are two vol
umes of Philip Freneau's works, one his
“Miscellanies.” the other his “Poems.”
They arc bound ln leather. “The Miscel
lanies” first printed ln book form in 1783
by Francis Bailey at Yorlck’s Head,
Market street, Philadelphia; It contains
a list of subscribers to the book In Penn
sylvania. New Jersey, Delaware, New
York Maryland and Charleston, S, C„
the city of his nativity. The second vol
ume was published in 1810 and consists
of poems written and published at dif
ferent times during the revolutionary
war. It aleo has a list of Kutosertbers 1
tuituoff; by that of James Madl*
son, .president of the United States, ten
popies, and Thomas JeSferson, Mtonticello,
Va„ ten copies.
These works of our gifted South Caro
lina poet are fine reading and carry one
back 1" spirit to'the stirring times which
Haille Ermine Rives deplete so vividly In
lier novel. “Hearts Courageous,” and in
which thl* poet figures in his own name.
I have others, but Will not Inflict the
Household with their titles until I can
leant whether others are Interested In

of the Rr.volution In South Carolina?”

in the end, the swiftness with which
lie ran to receive and return the Sa
viors emlftace, and ail with a self-ob
livion to which tho question, "What shall
I havo for this?” never so much as
occurred—tnere, as in a simple living
taoleau, the cnaracteristlcs of the ap
proved disciple stood forth, a snowy
cameo on the inky agate.
And from tho acted parable, as was
His wont, the Savior passed to earnest,
practical discourse, ln which tlie diclples
of His Kingdom w4r?> still 'further devel
oped and applied. Tho conspicuous posi
tion to be accorded to childhood ln the
church is distinctly enunciated. If those
like children are eligible to membership,
then children themselves are already In
cluded. Jesus is childhood's defender-
lie puts Himself In the child's place.
What you do of good or 111 to the child,
you do to 111m. Tlie ljjimedlate surren
der of the dearest earthly ambitions In
imical to tho spirit of the heavenly king
dom Is insisted upon, ln language of
unsurpassed vigor. Better one hand,
one foot, ono eye, and—heaven, than two
hands, two feet, two eyes, and—hell. The
vivacious discourse closes aptly with a
picture of the G'ood Shepherd going out
with Infinite sacrifice, pains, and persist
ence to seek for one lost sheep.
The lovely tapestry of the homily of
the Twelve Is shot again and again with
the golden thread of the Master’s par- i ,,,, A , . . ..

"I’m sure the Savior smiled." Some one
said one day that we do not read that
our Savior, when on earth, was ever seen
to smile. A little girl heard the remark.
’’What,” she said, "didn't Jesus say to
the little children, ’Conte unto Me?’ and
they would never have come unless He
had smiled.”
’I'm sure tlie Savior smiled.
Or rise no little, trembling child
Had dared to venture near;
No darkening frown, no angry word.
Was ever seen or ever heard
While Jesus sojourned here.”
The two-Messiato idea prevailed to a
considerable extent among the Jews. The
Psalms and prophecies obviously pictured
a suffering as well as a triumphant Mes
siah. Blit it seemed impossible for the
Hebrew mind to apprehend that the Suf
ferer a.nd the Victor were one and the
same person; in fact, it hat the Victor was
suoh through His suffering. Tine disci
ples, in their novitiate, were ready to at
tach themslves to the victor Messiah,
but they wanted none of the sufferer.
Unhappily, hlera-rcileal ambition and
“ecclesiastical politics” are not yet ex
tinct. The more is the shame and pity,
since two thousand years have passed
In which to learn the spirit of the king
dom.

WOMEN PREACHERS.
Dear Household; Do you consider
Cue’s idea as regards woman preachers
archaic? I do. After reading Meda’s
“Heritage,” one woman said: “Whether
it is right or not for women to preach,
it was right for Meda.” Why is it not
right also for any woman to choose tlie
vocation lor profession to which her tal
ents and inclinations point? "Were talents
given her only to be wrapped in a nap
kin. Does her intelligence coun.t for
■nothing? Has her Creator then only
wasted so much material? It ds the cour
ageous and enterprising men and women
who are “pathfinders blazing the way
for themselves, refusi.- to follow- the
calf paths of the mind.' It is they who
are leading this old world out of dark
ness into light.
In Meda’s “Heritage” one finds tiie
mothas wedded to he* opinions, which
have been handed down through the cen
turies, in strong contrast to the courag
eous gin who dares to do her duty des
pite tradition. The interest of the reader
is intense when, he is brought tio consi . .
the unhappy results to Meda had sho
yielded or proved herself a coward.

How Kentucky Gentlemen Drink.
The julep blooms perpetually in the
Blue Grass state; the very air is sweet
and spicy with aromas swept from green-
fringed and trapped -goblets; the ambered
liquid is ever gurgling up through the
straw and rippling rythmically over the
■cilia of the esophagus until the cheeks
blossom “like a rose in the snow” and
the old earth rolls out Into one grand,
endless and rerdured world, gorgeous in
tint and tracement, flecked with flowers
and threaded with silver streams mean
dering musically toward a golden sunset
where the tousled billows of the sky
skirt the timber line. Yet withal Ken
tucky is not a land of jags. Sip^-c—
the julep arie not swinish in m — _
manner. They drink as gentlemen, and
as thoroughbreds.
