Anti all of our poor, selfish griefH, Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat, at the door, And never put on again. I wish we could come on it all unawares, Like a hunter who finds a lost trail: And I wish that the one whom our blindness had done The greatest injustice of all Could bo at the gates like an old friend that waits For the comrade he's gladdest to hail. Wp would find all the things we intended to do. But forgot, and remembered too late— Little praises unspoken, little promises broken. And all of the thousand and one Little duties neglected that might have perfected The day for one less fortunate. It wouldn’t be possible not to be kind In the Lnnd of Beginning Again; And the ones we misjudged, and the omps whom we grudged Their moments of victory here, Would find in the grasp of our loving hand-clasp More than penitent lips could explain. For what had been hardest we’d know had been best. And what had Heemed loss would be gain; For there isn't a sting that will not take wing When we’vo faced it and laughed it away;— And I think that the laughter is most what we’re after In the Land of Beginning Again. So I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again, Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches, And all of our poor, selfish griefs, Could be dropped, like a shabby old coat, at the door, And never put on again. labours rtEW a33SCG>¥E2?t Dr. King’s New life Pills W5U Surely Stop That Couch. The best in the world. Jefferson Davis. Jaa. Callaway in Macon Telegraph. The 3d day of June was Jefferson Da vis’ birthday, and the local papers told of the honors paid him. But I have been requested by a Sa vannah lady to answer Mary Marshall, one of McClure’s newspaper syndicate writers. She recently wrote: “It does seem clear that when Mr. Davis was captured Mrs. Davis persuaded him to put on the disguise of her hoopskirt and shawl. Davis made an effort to escape, but was detected and captured.” This story recalls the myth of Lincoln saying to Stephens at the Hampton Roads conference: “Write Union and I will add anything you request.” This never happened, it was a myth that Gen. Lee surrendered under “the fa mous apple tree. ” He rested a while un der the apple tree, but met Gen. Grant at Appomattox Court House, in the Mc Lean house. And the story that Gen. i Toombs said he would live to call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker I Hill was a myth. But these stories live ' as if true. Wonderful are the staying qualities of a lie. Mary Marshall knew that John H. Reagan, the Postmaster-Geueral of the Confederacy, was captured with Mr. Davis and had given an account of it in his “Memoirs.” Mr. Reagan says: “When the firing began between the two sections of Fed eral soldiers, Mr. Davis told me after wards that he supposed it to be the work of the men who were after rob bing Davis’ train, trouble having been threatened under the idea that there was gold along. So he remarked to his wife: ‘Those men have attacked us at last; I will go out and see if I cannot Btop the firing; surely I will have some authority with the Confederates. ’ When he went to the tent door, however, he saw the bluecoats and turned to hia wife with these words: ‘The Federal cavalry are upon us.’ He was at once made a prisoner of war. The wicked charge to make the Confederate cause odious was made and afterward placard ed in shop windows North that Mr. Da vis was captured in woman’s clothing. I saw him a few minutes after hi3 cap ture wearing his aceustomed suit of gray, with his hat and boots on. He had no money.” Space will not permit the various de nials by eye-witnesses of this charge, but. having given the testimony of such a creditable witness as grand old John H. Reagan, here is the statement of a Federal: The Philadelphia Bulletin in 1913 printed an account of Caspar Knobel, a member of Company A, of the Fourth Michigan cavalry, and the last survivor of the fourteen men who participated in the capture of Mr. Davis. Caspar Kno bel says: . "I wish to deny the report that Jef ferson Davis was dressed in woman’s clothes, or in a long waterproof with a woman's shawl wound around his head, when captured. It so happened that I was the first person to enter his tent, near Irwinville, on May 10, 1805. Davis walked out, clothed in his usual male attire. Mrs. Davis followed him almost immediately, and, overtaking him, threw a shawl about his shoulders to protect him from the chilly morning. That was all there was to the story.” No wonder that hasty writers like Mary Marshall fall into error when Gen. Wilson himself telegraphed from Macon to Stanton, May 13, 1865: “Mr. Davis put on his wife’s dress and started to the woods, hut the soldiers, seeing his boots, he was pursued. Ho brand ished a bowie-knife, hut yielded to the persuasion of a Colt’s revolver.” Wil son got his story from some of his sol diers. The shawl alluded to by Caspar Knobel was a gentlemanshawl. At that time, and for some time after the war, our Southern men wore shawls. When Mer cer University opened after the war every professor wore (in winter) a shawl. Overcoats were not easily to be had. These must have been brocaded shawls, for many of the students wore them. It was some time after the war before men’s clothing was brought from New York as now. There is no excuse for Mary Mar shall’s perversion of the facts. The “woman’s dreBs” story has been ex ploded long ago, and only those as care less with facts as Sherman was with fire indulge in such myths as Mary Marshall contributed to McClure’s Mag azine. They may attempt to dishonor Mr. Davis, but Joseph G. Cannon, the ex- Speaker, recently said: “In the distant future the world will recognize who are America’s four greatest men—Wash ington, Lincoln, Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis.” For an Impaired Appetite. To improve the appetite and strength en the digestion try a few doses of Chamberlain’s Tablets. Mr. J. H. Seitz, of Detroit, Mich., says: “They restored my appetite when impaired, relieved me of a bloated feeling and caused a pleasant and satisfactory movement of the bowels.” For sale by all dealers. “May it please your honor,” said a lawyer, addressing one of the judges, “I brought the prisoner from jail on a habeas corpus.” “Well,” said a man jn an undertone, who was standing in the rear of the court, “these lawyers will say anything. I saw the man get out of a taxi at the court-house door.” Some men don’t need money in order to spend it. Burns to Be Ousted by Police Chiefs. Grand Rapids, Mich., June 15.—De tective William J. Burns is in bad with the International Association of Police Chiefs, and when the convention revises the list of honorary members to-mor row his name will be stricken from the list. His recent activities in the Leo Frank case, in which he attempted to clear the Atlanta man of a charge of murder after he had been convicted of the crime and sentenced to die, roused the police chiefs all over the United States. Also because of his publicity tactics Burns has incurred the disfavor of the mem bers of the association, and the Frank cbho brought a climux. At first it was the plan of some of the delegates to oust BurnB through res olutions, hut at a meeting of the exec utive committee of the association to day it was decided to revise the list of honorary members of the association and when the list is presented to the convention for adoption Mr. Burns’ name will be missing. Those hack of the move to oust Burns come from the East and South. The Southern delegates are the most rabid against his name being connected with the affairs of the international associa tion.
