The Turkey Trot.
The turkey trot ha* nothing to do
with art. It in natural dancing. the
very first form of it known to man. If

may have been revived there. Long
before the era, before there were any
godson Mount Olympus or vestal vlr-

Kuki* of Ahuhiii were dancing the tur
key trot with knee* bent exactly un

The Hottentot* dtinced the baboon

The Abyssinian women danced tn a
circle, ahuknig their shoulder*, wagging
their elbow* Mini wiggling after the
manner of the exaggerated turkey trot.
They also made sudden llopa on the
ground, u feulure to be seen now in the
cabaret dances of New A ork and other
large cities And there wa« among
certain African tribe* a dance done on
u pole which was called the monkey
climb, and will dmihtless be introduced
by the enterprising manager of some
lottery before the stuson ia over. The
negroes in the rural community* of
the South, still cut the buzzard's wing,
and there cannot he found in any ca
baret a belter example of turkey trot
ting than may be seen in some of their
churche* (luring religious revival*.
Their frenzy instinctively accommodates
itself to the trot, because the trot is
the most primitive expression of rhyth
mic motion
There can be no doubt at ail that the
turkey trot is a revival of primitive
dancing, and if any scandal attaches to
it, this is the nature of it. We are
supposed to be no longer primitive.
That which was innocent in the be
ginning i* generally supposed now to
lead in ttie direction of things not in
nocent When we began to turkey
trot we were not so far involved from
ju«t nature as we think we are now.
We have discovered that nature i.s not
mural, and by way of putting up the
fence between uh and ton much nuturc
we have been obliged to invent murals.
The turkey trotters are not wicked or
decadent. They are simply in a fair
way to break ilown the fence, and
cause a lot of expensive repairing of
moral* in the next generation.
llut it i* only bv keeping in mind the
origin of this dance that its universal
fascination becomes intelligible. Be-
neatli nil that we are or have achieved,
we are still primitive The thing has
its wide appeal upon this basis. In the
first pi ice, you do not need to learn it.
Anyone, of whatever age. condition
or sex, can do it. even if he or she has
never danced before It is nut an art,
hut a phenomenon i f nuture. And its
eiVects are hypnotic not because of its
grace, hut because everyone who secs
it knows at once tliut he or she cun do
it Not only that, but they all want to
do it.

The Lost Individual.
Chicutfo Tribune.
After the first German forces had
gone into Belgium against I.eige, there
was found on one of the roadways the
body of a man holding an umbrella.
Some orderly, circumspect citizen, ac
customed to guarding himself against
such accidents of life as a sudden down
pour, had gone from home, carrying
that protection of respectability—an
umbrella. Respectability does not sub
mit willingly to the discomfort of drip
ping clothes, and the umbrella i3 the
token of a precise nature.
H’s fate was sufficiently terrible in
its irony to get a line in the cables, and
tbe picture of the man with the um
brella lying dead in the roadway as the
troops passed on was given us.
The man with the umbrella was the
individual, and Europe no longer is
made up of individuals. It is made up
of masses. The individual has been
lost. A regiment may be scattered, a
brigade routed, a division hammered,
hut the individual-is gone.
A few weeks ago the life of the man
with the umbrella was sacred. He
might have been a timid person, but he
would have gonu almost any where in
Europe protected by his own conscious
ness of his individual value. Society
was organized to protect him. Labora
tories anil law, health officers and po
licemen. bacteriologists and surgeons
worked to guard him.
His individualism was consciously im
portant. Suddenly it becomes nothing.
Only musses count. The individual is
lost.

Chamberlain s Limmeut.
If you are ever troubled with aches,
pain* or soreness of the muscles, you
will appreciate tin* good qualities of
Chamberlain's Liniment. Many suf
ferer* from rheumatism and sciatica
have used it with the best results. It
is i specially valuable for lumbago and
lame I ack. For sale by all dealers.
A well-bred person with a well-dis
ciplined mind is able to cover with the
smiling mask of habit and educatii n
many a deep s rrow — perhaps a grief
more lusting than death ever brings,
and broktn hopes, as one idol after an
other is shattered; yet the well-trained
rnir.d recovers its balance, the skilled
hand its cunning, and with no outward
sign of inward desolation, the spirit
gathers up the remnant ot life and goes
on as before.

In Memory of Herman R. Smith. ,
Bro. Herman Smith was born Feb. j
16, 1FH0, and died May fi2. 1914. Hej
united with Bethlehem Baptist church |
and was baptized by his pastor, Rev.
H. S. Rees, the first Sunday in Septem
ber, 1906. He was loyal to his church,
a devoted husband and father, and ever
ready to render aid to the cause he
loved. He leaves five children and a
disconsolate wife to mourn his death.
He had many friends, and was loved
and respected for his sincerity, honesty
and true discipleship. Therefore, De it
resolved —
1. That our church has lost one of
its best and most faithful members.
2. That we bow in humble submis
sion to the wi 1 of God.
it. That we extend our tenderest
love and sympathy to the hereaved
family.
4. That we record our appreciation
of the beautiful life which he lived in
our midst, and that we emulate the
spirit which he manifested in every
phase of his life work.
5. That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished the bereaved family and
also sent The Herald and Advertiser
for publication. L. B. Watkins,

pewter reality.
