VISIT TO MOUNT VERNON.
Washington, D. C.—Dear Children: 1
promised you in my last letter to tell you
of a visit to Washington’s grave and some
other places of Interest I visited.
One beautiful, bright, sunny morning that
hid a breath of spring in the air I took an
’ ajctric ear to go and visit the grave of
the father of our country. It was just the
day after his birthday, when the whole
country had been celebrating the day, so
we knew the grave would be decorated
and everything look at its best. The ride
from Washington city to .Mount Vernon
is through a very pretty section of the
country and we passed many interesting
places. Tlie road runs along the Potomac
river and we passed many boats loaded
w.th oysters being broug'ht to tlio city
market from down the Chesapeake bay,
li sides many ta.il boats that made a pretty
picture as wo passed by.
The first place of interest we camo to was
Arlington. This beautiful spot was once
tin homo of General Lee; now it is used
as a national cemetery, where rest thous
ands of soldiers. The grounds are laid off
autifully. there are grottoes and flower
b< <ls, summer houses covered with vines, a
chapel where funerals take place and a
large, handsome house, the former resi
di tie of Lee. Hut it is on the lull side
licit visitors Unger most—where the white
hemistones mark the graves of tho soldiers.
'. >u : land and look over hundreds and
hundreds of these graves. There are some
splendid momma nts erected to officers, etc.,
but the. grin as of the privates are far more
touching to look upon, ami you realize as
you see how many brave fellows have
laid down their lives for their country what
a dreadful thing war is.
N'Xt you ■ onio to the city of Alexandria.
This w.is one the home of George. Wash
ington. and you are shown the old church,
‘a'hrist church.' where Washington always
Will ship,',l. toe very old pew remains
Where he Mt. IL re is sen Hie famous
Marshall bouse, where Colonel Ellsworth
w.is killed while taking down the confed
erate states flag, (te t jour papa to tell you
about it. ... i; was a war incident.)
Hut now We ato at the , nd of our jour
ney and Mount Vernon is called out—
crowds go out every hour in tho day to

“Alabama Boy.” 'Mt. Meigs, Ala.- Dear

AA’hilc the girl is at the house doing a

boy is in the field plowing a contrary horse
or mull-; that he ••omes In with chapped I
hands, sore feet and tired limb:-; that ho
has to chop wood, work gardens and run j

| errands; that he is exposed to all sorts of
1 weather. She only thinks of her own
troubles; It is her place to tend to tho
I household duties, while it is her brother's
pla.'o to feed the cows, hogs and horses and
drive up the calves. I tliink you wore very
careless to leave that churn on the floor
where those old hounds could get to It.
while nt 'the same time your brother
could have waited till you got. through
with the churning. . Now, Miss Grumbler,
1 think while your brother is taking some
other boy 'si sister out riding, some other
girl's brother might take you out riding,
or take you to church, to a party, to a
picnic, or to some other place of amuse
ment, but a girl is never satisfied, she will
frolic ittd flirt with anotlier Loy every time
she gets Hie chance, but if she sees her
brother going with another giri. she. com
plains. Some girls are ready to say, every
time their brother goes out riding on a
Sunday evening. “I’tipa. bud will ride ttuit
old l)ors>e to dentil if you don't stop him.
Hut if her fellow comes to take her out
riding she is far from telling him that ho
ought to take earn of that horse and not
he driving-o much, but the more h" drives
and the faster, th" better she likes It
Jf did not encourage him in It • hJh
thinks 11" would get mad. but instem slie
t.raises his hor.oe ami flatters him for tho

mind hurting her brother's feelings.

I nil who have written expressing their ap
. pr. . .ition of my' letter and to Mrs. Nance
for flower seed. My home is on a farm
i five miles below Pikeville, the county seat
' ~f Hldsoe, and in Sequaehte valley, which
I lies between Wald ti’ ridge on Hie ea.st and
i Cumberland mountain on the west. I'arm
, Ing and stock raising are tho chief oecupa
i tions. Tlu re are s' vi ral flouring mills in
I til" Vai'e y 'in: ill agree that BI"ds0e coun
! ty furnishes tlie best grad" of flour. One
1 of our farmers shipped a carload of cattle
: 1.1 England two years ago. Mineral in
i sfieetors say that there i- a great amount
i of tine coal in Cumberland mountain near
e ■ hohi". If tiny of th Junior: should
I ei>r visit the Sequ.c hie valley, don’t fail
I to see flu Cane creek ami Fali creek falls.

■ interesting points It: tlie valley. among
I which is Nl'-o.iaek cave, in Marion county,
I mar my birthplace. It was near this cave
that Joseph Brown was captured by tho
Indians, and when about grown was ex

I lor J don't, know wh< n I have read ;t let-
I t'T that I was as much phased with as
I tlie on" from Grttmim Is. 1 do wisii she
! had given her name, -is 1 would like to
' write to her and .sk how she found time
■ witii al! lier dalle to ever write a letter.
. I can in part sympathize witli her, us T
i am a farmer's daughter and know just
| how important a girl is on a farm. She
| spoke of one tiling of which I am quite
envious, the spring. If i were to go for water
t it would only be to the pump, as wo have
! no such things as hills down here in South
| Carolina, consequently l lie springs are
; vety few. A\ - have only one on our whole
I plantantion and that is a mile or more
: from the lion ", just on the edge of a.
very large creel This is Hi. only one I
: know of for miles around. This portion
| ot South Carolina, w'iiev. Wt . Hv. is very
i level, indeed. We can ride for miles with
i out coming to a single hill, bat we do not
' think because the . ountry is so level we
: have no pretty scenery. Just imagine how
' a forest would look witli every oak. and
pine hung witli long moss.
(lur fiat country lias one great advantage
’ over the hilly—Hie roads. Distance lu re
i is not such an item as among Hie hills,
for this is all "trotting ground." Dear
1 cousin.-'., I went to a "tacky party” last

It would have been hard to find a pair of

there were, were very gaudy. We had

C. T. Clary, Gaffney. S. C., Box 82.—Dear
Junior: It seems to me that we boys are
very tardy In deeleiing what vocation in life
we will pursue, inactivity Is a great draw
back and right along hero comes Influence.
When a young man starts out to bittlo
with the world he invariably meets this
influence, tainted as It is. to throw obsta
cles In his way, when he l.s right on the
eve of applying himself, and the poor, ig
norant. unfortunate fellow (like the waves
of the ocean) mingles with such debased
Influences and is drifted away. Boys and
girls too. we do not know how long we
are to live or wliat will eorne along tomor
row or next week. A large, number of us
have had a varied experience In tlie com
menial world, but It seems that we are
always In the rear, and doing nothing for
ourselves. Not many of u.e now can hold
a lucrative position.
AVhy is it. boys? Is it for the lack of
education? Or is it to a great extent from
tho fact that most of us tire lazy or shift
less? We have frequently heard the popu
lar remark, "lie knows, but somehow lie
can’t use what he knows." Tn this crude
expression there Is. much food for thought
rind reflection. A boy may know how i
thing should be done and yet be totally un
able to do it himself.
•In other words, he has tho theory, but is
wanting in practice. Theory is a mighty
line thing in books, but without practice
it will avail but littlo In this everyday,
busy world Boys, let us be active and
practical, for we may theorize all our days
and picture how nicely these theories would
work, bitt there Is quite n difference be
tween talking or theorizing about a thing
and doing it. I inclose 10 cents for tho
Grady hospital. Would like correspondents
from Georgia.

night with none of the freedom that ether
dogs enjoy. But he achieves what is great
ness for a dog, lie enables his master to
live.
The Germans are a very thrifty people,
and believe in turning everyone to some ac
count, so everything that eats is made, to
work, even to the dogs amt the little chil
dren. I remember seeing, in passing
through the railway stations of small towns
in Saxony, where there was tlie usual
crodw of spectators, that every small girl
was industriously knitting away on a wool
en stocking and only had time to glance
up occasionally at the passing train. And
all the dogs, big and little, have to earn
their living; so any morning you can see
them hitched to a little cart bringing In
tho milk and vegetables to market. Their
tongues hang out of their mouths and It
Is easy to see that they work as hard as
anyone in Germany.
They are much cheaper help than horses,
for they only need a little mat to sleep on,
and a very small supply of food will keep
them In working order. What a saving
it would be if we could put all the useless
•logs in this country to work!
"Don't look for the faults as you go through
life.
And even when you find them
It is wise and kind, to be somewhat blind,
And look for tho virtues behind them.”
The kindness corner carries mo back to
an incident of my childhood. I was the
only small child in the family ami every
one seemed to tliink me a kind little girl.
Indeed I was kind about most things, but
since I can remember it was my greatest
desire to kill birds. For hours I would
slip along on tiptoe, stick in hand, and
try my best to murder the little innocents.
No matter how beautiful their plumage. I
would slam away with my stick and fairly
hold my breath witli excitement, straining
every nerve, to kill the happy little creat
ures as they flitted among the trees. At
last I succeeded. It was Sunday evening
and I a Sabbath scholar. 1 remember it
Just as vividly as if It were but yesterday,
a little blue an dblack bird was indus
triously making a. holo in a pine tree low
down on the, trunk. I think satan had a
dot’ll seat in my heart, although, as I have
sa.d. I was considered a good littlo girl.
Just as a eat would watch its chance for a
•■qiring' on a mouse, just as vigorously did
1 semi my stick at that innocent bird. The
poor little tiling fluttered down at my feet,
gave one little Quivering gasp and was
dead. The sight of that dead bird com
pletely conquered file evil within me. With
tearful eyes, I stood and gazed al my tro
phy. T felt perfectly awful, something sim
ilar. 1 think, to a real murderer. No hard
ened sinner was ever more truly repentant,
Wry tenderly I took tho. little dead thing
ami reverently laid it behind tin'tree. Never
did I forget my cruelty, and from that day
never wanted to kill a bird. This shows tlie
evil that can be In tho heart of even a lit
tlo child. I had some very serious tempta
tions, too, and shudder now to think how
near I was to yielding, but won’t tell of
tills unless some one wishes.

Ami now there sc ms to be another war
lmpend. i| ng and. somehow I can t keep
from ruminating about it. It is a blessed
tiling to help tho starving Cubans. 1 re
call the time when hundreds of our people
were starving and no help came from tlie
north. Whi n the fowl invaders took every
cow and calf and horse and mule and hog
and pig and chicken and all tho corn and
wheat ami burned down the towns and
left di solation behind them, and, like Wey
ler. said that tho quickest way to eml
a war was to make it horrible
The deadly parallel is always unwelcome,
but wo can’t help drawing It sometimes.
The Cubans are trying' to do what we tried
to do - to dissolve a union—and Hie people
of tliiso United Stab s seem to tliink they
arc right. And they are, if they can suc
ceed. If they fail, why, of course, they
aro guilty of treason and ought to bo
hung- gov. rntmnt is. a. curious paradox.
But everybody who can help ought to
in Ip and do it quickly. We old men re
member wa 11 whet, tho first train load of
t orn came to Georgia from Missouri—a gift
from the good people of that state, and
how tho hungry gathered at the depots
along tlio lines to get a share. 1 remem
ber when <l cheek for s::,Hjo was sent to mo
unsolicited by tlie goo<l people of Liberty,
In Clay county, and I indorsed it to Gov
ernor Jenkins and that, too, was invested
in corn for the starving. 1 remember when
bread, cornbread, was all we asked for
or hoped for and we sent a boat 200 miles
down tim river and got 200 bushels for a
hundred dollars a bushel and my share
wus live bushels and I dident dare to k< ' ]»
ft in town, but kept It hid
out at Kowland Bry mt’s, six
miles in the country and he broug'ht us in
a little meal once a week ami we were
thankful.
Anything Is better Him war md my fe.ir
Is tha' the jtngOi s will pre>- "itate one

now is about enforcing the Monroe doc
trine and ord ring Sp.iia to tako hands oft
of Cuba, if th.- Monitie doctrine al'plies
to Cuba now it did seventy-five years ago
when Mr. Monroe enunciated it. Spain
has owned it ever since Columbus dis
covered it !'>;) years ago and it is absurd to
apply tli" doctrine to it now. Let us go
on and relieve the distress us those miser
able people. Spain says we may and hu
manity says we must.
Wiiat a blessed tiling Is peace—peace .it
home and abroad. While working in my
garden today I felt conscious of its ble. s-
Ings and thankful, fir I knew tha! Aunt
Ann would have turnip grt ens ami bolle I

ami that tlie town was at peace, no quar
