UNDER THE AMERICAN FLAG.
(Contributed by one of our young folks
thirteen years old.)
Under the American flag, boys.
We are marching now to fight
For a brave and mighty nation.
For the freedmen and the right.
Under the American flag, hoys.
They march in blue and gray.
And fight the Spaniards, every one.
Until "We’re whipped,” they say.

Junior: AA'e live about ‘fifteen miles from
Waco, a city on the Brazos river. The
BraZ"ts river is a very noted one. I will
give you some things for which It is noted.
First, it is noted for its length; second, for
being the most erooked river In Texas;
third, it is about the muddiest stream- in
the state. AA’aeo xvas named after a rribe
of Indians who settled and lived there un
til our forefnthers came and very cruelly
drove them off and took possession of the
country. I_am a native of Georgia, ol which
I am very proud. Georgia Is one of the

I was alter ding school last fall. I wonder
how many of you girls like to read good
books? I do for one. 1 don’t think there is
anj thing nicer than reading good interest

iors about bicycle riding, for 1 think it Is
vry ni••.■, but 1 haven’t any bicycle. I
; don't think there is any harm in corre
sponding with boys and girls you never
r saw. I would like to correspond with boys
V and girls my age. 1 have the words to
I I several songs to exchange, among them
are: "Barney Darlln,” "School Days,"
and "Ragged Fat.”
Dell, Ohio- Dear Junior: I can hardly
tell you how greatly 1 enjoy reading the
young people’s letters. I think the page is
' improving all the time. 1 live in the coun
try, and how 1 love it. AA'ere 1 to live in
; the city now I would feel like a bird in a
cage. But had I always lived in the city
, perhaps 1 would be contented. 1 love flow
ers ami often go out in tlte womls and
gather them. 1 am no longer much of a
1 child, being fifteen, and many people th.nk
I am two or Hire" years older. I agr.'e with
5 Mr. Dove on correspondence. I would be
: glad to receive a letter from Mesquite. 1
I had a hearty iaugh over Grummel’s letter.

farms, and none of them have half as many
I trials and tribulations as the one Grnm

J ,'lcii Dickey, Troy, Tex.—Dear Jun'or:
I will take for my subject "Flowers.” I
think it would be very gloomy with no
flower, to perfume the atmosphere and
brighten it.- broad plains, hills, valleys
and mountains. Truly, Texas is a land
of flowers. I think of all flowers the rose
!■; tile pi'-ltiest. It is ciHed Hie queen of
flowers. Il giox'.a wild in eastern Texas.
Th.' verbena and da y are at home here,
besides hui'.di ■ ds of others that carpet our
Acids in .May. W. use flowers in many
ways to decor;.:, on:' homes. Flowers
ex. iywhere show t.-sti and make the p '. r
e.d home beautiful. The bride xvears lloxv

dest and swi . i.-st .. .■ . f all is when we
place them on th.- .-otliii and plant them

Specially Written for The Constitution Junior, by Mr. G. T. Lee, of Tennessee. z~r-=—
—
THESE STORIES are written by Mr. G. T. Lee, of Johnson City, Tenn., a nephew o
General Robert E. Lee and a first cousin of General Fitzhugh Lee. They are familiar
in many southern households, as the series—one being published each week—is it com
pilation of old-time southern stories, of xvhich Mr. Lee says; ‘‘Many came down from the
negroes, and some of them were told me by my parents.’’
MATE HARE AND MATE FOX
Once a hare, or rabbit, as he is often
called, lived under the stump of a big tree.
Close to the ground and right over a rock
there xvas a little hole for the hare to go
in and out. Early one morning he heard
something going "scratch, scratch,
scratch,” at the hole, so he called out:
“Who is that scratching at my door?"
No one answered, but he still heard
“scratch. scratch, scratch.” He said:
“Can’t you talk? Don’t you hear? Who
is th it scratching tit my door, I say?”
1 "It's me!”
"Who is me?”
"Mate Fox."
“M ate Fox? AVhat do you want, Mate
Fox?"
"J want to come into your house.”
"You can't get into my house. Mate Fox,
the door is too small for you."
"AA’hy <lo you have such a small door?
I'm mighty anxious to come in and see you.
Come out. Mate Hare, and have a talk
With me.”
"Do you see anything green in my eye.
Mate Fox? Hoxv long would I talk before
you would eat me tip?"
"Ha, ha, ha! Mate Hare, you are such a
funny fellow! You know I can’t see your
eyes al all. Coin, out and let me look at
them. 1 would not hurt you for anything
in the vyorld."
"Humph—hmoo! Since when did you
stop eating hares, I’<l like to know? ‘I
wasn't born in a thicket to be fooled by a
cricket’ like you, sly old Mr. Fox.”
"Pshaw! Mate Hare, don’t make fun
of me noxv. You know I xvouldn’t hurt you.
You kn.-w that all the animals had a big
meeting yesterday—a regular eamp meet
ing, where they all talked ami sang anil
prayed together and made an everlasting
peace with each other."
"Is that so. Mate Fox? AVell, I hadn't
'heard a word about it. So cits won't kill
rats and tri<e. am! foxes won't kill hares
and chickens, and dogs won’t kill foxes
any more?”
"That's it, Mate Hare. AA'e all took a
great oatli not hurt one another again, so
you see you are safe from me. You'll come
out now and have a good long talk, will
you not?"
"1 don't know so much about that, Mate
Fox 1 haven t heard a thing about this
great meeting and this swearing of peace
that you arc t'-'ling of. It's strange, too,
for I hear almost everything t lai goes on."
Then the hare said to h.mself: "<?ld fox
is mighty cunning, but so L- old hare. 1
believe I'll try ami find out whether or not
this old rascal is trying to fool me.” so
he stepped over to th. far side of his house
and commenced barking like a hound a
long way off. Next e.e slipped back to his
door, peeped out and saw th" fox M'ith his
ears erect and eyes wide open, turning his
bead this xvay and that way, as if he was
looking and listening for’something.
By and by the ifix said: "Did you hear
that. Mate Hare?"
"Hear wit at?"
"AA'hy, didn’t you hear something that
sounded like a hound barking?”
"AVell, yes. Mate Fox, I believe 1 did,
but it xvas a long way off."
"1 say, Mate Har'.-. do any fox hoimds
live close about here’.'"
"AVell, yes. Mate F x. A whole pack of

off, but you need not mind that; hcunds
won't 'hurt foxes now, you know."
”1 don't know so much about that, Mate
Hare. Maybe those hounds are like you
and ‘haven’t heard about the peace."
“Oh, ho!” said the sly old nare to him
self; l thought you were trying to cheat
me. you tweaking old rascal; but never
mind. I’ll get even xvith you yet. ’ Then
he slipped back across his hollow and again
barked like a hound. This time it sounded
as if the dog xvas getting closer and as if 'he
xvas running on the track of some animal.
The hare clipped back to his door and
peeped out. There stood the fox. looking
all about him, with his ears standing
straight up. his bristles on end, his head
and tail stretched straight out and his
whole body quivering, just as if he was
about to flan for his life. It scared him so
much that ho thought he heard a whole
pack of hounds.
He said: "It sounds like they are getting
closer, .Mate Hare; don’t you hear them?”
“It does sound like it. Alate Fox, but you
needn’t mind that. All the animals are at
peace noxv, you know, and the hounds
won’t hurt you. Sit down and wait till
they come up. Then I’ll come out and we'll
all sit down together and have a nice,
long chat."
■'Oh. you needn’t wait for the dogs to
come up. Mate Hare. Come out now and
stay xvith ijio an( l we : ll both wait for the
dogs.”
“All right. Mato Fox, I'll come as soon
as I can get ready—in a few minutes. Sit
down and make yourself easy. The dogs
won’t hurt you, and you know it. for you
told me so yourself."
"I don’t know, Mate Hare, I don’t know
how that may be. Perhaps they haven't
heard about the peace and I don't like to
trust them. When a hound is on a hot
trail, he Is the craziest thing in the world.
You couldn't reason xvith him a. minute.
Now. if these hournLs haven't: heard ab'.xut
th<> peace, they wouldn't talk to me for a
second. They would just tear me to pieces
before 1 could tell them about it. They
would be mighty sorry afterwards, but
that would not do me any good. No. Mate
Hare, it xvill not do to trust a hound on a
hot track, so 1 reckon I’d better keep out
of tho way until I am certain they know
about tho peace."
"O, pshaw! Mate Fox, don’t get scared
Sit down and make yoursel easy. I'll be
out in a few minutes. I am sure the dogs
know about the peace and won't hurt us.
They are the fastest bounds 1 ever saw
and will be here in a minute, so I'll hurry
and get out in time to meet them.”
Then old Mate li tre slipped back a little
way into hi: house and barked like a
hound that was running on a hot trail and
getting very close to his gam--. In fa.-t.
he barked so fast and changed his voice
so ofu n that it sounded more like a pack
of hounds than one dog.
After mocking the bounds about a min
ute. lie slipped back to I.ls door and looked
out, but tlier., was no fox there then The
deceiving old rascal never even stopped
long enough to say goodby. and when Mate
Hare next laid eyes on him he was flying
through the woods like a yellow streak of
gt as' d lightning through a erap-apple or

Then old Mate Hare just leaned hack

THE STORY OF TOOMBS,
THE GEORGIA TRIBUNE.
Robert Toombs, lovingly termed by
i his friends “Bob" Toombs, xvas iindoiibt
i edly one of the most unique and brilliant
i characters whose career the civil w. r em-
I phasized. The word emphasiz'd is used
i advisedly, as he had entered the arena of
' public, life and make an imbidlng imnrcs
i eion long before the disruption of th. six
i ties came to lead him into still greater
prominence.
Walter L. Miller, of Abbeville, S. C-. hits
I an interesting reviexv of the turbulent his
! lory of the great Georgian in this month's
issue of The Albany, N. Y,, Law Journal.
Speaking of Hie well-known b.iyh..-■! d..ys
of the powerful statesman. Mr. Miller say.--:
“As a boy he xvas handsome and full of
mist hes and fun. lle reeeiv <<l his colli g<
education at Athens, Ga., and at Union
College, New York, and his legal education
at the University of A’irginia. AA'hlle at
Athens he had for one of his teachers the
Culebra te<l Dr. Moses Wadd'dl. who edu
cated perhaps more distinguished men than
i any rnan in the United Saties.
"Born July 2, ISIO, and dying December
15. Isss, the seventy-live years of his life
compassed an interesting part of his coun
try's history, commencing with the period
xvlien tho various theories of interpreting
the constitution xvero first being promul
gated and discussed in the national halls of
legislation, and running on down through
the civil xvar and what was known as the
reeonstrtiction period.
"Entering national politics In IS-to, Mr.
Toombs xvas thrown actively In contact
with tho gnat men of that day and time.
It xvas his privilege to meet in joint debate
tho great Car tllna statesman and orator,
George McDuffie. In speaking of Toombs,
McDuffie said: ‘I have hear John Ran
dolph, of Roanoke, and met Burge.;, of
Rhode Island, but this wild Georgian is a
.Mirabeau.’ Entering congress in 1545, he
had to measure swords xvith such men as
John Quincy Adams, Stephen A. Douglass,
Andrew Johnson, AV. L. Yancey and Jeffer
son Davis, in the 'senate he found Sew
ard. Chase, Sumner, Bayard, Slidell and
Bell. A general in the confederate army
and secretary of state under Jefferson
Davis, Mr. Toombs was a conspicuous char
acter in tho war between the states. It
is said that -Mr. Davis preferred appointing
him secretary of the treasury, anil it is also
said that he. was admirably qualified for
this Oltk", but lie was given the position
of Secretary of state because it was re
garded a higher honor, and one which Mr.
Toombs deserved. In some respects he xvas
eminently fitted to preside over the treas
ury department. He xvas a man of af
fairs, and had a genius for details.
“AA'hen tho provisional congress met in
Montgomery on February I. 1861. Mr.
Toombs's nan <• was prominently mention
ed in connection with the pr. siden y of I ne
confederacy. Il seems that he was pally
the choice of the several of the states,
among them being South Carolina, but
from some change of sentiment In the
convention the name of Jefferson Davis
was proposed and bls nomination cordially
seconded by Toombs himself.
"Mr. Toombs was a line lawyer. For the
first four <>r live years after lie was ad
mitted to the bar he did not do very
much in his profession, but from that time
on throughout his entire career as a law
x "', both before and after the war, ae
xvas a brilliant success at the bar. He
had the faculty of grasping th- strong
points of a case, and ot presenting them
with so much poxver and vigor as to sweep
everything before him, and to carry court
and jury with him. He mastered the un
derlying principles of his case, and pre
sented them to the court with great clear
ness and power. In arguing the facts be
fore the jury -he came down with sledge
hammer blows, employed the keenest invec
tives of sarcasm and irony, drew upon his
imagination for the finest figures and meta
phors, and rising to the height of his
argument, with a perfect whirlwind of elo
quence carried conviction to the heart and
rarely failed to win the verdict. In one
respect he was like Mr. Lincoln. He could
not argue on the wrong side of a case. If
