LITTLE KINDNESSES.
If you are toiling up a weary hill.
Bearing a load beyond your strength
to bear.
Straining each nerve untiringly, and
still
Stumbling and losing foothold here and
there;
And each one passing by would do so
much
As give one upward lift and go their
way.
Would not the slight, reiterated touch
Or help and kindness lighten all the
day?
There is no little and there is no much;
We weigh and measure and define in
vain;
A look, a word, a light, responsive touch
Can be the minister of joy to pain,
A man can die of hunger, walled in gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to stronger
breath,
And every day we give or we withhold
Some little thing that tells for life or
death.
—SUSAN COOLIDGE.
A TRUE INCIDENT.
Pear Children: I am giving you a trie
story today written by one of our young
friends. He says. ‘'The father mentioned
in my story was my great-grandfather.
1 have sat on my grandmother's knee
heard her toll this story and upon
my childish brain it has burned its in
delible impression. I believe it to be one
of the most heroic examples of Infantile
<!• votion on earth. 1 would like to see
i; in print because it is Georgia history,
and also true." Newel and John, the
children spoken of, have not been dead
over fifteen or twenty years. We thank
<>ur young friend for such an interest
ing story. AUNT SUSIE.
Over a century ago when northern and
western Georgia was the home of the
dusky red man. when the Creek or Cher
okee gave vent to the blood-curdling war
whoop o'er the hills where Atlanta now
stands, when the whole tribe met near
the headwaters of the Chattahoochee to
celebrate the first fruits of the harvest
with the green corn dance, when brave
h art wooed and won the dusky belle, or
the savage mother crooned her lullaby to
her peevish papoose, John Greacy, a
hero of the revolution, immigrated to
those echoing hills then in their primeval
rubes of trackless forest. There shared
with him the privations and dangers of
pioneer life a wife, two sons. Newel
. nd John, aged 4 and 2 years, respective
ly, and baby Jane.
The day Jane was three weeks old the
father was called away from home and
tb.e mother and children were sent for
safety to a rude fort in the neighbor
hood called a blockhouse. The father had
promts. 1 to return before night to his
loved ones, s> the mother, during that
dreary day, picked the cotton seed from
the lint, plied the cards and deposited
the snow white rolls in a large handker
chief arranged for the purpose, dreaming
day dreams of how "sweet" little John
would look in his new home-made frock,
into which the rolls were to be convert
ed.
Time flew apace and ns the sun was
hiding his face behind the tops of the
tall pines, the mother consigned the hand
kerchief of rolls to John’s care, another
bundle to Newel’s and clasped the babe
to her bosom and started to the log cab
in the ’’home, sweet home,’’ of the pio-
The face of a hardy soldier, rough
ened by exposure and scarred in many
:■ hard fought battle with savage Indians
and more savage elements, beamed with
a smile and showed a peculiar radiance
in the sunset glow as he leaned against
the blockhouse gate and watched John
clasp the bundle of cotton rolls with his
chubby fingers and march in front of his
mother, ever and anon turning round to
see how far he had gone and to ask
her for the twentieth time, "Where’s my
papa," and "Reckon he’ll be home when
we get there?”
The soldier had scarcely replaced the
bar to the gate when the savage yell
of the Indian and the mother's shriek
of despair grated harshly upon his ear
as it echoed through the stillness of the
woods and for a moment smothered the
melancholy moaning of the pine boughs.
The beaming smile faded from the pio
neer’s face as a rainbow vanishes when
the sun is hidden, and a dark cloud of
tevenge gathered on the brow of this son
of Mars as he and a few companions
sallied forth only to find the mother
dead and scalped, the boys gone and
baby Jane almost suffocated by the blood
that gushed from her mother’s muti
lated corpse. She. with maternal love,
bad clasped her babe tn her bosom and
had fallen face first that she. In her
dying moments, might shield the mite of
innocence from the savage ferocity of
the fiends of the forest.
In those days of danger and trial it
was considered a weakness for men to
weep, but It is said that as some of the
company seized the body of the dead
mother and bore it in their hurry of
fright to the fort, a shower of sympa
thetic tears poured down upon the blood
stained face of the motherless babe as
one hardy, tender-sou led pioneer clasped
it to his bosom and bore it back to the
fort.
While the savages were scalping the
mother and Newel an Indian girl grasp
ed John and concealed him under a pile
of brush near the roadside, saying as
she did. "You heap pretty; too pretty to
be scalped.”
Thinking the voices of the soldiers wore
Indian voices, he remained In his hiding
place until attracted by the cries of his
brother not far away In the woods. With
the tenderness of baby instinct ho braved
the surrounding dangers and amid the
gathering darkness wended his way to his
distressed brother. Still clinging tn the
handkerchief of rolls, ho led toward home

his older brother blinded by blood flow
ing from the scalped head. On and on
this little two-year-old hero guided the
steps of his brother over and anon halt
ing to apply to the bleeding head a small
piece of cotton roll which he would ex
tract from the handkerchief with his
chubby lingers, until they stood at the
home gate and cried for pa. But their
cries were answered only by the echoes
of disappointed hope.
At that moment the father was kneeling
heartbroken over the lifeless clay of his
wife and pouring out the anguish of his
soul In a petition to his God for the
safety of his boys whom he believed to
be in the hands of the Indians.

shiver of terror through the soul of that
heroic babo as lie pressed down the lint

"Novice,” Crcwsville, Ala.—Dear Junior:
There is something for us all to gain in
life if we will but try. The first thing for
us to do is to raise our aim to a touch
higher elevation than our tmrroundings
seem to afford. Then make up our minds
to Improve every opportunity—save the
margins of time instead of idling them
away. When once we "get the wheel to
rolling, we must keep our shoulders to
it." There will at all times be stumbling
blocks} to roughen our road. But if we
have the right determination it will make
no impression on us. of course there will
be always some one ready to ridicule us.
But that is only for the better. That will
test as to our grit or self-reliance. We
must be able to stand criticism while in
our youth, for when we grow older we
will find that wo have just begun to make
rivals, and again, our younger critics or
pests, "will be living from hand to
moutji,.’’ In ignorance, without friends.
When on the other hand our alm will be
our abundant and constant helper.
We are our own judges; so we have to
exercise our own judgment. We must
never tiescend from what we consider our
best opinion for fear of making enemies.
Note—You make a great mistake in not
giving your name; you could have gone ou
the honor roll.

after the accident, while the. passengers

Rivers Powell, Grove Hill. N. C.— Dear
Junior: I want to step in a moment this
morning to tell you of a sad accident
that happened in our back yard. There
was an oil apple tree and two little blue
birds had their nest in a hollow in the
body of it, and had two little birdies in
the nest. .My brother was driving some
cows out and just as the cow passed
the tree the mother bird tlew out to de
fend her young. The cow kicked and
killed the bird in a second. Oh, we were
so sorry. The other bird fed the little
ones all day an,l would sit out and sing
as if he was Dying to make his mate
bear him. That, night it rained and poor
birdies dud. Tlie mite bird went away
for a little while and brought him a
mate with him so they have four eggs

will happen to this mother bird, for
ihero is nothing in the way of love to be
compared with a mother’s. My older
sister saw the killing of this bird, or
mamma said she would have always be

Love is the ruling element of life; the

there Is not pne human soul in a million

unselfish and discreet, constitutes the
chief happiness of humai. life. Men and
women are not complete in their experi
ences of life until they have been sub
dued into union with Ihe world through
their affection. The bosom that does not
feel love is cold; the. mind that does not
conceive it is dull; the philosophy that
does not accept it ii- false, and the only
true religion in the world has pure, un
dying love for its basis. This life would
not be worth the living were it not sea

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many o ese
infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity,
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Gastoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signatme of
Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the
pores of the skin and allays fever.

familiar these days. Would like for the
cousins to give me a letter party tiie

Roena. Pridgen. Kerr.N.C.—Dear Junior:
1 have never come around before to call
on Aunt Susie, and take a little look at
my many unknown cousins. So please
be patient, a few moments, and hear me
through. Most all the subjects have been
llscussed, so I will take for mine: "The
Ruins of Time." There is a great many
things to ruin time, and some things
which we least expect, such as idleness,
-ambling and spending our time in riot
ous company. M'e should be careful
how we spend our time, and not act
so as to cause ft to be ruinous to us.
if we could not improve our time by
studying, reading and keeping good com
pany or such as would benefit us by
maring good conversations, learning and
improving our minds, and time, and
■quid not have the spare time to read
and study, we could not expect to have
our minds cultivated. But I think ft
would be better than to do like some;

spend all their spare time In seeking
. pleasure and in frivolous company. When
we are wasting all our time in idleness
or in going about seeking pleasure, we
will certainly lament it when we have
grown to be men and women, and find
that we have wasted our time in youth.
Time is more precious to us in youth
• than it is when wo have grown old
I There can be a great deal more said on
. this subject. Lot us hear from you all
on this. Oh, how the Junior page is
improving! So many of our older cous
ins are writing. Come, cousins and let's
■ get to work and see who of us can write
> the best letters. It seems like the girls
are "taking the lead” nowadays. I guess i
some of the boys are busy farming. I
would like to sec Edward Evans and
Jones Nabors "plant frogs” this season.
I thing it is just fine for Aunt Susie to
let the cousins have their pictures in
The Constitution. How many of the
cousins will write me a letter? If any
of you will, write it will be greatly ap
preciated. and I will answer all I can.

Two Prisoners Freed by Mob.
Bluefield, W .Va., May 27.—This morn
ing a mob, numbering fully 200 men, ap
peared at the jail, and. with pickaxes and
crowbars, attempted to liberate two pris-
oners. TJie turmoil aroused the police,
who hurried to the scene, and. seeing
that nothing could stop the wrath ot tha
mob but the release of the prisoners, ac
cepted bond for the culprits, and the
latter departed from the jail and the mob
dispersed.
The prisoners who caused the troubl.
were two brothers, named Johnson. Ona
of the brothers last night became boister
ous. M'hen Chief of Police Calioway at
tempted to arr:-st. him the brother jumped!
in and struck Calloway on the head ulth
a club, inflicting serious injuries.
Here Are Jobs for Thousands.
Topeka, Kans., May 27.—State Employ
ment Agent T. B. Gerow says Kansas
will need at least 25,(700 men and 4 uv)
teams for the wheat harvest. His e
mates are made from reports received
from every township in the state. There
are no idle men in Kansas, so it will be
necessary to import harvest hands fr>m
the neighboring states.
There is a great scarcity of horses end
mules in the state. This is caused by the
fact that during the Boer war thousands
of Kansas animals were purchased by
the British and taken to Africa.
