THE BROTHERS.
Work and wait are brothers two,
Sturdy friends for me and you.
If success we wish to win.
This is how we should begin:
Ho our best both soon and late.
Satisfied to work and wait.
Work says: "Who would win his crown
Never must sit idly down.
He who would successful be
Must fare Stanchly forth with me.
Using wisely hand and brain
Ere my guerdon he. shall gain.”
Walt says: "He who would excel
Must not scorn with me ito dwell.
He must not impatient be
His reward of toil to see.
Too much haste may lose the prize—
Who knows how to wait is wise.

Did you ever hear the song of the
Cicada Canlcularis? I know each of
you will deny it, but you have all the
same. Listen in 'the woods any hot day
in July, or late in the afternoon, and
you will hear it. It sounds to me: Dee!
Dee! Dee! Dee! a number of times until
the sound dies away In a little trill.
Oh! you say now tl..at’s a locust. Yes,
he is generally cadled that, but its a
slander, he is no'.. His common name is
the "July fly ' but his family name or
surname, U you choose, is of the large
family called "Cicada,’’ and his given
iiaras is "Canicularis" as year's is Jim.
Tom or BUI. But his name means some
thing "dog fly” while yours means noth
ing. but is only good to call you to
dinner, or to go to fishing. You just
remember his real name. ''Cicada C ni
cularis," repeat it to rhe next b y you
meet and ask him if he ever heard him,
and if it don t put your jaws out of
joints in pronouncing the name, the other
Loy will deny that he ever heard him.
People sing with their mouths, but
this little fellow does not. On the sides
of his body there is stretched a little
piece of thin membane like the head of
a drum or a banjo, and he rubs his wings
against his and makes his Dee! Dee! etc
"Bugologist” (they cal] themselves "«n
tomologists.” but they study bugs) tell
us 'that this is their love song, to ted
their sweethearts that they are looking
for them
When I was a young man I remember
n very pretty girl who used to sing to
the boys: “Ain't 1 sweet? Ain't I swe. •'
and then turn in the funniest way aril
look at them. It wis more funny to
us older ones than the side show of i
circus. Maybe Cicada sings the same
song; 1 do not know.

JUNIOR CORRESPONDENCE.
Mabel Cobb. Dayton, Miss.—Dear Ju
nior: 1 think ail of the young people
should talk more about the heroes of the
past and I will toll you who my hero was;
it was Henry Grady. I was reading last
night about him. In my fifth reader
is a piece he had written about ' Home.”
It is beautiful Mamma has his picture
in her scrap book. She ;ut it in there
before 1 was born. She has lots of pret
ty’ pieces of poetry that were written
about him. I would be glad to know my
little brother would grow to make a good
and useful man like him. Age 12.
Estacao de Reboucas, Estado de Sao
Paulo, Brazil. S. A Dear Junior: Gere
comes a. boy cousin from the "Land of the
Southern Cross,” asking to be admitted
again. I wrote five or six years ago. but
only signed part of my name. I wish
to say to my relatives in South Carolin.it
and Florida that 1 arrived safely home on
Christmas day and that I have written
to several that have not answered. We
raise coffee. corn, sugar cane, cotton, rice
and all the tropical friuts. Tt is winter
with ns now. Would like to hear from
Nellie Cavender also. Address as above.
N E. M Minchin.
Sue Chandler. Ruffin, N C Dear Jun
ior: I will take for my topic "Politeness.”
T'olitem- :■ is the oil which lubricates the
wheels of s.i-lety. As. charity covers a
multitu !e of sins before G >d, so does
politeness 1 < fore men. Everybody ought
to be polite and they won't be awkward
in company. Politeness will make you
happy. How important is i that we
should practice it in youth for. as Sir
Waiter Raleigh sal.! "B< t.iw tlic.i youth
is that thou maysf have comfort to re
member it when it J ith forsaken thee.
Whilst thou art young thou wilt think
it will m ver end. but behold, the long
est day hath its evi ning. and thou shalt
enjoy it but once, t\r it never returns
Use it therefore as the springtime,
which soon departeth ..ml wherein thou
oughtest to plant and sow all provisions
for a long and happy life. Manners are
more important than laws.
1 would like a shower of letters.
■'Ethel,” Ruffin, N. C.—Dear Junior:
Here comes a girl from the Old North
State to join your merry band. I will
take for my subject Kissing Games.”
No doubt it would be very gratifying
to a young man for you to allow him to
kiss you, but if you want to retain his
entire respect ~ w 11 as tb ■ v -pe t of
your other friends, never allow it.
The girl that allows Ill" rl ■ -of this
kind, even in plays, although she may
be pretty, wifi be low led by tin* voung
man, and the plain girl that keeps men
at arm’s length, treating them with sim
ple courtesy, will be far more attractive.
There is a. sweet, indescribable chirm
about pure, modest girl that can never
ie possessed by one wno permits herself
to be kissed by whoever may ch"Ose her
.is a ’artner. To sum it al! up, never
allow much familiarity with man unless
he Is your betrothed husband, and then
mu in public.
Money much handled h"es its luster,
as lips much kissed lose their sweetness.
1 have six sisters and no brothers; have
one little sister in heaven.
John W. 11 iff. come again. I enjoyed
your letter so much.
Mary Geddie, Fayetteville. N. C.—Dear
Junior: As 1 seldom see many letters

Welcome. 1 am a country girl, 19 years
old. and a farmer's daughter. I live
in the swamp country, near Fayetteville,

warm weather? We have been having
some very warm weather here and lots of
rain. 1 dearly love to read the junior

page, and think it is nice reading for al!
the young folks. May Aunt Susie live
a long and happy life. How many of the
cousins like to read? I do. I really en
joy it better than most anything else. I
think good reading is beneficial to the
mind and we should all try to improve
our minds and read ail the good books
and papers that we can. I wonder what
all the juniors are doing these days. I
have been helping to can peaches this
week. 1 live 2 miles from the Baptist
church and » mile and a half from the
Methodist. Wishing all the juniors and
Aunt Susie success and a jolly time, 1
will close. Farewell.
M. Vivian Martin. Rapley, S. C., R. F.
D., No. I.—Dear Junior: I am another
Palmetto state girl. I live In the north
western part of South Carolina. We have
a beautiful home; there are so many
large oak trees in our yard to shade us
while we play croquet. Do you cousins
like to play flinch? I do. We certainly
have a fine time playing. I boarded away
from home and went to school this ses
sion. Wo had such a sweet music teach
er. By the way, I would like to ex
change the words and music of "Alice.
Where Art Thou?” for words and music
of “Stay In Your Own Back Yard.” I
have attended five picnics this summer.
I have two sisters and four brothers.
Ono of my brothers Is In New York at
Cornell university, taking Latin and
Greek. Ho teaches school at Furman
university. We have grapes and peaches
now. Mary Ellen Waters, you almost
have my birthday. Yours Is August 30,
and mine Is the 31. I like to *read very
much. Did any of you cousins ever read
"Temptest and Sunshine?” It is Just fine.
The "Black and Red Rock” I have heard
aro good, although I have never read
them.
We have lots of flowers, but they are
as pretty as they were last summer,
I would like for some of the cousins
from the western and southern states to
write to the Junior. I would like corre
spondents; either sex; age 15.
Wheeler Harden, Alanthus, Ala.—Dear
Junior: Will you admit me again Into
your happy band of cousins? I am some
distance from where I was when I wrote
last. My brother and I left Wheeler,
Miss., last Thursday evening. I arrived
here this morning (Saturday). I was
somewhat worried when I got here. My
new home is situated on Klondike ridge,
between Big Bear and Little Bear creeks,
4 miles from the nearest town, which is
Burlsson, and 21 miles from Russell
villc, the nearest railroad station, which
is a pretty town. This is a very pretty
place to live. The land is mostly upland.
We have bottom land some distance away.
We have very good society here. Boys,
let the. girls know that we are awake.
They can write- good letters and we can
too if we only try. “Where there’s a will
there's away;” so let's pick up courage
enough to pen a few words to this page.
I, lor one. think it is improving fast. If
we will get deeply Interested and push on
ward and upward and do our very best
every time, we will sure make this page
a great success by our own efforts. Cou
sins, wo should thank Aunt Susie for
printing our pictures in the junior page,
for I think she is a great and good wom
an. I would like very much to corre
spond with some boys ami girls, or both,
between 15 and 17 years of age.
Edwin Matheson. Neptune. Fla.—Dear
Junior: The birds are singing their
■ : not* -. all is bright and cheerful
in the morning. Tho breeze gently wafts
the fragrant perfume of a lily to me as I
write. This lily is beautiful now, hut
in a daj or two it will droop its head
and fade away. How beautiful it would
be if eac'h one of us was as pure and
holy as that lily- not a speck upon its
snow-white peinl to mar Its beauty. A
girl that is pure in heart is a pearl that
no man is worthy to win. I will tell
V" i wli.H a nice time I had on the 4th,
at West I’.'.in Beach. I went down Fri
day night, and n< xt morning 1 wont to
see tile sights. The sports were- foot and
b'ieyle races, baseball. etc. The most
Interesting feat was the battle of Ma
nilla. During I'lm day I could see the
Sj ir ish fleet riding at anchor. At. the
appointed hour we went to see the battle,
which started at 7:30 p. m. The display
of tireworks was magnificent, once and
■ while the report of a bomb would reecho
from shore to shore. Soon the Spanish
ships caught afire, and exploded. The
grind ball ,n.t the opera house ended the
celebration.
Eliza E Singleton, Donalds, S. C.—Dear
Junior. 1 have stepped in a few minutes
to congratulate you all on writing such
nice letters and having such a good judge
as Aunt Susie. May the Lord bless her
in all her works. Where are all those
boys? I was in hopes I would get to
ser a few of them, but I'll bo contented
and chat with other cousins. I am a
farmer's daughter and my father’s house
keeper. 1 have six brothers and three
sisters. All at home but two. You may
know there is plenty of racket when we
all get together. My dear mother was
taken away from us three years ago. 1
can sympathize with any one who has
lost a loved one. Let me toll you of a
little accident I saw a few days ago. I
was gathering peaches near the garden.
All at one- .1 heard some one say, “Here's
a snake ” Looking around 1 saw my
sistci standing in two feet of a snake.
Sh< says it was a yard long and as I
don't bother snakes 1 said kill it. She
wont to the cotton house to get a hoe
She found a shovel and in fact every
thing imaginable but a hot. but at last
took a maddock to kill it with: but phsaw,
it. was gone; hasn’t been heard of since.

Tom I.imrick. Zmlii, Miss.- Dear Junior:
J’ happened last Saturday eve. The ac
tors were myself, a cow and a pail of
milk.. This is the way it happened: I was
returning from a neighbor’s late in the af
ternoon carrying a pail of milk, when I
espied a large spotted cow, grazing on
the abundant grass near the path. Seized
by that impulse which causes all boys to

do that which they ought not to do, 1
reached and grasped her tall with my
right hand, while in my left I held the
pall of milk. She started oft at a tre
mendous gait and f was fairly churckling
with delight, when suddenly and without
warning she whirled around, making a
kind of a pop-the-whip curve,l lost my
grasp and after turning about six somer
saults that would have turned a profes
sional pale with envy, I settled a claim
if. the middle of a briar patch 30 feet
away. Life was nearly extinct and doubt
less I would not have revived had not the
pail of milk descended and overturned di
rectly in my face.
When I had gathered sufficient strength
to raise myself on my elbow, my brother,
who had been a silent spectator, came up
and asked me if I was hurt.
"Hurt?” I replied, "Only my neck brok
en. my skull fractured and eleven ribs
broken. Nothing serious. I will got over
it in a few centuries," and I picked ink
self up and limped slowly homeward.
Ora Hatchett, Dardanelle, Ark—Dear
Cousins: In this letter I will endeavor to
toll you how the Dardanelle Rock Is said
to have received Its name. Many years
ago when Arkansas was inhabited by
Indian trbies, a French boy named Dar
danelle fell In love with an Indian maid
en. One afternoon, as they stood near
tho rock which bears his name, he told
her to go horns and ask her father if
she could marry him. He also told her
that if her father gave his consent

she must return before sunset. Then he
climbed to the top of the rock and watch
ed anxiously until lie saw the last ray of
sunshine fade away; but she never re
turned. 'When he saw the last ray of
sunshwino fade away he leaped V»om the
rock, saying. “If her father shall take
her heart tho waves shall take mine,”
and his broken heart soon sank beneath
the waves of tie Arkansas river. Whether
this is correct or not I cannot say. but
I have heard it all my life. Historians
say that Dardanelle was named after
John D. Darnenne.
I became quite- inter sted in Ernest Wil
liam's letter for I hope to travel myself
some day.
I would like esoe.'ially to visit the tombs
of our ber's-s w io ne’’-- r bonotifli our
country's Hag a 1 eh seem to say, “You

sacred honor for my sake, ami 1 will pro

In my other letter my address was
printed wrong. I live in Arkansas, in
stead of Alabama.
Nellie Cavender, Strobe Ga.—Dear Jun
ior: Since my photo appeared in tho
Junior column I have received many nice
letters from different states. Those I
have not written to have lost tlmlr ad
dress. Many thanks to all for compli
ments. My mother says a sweet dispo
sition is very much more to be desired
i aau a pretty face.
"Beauty is only skin deep.
While ugly is to the bone;
Beauty fades away
And ugly holds its own.”
■Will tell you all how we celebrated our
last national Thanksgiving at Mossey
Creek High school which is located 20
miles from Gainesville in the beautiful
hills of northeast Georgia. The house
was beautifully de<’orated with ever
greens. flowers, fruits and vegetables. In

was made on the f rm Had Thanksgiv

People came in e'. - tw direction tor miles
around with well-filled baskets, Thanks

old people engaged in social conversa

selves with air. nice varus they liked

"Adeen.” 1413 Glover Street, Augusta,
Ga.—Dear Junior; I would like to see
each and every one of you this morning
and have a nice little chat with you,
but as this Is impossible, I will do the
next best thing, write.
I live in the city of Augusta. Ga.,
sometimes called Georgia's fairest daugh
ter. It is one of the prettiest cities In
the south, and has 50,000 inhabitants.
The streets are wide ami shady, and
there are many pretty residences. S -me
of the finer residences, b/h old and
new, are of tl;e colonial, ante-bellum
style with massive columns and broad
verandas, and such houses, set hack
from the street, shaded by handsome
magnolias and surrounded by yards gor
geous with Ilow-Ts, are a type peculiar
to the south. Ou upper Broad street
there stands an historic old building es
pecially worthy of mention. T» uv is a
tragic history connected with '.his re
markable old house, for during the revo
lutionary war it Is said that more than a
dozen men were hung within its walls.
Another legend has it that Nancy Hart,
a great heroine of the revolutionary era,
oft' n made this old building a stopping
place when making those fa.mo’is rides
through the country.
There are a great many pretty suburbs
around Augusta, the principal ones being
Summerville, Lakeview and Monte Sano.
City life has many pleasures and at
tractions, and although 1 have always
lived in the city, still 1 like the country
very much. Summer is here, again, and
J am truly glad, for I love the “sweet
summer time” better than i other sea
son of the year. Everything looks so
pretty and green now, ami all nature
seems to be aglow with happiness and
vigor.
I have been a reader of The Consti
tution for quite a while, and always look
forward with pleasure to its eotniii;;.
Some of the cousins’ letters are very in
teresting and instructive.
J am a young lady In my teens and
would like to correspond with some oY
the cousins, either sex. Address as
above.
Lonnie F. Ward, 63d Co. C. A., Fort
Casey, Wash.—Dear Junior: With Aunt
Susie's permission, I will step In just
long enough to tell the cousins just a
few words about Fort Casey. It Is com
paratively a new post, but is building up
very rapidly, there being seventeen up
to-date, modern buildings now i/?.der con
struction. At present we are living in
temporary barracks, but we hope to be
In the new quarters by the time the cold
winter snow begins to fall. Fort Casey
is situated on the west central part of
Whidby Island, and Is just across the
I’uget sound from Bort Townsend, YA ash.,
and between 45 and 50 miles north (or
slightly northwest) of Seattle. There
Isn't any city on the Island, just two
small cross road towns. Coupeville, the
largest of the two, is the county seat of
Island county. It has a population of
about two hundred and fifty souls, vvnh
the best wishe*' to Aunt Susie and the
Juniors, I will make my exit.
Alonzo O. Grant, Bingen. Ark ~ l ?^ r
Junior: I come from the pine clad hills
of old Arkansas, the country so famous
for fine apples, good water and hoosiers.
I have long been a reader of Tho Con
stitution, but have never written to your
department, although I love to read the
cousins' letters very much. Some of
them are so Interesting and Instructive,
among which I find one from Mllss Pearl
E. Howse, Lacy, Miss., to be a splendid
specimen. I recall reading her article
on tattling, which was good, though I
would be more severe on that subject,
as I think It the most detestable common
evil of our country.
Idea of thought Is carried out for a
noble purpose. How careful we should
all He In guarding our thoughts, as
speech Is only thoughts expressed,
which. If being evil, will no doubt do
harm to some one, though we may not
Intend It. to. and if never expressed in
words where is the benefit the thinker
derives? Why will people persist In
thinking and saying evil of each other
when it would be so much nicer and so
much more helpful to say something good
and nobll’ that would be encouraging to
tho one of whom they speak and not
brand themselves as tattlers? Perhaps
this could more easily be gotten at and
finally remedied if we would only look
with an eye of love and purity for that
which Is good, nobis and true in a race
of humanity of which wo form an equal
function.
"A New Cousin,” Virginia.—Dear Ju-:
nlor: As some of the cousins write on sub
jects I will follow their example and
choose for mine “Happiness.” Happi
ness the one tiling essential to the
completion of a pure and lovely character,
is much sought after and hard to obtain.
Even in the beautiful springtime, when
all nature seems happy there is a cer
tain part of it, namely man, which never
receives his full shade of happiness; and
one reason is because so many people
.go through this world with closed eyes
failing to see the things which God had
put here for our benefit and pleasure, and
failing to see the sorrows of others.
Though our lives are cast in narrow
channels, though a thick mist of sorrow
and tears may often encircle our souls,
happiness can pave its way through the
darkest shadows of fear and doubt and
make them flee like the shadows ol
night flee before the morning sun.
As we juniors are young people and
take life easy we must remember that
if we make it worth living there will be
many hard things to overcome. Tn the
long run. I expect we will a.gree with some
one who said,
■■rtnnpincss is not here.
It Is not there:
Go seek it where you may.”
AVe can by bearing patiently all the
trials with which we have to contend and
being cheerful and pleasant under al!
circumstances bring happiness into our
own lives. And by constantly scattering
sunshine, such as speaking words of < It”' t
and doing deeds of kindness, we can
carry it into the lives of othets.
AA’alter R. Giles, Econtuchka, Okla.-
Dear Junior: I have for a long time
been a constant reader of The Consti
tution and some of my greatest pleasures
are derived from reading the Junior
page.
1 have never seen a. letter from this
part of the country, and I will try to
describe where I live.
I live in Oklahoma Territory at a little
country place 11 miles form the railroad
and 14 miles from the beautiful city of
Shawnee, which has about. 10,000 inhab
Hants, electric light plant, oil mills and
every thing to make a first-class city.
1 live on the bank of Hie North Cana
dian river and have a nice time bathing.
My father's place borders on the Semi
nole line and I see a great many In
dians, but I have been accustomed to
tlo-ir ways, for I have lived in the Indian
country ever since I was 4 years old.
The Indians very often have big dances
and they dress like they did years ago.
Oklahoma Is a fine farming country. They
raise most everything that grows on the
farm. Tnis is quite a potato section about
here. There are lots of fields of 30 to tio
acres of Irish potatoes.
I am t'he youngest .of the family of
seven children and I am attending school
nt Spaulding institute in Muskogee, Ind.
T. The next scholastic year will begin in
September, and I will be glad when it
begins, for 1 have a good time then. AVe
have all kinds of athletics there. I am
fond of playing baseball and vaulting.
\Ve all wear uniforms and have a fine
time together.
As this is my first attempt, to write to
the Junior page, I will close by asking
any of the girls aged 1G to 20 that whlses
to correspond with an Oklahoma boy just
answer this. 1 will have you to guess at
my age.
They Need the Tonic of the AVoods.
