Preserve the Snap-Bean Farm and the Magazine
When a great man dies there la always a rush of the friends end ad
mirers to be first to show their devotion and love by endeavoring to es
tablish some permanent monument to the man’s memory.
The Georgian felt this Impulse at the time of Mr. Harris'last hours,
but Just shortly before be breathed Tils last he requested of his family
that no monument be raised for him—that he wanted his writings, and
especially the magaxlne that bears his name, to bo the monument the
people should recognize.
We, of course, felt that we should respect bis every wish—and have
taken no steps In contradiction of It
Many other suggestions have been made. The Atlanta Constitution
of Tuesday morning mokea a fine auggestion on behalf of Mrs. Northen,
that a park be named for Mr. Harris. This, of course, should be given
by the city and no doubt will be done.
We have another,' and. we believe, a very timely auggestion that
should be kept In mind, and, when times will permit, be carried out. It
Is the purchase and preservation of the Snap-Bean Farm, Mr. Harris'
home. We realize that such a move would be unwise Just now, but we
believe a move could be made later which would meet with success.
It is needless to remind our readers that this has been done In nu
merous other Instances.
Longfellow's home has been preserved thru the Instrumentality of
the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Mount Vernon, the home of our flrat president, Is preserved today
as It originally stood, and many other places, possibly not even so dear
to the hearts of the people as Is this one, have been kept Intact In mem-
ory of the men who have by their lives made then} dear. Then will not
the time come when our various clubs and associations may unite and
give to the public this quiet home that would he a fitting landmark for
our people and for visitors for generations to come? It may not be un
wise to suggest that the park might be located at the Snap-Bean Farm
If tns city does not find It possible to give a park separately.
The magazine that Mr. Harris has cherished so Is now well estab
lished. Some persons have asked what effect his death will have on It.
There Is little room to deny that even with all Mr. Harris was and
meant to us, the magazine was n magazine of very superior value with
out that part contributed by the editor himself. Should Mr. Harris' death
be felt by Undo Remus's Magazine It could not be felt for some time.
Most people are unfamiliar with magazine-making. A publication
like the Ladles’ Home Journal, for Instance, Is getting out Its next
Christmas number now. They have to prepare everything so far ahead,
and the articles that appear In them are often written a year ahead.
We presume Mr. Harris has left'edltorials and stories which will be
dearer to us now even than they could have been were he still with us.
So It can readily be seen that Mr. Harris will live on In tbc maga
zine for months to come, and with our love for every Institution that
stands for good, and has Its home In the South, we take this opportunity
to aay possibly what the owners of the magazine could not say with the
propriety that a disinterested neighbor could—that there Is no reason
why Mr. Harris' wish that Uncle Remus's Magazine be hla monument
should not bo splendidly realized.
For even those who may have been attached to the magazine be
cause It was edited by Mr. Harris will feel hla Influence In Its every
page for years to come. His lovable personality has been seen on every
page, nnd It will remain.
We are all trying to pay the great man tribute. This Is The Geor-
glan's alncerest tribute—paid In Justice to the child of his love—and
paid the more sincerely because his family nor the other owners of the
magazine know we nre doing It. Shall not Undo Remus's Magazlno be
Mr. Harris' monument?

Killing 8ong Birds.
The writer of these lines strolled
down to the igd fair grounds Sunday
afternoon nnd witnessed a eight which
saddened his heart. There lying In
front of the pavilion were the remains
6f fivo Innocent, harmless birds, three
catbirds, one thrush nnd a blue bird.

kill these harmless birds and destroy
their nests. Don't do It, boys.—Madi

Wanton slaughter of birds, especially
the Utile feathered citizen* who are
unfit for game, Is bail enough when
done by an unlhoughted boy. but when

such things, the hand of the law
should be swift snd stern In Its work.

Little Willie’s
Bathing Suit.
L ittle willie tatom. who
lives In the Third Ward, likes to
go In swimming, and ao does hit
best chum. Bully. Bully Is a St. Ber
nard of unwieldy size and exurberant
manner. He has been trained In tho
life-saving business by Willie's father,
who knows his son's swimming pro
pensities. nnd feel* safe when Willie la
accompanied by Bully.
Willie went to White City the other
afternoon, paid for his ticket and went
In wanhln' In tho big bathing pool. The
attendant thoughtfully provided a bath
ing suit for Willie, who donned It In
disgust out of deference to the ladles
who form an Interested gallery'durlng
the swimming seances.
The man didn't provide a suit for
Bully, who had to Content himself with
sitting on the bank and whining anx
iously at the sight of Willie In the
water.
Then Bully remembered his business,
or pretended to.
"I must save him,” he must have
thought.
Anyway, he suddenly gave a howl,
jumped from the bank and aelxed Wil
lie's bathing suit In the most conven
ient »pot. Then he turned and made
for tho bank and the spectators. Wil
lie thought It a good Joke to be dragged
nut backward until Bully reached the
bank snd began pulling him out.
For bathing suits are not warranted
Ironclad. There was a sound of rip
ping cloth, a squeal from the crowd
on the bank, a swish of skirts up the
hill, nnd Bully emerged from the pool
with nlne-tentha of a bathing suit be
tween hip teeth. And Willie ewam back
lo the bath house, keeping low In the
water, and begged the loan of a blan
ket until he could climb out wrapped
In its friendly folds. G. D. G.
A Merry Widow
Headache.
The man on .the front platform of
tho Capltol-ave.' car rubbed hie fore
head wearily as he moved over to make
room for more of the crowd returning
from church, and complained to his
neighbor:
"Gee, this Is a tough headache."
"Too much work?" Inquired his
friend, In sympathy. ,
"No, too much Merry Widow hat,"
said the churchgoer. "Sat behind one
during the sermon. Had one eye focus
ed on the back comb under It and the
other chasing Itself around ’the brim
trying to see the preacher. She moved
her head every thirty seconds and my
eyes swapped Jobs. That’s all."

What Uncle Josh Wanted.
The other day a farmer person ram
bled Into a gents' furnishing store and
after glancing around awhile, finally
anchored near the umbrella display and
broke open a conversation with the
clerk relative to the purchase of a rain
ehedder. The clerk showed him sev
eral umbrellas, but none of them seem
ed td slxe up to the rurallte's expecta
tion.
"They're too demed small," he said,
negatively shaking hla head. “Haln’t
ye got one bigger than that?"
"Oh, I see.' flippantly remarked the
clerk. “You want one to cover tho
whole family."
“No, I don't,” was the prompt retort,
of the farmer. "I want one to cover

"We get some sad cases," said the
attendant at the Lumpton lunatic asy

attendant. “He was In love with a
girl, but she married another man and
he lost hla reason from grief.”
They stole out, softly closing the door
behind them and proceeded to the next
Inmate.
This cell was thickly padded and the
man within was stark, raving mad.
"Who Is this?" Inquired the visitor.
"This,” repeated the attendant. "This
Is the other man!”—New York Mall.

There Is sorrow In the land today at
the passing away of a man who has
brought cheer and liapplnes* to many
homes, for in the passing Into the
beyond of Joel Chandler Harris this
country has lost one who has made It a
happier land.
The children of America and of the
world have loet a loved companion and
friend In the death of "Uncle Remus,"
who waa Joel Chandler Harris, and the
older children have loet the wise advice
of a man who put philosophy Into hla
writings, a man who has made the
world happier because he lived In It.
That child who has not had the Joy of
hearing what "Uncle Remus” had to soy
Is a child who has lost much, for he
knew how to reach the heart of child
hood. Who la It that haa not been
delighted with "Brer Rabbit" and hla
adventure*, the "Tar Baby" and all that
happened to him, and the many other
storlea of the folk lore of childhood and
of the South which have caused so
much delight?
"Uncle Remus" haa gone acrosa the
great divide, but the things he has
written are living and he yet speaks to
us. In the name of childhood, the white
Illy of the buman race, we lay Immor
telles upon hla tomb. God reat him, for
he haa made the world happier because
he lived.
Tampa Tribune.
Thle country nnd the world at large
owes Joel Chandler Harris a debt of
gratitude. HI* death at Atlanta Friday
night will be universally mourned, but
his name will live for ages as the com
piler nnd editor of those classics of the
old-time negro In which the dumb ani
mals were given human Intelligence,
human speech and human passions.
They go much further toward forming
a basis of a purely American literature
than does the negro melody to furnish
one for a national school of music—
altho, perhaps, Dvorak and his follow
ers might not consent to this.
Mr. Harris retold these tales of the
plantation In a way to show how fully
he entered Into the spirit and meaning
of the various adventures and the sin
gular personalities of the characters that
took part In them. In his Imagination
Brer Rabbit. Brer Wolf, Sis Cow, Ole
Mr. Terrapin. Brer Fox, Brer Possum.
Miss Meadows and do gals—all the
dramatis personae who entered Into the
plot* of the remarkable Uncle Remus
stories—were as real, a* true to life
and as deeply Interesting as to the
venerable old uncle himself when exert
ing his talents as actor and raconteur
to delight and astonish the "chlluns
fum de big house.”
These stories, will remain for all
time on the shelves ot public and pri
vate libraries and will give Joy to mil
lion# yet to come as they have been
the delight of millions In the past and
still are In the present The philosophy
In these stories, the quaint portrayal of
human attribute* with a pen stroke aa
delicate as that of Wordsworth or
Burns, makes them as entertaining to
the adult mind a* they are mlrth-pro-
voklng to the little ones. They are lit
erary gems, unique In thought quality
snd In expression. They have Immor
talized their compiler and the name of
Joel Chandler Harris Is destined to live
longer than the names of many more
pretentious authors whose books ate
devoured during a holiday season and
are then forgotten.
Florida Tlmes-Unlon.
Uncle Remus Is dead. By that name
he was known and loved from one end
of this broad land to the other. He de
lighted the young: he Interested the
mature and the old: be reflected honor
on hla state, hla section and hla nation.
The world owes to Joel Chandler
Harris the negro folklore which flrat
gave him a reputation. Mr. Harris did
not Invent the storlea he told so well
thru Uncle Remus’ lips. He heard them
from the negroes of the section in
which he grew up. These quaint ato.
rlea were known to others and told hy
others In that section of Georgia, but he
saved them to posterity by putting them
In print.
No one can calculate the good shed
abroad over the world by such a life
as that which Joel Chandler Harris
lived. He was modest, gentle, genial;
and his mission was to spread peace
and happiness. Hundreds of thousands
of little children, now grown to man
hood, nnd hundreds of thousands more
still In happy /hlldhood have listened
with sparkling eye» and breathless In-
terest to the stories that he told for
their amusement. Hearths have been
brightened and homes made happier by
him all over the English speaking
world, and the sweet Influence for Joy
which he so widely shed abroad will
survive him to delight millions who arc
yet unborn. His contribution to the
world's literature will endure and will
make for him a monument more beau
tiful than any that the sculptor could
design.
His influence live*, but he himself
has gone from us and the Blessed Mas.

Montgomery Advertiser.
The death of Joel Chandler Harris,
the "Uncle Remus" of the young, and
of many thousands who are not young.
Is a distinct loss to modern literature.
Especially Is It a loss to those of us
who are familiar with the cmalnt lan
guage. beliefs and superstitions of the
Southern negro of the old days. All
over the country, but particularly In
the South, the topical stories, sketches
and poems of Uncle Remus have
cheered and delighted the young and
the old alike, and "Br'er Bear" and
"Br'er Babbit" and “Br’er Wolf and
the other animals who have occupied
such a conspicuous place In hla writ
ings will not again, perhaps, find such
a delineator as Mr. Harris was. His
was to an unusual degree the gift nt
getting close to the Hearts and feelings
of hi* readers and 'of putting great
truths and sound sense In a shape that
would attract readers and secure at
tention. Georgia has produced no more
lovable character and no more popu
lar writer than Uncle Remue. and we
may wait long before finding another
like him. May he reat In peace In the
soil he loved, and may hla grave and
hla memory be kept green!
