I arrived at the near his heart—At luBt the crack of De Soto and went in for a good Immediate doom—a swaying body — meal. Thev gave it to me. It was a thunderous crash to earth. The still raining—I had left home in the proud crest, from its heavenly alti- rain and got there in the rain. In tude, now bent with soulless dust. A the meantime the wind rose*—the continued and it got colder and cold er. By morning it was decidedly COOL—still raining and still blow ing. With a suit case that con- rained a few spring frocks—the situ ation didn't look auspicious How ever—in a way that we think would have shamed Pollyanna herself we accepted the weather as a side line and waded into the convention. We would have gotten on beautifully if a set of little spring chills hid not begun to climb our back—and if there is anything that can beat a spring chill for making you want to bite somebody in the neck—-it is the second set of chills. By noon—we had no appetite—but more chills— and a big box of aspirine. From then on for two days—by attending the sessions whenever duty called us —going back to the hotel and getting on the outside of two pellets—and the inside of four blankets—we man aged to have a good time at the con vention and not get sent home for neglect of duty. A cup of hot cof fee three times daily and one good oyster stew about comprises the food for those two days—but the pageant on Tuesday night which was the main thing we were there for went over the top with flying colors—so everybody said—We were able to at tend a midnight supper as the guest of the State President of the P. T. A. —and leave for home the next morn ing at break of day. And when I got home—our zinnia bed had the pip. Maybe you never saw a zinnia bed with the pip— und you don't want to—it is indeed a terrible sight. They can’t stnnd up —they turn pale around the cc and all their hair falls out. The first sound I heard was that bed call ing for “Ma-a-a-ma—” and I have Keen working with them ever s It seems that you had a part of that same cool rain and wind that wc hid in Savannah—and it had done the work for those poor little things. About half of them gave up the ghost entirely—but by bathing their feet—putting cold cloths to their heads—and covering them with pa per blankets—I hope I shall mnage to save the* rest. Down hearted? Not on yom —its all in the game—you very sel dom raise children without at least one good case of measles or whoop ing cough—so I’ll just let it > that. They’ll all be budding and smiling in a day or two—ind I guess I’ll forget about my broken back i be able to smile again. Speaking of smiles—it is a g< thing that I have a good disposition —because with all this matter of 1 bed of zinnias having the pip added to two other little things of which I will tell you—it might have been I would have felt real bad and got ten mad—only I didn’t. When I got back from .Savannah and the Union Recorder came out—1 found that the printer’s devil had decided that he thought that plan of mine . for having a sunrise party in my j East garden was a “rotten" one— 1 maybe he ia not by himself—and 1 had better not send out invitations —I had written—“I had the rather foolish idea" and he changed it 1 "the rotten foolish idea”—See?—. Then—I noticed in Miss Ditty s column—that when she got back from where ever it was she went— she found “Mrs. Hines still hobbling; along—’’ oh me—and oh my— good- j neis gracious—and I thought I walking so nice and slow and staid ! and dignified—and hardly wobbling | at all. Never mind—1 shall just have to try harder—that's all. So if you see me coming down the street in "first" all the way—you may! know what is the matter—so stop and encourage me—and ask me how to pip is progressing. I hope I shall be able to soy—“Quite well—thank you—quite well” tower of liberty and freedom supine—helpless—at the feet of its deL.-toilers! Never U> rise again, as* truth crushed to earth may. Man, militant proponent of liberty and freedom, chief executioner of both! Left to his own device*, man becomes a destroyer of ail about him, transforming the natural into the artificial, the sublime to the ridicu lous. Left to his own devices, mind you; last of all, he frames his own shack Id-. Hinds himself to eternal . servitude. What a sermon for the seeing eye! Not all sermons are pleasing, especially those we see; but they | are sermons, nevertheless, and. brist- j ling with true testimony. To heed each fuithful sermon is wise, whether seen or heard; it is oar duty to see Johnson. "Why’s JSmpSon look ing for .i cashier? He engaged one only a month ago."
