aympgthr for the* woman of England
and for that matter for tho women of
Amerlog tlao, who want to take part
In government, wo have never been
able to connect the rlote and vandal
ism that goes on In England with the
cause fit woman suffrage.
These outrages are committed In
the name of militant feminism, but
our theory 1* that there la alwaya an
element of lawlesg crooks, ready nt
ihe slightest encouragement to give
full rein to their craze for excite
ment. The women who are creating
all this mischief In England are aim
lily tn a slate of uncontrollable hys
teria. which has been fanned Into
tlames by the hyterla of the govern
ment authorities. Had these women
outlaws been dealt with as men out
laws would have been dealt wlh, for
the same offenses, these riots and de
predation* would have died a natural
death, but the English government
confessed to an hysterical fear of the
women outlaws, by altering the rules
and regulations for them. When
those who were Imprisoned refused
to eat. those In authority over them
took the Irrational ipositlon hut they
should not be allowed to starve them
selves instead of getting fitting
punlebment for their crimes they
were set free under the rat-aml

ed the weakness and tear of the au
thorities.
With such elastic and uncertain
discipline It Is no woudcr that nil
the women of England, whose lives,
had, until th« hour of the milliauts
been of oppressive dullness and mon

Th# very assumption tbs; the mili

a presumption upon the chivalry of
the men, who govern England, for
who knows so well as these wild wo
tnen onilaws that when the English
government decides to match Its
fac# against theirs, they will be utter
ly crushed oui and completely sub
jugated Meantime, while the' gov
ernment ties la own hands with an
overwrought notion of tolerance and
chivalrv toward its women, the wild
ones are miking themselves an enor
mous nuisance. There Is onlv one
answer to' the situation, which has
become really dangerous and that U
to shut up the women outlaws in
Home asylum lor the Insane and give
the vote to the rest of the women. If

The following sections from the

MONDAY IS FLAG DAY
IN THE UNITED STATES
The 137th Anniversary of the Adoption of the Flag of the
United States America.
In accordance with Its custom for
the past seventeen years, the Ameri
can King Association reminds you
that Sunday, June 14th, 1914, will be
the 137th anniversary of the adoption
of the stars and stripes, as the Flag
of our country. (The day falling on
Sunday, by general agreement the
formal celbratlon will take place on
Monday, June 15th, the day following
the anniversary). The pbullq recog
nition of Flay Pay as a National anni

nnd more general, would seem to
make unnecessary any reminder to
secure your co-operntion In securing
the widest possible observance this
year.
The Governors In many of the
states have In the past, by their proc
tarnations, called publlo attention to
the day and ordered the Flag to be

their private buildings.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
JEMIMA AND JACK (Pert II.)
One day, at the end of the summer,
many weeks after Jack and Jemima
had left the attic, an old woman came
up the stairs carrying Jemima and
her chair and Jack and the tin kitch
en, all In her apron. In one hand she
carried the little red rocking chair,
which she placed under the eaves.
Then she laid Jack on the box, where
he had been before, and placed Eho
tin kitchen on the floor near the box.
"Poor Jemima,’’ said the old wom
an, aa she placed Jemima in her lit
tle chair close beside Jack; "you don’t
look as prim and neat as you did
when my little girls played with you.
There wouldn’t be much left to keep
jHyBL' £*, vCHL- - _ /
My* jysfc.
"GOOD NIGHT, JACK.”
In the attic If Martin and Frances
played with you long.”
Then the old woman went down the
stairs and Jemima heard the door
close. When everything was still that
night and the moonlight was stream
ing through the window, Jack heard
a sound of crying.
‘■Jemima." he said, "don't cry; I
love you just the same even if your
hand Is broken. Will you marry me
now ?"
"Oh. Jack, how can anyone love me
looking as I do now?" sobbed Jemima,
“and my dress is torn and my bonnet
that I have had ail these summers
and winters looks like an old one.
Oh! dear, that X should ever come to
look like this!”
"Don't cry, Jemima," pleaded Jack,
"I love you just the same; say you
will marry me."
"I will If you still want me," said
Jemima, faintly, "but It was awful the
way those children used me. Why,
Jack, they even put me beside a bear
they called Teddy at the tea table,"
said Jemima, with a shudder. •
"Things have changed since out
day. Those little girls even took that
bear in their arms and hugged him,
too," said Jemima, drying her eyes.
"There are no suitable matches for
well-born dolls such as I am. Why,
Jack, you are a better match than
anyone, and I am so glad you came
back with your head on. I thought
they would kill you the way they made
you Jump."
Although this was rather a doubt
ful compliment, Jack was so much in
GEORGIA FACTS-No. 6
THE GEORGIA WATERMELON HAS A NATION-WIDE REPUTATION.
AND UNUSUALLY FINE CANTALOUPES ARE ALSO GROWN
Georgia watermelons have a nation-wide (pine. and their cultivation
has a great present and a still more prosperous future. Over ten thou
sand earloads are shipped to Eastern markets from Georgia annually.
About 1.000 watermelons are raised to an acre, and this makes a car
load. as there are 26.000 to 2(1.000 pounds In an average car shipment.
Melons weighing below twenty pounds are generally not shipped, but
used In local markets.
Mark Twain, in writing of the Georgia watermelon, said:
"The true Georgia watermelon is above, apart and not to be men
tioned with the common things of earth. It is one of the world's chief
luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When
one has tasted It. he knows what angels eat. It certainly was not of a
Georgia watermelon that Eve partook; we know it because she re
pented.'*

love with Jemima that he did not take
offense.
"Yes, X am lucky to have my head,”
he said, "but Jemima, I have one leg
that will not move as It used to. Those
children certainly did maTve me jump
some, and although I thought I was
as young as ever, I soon found my
joints were not so easily worked as
they were once. Do you think you
can love me, Jemima, with this leg
out of order?”
‘‘Oh! Jack, If you had neither legs
nor arms I should love you," said
Jemima. “All I ask is that we be left
In peace the rest of our days in this
attic. How could I ever have been so
silly as to wish to leave you and to
think I did not value love such as
yours and wanted to be taken out of
here to meet some ope else.
“01.1 Jack, I was so afraid you
would fall in love with one of those
dolls the children brought with them.
They could close their eyes when they
went to sleep, too."
“I did not look at those foolish crea
tures but once," Jack assured her.
"They had such silly looking faces;
not a bit like yours, Jemima. I am
glad the children did not break your
face, as well as your hand.”
"So am I,” said Jemima. “I can
get along very nicely with a broken
hand, because I have another that is
perfectly good; but if anything had
happened to my face I do not know
what I should have done, because it
is the only face I have, you know."
"It is the best face in the world,”
declared loyal Jack, "and I would not
have your eyes close at any time, be
cause . your eyes are so beautiful I
want to see them all the time.”
“Oh, Jack, you are a silly boy,”
laughed Jemima, but her voice sound
ed soft and sweet, so Jack knew she
did not mean what she said.
“I had to wait a long time, Jemima,
to hear you say you would marry me,”
said Jack; "but it was worth the sum
mers and winters I waited, and now
we can settle down to our old age in
comfort, for those children will be too
old to play with us when they visit
their grandmother again."
“I am sure you are right. Jack,
dear." said Jemima, "you always are.
Children do not play with dolls and
toys now as they did in our young
days. ' What do you want for break
fast, Jack?"
"Oh, don’t you bother about that,”
said Jack, "I will get up and build
the fire, and when the water is boil
ing for the coffee I will call you, Je
mima. I don’t care if I do not have
any breakfast as long as you love
me.”
“I guess you would soon stop loving
me," answered Jemima, "if I did not
give you something to eat. Be sure
to call me as soon as the water is
boiling. Good night, Jack. Are you
quite sure you love me with one of
my hands broken?"
•‘Yes, Jemima, I shall love you for
ever and ever, always. Good night."
