Wittily did Mr. Felder remark that "men don’t wnatr their uminunttlou on dead bird*." When a eundlilute la getting hot shot peaked Into him, It la a sign his death la very necessary to certain part lea. It la ouaNlble that he may succumb, especially If hta cour age falls, but na tiaual thing this sort of thing, when It doea not kill gives them life. Honors in tills line, however, seem to be very generously distributed among the tleorglu candidates. Mr. Folder may be a bit mote vulnerable than the others but they are working Just as hard on the reNt of them. Tlie trouble la the mlstdio that 1* alltag la not always as deadly as the ha ltd that flings II would like, hut the much - of-a -muchness that Is made of It, the frequency with which tt la sent and the force which hurls It. all Indicate a great deelr to harm. .When this becomes evident the contrary peo ple show their unreasoning quqult tles by arguing that <a candidate that ta ao worth killing to some folks must be worth |>utttng In office and they generally proceed to do It. Which, rewinds us that ufter trying the "Shoo, fly" treatment on Tom HaJtlwick and finding him wax in strength arid Importance they are turning their attention to another inode of attack—sending out the re port from Atlanta that Mr Hardwick waa laying plans for the future which provide fbr his defeat; that. In the event, be is not successful In hts race for tbs rlenate he has arranged to baoome a ntetnlier of New York law firm. This Is a shallow ami d|aeng, n uuua sort of warfare. that Is hard to meet. In the first place, it la supposed to hurt a candidate mightily to asso ciate his name with the bare sugges gcatlon of defeat. The Intimation la Mila caa« Is that Mr. Hardwick has from tha first ben spreading a net to fall upon in case he failed In hts stunt of reaching the Senate. And. again, what sort of Southern Democrat Is It that finds an easy berth In New York law practice. The sort represented by Joe Halley, of Textta. a ho, had he served his State us he served Ills oil king, would never have been wafted by rainring galea to New York, there to steer eoriwiratlon* In Interests around the snags In the law. It Is ni-edleas to say that Tom Hard wick ta no such type of Southern Democrat. If he doesn't get to the Senate—and this "IP Is merely a con cession, for the sake of argument -lie Is Nkely to stay right here In tleorgta. where he was born and bred and where he belongs. We give this ua our opinion, IsiM-d merely on whnt we know of Tom Hardwick and what we know of political tactics and we hi <• ready to bet tbat our guests la the tight on* LOST HER PLACE. (lertrude. aged three, sat tn her high chair at ti e dinner table turning about In her fingers a small ear of corn, from wblrh ehe had been nibbling a row at a time Suddenly she burst Into tears “What ta the matter, dear?" asked her mother ’Tv* my place!" sobbed the lit tle or VINDICATION OF JUDGE SPEER. "If judges are to he subjected to the treatment accorded Judge Speer, how can they he expected to maintain that spirit of Inde pendence ho eaaontlal to the Just administration of law." This Is the conclusion of the minor ity report of the investigating suh« I committee of congress on the irn i peachment charges ago in at Judge j Speer. The Herald has from time to time expressed Its horror and indigna tion at the cruelty and insult which was sanctioned under the name of law and justice in "investigating" the charges against this watchful and scrupulous guardian of the law. Naturally the sympathies of just minded men were strongly appealed to by the proceedings of the court of insult, which were published in full for tiie benefit of every curious and suuperficial observer. Representative! Volstead has scored these .methods witli the scorching scorn they richly deserve, hut the real horror of the thing lies deeper than the personal rights Involved, Important and vita! ns they are to human justice. The conclusion of Representative Vol stoad's report forcefully points to tile mad destruction of Judicial Independ ence which is threatened by the spite and prejudice of disgruntled lawyers and lawless leads of corporate inter ests. In the midst of the general well founded sentiment of discontent with the Judiciary which is fell throughout the whole country because It’s will has been shaped to the will of insid iously powerful Interests. This con spiracy to humiliate Judge Hpeer was cunningly devised, but It failed for the very sufficient reason that Justice reigns In the average mind and no cause for Impeachment could he found. The whole affair however Is a rich object lesson. It reveals in the first place, the determined and unrelenting fight which lawless interests are mak ing for their life —a life that can he maintained only at the xnaerlfire of law. It 'reveals also, that In playing upon tile vindictive antagonisms ami personal spites, It Is possible to achieve gn at wrongs. That the wrong is no greater than It Is is due entirely to the fact that the examination and sifting out of testimony waa the task of impartial men, who had no local ties, no personal Interests to forward and no political or business schemes to blind and bins them. Judge Hpeer has been cleared of the charges and Insinuations that wi re brought against him, but where In our whole system of law and civilization Is there a way to make amends for Inflicting such In dignities and such suffering upon a proud and honorable nature? £LEEPYT[OE WKim THE LITTLE LOST RAVEN. By Virginia. Once upon a time a mother crow and a mother raven each had a nest for their title babies In some tall Ires not very far apart. Mrs. Crow's home wum o uch larger and higher up in her tree than Mrs. Haven's home and site bad four little crows In the nest. The little ones fluttered around and took up so much room she sometimes wished she had made It larger. Mrs. Haven had only one little baby and wished she had more for the nest seemed too Idg for only Papa Haven, Mamma Haven, and the haliy. When the little raven was a few weeks old Its parents started to teach It to fly An first it was very much afraid but at last it spread its wings and managed to fly to the ground. Papa Haven was very proud to see his little baby learning to fly and sabl lie was going to find some thing nice for Its slipper. Off*lie flew for tlielr supper. It began to grow dark and as papa hadn't come home mamma said must go and look for him. She told the little raven to sit In the nest and wait until they came back. All night the little hungry bird waited but neither of them came. The next morning it was so hun gry that it made up Its inlnd It would try to fly out and find some something to eat Itself. Out of the nest It flew but It was so young that tt didn't know which way to fly and It flew up instead of down and right Into the crow's nest where the four liaby crows were eating a nice break fast, Mamma Crow had just j brought them. When the little raven flew Into the nest with Its mouth wide open they didn't know what to make of It hut thought It must be another brother and so they were very niee and shared their breakfast with the netiw-comer When their par ents came home and saw another bird In the mst with the same black glossy feathers they were as much astonished as the others. Mother Crow began to count and found that there were five Instead of four. Then to make sure, leath er (’row also counted five. How It happened they couldn’t toll. Just then the little raven opened Its mouth nnd Mother Crow popped Into It n nice bit of young corn she had brought home and the lit tle raven looked so happy that mother crow said: "l guess we better let it stay, tt won't be much more to feed." Father Crow nod ded his head and so the poor little raven found a nice home. SOOT SPOILS THE CRUSADE. Chlengo was dasrled today bv the Inauguration of the "white clothes for iiMfii' crusade.

The crusaders shivered iuto town In suits of while linen or flannel, white shirts, white l’anama hats, white ties and white canvaa shoes The effect was startling, at least until the soot got In Its work, and then all colors looked alike Hlie to busbacd who has nnnfut of bundles! ib .il h, .veil, J:»>-kA TVhnt tiro all those things* He—Well, 1 meMn't remember Ihe tilings you told me to get so I got all the things 1 thought It might have been. —Judge. THE BOY WHO TRIED. John Graham lived on a farm with Ills father and mother and two broth ers lid ward and Henry John was a quiet boy; be did not go to dances and parties as his brothers did, and they did not help their father about the farm as John did. They did not like the farm life and were always talking about going to the elty when they were old enough, and making a fortune. Their mother was very proud of Edward and Henry. "They favor my folks.” she would say. “John takes after his father's folks; he Is quiet and does not take to learn ing." tine day when Mr. and Mrs. Graham were alone, Mrs. Graham said; “I think Henry and Edward should go to the college sohool they will make their marks in life, I am sure, and they were never cut out for farmers. "Why not send John, too?" asked Mr. Graham. "John does not care for learning,” said Ills mother, "he will never be any thing but a farmer." “He does more work In one day than both of the other boys do In two. Hook learning will never make sensible men if they have not good common sense back of It. Henry and Edward need Sitting by the table reading. to buckle down to Rood hard work and take some of the high notions out of their head*, before they will do much with their books.” "Edward and Henry have minds above the average," said their mother, "and I want them to go to college." So Mrs. Urnhnm had her way and Edward and went to collefte. John did not seem to mind. In. the least, betnit left behind. He helped his fath er Ret in the hay and did more work than ever and found time to help his mother, also. Ills mother loved him and thomrht John a Rood boy, but she felt he never would he ttie brilliant man that either of his brothers would he. if she had gone to John's room at ntKht after everybody was in bed, she would have found him sitting by the table reading, and the hooks he read would have caused her surprise, for stupid boys would not have studied tlreek and lattln or read history By and by John went to town meet ing, and people began to say, "John Graham Is n smart young man." Ills brothers who went to college were through with their studies and Edward was to practice medicine. Henry had studied law. and they open ed their offices in the city. "\\ hat did I tell you." said Mrs. Qrnham, "there they are ~l>r. Graham and 1-awyer Graham. 1 know they would make a name for themselves.' 1 "Better wait until they make a little money." Mr. Graham replied. "1 have paid their rent and their Isvard for six month*. By the way." he continued, "they say in the village that John Is likely to he sent to the t.egtslature next year." . Mrs. Graham looked surprised, for she still looked upon John as a quiet stupid boy. CHE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA. INDOOR SPORTS By Tad The next year John went to the Leg islature. as his father had said, and his mother missed him very much. “John is a good boy," she said, “and lhe house does not seem right without him.” People began to talk about John and the brothers who went to the city school were forgotten. Mrs. Graham began to speak of “My son, John," with a pride she had never felt before, and the next year John took a house in town and his father and mother lived with him. In time he became a State Senator, and then one day he was spoken of for governor ami was elected. Edward and Henry in the metyitime had not been able to make a living, and when John became governor they went to him for help. "Come and live with us,” John tokl them; “there is plenty of room.” And then he found for them positions where they could earn enough to support themselves With all their education they were not able to do what John had done without going to college. Mr. Graham did not say to his wife, "I told you so,” but there wms a very happy look upon his face and a satis- AFTER THE WEDDING AN ILLUSTRATED STORY OF THE WAY A HOME WAS MADE. * vr' , T v/ill',-.' jif iff fiif i# nmwm ■ : 'In f-f a ft Www [ i ,;|tej!!l | 1 1 I 1 i \ J 3/ %l/4/ Great preparations were going on In the home of Tom and Jennie for the arrival of "the little stranger." Jennie was a changed girl now. and did not seem to think or care about alwuvs wanting to go somewhere and he amused, but was completely wrapped up In her little home and the sewing of little things for the wonderful little B«»Y that was expected. One day those women friends of Jennie's stopped tn and wanted her to ro out with them. "Not for me.” said Jen nie. "I'm too happy here at home." And she showed the women *he lit tle dresses she was making. "Huh!" wiul one of the women, "that stuff ts the bunk; now- you ran never have any fun, go any place or do any- “That's a nice, selfish fssling to have,” said Jsnnis. fled tone in his voice when he spoke of “My son, John." The little boys who read this story of John should remember that even if they cannot go to college they may, if they choose, study and become good citizens. The going to college part on ly helps to bring out the real worth of the boy, and if he has the desire and inclination he will surely succeed, whether he goes to college or not.
