Certainly, an a patriotic celebration. th« cock fight in not hi the taatrt of the developed Intellect and ilia culti vated nrtnd. Perhaps the fact that It J« condemned by law ..Htlda to it ß charm for those who like It. But It la the fact that go many per tong appear to like It that la distress ing. The cock lighting which was carried out on a river boat near Au kiisu waa. we understand, exccedlng l.v fcemuneratlve, and although It wag not advertised openly, it drew .nor moua numlier of spectators. This show a very clearly that peraous of developed Intellect ami cultivated minds do not predominate :n thlg neighborhood to any very great e\ tent. Ab h symptom, as an expression nf culture and refinement of Augus ta and Its environs, the success of the recent cock lighting on tha river Is depressing. t'ock fighting Is about the most degrading and trivial sport In the world and Is kuown to bo jr cullar to the most worthless races and the most trifling element In any com muelty. We can auggest no imtric ular remedy for the prevalence of low tastes, because, so many remedies are needed. More libraries with Inviting reading rooms, more social centers, where pleasures ot a wholesome char acter could be had, more recreation parks, more church cluiw and fewer social barriers would overcome the tendency toward. degrading sports, but these things cannot bo furnished for the wishing. Cel us not be misunderstood We do hot look upon the witnessing ot a cock fight as. of itself, a sin, but to ae It indicates a unite that results from the starvation of the natural love of diversion and excitement, and It means degradation. Men who are devoted to the manly sport of base ball or football, do not spend thetr time watching cbickeus light each other. Moreover, men who find great pleasure In this diversion can he counted on to express thetr tendency toward foolish and revolting diver sions in other ways, that eventually exercise their Influence In retarding the progress of the entire community. Cock fighting Is a symptom, that looks ugly to us. MEANT WELI BUT— Thn recall of George Fred Williams, the undiplomatic diplomat who went to Greece and dipped in, ought to teach a lesson. Mr. Williams has, we fear, fallen a victim to the New England con science. to which be lies a good right. Thn New England conscience is onor nionsly keen upon the affairs ot others and no doubt It was the New England conscience which spurred the minister to Greece and Montenegro to tnako himself busy with reforms which were no obviously out of bis jurisdiction that only a New England <onaclet.ce could have blinded hltn to that fhrt Mr. William's conscience is. how ever. upholding him. lie feels that God has impoaed upon him the duty of telling all he knows and thinks about Albania and the fart thlat his passion for butting In ha# created for himself and the nation lie represented In Rnrope a most embarrassing con dition. is not troubling him. lie leaves nil that to others, while haring resigned he now feels free to com ment, as he would like, upon the sit uation in Albania. It Is regretsble ibta Mr. William*' New England eon science could not have been remedied until the notion of resigning had come to him and been acted upon. The mistake seems to have been In selecting a man of New England con- 1 science as a diploma tint. In another field he might have done well, hut a meddlesome conscience is a hud thing for the Knifed States to send to for eign lands. Let it stay at home and ferment, for purification here. As a matter of fact, Air. Williams hag told the truth about Albania. He hag given advice about Albanians a more stable and a # more just government which may be good enough, hut it wag eer tainlj unprovoked in a minister from the Knifed State*. Of course, his bad break, and the necessity for recalling him and repu diating all responsibility Tor his rash talk and meddlesome comments, will furnish ample oi portuntty for new criticisms upon the “untrained diplo mats" and "shirt-sleeves diplomacy.” Of the jibes and sarcasms expected on this latter text the New York World remarks: can bear them. Shlrt-sl.-evps diplomacy, around with clean motives and common sense, has usually done pretty well for us. and often for other people needing help One of these qualifications was in Mr Williams’ case lacking: but he goes with one encomium that trained diplomatists have not always earned Nobody ever said of Metternich or Talleyrand: “He meant well." SssLEEMI(JE mm JACK’S CUSTARD PIE Once upon a time Jack had been a naughty boy. What do you think he had done? I wili tell you. Kook had made a nice custard pie and had set. it in the window to cool, While she went to her room. Jack saw the pie. as ho passed through tin his way to the porch. He was going to write a letter to Ills aunt and had the payor and Ink in his hand. He looked at the pie and gave a big sniff. It did smell good and he thought how much he would like a piece of it. He turned the pie around and sniffed again. He turned quick for he thought lie heard Cook coming in <1 splash went the ink bottle into the pie. < loudness what should he do? He picked out the bottle but most of the Ink was left In the pie. He didn’t want to tell for he knew his mother would tell him that lie shoudl not have stopped at all even to sit If.’ Ho went out on the porch to write his letter but the bottle was full of custard pie Instead of Ink, so he had to give up writing. All at once he heard Cook call and knew that she had seen the pie. Soon ho heard tier coining end he looked tip and saw her with the pie in her hand. When she saw the ink bottle filled with custard In Jack’s hand and of < ouree, she knew that ho had spoiled the pie. "Old you do this, Jack?" gho asked. "Yes, I did Cook and I am very sorry. If you wilt not scold I will take ray quarter, that Uncle Jack gave me and go out and liuy a pie.’’ "Hump," said the Cook, "you are n naughty hoy to meddle, but, if you won’t do It any more, i will excuse you, and you needn’t use your money to buy a pie for I made two. One 1 was going to give you for your lunch tomorrow when you went fishing." THE WAYS OF THRIFT (Copyrighted, ISI4, American Society for Thrift.) THRIFT RACE OF RACES. Some comparative national thrift experiments have been wrought out In farming colonies near Wilmington, S. <\ Hugh Mcßae of that city, secured about 400,000 acres of virgin land, had It surveyed and divided for five sep arate colonies, and set off In 20 and 40- acre forms. Streets were laid out, wa ter supply and drainage planned, the best location for the house on each plot designated, shipping depots built, spur lines run from the main Hue of railroad, and land for school and church donated for each colony. Sub stantial barns were built for mules, wagons, plows ami every necessary farm Implement (according to the cus toms and methods of each nationality) for the purpose of renting at low rates until the colonists were aide to buy their own. The first colonists were put to work ditching, building roads and putting the settlement In shape. Settlers who could not puy cash for their farms were given reasonable installment terms, and comfortable homes were eupplted under the Hume arrangements. Thus many of these foreigners with out a penny came Into possession of a home and a farm. Beyond the pre liminary supervision for the general good of the eomunlty each settlement was left to become -supporting ty Its own devices and industry. Th* Italians from Tuscany proved to be the best colonists. Their first step was to plant fruit trees around their land. These trees served as a fence ns well as becoming u s uroe of yearly income. The trees were dwarf ed to prevent shading the crops of these thrifty Ita'ians Hardly second to the Italians are the German colo nists. Industry and thrift prevail In their "New Berlin” and the settlement ts a model. They have built a store church, school and a co-operative boarding house for new-comer*. The Poles, also, have proved very satisfac tory colonists. There are more than ”00 In the settlement, end nl are mak ing good. Neither the English nor the Ameri can colonists did as well as the ottwr three nationalities. They have made slower progress, and haxe not shown the self-reliance, energy and thrift of the Italians and Germans. That nature Is a good business part ner these prosperous foreigners have proved, and efforts are now being made by the American Rodetr tor Thrift to bring this fact more forcibly to the minds of American people. THE ELDER SISTER. "She hesitated s long while. I won der how she finally came to decide to take the mntrtmona] plunge " "I think her youniter etsters pushed her off the dock, so to speak." THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA 5r IpL TWO LITTLE GIRLS. Oreta and her sister Kdna were sitting by the water watching the waves and looking at a very high mountain on the other side of the water. "1 wonder of that is where the fai ries live and the witches we read about?” said Creta. "I don’t believe in fairies or witches cither," said Enda; those are silly stories in the hooks. I wish there, was nothing in the world but nice things to eat. I don’t like books and pic tures, or stories, either, but i do like things to eat.” “If that is all you want," said a voice, "I will see that you get it. Make your wish and I will grant it." Edna saw standing beside her a dainty-looking little creature with r“ 3 'OH,DEAR,wHY DIP l IA/ISH POR SUCH A SILLY „ $ COUNTRrAS THIS c wings even more dainty than those of the butterflies and in her hand she held a tiny gold stick. Who are you?” asked Edna. "I am the wish fairy,” replied the liny creature. "I don’t, believe in fairies, replied Edna, "but if you can do as you say, I wlsr I lived in ti country where there was nothing but good things to cat.” THEN AND NOW Seventv-nlne years ago today the Lib erty Hell tolled for the last time. On that day It was proclaiming th« nation's grief over the death of Chief Justice John Marshall whoso body was being taken from Philadelphia to Its final rest ing place In Virginia. Huddonly, the tone of the bell changed, became muf fled aa with grief. The bell-ringer hur ried to the tower of the state house. He found a great crack In the side of the hell. In the circumstance many profess ed to see n fitting climax to one of the most Important epochs In the nation's history. Fifty-nine years before the bell had rung out the glad tidings that tha Iteclavatlon of Independence had been signed and adopted this day Its tonguo forever became silent during the funeral services of Chief Justice Marshall, the last of the Signers of ttie Declaration and the last of George Washington’s asso obues Once before the bell bad crack ed Made In England at the order and expense of the Colony of Pennsylvania, It was brought to Philadelphia In 1753 where It was given Its first test frfr tone. The first blow of the clapper made a wide crack In the hell. A Philadelphia firm offered to recast It and rather than wait for Hs return from England the Colonists turned It over to them 'The four<trvmen thought to Increase the sweetness of Its tone by Increasing the proportion of copper, but they deadened the tone eo that It could hardly he heard Again the hell was recast and It proving successful this time It was hung In the state house steeple where for the following elghty-two years Its longue heralded every Important na tional event. SNAPSHOTS —By Barbara Boyd. VENUS AND THE SUFTRAGETTES. "Wasn't tt dreadful tin* way that English suffragette ruined that lovely painting of Venus," sighed the Soulful Woman. "I am afraid Venus hasn't much ehaneo these days with Ruffragettes," replied tho Statistical Lady. "The two do not mix.” "But don't you think that is where the suffragettes make a mistake'.'" protested the Soulful Woman. "Why oan’t we have both beauty and equa l rights?" "I don't think that was the point the suffragette was trying to make." explained the Statistical lady. "I think she wanted to set people to thinking upon the difference between the woman of the past, as typified by Venus a.iid the ono that Is being evol ved today, and to show that the one of the past should be destroyed." "I don't think she'll do it by hack ing Venus." objected the Soulful Wo man. "1 think she ought to make ilie woman of today so pleasing that Just naturally she'll shove Venus aside Venus will be forgotten.” "The suffragette of course thinks the modern woman la an Improvement on Venus. Hut some people you know persist in looking book ward, and you can't make them turn around until you Jerk them*, By hacking Venus and pointing to her improved successor, tlie suffragette sets people to dlecuss- Ing the merits and dement* of the old type of woman and the new. And those who had been blissfully or wil fully unconscious of the fact that there was a new woman turned their heads and took a look at her." "But I think If the new type had combined the qualities of Venus with the good polnta of the suffragette no one would have been unconscious of her." objected the Soulful Woman. "Those looking backward have as un consciously turned their heads to watch the evolution, as the sunflower follows the sun." “But we don't want the Venus type" protested the Statistical lady. “We want to get rtd of the Idle, luxurious Kdna had no sooner finished the hist word t an she found herself in the stiangest place. There was food everywhere. Kdna began to eat. She went from one thing to another until she had e-jteri so mueli she was sleepy, but «h:n lie looked for a place to rest she could find no spot that was not covered wit:i food. In fact, she had been walking on pears and grapes and pies without noticing them. "I can’t help it," she replied at last, "I must go to sleep; I cannot keep awake any longer." She sat down on a big sponge cake, and hiding it nice and soft, she took more from a pile near her and made a lied and soon was asleep. When she awoke she sat up and rubbed he: eyes. “Oh, I thought 1 dreamed it,” .she said, "but here is all the candy i dreamed of and all the cakes and ice cream, too.” Edna be gan eating again until she was so tilled vvith food she could not eat any more. Rut it was not much fun sitting on fruit cake end sponge cake and hav ing nothing to look at but food. “on. dear! why did I wish for such a silly country as this?" she said at last, beginning to cry. “If you have had enough of this country i will take you back to your sister.” said the wish fairy “but be careful how you make wishes after this; it may get you into trouble again.” "1 will never wish anything so silly as this again. I promise you," said Kdna, "and I will read the books that tell about you and the witches, and never say [ do not believe in you, either.’’ "All little girls believe is us," said the fairy. “I will take you back to your sister now, and while you may never again see a fairy or any of our family, you can read about tt3 in books and dream as your sister does as she looks over the water to the high mountain —of what may be on the other side in the happy land of childhood’s dreams.” Kdna left someone shake her arm, and opening her eyes she saw her sis ter beside her. "Wake up,’’ she was saving;” it is time to go home." (Copyright, 1914, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate, New York City.) Tomorrow’s story—“ The Girl That Loitered.” Today Liberty Bell lies In state in the state house In Philadelphia where Its first rlnrlon peal of llherty rang out. It Is one of the nation s most revered relics and every year thousands of pil grims from all parts of the country visit this shrine. Before It was plaoed in Its present glass ease one might often see distinguished men, women and pa triotic school children put out their hands to touch the sacred Vellc. It was with a similar feeling that President Taft once vilsted It, and after gazing at it for some moments earnestly exclaim ed: “I would love to just lay my hand upon the bell!” His wish was readily granted, the guide having the case open ed for the distinguished visitor six times has the venerable hell been car ried to distant cities to take part In an niversaries and exhibitions. Ninety thou sand school children successfully appeal ed to the governor of Pennsylvania to have It sent to the St. Louis Expos.tlon. During the anniversary of the Ra-t'e of Bunker Hill It was escorted through the streets of Boston by the Ancleot and Honorable Artillery Company, Itself a relic of the Revolutionary times. It w:s adorned with wreaths, and the specta tors. many of them being women kissed Its brazen sides with reverence. I has journeyed Into the South three times to New Orleans. Atlanta, and Chatt-ston. Two months ago It was reported that the crack In the bell Is gradually becoming larger, and special precautions have been taken to preserve the bell for <he future generations. woman content to he a parasite or a dolt." "Keep hor loveliness and charm." argued the Soulful Woman,” and re place the undesirable qualities with with the force and ability and Initia tive anti all the other good points the suffragettes have. Arid then you'll have a combination that will prove Ir resistible. Seems to me if the suf fragette who hacked the Venus had acquired some of the charme ehe was so eager to destroy, sho could have won people to her cause much more quickly and In much greater numbers than by using the hatchet." "But you don't understand," protest ed the Statistical lady, somewhat hopelessly. "We do not want to win people to our cause by our charm, but by the Justice of the cause." "But is justice any the less Justice whore it is pleasing and gracious than when tt goes out with n hatchet ready to smash all who do not agree with It?" The Statistical I-ady looked at the BoulfUl Woman In despair. "I fear you do not understand the fundamen tals of our movement," she sighed "Tou have a lot of the Venus in you yet." "And I am going to hang on to it, too," laughed the Boulful Woman. "Don't count on me to help you until you dispense with hatchets." barba n a bo Yd. NOT ENOUGH TO GO ’ROUND.
