OLD ZIMMERHAC’K‘EE’S PHILOSOPHY.
My son, there isjust one. thing you
can do that nobody else can, and that
is to make a man of yourself .\’n one”
can do it for you.
It would surprise some of these peo-
ple who only talk to hear themselves,
if they would attach a cyclometer to
their jaw for half a day.
If‘some people knew what others
said about them they would never
sleep a wink; some from pride, and
, others from rage and chagrin.
Where is the man who wouldn’t give
half he is worth to be able to get away
withe‘peanuts and green apples with as
little discomfort as he did when a
growing boy?
There goes a busy fellow. He is a
ball player and a tenor singer, so it is
base ball six days and a tenor bawl
the seventh. " ‘
This is the season when the average
editor lays his shears and glue-pot on
the copy pad, and bids them edit his
paper until he returns, which they do
without giving the proper credit to the
paper from which they clipped.
'A Lima man dislocated his shoulder
by turning ‘over in bed. Served him
right. Let him he still. Why not do
his turning over before he gets into
bed. A man should go to bed to sleep,
not to practice acrobatic feats, and
perfect himself for the circus ring. It
is all right for a man to “turn in” to
bed, but “turn-overs” and “flip-flaps"
after he is in bed are entirely out of
place, and before his shoulder gets well
this Lima man will probably coincide
with our view of the case.
The green apple crop and the small
boy are now trying to settle- their old
scores. The boy gets in his work day-
times, and the apple does nights.
apple always gets knocked out, and
sometimes the boy does. The battle
has raged at intervals since the dawn
of history, and there is no prospect of
a cessation. The boy has some power-
ful allies now in the shape of colic
cure, ginger tonic, etc., but still the lit-
tle apple manages to hold the fort in
good shape. It will have to be a mat-
ter of arbitration if the war is ever
brought to a close, for the apple will
never give up and we all know by ex-
perience that the boy won’t—Dans-

HENRY w. GRADY’S Successes.
Frank L. Stanton Who Sings of Sunshine
and the Brotherhood of Man.
In the office of the Atlanta Constitu-
tion no eifete luxuries conspire to weak.
en the temper of journalists. Stern
simplicity is the rule, and a loyal re-
spect for the institutions of'the past,
even to the dust which had gathered
upon them.
installing themselves in new offices,
adorned with the glory of mosaics and
frescoes and precious woods and
wrought iron, but this Southern news
paper feels a conseruative scorn for
such splendors, and turns out craters,
story tellers, poets, from dons which
modern art would not dare to desecrate.
I invaded one Of these dens in search
of a poet, remembering, as I passed
along the hall, that Henry W. Grady
had lived and wrought here, and that
Joel Chandler Harris still gives here to
journalism the hours not sacred to
literature. I found Frank L. Stanton
in front of a desk in a room not more
time honored than the rest, adorned
with wall paper not more reminiscent
of bygone taste. . The desk was heaped
with papers in every stage from manu-
script to the printed sheet, and every
pigeonhole 'was doing it full share of
duty. ‘ '
“Oh, yes,” said Mr. Stanton, turning
from the Clearing where he had been at
work, ”there's no hope for anything
which once gets caught in here. I put
aclipping away to remember or refer
to, knowing in the bottom of my heart
that if it ever should be wanted I could
not find it. And then once in a. few
months I get a fit of impatience, sweep
everything that comes to the sur-
foce into the waste paper basket, and
begin afresh.”
It was a dark, strong looking man
who faced me, with touches of gray in
the mustache and heavy hair; manifest-
ly a democrat, ready to meet any kind
of creature on‘equal terms, from a street
dog to a lady manager. Not so mani-
festly a Southerner, by token of voice
and manner, {so I questioned him on
that point.
“Yes, I belong down here,” he an-
swered. “I have thought sometimes of
trying life in Chicago, but [could never
stand those cold winters,” and the poet
screwed up his expressive face rinto a
hard knot of disgust. “I should freeze
into a monumental icicle.”
Fearing that his face might freeze in-
to its present expression, I recalled him
to summer thoughts. This time it was
his art we talked of, and he gave the
subject a. laugh.
“Oh, yes, I have a fatal facility. If
facility counted for anything I should
be a great poet, for the rhymes string
off as fast as I can talk. But most of
such verse is merely journalism—writ—
ten for to-day and gone to-morrow, It
is only now and then that one comes to
me which may be worth putting in a
book.’
,He told of. amusing experiences with
better writers. One young gentleman
in Michigan, for example, had added to
one of Stanton’s poems the compliment
of his own signature, and sent it to the
Constitution for publication. Another
had offered to sell him subjects and even
rhymes for a. small consideration. He
explained the circumstances under
which he wrote the ode for the dedica-
tion of the Atlanta Exposition.
“The day before the show to open
some of those fellows came to me and
said they wanted an ode. I told them I
couldn’t write anything in so short a
time, but they said I must, so I went to
work that night and reeled off something
—I hardly knew what.”
I drew a long breath of wonder. These
Southern directors were as bold as those
in Chicago, who, during the autumn of
1890, ordered the consulting architect of
the Columbian Exposition to present
"completed plans and specifications”
within 24 hours. Poetry and the arts
must move at railroad speed to keep up
with the modern procession.
Brice’s Early Financiering.
An old gentleman from Springfield,
Ohio, stopping at the Gibson the other
night, told a story about Senator Brice,
which, although it is not attested, is
still somewhat characteristic of the
great financier.
“When Brice was a boy,” said he,
“he got possession of a. small toy ship,
which he used to sail on a duck pond in
the barnyard. One day a little neigh-
bor boy came along with a. splendid new
knife, that must have cost about $2.
Brice coveted the knife, and after the
boy left began to figure on a trade. He
told one of the family that he thought
)f offering the neighbor boy his ship for
the knife.
" ‘Don't do that, Cal,’ said his con-
fidant. ‘Your ship is not worth half
what the knife is worth.’
“ ‘I can’t help that,’ said Calvin, ‘for
i must have that knife.’
“In a. day or so, young Brice turned
up with the knife, 3. fine sled and a
:lozen marbles, all of which he had got
or exchange for the ship. The next day
the sled was gone, but he had the ship
oack, and rejoiced in the possession of
00th the knife and the ship. _
“The next day his marbles were gone,
out he had the sled back, and now own-
ed the sled, the ship and the valuable
knife. The next day he had the mar-
pies back. but- was letting the neighbor
boy coast a little on his sled, as it had
snowed during the night, while he was
the proud possessor of the ship, the
sled, the knife and the beautiful glass
narbles~and yet some people wonder
why some men grow richer while others
:ontinue to get poorer and poorer.”—

The Reason.
Visitor—Why is it that while a law-
rer in a court room may call a man a
iar, scoundrel, thief and so on, nothing
:omes of it afterward, but if a newspaper
prints such a reflection on a man ’5 char-
rcter, there is a libel suit or a dead
editor. '
Able Editor—It is because the public
relieves what an editor says, but passes
wer the utterances of a. lawyer as un-
worthy of attention.

HE USED ONLY ONE MATCH.
When Robbie Heard that God Knew Who
Burned the Barn He Confessed.
A barn and ice house belonging to
E. Miller, a farmer, near Hartland,
Conn., were destroyed by fire. There
was much mystery as to the origin of
the fire. It was believed at first that
tramps in the neighborhood bad start-
de the blaze.
During the discussion, Robert, the
seven-year-old son of Farmer Miller,
was very restless; He had some sug-
gestions to make himself, and showed
so much concern that attention was
attracted to him. His face grew very
pale, and he appeared anxious to re-
tire from the investigation when ques-
tioned as to his knoWledge of the fire.
“Did you start it, Robbie?” his fa-
ther asked. ,
“No, sir,‘ faltered the boy, “I didn't
know anything about it_until I saw
the barn on fire.”
The boy refused to play with the
youngsters in the neighborhood that
afternoon, and seemed worried. When
his father spoke of the awful trouble
that would come to those who started
the fire Robert was silent. He did not
eat his supper at night, and went to
bed very early.
He knelt at his mother’s .knee and
said his childish prayers with more
sol'e'innity than usual. When his
mother spoke of the fire, and said that
the house, and perhaps all the family,
would have been burned but for the
hard work of the neighbors, Robert
began to cry.
A few minutes later, after he was
tucked away in bed for the night,
Robert called to his mother.
“Mamma,” he cried, “did God see
who burned the barn?”
“Yes,” his mother said.
The boy sobbed for a few minutes,
and then whispered:
“Mamma, I only used one match”
THE LEOPARD KILLED.
A Cow Successfully Protects Her Offspring
from Its Attack.
A man who has spent much time
in the observation of the ways and
habits of the wilder sorts of animals
tells the following curious story of
the audacity of a leopard which paid
a visit by night to the cattle—shed of
a blacksmith:
'A native cow had a calf. This be-
ing her firstborn, the mother was ex-
ceedingly vicious, and- it was unsafe
for a stranger to approach her, es-
pecially as her horns were long and
pointed.
The cattle-shed was scooped out of
the hill-side, and within a few feet
of the blacksmith’s house. The roof
was thatched. During the night a
leopard, which smelt the presence of
the cow and calf, mounted the roof
of the shed, and began to force an en-
trance by scratching through the
thla-tch.
The cow at the same time detected
the presence of the leopard, and,,ever
mindful of her calf, stood ready to
receive the intruder. It is supposed
that upon the leopard’s descent it was
at once pinned 'to the ground before
it had time to make its spring.
The noise of a tremendous struggle
aroused the blacksmith, who, with
lantern in his hand, opened the cattle-
shed door and discovered the cow in
a frantic state, butting and tossing to
and fro some large object, which evi-
dently blad lost all power of resist-
ance. This was the leopard in the
last gasp. The “big cat” had been run
through the body by the horns of
the courageous mother, whose little
calf was nestled in a corner, unheed-
ing the struggle of its brave mother.
Cork Does Not Come from Ireland.
Cork is brought from Spain by ves-
sels which return with grain, and
thus diminish the price of‘ transporta-
tion. The corkwood is put up in bales
weighing from 150 pounds to 160
pounds. The pieces are cut varying
from a half inch to two and a half
inches in thickness. The stripping
of the trees takes place in July and
“August. Two cuts are made around
the stem, one a little above the ground
' and the other immediately under the
spring of the main branches. Then
four longitudinal incisions are made,
the utmost care being taken not to in-
jure the inner bark. The cork is after-
wards removed in the Sections into
which it is cut by inserting under it
the wedge-shaped handles of the in-
struments used in making the incis-
ions. After the outer surface has been
scraped and cleaned the pieces are
flattened by heating them over a fire
and submitting them to pressure on a
flat surface.
Arm-tune Awaits the Inventor.
It is a terrible trial to sit in church
on a hot Sunday morning and be kept
awake by the flies crawling on your
neck and ears and nose, isn’t it? Om.
can get used to the preacher’s voice
if
so that it will lull him to sleep, but’
who can stand it to have flies hold
their green corn dances over him in a
place where he is supposd to sit still
and behave himself? A fortune awaits
the man who will invent a method of
keeping flies out of churches and let-
ting fresh air in.—Dansville Breeze.
