A few yearn ago the Time* Dis
patch asked Polk Miller for an auto
blographhal sketch, which he wrot?
and which ho com<:1u<1<jU with his
f.ivorltu theme hunting. TIioho
who knew Mr. Miller and "loafed"
in hi* drug store are familiar with
his philosophy and have heard hlni
on the Joy a of the field.
Here Is what he wrote for the
Richmond newspaper:
"1 wuh always fond of hunting,
and an a hoy 1 owned every kind of
hunting dog, from a hobtailed, bench
legged fice up to the moHt approv
ed breed of foxhounds, setters and
pointers. My coming to the city, did
not quench the deulre 1 hu<l for field
HportH, ult hough the average old
business man, if rained 4u town,
wouldn't have a man in IiI.h employ
ment who hunted. If he found out
that ho was fond of the HportH of
the field he would Hay "that fel- I
Iow'h ho 'count.'
Such man had no Idea of tho In- |
vlgoratlng effect* of a tramp thru
the fleldn and - forests, and having
Ho aim in life beyond that of mak
ing money, sp<*Ht ail of h Ih time at
IiIh dtrnk lu the cpuntlng-roolfn. He
walke<I from h Ih home to h Ih office
and back again, and lived on medl
c lie and foods which are recommend
ed for dyHpepHla. He couldn't wee
that he wuh killing himself daily
by confinement, and couldn't nee
how any sensible man eould want<?
any time in hunting. in ol<l tlnieH
there were ho many men like t li Ih
In' our business 'community thai I
alwayH left town before business
hours and sneaked back after <lark,
when 'old money bags' had goilt*
hptuo. If one of these ol<l codgers
was on tho board of directors In a
hank and a note was handed In for
discount by a man who was fond of
hunting, ho would be very apt to
say; 'That fellow'8 no 'count; he
hunts.'
"No doubt I have squandered
many a dollar in following the dogs
in the flfld, but when I think oT
the robust health which 1 enjoy,
and the many little vices which
might have come to me bad I not
made this my only recreation, I have
no regrets. What a change hart
come over our people in the lant 2 5
years! The doctors tell their pa
tients that medicine is not what they
want, but go out with u dog and
gun and cure the Ills which medi
cine will not reach. Tho schools are
teaching athletic sports, and the fel
low who carries the gun doesn't kill
as many of his fellow men as the
football 1st does.
"The green town boys are sent off
to country schools to learn some
thing of nature, where they can see
at <mery turn the handiwork of the
God who created all things, and wor
ship nature until ho becomqp nat
ural himself, Instead of the artificial
creature that he Ih from having
grown ui> surrounded on all sl'des
by the work of man's creation.

J lines Wbitcomb Riley of the South,

Your correspondent "L. C. C."
writing about the time of the Ker
shaw Annotation being largely
taken up by the visitors, thereby
cutting out bo much of the home
talent. Wish to say in reply that
both viHitora and delegates aro
fully competent to discuss the ques
tions that come before the body, and
In order to accomodate all, the ses
sions of the body should run throug
three days, then all can have their
say. Two days is entirely too short
for the meeting.
No doubt your readers have no
ticed how nicely President Wilson
has handled the delicate Mexican
question without involving this coun
try in a war with that nation, but
the time Is near unless a radical,
change, that Intervention by the
United States will bo a necessity to
insure peace. A country that can't
govern itself ought to be governed'
by a wiser and hotter people. The
Mexican people have shown their In
capacity to govern, for they certain
ly don't recognise a constitutional
form of government, and a nation
that acts that way should be shorn
of all power until they learn what
a constitutional government Is and
and learn to practice it. A quarrel
some neighbor nearby will soon in
volve you In a fuss and that is what
I Mexico will soon do for us.

Little Anna was visiting the city for
the first time. Sho had noticed the
beautiful red, and white swan^ boats
as they passed through the park In the
morning, and her aunt had promised
that after the shopping' was done they
should come back and have a ride.
Early In the afternoon they returned
and stood on the bridge over the la
goon, watching the boats below and
listening to the cry of the faarker as
he tried to induce the passers by to
patronize the swan l>oats.
Anna clutched her aunt'a hand tight
ly as she moved toward the landing
and declared vehemently that she did
not want to go.. Her aunt was puzzled
until she noticed the boatman's call:
"Come one, como all! Itlde clenr.
