Copi/riuM, 1000, hu John Uoyd I lathe. DOTTED over the great grain prairies of upper Minnesota nru many little communities of unpalntcd plank cottages or even of "soil" houses whose Inhab itants possess more of the characterls tlcs of the old time Yankee thiiu the present occupants of our New England homesteads. And the reason for this it? plain. These western Yankees au> lineal descendants of our best Puritan stock and In migrating to their prairie homes from the rugged New England hill farms took the peculiarities and homely virtues of their ancestors with them. Boston "culture" has been 111 tered over tho New England farm steads, nnd the old time Yankee or the old fashioned Yankee community Is an Impossibility In tho east. But these westerners display tho In dustry ami frugality of their ancestors. They are a hardworking people whose pleasures come laboriously. For eight months In tin' year It Is a tug with na ture for the necessities and a few of the luxuries of life. The other four months they are snow bound. It Is In this season, when the snow mantles the prairies ami the Ice king fetters the water courses, however, that tho Minnesota boys ami girls Und most of their pleasures. It Is In winter that "school keeps," and some of the pupils are well grown youths ami maidens. There Is llttlo time for education durlug the rest of tho year, ami the ambitious are not ashamed to show their anxiety for "book learning." Tin- sehoolhouse, usu ally lu tho center of the widely scat tered community. Is the headquarters for all junketings and frolics. If the schoolmaster happens to bo musically Inclined, bo much tho better. There is at once a singing school established for one evening lu the week. Several years ago In a community of this kind known as Sassafras Bottoms the young people formed a singing club which met at the sehoolhouse on Fri day evenings. The people of the Bot toms made up a typical Mlnuesotlan community- there were none very rich and few very poor. The young people had all met each other In the common school, that great leveler of class dis tinction, nnd there were few cliques. There was one family, a recent ac quisition to the Bottoms, which wus rather an exception to this, however. They bad lived some years down St. Paul way In a much more thickly set tled part of the state nnd were Inclined to look down a little upon their new neighbors. Especially was this true of the son and daughter. Hiram Ball was a little spick and span fellow, with dark complexion ami eyes and hair as black ns coal. He was very gallant with the Indies and was Inclined to snub some of the boys in a way which they could not resent excepting in their hearts. His sister Mira was a pretty little brunette, but she, like her brother, had such an exalted opinion of her own importance that she was not very popular. In fact, the coming Of the Balls to Sassafras Bottoms was the sowing of di scord in the social life of the community. The winter of which I write began With a good fall of snow the day be fore Thanksgiving, and at once tho boys got out their sleighs nnd planned to take the girls to ride. There were all sorts and conditions of sleighs, from the wood sled with a carrlago seat affixed and the ordinary "pung" to Phil Dennett's old fashioned "high back." Phil Dennett was the acknowl edged leader among the young fellows of tho Bottoms, and It was considered something of an honor among the girls to be Invited to share bis slelgl) to nnd from singing school. Tho old highback, a huge box affair which had often held a merry party of six quite comfortably, was an Institution In the Dennett fam ily. It had belonged to Phil's great uncle, nnd Phil patched and painted It every fall with a sort of veneration. Phil was a merry, good tempered fel low, and, as I have hinted, the girls of his acquaintance were glad to go sleighing with him. But for two or three winters past there had been few er frolics lu the old highback. Phil had seemed to prefer taking oho young lady at a time, ami that fortunate per son was always the same?the doctor's daughter, Myrtle Kemp. Other girls who may have secretly "set their caps" at the big, good natured young farmer bad to turu their eyes elsewhere per force. Hiram Ball happened to pass tho Dennett placo the morning after tho first snowfall and saw Phil's box sleigh In tho yard. "Hello, Dennett!" he exclaimed. "Where'd you get that ark?" "Don't you like the looks of It?" quelled Phil coolly. "It looks like a relic of the mound builders," said HI, with n laugh. "Don't s'pose your sister would caro to go sleighing with me, eh?" respond ed Phil. "Well, hardly In that thing." "All right; I shan't ask her, then." "Pay, you don't really mean to sajr Thk Mormon Tabernacle-?A \ visitor to Salt Lake City describes the great Mormon Tabernacle and its fa mous choir of ?OO voices as follows: To the stranger in Zion this taber nacle is a constant source of wonder. From the outside the. immense build ing with its curved roof looks liko a giant, sleeping turtle; within, a ceil ing without visible support other than the walls, arches over seats enough to acconimodato 1.'1,000 pcoplo comfort ably. It is a marvel of engineering and architecture, and tho idea was evolved from the fertile brain of Brlgham Young. The acoustics of the atrucluro are unequalled, and no i prllgrim in this land of the Latter-day ^Saints can forgot tho experience of that you'd ask a ?Irl lo go to ride \vl(Ti you in that?" demanded hi conflden-1 tlally. riiii looked at ititu calmly, but with a spark of lire in bis eyo. "if you wait till Friday night, you'll boo the nicest girl in these bottoms riding lu It," ho said. ?'Myrtle Kemp, I mean." The sliot told, for It was an open se eret that I'liil was not the only fellow who worshiped at the shrlno of the doctor's daughter. Myrtle Kemp uns almost the only girl In the neighborhood whom Miss Ball put herself out to become friendly with, and It was whispered that that was entirely for her brother's sake. Most of the young men of the Bottoms had loug since decided that Phil had outclassed them in Myrtle's favor, but [I Ira 111 Ball was bound by no such be lief, in truth, although IMlll had made ni> his mind regarding Myrtle, he was not at all sure that she had made up her mind regarding him, and the poor fellow it it 1 not dare risk coming to the issue with the doctor's daughter. Most of the boys were too busy mak ing all secure about ihe farmsteads for the winter (that first fall of snow had come a little unexpectedly) to do much sleighing previous to the ulght of the singing club, The heavy wagons and WOOd sleds had by that time beaten a very lair path in the snow, l'hil had not seen Myrtle, but It was quite un derstood between them that he was al ways to stop for her on his way to the Bchoolhouse. The day before, Th?rs? day. Homebody told him In the store thai Hi Ball had not a new sleigh. ? Ii s coiih up on the last trip of the rlyer steamer come 'way from St. Paul," said his informant. "An the say it's a hummer. All red an yalier an silver bells on to the shafts. He'll cut some of you boys out with the ?als this whiter." l'hil scarcely thought this able, howev. r. Hi was most unpopular with the boys and was hardly liked by the girls despite his gallantry. But Phil ! had yet to learn that the glitter of gilt is often mistaken for the gleam of pure gold. He harnessed his best horse into the box sleigh at the usual time and set out for the doctor's house, fur up the read. Blowing oul of a side lane which led to the Ball farm. I hero was a Hash of red and yellow. I' was Hiram's new sleigh, and behind 11 rum's pacer it quickly disappeared Olli Phil's sight. He jogged along moderately. There was plenty of time before the singing school began. When ho reached the doctor's front gate, he noticed that a sleigh had slop ped there before llllll, for he could see the tracks, but he siili hail no sus picion of the disuppeiutment which awaited him. The Jolly little doctor met. him at the porch door. "You're too late, Phil!" he exclaim* ed. Iiiughing in his usual boisterous manner. "Myrt's gone." ' Hey:" drawled the astouished Phil. "She ain't gone alone?" "Bless you. no!" cried the doctor. "Hiram Ball Just came lu his new Blclgll and took her. I tell you what, Phil, Hi's going to cut all you hoys out With t hat new cutter of ids." Phil climbed back into the old high back and drove away without a worth lie was dazed and bitterly disappoint ed. He was half minded to turn back 'You're too lato, Phill" he exclaimed. "Myrt's yo/ic." and not go to the schoolhou.-;" at all. But then, pride coming to ills rescue, he would not do that. He thought once of going around by some other girl's house and "spiteing" Myrtle in that way. But I'liil was first of all just. There might be a mistake. Myrtle might have thought ho was not coin ing. Perhaps she had been told he was not. He believed HI thoroughly un scrupulous. So ho drove on alone to the schoolhouso and hitched Black Boh to the rail beside Ill's handsome new turnout. It was a pretty cutter rath er too light for country travel?and ho could scarcely blame any girl for want ing to ride lu It. The other fellows had gathered around and "thought" many things when I Mill drove up alone, but nobody cared to chaff the big fellow. A mas tiff Is usually good natiired, but there are some liberties that even a mastiff will not allow. The boys and girls seldom sat with each other- unless it was n well under stood fact that they were engaged? and Myrtle was in the midst of a bevy of chattering friends when l'hil enter ed. She seemed to talk all the faster as he appeared, and an unmistakable blush arose to her cheek. Secretly the doctor's daughter knew she had treat ed her old friend meanly. l'hil calmly took ids seat, but before the evening was over he found an op portunity to speak a moment with Myrtie In private. "Will yon ride home with me, Myr tle?" lie nsked. "Oh, I must go back with Mr. Ball," ?be said nervously. "1 liavo prom ised." "You knew I was coming for you," lie said quietly. "Will you go hack with moV" "I'll he glad to come with you next week, Phil," She said. "I don't want you next week," ho said, flashing lire. "1 want you to night." "Very well.

In ten years of lovablo leadership Prof. Pvan Stephens has brought his r?00 or moro singers as near to the ideal as is humanly possible. Thoir singing is indescribable It combines tho fervor of tho religionist with tho art of tho trained musician. It Is a labor of love with them and a religious duty, for no The red nnd yellow cutter stopped nt' the doctor's gate the next Friday night. Phil's highback went around by the other road. There was nothing more said by either; neither could their ' friends pump anything' regarding the estrangement out <>r them. And EHrnui Ball, wisely, sealed his own lips nba>. Phil did not miss a session otWhe einging club, lie seldom called former drove any of the girls home. If he j did, It was always somebody who oth erwise would have been ueglected. He ! told himself that Myrtle should BOO he was no weathercock. And, in truth, If he could not have the girl of his choice he wanted none at all. The winter drew toward spring. There had beim a thaw in Februar?' which almost spoiled tho sleighing, but when It grew cold again the hard pack ed snow froze solid, and the runners fairly hummed over the mads. The wiseacres, too, declared that the win ter was by no means over. There was a big storm due. and the longer it de layed the more severe It would prove when It finally came. One Friday late in the month the snowbank* began to pile up around the horizon, and the farmers hastened to get their sheep into the folds and make all secure for the night. There was little wind, however, and the Storm grew slowly. Phil was late at the sluging club that night. It was Well under way when he entered, and as be came in be brought with him a BUddcn c<>id blast of wind. The first flakes of the coining storm sparkled on bis bearskin coat. "You bad better close early, Mr. Ihn ery," he whispered to the master as he passed to a seat. "There is going to be a heavy gale." But It Is bard to break up a merry party of young people. 'The line snow sifted down about the sehoolhouse and packed hard over the door stone. Had they been without they would have heard now and then the snapping of the overladen branches of the forest trees behind tl i building. The school house stood upon the verge of a wood. By the tint" tho session broke up the wind had risen and was moaning angrily through the forest. It swept the snow fiercely into their faces as they breasted It too. It was astonish ing how much had already fallen. Everybody but Phil and the master hurried to get away. 'The latter lived at the nearest farmhouse?almost with In stone's throw of tho school?and Phil had n question or two in algebra he wanted explained. Although the young fanner did not attend the regu lar sessions of the school, he neverthe less spent his evenings at home in studying such books as be bad pre viously bad no opportunity of dipping Into. "Come, Phil, you'd best hurry along yourself," said Mr. Emery, going to the door nnd receiving the full strength of the gale in his face. "Why, it's a bliz zard!" "I'll see you home first," said Phil, laughing. "Black Bob is the best horse in a storm in the Bottoms. I shall get home all right." TllOV dug out the old box sleigh ami backed the big black out of the horse shed. The others were already on! of sight and hearing. Phil and the mas ter tumbled Into the sleigh, ami Black Bob quickly drew them through the fust drifting snow to tin; master's abode. "You'd better spend the night here. Phil," said Mr. Emery. "Nonsense!" responded the young fel low, with a laugh. "Well, you've a good horse ami just the sort of it sleigh for the storm. 'The wind will ho behind you most of the way too. 'That light cutter of Ball's will fare hard tonight." The teacher's last sentence repented Itself over and over in Phil's mind as he drove toward home. Perhaps that was why he turned Into the road which passed the doctor's hotISC instead of taking the mot'C direct route home. Black Boi. breasted the sm>w nobly and responded to Phil s verbal encour agemeut without his recourse to the whip, ami he was almost past the doc tor's before ho knew it. lie could not see the house the driving snow hid that- but he recognized the big black gum In the fence corner. Hi ami Myr tle must have got nlong before, At least be had not passed them on the road. "(let up, old boy!" said Phil. '"They'll keep him all night, so he's in no dan ger. If he Is, it Isn't any of our busi ncs8." Fifteen minutes later Black Bob sud denl.v stopped of his own accord. "Well, what's up now'.'" demanded Phil In wonder. The old farm horse whinnied loudly, ami borne to Phil's ears lu reply faintly yet certainly was the. whinny of another horse. "By George, It's a horse!" cried Phi) He stood up and listened. 'The whinny was repeated, and added to it were the tones of a human voice. "It's somebody off the toad." thought Phil. "And dollars to doughnuts It's that fool. Ball!" Bid as much as ho bated Hiram be could scarcely leave him unassisted in such a storm as this. 'The road ran through an tin fenced prairie. It was very easy indeed to get off tho trnck. Phil pulled Black Bob out of the road nnd urged him through the drifts in the direction of the cries of distress. The snow swirled about them In n mighty shroud. He recognized the ' risk he took In leaving tho trail, but what else could be do? lie shouted as Black Bob pressed on, but the voices in front seemed to re cede. It was ten minutes or more ere he enme In sight of n mistily outlined object In the snow?a horse and cutter half burled in the drifts. > Phil burst out nt once. "What the dickens did you want to run away from me for?" he yelled. "Hey there! Do you hear inc. Bnll? Cnn you turn your horse around?" But It was not Ill's voice that re plied. Instead somebody cried, and In a voice of almost rapture: "Thank Cod, It Is Phil!" Phil was otd of the sleigh nnd had struggled through the snow to the cut ter lu an Instant. "In heaven's name, how came you here, Myrtle?" he gasp ed. Hiram was h iddied upon the seat by the girl's side, speechless from cold nnd fright. "Oh. Phil," she riled, "is It really you? Can you sin c us? We went by the house, t guess- It stormed so we member of this choir is paid for his or her services.

Ban tho The Kind,You Have Always Bought did not know it." "I reckon you did g<> by tbo bouse!" exclaimed Phil. "And you're a long way olY tbo road now. I've been fol lowing you for i? minutes. Black Bob beard your borso Bqueallng or i should have passed rigid by without being any t he \\ iser." "What shall we do?" demanded the girl. "We can't turn this sloi {h around. rl hor?e is almost played ? ut." "What's tiux matter with ' Im?" ask ed Phil, Pointing - ? the sile.lt Hi. "He's half fro/ell." "And he's got more than half of the robes, too!" said Phil in disgust. "He needs them more than I do," apologized Myrtle. "You won't leave him here to freeze?" she added, in sud den terror. "That's just like a woman when sin loves a man," thought poor l'hil. "Al "What arc you dolny, Dcnnetlt" hcoricd. ways thinks of him first." Aloud he said: "We're none of US going to freeze if I can help it. Sit where you are until I unhitch your horse. We might as well give him a chance for his life." When lie began to do this, however, Hiram aroused himself. "What are you doing. Dennett?" lie cried, "if you let the horse loose, we're lost!" He seized the w hip and tried to reach l'hil w ith It The horse began to plunge. Phil sprang forward and caught the whip from the other's hand. "Keep quiet," he said Sternly, "or I'll warm you with this lasli myself." Hiram fell back and swore. Myrtle Shrank away from him, hut l'hil did not see her. He had turned his atten tion to the restive horse again and soon bad him fit". "I'm afraid," he said gravely, "that we cannot get out of hero til', it stops allowing. I am golug to unhitch Black Bob, ami wo will all come back into my sleigh." "I'm going to stay here," growled Hiram. "We'll do whatever you say, Phil," declared Myrtle. I'liil loosened Black Boh from the Shafts, and the two horses plunged away Into the storm. Then, after vast labor, lie partially cleared away a snow bank and turned the huge, old fashion ed highhack over. It would have shel tered half a dozen quite comfortably. "Come back here now," he shouted to the couple half buried In the smaller sleigh. The girl struggled out, hut Hirum re fused to move. "Stay there, then, and be a denied fool!" l'hil exclaimed Wrathfully, ami he half carried Myrtle to the overhanging sleigh nud placed her among the warm rubes. "You will not let him stay there to freeze to death," she whispered plead ingly. "Make him come." "All right." responded l'hil bitterly and went back and drove Iliram out of the cutter, secured all the robes and made him Join Myrtle under the high hack. Then the brave fellow crawled in himself and let tho box sleigh settle down about them, in a few minutes they were buried by tin? driving snow. "We must gi't Myrtle between us," said l'hil. "She will bo wanner there. If this old blizzard doesn't last too long, somebody will lie along to dig us out tomorrow." Ball yielded the wanner position to the girl with a very 111 grace. The common metal underneath the gilt was showing very plainly. Myrtle turned tier back upon him completely. She and l'hil spoke together only in whis pers. "Dear Phil," she said, "we should have died had you not come." "Humph! The old highhack Is good for something at a pinch," remarked l'hil, with pardonable maliciousness. "And old friends prove the most faithful in the end," whispered the doc tor's daughter. l'hil simply grunted. But when, a moment later, he found she was softly crying, with her nose buried in ifio collar of Ids bearskin coat, he threw Injured pride to the winds and Just put his arms around her. What he said and what she said after that was none of 11 Irani Ball's business, nor is It any of yours. Inquisitive reader. In the morning, when tho storm had censed, a searching party discovered tho horses in a little grove oIT the trail. Where they had taken shelter, and soon Afterward found the overturned sleigh and the three castaways all warm and secure. Hiram Ball left ids useless cutter where It lay, but l'hil dug out tho old highhack and drove? Myrtle home In it, and when the sleighing was good the next whiter he brought the doctor's daughter to singing school as his wife. , . ?There is a great deal of talk about the necessity for some change in tho tax laws so as to secure a more equitable distribution of the burden of taxation.

Sec 7. That all ac'.s and parts of acts inconsistent with this act be and the Bame are hereby repealed. Mr, Thomas IS quoted as follows In the daily newspapers iu regard to the meas ure which was introduced by him and which is known to have tho hearty ou dorscmont of Mr. McMahan : When asked for some explanation of bis bill relating to public education. Mr. John P. Thomas, Jr, stated that the main object of the bill is the improve ment Ol the country schools. Ho said that since the beginning of the last ecu lury it had become a recognized i axim in OVciy civilized country of the world that expert supervision of public schools is absolutely essential to their successful conduct. This princip e is recognized as a fundamental proposition by everybody interested in education throughout this I entire country. Mr. Thomas further said i that Ulis principle has been recognized as the true principle of education in South Carolina in its cities and towns during the past fifteen years and ever since the establishment of special school districts in this State A graded school in a special school district really means that it is a school directed and managed by an expert, trained and educated for I the purpose. I Ho said that the main object of his bill is to put Hie people in tho country on an equal footing with tho people in the cities and towns If expert school supervision is absolutely necessary for city schools and this necessity univer Baby recognized throughout the whole civilized world, llion why, said Mr. ThOtttaS, is not this same intelligent su pervision necessary for country schools? I No ono would think lor a moment of trying to make clolli or to manage a bank without the supervision of persons trained in the business of manufacturing or banking. Vet some people seem lo think that any person, irrespective of ids training or attainments, is lit to direct tho training of tho tender minds of tho children of our State, which la admitted to bo a work requiring a trained intelli gence great discretion and tact and deli eaoy of administration. It is submitted, says Mr Thomas, that these ipia lllua lions cannot be secured iu a school su penntenden' where (I) tho Choice is by popular election, (2) the tenure of ofllce is short or uncertain, or (lij the salary is Inadequate The bill proposes to carry out the ob ject in view by providing for a county board of education, consisting of five members, to be elected at tho general election, two members to be elected ovory two years, tho board to have tho right to employ a superintendent of schools, who must boa man ski lud in the art and scionco of teaching and of school management, who shall supervise all the schools of tho county, instruct tho teachers, counsel the trustees, and serve as secretary of the board. The bill leavis tho compensation of this superintendent of schools to the county hoard While tho bill takes away from the peop'S tho election of tho superintend ent, it places in their hands the election of Ovo additional ofllcors. It may bo said that ono man, Whether expert or not, could not intolligemly s 1 porviso such a la/go number of schools as would necessarily fall undor his juris diction. Tho answer to that objection is, that a person specially trained in school work In tho management of teach ers could como nearer carrying oat tho object in viow than a person who has had no training in this lino. TIlO bill does not propone to i nterf ere with the terms of olllco of tho sovoral county superintendents of education until the expiration of the terms to Which they have been elected, to wit: 1902. Since tho favorable report by the com mittee on public schools, Mr. Thomas is very hopeful of the passage of the bill when its merits are understood, al though there is some opposition to it. THE CHILD LABOR SUBJECT A Memorial from the Cotton Manu facturers of Oconee County. The presidents of the cotton mills in Oconee County have prepared a state ment in regard to child labor in the mills, wuion I as been sent to the legis lative delegation froUl that county, and is as follows : Walhalla, s. c , Jan. i, 1001.

Of course the rapid growth of the cotton mill industry in South Carolina and in the South has limited mill extcn s'on in New England, and as such in vestments have been much sought after there in the past, the change to South ern mill building is much deprecated, and all sorts of efforts have been, and WO doubt not will be, attempted to handicap our triumphal progress by un friendly legislation under CUUUiugly de vised pleas ?J. Very recently an agitation has been begun at home, under humanitarian mo tives, in regard to children in our mills, and looking to future oducational tests for relief from what is believed to he a great grievance. As a matter of fact there is not a mill manager in our State who iloes not heartily approve of the age limit of 12 years for work >rs in our mills ; this would insure better help and leave the children from U l<> Vi to go to school and prepare themselves for the duties of life. :i. Legislation aimed at the inilis alone to accomplish this result will, however, ho fruitless unless parents can also he reached ; our daily experience show.; that parents in.-ist absolutely upon con trolling their respective tatnilics, and unle-s the Legislature can intervene and enact a compu'sory educational Kw, compelling parents to send their chil dren to school, up to 12 years of age, and affixing penalties for violating the smic, a very serious result will swiftly follow Qoorgia and N >rth Carolina have no such laws; it will Inevitably huppen that when a South Carolina mill agrees to employ a family, but, accord ing to the proposed new law, rejects workers under 12 years of age, the fain ily will quietly take the train, and in an hour or two will be in a mill, and in a ne ghboring Stale, where all can get work. 4. We cannot help reminding you that some very positive social conditions have to be known and considered in this complex mailer ; work m our mills is hugely by families, not separately, as individuals: some lake their ten-year old children into the mil) to have them Undor their own eyes ; others carry 'hem there to keep them oil' "le streets and the chances of bad company; Others from dire necessity for Securing their share of the family living Willi all these ao tual conditions duly weighed the Geor gia Legislature has recently defeated similar legislation by the decisive vole of more than two to one Speaking for our mill in vestments in Oconee County, now rapidly increasing, and as well for the enormous investments in the Statt at large, we take occasion to rctuaik that it is a condition, not a humanitarian theory you are to deal with. Hasty log [elation, aimed only at the mills, ma) transfer a large percentage of our work ers to neighboring Slates that are fret from such legislation. It will ho a sad day for South Carolina if her industrial progress is arrested by partial legislation ' enacted by her own sons. As Oconee County is on Georgia's border, with partial legislation as indi cated, our mills Will be much exposed to labor losses Confiding in your conservative view of these important ma ters, an . 1 asking for your careful consideration of this proposed legislation, we are very re spectfully : Win A Courtcnay, Newry: K K Lucas; W.
