is best These farmers get onto the

good gang or sulky plow just as soon as
possible after harvest so the soil may

seed H P Waits Co can fit you

JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS
Tho
Way Ho Came to Write
Even the Street Car Conductor
His
Uncle Remus Stones
Many great works of genius as Is
wcll known have been produced by
accident and an author Is seldom the
best judge of his own work When
Joel Chandler Harris wrote the first of
his Uncle Remus stories and pre
sen ted it for publication he did so
with a hundred misgivings He was
not sure that his venture in negro folk
lore would prove successful He could
not know that they would bring him
worldwide fame
At the time described Mr Harris
was a jo ung man of twent3 oight em
ployed on the Atlanta Constitution
Sam W Small afterward a revivalist
who had been writing for the same
paper a popular column of negro story
and dialect had just resigned from the
staff The managing editor of the Con
stitution wishing to continue the fea
ture said to Harris one day Joel it
seems to me 3011 could do that sort of
thing to a tee See lf you cant turn in
something tonight
The 3oung writers memory flitted
back to his earl3 da3s on a plantation
All the quaint settings of negro life
the little cabins the Addling darkies
the wrinkled stor3 teller the black
mammies the nois3 corn shuckings
the bobtailed rabbits disappearing
along the road came hurrying fro--the
past Late that afternoon he ti
ed in his copy The next day hi
tation was made Current Literati
TIPPING IN BOHEMIA
Ex-
pects His Gratuity
In the city of Prague a tip to the
tramway conductor is considered de
rigueur The orthodox tip consists of
but 2 heller or two tenths of a penu3
3et as strap hanging is allowed for
in considering the carrying capacity of
the car the conductors should have got
a goodly pocketful of the minimum
coin by each da3s end
Tipping it was ascertained in an
other of Bohemias larger towns is so
fully reeoguzed that the head waiter
at a cafe pa3s a rent for his post sup
plies all tb journals for the coffee
room and looks after the other wait
ers and then makes an income larger
than tint of a university professor all
out of his tips
After supper at one of the delight
ful open air cafes of the capital it was
found that approximately one should
give a half krone fivepence to the
head waiter who took payment two
pence to the underwaiter who brought
the viands and a halfpenny to the boy
who brought and even brought again
as one glass was finished the beer
London Chronicle
Dont Say Cologne
She sprinkled eau de cologne liberal
ly in the bath of pink marble It is
this perfume she said learnedly
which makes us think that the town
of Cologne must be scented Johann
Maria Farina invented 200 years ago
in Cologne a perfume made of the oils
of neroli citron bergamot orange and
rosemary lie called the perfume aft
er his city eau de Cologne water of
Cologne By the same token had he
been a Londoner hed have called it
eau de London In that case the illit
erate would now think London a scent
ed city and instead of saying correctly
Put a few drops of perfume on my
handkerchief they would say Put
a few drops of London on it In fact
it is a very vulgar and silly error to
call all perfumes cologne You might
as well call them Chicago or Denver

WOMEiM OF PARAGUAY
Patient and Good Natured Barefooted
and White Robed
Paraguay is rich in local color The
picturesque character of the native
population with their quaint Indian
features and habits of everyday life
is interesting to anybody fond of ob
serving strange phases of human life
By nature these people are patient and
gentle seldom complaining chattering
and laughing from sunrise to sunset
and taking small thought of what tlr
morrow may have in store for them
It is hard to imagine how Lope2
could have drilled them into fighting
material of strength enough to keep in
check the combined forces of Argen
tina Urazil and Uraguay for five long
weary years and it speaks volumes for
the indomitable energy of the man that
he was able to sustain his position for
so protracted a time
Clothing is very much of a superflu
ity in Paraguay says the Boston
Transcript The attire of the women
is a cotton chemise with a long sheet
like shawl or manta passed over the
head and around the body in Moorish
fashion The dress of the men is
equally simple consisting only of cot
ton shirt and trousers Both sexes are
guiltless of foot covering At times an
almost uncanny feeling rises when a
group of these white robed dark hair
ed maidens pass suddenly with the
silent tread of unshod feet
Of a morning in the market places
the women folk flock to sell their
wares carrying on their heads the bas
kets containing the few cents worth
of native produce they have been able
to gather together for disposal in the
towns The soft Guarani language the
common tongue of the Paraguayans
adds further charm to the scene
