THAI CANDLER LETTER.
The late little teapot tempest
raised by the hungry horde of small
bore politicians and their organs over
the letter of C<d. Candler to the
Rome man Meyerhardt having
in a measure subsided, it may now
be in order to analyze the matter, as
well as the letter, a little, and deter
mine what, after all, if anything,
justified the late clamor or flurry in
Georgia’s political circles.
The Meyerhardt letter may have
been a trifle plain and outspoken,
not to say personal, in its utterances,
particularly for latter-day Georgia
politics, but it was, at any rate, a fit
explanatory addendum to Col. Can
dler’s admirable Athens letter of
acceptance. If in the Athens letter
he was clear and emphatic in his de
nunciation of ringsand unclean meth
ods—an<l no one who reads it can
mistake its meaning in this particu
lar—the Rome letter merely empha
sized this meaning by coming down
to particulars. In other words, his
Athens letter was the sermon proper,
of which the Rome letter was the
application. And since there are
hundreds of preachers who can
preach a passably good sermon, to
one who can properly and courage
ously point its moral and make the
application, so there are always a
thousand or more politicians of the
anxious and expectant order who
can easily write high-sounding, patri
otic con mun’eations upon occasion,
to one who would venture to descend
from such platitudes to well known
facts and particulars. And this ap
pears to be the entire sum total of
Candler’s offending.
Now, if the cap happens to fit any
of these supersensitive politicians of
the small-bore variety, whether in
office or in wishful expectancy there
of, let them wear it. In short, let
the galled jades wince, as they well
may ; Candler’s withers are yet un
wrung. True it is not easily con
ceivable that any other of the large
number of Georgia statesmen “whose
names have been mentioned,” —to use
the current newspaper phrase—
would venture to put forth such a
communication on the eve of a polit
ical campaign in Georgia. But the
fact that Candler did so, and with
out any fear or calculation of the
consequences beforehand, is one that
the people at large will take into full
consideration at the proper time. It
is already apparent that his course in
the matter has materially added to
his strength and prestige as a candi
date, a fact one may confidently
forecast, if the people, and not the
politicians, are to control in the next
gubernatorial convention.
Col. Candler’s “offence” is so
new to Georgia politics—that of tell
ing the truth without disguise or
circumlocution—and his manner of
doing it so startlingly novel to the
average Georgia politician of the
office-holding and office-hunting class,
that one cannot wonder much at the
noise it made among them and their
organs. What Col. Candler said,
and, much more, what he strongly
intimated in the Meyerhardt letter,
has been thought and said by hun
dreds of observant and intelligent
Georgians of every shade of opinion,
during the past four years. It was,
at best, a poor proceeding on the
part of the shyster political element
in Georgia to unite thus in a clamor
against a man who has merely voiced
a truth which so many observant
people in Georgia knew to be such,
and no one, so far as known, has
even attempted seriously, not to say
successfully, to deny. But this one
imagined false step made by Can
dler, or one they fondly hoped he
bad made, and all at once the whole
ignoble, yelping pack of Georgia
professional candidature was upon
him. But, unfortunately for them
and their little plans and schemes,
the reaction has set in, and that, too,
much sooner than Col. Candler’s
best friends could have anticipated.
Observant people everywhere now
see wbat Candler saw from the out
set, that his canclidacy and the wide
spread enthusiasm it aroused all over
the State was not at all to the liking
of “the men who control,” and of
those who stand in with them.
Hence, to head him off in some way
became a necessity of their being
and continuing. The Meyerhardt
letter was their golden opportunity.
But 10l the Meyerhardt letter
turns out, upon close inspection and
a fair interpretation, to be a shibbo
leth to which all good and honest
men are everywhere saying “amen !”
—just such an expose as was wanted
and waited eagerly for by those who
were disgusted and outraged with
the methods and tacties by which
■Genera? Evans was euchred out of
the nomination in 1891.
Col. Candler’s candidacy, and the
response it met with on all sides, un
doubtedly very seriously damaged,
if it did not altogether smash, the
Slate which many believed was
written up and fixed at the now no
torious Newnan Possum Supper.
“Hine ilia* lacbrym.%-.” This service,
if there were none other to place to
his credit, should commend him to
all lovers of fair and open methods
everywhere. That it is getting time
for the people to take a hand in their
political affairs once more, as Col.
Candler more than suggest”, no
intelligent citizen of Georgia, who
has not been lured from his princi
ples by the hope or prospect of ring
preferment, will deny. Hence it is
of the utmost importance that the
voters in every county in Georgia,
who are in favor of clean methods
above everything else, should see to
it that none but good and unsus
pected delegates are sent to the nom
inating convention this year.
If the good and honest voters of
the state will merely keep in mind
the fate of General Evans in 1894,
and resolve that such tactics as de
feated him then shall no longer be al
lowed to prevail, all will yet be well
with them,and their votesand wishes
may once more be recognized and re
corded—as of yore. For with this
class of voters all united and de
termined, a dozen or a hundred
Meyerhardt letters, even with the
construction sought to be placed
upon them by the Ring and its
organs, will avail nothing against the
man of their choice, to wit, Allen
D. Candler.
THE GUBERNATORIAL CIRCUS.
Gubernatorial candidates appear to
be getting into the field now about
as rapidly as they got out a few
weeks ago. When Candler’s an
nouncement was published, and his
popularity became manifest, there
was great scramble to get from under
the falling timbers. Now that it is
supposed that Candler has queered
his prospects, and the manna is
thought to be dropping from the
heavens, there is a great spreading
of aprons to catch some of it. First
it was Terrell, then Dubignon,
then Jenkins to get out. Now it is
Spencer Atkinson (no kin to Bill),
then Berner, and soon to be Gar
rard to get in.
And after the other acrobats have
jumped over three horses and an
elephant, some of them turning as
many as three times in transit, here
comes Humpty Dumpty Sam Jones,
who throws his hat over, crawls un
der, and spreads himself for the cer
tain applause of the audience.
We may expect old Humpty to be
a very unruly performer before this
circus is over, for, contrary to the
regular custom, be has the whip in
his keeping and we may expect the
ring-master to feel the lash and do
the rubbing when the cracker knocks
the dust from the seat of his pants.
This change of the tables will be
highly appreciated by the people and
will make the entertainment draw
like a fly-plaster.
OH ! SO YOUNG AND FAIR !
The Pickens County Herald,
Tate’s home organ, ups and says
that its townsmen redeemed this dis
trict from Populism. Ob, when,
good neighbor ? Speer was the last
man who was not elected as a Demo
crat from this district, and he always
carried Pickens over the Democratic
candidate. Winn flopped after elec
tion, and before the Populist party
was born, and yet Tate “redeemed”
the district from an unborn infant.
Again it says Howard Thompson
is trying to get up opposition to
Tate, and that seems an unpardona
ble < ffense. “Upon what meat doth
this our C-esar feed, that he has
grown so great?” Two years ago
opposition came from a different
source. Tate’s record was assailed,
and he had not the courage to meet
his accuser, but Thompson and his
friends rallied to Tate against their
own townsman, and secured bis re
nomination, because of his bimetallic
record, while he failed to put in an
appearance here. Thompson was a
good fellow then, but now be is
dubbed, as the Herald says by the
Kimball House politicians, as “Slick
Thompson,” because of his sly ways.
This is contemptible. He has borne
that nickname from his youth up.
Again our contemporary says
Thompson has held office eighteen
years, and therefore must stop. Ob,
temporal Ob, mores! What about
Tate ? He has been a candidate at
every election since he reached his
majority, to wit: Elected to the
legislature in 1882, re-elected in
1884, and again in 1886. In 1888
he was a candidate for solicitor gen
eral against George R. Brown. In
1890 be was a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Congress
and was defeated by Winn. In
1892, 1894, and 1896 he received it
and has thrice been elected to Con
gress, and is now a candidate again
for the nomination. Pretty fair rec
ord for a verdant youth. We advise
the Herald about that glass house
business. Thompson is not making
charges or wry faces.
If Tate redeemed the district he
ought, it looks to us on this side, to
have long since done something
nearer home. His own county and
senatorial district have always gone
Republican and are now represented
by the only white Republicans in the
legislature. While he was engaged
in cleaning the back yard of the dis
trict he might have run his broom
around his own door-step. The filth
was at home.
It is sadly out of place for the
Herald to claim so much for its can
didate. The majorities which be
has received have come from away
from his home. This county gave
him the largest majority in the last
campaign he received, and no one
was more conspicuous in producing
it than this same “Slick Thompson”
of whom the Herald complains. Os
all things mean, ingratitude is the
basest.
Keep cool, neighbor ! The oppo
sition is on and it is a fight to the
finish.
ANOTHER RICHMOND.
R. L. Berner, president of the
Georgia senate, has announced for
the governorship. This makes it, up
to date, Candler, Atkinson, Ber
ner, with Sam Jones half seae-over
and Louis F. Garrard on the mour
ner’s bench.
Mr. Berner’s platform is, in its
essence, “Down with monopolie’.”
He is in favor of the strict enforce
ment of the law against railroads
combining to defeat competition, and
is opposed to the excellent move ad
vocated by the recent convention of
mayors for the passage of a bill to
allow cities to exempt manufactories
from taxation. Mr. Berner has
scraped together several isms calcu
lated to work on the prejudices of
the ignorant and make votes for him.
He is in favor of reducing taxes, yet
is opposed to taking anything from
schools or pensions, the two great
yawning chasms into which the taxes
are poured.
Mr. Berner knows, as every other
candidate knows, that here is the
spot to apply the pruning knife, but
neither he nor the others have the
courage to say so. It would be un
popular, for the minority pay the
taxes and the majority get the ben
efits. You see, a large majority of
the counties get more from the State
in these two items than they pay.
That is why Brother Berner and
the other brethren are in favor of re
ducing taxes and yet have failed to
suggest how.
UNCLE BILLY’S AILMENT.
What is ailin’ of your Uncle Billy
Simmons, owner of the Lawrence
ville News ? We do not know that
we know exactly what is the matter
with your Uncle Billy', but we think
we know. Your Uncle Billy has
on hand a big lot of mildewed Con
gressional aspirations. He has them
representing every stratum of the
Ninth district’s political history, go
ing back almost to the Tertiary
period. Your Uucle Billy has
known (in his mind) for lo these
many years that he was a statesman
of the superlative degree, and it has
ever been a matter of supreme as
tonishment to him how the people
could refrain from rising en masse
and with a common inspiration and
forcing him into the Congressional
harness. Being thus “possessed,” he
has been waiting expectantly for
just this thing to happen; and secure
in the ardent belief that it couldn’t
help but happen, he has been all the
time giving it out, like a coy maiden,
that he would ne’er, ne’er consent.
Col. Billy must very certainly have
noticed the unanimity and apparent
resignation with which the dear peo
ple have taken him at his word. He
can’t understand it, and perhaps
never will.
This situation explains why your
Uncle Billy is so bitter against the
other aspirants of the Ninth, es
pecially Col. Candler, whom he last
week put on the rack of his bitter
sarcasm. His attack on Candler
was harsh, unfeeling, and undeserved.
It came from a nervous canter of
gangrened ambitions rather than a
regular brain.
We are glad Col. Billy is forninst
Candler. There is a method in the
providence that has fixed up Uncle
Billy’s antagonism, and it bodes
well for the Plow Boy. The runners
in the Olympic games carried no
besetting weights.
If by some unfriendly fate Can
dler’s cause should begin to waver,
we trust Col. Billy will enter the
field agaiasl him as an orator.
SAM JONES IS OUT.
It a four-column article in the
Atlanta papers, that irrepressible
Humpty Dumpty, Sam Jones, an
nounces himself in the gubernatorial
race—that is, he is in the race, but
not exactly running. He says he
doesn’t have to run, for he can sit on
a stump and beat most of those who
are now entered. His letter is a
roast of the politicians, Gov. Atkin
son and his followers in particular.
Although the purpose of the letter is
to help Col. Candler, he, too, comes
in for a share of ridicule. Here are
a few choice selections from the evan
gelist’s political epistle. Referring
U Col. Candler’s famous recently
published letter, he says • “Allen
D. was worse scared than he was
hurt, dead sure, or he never would
have written that second letter. If
I bad been him I would have stuck
to that letter and fought it out with
them as long as I could kick or bit
or shoot or cut, and when hands and
legs were gone and teeth worn out,
I’d a’gummed ’em till I died. Oh, if
Mr. Candler had stuck to that first
letter and said : “Gentlemen, I have
made a lot of shoes; they are my
shoes and your fit. I call no names,
but every fellow knows his number.”
No one knows how seriously to
take your Uncle Jones, but he may’
yet raise lots of sand before the thing
is over.
THE CANDIDATES.
Our friends the candidates are
rather wary about showing up. Ac
cording to rumor, the woods are full
of them, but thus far only two have
formally announced—Messrs Whel
chel and Chamblee for Clerk.
Tom Bell will probably announce
later.
For Sheriff W. E. Smith will be a
candidate, and his announcement will
be in the paper shortly. M. O. Gil
mer of Tadmore will likely run, also
our present sheriff A. J. Mundy.
Harrison Deaton of Ciinchem is
being strongly urged by his many
friends and may be in the race be
fore the wire is reached. And there
are others figuring for the sweep
stakes.
As to the other county offices we
have heard no mention.
The friends of A. R. Smith and
D. H. Jarrett are talking of putting
them in the field for legislative
honors.
Come up, brethering; there is
plenty of room, and to spare. There
was never a better time to run, and
there was never a better place to
store that sd. than in a little hole
we have prepared at this office.
We will hold all your hats and
coats and guarantee a fair fight.
THE WRECKED BATTLESHIP.
The cause of the wreck of the bat
tleship Maine in Havana harbor, in
which 252 seamen were blown into
eternity, is as much a mystery as ever.
But a court of inquiry is in session in
Havana, composed of trusty naval
men, and whatever the facts are they
will come out.
There has been great excitement
all over the country the past week,
and the general opinion is that the
disaster was caused by a torpedo on
the outside or a submarine mine,
rather than ignition in the powder
magazine.
If it should finally appear that the
Spaniards were in no wise to blame
it will be a great disappointment to
the American people, who have their
hearts set on arucus with Spain.
INGALLS ON HARD TIMES.
Ex-Senator John James Ingalls
lectured on “Hard Times” in Atlanta
Tuesday night, and said some mighty
sensible things. Among other things,
this:
There has been a constant struggle
since the days of Magna Charta to
obliterate proverty. I have no
patience with wholesale aspersions
cast on public men. If men buy their
way into the United States senate,
they have a purchasable constituency.
If freaks get into the house of rep
resentatives, it is because they; are
elected by freak voters. There are
less than 6,000 men in the United
States worth $1,000,000 or more
apiece. These men have only one
vote each. On the other hand there
are 10,000,000 farmers, laborers,
mechanics and other men, each with
one vote. If legislation makes for
good or bad times, the people have
the power to control the legislation.
The lecturer said that he had the
opportunity to build the first Pull
man car, but the idea did not occur
to him.
BROUGHT THE BUSHWHACKERS OUT.
The Athens-Banner correspondent
from Harmony Grove thus sizes up
the effect of that so-called disastrous
letter:
The much-talked-of Candler letter
has not hurt him here, but has, on the
contrary, helped him considerably.
It has had the effect of solidifying
bis friends and if possible of binding
them to him all the closer. It has
also uncovered the enemy and put
them in the open ground, where they
can be seen by all men. Candler
has hosts of warm personal
and political friends throughout
Jackson and Banks counties, who
will always be grateful to him for his
valiant services in redeeming the gal
lant old Ninth District from Inde
pendentism in 1883, and now they
will stand up to him in one unbroken
phalanx in his present campaign.
Put Jackson county down for Allen
D. Candler, sure.
OPENING THE CAMPAIGN.
Hon. Howard Thompson delivere i,
in Dawsonville Tuesday last, the
opening speech of his campaign for
the democratic nomination for Con
gress from this district to a large and
enthusiastic audience. While his
fame as an orator at the bar was famil
iartoour people, they had not heard
him on the hustings, and to say they
were well pleased is to speak it
mildly.
The speech occupied more than
an hour in its delivery, and all who
could get into the court house lis
tened to it with marked attention.
Every word went home, and many
wbo were in doubt as to bow they
would vote now openly express
themselves for Mr. Thompson; and
that he will carry this county, in the
convention, no fair minded min now
any longer doubts.
To attempt to give a review of
this splendid effort would do not
only the speaker but ourselves injus
tice. It was pronounced by all the
ablest political address beard in our
county for years. It demonstrates
his thorough familiarity with public
affairs, and that in him, should he
secure the coveted priz°, the 9th
Congressional District would have
no booby, but one who would reflect
credit on himself, his state and the
country.
Mr. Tate has named bis committee
to act for him to arrange the joint
canvass between Mr. Thompson and
himself, and when they meet and the
contest is over it will be seen that
Tom Reed, the big Speaker, cannot
suppress Thompson, as he did Tate,
by saying “that how he got in Con
gress was a surprise to everybody.”
Ability tells, and all the people ad
mire it. Watch the canvass! Our
prediction is Thompson is coming
under the wire with the coveted
honors. The people desire a change,
and they are their own rulers. They
are not for sale, as Mr. Tate will find
when he attempts, should he do so,
to Hannaize the District.
Our 'bat is to the breeze for
Thompson. Advertiser.
PLATFORMS A-PLENTY.
And now comes Candidate Atkin
son with his platform. That, with
Candler’s and Berner’s, makes
three. It begins to look like the
good old Alliance days of 1890, when
there were platforms enough to burn
up a ten-acre field full of wet dogs,
and when indorsements, resolutions,
and whereases were as thick as dog
ticks in August. A gub. candidate
this year without his little platform
would be as non-effectual as a buz
zard without a bill. The platform is
the main thing. With no syrup, you
catch no flies. The platform is the
bait for the trap, and there are
always a tremendous lot of suckers
who would consider it an imposition
if they didn’t have the privilege of
biting.
Your Uncle Spencer R. (no kin
to Bill) favors a reduction of taxa
tion (of course). Not in favor of
reducing school fund (of course).
Nor the pensions (of course).
And there you are.
NO FUSION.
The Populist State convention for
Indiana has just closed with nom
inations for a full State ticket. An
anti-fusion plank was adopted with en
thusiasm.
THE WAY TO LOOK AT IT.
The Dalton Argus says of the situa
tion in Whitfield: “If you want to
know what the Democrats of Whit
field think of Candler’s letter, just re
member how far Atkinson ran behind
the democratic ticket in this county
in 1896.”
BROUGHT THEM OUT OF THE BRUSH.
Candler’s letter showed him who
are his friends and who are not.
Had this letter not been written his
enemies would have hatched up
something else to quarrel abont.
That letter did not make him ene
mies. It only brought them out.
Like every other public man, he had
his foes, and they were watching for
an excuse to assert themselves.
They thought they had caught a
whale in that letter, when it was
only a minnow.—Clarksville Adver
tiser.
ALLEN CANDLER TOLD THE TRUTH.
Solicitor Sam P. Maddox of Dalton,
says: “There’s nothing in Col. Cand
ler’s letter for me to take offense at.
I was an Atkinson man in 1894, but
I was not one of tire tricksters, and he
hits them only. As a state committee
man, I voted to hold the primaries all
on one day to avoid a repetition of
the methods practiced in some of the
counties in 1894. lam for Candler;
his condemnation of fraud don’t
wound my feelings. lam rallying to
that battlecry.”—Dalton Argus.
A* DISCLAIMER.
“Let the public remember that
Judge Spencer Atkinson is not in
any way related to Governor Atkin
son.”—Dalton Citizen.
Another forcible tribute to the
decadence of Governor Atkinson’s
influence in Georgia politics. First
the Hon. Joe Terrell quits the race
because handicapped, as he frankly
said, by Governor Atkinson’s friend
ship for him, and now Judge Atkin
son’s forces consider it necessary to
explain that he is no kin to Bill.
Even if he were, his blood relation
ship to Yates would not trouble the
people half as much as hie political
relationship does. No, we are prac
tically willing to acquit Spencer of
blood kinship, but politically he is
Bill Atkinson’s double first cousin
and ward.—Macon News.
HONEST MEN NOT HIT.
Col. Candler’s letter doesn’t come
within a thousand miles of hitting a
single honest man in the state.
Why, then, are a few politicians and
their followers fighting so hard
against the nomination of Col. Can
dler? Isn’t it because they have
axes to grind, and see in bis el action
their “burial beyond resurrection?”
There are men wbo know they
have not been honest in politics.
Against this class Col. Candler
simply sounds a warning note in his
much discussed letter. And these
same men also know that their
course is not approved by the masses,
and so, in order to gain their point,
they resort to dishonest means. The
people must be warned against these
tricksters that they may burst the
bonds of ring rule and become their
own masters. —Lyons Courier.
The negro postmaster at Lake
City, 8. C., a town of 500 inhabitants
was shot and killed by ku-klux Tues
day night. His wife and child were
also killed and bis two daughters
wounded. The post-office was
burned. This terrible crime was the
outcome of bad feeling over the
negro’s appointment.
ARE YOU TO LIVE IN ALASKA?
Some Requirements that Will be
Found Indispensable*
The universal article of diet in
that country, depended upon and in
dispensable, is bread or biscuit. And
to make the bread and biscuit, either
in the camp or upon the trail, yeast
cannot be used—it must be baking
powder; and the powder manu
factured by the processes of the
Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which will stand in
that peculiar climate of cold ard
dampness and raise the bread and
biscuits satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to go to Alaska
and the Yukon country to know,
for should he be persuaded by some
outfitter to take one of the cheap
brands of baking powder, it will cost
just as much to transport it, and
then when he opens it for use, after
all bis labor in packing it over the
long and difficult route, he will find a
solid caked mass or a lot of spoiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such a mistake might lead to the
most serious results. Alaska is no
place in which to experiment in
food, or try to economizs with your
stomach. For use in such a climate,
and under the trying and fatiguing
conditions of life and labor in that
country, everything must be the best
and most useful, and above all it is
imperative that all food supplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities.
It is absurd to convey over such
difficult and expensive routes an
article that will deteriorate in transit,
or that will be found when required
for use to have lost a great part of
its value.
There is no better guide to follow
in these matters than the advice of
those who have gone through similar
experience. Mr. McQuestion, who
is called “the father df Alaska,” after
an experience of years upon the trail,
in the camp, and in the use of every
kind of supply, says: We find in
Alaska that the ' importance of a
proper kind of baking powder cannot
be overerestimated. A miner with a
can of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried
all sorts, and have been obliged to
settle down to use nothing but the
Royal. It is stronger and carries
further, but above all things, it is the
only powder that will endure the se
vere climatic changes of the arctic
region.”
It is the same reasons that the U.
S. Government in its relief expedi
tions, and Peary, the famous arctic
traveler, have carried the Royal
Baking Powder exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will
not cake nor lose its strength either
on board ship or in damp climates,
and is the most highly concentrated
and efficient of leavening agents.
Hence it is indispensable to every
Alaskan outfit. It cm be had of any
of the trading companies in Alaska,
but should the miner procure his
supplies before leaving he should re
sist every attempt of the outfitter to
palm off upon him any of the other
brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of
great disappointment and trouble.
Gen. Gordon is 111.
Toledo, 0., Feb. 22 —Gen. Gordon,

seat in the Valentine theatre had
been sold in advance. Late this after
noon a telegram was received an
nouncing that General Gordon had
been taken suddenly very ill at Port
Huron, Mich., and was unable to
travel any futher. Private advices
are to the effect that Gen. Gordon is
a very sick man.

Columbus, Feb. 22—C01. C. J.
Thornton, the well known Populist,
who has been frequently spoken of as
the Populist candidate in the ap
proaching gubernatorial campaign,
said to a Journal correspondent this
morning :
“You can say in the Journal that
so far as I am concerned Sam Jones
will receive the endorsement of the
Populist party in Georgia. I shall
give him my support. The Populists,
1 believe, will rally to the evange
list, and if they do he will surely be
elected the next governor of Geor
gia.”
Pigmies In South Africa.
Mr. Eben Sullivan, of B >ston, who
has been in South America, has re
turned. He reports seeing a curious
race of pigmies. “I will ask you to
excuse the limited information I pos
sess on the subject of pigmy races,”
said Mr. Sullivan to Mr. R G. Halli
burton, of Boston, fellow of the Royal
Geographical Society, “for my trip to
South America was not for scientific
purposes, but purely commercial.
I met, while on the Rio Negro, one
of the tributaries of the Amazon, a
race of remarkably small people, who
are more likely of Indian than of ne
gro origin.
“They are very ugly in shape, the
stomach is distended out of all pro
portion to their liny, spindling arms
and legs. I think this is caused by
there anaconda like practice of gorg
ing. I think that they may number
10,000 or 15,000 souls.
These people are not over 4 feet
8 inches in height, and the women are
less than this. Clothing is worn only
by adults and consists merely of a
cloth over the loins. There hair is
done up and stuck together by mud
in a most repulsive fashion. They
have tribal marks that cover the up
per body and head, made by slits in
the skin. They are peaceably dis
posed and afraid of the wh'te man.”
At Set of Sun.
If we sit down at set of sun
And count the things that we have done
And, counting, find
One self denying act, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind.
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then we may count the day well spent.
But if through all the livelong day
We’ve eased no heart by yea or nay,
It through it all
We’ve done no thing that we can trace.
That brought the sunshine to a face.
No act, most small,
That helped some soul and nothing cost,
Then count that day as worse than lost
As One Thinks.
Sometimes we. wandering in a far, strange
land.
Meet a friend’s friend, and as we take his hand
For that friend’s sake we laugh and say how
small.
Bow very small, the world is, after alii
Yet sometimes, too. we walk the well known
street,
And, longing for one face we may not meet,
We think, but crush the words back sorrow
fully.
How W’ide. how very wide the world cam bei
—May D Hatch.
Be wise today Tis madness to defer.
Next day the fatal precedent will plead,
Thus on till wisdom is push’d out of life.
Procrastination is the thief of time.
Year after year it steals till all are fled
And to the mercies of a moment leaves
The vast concerns of an eternal scene.
—Edward Young
Sleep is an artist of the night,
With moods of mirth or pain
Dreams are his pictures, dark and bright,
Etched swiftly on the brain.
—William H. Hayue.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine
A REMEDY FOR THE
Effects of Tobacco.
v </
THE excessive use of tobacco, especially
by young men is always injurious and
undoubtedly shortens life materially.
Mr. Ed. C. Ebsen, compositor on the Contra-
Costa News, Martinez, Cal., writes; “I have
used Dr. Miles* Restorative Nervine and re
ceived mnyfa benefit from it. I was troubled
with nervousness, dizzy spells and sleepless
ness, caused by the use of tobacco and stim
ulants. I took Dr. Miles’ Nervine with mar
velously good results, allaying the dizziness,
quieting the nerves, and enabling me to
sleep and rest, proving in my case a very
beneficial remedy.” Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine is especially adapted to restoring
the nervous system to its normal condition
under such circumstances. It soothes, heals
and strengthens. HMIWnKHIH

“I was a victim of catarrh and suffered
