A Story of Jean Bart, ar? Old Time
French Naval Officer.
Jean Bart, a French naval com
mander of the last part of the sev
enteenth century, was at one time
ordered to convey the Prince de
Conti, a candidate for the throne of
Poland, to Dantzic, a voyage fraught
with danger, as his vessel nwt pass
through the waters wheft were
cruising the hostile fleets of the
English and Dutch. During the
passage the little squadron was
chased by the enemy, and £art, as
soon as they were reported, called
his little son to him and gave him
whispered instructions. The pursuit
continued for eight hours, and at
the end of that time the enemy was
no longer in sight. Then Bart went
down into the cabin, where the
prince had been sitting in ignorance
of the day’s excitement.
“You’ve had a narrow escape,
monseigneur,” said'he.
“What do you mean?” asked the
prince.
“Why,” answered Bart, “that
we’ve been chased by three eight
gun ships and nine frigates. We’ve
run them out of sight, and there’s
nothing to fear.”
“But, M. Bart, if they had taken
us?”
“Oh, monseigneur, that was quite
impossible.”
“Eli! What? Why impossible?”
“Because,” answered Bart, “I had
stationed my brave son, my Cornil,
in the gunroom with a lighted
match and strict orders to put it
into the powder if we should be
overpowered.”
“What!” cried the prince. “You
would never have done such a
thing ?”
“Certainly I would have done it,”
said Bart. “It shall never be said
that I allowed you to be taken when
the king ordered me to take care
that you were not.”
Perhaps the prince himself might
have preferred prosaic surrender to
the doubtful glory of being blown
U P-
He Only Wanted the Insides.
A certain colonel’s.gardener was
going through the woods belonging
to his employer when he saw a man
gathering nuts. As the colonel had
given him strict orders that no one
was to pick the nuts, the gardener
said to the man:
“You’ll have to clear out of this.
I’ve orders to keep all these nuts for
the colonel.”
“It’s all right,” replied the man.
“That’s whai I’m getting ’em for.”
The gardener, satisfied, then pass
ed on.
Meeting the same man a week
after, he said:
“Look here! You were not get
ting those nuts for the colonel at
all.”
“I tell you I was,” was the em
phatic reply. “Do you think I was
getting ’em for the shells? Not
me.”—London Mail.
The Whale.
An English schoolboy gives his
views regarding the whale: “The
whale is not called a fish because it
is so big, so it is called a creature.
They eat cockels and worms and
jellies. The whales swim in shols,
and they have a tarpoon at the end
of their tails, when he moves his
tail, with one blow he will smash
the side of the ship. It has a very
big head and two fins, or flappers, on
one side of its body. Fishmongers
catches whales an sail them. Some
people eat whales with salt and
piper and bread, and some with po
tatoes. If you keep a whales head
under water he will die for want of
breath.”
Survival of the Fitter.
A fitter who squeezed into a boiler
at the railroad station at Crewe,
England, apparently increased in
size while inside, for he could not
get out. The engine was obviously
not of the kind known as triple ex
pansion, and a problem of the most
serious order faced the other em
ployees. At first it was proposed to
get up steam and drive him through
the safety valve in the ordinary
way. His previous good character,
however, and the possession of a
large family secured him a reprieve.
The boiler was taken to pieces, the
incident ending, according to a Lon
don journal, in the “survival of the
fitter.”
The Truth Breaks Out.
“Now, of course, doctor,” said the
man upon whose eye the operation
had been performed, “I respect your
skill highly and all that, but doesn’t
it seem, even to you, a little too
much to charge SSO for doing a bit
of work that occupied you about five
minutes ?”
“My good sir,” said the great ocu
list, hastening to the defense of
himself and his profession, “you
don’t realize that in acquiring the
skill to perform such an operation
in five minutes I have spoiled per
haps two bushels of eyes quite as
valuable as yours!” New York
Times.
A Touching Story
Is the saving from death of the baby
girl of Geo. A. Eyler, Cumberland, Md.
He writes: “At the age of 11 months,
our little girl was in declining health,
with senous Throat Trouble, and two
physicians gave her up. We were al
most m despair, when we resolved to
try Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption, Coughs and Colds. The first
bottle gave relief; after taking four
bottles she was cured, and is now in
perfect health. ” Never fails to relieve

Ira Wood Takes Overdose.
An overdose of morphine, taken
it is believed, accidentally, caused
the death last Friday morning of
Ira T. Wood, 29 years old, of
Gainesville. Wood was a salesman
for the Atlanta Portrait Co., and
was staying Thursday and Thurs
day night at the home of his sister,
Mrs. lula Massey, at 50 Hayden
street. He was taken from there to
Grady hospital at 2:30 o’clock Fri
day morning, dying in the hospital a
half-hour later.
It seemed that Wood had been
unable to sleep for several nights.
Thursday night he was especially
wakeful and complained to the
other people in the house. Finally
he summoned Dr. McDaniel, who
lives nearby, and asked him to pre
scribe something to make him sleep.
The doctor refused to prescribe
morphine, but offered something
else. Not satisfied with this, Wood
went out and bought ten cents
worth of morphine. After mid
night, Robert Wood, a brother,
heard his moans, and ran to his
room. He realized at once that his
brother was in a serious condition,
being unconscious and breating
heavily.
An ambulance was hurriedly sum
moned from Grady hospital, and
the unconscious man was taken
there for treatment. Fie died,
however, half an hour after he ar
rived. In his pocket was found a
small bottle partially filled with
morphine. Wood was married, and
his wife, who survives him, lives
in Gainesville. His father is H. H.
Wood of Forsyth. Wood traveled
most <■ f the time, and was seldom
in Atlanta.
Mashed His Foot Severly.
Bob Miller happend to the painful
accident last week of mashing his foot.
He was handling some heavy lumber
while at work for the Gainesville Mid
land Railway, which has laid him up
for a week or two. His friends trust
that the injury will allow him to cast
aside his crutches very shortly, and re
sume his accustomed walk.

is It Right?
Is it right that a property-owner
should lose §4.20 to let a dealer make 50
cents? A dealer 50 cents more on four
teen gallons of ready-for-use paint, at
1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on
eight gallons of L. & M. paint and six
gallons of linseed of the best paint in
the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the prop
erty-owner loses just $4.20. Is it right?
It only requires 4 gallons of L. & M.
and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a mod
erate size house.

State Reformatory for Jackson County
The state reformatory, created by
the Felder bill, may be located near
Athens.
Dr. L. G. Hardman, one of the
representatives from Jackson county,
has made the state an offer of 400
acres of land in Jackson county near
Center. This place is about six
miles above Athens and is a splen
did tract of land, well watered and
is composed of upland and lowland.
There will no doubt be a number
of other offers made for the re
formatory, but none will likely be
as good a proposition as the one
made by Dr. Hardman.—Athens

Another Good Man Gone Wrong.
He neglected to take Foley’s Kidney
Cure at the first signs of kidney trouble
hoping it would wear away, and he was
soon a victim of Bright's disease.
There is danger in delay, but if Foley’s
Kidney Cure is taken at once the symp
toms will disappear, the kidneys are
strengthened and you are soon sound
and well. A. R. Bass of Morgantown,
Ind., had to get up ten or twelve times
in the night, and had a severe backache
and pains in the kidneys, and was cured
by Foley’s Kidney Cure. Dr. J. B.

WHEN BABY
IS COMING
USE
Mother’s Friend.
Woman’s greatest dream of beauty and
glory is when nature has chosen her to
become a mother. Every faculty is keenly
alert and her nature the finest as she fore
sees the joy, the ambition, the success and
the life-long satisfaction coming, coming
nearer, day by day, in the dear ana innocent
being so soon to see light, and the very
uncertainty whether she shall see a sweet
girl face or a brave boy face beside her on
the pillow, adds zest to her expectancy.
Then, if ever, she should take care of her
physical, mental and moral health.
MOTHER’S FRIEND applied externally
throughout pregnancy will relieve the pain
of parturition, and no mother and child can
fail to be healthy, hearty, strong, clearcom
plexioned, pure blooded, calm nerved and
cheerful in disposition, who are mutually
influenced for months by the continued use
of Mother’s Friend.
