FULL OF RESOURCE. 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 and cure a cough or cold. At M. C. Brown’s and Dr. J. B.

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.
