DUSK, AND THE DAY IS DONE.
Dusk, anil t!io dnv Is <lono,
Homeward I turn;
Bright ns the setting sun
Its fires do burn.
Dusk, nnd the shadows fold
On the hill s breast;
Dark 'gainst the fleeing gold.
In the far west.
Dusk, nnd the waking stars
Glimmer on high
I.lke enndles n» wly lit
In the gray sky.
Dusk, and I see jour face.
Soft lips apart;
Waiting to find your place,
Near to my heart.

WANTED: A WORRIER.
By Annie Hamilton Donnell.
:0
Mrs. Heath's anxious voice drifted
down the hall, down the stairs.
“Did ’Caroline take an umbrella?’
A cheerful, sixteen-year-old voice
drifted back up the stairs, up the hall.
“1 don’t know. I'll count ’em.”
"1 know siie didn’t,” groaned the
anxious voice in the period of waiting,
“and she had all her best clothes on,
as she always has when it's cloudy.”
“She never! Here's four in the um
brella stand. But don’t you go to
worrying, mnrtnie; it only looks like
rain."
Mrs. Heath resumed her darning and
her worrying. She was a tiny woman
who should have been pink nnd white
and smooth, unwon led. Faint care
lines, as it v.ns, crisscrossed her gen
tle face. Umbrellas was but one item
of her daily program of anxieties, She
was the family worrier—all the pos
sible and impossible calamities that
might or might not happen to seven
lusty Heaths happened to them in her
imagination.
"That lovely hat! Caroline is so
rare— Mercy, I'm sure 1 smell smoke!"
Blie hurried to tho head of the stairs.
“Mig! Mig!”
“Yes’m,” against the cheerful young
voice.
“Yon there?” Mrs. Heath was mild
ly addicted to needless questions. "I
smell fue, Is tlie baby anywhere near
the matches?”
The baby was five and utterly un
reconciled to his mortifying title.
"lie's in the same room, but lie’s on
the floor, and ilio match—”
“Then it’s Thyrsa. She's probably
lighting (lie fire with kerosene. Run,
Mig, quick!”
"I will. I’ll put her out—never you
mind, marinie!”
There was a scurry of light feel fol
lowed by clumping little ones. It was
the baby who reported, a moment lat
er.
"Nothin’s burr.in' ’cept the fire,” lie
shouted at the top of good lungs.
“Well, it’s a merry! Something
else will burn one of these days, with
everybody so reckless. We shall wake
up some morning and find outselvcs
burned to a crisp. I wonder where 1
dropped that needle? 'Nov/ some one
will step on it and have lockjaw! 1
shan't' lake a minute’s peace until 1
find it.’
She tool; very few minutes’
day or night. Did Griffith II. read his
Imtin over the second time before he
went to school? Had Griffith I. re
membered to order coni? Was Thyrsa
coming down with another earache?
"What if the new neighbors turned
out to be the wrong kind? Wlmt if
the dressmaker got Mig’s dress too
Bhort—or too long—or the sleeves
skimpy? What if a hundred other
dreadful things happened?
The seven other Heaths enjoyed life
In a healthful, untroubled fashion that
to the little family worrier appeared
incomprehensible. The weight of the
cures they ought to feel and tlie wor
ries they ought to worry added to her
own full quiver until the burden grew
almost too heavy for her slender
shoulders, it happened that this par
ticular afternoon was destined to he
the fateful one. Quite suddenly and
unprc-meditatedly Lite half-mend vd
stocking dropped from Mis. Heath’s
lingers.
“I’m too tired to worry about an
other tiling!’’ she*said with a curious
air of finality. “Somebody else must
do it now—I’ve done my part.” Her
tired eyes had a strained look. She
was conscious of a sudden desire to
change places with the baby, so that
she might cry. She put lier hand to
her head. If anything should snap —
she had never been afraid before that
anything would snap.
‘‘I’ve got to stop worrying,” she said
aloud. "Henrietta Heath, you listen
to me. When I suy ‘three’ you stop!”
She had left her little straight-backed
.sewing chair and sunk into Griffith I.’s
soft rocker. “One—two—” she counted
ion of doing the right thing In the
ight way, put on her things and de
parted leisurely for the printing es-
ablishnicnt of the Evening Call.
”1 wish this advertisement inserted
in tomorrow's paper,” she said to the
polite person who came forward to
meet her. “I am sorry it could not
have been— it is too late for today,
I suppose?”
“M—m—yes, certainly, madam.” The
polite person was reading the little
•Tip ot^ paper. He looked up unsmil-
ingly. When lie spoke his tone was
solicitous.
"The paper has gone to press. We
could only get out an extra. If there
!:; great hurry—” He waited.
Mrs. Heath shook her head slowly.
"Tomorrow will do,” she said, “but
lot a day later. And I shall be obliged
if you will give It a prominent place.”
“On the first page, madam. Give your
self no worriment.”
Of course Bhe would not do that.
Worrlments were behind her now.
But it worried her. The helpless fam
ily the helpless family! “Only till to
morrow,” she comforted herself.
The next day, just before tea time,
Mis. Heath was summoned by Thyrsa
to the parlor. A stranger in a black
drtss rose at her entrance. There was
only time to note the extreme gravity
bordering upon sourness, of the strang
er’s face before a nervous voice spoke.
“I tame in answer to your adver
tisement in today’s Call."
"Gli! Oil, yes, you are a—a—” Mrs.
' Heath faltered in palpable embarrasB-
ment.
"Worrier—yes. Professional. Forty
years’ experience. Thirteen years and
a half in my last place—lady died, man
iu the asylum. 1 can’t refer you to
them, but—”
“Yes, oli, yes, I'd like references,”
Mrs. Heatli faltered weakly. This pro
fessional worrier abashed her strange
ly. In this presence she herself seem
ed such a novice—amateur. The
stranger went oa, in a matter-of-faci
tone;
"In my place before last i worried
for a family of six—Mrs. Elbertus Leo,
Derry Bridge. Family numbered only
three i:i the place before that, but the
work was hard, very hard. 1 have
worked in only throe places.” Tito
| latter was said in a tone of pride. To
' ' have worried—professionally—for for
ty years in but three “places” appeared
occasion for pride. Mis. Heath was
only thirty-four. She blushed uncom
fortably.
“Well, if you think I’ll suit, I’m
ready to begin at. once. We can givA
each other a trial anyway, but I want
one tiling understood at the start—”
“Yes?” hesitated Mrs. Hfrnth.
“And that is that I’m not to be in
terfered with. I'm to do it all.”
“There are seven. Seven is a good
many—”
"l am perfectly competent to do the
worrying for seven. It must he left
entirely to me. 1 suppose the seven
includes you?”
“Dear, no!” The little amateur wor
rier had never worried about herself. It
had not occurred to her.
“Eight, then. Names, please? 1
wish to get acquainted with my cases
before I begin work, and tiny little
hints that you can give me—”
"Griffith I., Griffith II., Caroline,
Mig, the twins, tlie baby,” recited the
wile of one and mother of all the rest
kn rather a tremulous voice. A sob
seemed to be tangled up In her throat.
Was she giving them all up to this
solemn, sour person in black? The
solemn, sour person wrote the names
in a small blank book, with capable
I flourishes.
“Have you any preference as. to
which one I worry about first?” she
inquired, snapping the covers of the
book together. “We are losing time—
I should like to begin at once."
“The baby,’ faltered the baby's
mother. He was a good one to begin
.slowly, “three! Have you stopped, ! ailt * eiu ^ VG| y minute
Henrietta Heath?” “ n ” r ’ m hp ’ K n,Mvi,Mr with
“I have stopped,” nodded Henrietta
Heath from the depths of the great
chair. She closed her eyes In relaxed
abandonment of earthly cares. But
unconsciously she worried on because
she was not worrying. Some one must
worry—a helpless family could not be
left in tlie lurch like this. She must
find some one to take her place—
“I’ll advertise,” she thought, and got
paper and pencil.
The wording of the notice gave her
little trouble; it was odd how her pen
cil flew from line to line. Things one
might suppose to be difficult and un
usual appeared simple enough now to
her. She read the advertisement aloud.
It sounded well.
"Wanted■ A working worrier for a
family of seven. Only competent per
son need apply. Permanent situation
for the right one. References, Ad
dress Henrietta Heath, Crescent Ter
race.’
The Pineboro Evening Call went to
press at noon. It was too late for
today, but none too early for tomor-
Oh, I’m ahead he’s playing with
matches, or falling down the cellar
bulkhead!” worried the professional
worrier in a businesslike manner. She
entered upon her work with a perfect
acquaintance with its requirements—
her tone, her look, her motions were
ail in harmony with her calling.
Mrs. Heath found herself watching
her with fascinated gaze. It was as
if she was watching herself from a
little distance. The anxious lines and
creases in the stranger's face filled her
with horror, for they might all be in
her own face. She put up her hand to
feel and see. They were there!
A network of fine lines threaded the
forehead of the other woman. More
lines rail down her cheekss—more still
from the corners of her mouth. Hen
rietta ITeath, in a little whirl of panic,
ran to her room and peered into the
mirror. The face she saw there re
sembled faintly the lined Hire of the
woman she had engaged to do her
worrying—there was no doubt of the
resemblance.
Downstairs the girl twin was drum-
row, Mrs. Heath, in the calm convic- i nilng scales on the piano, and wrong
notes drifted upward discordantly,!
but the girl twin's mother laughed
softly. She went back to the strang
er; this was her business.
“Sulvia is practising wrong," she
said.
“I know—I know,” snapped the i
stranger irritably, “but 1 can’t attend |
to everything at once! I’m worrying j
about Griffith 11. Just this minute, for
fear he’ll slip under the gate instead j
of waiting at the railroad missing. 1 j
can’t worry about two at once with |
any sort of success. That reminds, I j
forgot to say that if I am expected to
work nights 1 shall charge double
wages. Ni^ht. work Is very exhaust
ing”
“Yes," murmured little Mrs. Heath,
as one who knew, “I always worried
nights, too. You can charge extra."
The days that, followed that advent
of the professional worrier were easy
days to the weary one released from
all care. She grew round and smooth,
laughed off cm, sang little snatches ot
song. The children exulted.
“Mamie's growing young!” Mig
boasted. "See, papa, how lovely she
is!”
"Yes,” Griffith I. agreed with unc
tion. nnd added little praises of his
own In mammie's ear.
Caroline, the baby, all the others,
admired enthusiastically. Only the
hired worrier worried now in the
household of the Heaths. Then like
a bolt from cloudless sky came the end
of this satisfactory arrangement.
Henrietta Heath at Her peaceful, un-
worried mending one morning, beheld
the worrier standing in the door with
unwonted .excitement evident in her
whole bearing.
"I’ve come to give warning.” She
spoke rapidly. “I can't wait to give
two weeks’ notice. I belong to the
union, and they’ve ordered me to quit
work."
“Is It a strike?" demanded Mrs.
Heath, though uselessly.
Whatever It was, it could not mat
ter. The old worries loomed blackly
right ahead. Like arms of a deadly
squid they were closing around her. '
She groaned already in their clutches. I
The person in tHe doorway had ap
parently not heard the question.
“I’m sorry I can stay to finish worry- j
ing about the baby’s tooth that’s com- |
ing in crooked, but you'll have to fin
ish it out. Miss Caroline's stooped
shoulders eante noxf on my list—I
planned that and Miss Sylvia’s runover
Heels for this afternoon." She took
out her memorandum and consulted
it with knit brows, muttering items
under her breath: “Master Griffith’s
cowlick, Thyrsa’s ears, thin places in
sitting room carpet—m—m—m—ink
spots on table doth—m—m—in—” her
voice trickling out into indistinctness.
Suddenly she folded the paper and ex
tended it toward Mrs. Heath. "It may
be it help,” she said gravely. "I’ve al
ways made it a practice to work from
a prepared list—dear knows I'd have
died long ago if I hadn’t! It's a wear
ing business—wearing.” New lines
seemed to’ appear startlingly in her
wizened face and she sighed deeply.
An awful terror 'gripped Henrietta
Heath—this was herself standing fac
ing her in the doorway! Tills was the
way slip was going to look and to
sigh!
“Good-by,” the worrier said, and
turned away. But the other woman
called her—shrieked after her:
“Come back! Come back and get
your list! Take it with you—I don't
want it. I tell you I’m not going back
to worrying. 1 won't! I won’t!” She
tried to get out of her chair—to throw
away the list of worries, it grew
heavy, like a leaden list, in her hands,
it grew hot and burned her.
“Why, martnie!”
It was Mig standing over iter. She
was i.n Griffith I.’s great easy chair.
“You screamed out in your sleep—
you must have had an awful dream.
“Awful!” shuddered marmie. “Mig”
— she lifted her face to the girl—“am
i I wizened? Do 1 look old and sour
! and dreadful? Tell me quick!
“Why, marmie! Why, what are you
thinking of? You look dear.”
The little mother swept the little
daughter Into her arms, laughing joy
ously the while. "Then I woke up in
time—I mean I went t () sleep in time,
.lust in time, Miggins!”
Mig’s face, expressive of utter be
wilderment, came out of the dizzy em
brace. Her errand upstairs recurred
to her.
"1 came up,” she panted breathless
ly, “to tell you the baby’s torn a great
Hole in ids rompers—awful! And
Sylvia's practicing ’G’ flat instead of
‘A’ flat—I can’t make Her stop. And
Thyrsa’s broken the biggest plat—”
“Mig, listen to me! There are worse
things than holes and ‘G’ flats and
broken platters. You go downstairs
and be thankful your mother lias
found It out in time. Here—kiss me
first. Now run.” But she called after
the light-retreating little figure. “Mig
gins!”
"Yes? What say, marmie?”
“You are sure it isn’t wizened yet?”
“Marmie, the idea! It’s dear—dear—
dear.”
Henrietta Heath ran to her mirror
and gazed at herself in its unflattering
depths. She began to pinch and knead
the sweet face there.
“I’ll pinch ’em out—I’ll knead ’em
out,” she said. “Then I’ll start again,
smooth!”
Downstairs the girl twin practicing
her discordant little scales seemed to
be playing a tune.—Woman’s Home
Companion.
Out of the Rut.

ingly novel.”

Second Ccnviction for Johnson.
The jury in the Jim .Johnson case
at Moultrie returii'-d a verdict of mur

The sentence of life imprisonment was
for the second time imposed on John
son, who is charged with having as
sassinated Ills aged father for life in
surance a little more than a year ago.
The evidence was only circumstantial,

Cattle Raising Urged.
“There is nothing at our state fail
which points out a more fruitful oc
cupation for the Georgia farmer than
that of cuttle raising,” said President
J- J- Connor, of the Georgia State Ag-
ricultural Society, while inspecting the
live stock exhibit at the Georgia state
fair, where is shown the best cattle
of the state.
"These cattle,” he continued, “are
home raised, fed and fattened from a
native feed composed of cotton seed
meal and cotton seed hulls, and clear
ly demonstrates what can be done on
Georgia farms except raise cotton.”
President Connor, in His address be
fore the Agricultural Society at Car
rollton in August, urged the farmers
to turn more to cattle raising, and a.i
a director of the new agricultural col
lege at Athens has insisted that the
science of cattle raising ho one of the
branches taught in this great college.
Dr. Soule, the president of the in
stitution, is as enthusiastic on this sub
ject as is President Connor.
The fact that cattle-raising is both
urged and taught by two authorities
who have the welfare of the southern
Planter so to heart will doubtless mean
that it will be entered into extensive
ly in the immediate future.

Confession Failed to Work.
Robert Branham, the negro who was
convicted at Atlanta of attempted crim
inal assault upon the two Misses Law
rence and sentenced to serve forty
years in the penitentiary, twenty yeark
in each case, lias been refused a rec
ommendation to executive clemency
and will have to serve his sentence.
The application for pardon in Bran
ham’s case was based on the confes
sion made by Will Johnson, the negro
hanged some time ago in Fulton county
jail for criminal assault upon Mrs.
Hembree. When on the gallows John
son made confession of a number of
crimes and among others declared he
was guilty of that for which Branham
had been convicted.
r i he Misses Lawrence, however, per
sisted in their identification of Bran
ham and their father was, likewise,
convinced of his guilt. There .were
facts which also discredited Johnson's
confession, nnd the commission did not
consider that there was anything to
warrant a recommendation to clem
ency.

Knotty County Line Problem.
The fight over the county line be
tween Laurens and Johnson counties
hinges upon the construction to be
placed upon a single clause in the act
of 1859 tinder which Johnson was cre
ated out of Washington, Laurens and
Emanuel comities.
The clause of the act. in dispute is r
follows: “Thence eastward along snlrt
line to where the Sandersville and Dub
lin road crosses Fort's Creek, a straight
line, td the Emanuel and Laurens line,
one mile south of Snell's bridge on the
Great Ohoople river.”
The dispute hinges about the words,
“a straight line,” in the foregoing
clause between two commas. Does this
expression apply to the first or to
the last part of the clause in question?
Johnson county contends that it ap
plies to the first portion ; Laurens holds
that It goes with the last.
This was the chief question urged
in the appeal recently heard by Sec
retary of State Philip Cook. It is up
to him to render final decision in the
matter. 1

KILLED WIFE AND SELF.
Brunswick Merchant, in Fit of Insan
ity, Commits Dcuble Tragedy.
Clutching her two-year-old baby in
her arms and fleeing in her night
clothes from her crazed husband, Mrs.
Minnie, Rainey was shot down In
front of tho grocery store kept by toe
couple in Brunswick, Ga., at one'
o'clock Sunday morning.
Seizing ills wife by the arm, Rai
ney placed the muzzle of ids revolver
in her left eye, sending a bullet through
her brain. The *.voman fell on the
board walk with a shriek.
Standing by his dying wife, Rainey
put tlie revolver to his left ear and
sent a ball crashing through his brain.
In a few minutes he was dead. The
baby was unharmed. Rajnoy was 29
years of age. He married four years
ago and the couple were devoted to
each other. Three weeks ago he broke
off drinking and soon developed signs
of insanity.
TWO LIFE PRISONERS ESCAPE.
Truatiss Take French Leave of South
Carolina Penitentiary.
Two prisoners, both white men, and
sent up for life, escaped from the
South Carolina state penitentiary at
Columbia Tuesday morning. James
Suddith and Walter G. Allen are the
names of tlie men who escaped. They
were trusties.
Allen was a life prisoner, 32 years
old. Suddith is 43 years old, and was
serving a life sentence for murder.
He was notorious as a moonshiner
in the “Dark Corner.”
William Jennings Bryan, America**
greatest common citizen, introduced
by Governor Smith as "our next d m
ocratio president,” pronounced an epic
upon tho common people of tlie C0UI1 .
try Saturday at noon, when, In th»
coliseum, at the Georgia state rah
In Atlanta, he spoke to an audience or
7,000 people, using a shls theme, ■•Tim
Average Man.”
While the address took more or the
nature of a lecture than a political
speech, there was injected enough or
tho latter to clearly outline the lin. s
upon which he thinks the next cam-
paign will be waged. Briefly stated,
these are:
The relative sphere of state and na
tion and the right of the state to act as
custodian for its people.
The regulation of the great transpor.
tntion companies.
A revision of the tariff law.
Contributory wealth of great corpo
rations for campaign ami political pur
poses.
These paramount issues were elabo
rated upon by him in great detail,
though he stated at the outset that
no one could tell, at this time, just
what tho issues would be nearly a
year hence.
With his great and powerful voice,
which is far reaching and a;, clear
as a boll, he spoke for an hour and
a half, during which time he was g| v .
en tlie closest attention and repeated-
ly interrupted by applause.
With that ease and grace for which
he as an orator stands pre-eminently
Mr. Bryan would change from a se
rious argument in regard to a mone
tary condition, corporation domination
or transportation regulation, to that of
a scene and incident itt his own home,
which he would picture \vi:h graphic
minuteness, and after the laugh came
at the conclusion of the anecdote th-
mind of his hearer was startled to real
ize that it was told for the purpost
of bringing home some great trutll
iie Had previously expounded in, per
haps, technical language.
With equal vim he praised and crit-
ciseil ihe present national administra
tion, pointing out how, when the pres
ident took up some great democratic
principle he became popular, n:id wheal
he opposed one he was universally crit-J
icised. He pointed out iiinumorabie
instances where in the past twelve
years the republican party wa I
up the principles of tlie democratic!
party and how each of these had prov
ed most popular.
The only rest that was allowed the
distinguished visitor came immediate
ly after the conclusion of his address
in the coliseum, when lie was the|
guest of an Informal luncheon at tho
Piedmont Driving Club.
Following the luncheon Mr. Hrvanl
was driven to the executive mansion,i
where he held a public reception. Thlsl
Was given in honor of Mr. Bryan and
thousands of people were present to I
meet him.
Tlie reception lasted from -1 untSil
(1 o’clock, when tlie distinguished visi-f
tor was the guest of honor at thel
’dollar dinner” at the Piedmont hot i.l
'‘Democracy today presents the moffl
united front I have known in the pastl
15 years,” declared Mr. Bryan In hi 3 !
speech at tlie “dollar dinner.’ I
"In fact, it is tlie most solid front II
ever knew since my entry Into the iiol
litical arena. There are a few bushj
whackers still In our midst and if yo»[
will locate their offices you will find
that their wives are connected vilii
predatory wealth. |
"Today wo are united; the repuhllj
can party is divided, just as we wen
eleven years ago. Today our fight is- 1 !
solid one. We stand for the ss
tilings all over the United States.
"Our party faces the coming
i-i; '' 1
with hope, and all that, is noce- : '- r -|
for us to have a complete victory
to prove ourselves worthy."
