HOMER, GA„ THURSDAY. JULY 28, 1898.
License to SELL,
“I’m license! to sell! Get out my
shop!” the ruraseller angrily cried.
With a frown on his lace and a curse
on his lips, to the woman who stood
by his side.
“My moments are precious- I’ve no
time to waste. I have paid for my
license I say,
’tis my business to rell. I shall sell
when 1 choose to those who will
give me my pay.”
* * *
“Your moments are precious! Ah,
precious for what? To ruin some
innocent ones?
You shall listen a moment. ’Tis little
I ask for for wrong that to me you
have done
You have ruined my husband, both
body and soul, that you his scant
money might gain.
You were licensed to sell, you an
swered me then, and all my plead
ings were vain.
You lured him on with your honeved
words till your victory you have
made complete—
Till bis money was gone. Then one
cold night you turned him into the
street.
You were licensed to sell and gave not
a sigh for the miserable work you
had done.
And now, not content, you are striv
ing yaur best to likewise ruin my
son.
You are leading him on in the down
ward path; his meager earning you
crave;
For that you are willing to send him
down to an early drunkard’s grave.
To look at the miserable sot of our
town then back to ten years ago,
And know that it is you and your
cursed wox-k that have brought
them down so low—
You are licensed to sell, ah, yes, it is
true that your license in money is
paid,
But think tiats not all that would
ever be asked for the miserable
wrecks you have made.
When you stand at the judgement
seat ot God, for deeds done here on
earth,
And you stand in the presence of
these poor sou’s t! at you have
helped draged down to hell.
Of little avail will it be to you to say,
“I am licensed to sell.”
Cr&mp In tlio T.eg.
Many persons of both sexes are great
ly troubled with cramp in one or boih of
their legs. It comes on suddenly and is
very severe. Most people jump oct of
bed (it nearly always comes on either
just after going to bed or while undress
ing) and ask someone to rub the leg.
There is nothing easier than to make
the spasm let go its hold, and it can b
accomplished without sending for a doo
tor, who way be tired and in need of a
good night’s rest. When I have a pa
tient who is subject to cramp, I always
advise him to provido himself with a
good strong cord. A long garter will do
if nothing else is handy. When the
cramp comes on, take the cord, wind it
around the leg over tho place that is
./ramped and take an end in each hand
and give itrj pull—one that will
burt a little. / Instantly the cramp will
depart, and the sufferer can go to bed
assured it will not come on again that
nig'it. I have saved myself many a good
night's rest simply by posting my pa
tients subject to spasms of the legs how
to use the cord as above. I have never
known It to fail, and I have tried it aft
er they bad worked half tho night au.*
the patient was in the most intense
agony.—New York Ledger.
Peculiar Trade Custom*.
The Armenians, who divide with tbt>
Greeks and Jews the entire mercantile
traffic of west Asia, are acoustomed to
sit down and weep bitterly when they
have sold any article of value, declar
ing that the purchaser has ruined them.
The Jews, on similar occasions, rend
their garments, which are worn pur
posely for such sacrifice, with still
louder protestations of ruin. In Asiasio
Russia the shopkeepers consider it in
cumbent upon thorn to at first refuse to
sell their goods to any customer, and
the latter is expected to employ himself
at least an hour in persuading the mer
chant to deal with him.
But the most remarkable custom is
that which prevails among tho mer
chants of Tibet, regular band to band
fight being required to take place be
aten the seller and the purchaser on
tlrfkdisposal of any considerable quanti
ty of goods, the former obstinately re
fusing the price to which he had first
agreed, and the latter as resolutely forc
ing it upon kirn. It is not considered
businesslike to settle matters until a
few blows have been exchanged, aftot
which tiriy peaceably shake hands and
the bargain is concluded. —Exchange.

THE MOHAMMEDANS.
Th© Queer Manner In Which They Ml*
t)p Religion and Murder.
The month of Ramadan, in which tho
first part of the Koran is said to havo
been revealed, is observed as a fust by
all Mohammedans. The fast extends
over the whole “month of raging heat”
and involves extraordinary self denial
and golf control. No food or drink of
any kind may be taken from daybreak
until the appearance of the stare at
nightfall.
Tho rigor witii which a Mohammedan
Observes this fast and the great gulf be
tween its observance and obedience to
tho moral code are both illustrated by a
story told in the life of one of the ho
rocs of India, Major .Tohn Nicholson.
While Nicholson in 1854 was deputy
commissioner in Bannu, a native killed
his brother and was arrested. Ho was
brought before Nicholson on a very hot
evening, looking parohod aud exhausted,
for ho had walked many miles, aud it
was the month of Ramadan.
“Why,” exclaimed Nicholson, “is it
possible that you have walked in fast
ing on a day like this?”
"Thank God,” answered the Ban
nuchi, "I am a good faster. ”
“Why did you kill your brother?”
“I saw a fowl killed last night, and
tho sight of tho blood put tho devil in
to me. ”
“He had chopped up his brother,
stood a long chase and been marched in
here, but he was keeping the fast, ”
wrote the commissioner to a friend, that
he might know what sort of blood
thirsty and bigoted people ho, Nichol
son, had to govern.
One day a wretched little child was
broujjSit before the commissioner. lie
had ban ordered by bis relatives of the
Waziri tribe to poison food.
“Don’t you know it is wrong to kill
people?” askod Nicholson.
“I know it is wrong to kill with a
knife or a sword, ” answered tho child.
“Why?”
“Because tho blood leaves marks, ”
answered tho trained poisoner.
A Pathau chief, wlio fell by Nichol
son’s side in a skirmish, left a littloson,
upon whom the English officer lavished
care and attention. One day tho 7-year
old boy asked his protector to grant him
a special favor.
“Tull mo first what yon want”
"Only your permission, sahib, to go
and kill my cousins, the children of
your and my deadly enemy, my uncle,
Fultri Khan. ”
“To kill your cousins?” exclaimed tho
Englishman, horrified at tho answer.
“Yes, sahib, to kill all the boys while
they are young. It is quite easy now. ”
"You little monster! Would you
murder your own cousins?”
“Yes, sahib, for if I don’t they will
Certainly murder mo. ”
Tho little boy wished to follow Pa
than usage aud thought it very hard
that his guardian should provent his
taking so simple a precaution.
DID THE GIRLS PAINT?
flow tho Question Was Decided and a
Bet Paid.
Two well known society swells went
to the Imperial theater one afternoon
when “East Lynne’’ was the bill. A
few evenings before there had been dis
cussed at their club the subject of wom
en painting their faces. Several girls
were mentioned who were suspected by
thoir admirers of wearing an artificial
carnation bloom. Others defended the
young damsels and said it was natural.
How to find out and win a wager
that was laid then and there was tho
subject of tho young meu'a visit to the
Imperial.
“East Lynno” Is a play which ought
to make all women cry, they reasoned,
for it makes even men’s thjjpats grow
thick. They sent tickets for reserved
seats to the girls under discussion, beg
ging them to invite whomsoever they
pleased of their acquaintances, as they,
the donors, would not be able to escort
them.
Tho ruse was successful. In on upper
box sat the young men ready to win of
lose the wager, and right below, in tho
parquet, where they could soe their
faces and every move of thoir hands,
Were the young women. There were six
of them, two of Whom shed copious
tears and hesitated not to wipe
them away with their handkerchiefs,
while tho other four never wiucod.
Among those who did not cry were tho
girls Snßpected of laying on the rod
pigment, and it was on jnst that evi
dence that tho bet hinged. That night
the wager was paid with a supper at
tho University club.— CSt, Louis Repub

She Will Toch Bonnet Making:.
Mila Valentine About, daughter of
Edmond About, -the author, is going to
open a “class in hat and bonnet mak
ing. ” Everybody in Paris is surprised
at the necessity for it, as (luring his
lifetime About kept open house in his
hotel oh tho Rue and Donai, and a fete
that ha gave to tho . --itnors’ society in
the chateau he had just bought ut Pon
toise is remembered as almost princ \y.
By what reverse of fortune Aboui’s
family were left destitute nobody seems
to know. Although ha himself began
life humbly as the son of a grocer, his
daughter was a brilliant young society
woman brought np in luxury, and every
body is admiring tho courage with
which she has undertaken to solve the
difficult problem of the “struggle tor
life.’’—Boston Woman’s .lournai.
Her Lucky Day.
A North Carolina paper says:
"A negro struck his wife two terrible
blow s on the head with aii ax. The
negro escaped to the woods, and hia
wife soon revived and said: ‘1 mighty
glad he done it, kase now he’ll stay
el’ar er de neighborhood en I won’t have
ter suppci’t him no mo’. It wua a lucky
day fer me w’ea be hit mo wid dat
ax!’ ”
Very few of tis areas Jbaukful as that
for these little blessings in disguise.—
