Poor old Custro. Out of the frying pan into the fire, Reports from Mexico say Col. * Bryan is meeting with a hearty re* ception in that country. The Sultan ot Morocco seems to have some enemies who are de* termined lo worry him some. The new year ot 1903 is now belore us, and it is every man’s duty to deterrame in his own mind to make it a better year than the one proceeding. Accidents from fire works und toy cannon* seem to huve been less this Chistmas than on previous ones. Probably the people qre learning trom experience. Christmas was celebrated in Vienna in lively style. The spirit of tfie occasion seemed to pervade everybody, and ull seemed to be set on enjoying themselves to the Utmost degree. Those Venezuelans are determ* {tied to have a war of some sort going on, and seeing that they could not have a foreign one, they got up another rebellion against the government. From all over the country come reports of one of the most prosper* ous Christmas trajies fer years. This fact goes a long way in dem* onstruting the general prosperity of the people. Frank A. Munsey, the great ublisher, has gone into the news* aper business with a vim, and if e is as successful in publishing tern as he has been in the maga* ine field, his name will go down v history as the greatest newspa* er man this country has ever reduced. DOMESTIC HAPPINESS. The man who is happy and contented in his domestic relations is, indeed, to be envied.' He who enjoys the confidence and loyalitv of a pure and virtuous wife has more cause of joy than the possessor ot hoarded millions. The man who can go to his little home after his day’s vjork is done, and be wel* * corned at the door by a loving kiss and embrace and sit down to a pleasant little meal, prepared by loving bands that have took great care to prepare just the things he likes best and cooked them just in the manner that he most fancies is, indeed, one of the most fortunate of human beings. It is a pleasant thing, in this day of divorces and domestic unbappi ness, to see a home where love reigns supreme. To see a husband whose only thoughts areof his wife; who loves and cherishes her, and is loyal and true to her out of her sight as well as when he is in her presence. Who can fold her to his heart a*nd truthfully tell her of his love; who can implant kisses on her precious lips with no thought but of her. A true und loving wife iM the most priceless gift God ever gave to a man. There is nothing on earth that can bring such happiness to him as the pure and noble love oi a virtuous and innocent woman. Happy is the man who rests secure in the love and confidence of his wife. Scandals among the royality are becoming more numerous every day. Yet American girls with rich daddies are ready and anxious to marry the first thing that comes along with a title attached to it. The opinion that the Sunday newspaper is supplanting the magazine seems to be gaining ground. , Some of. the Sunday editions ot the doily press lay many magazines in, the snude. Theaters and all public buildings in which the people are expected to assemble should be erected so there would be absolutely no dang* er from fire. The cry of fire in a crowded theater generally means th"b death and serious injury of many people. . Many are the men and women with joy in their hearts today be* cause of some kind act of chatity performed during Christmas. Giving to those in need and causing them happiness is a source of more reul joy than can be had from all the money in the country. The story published in the At lanta Journal of the little tot whose father was sick and who wrote a letter to that paper in fear that Santa Claus would overlook her was one of the sweetest instances of charity we have ever known. The persons who brought joy to iliat poor little motherless tot are worthy to wear crowns of gold. Is it impossible in this day to get together us mauy as a dozen men who are honest? The coin mission which was appointed three years ago to examine, survey and report on a route for a canal are being charged with drawing enor mous salaries for work which they uever performed. It is claimed the members have only done a few weeks work, but they have drawn salaries for three years. The head of the cominissiou has drawn $15 000 per year and the others drew $13,000 each per year for doing absolutely nothing with the ex ception of a few days work in all the three years.

Keene soys: "The city man seems to think the rural printer has naught to do but dream away the golden hours; only wak* ing when the musical tones of a perfectly satisfied subscriber urges him to accept the price of his pa per for two years in advance, be sides leaving a bushel or two of npples and a big yellow pumpkin. All is peace and sunshine. He is supposed to leisurely arise ubout seven o’clock in the morning and after a breakfast provided by the recipients of occasional “puffs," meanders from his “own home" d^wn to his “own office," glances over a few exchanges before re ceiving a committee appointed by the citizens to inquire after his health and to convey to him their undying gratitude for honoring) them with his presence in the community." Macon is excited over kaolin. This is a substance of earth which is found in great quantities near that city and is excellent for the manufacture of brick and pottery. A. large compauy with ample capital is being organized for the purpose of utilizing these immense deposits of the s.uff and manufac turing it into articles of usefulness. =$25.00= IN COLD CASH filVEN AWAY.
