Rev. J. W. Roberts is trying to raise
an endowment fund for Emory College,
and his efforts have been remarkably
successful. During the last three
months he has raised about $25,000
and has organized a number of local
alumni societies which will be instru
mental in raising much more. Mr.
Thomas J Pearce, of Columbus, gave
$5,000 to the Emory fund a few days
ago. Mr. Pearce is not a rich man,
and it is thought that his liberality will
stir up some of the wealthy friends of
Georgia’s noblest institutions —Macon
Telegraph.
It will be remembered that Mr.Rob.
erts raised $1500 here a month or so
ago. We-are glad to learn of his suc
cess in his good wtjjjjc.
MR. ANlpMRsTloWSER.
Bowser Speaks Slightingly of His
Wife’s Business Methods, but—
From the Detroit Free Press.
I wanted to send off for a ladyji
fashion magazine, aud a dozen differ
ent occasions I begged of Mr. Bowser
to write the letter aud send off the
money. He kept promising and neg
lecting, man like, but one evening he
said:
"Give me the nanis of that maga
zine aud I will get a letter off' to
morrow."
"It’s gouc,” I answered.
“Who sent it?”
“I did.”
“Humph! Do you mean to tell me
that you wrote a business letter?”
“I do. I ordered the magazine and
sent in a year’s subscription.”
“What did you write?”
“Oh, in the usual form.”
“Aud chucked the 82 into the let
ter, I suppose ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, that’s about what I should
expect of you. You’ll never sec cither
money or magazine again.”
“I wont? Why?”
“Because, in the first place, it stood
just as good a chance of going to some
machine shop as a magazine office,
with your style of directing an envel
ope ; aud because, secondly, if some
post-office officiil doesn’t steal the
money, they gobble it at the end
of the route and swear they never got
it. Mrs. Bowser, you arc as simple
as a child.”
“But it may come all right.”
“Yes, and we may discover a box
of gold in the back yard, There’s hut
one way to do business.”
“How’s that?”
“See this P. O. monoy order for 838?
I am gdng to send that to Boston to
morrow. It will go straighter than a
crow, and there is no cause for worry.
However, it’s useless to try to learn a
woman how to do business.”
Three or four days went by, and
then he suddenly inquired:
“Have you heard from that maga-
ziue, Mrs. Bowser?"
“Not yet.”
“I suppose not. Wheu you do hear
please-let mi know. After forty or
fifty experiences of this sort you may
learn how to do business,”
Two days later he asked me again,
and I was then able to show him a
letter acknowledging receipt of the
money, and a copy of the magazine.
“It seems to have gone through,”
he said as he handed the letter back,
“but that was owing to Providence.
Probably the parties had heard of me
and hesitated to defraud you for fear
I’d raise a row.”
business, wasn’t it.”
“Of course it was, and of course it
got there all right. I’ll probably get
a letter to-morrow.”
When the morrow came I asked
him if he had heard from his order.
“Not exactly,” he replied, “blit I
am certain that it got there safe.”
“But they ought to acknowledge
it."
“Y-e-s.”
“There is but one wiy of doing
business, Mr. Bowser. When I send
off money I receive an acknowledg
ment of its arrival. You are sure
you sent it?”
“Sure T sent it? Do you take me
for a lunatic, Mrs. Bowser?”
“But it’s so queer.”
“I don't see anything so queer about
it. I wrote again two days ago, and
I shall have a letter to-morrow beg
ging my pardon for the delay."
A letter arrived next day. I saw
by Mr. Bowser’s perturbation when
he came home that something was
wrong, and he finally handed me the
letter. It read:
“No postoffice order has been re
ceived from you. Please do not try
any more chestnuts on us.”
“But you did send it,” I protested.
“Of course I did.”
“Directed your letter all right?”
“Certainly.”
“Stamped and posted it?”
"Look here, Mrs. Bowser, you talk
as if I didn’t know enough to get
aboard a street car and pay my fare! ’
“But it’s so queer. There is but
one business way of doing business,
Mr. Bowser. After forty or fifty
experiences of this sort you may learn
how to do business.”
He' glared at me and was too insult
ed to reply. He went to the post-
office aud made complaint, and for
the next two weeks that lost order
was the topic of conversation. The
officials sought to trace the letter, and
Mr. Bowser made, affidavits to this
and that, and the hunt was still going
on when, in dusting off his secretaiv
anil straightening up his loose pipers,
I found a letter sealed and addressed
to the Boston firm. I had no doubt
it contained the missing order. I
quietly handed it to Mr. Bowser as
he. came up to dinner, and his face
turned nil colors before he could open
it.
“Mr. Bowser,” I said, “you men
folks have curious wavs of doing busi
ness. It is sing”—
“I’d like to know how this letter
got here!” he demanded.
“You left it here, of course.”
“Never! Because I scolded you
about your careless way of sending off
money, and because you wanted to
get even with me for it, you took this
letter from my pocket and detained
it. Mrs. Bowser, this is the last straw
to the camel’s load! Do you want
alimony or a lump sum?”
Next day he was all right again,
and he even stopped at the sale and
brought me up half a dozen pairs of
gloves.
A queer little insect, the Texas flea,
having killed out the quail around
Albany, has turned its attention to
the poultry. They arc particularly
fatal to ducks, fastening themselves
only upon their heads and eating
their way into the brains. They at
tack no other portion of the body, and
are very difficult to get off, as they
burrow at once beneath the skin.
They are similar in appearance to the
common flea, but arc only about half
the size, aud do not hop. It is sup
posed that this destruotivo little pest
was brought here upon the burros and
bronchos brought in such numbers
from the Lone Star State. Tlicv at
tack dogs and other auimals. They
are proof against insect, powders and
insect drops, carbolip ointment being
the only thing that will destroy them.
From being one of the best poultry
markets in the State, Albany is be
coming one of the poorest.
“Were there any deadly weapons
concealed about him?" inquired the
Coroner.
“Nothing but this," replied the
witness. And amid the profound
silence of the spectators lie placed a
flask of Iowa whisky on the table.
It was a clear case of suicide.
