Qpmmmmjmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Unique Calamity. “What with forest (lies and j poor crops the settlers in our northern counties used to have a hard time of it,” said a Detroit commission merchant who was in | n reminiscent mood the other day, according to the Chicago Journal. “One day, years ago, when I was : looking after some busincs on the ‘Thumb,’ us it is called, 1 found that almost every farm I came to! was under mortgage. At one farm 1 found the owner looking I particularly troubled, and I asked him if his mortgage interest was; due and he couldn't pay it. “‘Worse than that, mister,’he I replied, as he looked up wearily, j “‘Sickness or death in the, family V “ ‘Worse that.' “ ‘Then it must be a calamity, indeed. You didn't lose family and homo by a forest tire?’ “ ‘Nope, but you arc right about it’s being a calamity. I’ve i been trying to think of the word for two hours past. Yes, sit, you can put-it down as an awful ca Inmitv.’ “ ‘Hut won't you explain?’ 1 persisted. “‘1 will, sir. There was a mortgage on my farm, and ! was feelin' as big as any one of my neighbors and fakin' tilings easy, when my wife was left $000. Stranger, dare I tell you what she did with that money?’ “ 'She didn’t lose it ?’ “ ‘.No’, sir. She jest paid that mortgage, houghl. two bosses and a plow, and this mornin’ I was bounced out of my own cabin be cause 1 wouldn’t peel o(T mv coat and go to work! Yes, sir, yon are right. It’s a calamity a calamity that’s land: d me on the outside, and between my durned pride and her blamed spunk somebody'll be eatin’ grass afore Sain relay nigh.4!’" ' > - I Little Johnny’s Problem. The bend of the family, with his beloved sweetbrier and bis favor ite mngiizene, had settled back in the rocker for a quiet, comfortable evening, says Lippincott’s. On the other side of an (inter vening table was the miniature counterpart of himself, the wrink ling of whoso 8-year-old forehead indicated that lie was mentally wrestling with some perplexing problem. After awhile bo looked toward his comfort toying parent and with a hopeless inflection, ask ed: “Pa?” “Yes, my son.” “Can the Lord make every thing?” “There is nothing, my son that He cannot do.” “Papa, could lie make a clock that would strike loss than one?” “Now, Johnny, go right up stairs to your imi, and don’t stop down here to annoy me when I’m reading.” Johnny went and wondered still. He Worked On. We—George, this burning of the candle at both ends means an untimely graye. It is nearly 12 o'clock. Come to bed.

Winding Shoals Electric Dow er Company. Pnder the above name Messrs. II. D. Jaquish of Gainesville, . 1) 11. and E. M. StanclifT of Atlanta, George W. Winslow and W. W. (hirhum of Chicago, have incorpor ated themsclycs for the purpose of developing the Winding Shoal power on the Chattahoochee river. They purpose to build an electric railroad from the shoals to Buford, and to generate and furnish power to Buford and contiguous points.

It is proper to say that the proportion of idle rich is certainly much less here thiyi in any other large country. The millionaires of the t inted Stales are mainly those who have created their own fortunes, and the man who has made iiis money is tlu 1 most reluctant c.f all meh to exercise his undoubted right of knocking off. lie goes on until he drops in the harness, as President Williams of the Chemical National Bank did, as doubtless that sprightly octos genarian, Russell Sage, will do.— Ju r say Stati' Gazette. Boston has put the automobile to a now use, notes the Louisville Courier-Journal. It has secured one of the machines, with an ex perience driver, and assigned it to a policeman, who makes a daily round of fifty or sixty miles. He has been far more successful in arresting criminals than the foot or mounted police, and the police department is so well pleased with the experiment that it proposes to have an automobile squad of six machines before the end of tho present month. A nest of young rabbits was plowed up out in Kansas, and a little girl took them home, but after getting tired of her pets she decided to feed them to the old family eat that had a number of kittens. Instead of the cat eat ing them, as was expected, she is raising them. The cat is said to think as much of the rabbits as she does of her kittens. Tile 1 Ion. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia., is reported to curry more life insurance than any other man. llis polices amount to over $2,r>00,000. Mrs. Iceland Stanford, of California, is the most heavily insured woman, carrying some> thing over $1,000,000. A‘Novel Hat. Rev. John Mathews, who was a pioneer Methodist preacher of Ala-1 hama. has been remembered for liis strict views and many pecu liarities, says Lippincott’s His wife, who was more liberal in hel* ideas, was fond of dress, and once sold a bureau and with the money bought a new hat. The following Sunday Brother Mathews, being disturbed at the beginning of bis discourse by several of the congregation turn ing to see the late arrivals, said: “Brethren and sisters, don’t bother to look around any more. I’ll tell you who comes in.” This he did, calling each one by name, much mortification of the tardy members. His wife was among the last, and when she walked down the isle he said: “Make way there for Sister Mathews. She is coming with a bureau on her head.” Any euscriber who will watch the advertisements of his home paper and take advantage of the inducements offered, will save many times the subscription price in the course of a year, cor rectly asserts an exchange, and adds that instead of the poor man saying he cannot afford to take liis home paper, he would come nearer the truth by declaring he cannot afford to do without it, for this if nothing else. At Arkansas City last week a man undertook to beat his wife with a chair and the lady blew a hole through his heart. Jaws Tightly Locfted From Nervous Sp&sms. Physicians Could Not Prevent Fits. Dr. Miles’Nervine Cured My Wife. Dr. Miles’ Nervine tins i>een successfully tried in thousands of cases of nervous elisor dcrs.but neycrlhas it made a better record than when used in the treatment of fits or spasms. Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in nearly every instance the writer has stated that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner vine was given. The statement is repeated in the following: “Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and I called in my home phvsician and lie said she was para lyzed. lie rubbed her with Salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in a short time she had another attack. She was confined to her lied for three months and the doctor could not help tier. She had fits frequently, some times very severe. I ter hands would cramp so we could not open them and she finally got so her jaws would become locked.

She has taken a number of bottler, hut has never had a fit since taking the fir*t dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills am is never without them.
