I*. S. GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOE COTTON TAK EN BY SHERMAN. United States court of claims lias handed down a judgment awarding $176,666,79 to stock holders of the Old Importing and Exporting Company ot the State of Georgia, for cotton seized by Sherman in his mem orable march to the sea in 1805. The litigation was instituted shortly after the civil war. When Sherman's army en tered Savannah the company had great quantities of cotton in warehouses. General Sher man ordered it confiscated. Some of it was used by the army, but the greater portion was shipped to Boston and sold there. The proceeds from the sale were deposited in the l ni ted States treasury and the money' has been kept intact. The supreme court in the early days after the war held that the monev belonged to the claim ants. The loyalty test statute barred practically every south ern man interested. The loy alty test was removed by con gress in 1905. PRESIDENTIAL VOTE FOE INDIANA WOMEN. The bill giving presidential suffrage to women in Indiana, has been passed by the Indiana sentae, 14 to 3.

The total strength of the United States army on Novem ber 11, when tin* armistice was signed and when the American war effort was at its peak was 3,703,273 officers and men, in cluding the marine corps on du ty with the army in Europe.

On November 1, when the en emy's reserves bad been ex hausted and bis front line strength reduced by about half, the allies had rifle strength of 1,485,000, representing odds of upward of two to one.

THE HIGHEST CLASS TALKING MACHINE IN TIIE WOULD jrx 'JkjA A- critical comparison of all Phonographs a R invariably results in favor of the SONORA I PI * and some of the features which have helped sf to build up the wonderful reputation which SONORA has justly earned are as follows: TONE QUALITY—At the Panama-Pacific International Ex position, 1915, SONORA was awarded the highest score for Tom* Quality, in competition with all the well known makes of Phonographs on the market. Tone is the essence of a Phonograph, and in no in stance does the Sonora excel to a greater degree. TONE CONTROL —Every Sonora instrument is equipped with a Tone Modifier, protected by the patent rights. Tone must be modi fied, NOT MUFFLED, it must be controlled at its source. This is the Sonora way. Sonora Tone is modified without interfering with the quality of reproduction. TIME-AMPLIFIER —Madjt* of wood throughout, the Sonora tone amplifier is perhaps the most expensive part of the Sonora instru ment, with the exception of the Cabinet and Motor, the soul of the Stradivari is its wooden tone chamber, and so it is with the Sonora. MOTOR —Sonora Motors arc of the finest construction possible, and run with a precision and silence that is quite uncommon in Pho nographs, and in power or running time, they have no equal. Sonora Motors run from 15 to 30 and 50 minutes with one winding. SOUND BOX —As much care is taken in the selection of the ma terials and in the assembling of the Sonora Sound Box as in the finest watch, the watch is made to register accurately to the second, or even possibly to the tenth of a second. A Sonora Sound Box is made to per form even a more difficult task —to record hidden sounds from fine tin dulations, which cause hundreds of vibrations each second. UNVERSALITY —Sonora instruments are equipped with a re versible or miners, tube, which enables the playing of Steel Needles, Diamond or Sapphire Records withoutchanging of tubes. Then there is the Sonora Envelope Filing System, remarkable for its simplicitv and neatness, Sonora Automatic Stop, Simple and accu rate, The CERTIFICATE of GUARANTY, guaranteeing the instru ment as to perfection of operation, aterials and workmanship. Consider the above points of superiority, and your choice MUST be the “SONORA.” For sale by W. T.

Talcing his hand gently, he said, “Well, my brother, is there anything 1 can do for you?” He supposed, of course, the young fellow would want to cry to God for help in his extrem ity; but it was not so. “Chaplain,” said lie, “I want you to cut a lock of hair for my mother, and then, chaplain, 1 want you to kneel down and re turn thanks to God for me.' “For what?" asked tin; chap lain. “For giving me such a mother. Oh! she is such a good mother. Her teachings are my comfort now. Ami then, chaplain, thank God that by his grace I am a Christian. What would I do now if 1 were not a Chris tian? And thank him for giv ing me dying grace. He makes this hard bed feel ‘soft as downy pillows are.’ And, ah! chaplain, thank Him for the promised home in glory 111 soon be there.” “And so,” said the chaplain, •■I knelt by his bed with not it petition to utter, only praises and thanksgiving for a good mother, a Christian hope, dying grace and an eternal home in glory.”—(’hristian Observer. 500,000 MEN ARE IDLE IN THE UNITED STATES.

WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN? There* is an interesting corre spondence in the l'all Mall Ga zette on “What is a Gentle man?” The Rev. W. A. Carroll, vicar of Uriekley Kent, contrib utes tin* following reminisc ence : “•I remember hearing Arch bishop Temple say that he was challenged to prove that St. Paul knew what a gentleman was. He immediately quoted Horn. 12:10: “He kindly affec tioned one to another, with brotherly love, in honor prefer ring one another.' I have til ways felt that ,as a definition of ti gentleman, it would be ha r and to heat.” —Southern < 'hurchman. MV CREED. I believe that the country, which God made is more beauti ful than the city, which man made; that life out of doors and in touch wit hthe earth is the natural life of man. I believe that work is work wherever we find it, but that work with na ture is more inspiring thu work with the most intricate machin ery. 1 believe that the dignity of labor depends, not on what you do, but how you do it: that opportunity conies to a boy on the farm as often as to a boy in the city; that life is larger and freer and happier on the farm than in the town; that my suc cess depends not upon my loca tion bn utpon myself—not upon my dreams, but upon what I ac tually and upon luck, but upon pluck. I believe in work ing when you work, an din play ing when you play, and in giv ing and demanding a square deal i ncvery act of life. —Edwin Osgood Grover. MAKER OF A REAL HOUSE. Your house is your fortress in a warring world. Th ebeauty of a house is har mony. The security of a house is loy- Ity. The joy of a house is love. The plenty of a house is in children. The rule of a house is service. The comfort of a house is in contented spirit. The rat sand mice in a house are envy and suspicion. The makers of a house of a real human house, is God himself, the same who made the stars and built the world. —Dr. Frank Crane. How to Get Rich.
