It isn’t fair to judge a woman by
either her relations or ner clothes.
The former are thrust upon her and
the latter are the best she can .buy
with her allowances.
By and by, if the thing keeps up,
we. may expect to see the divorce
cases written up in the society col
umns of the newspapers just like the
weddings.
The' case of the young woman who
is serving a term of Eight months in
the Fulton 00. ehuingang for vagran
cy, and who refuses a pardon unless
an old woman who befriended her is
pardoned also, reveals the pathetic
Side of proverty of which the multi
tude rarely hear.
Never lose faith in human nature.
This is a good place to be in, right
hero on this old earth. Lots of nice
folks here. too. The throuble is that
munv of us got a notion that we are
the only good people left in the world.
But we are not. When we get to
thinking that way, it is a sure sign
we need to t ake a trip out. into the
world and see what is going on there.
GIRI.B just because u young man
nas a buggy and a horse that can go
fast, do not conclude that he is just
the man you must have for a hus
band. Takes something more than
that to make a sensible girl haopy.
Look fora man. Don’t be in a hurry.
There are lots of thorn in the world,
only it takes a little time to find
them.
Governor Folk of Missouri was
caught, in the act of accepting a bribe
in exchange for a pardon. The pris
ioner was sent to jail for six years
for false registration, but does not
seem to have understood what he was
doing. His wife, with her three chil
dren, came to see the governor, but
he was still in doubt. The prison
er's 5-year-old daughter approached
him timidly and said, “If you let my
papa go I’ll give you a kiss." The
governor replied a trifle huskily ; “All
right, little girl, you shall take him
home with you."
Sometimes Just
But Often Severe.
i
There is no doubt that many judi
cial officers use their powers for ap.
pression, or to gain applause, and
sometimes they overshoot the mark,
here is a conspicuous cue. Last week
a nigger in Atlanta swapped a watch
for a horse. It afterwards turned
out that the horse was lazy or tired
and lay down in the street and re
fused to budge. After using all manner
of p ersuasion known to be usually
effective, and failing to move him tha
nigger swapped him to another nig
ger for the promise of a drink of whis
key. At this junction a policeman
came on the scene, and failing to get
either nigger to own the horse, had
it killed, and carried the niggers to
Judge Broiles court, where they were
promptly fined f0.75 each. Where
the puzzle comes iu is what had eith
er nigger done to merit a fioe.^
The Recorder’s court in Atlanta may
be a factor in restraining crime but
It smacks of tyranny and oppression,
md there are others of the same kind.
Song Of a Dream.
r"
In the quiet heart of night,
Softer, subtler than a sigh,
Fleeter than a ray of light,
(Starry light!)
: Tls a dream that goeth by.
Snare it? Nay, you may not snare
Such a thing with ear or eye;
As intangible as air,
(Crystal air!)
’Tis a dream that goeth by.
Oto hold it! Know it true !
That indeed, were Ectasy 1
’Tis a vision, sweet of you,
(Love, of you I)
’Tis a dream that goeth by.

A Fiery Speech.
William O’Brien in Ins “Bccollec
tions” gives this picture of Timothy
Ilealy’s first appearance in parliament:
“A quarter of an hour after he took his
sent ns member for Wexford be started
up to make bis maiden speecli -tlny of
frame, sardonic of visage, ids hands in
his breeches pockets, as coolly insolent
as a Parisian gamin, as entirely de
testable as a small Diogenes, peering
over ttie rims of his pincenez as from
his till), through bilious eyes over his
contemptible audience-—and horrified
tin* house of commons with the follow
ing exordium: ‘Mr. Speaker, if the
noble marquis (Ilartington) thinks he
is going to bully us with his high and
mighty Cavendish ways, all I can tell
him is he will find himself knocked into
a cocked hat in a jiffy, and we will
have to put him to the necessity of wip
ing tin* blood of all the Cavendishes
from his noble nose a good many times
before he disposes of us.’ ”
A Singular Dream.
A singular dream is related in a well
known British magazine. A woman
suffering from anxiety caused by re
duced circumstances dreamed that she
went to church. “The people began to
go out one by one. I looked around
and inquired why they were leaving
tl>e church. They said: ‘To look for the
magic bird in the churchyard. You
will always have luck if you find it.’ I
thought I would try to find it. went
out and swept away the fallen leaves
nml found a speckled thrush, and ns
soon as I took It up it dropped £1 in
my hand. The next morning I went
into our back garden and there among
the fallen leaves was the speckled
thrush, which had Just been killed by
a cat. It was yet warm. Isa%. ‘Here
is the magic bird, and the money I
know will come by post.’ The hope
was justified, for £1 came in the morn
ing ami a check from a friend in the
evening.”
The Unexpected.
A curious story is that of the late
Colonel Harry MeCnlmont of the Brit
ish army. He was a poor man when
he went to the reading of his uncle’s
will, hoping that perhaps the departed
might have remembered him to the
extent of an old watch. True euough,
the lawyer read out the words, “To
my nephew, Harry McCalmont, I leave
my watch and chain.” The legatee
was satisfied, and, leaning back, he
drowsed, lulled by the monotonous
tones of the lawyer as he read through
the long Instrument. At the close he
arose to go. “1 congratulate you,” said
the solicitor. “I don’t know why you
should,” said the other. “You are
residuary legatee,” remarked the law
yer. “You will have £4.000 annually
for the first five years from this date,
and afterward you will inherit some
£7,000,000.”

Power of Falling Water.
It is perfectly well knowu to every
one that water constantly dropping
upon a stone will wear It away. aiuS(
there is a trite old proverb regarding
tills fact. The force of a single drop of
water falling from a height is not
groat, but the results of this tiny blow
when it is many' times repeated are
astounding. There is a story of one
l>oor wretch who was bound with his
hack to a stone wall and had a stream
of water “of the bigness of a mans
finger” directed on to his bare head,
the water falling from a height of
about eighteen feet. The receptacle
from which this apparently harmless
stream trickled was a barrel holding
only twenty gallons, but before the
water had more than half run out the
man was dead, with a hole in his skull
which exposed the brain.—Popular Me
chanics.
A Beautiful Idea of the Drama.
I think I love and reverence all arts
equally, only putting my own just
above the others, because in it I recog
nize the union and culmination of them
all. To me it strains as if when God
conceived the worM that was poetry;
he formed it, and that was sculpture;
he colored it, and that was painting;
he peopled it with living beings, and
that was flic grand, divine, eternal
drams.—Charlotte Ofcshman.

A Thing of Many Names.
The Thames has been the cause of
much controversy. Its name has been
variously stated as Tame3es, Tamese,
Tamises (at the juncture of the Isis
and Tame, near Dorchester), Tamisa,
Tamesa, Thamisia, Tliamesis and final
ly Isis (where it flows between the Ox
fordshire and the Buckinghamshire
shores). Tlius at Oxford it is still of
ten called the Isis until it receives the
shallow' river Tame just below Doches
ter, from which point it is called
Thames. Historians trace this error
to an early attempted division of the
Latin word Tamesis into two words,
Tame esis or Tame isis, suggested per
haps by the existence of the Tame iu
Buckinghamshire. The Saxons called
it the Thames, ancient maps and docu
ments designating it Thamesis Fluvius.

Fresh Air.
Fresh air clears the cobwebs from
the brain, puts new strength into the
muscles, anew life into the blood, a
new lightness into the step. It brushes
away the petty ills that bother every
day life and helps one to bear with
greater patience. It strengthens the
shoulders for the burdens that are laid
upon them. It makes the hardest work
lighter and the hardest day brighter.
Easy.
‘‘Well,” pondered the new answers-to
correspondents editor: “I wonder how
to answer this. Here’s a subscriber
who wants to know what’s a good
thing to take ink stains out of white
flannel.”
“That’s easy,” replied the sporting
editor* “a pair of scissors.”^
The Ambitious Boy.
A hoy at seventeen can practically
determine for himself whether he will
lie a simple burden bearer for others
as long as ho lives, a leech on society
or whether he will be a broadminded,
useful and successful man. If the
boy at this age has no ambition to be
anybody and is content to simply let
things flicker and take iiis chance with
others just like him, frittering away
his opportunities to acquire knowledge
and caring only for the trivialities of
life, he can make up his mind to carry
a hod, ride the brake beam of a freight
car or dodge the police ns long as he
lives, or he can resolve to lie a
in the highest sense, seek every means!
for physical, mental and moral growth!
and development and must graduate!
Into the ever widening field of utility
and success. It matters little what
his boyhood environment may be, if he
but has the ambition and well ground
ed purpose he will climb out of it.—

Cinderella.
It was in ancient Egypt that the story
of Cinderella originated. Moderns,
however, owe the familiar nursery
story directly to the Frenchman,
Charles Perrault, whose “Cindrillon”
appeared at the end of the seventeenth
century. Perrault took his Cinderella
from earlier versions, which came no
doubt from the story of Rhodopis’ bath.
That Egyptian beauty had prepared to
bathe when an eagle swooped on one
of her slippers, carried it to Memphis
and dropped, it on the lap of King
Psammeticbus as he sat administering
justice. He admired it, had Egypt
searched for its owner, married her and
lived happy ever after.
