It Is nothing to say that the war nearly broke his heart. But It broke neither his faith nor the straight line of his work. Only a sort of rage pos sessed him to redeem and console France by working for her. "Hence forth,” he said, "every one of my books shall have written on it these words, Revenge, revenge, revenge." And this was his revenge, to set the name of France in the honors list of science higher than ever; to give the rest of his life to her service, and to wear himself out for her sake. Not Up-to-Date. HLhe historic town of Bladensburg, had a good bit of fun poked at Tt by reason of its alleged sleepiness. For instance, the story is told that a Bladensburg merchant was dozing in his shop one day when a litle boy came in with a pitcher and asked for a quart of milk. The merchant yawned, stretched himself, hall . opened his eyes, and then, in the ) most Injured tone, said: “Gee whiz. 'Ain’t there nobody that sells milk Cn this town but me?” I Liberia. ■ Liberia, the West African negro re public, was founded mainly through efforts of American quakers, or- HBnized under the title of the Penn- Rylvatfft CoVmist society. The chief bar to the development of Liberia is a law by which white men are not fallowed to hold property in the coun try. Capital has, therefore, gone else where and Liberia possesses none of the resources of modern civilization. Loose Shoes. Quite as bad as too tight shoes, against which wo are always warned, are too loose ones; they cause corns and bunions and often produce flat tening of the arches. The woman with the peculiarly shaped foot who cannot get shoes exactly to fit her except when made to order, should get them a little too long rather than a little too wide; it is the lesser of *.wo evils. Spreading Happiness. Happiness, at least, is not solitary; It Joys to communicate; it loves oth ers, for it depends on them for its ex istence; it sanctions and encourages to all delights that are not unkind in themselves. The very name and ap pearance of a happy man breathe of good nature, and help the rest of us to live.—Robert Louis Stevenson. The Modern Youngster. Johnny's father took him to the of fice, and there the youngster saw the stenographer come in late and take the cover off her typewriter. “Look at that!” exclaimed Johnny. “She lifted the garage right oft the ma chine.” Home and Happiness. To earn money and pay bills seems to occupy most of a man’s time, and he wonders why his home isn’t hap- Jy. When he learns to earn love and pay attention to his home, happiness will ooze into his home through every crack and keyhole. Catching On. Timid Lover (glancing at his watch) —“Well, I must be going, Miss Dora. Time presses.” Miss Dora (losing all patience)—“l suppose so —nothing else presses! . . . How dare you! Stop, .George, you are mussing my hair.” ! Crisis in Life. “It's a crisis in a young man’s life,” says the Philosopher of Folly, “when he has to decide whether to make a girl angry by trying to kiss her, or to make her angry by not trying ” Test of Friendship. He who betrays another’s secret be cause he has quarreled with him was never worthy of the name of friend; a breach of kindness will not justify a breach of trust. Not Quite-. “What a blessing civilization has been to the world! Consider for a moment the bloody sports- of ancient Rome —” “Why, what’s the mattei with an automobile cup race?” PROFESSIONALS. DR.

He would nave been seventy-six years old on November 22 next. Allen D. Candler was a cousin of Asa G., Bishop Warren A. and Judge John S.

DATE FOR POULTRY SHOW. Association Fixes Dates and Entry Fees and Selects Judges. Atlanta.—A meeting of the board of directors, followed by a meeting of the Georgia Poultry association, was held here. The show will be held January 9- 15. The committee decided to make the entry fee $1 for single birds and $3 for pens, and to offer cash prizes of |2.50 for firsts, $1.50 for seconds and 75 cents for thirds. C. A. Emery and F. J.

Agricultural Commissioner Hudson Gives Out Statement. Atlanta. —According to Commis sioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson, who has just been traveling over Georgia inspecting the cotton crops, the crop will be about one-third short this year. Says Mr. Hudson: “The South Georgia crop is prob ably showing the most normal aver age of any section of the state. There is no doubt that the crop is about one-third short. The season would have undoubtedly have shown a larg er decrease had it not been for tne exceptionally fine fall." Atlanta. —A special bulletin dealing With the boll weevil is being prepar ed by State Entomologist E. L- Wor sham and will be Issued soon by the commissioner of agriculture. The purpose of the publication is to arouse interest in the meeting to be field in Atlanta November 23, when (.he chamber of commerce and the Southern Conference of Agricultural commissioners will devote a day to the discussion of the boll weevil. Atlanta.—Jesse B. Lee, a well-known city official, lost a bet in the city election by virtue of which he is sworn neither to shave or trim his beard in twelve months Mr. Lee al ready has a thick bristly growth all over his cheeks and chin. If the beard keeps on growing at the rate it started he will look like Rip Wan Winkle after his eventful sleep, or like Sampson before his locks were shorn by the deceitful Delilia. Mr. Lee made a bet with C. S. McNeely, on the city engineer’s race, and lost. 3URIED TREASURE IN ATLANTA. Document Found in Virginia Reveals the Hiding Place. Atlanta.—All adventurous and ro mantic Atlanta has gone wild in a search for buried treasure. A regu lar Captain Kidd Stevenson mystery has suddenly developed in this very community, coming without warning over the wires, and people are still holding their breaths won dering if it can be true. “Go to my house in the cellar. To the right you will find a post; take it up; dig four feet and you will find a box containing $5,000 in gold. My skeleton you will find in the river.” “(Signed) DR. HAMMOND." "Sherman streee, Atlanta, Ga.” According to dispatches from Wash ington a tin box containing that mes sage was found recently on the Vir ginia shore of the Potomac river by a twelve-year-old boy named Howard Dunn, who lives at Congress heights. The boy took the note home and open ed it in the presence of his family. When the note was discovered, the father decided to inform the Washing ton police, and they immediately tel egraphed Atlanta. The police have thus far failed to locate any Doctor Hammond who could have disappear ed mysteriously in recent years. There is no Sherman street in At lanta now, but old-timers dimly re member that some street in Atlanta, before the war was at one time thus designated. The lact that the street cannot be located is leading to gener al speculation and search. ATLANTA RACES BIG EVENT. Forty Thousand Dollars Spent to Make This Meet the Best Ever. Atlanta.—November 3, 4 and 5 on the asphalt-gravel, two-mile track the Atlanta Automobile association will get under way the greatest race meeting of stock chassis cars that the world has ever known. There Is no getting away from the magnitude of this coming event. Never before in the history of rac ing have so many cars been entered in one meet. Another distinction of the coming meet, is that it will be beyond ques tion the most expensive race meeting of any kin dever given in the world. The original appropriation for the meet was $25,000. But the amount will prove inadequate and the affair will cost $40,000 if it costs a penny— and may run a good deal more. And all this money is being spent for three days’ of speedway sport. The cost of each day will run close to $15,000. DID REMARKABLE SHOOTING. Private of Fifth Regiment Punctured Reclining Figure. Atlanta. —There has just been is sued in the shape of a postal card photograph a record of some of the most remarkable shooting that has ever been done on a Georgia rifle range. The photograph is of a reclining skirmish figure about two feet and a half high, in which twenty white punc tures indicate as many shots made by V. B. Burpitt, private in Company K, Fifth infantry, regiment, National Guard of Georgia. This perfect skirmish score on a reclining figure has seldom been made in the history of rifle shooting. The shots were fired at unknown dis tance, beginning at 660 yards and ev ery three seconds, so that the entire twenty shots were fired in the course of a minute, with short running be tween. Seven of these shots struck togeth er in almost the same place on the figure, though each is distanct in it self, and any one of the seven would have grazed or pierced the heart had the reclining figure been a man. Atlanta. —The Atlanta Baptist asso ciation will begin in several districts just like a regular census of this city. The city will be laid off in districts just like a regular census would be taken, made by volunteers from the church. It is expected that several hundred will be so engaged and that the work will be acomplished in one day, as was recently the case in Chi cago. Facts as to church attendance and Sunday schools will be secured as accurately as possible. This ac tion is in line with the general world wide movement of religious bodies to put their work on a practical working basis to reach those who do not at tend airj religious service.. Atlanta. Governor-elect Hoke Smith is in receipt of a telegrant from the Texas-Georgia society, which was organized at the state fair in Terrell, Texas, sending him greet ing and inviting him to address the society at the Dallas exposition in 1911. He was unanimously elected an honorary member of the society at the organization meeting. The of ficers of the society are: Bishop Jos eph Key, president, Sherman; A. S. James, secretary, Dallas, and Luther Ellison, assistant secretary. Terrell. DIY SMS IE WEI COMMISSIONER CABELL’S REPORT WILL SHOW INTERESTING FIGURES ON LIQUOR. STAMPS WORTH $105,000 Sale of Internal Revenue Liquor Stamps Show That Liquor is Still Sold in the “Dry” States. Washington.—The law in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and a part of South Carolina may be dry, just ?.s dry as Blackstone is to the aver age law student, but tne ary belt ia limited to the law, ana tne people are wet, as wet as "Georgia corn” and the “mountain aew” of "Ole Ken tuck," according to tne reports of revenue collectors in tuese prohibi tion states made to their chief at Washington. These reports are fairly steeped in liquor. They tell not only of "booze ’ being made, but lor sale, both in small and large quantities. In another month. Commissioner Cabell will make public his annual report, in which he will quote figures furnished by collectors of internal revneue in these states, showing the number of special tax stamps whlcn uave been sold in the past year, along with the amounts yielded therefrom. A majority of these were sold to re tailers. It is estimated that in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and a small part of South Carolina the receipts ironi the sales of these .special tag .tamps will amount to approximately (105,000 for the fiscal year which end- June 30 last. In Alabama, the sale of retail stamps amounted to approximately (31,000, and on tue combined sale i/f retail and wholesale, $386,000. In Georgia there was a combined sale uf $40,568 worth of stamps. Of this amount, only about $2,500 was receiv i d for wholesale stamps. North Car olina conies next, owing to it being a whole dry state. South Carolina purchased more stamps, but several counties in South Carolina operate dis pensaries, and this naturally increases the number of speeial retail stamps, it is estimated $16,000 worth of both kinds of stamps were sold in North Carolina in the past year. Of this amount $14,500 was received from re tailers. Drug merchants were the Heaviest buyers. South Carolina will show a combin ed sale of about $20,800 worth of stamps. Like North Carolina, the bulk of the stamps were purchased by retailers. In this case, however, the county dispensary was the heavy buyer, with the druggists next. Revenue officers state that the sale of these special stamps is causing fric tion between the state and Federal au thorities, but point out that nothing can be done to remedy the matter. Commissioner Cabell refers all com plaining prohibitionists to the consti tution, which provides for such tax. It is stated that the sale of the stamps aids the county, city and state officials in prosecuting violators of the state laws. THIS PROHIBITION PROHIBITS Governor Stubbs Says There’s Not a Saloon in Kansas. Kansas City, M. —Gov. W. R. Stubbs of Kansas addressed a mass meeting at Convention hall here in behalf of the proposed state-wide pronibition amendment, which will be voted on at the November election. The purpose of the governor’s speech was to answer the argument issued by anti-prohibition leaders that prohibition has injured Kansas, and that the law is not enforced In that state. “If any brewer or distiller,” declar ed Governor Stubbs, “can show me a saloon or open joint in Kansas 1 will close it at once or resign.” The speakers read letters from may ors and judges in various parts ol Kansas to prove that the prohibitory law is effective, and that since it has been rigidly enforced bank deposits have increased, crime has decreased, real estate has risen in value and gen eral business conditions have snv proved. Minneapolis Census Padded.

Mr. Durand said that, as originally forwarded to the bureau, the report contained 306,706 names. Rioting in New York Strike. New York City.—The metropolitan district is in the grip of an express strike. Nine companies are now af fected; more than 6,000 men are out, and rioting continues. A special or der was Issued at police headquarters holding practically the entire New York police force, of more than 9,000 men, in reserve for an emergency.
