AMBASSADOR PAGE FINDS HOME
At last it seems that Ambassador
Page has decided upon a residence in
Rome. This has not been an easy
matter for two reasons. Mrs. Page
wished to have a garden, and the most
exaggerated rumors had got about in
regard to the rages’ wealth.
Hence the sums asked for inferior
places were enormous. It is a fixed
idea of every Italian that every Amer
ican is rolling in money and does not
mind parting with it. While the former
may be true of Mr. Page, he is certain
ly a man who would not allow himself
to be swindled by a landlord.
He has finally decided upon a house
that has already been inhabited by two
American ambassadors, Henry White
and Lloyd Griscom. It is really a
princely apartment in the Palazzo del
Drago, comprising the w hole first floor.
The suite has largo, reception rooms
and a long white hall where large
formal dinners are given.
.The Palazzo del Drago has interest
ing historical traditions, as the family of del Drago, one of the oldest in Rome,
dating hack to 1133, is also one of the most aristocratic. It was in the Palazzo
del Drago that the daughter of Queen Cristina of Spain lived after her mar
riage with Prince del Drago. There are many relics of her regime in the
apartment Mr. Page has taken, notably some chairs, which are still surmount
ed with tlio royal crown.
AUSTRIA’S MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS
Count Leopold Perchtold, minister
of foreign affairs and chancellor of
Austria-Hungary, who but yesterday
was the best abused man in the dual
empire, has become literally overnight
an object of the greatest popular en
thusiasm and admiration.
It has suddenly been brought home
to his countrymen that he is a past
master in the nrt of statecraft and
diplomacy, and that they owe him a
debt of gratitude for the clever way
in which he safeguarded their inter
ests beyond their borders during the
lust two years.
This revulsion of feeling, so start
ling in its suddenness, has been
brought about, not by any utterance
of the cqunt, who remains as reticent
and as enigmatical as heretofore, but
by the publication in the Matin—
most enterprising and affluent of all
the great Parisian newspapers—of
the terms of the Becret treaties unit
ing the lialkan allies in their coalition
against Turkey, and also of their equally secret agreement with Russia in this
connection. How the Matin obtained these documents does not concern us.
The authenticity of the agreements is beyond question. f
Theta treatiqir'show, f«fr the first time, twit Pie coalition of the Balkan
states was organized by Russia, and that while the war against Turkey for
the liberation of the Christians in Europe was the pretext of the Bund and
the means adopted to unite the kingdoms of Servia, Montenegro, Greece, and
Bulgaria, its real and ultimate aim was avowedly against Austria.
Russia undertook by the terms of these agreements to furnish the Balkan
state with all the war material that they needed—not for their attack upon
Turkey, but for their operations against Austria—to communicate to them all
information in her possession concerning the military movements and plans
ol Austria, to protect them from any attack from Turkey.
LONG IN DIPLOMATIC CORPS
Ambassador Rookhlll, who has
been representing the United States
in Turkey, has presented his letter of
recall, and thus ends the career of the
oldest member, from point of service,
of the American diplomatic corps. Mr.
Rockhill has held 14 commissions in
connection with American foreign af
fairs, besides having contributed val
uable information to science, gained
from exploring expeditions through
Tibet and other countries while on
leave from the diplomatic service. The
present treaty governing relations be
tween China and the United States is
the work of his hand. He was the
commissioner of the United States in
preparing the protocol that ended the
Boxer uprising in China. Mr, Rockhill
is regarded as one of the foremost au
thorities on Chinese matters. He was
one of the first white men to travel
through Tibet, and his knowledge of
the Chinese border questions and fa
miliarity with Russian views upon this
his services invaluable to the state
department.
SAYS TANGO IS SYMPTOM OF DISEASE
"The tango is one symptom of the so
cial disease we are trying to cure—not
the tango itself, but the making a
craze of it,” said Winston Churchill
in an interview at Chicago a few days
ago. The celebrated novelist smiled
when he was asked for his opinion of
the modern dress of women. "It is the
apotheosis of all that is frivolous and
-luxurious in our modern civilization,”
:he said. ‘‘It is a representation of
•something that we are trying to get
rid of.”
fl Mr. Churchill was more inclined to
ilk of the influence of religion upon
lie modern university student. “There
u movement in theology that is go-
g on very rapidly,” he said. "It is
le interpretation of religion in the
arms of modern science and philoso-
4y. v
‘The modern university Btudent in
sists upon having everything squaring
-that is, a ‘unity of mind.’ If he
Barns his religion in the terms of an-
ent science and philosophy, goes to the university and has this science and
Mlosophy discredited, then he throws over the religion with them. You can
ake a university student an agnostic at a stroke or a believer at a stroke.
“There is a tremendous oynthetlc movement going on today which is edu-
donal in which religion Is revealed as the central and animating core. It is
be fountainhead and motive power in politics and sociology, economics and
modern departments of life.”
SOUTH WINS FIRST HONORS
Harrison of Southern Praises Boys
and Girls Who Set Record in
Corn and Tomato
Yields.
Washington.—Commenting on the
statement issued by the United States
department of agriculture, showing
tile results attained by the boys and
girls who won prizes in the Boys’
Corn Clubs and Girls’ Canning Clubs,
in their respective states, in the sea
son of 1913, President Harrison of the
Southern Railway company, said:
“While the work done by the boys
and girls in all of the states was re
markable, it is very gratifying to me
to note that first honors, both in the
Boys’ Corn Clubs and the Girls’ Can
ning Clubs went to states traversed by
the lines of the Southern railway sys
tem. The wonderful record made by
Jerry Moore of Soutli Carolina, who
grew 238.75 bushels of corn on a sin
gle acre in 1910, directed attention
to the great advantages of the South
eastern states as a corn-growing io- I
caiity. Now comes Walker Lee Dun-
son of Alabama, with a record of 232.7
bushels on a single acre, setting a new
mark for the members of the Boys’
Corn Clubs throughout the United
States. The superiority of the South
east for corn production is demon
strated not only by Walker Dunson’s
remarkable record, hut also by the
fact that the yields obtained by the
prize-winning boys in each of the
states of Virginia, North Carolina,
Soutli Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Tennessee exceeded yie highest yield
obtained by any boy in a Northern or
Western state.
“No less remarkable than the rec
ord made by Walker Dunson in the
corn club work was that made by
Miss Clyde Sullivan of Georgia, who
grew 5,354 pounds of tomatoes on a
tentli of an acre, surpassing by 1,374
pounds the highest record made by
any girl in the North or West. Other
Southeastern girls did remarkably
well, notably Miss Lizzie Kelley, of
South Carolina, with a record of 4,-
375 pounds on a tentli of an acre.
“Token as a whole, the records of
the Southeastern boys and girls dem
onstrate the superior agricultural and
horticultural advantages of the South
eastern states, not only for purely
Southern crops which are usually as
sociated in the public mind with the
North and West. They demonstrated
that the states south of the Ohio and
Potomac rivers and east of the Mis
sissippi offer unsurpassed advantages
for the man seeking to engage in prof
itable diversified agriculture.”
Man Milks Cow in Skirts.
Word comes to Atlanta of a farm
er named Frank Stoddard, who has
to put on skirts and a sunbonnet ev-
eby time he milks his co- ' M ^
/The cow, a particularljnme Jersey,
was purchased a short time ago from
two maiden ladies, Misses Jennie and
Alice Case. For a number of years
passed they had milked the cow reg
ularly, and the gentlest of bovtnes had
never been touched by a rough male
hand.
Stoddard bought it, knowing it to
be absolutely gentle, and was there
fore astounded the first morning he
went to milk it, when the cow gave
one frightened glance at him, kicked
over tlie bucket, and jumped the
fence.
II was the Misses Case who sug
gested the expedient of the skirt and
sunbonnet, and now Soolde stands just
as calmly for Mr. Stoddard as site
used to stand for the Case sisters.
Divorce Record Broken.
All records for new divorces filed

Thomasville.—There have been
more pecan nuts shipped out of
Thomasville to other markets this
year than ever before, and it seems
probable now that in a few years the
shipment of nuts by carload lots will
he ono of the standard businesses of
this section. The nuts sent front here
went to the north and middle west,
where they found ready sale. These
nuts were of the large paper shell
variety, and retailed in the cities
where sold at from 50 cents to $1
a pound. The shipment of the trees
for planting is on now and all the
nurseries through this section report
large sales, showing that the planting
of pecan groves is still popular.
Macon.—The state convention of
the Farmers’ Union of Georgia will

Look, Mother! If tongue Is
coated, give “California
Syrup of Figs.”
Children love this “fruit laxative,”
and nothing else cleanses, the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sourB, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
Mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of “California
Syrup of Figs,” and in a few hours all
the constipated waBte, Bour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give ’’California
Syrug of Figs” because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it nev
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.

“ 'Sant, I’m glad to see you. Now,
Sam, look here; some folks say you
know a lot, and some say you know
nothing. Tell me, Sammy, my lad,
what do you know?’
“ ‘I know-,’ said the idiot, with a
crafty smile, ‘that tlie miller's turkeys
are fat.’
“ ‘Ha, ha. good,' said the miller, for
the compliment pleased him. ‘And
now, Sam, my lad, tell me what you
don't know.’
"Sam smiled more craftily still.

IS EPILEPSY CONQUERED?
New Jersey Physician Said to Have
Many Cures to His Credit.
Red Bank, N. J. (Special).—Advices
from every direction fully confirm
previous reports that the remarkable
treatment for epilepsy being admin
istered by Dr. Perkins of this city, is
achieving wonderful results. Old and
stubborn cases have tteon greatly
benefitted and many patients claim to
bave been entirely cured.
Persons suffering from epilepsy

says the Popular Magazine
“How does he know what time to

club one night.
"It's this way," exclaimed a mem
ber. "He goes to the head of that
long flight of stairs leading to the
street. if he falls down them, he
knows it's time to go home."
Evolution of Billiards.
The development of the billiard ta
ble has been interesting. In those
far back days when billiards seem first
to have become an indoor game, a bil
liard table was about the size of a
big r.oom. The average table was 30
feet,long and 18 feet wide. The size
was gradually and Irregularly de
creased, until the present standard
carom table was introduced at a bil
liard tournament held In Samson hall,
Philadelphia, in 18G4.

TEXT—And unto Adam also and to hla
wife did the Lord God make coats of
skins, ami clothed them.—Gen. 3:21.
It is written in
Scripture that
God "covereth him
self with light as
with a garment”
(Psalm 104:2),
and there are
some who think
we have a sug
gestion here of
way in which our
first parents were
covered before the
fall. But if so,
they lost their
outer glory with
the inner, for no
sooner did they
commit Bin, than
"the eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they were naked”
(Gen. 3:7). At once they took steps
to conceal their shame by making for
themselves aprons of fig leaves. How
inadequate was the provision! And
so we read that, later on, after their
trial had been held, the penulty pro
nounced, and, blessed be God, the hope
of a Savior held out to them, their
need in the particular was also met.
The text suggests the plan. A lamb
was slain, its blood was shed, and its
covering appropriated for the guilty
pair. The whole circumstance is not
only a beautiful, but a most important
symbol of God’s dealings with the sin
ner In the spiritual realm.
1. Sin is an eye-opener. And this
may be said even though It is equally
true that the sinner is blind. How oft
en he starts on a new career of in-
inquity, expecting satisfaction and
pleasure, only to discover himself
woefully disappointed and deceived.
Happy iB he, if at such a time, the
power of the Holy Spirit works with
in him that deeper conviction of what
sin really is and does, that may lead
him to seek eternal salvation from it.
2. The awakened sinner not infre
quently attempts by his own revising
to rid himself of the consequences of
sin. The fig leaves he employes are
good resolutions, the temporary re
linquishment of some bad habit, the
giving up of some form of vice, stay
ing at home nights, doing some deed
of charity, attending church, perhaps
"professing religion,” as it is some
times called.
3. God only can cover the sinner’s
sin. "Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to
his mercy he saved us, by the wash
ing of regeneration, and renewing of
the Holy Ghost, which he shed on us
abundantly through Jesus ChriBt our
Savior.” This is Paul's testimony to
Titus, and it Is the experience of
every soul that Is really saved (Titus
3: 6, 6).
4. God covers our sin by a method
of his own. As the prophet Isaiah
sings: ”1 will greatly rejoice in the
Lord, my soul shall be joyful In my
God for he hath clothed me with the
garments of salvation, he hath cover
ed me with the robe of righteous
ness" (Isaiah 61:10).
6. God obtains this covering of
righteousness for us by the offering up
of the life of the innocent for the
guilty. "Ho spared not his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all” (Ro
mans 8:32). “He made him to be sin
for us who knew no sin, that we might
be made the righteousness of God in
him" (2 Corinthians 6:21).
Do we not see how purposely God’s
covering of Adam symbolizes what
he is ready to do in the case of any
fallen sinner who realizes his need?
Do you realize yours? Are you trying
vainly to help yourself, to cover your
own spiritual nakedness? Why not
accept God’s covering? Why not take
Jesus Christ as your Savior by faith?
It is so easy to do this. As an un
known author has said so beautifully:
You ask me how I ever came to Christ?
I do not know;
There came a longing for Him In my soul
So long ago.
I found earth’s fairest flowers would fade
and die,
I yearned for something that would sat
isfy:
And then at last somehow I seemed to
daro
To lift my broken heart to Him In prayer.
I do not know,
I can not tell you how;
I only know
He Is my Savior now.
You ask me why I ever came to Christ?
I can reply:
It”Is a wondrous story; listen while
I tell you why
My heart was drawn at length to seek His
face.
I was alone. T had np resting place;
I heard of how He loved me, with a love
Of depth so great—of height so far above
All human ken,
I longed such love to ehare.
And sought It then
Upon my knees In prayer.
You ask me why I thought this loving
Christ
Would heed my prayer?
I knew He died upon the cross for me,
I nailed Him there.
I heard His dying cry, "Father, forgive!”
I saw Him drink death’s cup that I might
live;
My head was bowed upon my breast In
Ehame,
He called me, and In penitence I c&raa
He heard ray prayer—
I cannot tell you how,
Or when, or where;
Only 1 love Him now.
