THE CLAYTON TRIBUNE, CLAYTON, GEORGIA. Q/T-cr09DIiNARY Lr People 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 in the local superior court, when fif teen petitions of mismated couples were put on record. Sometimes as many as a hundred are granted in a day, but never before have tills many new petitions come in In one morn ing. 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.

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. “ I don’t know whose meal fattens 'em,’ ho said.” IS EPILEPSY CONQUERED?

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.

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.

Adv. QUITE PROBABLY IT WOULD Little Accident to Headgear Likely to Spoil Expression of Almost Any Man. “Look pleasant," said the photogra pher. The sitter raised his eyes and gave a sickening smirk. “Your head just a little more to the left, please,” suggested the voice from the black shroud. “No, don't move the eyes.” Like a man suffering from a stiff neck or an Eiffel tower collar, the sitter tilt ed his head gingerly till it reached the desired angle, and he resembled a dying fish trying not to mind. “That's very nice, very nice indeed," said the photographer. "Stay just there while I make the exposure." He removed the cap as he Bpoke and counted out a minute and three-quarters. "Thank you,” he observed. “You can get up. I’m afraid you have been sitting on your hat.” “My hat!” roared the sit ter, angrily, regarding tlie flattened felt. “Why the dickens didn’t you tel! me I was sitting on my hat?" "My dear sir,” protested the photographer, blandly, "that would have spoiled your expression.” Many School Children Are Slrkly.
