PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
THE EVENING CALL.
A Masquerader.
Love that came in Pity’s guise,
Could I say him nay?
Down he dropt his radiant eyes,
Veiled in his pinions gay
'Neath a mantle gray;
Hid his bow and arrows, too.
What was the poor maid to do—
Love that came in Pity’s guise,
Could I say him nay?
Softly knocked he at the door,
So I looked to see ;
Love I knew had knocked before
But this was not be—
Pray, who might it be?
“Pity is my name I” he cried ;
So the door I opened wide—
Love that came in Pity’s guise,
Could I say him nay?
In my empty heart he came,
Filled each corner, too,
Till one day, with look of flame,
Off his cloak he threw,
And Love’s self I knew,
With a laugh of cruel glee,
“I am master here,’’ quoth he
Love that came in Pity’s guise,'
Could I say him nay?
Love that comes in Pity’s guise,
Who can say him nay?
Maidens, an’ ye would be wise,
Turn the rogue aw<y,
Lest ye find some day,
Cruel love your tyrant grown,
And like me, ye make your moan—
Love that comes in Pity’s guise,
Must as master stay.

The old question of realism in fic
tion seems to have still the ear of the
public. The following exhaustive ed
itorial appears in the New York Com
mercial Advertiser: Are new tests to
be applied in determining the admiss
ibility of realism in fiction? Perhaps
the battles of the critics and develop
ment of taste in the reading public
have combined to produce a more ra
tional standard. Just now Tolstoi’s
new novel, which is being published
in different countries in serial form, is
reviving discussion of this point.
Having discarded sermonizing and
tract-writing for a time, the great nov
elist has returned to that marvelous
delineation of character which marked
Anns Karenina. The character paint
ing in bis new book has, like that of
the former, more than the accuracy of
a photograph, for it has lifelike color
ing also. But there is strong objection
made to the portrayal of certain phases
of life. It is noteworthy that be is
defended strongly by some who are
prominent in Russian official life. The
tenor of the discussion seems to be
that in this age of publicity a balance
has been struck between temporary
harm ar.d the ultimate good resulting
from the exact representation of life.
A certain type of novel is a sort of dose
in literary homoeopathy. But the
analogy holds Only in part. Novels of
pious commonplace will not cure a
reading constituency such as that
which feasts upon the works of the
late E. P. Roe. “For those who like
that sort of thing, that is about the
sort of thing they like.” It is when
the issue of moral health in literature
is distinctly raised that your novel
writing homoeopath raises his voice.
“All that can be written.” be says,
“about the evil side of society is trifling (
compared with the gravity of the actu
al facts Here is a book, true to life,
and telling you something that you
ought to have brought home to you
with ail the force ot realism. It is told
by an artist” It is difficult to decide
whether he is right or not, but the
question seems to be working itself
out slowly. The moral sense of socie-
No Hight to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face, form I
and temper will always have friends, but
one who would be attractive must keep
her health. If she is weak, sickly and all
run down, she will be nervous and irrita
ble. If she has constipation or kidney
trouble, her impure blood will cause pim
ples, blotches, skin eruptions and wretch
ed complexion. Electric Bitters is the
best medicine in the world to regulate the
stomach, liver aud kidneys, and to purify
the blood. It gives strong nerves, bright
eyes, smooth, velvety skin, rich complex
ion. It will make a good-looking, charm
ing woman of a run-down invalid. Only

ty is quick enough to distinguish be
tween the disagreeable, though sane
and medieval realism of Z >’a and Tol
stoi, and the neurotic vagariee ofd’A n
ounzio. Pity it is that literature
should have its morbid anatomy ; but
its only justification, if such there can
be, is the curative power of its painful
truths.

blooms with its beauty. If her system
needs the cleansing action of a laxative
remedy, she uses the gentle and pleasant
Syrup of Figs, made by the California Pig
Syrup Co, only.
Mr. H. A. Pass, Bowman, Ga., writes:
“One of my children was very delicate
and we despaired of raising it. For
months my wife and I could hardly get
a night’s rest until we began the use of
Pitts’ Carminative. We found great re

take it without coaxing. It is free from

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 1899.
lovely country home of Mr. and Mrs.
i D B. Leonard, at Vienna.
• The lawn and wide verandas were
brilliantly lighted with innumerable
i Japanese lanterns, which made the
. elegant grounds even lovelier than
i usual. That home scene was a beau-
I tiful one. White and green, with a
touch of pink in sweet peas, were the
tints used in the decorations. And
I throughout the lower floor of the
i spacious home these pretty colors were
• noticeable. The bridal table—a large
• round table seating twenty about its
> generous board—was covered with an
1 exquisite cloth of renaissance lace over
pink satin, and was adorned with
beautiful flowers and dishes of pink
and white and green spun candy.
The bride entered the drawing room
with her father. She wore a magnifi
cent gown of white satin with flounces
of handsome lace. A tulle veil caught
with diamonds was most becoming.
Miss Iverlyn Duggan, of Aonistou»
Ala., was maid of honor to Miss Leon
ard and Mr, Elswortb Hall acted as
his brother’s best man.
As Miss Leonard, Mrs. Hall was de
servedly popular—unusually gifted
and cultured, she will easily win for
herself many friends in her new home.
Mr. Hall is a prominent young attor
ney of Jackson and is recognized as
one of the most popular and successful
business men of the state.
After the ceremony there was a
brilliant reception. On Thursday Mr.
and Mrs. Hall left for Jackson where
they were given a reception last even
ing by Mrs. Floride Drake, th« sister
of the groom. Several hundred guests
called to offer congratulations and the
affair was very elegant in every detail.

at bis club, says the Argonaut. After
luncheon, a scratch rubber was with
difficulty got together. The fourth
man, a young subaltern in the Guare’s,

1 played a very poor game. Unfortun
ately, the chief justice cut him as part
ner several times in succession.
At first he only fidgeted a little; and
made one or two mild inquiries. But
after something extra diabolical, his
lordship broke out with : “1 really
think, sir, you are playing badly on
purpose to annoy me.”
“Oh, shut up!” said 'he soldier;
“how can an}' fellow play when yt u
keep jawing at him T”
Lord Russell, with quiet dignity,ob
served : “I don’t think you know to
whom you are speaking, sir.”
“Oh, yes, I do,” said the warrior;

He Give a Duck a Pointer on Adver
tising-
A duck which faithfully stuck to
business during the summer and laid
several dozen of large fawn colored
eggs, complained that she wasn’t ap
preciated,
‘See that hen over there,’ said the
duck, ‘she hasn’t laid as many eggs as
I have, nor as big, but she has books
written about her and verses composed
in her honor, while nobody is raying
a word about me.’
‘The trouble with you : s,’ said a wise
rooster that was standing near, ‘that
you don’t, tell the public what you
have done. You lay an egg and wad
dle off without saying a word, but that
sister of mine never lays one without
leltieg everybody in the neighborhood
know it. If you want to cut any ice
in this community you must adver
tise.’
In Excellent Combination.
' The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently vet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver ami bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
