A foolish Kansas girl—and the
world is full of them—sent a dollar to
a sharp New Yorker for a "sure core
for freckles ” The receipt was this:
'■Remove the freckle- carefully with a

There is one country in the world,
and probably only otie, which gets
along with a single policeman ; that is
Iceland. Iceland is peopled by the de
scendants of Vikings, including many
famous warriors and heroes, but they
are so law-abiding that they have no
need of policemen. The solitary officer
in spite of bis great responsibility, has
a very easy time. He is maintained
more for orr.amt nt and dignity than
for use The Icelanders think it would
not do to have a capital without a po
liceman, and so they keep one. Thia
police force is large in trie reuse. Its
member is six feet big! , broad--Louis
dered, and handsomely uniformed.
Wanamaker’s paper, the Phila
delphia North A mer!can,aud, of course,
a good republican paper, is not pleased
with the expansion theories of Mr.
McKinley It gays: "This war is hate
fol io the American pnqde. The
splendid courage of our s -' iu re and
the gallantry and address of their
commanders excite mitm.mii admira- ■
tion, but there is no natiomii exulta- i
tion over their victories The stars
and stripes, which appeared at every
window while our army and navy
were delivering the Cubans from Span
ish oppression, are nut hung out in
response to the daily news that the
Filipinos have been routed with heavy
loss ”
It new seems that Philadelphia will
take the lead iu a great reform, for the
benefit of the masculine ball of the
race, says the Savannah News. Why
should men be compelled by custom
to wear coats and swelter and steam io t
hot weather, while womtn keep cool 1
and comfortable in shirt waists? Phil
adelphia is discussing the question,
and may institute a movement toward
permitting the shirt waist to men as
well as women. Materials identically ’
the same are uei d for making shirts t
and waists, yet the man must keep his
Madras shirt covered with a coat, no
matter if the mercury is in the ninty’s,
■■ ■ . ■■ are cov-
ered only by the waist. Why . sh. uld i
not the man’s shirt be changed into a 1
shirt waist, and become a tiling of joy ,
and beauty to its wearer, and the envy
of all beholders, just as a woman is?

A Thorou*li Cure.
There is no sentiment about Grizler. .
He is close and is not easily alarmed. It |
is not surprising, then, that the doctor I
■
ler called to present the case of his wife. ,
‘‘l’m greatly afraid,” said the - hus-■
baud, ‘‘that her mental equilibrium ia ,
disturbed. She is not liko other women
and not as she used to bo.”
‘‘What are the symptoms?”
“You may regard them of a negative
character, doctor. To begin with, she
never opens her fashion papers of late. ’’
* ‘ Bad I Bad 1 V ery bad 1’ ’
‘‘l feared as much. The woman who |
lives next door called last night and ,
wore one of the most elegant hats I ev
er saw. You know that lam not given
to noticing such things. Mrs. Grizler
never seemed to seo it and said nothing
about it after the caller had gone. ”
‘‘Awful, ” exclaimed the doctor, ‘‘aw
ful. I’vo known your wife, Grizler, ev
er sinco she was bom. No one over bad
a brighter mind or a happier disposi
tion. I can’t understand it. Used to be
the life and beauty of every company
she was ever in. Does she go out?”
‘‘No, nor entertain. Never mentions
the theater, burns all invitations and is =
without the slightest interest in the so- j
cial whirl. I would give half I’m worth
to see her tho girl 1 married. ”
“Done,” snapped the doctor, and ho
wrote out the strangest prescription on
record. It called for horses, carriages,
line raiment, jewels and a well filled
purse. At tho bottom was a receipt in
full for |250,000. There was no chance
for Grizler to weaken, and now his
wife is one of the most brilliant women
in tho swim. When she and tho old doc
tor meet, h" w inks and Dm whispers,
•‘You dear old soul.’’—Detroit Free
Press.
Parliamentary Humor.
The London World gives this as an
illustration of tho keen humor of Jus
tice Darling: Ou one occasion, when
Mr. Gladstone was beginning to give
up the lead in tho house of commons to
Sir William Harcourt, it was noticed
by the members that ho left tho house
at tho dinner hour and Sir William
Harcourt led for tho rest of tho sitting.
Mr. Darling ono evening drove Sir Wil
liam to fury, on failing to elicit a defi
nite answer to an inquiry, by casually
observing in the course of his speech,
"1 have noticed that lately tho party
opposite, adopting an ancient precedent,
lias set up a greater light to rule the
■day and a lesser lightttftule the night.”
He Passed Out.
"1 won’t submit to being turned
away, ” said the disappointed arrival at
tho hotel. “See here—l’m flush I” And
he displayed a roll of bills.
“1 know, ” responded the clerk, ‘‘but
I’ve got a full house. ” —Philadelphia

LAND POOR.
A Scheme to Give Every Man a i
Farm, by a Person Who is
Land Pcor.
Mr. Editor : Some years ago I tixyk an
idea that land was the safest investment
that a man could make in Georgia, and as
a consequence, I am now land poor; have
more than I can profitably make use of,
and consequently want to get rid of some,
or all of it, and I have decided to adopt
the following measure to get rid of it:
I will say,in the first place, that the
land is the best in Monroe county, is fine
ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat
tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best for
cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains
in the county. There are a number of
tenant houses on the place, and a home
recently built that cost me over $3,000 to
build. The land, in the first place, cost
me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying
altogether,about $lO per acre, without
improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will
average the whole place at $lO per acre,
in the following way : I will have the
entire place, 1,000 acres, sub-divided into
50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more
than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and
less than 50 to another, according to his
ability to pay for it, as the case may be,
the entire quantity to be drawn for.
In other words, the number of lots and
quantity of land to be put in a bat or box,
and drawn out under approval of a com
mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time,
so that all shall have a fair chance to get a
home at a low price, and no one has a
chance of losing their m rney, or failing to
get their value, as paid, and some get a
farm at far less than cost.
The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city
of some 50,000 or 00,000 people, and is
adapted to maiket gardening, and for
northern people who know how to work,
it offers a fine opportunity for a colony of
energetic citizens.
It is all together, and would make a fine
settlement, having the best of pastures,
water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is
timbered with hickory, beach, oak and
pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best
place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed
itor of the Call will vouch for what I
say.
I would be glad to have any parties who
mean business, te go over the plantation,
familiarize themselves with the advan
tages, and communicate with me at
Barnesville, before going into the matter,
assuring them that I mean what I say.
In addition to the terms offered above, I
have concluded to make the terms of pay
ment in four annual payments without
interest, which is tantamount to putting
the price of the land very low. The
titles to the land have been in the posses
sion of one or two parties for years, and
! have never been questioned and are as
good as gold.
1 am not particularly wedded to this
plan < f getting rid of my lands, but only
suggest the idea —any better plan would
ba thankfully substituted.
