Armour is a director. Joseph Leiter, who is opposed to Ar mour in the wheal deal which has caused so much talk, gave one of Armour*-' brokers a check for $1,000,* 000, drawn on this particular bank. When Armour saw the check hia eyes flashed and he rushed around to the bank. *'Bee here,” he exclaimed, "what do you fellow* mean by, opening an account with Leiter and lending him money on security? Don’t interrupt me; I don’t care if the securities were gilt-edge or not; you are lending him money to fight me.” There was a sus picion of a smile on the face of the cashier a* be explained, when Mr. Armour gave him a chance: "Just before the batik closed on Saturday Mr. Leiter deposited $6,000,000, and, of course, we are always ready to re ceive deposits.” “You don’t say so!” gasped Mr. Armour. The Girl* Can Stop It- As a rule girls are not kissed against tber wills The average may be no better than he may be, but generally in the matter of labial privileges bo has at least some reason for thinking that Eve offers him the rosy fruit. Sometimes it is his self-conceit and egotism that suggests it. In such cases bo deserves all tho punishment that he may receive. But if the woman gives to him and bo feasts, he may be a very weak an! "unworthy” young man,but he would be more or less than human to refuse. From Adam’s time to the present he has nearly always succumb ed. The remedy in Atlanta and else where is in the hands of the girls. They ought to realise, if they don’t, that familiarity breeds contempt, and that while the friendliness and good comradeship that characterize the re lations of the young men and young women of the day are all right, a wos man is a woman for a’ that, and though she ride a bicycle or wear bloomers, she should never permit her male friends to forget the respect and courtesy that are due her as a lady.— Baltimore Sun. There is more Catarrh In this section of the country than all the other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to he incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly falling to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a consti tutional disease, and therefore require* constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Core.'toanu&ctured by F. J. Cheney & Co..

SEARCY, In the beginning of our articles we expressed the opinion that Eden, 5 man’s first home, wa* a spirit realm. * We wish to show in this article that j Paradise is Eden, and that man will I finally return »o hie first home, if be prepare* himself to pass its guarded portals. If we compare Genesis 11:9 end 11:13 22 witli Revelation 11:7 we ’ will find sufficient evidence upon 1 which to ground this belief. In Genesis there is a reference "to the tree of life in the midst of the Gar ’ den of Eden,” and a determination on the part of God that man should not eat of it* fruit in hi* fallen condition ' and live in the realm of spiritual bliss forever. In Revelation there is reference "to the tree of life in the midst of the Par adise nf God,” and a promise that if men will overcome the evil from which hie fallen stale results, he shall eat of the tree of life and live forever. There i* nowhere in the Bible a statement that Eden was destroyed ; but on the contrary there is evidence that it was preserved, for the last view that man had of it as he left its sacred bowers showed the Cherubim at its gate with flaming swords which turned every way, not to destroy, bnt "to keep the way of the tree of life.” St. Paul tells us that he was caught away into Paradise, but whether he was in the body or out of the body at the time be could not tell. Jesus said to the penitent thief,when both were expiring an the cross, 1 to day thou *h«lt be with me in Para* dise,” bnt this only shows that the re deemed have their home in the midst of its restful bowers of bliss. The Lexicographers tell ns that the word Paradise is not properly Greek or Hebrew, but was probably imported from Persia. It signifies the same as the Hebrew word "Gan,” and is de fined as an orchard, a park, a fruit garden—designations which apply equally to Eden and to Paradise. Jo sephus calls the gardens of Solomon Paradises, and Berosus calls the bang ing gardens of Neburcbadnezzer bang ( ing Paradises. May we not reasons , bly infer, then, that Eden and Para dise are one and tbe same—a beauti ful spirit land Whose light is never dimmed by shade, Whose fields are ever vernal, Where nothing beautiful can ever lade, But blooms for aye, eternal. Paradise is the home of the right eous dead—the home of .those who have been raised (resurrected) from the fallen state which caused tbe loss of Eden to the spiritual plain of life, from which they fell, which entitles them to pass the flaming swords which guard the way to the tree of life. In tho closing chapter of the Bible we have a blessing promised to them "that do His commandments, and have a right to the tree of life” (Revelation 22 *14); and a statement that "without are the dogs, and sorcerers, and forni cators, and the mu.derers, and tbe idoliturs, and every one who loves and practices falsehood” (Revelation 22:15). Hades, we have shown in other arti cles, is the unseen spirit world. Like the natural world it covers all states and conditions, and like the natural world it has its divisions In our own country, when tbe ships move up to Castle Garden, where the iniigrante land, the officers of the gov ernment inspect the list of imigrants and their papers closely, and if any are found who are not allowed by our laws to enter they are excluded ; so, io the spirit world, those who pass from this to the world of spirits can only enter ; the favored Paradise and pass to the 1 I tree of life, who are entitled under the , laws of God to pass the poet of inspec- 1 lion. If we have failed, then we must take our place "without.” So we have in Paradise tho garden of the Lord,and | we have also the opposite state—a des- ' ert waste, where souls full of remorse ' wander. ] How terrible tbe thought that we , may never have a home in the Para dise of God! May never know how sweet the balmy ( air. How bright and fair its flowers; And may not hear the songs that echo there, - j Through those enchanted bowers. Let us this morning offer up with the poet the prayer he makrs io these j beautiful lines:* i “Oh, land unknown! oh, land oflove di- 8 vine! Father, all-wise, eternal, Guide, guide, there wandering feet of mine Into those pastures vernal I” 1 Vo Tim* for Intoroat. It I* told of A. T. Slewart, tbe on* time nftrehant prince of New York, that npon entering his store noe morn ing he sought out the man having tho hiring and discharging of tie catb boys. "Mr. Libby,” said he, "who is that handsome, bright eyed little boy standing by tbe counter yonder?” "Hia name is Mason—Cbarlee Ma son—sir,” answered Mr. Libby. "He is indeed a handsome little fellow, and he is as bright and well mannered as he is handsome. He I* the most atten tive and moat promising boy we have in our employ.” "Yes, I thought as much,” said Stewart, gruffly. “Discharge him at once” ""Why, Mr. Btewitatl” exclaimed Mr. Libby, in astonishment, "you surely cannot mean it!” “Discharge him at once, I say,” re peated Stewart sternly. "I’m getting too much interested in that boy. I find myself slopping and talking with him as I come io or go out of tbe store. Hit personality interests mi— his candor, bis intelligence, hi* enthu siasm, his beauty. I find myself talk ing of him after I reach my desk and when I should be busy at work. I have no time and no right to become interested in anybody—l must not suf fer any liking to distract me from my business. Discharge that boy at once!” Blood Pollen'Cured- There is no doubt, according to the many remarkable cures performed by Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B.

I employed an old physician and then went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot Springs and remained two months. Noth ing seemed to cure me permanently, al though temporary relief was given me. I returned home a ruined man physically, with but little prospect of ever getting well I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish ment it quickly healed every ulcer. Z. T. Hallebton, Macon, Ga. Atlanta’s lining Epidemic. According to Mr*. Joseph Kingsber ry, a prominent society woman of Atlanta,■Ga., an epidemic is raging in that city.
