But there are plenty of men waiting to fill them. The handwriting of R. D. Black' more, tbe novelist, Is so fine as often to neceseltate the use of a magnifying glass by his printers. When the Georgia farmers go to making supplies at home, start up tbe neighborhood blacksmith and shoe ehope and tan yards, and country mills, and come beck into tbe Demo cratic party, there will be more happi ness to the acre in Georgia than in any other state In tbe Uoion.—Brune* wick Advertiser. Tho baneful effects of the Hobson kiss are again apparent. At Chicago, while tbe President was receiving, an enthusiastic girl, who proclaimed her* self a '‘Democrat," told Mr. McKinley that she "loved him and would like to kies bl tn.” Tbe crowd relieved tbe President of bis embarrassment by sweeping tbe girl along before it, and her desire romaine ungratified. Too Late to Arbitrate. There should here been no peace protocol, and no peace commission. The war ebould have been brought to an end with a treaty of peace, stating ail of the terma plainly, says the Sa vannah News. Having no alternative, Spain would have signed snob a treaty a* readily as she signed the protocol. However, all of that is of the past, Spain may regard the protocol and the commission as concessions to ber if she lihes. but if she is expecting still further concession*, in the way of submitting to arbitration points which msy be disputed between ber com missioners and those of the United Blates, sbe is doomed to disappoint ment. The refusal of the American com missioners to consider proposals to arbitrate radical differences has aroused adverse comment on the part of the Paris press and has caused the Spanish commissioners to send to Madrid for new instructions. But the effect upon the American commission ers will be nil. Their position will have the support of tbeir own govern ment and people. The time tor arbitration is past. The United States might have acceded to such * proposition before the war, when they requested Spain to put an end to the horrors of her war in Cuba At that time, however, Spain said sbe was attending to ber own business in her own way, and that abe would continue to do so; that sbe bad noth ing to arbitrate. Now the United States are attending to tbeir business, of granting peace to Spain, and they will follow tbeir own inclinations in the matter. It ia reasonable to assume from the recent speeches of the President and from other evidences, that the minds of the President and bis adviser* re specting the terms of peace with Spain have already been made up. It has been determined what demands will bo made upon Spain—whether she will have to give up tbe Philippine* as well as Cuba and Porto Rico—and Spain must accept sbe determination There is nothing else for her to do. There ia nothing to arbitrate.

It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa ny upon a policy issued to Mr. Mark Banks, of Connecticut, the particulars of which are given here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has m this in stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: • Mr. Banka was insured for The dividends amounted to _l____ Paid to the estate. ’...... * How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums m cash, an<t he did this for fifty-tour years. He did not utilize any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,233. Issued March 5,1845. Amount $5,000. Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. Life Plmi. Original insurance in 1845, Dividend additions paid in 1898, Amount of death claim 54 Premiums paid by insured Realized to estate over premiums paid $8,888.00 Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (W per cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually irom >o,ww at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums paid for the insurance. Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by tbe result oi nis method of investment —a result that has never been equalled by a policy holder in any other company in the world. t , For best plans of insurance please consult me. _A— ZEEIT i"L y Snecial -Ae;ent.

A prominent New York physician in discussing the merits of Kipans Tabules with a brother M. D. said: “ Several years ago I asserted that If one wished to become a philan thopist, and do a beneficent deed— one that would help the whole hu man race—nothing could be better than to procure the Roosevelt Hos pital prescription, whith is the basis of the Rifaeu Tabules, and cause it to be put up in the form of a ketchup ana distributed among the poor.’’ Salos Increasing. The largest retail drug store in America is that of Hegeman & Co. on Broadway in New York City. A reporter who went there to learn how Ripans Tab ules were selling bought a five-cant carton and asked: ••Do you have much call for these?” He was referred to a gentleman who proved to be the head of the depart ment. He said: " The sale of Ripans Tabules is constant and is increasing, due especially to the influential character of the testimonials in the daily press, and growing out of these, through the recommendation of friend to friend. Satisfaction with them is very general When once they are begun I notice that a penna- mt customer for them is made. This, 1 believe, is through their intrinsic merit, which proves the bona fide character of the advertising. I think them specially useful in the general run of stomach troubles.” A »w«tyi*pa«Momtatnlngmt urAn urareprekedtas papw «artoßfwtthcatgiMi)i« now for mUo nt some drag rtuw- ron rrra crirrs.

One gives relief. An Elderly Lady. An elderly lady living at Fordham Heights, a part of New York City, and who was known to be a warm advocate of Ripans Tabules for any case of livCr trouble or indigestion, said to a reporter who visited her for the purpose of learning the particu lars of her case: "I had always employed a physician and did so on the last occasion I had for one, but . at that time obtained no beneficial results. I had never had any faith in patent medicines, but having seen Ripans Tabules recommended very highly in the New York Herald con cluded to give them a trial, and found they were just what my case demanded. I have never employed a physician since, and that means a Objected to their mother giving a testimonial which should parade her name in the newspapers, out to do this the elder lady argued : " There may be other cases just like mine, and I am sure I take great pleasure in reccmmttidin gtheThb®efftcrltay one afflicted as I was.
