Oh! you little Czarevitch, the crown
you thought some day
To wear upon your royal head has
vanished quite away.
No crowds will crings before your
frown, no populace will cry:
"Long live the gracious little Czar!”
when you go riding by!
But you should dry your bitter tears
and fill your soul with joy
For you’re a Czarevitch no more,
you're just a little boy.
They will not need to hide you now
when mobs surge through the
street
And savage Cossacks ride them down
beneath the horses’ feet.
They will not need a regiment of
stern-faced troops on guard,
When now and then they let you play
within the palace yard.
No scowling men will plot and plan
to stir up deadly strife,
To waken hatreds that may end your
helpless little life.
Nc splendid crown for you, young
man, no throne of golden state,
But with their loss you lose the threat
of black revenge and hate.
And in the days that are to come you
need not shring with fear
When loud beyond the palace gates
the tramp of men you hear.
You’ll never live to be a Czar, but ere
the game is done
You’ll have a chance to be a man, and
that’s a lot more fun.
—James J. Montagne.

KEYSTONE COMEDY
FARMERS PROTECTING QUAIL
FROM HUNTERS BECAUSE OF
VALUE AS WEEVIL EATERS
ATLANTA, Ga„ March 30—A hunter
recently back from south Georgia de
cided for himself to find out if the
stories were true about quail eating
boll weevils. He cut open one bird,
which he took at random from his bag
and found 27 fully undigested weevils
in its craw.
Assunrng that the birds feed only
twice a day—in reality they feed more
frequently—this would mean over 50
weevils to each quail per day.
In some parts of the state it is said
to be a common sight to see cotton
fields almost covered by large coveys
of quail busily engaged in eating the
weevils as the hot sun causes them to
drow from the plants.
For this reason many farmers, as
told of a few weeks ago, are beginning
to post their land against hunters and
to stop killing the birds themselves
though as yet no authentic reports
have been made to show whether the
destruction of the weevils by quail
is of sufficient importance to make it
worth while to stop killing them.
CLARK NAMED BY DEMOCRATS
AS SPEAKER OF LOWER HOUSE
WASHINGTON, D. C„ March 30.
Representative Champ Clark, of Mis
souri, was unanimously nominated for
re-election as speaker of the house at
representatives at a caucus of demo
crats here today. The house member
ship is equally divided between demo
crats and republicans, with five inde
pendent members holding the balance
ct power, but the general sentiment
here is that Clark will be renamed to
succeed himself.
BVERWORKED MINISTER
Tells Bow Vinol Restored Strength
and Vitality.
Americus people will realize that we
could not publish such letters as the
following if they were not genuine
and truthful statements of facts. The
Rev. Mr. Hughes, Holly Springs, Ark.,
says:—
“I am a Methodist Minister, and suf-j
fared from broken-down nerves, loss •
cf ap-petite and sleeplessness. I was.
weak, my circulation was very poor,
and I was not able to do my duty in
my Parish as I felt I should. I had
tried various remedies but did not
seem to get any better. Through Mr.
Gatlin of Bearden, Ark.. I learned of
Vinol, and it built me up. I regained
my appetite, can sleep better and do
more work.”
There is no secret about Vinol, it
derives its power to build up the over
worked, brokendown, nervous system
from beef and cod liver peptones, iron
and manganese peptonates, and glyc
erophosphates, etc., which it contains.
Anyone in Americus whi wishes to
try Vinol can do so with the under
standing that we will return their
money if they are not satisfied.

MYSTERIOUS JESTER GOT NO
SATISFACTION OUT OF HARRIS
ATLANTA, Ga., March 30.—The un
known friend of Governor Harris who
called him on the telephone yesterday
and told him he as going to have the
governor’s mansion searched for pro
hibited liquors under the bone dry law
got an answer that satisfied him he
was barking on a “cold trail.”
“Go ahead and search,” said the
governor, “you won’t find a drop of
prohibited liquor of any kind on the
premises,”
What the governor could say for
himself is probably a good deal more
than many other law-abiding citizens
can say for themselves, although one ,
Atlanta newspaper did publish a very I
interesting story yesterday of the gal- j
lons and gallons of liquor poured into
kitchen sinks by citizens who were de- ■
termined to obey the law, regardless
ot emergencies that might arise when
a bit of liquor would come in handy.
