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. * * • MRS. CLEVE TILLMAN HOSTESS TO FRIENDS.

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.

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. Hooks Pharmacy.

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.
