('IBCriT RIDKK COMES A STEP I P.
The circuit rider is eoming a step up in the world,
t or years now he has been the much buffetred servant of
A .eoples and churches living at great distances from each
her—people and churches which he has served cheer
illy enough, but on such a meagre salary that, often, he
. as been unable to afford the customary horse which
ecessarily should go with his “job.” But now every
.ugle circuit rider in the Methodist church is going to
e able to live up to his title of ’•rider.’’ and possess a
arse of his very own. It’s no fun tramping a circuit of
ver a hundred miles with the thermometer at a hundred 1
r registering zero, and there isn't an itinerant preacher
■om one end of Methodism to another who isn’t glad to,
ear the news that an old nag will soon be waiting for
.m around the turn of the lane. The “nag” is to be ■
ade possible as a result of the Centenary campaign of
e Methodist Episcopal church. South, which will seek
> raise >35,000.000 this week, With this money the
lurch wil] develop its missionary work at home and
iroad and see to it that the underpaid circuit rider is
ven enough money to at least purchase a horse
There are. to be exact. 4.147 circuit riders in the
outh and it is interesting to know that thirteen of these
ive as many as ten circuits each which they must tra
rse. There are thirty-six which have nine circuits |
ch. ninety with eight cirt-lies each, two hundred with
f
sven circuits, four hundred and fifty with six charges
.ch to their credir seres hundred and forty-six with
,e charges to pit iri-’ ant -.'.er a thousand with four

THE PEACOCK.
OH. yes,—you are handsome —you vain old bird,
I know it no better than you —
You have studied your pose on the garden wall
And stay there incessantly, too.
Beauty is not so important a thing
There’s a lot in the world beside.
You are welcome to spread your feathery tail
And challenge the world to deride.
For what care I that a bird like you
Should perch on the garden wall
I merely say. What a fool you are!”
And I voice the opinion of all.
But, oh. I admire you—you beautiful bird
Please forgive me for what I have said
You are no more vain than the rest of the world
And I ridiculed you instead.
, And how much more, pretty bird, have you
Than they of which to be proud?
! Let the world deride if it cares to laugh
You’re the loveliest thing in the crowd.

The Feelish We A!s»> Have With I * Always.
It is a mistake to place undue emphasis on such in
; cidents as that reported in a dispatch yesterday from
Andersonville, where the mouaffleK erected, in the main
, street of the town to the memory of Major Henry Win
was painted, under cover of darkness with the German
national colors. It is profeable that tne eertaiaty of guilt
will be fastened upon those who cmaunitted the outrage
and their punishment will follow as the machinery of
justice operates
But there is everv reason wtv the importance of this
i
‘ act of vandalism should not be exaggerated It represent
ed the narrow vision of just a few persons—their inability
to understand some things which only the intelligent
; and broad-minded are tapable of comprehending
Major Win was executed in Washington following
; his conviction on a charge of erwelty to federal prisoners
j confined in the Confederate prison camp at Andersonville
jof which he had bees in command. His conviction and
1 execution were inevitable because of the times in which
te was tried. The north was inflamed with the passion
and resentment which swept over that section during
the four years of the war itself, and which reached their
highest point in the period immediately following the
j Union’s triumph. It has been pretty clearly established
that Major Wirz did the best he could tor the Union
prisoners over whom he had supervision, but he had no
medicines for the sick, only coarse food and an insutfi- j
cient supply of that, and all efforts of the Confederate
government to bring about an exchange of prisoners!
had failed. It is a sad fact that Union prisoners at An-I
dersonvllle died of neglect, but it was neglect which,
Major Wirz and the Confederate government were pow
erless to prevent.
The monument at Andersonville was erected by the I
’ : Daughters of the Confederacy as a reminder to'
.: sad future generations that there is something to be
-a.t n behalf of the man who gave his life in expiation
of -ometo.r f for which he was not personally responsr
■_.e T.-.e mpoverished and its resources were'
ce>;ete.<j :.at even Use’s soldiers were in tatters, I
t±e:r -ia:.; ra’ion often being nothing more than a hand
s. of ;a. "her or fJ and a slice of bacon hardly fit. for
food.
Tt.e>e were overlooked or ignored when Major
Wirz wa- ’• ■ . a> perfec'Jy natural that they should
f have :>e- Ruo,, et. t; the north demanded his
*>e utton and nothing that was said or could have been
said in hi- t>e: tu' availed or wild avail anything. Had
the position► of the North and South been reversed, the
'.o;d;’ions would not have been different. Sentiment in

ISOLATION VS. INSULATION
SPACING OF PLATES IMPORTANT
This distinction is important in Storage
Batteries
By the use of patented Indestructible Isolators
the plates of Vesta batteries are Isolated not Insu
lated.
The plates are locked apart and equidistant.
This even spacing while preventing short circuiting,
also insures that each plate and each part of the sur
face of each plate shares the electric load evenly.
This is because electricity always takes the shortest
path. It must travel evenly when spaces are equal.
The Isolators are placed in slots at the four cor
ners of the plates making of the plates in each ceil a
rigid unit, allowing of no movement. The Isolators
are made of celluloid which is a non-conductor and
mpervious to the action of the acid electrolyte. They
are not in the path of the current and do not affect its
flow.
NO OTHER BATTERY IS SIMILARLY MADE
