One day when I had closed out the last of my stock in a gold mine and found that I could draw my check for half a million I determined to put the idea into-practice. It would lia\ e been dead easy to send a check to an orphan asylum or contribute several thousand dollars to a poor fund, but I wanted to see more di rect benefits. On my way home I stopped off at a little town in Wiscon sin, and it seemed as if my arrival had been timed by Piovidence. In a day or two I had picked up all the cur rent gossip. I learned that a merchant who had been in business for 20 years was or. the point of failure because he couldn’t raise $2,000; also that a carpenter had been killed by accident and left his home mortgaged and his widow penniless: also that one of the church congrgations was on the point of breaking up because of a debt which couldn’t he paid. Here was my opportunity to do several nice things I didn’t propose to have any fuss made over it, and therefore went to a lawyer to arrange foi the donations I wanted to make. He heard me out, and then plumply said: “Sir, you will be set down as eith cr. j-fn Ur kin itiu. KLo|. money in your pocket. “But I wanted to carry out my scheme,” continued the judge, “and so I went direct to the merchant and offered him $2,000 in cash. He finally accepted it, but in a dubious, hesita ting way. When I called on the car penter’s widow and offered to <>is charge the mortgage and leave her $500 besides, she wouldn’t hear of it She even got mad and showed me the door, In the case of the church, the preacher thought it over and decid ed a donation might he accepted in the name of God, hut the deacons and others were down on the idea. My philanthropy was growing cold when something happened to send it down to zero all of a sudden. As true as you live, I was arrested as a suspicious person, and it took me full two weeks to clear myself! Yes, sir; they argued that a man who wanted to give away $4,000 or $5,000 to help strangers out of a hole was just ly under the ban; and the mediant returned me the $2,000 and went up the spout for the want of it. I cleared myself after a while and got considerable fun out of the proceed ings, hut I discovered that I had been hugging a delusion. They wouldn’t credit me with good inten tions, even when I walked down to the depot to leave the town the pio socutmg attorney of the county walked with me, and he was pleased to say: “You have C"me out all right, and are at liberty to go away, hut I wouldn’t try it on again if I were you. You will either be tiken for a lunatic and sent to an asylum or people will regard it as a case of con science and look upon you as a great criminal.” He Fooled the Surgeon All doctors told Heoick Hamilton, of West Jefferson, O, after suffering 18 months from Rental Fisfiila, lie would die unless a costly operation was pre formed; but he cured himself with five boxes of Bucklen’s Arnica Salve, the sures pile eure on earth, and the best sSalve in the World. 25 cents a boox. 1 .Id by Tate. Simmons 4 Co. SUCCESSOR TO THE IIKKALJ). Jasper, Georgia, Friday August, 10, 10(H). “Touching Marriage.” Under the above head, Miss Edna Cain, in the Quitman Free Press, says: “The recent so-called “romantic” manlage of Miss Brumby, of Marietta to an Atlanta young man illustrates the need of stricter marriage 1 tws. The young people, who were not babies by any means, and should, haveknown belter, met at a college commence ment and married after an acquain tance of only three days; the young woman returned to Marietta to tell her family leaving her husband in Atlanta. She p.ruiitu*d her father to persuaded her not to return to her husband and when he came up to Marietta with a lawyer to get her she passed him on the street and cut him dead. Now her people are trying to arrange some grounds for divorce proceedings to release her from a marriage which she herself sees no re.'.soii for having contracted. We repeat, the laws governing marriage should be stricter, to prevent peoply who are palpably unfit and irrespon sible, from entering a contract which effects not only themselves but oth ers in an important way. It is muon better to have strict marriage laws than it is to have s’rict divorce laws.’ On a line with what The Argus has previously said on this subject, it must dissent with Miss Cain in one thing—it is not the province of the law t«‘. mnkat jsxopii*. ( ai-« Mot) UAVfK addition to the marriage laws could prevent misfit and unhappy matches, unless it contained a provision re quiring parents to throw greater re strictions around the associations of their children—both boys and girls for the misfit is often as in j irious to the male as to the female. Boys and girls, if they associate with each other, will love each other sooner or later, generally sooner, and when thej' get to loving each other, marriage is about the first thing they think of. If the strict proprieties of etiquette are enforced by tiie parents in all their children’s conduct, there will he no need for stricter marriage laws, and there will he far fewer misfit marriages and subsequent di vorces, and unhappy, miserable girls, and even men and women. Parents, as a rule, recognize this fact, hut many of them make the mistake of reasoning that those rules are all right for other people, hut “my hoy wouldn’t do this,” and “my girl couldn’t do that.” They generally awake too late. If tke strict proprieties of cultured etiquette are followed in regard to meeting, visiting, etc; their hoys and girls will not do if, whether they could or would do it under different surroundings. An ounce of preven tion is worth all tne cure in the world.- -Dalton Argus.

I am the mother of eight children and have Imp a great deal of experi ence with medicines. Last summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried every thing I could think of, but nothing seemed to Mo her any good. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlin’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly rec ommend and sent and got a bottle at once. Jt p’oved to he one of the very best medicines wo dad ever had in)the house. It saved my little daughter’s life. I -am anxious for every mother to know what an ex cellent medidinc it is.

But he must have on his coat Now it is time for us men to look a bit after comfort and lay off our coats for the summer ex cept on special occasions. In our shirt sleeves, every part of the body is hidden as much as it would be if our coats are on, and that is more than the women can say. This poor mortal, for one, is going on the streets in hot weath er without his coat when he has a clean shirt and the placket does not gape.—Vienna Progres. Glorious News comes from Dr. I). B.

What Happened When “Tim Hoss” j Played Hurouii-al-ltasi-lihl. One of the proprietors of big de partment store decided tin other day j to find out how customers were treated in his establishment. Ho is so seldom seen around the place that few of the clerks know him by sight, hence it was not necessary for him to assume a disguise or formulate an elaborate plon for the success of his undertaking. Going in the shoo department lie j sat down to be wail lied on. A clerk who had been in the store only a few weeks hurried forward and asked: i “May I show you a pm: ol shoes? “Yes,” the mei chant said. “I would like to look at some, hut I don’t know as I’m readv to luiv a pair to lay. “Very well,” said the clerk, “we 11 see w.iat we can find.” ; Then he made some inquiries as to i I the style his employer preferred and i die size he wore, and began taking ! down boxes. One shoe after another was tried on, hut the 'customer could not , |(; HU ; te(1 . The toes were not right, or the shape was wrogn, oi it didn’t lit, or there was something else about every shoe the clerk prod tied that was not as it should he.

Alter he was gone the head of the shoe department went over to the new clerk and whisper ed something to him. The latter turned a little pale along the sides of his nose and said: “Then I suppose I may as well be gin hunting around for another job.’' On the following morning the manager of tlu* store called the sad dened cleik into the office and said: “The president of tins company went to the slice department y ester day to get a pair of shoes.” “Yes, I know it,” the clerk replied “He couldn’t get what he wanted.’ The clerk gave a long sigh and looked at the floor. “You fold him you were not anxi ous to sell goods if people didn’t show proper eagerness to buy,” the manager went on. The clerk nodded that it was so. “Well, do you think it would pay i us to keep a man like you 111 our j 1 s l H(e department?” * Feeling that it would benefit him > j nothing to ... he abject, since he , was to '■ he discharged anyway, the miserable clerk replied: “I suppose not.
