The chronic kicker will finally get hi 1 - reward—in that land of fire and brimstone. Next Sunday is Mastr —the day of new hats and spring dresses. Will it rain is a question of the hour? It is'ineonceivahh* to any one who has not handled, so much money, how a man can steal as did young Sims in Atlanta last week. A young man in Richmond. Va., sat down on a gasoline and afterwards struck a match on his trousers. Evidently he pants for death. If a man would make as much garden in April and May as he does in his mind during February and March, the vegetable market would go to pieces. Why not invite Gov. Terrell and staff and their uniforms tA Chautauqua this year, we would like to sec* one of them rigged out. in its paraphernalia. t A Pennsylvania small boy has quite satisfactorily answered the long standing question : What is a home without a mother?” He thinks it is an incubator. The farmers of this section are taking advantage of every day to put in some good work on their lands as they are already badly behind with their preparation. After you have provided the wife of your bosom with anew Easter dress, it is a little like having it rubbed in to be told that your last summer's suit can’t possibly expect to be seen at chuach with it, truthfully remark a fellow suf ferer. The Gritlin news says: A Bartlesville man sent the follow ing testimonial to a pa Lent, medi cine company: “Dear Sir—My Wife took it bottle of vour medi cine ami died. I am married again, please send me another bottle.” Who is it? The east* of young Sims in Atlanta is not anew story 1y any meaiies. Another instance of liv ing beydpul means*. It lias been going on for a time whereof the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. / l' ■ ■ II It is estimated that it will take 40,000 men ten years to finish the Panama Canal. The climate will be the most serious obstacle in tin 1 way and many thousand will die before the ditch is finished. Hereafter no Chicago girl need be without a beau or an escort, unless by choice. She can now go to the telephone and order a beau for the morning afternoon or even ing. just the same as she would order a block of ribbon ora bottle of piekles. And she can order just the style of beau she wants, to match her complexion, or her new frock, or lmr “confection’* of anew hat. There arc to b * had Jong beaus and short, dark beaus tend light: lean beaus and fat, and whiskered beaus and those that are clean-shaven. It is merely a I case of “you pay your money ami jou take your choice. A CHRISTIAN AT WORK. An engine bumped against some empty curs in the early dawn of a winter morning. A boy who had slept in one of them was thrown dazed and bewildered against the ; door, which he had closed when he crawled into the car the night before. Jiißt then a brukeniftn thrust his head into the car and reached for his jacket, which he supposed ■ was hanging where lie left. it. He was somewhat surprised to find a boy on it, and took it from him without ceremony. “Now you get out of here,” he said, thrusting the hoy from the door. “If I catch you in one of these cars again I’ll give you to u policeman.” “What’s he been up to Bill?” said a man who was putting some freight in next the car. “Fp to my coat,” he said, giv ing it a vigorous shake as he walk ed away. The boy looked dirty and de jected as he limped along by the i side of the track. The man who had spoken call ! ed after him. “Hello there I Do you want a jjol). 'Pile boy turned back quickly. “If you’ll help me load them ; firkins I’ll pay you for it; but | you’ll have to work spry.” The prospect of a little money I brightened the boy, and he set to work in earnest, though he was stiff, cramped and hungry. Do you live around here?” ask ed the man. The boy shook his head. “In case we should want to hire a boy about your size, can you give me any recommendation as to your character?” The hoy’s face flushed, but he made no answer. The man watch ed him narrowly, and when the car was loaded handed him twen ty-five cents, saying: I “We’re short of hands in the freight room. Do you think you’d like the job?” “Yes, 1 would like it. The hoy’s face was almost pain ful in its eagerness, as he follow |ed the man into the freight j room. ■ “Now,” said the freight man, seating himself on a box, we ll have a hit of talk before we get to business. I don’t know any thing about, you, except you’re cold and hungry; you look that. But 1 think it. is likely that you’ve got into some scrape, for if you hadn’t, you wouldn’t be loafing about stations and sleeping in freight cars. “I’m not going to ask you if you’ve done anything wrong, hut 1 am going to ask you if you’ve A Strong Kan Is strong nil over.

You’ve got i switched upon the wrong track I’m very sure, and as you haven’t any mother to bg}p you to get on the right one, God helpin’ me, I’ll do it, if you let me. “Preaching isn’t in my line but | there’s just one thing you don’t want to forget, and that is the Good Father is giving you another chance to back where you can d>> ! right and feel right. Are you j going to take it?” The boy answered faintly that he would try. He was taken into the freight-yard, and was under his new friend's eye constantly, j and it was not long before the i man had so won his confidence that he told him his story. There was trouble and dishon esty connected with it, but for two years the lad proved himself faithful and trustworthy in his new occupation. He was then advanced to a more responsible position, but there was something almost pathetic in his devotion to the man who had befriended j him, and in his respect for the ! religion he professed. Here was practical Christian j sympathy worthy of any mans I emulation. —Youth's Companion WEAVER. Everything appears to be quiet in and around our little town at present. There has been recently in our town several on the sick list, but are now considered convalescent. Mrs/ Caroline Elliot who is 75 years of age, and who has been an invalid for 85 years, still lives and yet is as flippant with the tongue as a Philadelphia lawyer. It is now generally conceded t hat the peaches were nearly all killed by tin* severe freeze we had in February. The weather has been unfavor able for farmers to prepure their lands for planting and yet they will have ample time to plant. We are in favor of the Panama canal, believing that it would add Ito the interest and prosperity of this country, and also prove a blessing to other countries. Cncle Sam is well able to have the work.i accomplished. J. B. 1 The editor of the Vidalia Ad vance must not be receiving his full quota of garden sass. He says : “an editor’s days are long and full of snags. Little thanks and no pay are his lot and he must be thankful if other people suffer him to breathe the same air they do. Did you ever notice the man \fl-ho speaks of “the little one-horse newspaper ?” All the magnify ing power of his eyes housed up in comprehending his own impor tance, and everything else looks like a pigmy in consequence. Ten chances to one the one-horse news paper is a six mule team with a driver and a traction engine, com pared with him. Asa rule such a man is a fool either accidentally or intentionally.” A. L.
