Georgia; By Joseph M. Brown, Governor of said State. Whereas, Official information has been received at this Depart ment that on the 15th day of No vember, 1904, in the County of Henry, one Bogue Stalls, colored, did kill and murder Lizzie Sparks, and escaped and is now fugitive from justice. I have thought proper, there fore, to issue this, my Proclama tion, hereby offering a reward of One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars for the apprehension and delivery of said Bogue Stalls with evidence sufficient to convict, to the Sheriff of Henry County and State. And I do, moreover, charge all officers in this State,Civil and Mili tary, to be vigilant in endeavoring to apprehend the said Bogue Stalls in order that he may be brought to trial for the offense with which he stands charged. Given under my hand and seal of the State, this the 9th day of February, 1911. Joseph M. Brown, Governor. By the Governor. Philip Cook, Secretary of State. t Forests of Stone. Stone forests are found in various parts of the world. In many cases they are hardened by some peculiarity of the atmosphere and are found stand ing just as they were \3»ien clothed with green foliage thousands of years ago. The Little Colorado river, in Ari zona. has long been famous as a local ity for such finds. At one place more than 1.500 cords of solid stone, tree trunks, sections, limbs and logs, were found by the government surveyors. Most of them were silieified, many seven to ten feet in diameter and from twenty to eighty feet in height. Geol ogists say that the petrified trees of the Little Colorado were once covered with marl over 1.000 feet in depth. Some of the trees have been changed to jasper and have assumed various hues; others resemble opal, and when broken open the core is often found lined with crystals of the most beau tiful tints, lie Wins the Palm. Many stories have been told of mean men, such as he who used a wart for a collar button and he whose birthday gift to his son consisted in washing the windows so that the lad might watch the cars go by. This man, however, seems to have won the palm. There was an extremely mean man in New Hampshire who was the proprietor of a hotel. By his direction rules were posted In the hostelry forbidding al most every conceivable privilege to those not guests of the place. There was absolutely no chance for the cas ual loafer to get newspapers, peps, Ink, stationery, etc. There were not even free seats in the office. One day he chanced to observe a efamte loafer gazing at the old clock that hung on the wall. The next day a sign was placed over the clock. It read, ‘‘This clock Is for the use of the guests of the hotel only.”—Success Magazine. Profligate Spendthrifts. The wealth of many of the ancient Romans was reckoned far Into the millions. Mark Antony during his somewhat checkered career squander ed no less than $7.35,000,000, and Ti berius left at his death over eighteen millions, which Caligula spent In less than a year. Records sh*w that this spendthrift paid $150,000 for oae sap per. Horace tells us that Pegellus, a singer, could in five days spend $40,- 000, and Clodius on a small wage* swallowed a pearl worth nearly $40,« 000. The estate of Crassus was valued at $8,400,000. Lucullus dined at the rate of SB,OOO a meal for several weeks. Lentulus was worth not less than six teen millions, and Apicus squandered nearly five millions of dollars in a few weeks. Irritating Americanisms. One of the most irritating of Amer icanisms is the use of “limb” for “branch.” “Limb” for “leg” has al ways been accepted as an American prudery, but what is the matter with “branch?” Careful Anglophile writers, »re beginning now to reintroduce this latter word, but “limb” has hitherto been the transatlantic word with all authors. If it is also old English we shall not mind so much, but Is It? The joke of the verge is at least 1.300 years oid, but how old is the English ver sion?—London Chronicle.
