A PROCLAMATION.
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.

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.
