CONCERNING LUNCHES. t ■4 Places Where the Character Is Brought Out.—The Gregarinns Luncher*. In vino veritaa is an ol«l Baying that has much of truth in it; but it was said by somebody when the drinking of wine was universal. A free translation of the proverb, for present purposes, might l*i made thus: “At lunch one’s real charac ter is revealed.” The character comes out, wine or no wine. There is the luncher who is always thinking what tlach dish coats and whether he can afford it. He carefully studies the hill of faro, and selects from it the cheapest dish that his stomach can digest. He never takes the extras—-feels that he can not afford pie or wine or the after dinner coffee that is indispensable to the true epicure. Ho eats because he has to live, and gets very little enjoyment out of it. Ho grudges the quarter that he spends daily, and goes into elaborate mental cal- - culations as to how much he could save in the course of a year if he only could go without any lunch at all. “Three hundred (Lavs at twenty-five cents a day makes ^>75 a year, which would buy five suits of clothes or pay rent for two montlis.” Alas, that man was mad# with a stomach that requires filling so t oftertl Then there is the luncher who has plenty of money, hut no appetite; wlic is blase in the matter of food, who sjiends $2 a day for his midday refection, and yet gets little satisfaction out of it. These two are, perhaps, equally un happy. Blessed is the man who has a good appetite! If he cannot afford more, his five Cent sandwich and piece of pie, washed down with a five cent glass of milk, affords him more real enjoyment than Dehnonico’s choicest dainties afford the sated millionaire. If, by chance, he makes a lucky strike, and can command half a dollar, how ho revels in the cut of roast beef, the glass of ale and the pie and French coffee that make up what sterns to him a princely banquet! See the good natured man! How the humor in him, developed by the process of eating and drinking, shines out every word and look and gesture! At lunch, the loquacious become more talk ative; the reserved more silent; the eco nomical more sparing of money; the imaginative, bolder and sometimes more unveracious; the witty, quicker and hap pier in their turns of thought and phrase. It is the gregarious lunchers who get the most pleasure out of their “nooning " There aro dozens of places, high and low, where day after day the same com pany of two -or four, or half a dozen, meet at lunch time. These are not of the hurried sort, who must get througt as quickly as possible, and be back at the office iu half an hour from the timo of leaving. They take three-quarters of an hour at- table. They tell stories, talk per- onal gossip, discourse on politics, horse racing, baseball, or whatever topic comes uppermost. This is all carried on in a good natured way that ought to, and probably does, aid digestion wonderfully. A word should be said about the rest - less luncher, who is never satisfied to go two days consecutively to the same place; who is always looking up new restau rants and who, in consequence, is badly served more than half the time. Some men are constructed in this scattering kind of way, and cannot be happy with out constant change; hut they have the worst of.it in the long run.—J. A. Stew art in The Epoch. Soldiers »rd Newspapers. “We have grown so accustomed to newspapers,” said an oW soldier, “that those of us living in cities fail to appre ciate how necessary they are to our com fort and contentment of mind. Now, I was in the Confederate army, and during our long campaigns in the south we rarely heard from home. A newspaper—and we saw few of them—was as welcome as a square meal to a starving man. At the battle of Chicamauga a detachment of Federals were posted liehind Lee & Gor don's mills, on the bafcks of the Chick- amauga river, opposite us. Our division was ordered to charge them. We plunged into the water and started for the enemy. ' ‘‘The Yankees, however, caught us in a shrewd trap. They cut down the dam just as we were in the middle of the stream, and a torrent of water came down upon us. It came up to our waists and nearly swept us off our feet. W e hail to hold our guns above our heads in order to keep them dry, and you know that wading through deep water is slow work. The enemy, in the meantime, were firing upon us. hut we managed to plunge through the water and reach the bank. Just as I climbed up I saw lying iq>on the ground a copy of a Kentucky paj)er. It was only two days old and entirely unsoiled. I stooped down in the middle of the charge, under the hottest kind of a lire, and finding up that paper put in my pocket. Vi e drove the Yankees out of the mills, and after the battle was over. I sat down and read the paper, advertisements and all, with the most intense pleasure. It passed from one soldier to another, and they read it until it was so badly worn that the letters could no longer be deciphered. ’ ’—Chicago Ledger. The Prince of Wale*.

We had chicken, corned beef, beans, bread, crack ers, hard tack, salmon, lobsters, pickles, alt, vinegar, mixed nuta, oranges and bananas. So you seo that we were not likely to starve, had we gone, as we thought we might, into the deep wilds of Michigan or Canada. We also had hooks and lines for fish, and a keen ax, to aid us in the woods, or wherewith to chop our way out of the wreck had we bc-en ast away on one of the great lakes. And we had an electric light for use at night. Our plans had been well laid; and had not Moore been hurt, or had not the bal loon been tom at the start, our voyage would perhaps have been more to our liking. A few final details may interest you. The hist and first sound to reach us, while we were above a mile high, was the sharp shriek of a locomotive. I saw one express train as we soared above its tiny track; and it looked like a mere toy train a few inches long which did not seem to move faster than a snail. Yet we knew that it was on its way with all its usual speed, thirty miles an hour, at least. During our voyage we ate and drank just as we might have done at a picnic. Truly, we lived “high. ” A luncheon above the clouds was to me a very novel affair. I threw over the peel of an or ange. Down, straight down it shot, a Hash of gold in the sun, 100 feet, 1,000 eet, a mile. Long before it struck the earth it had gone out of sight. But be fore it disappeared it came to a point where it seemed to stand still in midair. —St. Nicholas. L. M. FARMER, Attorney at Law, Newnan, Ga. (Office over First National Bank.)

The Broker’s Victim. “Does anybody ever get rich dealing on i margin?” Mr. Dunn was asked. “1 have never yet seen such an indi vidual; they all go broke.” “Then I* should think the business would die out.” “Business is not as it used to be. but '.here tire always pigeons to be plucked. Watch any prominent broker's office for i year and you will see a complete change n the people who frequent it. One crowd gets cleaned out and another crowd takes ts place. ’ ’ “Who are the victims?” “They come from every walk of life, mt the broker’s best customers are mer chants and business men who begin by -i-king a little money that they can spare without hurting them.
