Her Effort to Correct Her Error About
Charloa and Mary Lamb.
Charles Lamb, the beloved Ella of
the essays, wrote both tragedies and
comedies, but was not a successful
playwright. When his farce "Mr. H.”
was produced at the Drury Lane the
ater it failed conspicuously, and the
genial author, who was In the audi
ence, himself joined with companion
able vigor in hissing It.
It Is, Indeed, an airy trifle, too Blight
In texture for the professional Btoge,
but it hns proved a chnrmlng play for
amateurs. At a recent performance
by a college dramatic society a little
dialogue took place between two ladles
in the audience which would certainly
have delighted Lamb himself could he
have heard It
“ ‘Mr. H„ a farce In two acts by
Charles Lamb.’ ” read one of them
from her program. “Do you know, 1
had quite forgotten that Lamb was a
dramatic author.”
“Oh. my dear,” exclaimed her neigh
bor, with a superior smile, "of course
he was! Surely you must remember
that he and his sister collaborated
with Shakespeare.”
"Collaborated with Shakespeare!"
exclaimed the first speaker, startled
out of her politeness. “Ridiculous!
What could have put such an Idea—
Oh. you must be thinking of the ‘Tales
From Shakespeare,’ by Charles and
Mary Lamb.”
There was mirth in her voice, and
the superior person, flushing, perceived
that overhasty “cramming 1 for the oc
casion had led her Into error. She
tried to retrieve herself.
‘I did not mean collaborated with
him, of course.” she explained loftily.
‘That was merely a slip of the tongue.
1 1 meant translated him.” — Youth’s

Can’t, Be Cut Off With a Shilling.
French parents (or, at all events,

spose of by will) are precluded from
e gratification of cutting a mutinous

tablished by law which no testator
n bequeath away from his offspring

se of half his property according to
s pleasure; the other half must ln-
ltably pass to the child. Those with
o children can dispose of only one-

The Sealskin Sweatbox Finally Went
to the Dogs.
The missionary sent to the States for
a magic lantern and the necessary
slides. Thirteen months later they
reached him.
Everything In Baffin Laud dates
from that ever memorable magic lan
tern exhibition. From 300 miles around
the expectant Eskimos came In behind
their dog teams to participate In the
wonderful event. The sealskin church
was filled to overflowing. The specta
tors were packed as closely as sardines
in a tin. The scent of sperm oil and
blubber and sweat soaked furs min
gled Id the air. Although the ther
mometer outside registered 40 degrees
below zero, the perspiration poured iu
streams down the faces of the enthusi
astic audience. And when the strag
gling list of arctic explorers who have
touched at Cumberland sound have
long since been forgotten the recol
lection of that magic lantern show
will linger in the minds of the Eskimo
from Meta Incognita to Cockburn Land.
But a few nights later a sad fate
betell the sealskin church. It was
eaten up by a pack of hungry Eskimo
dogs. These savage creatures, starved
almost to death, made a raid on the
edifice during a blinding snowstorm.
Managing to get on top of the roof,
they soon tore boles in, the sealskin
covering, and. In spite of the exertions
of the missionary and his entire con
gregation. they actually ran away with
the greater portion of the frozen skin.
Which, at a safe distance, they pro
ceeded to devour—Everybody's Maga

Lingering Superstition#.
“Will a lucky gentlewoman give an
unlucky one a tiny mascot to bring
luck?" runs an advertisement In aD
English paper. Here was a poor soul
—for If there Is a creature on the face
of the earth whose fate calls for pity
It Is a gentlewoman who Is down-
keeping in her poverty some of that
superstition or faith, whatever it may
be called, wbieb is the only thing that
keeps mlsforune from crushing the
sufferer. If only’ she could get the
right charm she might Induce fate to
look kindly on her! People call this
a practical age. but evidences of su
perstition continue to appear. A law
suit not long agq revealed the fact that
an astrologer kept a motorcar and had
a fine house, etc., all of which came
out of the proceeds of a zodiacal mag
azine.

‘Bleached Flour Case on Trial.
New Orleans, Jan. 26.—A large sec
tion of the public will await with inter
est the final dedision in a case which
came up for hearing before Judge Fos
ter in the Federal Court here to-day.
The case is the first to come to trial
that involves all of the disputed points
in the so-called bleached flour contro
versy between the millers of the coun
try, on the one hand,' and the Depart
ment of Agriculture, which is seeking
to enforce the Pure Food Laws. That
the Government expects a hard fight
is evidenced by the fact that it has
employed several special attorneys to
assist the United States District At
torney in prosecuting the case now on
trial.
The bleached flour controversy be
gan when Dr. Wiley, the pure food ex
pert of the Department of Agriculture,
ruled that the process was harmful to
the public health and a violation of the
Federal Pure Food Laws. The process,
which has been used for several years
by the millers in many sections of the
country, consists of a treatment of
freshly-ground flour in a machine in
vented by a man named Allsop, which,
through the operation of certain gases,
takes out the moisture of the flour.
Unbleached flour, if placed in the
sun, will dry out and become white in
a short time, but flour allowed to lie in
barrels never becomes entirely dry,
and while moisture remains the flour
retains its golden yellow hue. It haB
been proved that the whiter the flour
the whiter the bread will be, and man
ufacturers who wished Ijo hold the fa
vor of housewives who take pride in
the whiteness of their bread were quick
to take advantage of Alisop’s invention,
which in a few minutes accomplished
what would take months of natural
process, and which always insured ab
solutely white flour.
Dr. Wiley declares that the use of
gages in the bleaching process is det
rimental to health.
Town of Bowdon Swept by Fire.
Carrollton, Ga., Jan. 27.—The south
side of the town of Bowdon was almost
completely destroyed by fire this morn
ing. All the business houses in one
block were destroyed, with the excep
tion of the Bowdon bank and the store
house of J. W. Barrow.
The business of F. M. Vanse was to
tally destroyed; insurance to cover.
The Bowdon News office, $800 damage,
partially insured; a jewelry shop, bar
ber shop, pressing club and telephone
storage room all burned, no insurance.
The stock of goods of J. B. Moore, par
tially destroyed and damaged; insurance
to cover most of the loss. The store
house of B. A. Styles & Son was dam
aged, but most of the Btock was saved.
The house occupied by Styles & Son
was owned by J, L, Lpyvorn.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Of all the lessons that' humanity has
to learn in life’s school, the hardest is
to learn to wait. Not to wait with
folded hands and claim life’s prize with
out effort, but having struggled, labor
ed and toiled and crowded the years
with efforts and trials, and yet see not
the result that all this would seem to
warrant, nay, perhaps disaster, instead.
To stand firm at such a crisis and not
to lose hold or relax effort is true great
ness, whether achieved by man or wo
man. If we would have life crowned
with success, if after toil, labor and ef
fort we would lose our reward, let us
not turn back nor give up, but hold on,
be firm, patient, hopeful, and wait.

The Debauchery of Dress.
A Southern newspaper man is respon
sible for the following growl:
‘It is said that the chancellories of
Europe are appalled at the amount of
money that is going into warships that
become Obsolete in ten years. ' They
might well consider the greater amount
of money that is going into dress that
is useless and which becomes obsolete
in six months.
‘ ‘The nations have established a Hague
conference to put an end to the fol
ly of war. Another conference should
be provided to put an end to the folly
of dress.
“We work all the week so as to pro
vide gay trappings for Sunday, and we
go to church to watch and pray, (but
chiefly to watch,) and we call ourselves
religious.
“There is no display such as may be
seen in tho fashionable church; no
where is vanity more gratified and
pride more pampered than where we
assemble to worship a deity who, when
on earth, had not whereon to lay His
head, and whose disciples were ordered
forth without purse or scrip or shoes,
but in garb most modest.
“Strange paradox! One warship is
built by one nation, and all other nations
must follow suit. One gown or hat is
purchased by one woman, and it is call
ed ‘fashionable’ by the modistes, and
all other women must buy gowns and
hats. What fojly I 1
“The drink bill of the various nations
is appalling; likewise the tobacco bill;
likewise the cigar bill; likewise many
other less and avoidable bills. The un
necessary dress bill of the nation ex
ceeds them all. The debauchery of
dress is quite as harmful.’’
Revenue Officers After Atlanta Blind
Tigers.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 25.—United States
revenue officers are on the trail of At
lanta blind tigers, and, if reports are to
be believed, their end is near at hand.
Under the new law which prohibits C.
O. D. shipments and requires the label
ing of every package, the Government
is able to trace every shipment of.whis-
ky.
Several of the best known “boot leg-
gers” have already been confronted by
a United States revenue officer and
notified that, in order to retail whisky,
he must take out a retail liquor dealer’s
license. The tigers are afraid to do this
because they are afraid it might lead to
their detection by the city officials.
As a result of the watchfulness of
Uncle Sam’s officials many of the whis
ky-sellers have already gone out of bus
iness, and the others are plying their
trade in fear and trembling.
A witness in a. railroad case at Fort
Worth, asked to tell in his own way
how the accident happened, said:
“Well, Ole and I was walking down
the track, and I heard a whistle, and I
got off the track, and . the train went
by, and I got back on the track, and I
didn’t see Ole; but I walked along, and
pretty soon I seen- Ole’s hat, and I
walked on and seen one of Ole’e legs,
and then I seen one of Ole’s arms, and
then another leg, and then over on the
other side Ole’s head, and I says, My
God I Something muBter happened to

The divorce evil in this country is fast

but no section of the country is free
from it. In current divorce trials many
shameful revelations are being made, j
