THE BEAUTIFUL LAND OF THE DEAD.
By tho hut of the poasont where poverty weeps,
And nigh to the tower of tho king,
CIoso, close to tho cradlo whore Infancy sloops,
And joy loves to linger and Bing,
Lies a gardon of light full of heaven's perfume,
Where never a tenrdrop la shed,
And tho roso and tho lily aro over in bloom —
Tis tho beautiful land of tho dead.
Etch moment of life a messenger comes
And beckons man over tho way;
Through tho heart-sobs of women and rolling of
drums,
Tho army of mortals obey;
Few lips that have not kissed a motionless brow,
A face from each fireside has fled,
But we know that our loved ones are watching us
now
In tho beautiful land of tho dead.
Not a charm tha wo know e'er tho bound'ry was
cross'd
And wo stood in tho valley alone;
Not a trait that we prize in our darlings is lost—
They have fairer and lovelier gown;
As the lllioa burst forth when tho shadows of
night
Into bondngo at daybreak aro led. •
So they bask in tho glow' of tho pillar of light.
In tho beautiful land of tho dead.
Oh, tho dead—our dead—tho beautiful deudt
Are clou to the heart of etornity wed;
When, tHe lost deed is done and tho last word is
said.
Wo will meet in the beautiful land of the dead.

TELEPHOIS ES 342 and
The Secret of Happiness.
Dorothy Dlx.
The secret of happiness is: Cultivate
conceit—it matters not what others
think of you, so long as you think well
of yourselr.
Self-conceit is the dope, the poppy
juice, the hasheesh that gilds, that
pads, and upholsters this hard old world
and makes it soft and beautiful, and
converts us commonplace, ordinary hu
man beings into houris of grace and
beauty, and Solomons of wit and wis
dom.
Of course, our fellow-creatures do not
share our pipe-dream vision of our
selves. So much the worse for them.
They are poor, miserable, short-sighted,
envious louts, whose lack of apprecia
tion we can afford to despise; for as
long as we admire ourselves enough we
can even dispense with the glad hand
from the audience, and be happy still.
All women, for instance, long to be
fieautiful, but who is the woman who
derives real happiness from her pulchri
tude? It is the .woman whose classical
features and perfection of coloring and
exquisite form cause every eye to fol
low them? Not at all. It is the woman
with a snubbed nose and hay-colored
hair and. a stumpy figure, but fth’tf lias
been blessed with an overweening van
ity, who can spend hours every day in
blissful contemp'ation of her own re
flection in the mirror.
One of the homeliest and most unat
tractive women that I ever knew in my
life used to refuse to go out on the
street alone, because she honestly be
lieved that men were so overcome by
the sight of her beauty that she was in
danger of being seized and abducted.
Another class of perfectly happy wo
men are those who believe that they
have a hypnotic power over men, and
that every man whom they meet is des
perately in love with them. If a man
pays them the ordinary compliments of
polite society, they see deep significance
in his every word. They read hidden
meanings in a casual glance, and are
dead sure that any gentleman would
get up and forsake his happy home and
leave wife and children if one of them
merely gave him a nod!
The funny part of all this is that, nine
times out of ten, these women are ut
terly lacking in ail charm, and the men
are raging inwardly at having to pay
them any attention, but nothing jars
the self-satisfied ladies’ belief that they
have got eyeify fascinator, from Cleo
patra down, lashed to the mast.
The moral of all this is that if women
would devote less time to trying to
make themselves good-looking and at
tractive, and more to cultivating a be
lief that they were already living pic
tures gnd irresistible sirens, they would
get a better run for their money.
“Beauty lies in the eye of the behold
er,” says the proverb, and this has a
double-action effect when the eye of
the beholder is your own eye, gazing at
your own perfections.
Who are the parents that get the
most pleasure out of their children? The
people whose offspring are really most
physically and mentally perfect? Not
at all. The conceited parents. The fath
er and mother who are convinced that
their ordinary little bratB are infant
wonders.
I go to houses where there are charm
ing children, beautiful as cherubs, in
telligent, clever little chaps, but who
are kept well in the background. They
are never brought forward to sing or
recite, nor do their parents mmopolize
the conversation by telling that John
nie has already given unmistakable ev
idence that he is going to be President
of the United States and that Susie has
a voice that makes Tetrazzini Bound
like a crow.
I go to other houses where lumpy lit
tle boys and girls are dragged into the
limelight to do. idiotic stunts, and &here
the doting parents never let the con
versation wander from the smart things
that Tommie and Susie did and said.
These self-complacent people, who sim
ply revel in the belief that they have
batched out a nest full of swans, are
the people who get’the most fun out of
Who are the men who are most hap
py in their achievements? The big men
who do big things? Not on. your life.
They aro never satisfied. They are
forever seeing the mistakes they made
and how much better they might have
done.
i The blissfully joyous are tho compla
cent little men who aro swelled up to
the bursting point over some two-penny
success. It is not tho head of the big
firm who brags. It is the clerk who
holds you up for hours and hours, while
he has u perfectly heavenly time, tell
ing you every detail of how he sold
Smith and Jones a bill of goods. He be
lieves himself to be a greater financier
than Mr. Morgan or Mr, Rockefeller,
and he gets ten times the happiness
out of this illusion than they do out of
their millions.
Ordinary people always have a fiy in
their ointment. If thoy buy a house
there iB always some drawback to it.
If they purchase an automobile it has
some defect. Not so with the conceited
man. The minute anything passes into
his possession it becomes flawless, and
takes on perfection it never had be
fore. He always lives in the only spot
where there is no malaria or mosqui
toes. His gun is the best ever made.
His cook a cordon bleu. And he never
tires telling you about them.
Cultivate conceit if you would be
happy. It won’t endear you to your
friends and neighbors, but what does
that matter? You will love yourself
enough to make up for any other af
fection that you happen to miss.
Why Daniel Liked Grant.
Washington Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.
Senator John W. Daniel, of Virginia,
some time since told the story of why
he regarded Grant as “a true and hon
orable soldier.” It was because Grant
once saved the life of a friend of Dan
iel’s. This is the way Senator Daniel
told the story;
“Along in January or February, 1865,
a young Virginia soldier, about 17 or 18
years of age, (and I want you to under
stand that every boy in Virginia from
12 to 14 years of age and upward was
carrying arfhs at that time,) was in
structed by his commander, who was
Col. John S. Mosby, to cross the Poto
mac to a certain postoffice in Maryland
and bring to him the mail. He wanted
it for the military information he could
get out of it.
“THis young man was in his full Con
federate uniform, and with a comrade
or two proceeded to execute the order.
Ho arrived at the postoffice, and the
postmaster showed fight. The young
soldier killed him. He got the mail
and brought it and delivered it to his
commander. A short time afterward
he was captured. He was taken to the
city of Washington. He was courtmar-
tialed and condemned te be shot for
murder.
“At that stage of the proceedings
his father and mother, whom I knew
well—and there were no more respect
able or reputable people in Virginia—
went to the city of Washington and
laid the case before the President of
the United States, Andrew Johnson.
He referred them to Gen. Grant. Gen.
Grant sent for the papers, read them
over, and wrote upon the back of them
words to this effect:
“ ‘This young soldier, in full uniform,
obeyed the orders of his commander; if
he had not done so he ought to have
been shot. As he did so, it would be
murder to shoot him. He Bhould be in.
stantly discharged.’
“And that is the reason why I am
glad to pay the respect of a soldier to
the brave, true and honorable Ameri
can soldier, Ulysses S. Grant.”
The father of Senotor Dolllver, of
Iowa, was a Methodist circuit rider in
the early 60’s ip West Virginia.
One Sunday morning he was on his
way to preach at one of his several ap
pointments, when he met a young fel
low trudging along with a mattock on
his shoulder. Mr. Dolliver, anxious to
do good at any time, stopped his horse
and said:
“Good morning, my son; where are
you going this fine day with a mattock
on your shoulder?”
4..The young follow answered, “lam
going over here to dig out a big ground
hog; where in the thunder are you go
ing?”
“I am out looking up some of thelost
sheep of Israel,” replied the minister.
The young fellow’s face lighted up
and he exclaimed: “There’s a big
buck over here at Uncle Billy’s, and
I’ll bet that’s one of them.”
Will Judge Ruisell Be in Race for
Governor ?
Atlanta, May U.—For the second
time Judge Richard B. Russell will en
ter the race for Governor. His formal
announcement is expected in tho course
of the next few days. This announce
ment is expected to follow his return
from Montreal, where ho is going next
week us a delegate from Georgia to the
annual Supremo Council of tho Royal
Arcanum.
Judge Russell, it is understood, will
make the race for Governor on a local
option plutform. Just how this plat
form will be received is tho subject of
much discussion. Many claim that tho
State prohibition movement has been
growing, while others take the position
that tho local option platform will
provo popular. It is generally believed
that there will be a strong fight mode
in tho next Legislature on the near-
beer question. Tho prohibitionists claim
that they will be able to eradicate the
“near-beer curse” and make other im
provements in the prohibition law. On
the other hand, the whiskey interests
are preparing for a fight, and they
hope to have the prohibition law re
pealed and local option substituted.
Some of tho more conservative whis
key men say that if they do not suc
ceed in repealing the prohibition law at
the next Legislature, they will at least
pave tho way for a change in the law
next year.
One thing is certain, if Judge Russell
makes the race for Governor on a local
option platform the Georgia Anti-Sa
loon League will oppose him to the bit
ter end. The league will not counte
nance any compromise on the liquor
question. It stands for prohibition,
pure and undefiled, and the law rigidly
enforced, and will oppose any candi
date for any State or local office who
advocates otherwise.
Atlanta Georgian, 16th inst.
“Any statement made to the effect
that my proposed candidacy for the
Governorship of Georgia would be based
on a local option platform is absolutely
and wholly unauthorized. There aro
other issues far more important 'than
local option.”
ThiB statement was made Monday by
Judge R. B. Russell, of the Court of
Appeals, just as he was leaving for
Canada with Mrs. Russell to attend the
grand assembly of the Royal Arcanum
in which Judge Russell will represent
the State.
"As to the issues of the coming cam
paign, it cannot be said at present what
will come up. Untii I can have a con
ference with my colleagues I can give
no details as to my proposed platform.
Nothing yet has been outlined. There
are several issues, as I remarked in the
beginning, and at the proper time they
will be brought before the public. There
is one issue in particular that in my
mind ia of far more importance than
anything else at present—but more of
that later. I can say, however, tbaf all
legislation on this particular subject up
to the present has been a mere subter
fuge.
‘It would not be falr to myself or my
candidacy to enter upon a discusaion or
declare myself upon certain subjects
now, as I am to be away from the
State for two weeks. It would be im
possible to defend my position a thou
sand miles or more from home. A full
statement will be given to the public
upon my return from Canada.”
IT’S YOUR KIDNEYS.
Gov. Bob Taylor on “Love.”
I saw the morning, with purple quiver
and burnished bow, stand tiptoe on the
horizon and shoot sunbeams at the van
ishing darkness of night, and then reach
up and gather the stars and hide them
in her bosom, and then bend down and
tickle tho slumbering world with straws
of light till it woke with laughter and
song. A thouBnnd buglo-calls from tho
rosy fire3 of tho east heralded her com
ing; a thousand smiling meadows kissed
her garments as she passed, and ten
thousand laughing gardens unfurled
their flower-flugs to greet her. The heart
of the deep foreat throbbed a tribute of
birdsong, and tho bright wnters rippled
a melody of welcome. Young life and
love, radiant with hope and Bparkling
with the dewdrops of exultant joy, came
hand in hand, tripping and dancing in
her shining train, and I wished that the
heaven of the morning might last for
ever.
1 saw tho evening hang her silver
crescent in the sky and rival the splen
dor of tho dawn with the glory of the
twilight. I saw her wrap the shadow
around her, and with a lullaby on her
lips rock the weary world to reBt; then
I saw her with her dipper full of dew-
drops and her basket full of dreams,
slip back to the horizon of the morning
and steal the Btars again. The gardens
hurled their flower-flagB and the mead
ows fell asleep; tho songs of the deep
foreBt melted into sighs, and tho melan
choly waters whispered a pensive good
night to the drowsy birds and sleepy
hollows. Life and love, with the halo of
parting day upon their brows and tho
starlight tangled in their hair, walked
arm in arm among the gathering shad
ows. anfl wove all the sweet memories
of the morning into their happy'evening
song; and I wished that the heaven of
the evening might never end. So,
Tho mornings como, tho ovonlngH ro.
Till ravon locks turn white ns snow;
Tho ovoninRa ro, tho mornlnRB como,
Till hearts aro still and llpB aro dumb;
Tho mornlnRH stool tho hearts in vuin,
For ovoninR stculs them back again,.
Thus life steals us from the dust. We
wake to think and sleep to dream. We
love and laugh, and weep, and sing, and
sigh until death steals ub back to dust
again.

Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles. A Newnan Citizen
Shows How to Cure Them.
Many people never suspect their kid
neys. If suffering from a lame, weak
or aching back they think that it is only
a muscular weakness; when urinary
trouble sets in they think it will soon
correct itself. And so it is with all oth
er symptoms of kidney disorders. That
is just 'where the danger lies. You
must cure these troubles or they may
lead to diabetes or Bright’s disease.
The best remedy to use is Doan’s Kid
ney Pills, They cure all ills which are
caused by weak or diseased kidneys.
Newnan people testify to permanent
cures.

health since.”

Comptroller-General Wright a Possible
Candidate.
Atlanta Georgian', loth inat.
The announcement Saturday by for;
mer Gov. Hoke Smith that ho would
not consent to be a candidate for the
Governorship this year has again
brought forward the name of Comp
troller-General William A. Wright as a
possible candidate.
Mr, Smith’s decision is generally
taken as final, despite the effort of
some of his supporters to force him to
reconsider.
It was accepted as a fact that Mr.
Wright would not be a candidate if Mr.
Smith determined to run. Now that
Mr. Smith has stated he was out of the
question as a candidate, it iB said many
of his supporters will line up behind
Mr. Wright.
“No meeting of the friends of former
Gov. Hoke Smith has been held since
the gathering of Saturday afternoon in
the offices of W. Woods White in the
Candler building, at which time resolu
tions were adopted protesting against
Mr. Smith's refusal to become a candi
date.
Very soon after Saturday afternoon’s
papers containing Mr. Smith's an
nouncement reached the street several
of his friends gathered in the office of
Mr. White and resolutions were adopt
ed protesting against this action, as
suring him of support and culling upon
the people of the State to make known
their wishes.
“Yes, sir,” remarked the self-made
man, proudly, as he wrote his name in
the hotel register, “I’m one of those
chaps who always pay as they go.”
"Any baggage?" queried the clerk,
as he swung the book around.
“No,” answered the other.
“Then,” rejoined the clerk, “you are
one of those chaps who are expected to
payaB they confe. Two dollars, please."
