A WISH.
When I hflve crossed the heavenly sea.
To join the grcutly majority,
l only wish that here below
Some friend may miss me as I go.
I hope that some'time in my life,
Amid the trouble, careund strife,
I niay have been a friend in need
To one, at least—a friend indeed.
My pictures grace no halls of fame;
No honor rolls contain my name;
The recognition that 1 craved
Was ever spoken—not ongruved.
Nor wealth, nor learning 1 , my desire—
To friendship did my soul aspire;
A friend, to me,* was worth far more
Than untold gold or ages’ lore.
This thought, then, shall 1 tnke with me.
As 1 sail o’er that, heavenly sea
"My one friend left alone below*.
Feel sorry that 1 bad to pro."
I Leslie Hubbcll.

The battle of New Orleans was over,
the city was saved, and Andrew Jack-
son was the hero of the hour. And so
they were holding a celebration in his
honor. New Orleans, with its mild, al
most tropical climate, is, of course, an
ideal place for winter celebrations: and
Jan. 23, 1S15, was bright and beautiful.
It was to be a day of public thanks
giving and rejoicing.
In the public square in front of the
cathedral a temporary triumphal arch
had been erected, with six Corinthian
columns festooned in flowers and ever
greens. Beneath this arch, each on a
pedestal, stood two pretty little girls,
holding laurel wreaths. Near by, two
older girls in Greek robes; one of them
was Liberty, the other Justice, and be
yond, in double file from the arch to the
church, were other damsels in white
robes covered with blue gauze and
wearing each a silver star upon her
forehead. These young women repre
sented the several States and Terri
tories, and each one carried a basket
filled with flowers, while behind her
was a lance thrust into the ground and
bearing a shield and a coat-of-arms of
the State which she represented. Fes
toons of evergreen linked the lances.
At the appointed time, amid the roar
of artillery and the shouting of the
crowd, Jackson entered the plaza, ac
companied by his staff officers. As he
ascended to the raised floor of the arch
the two little girls laid the laurel
wreaths upon his forehead, while a
beautiful creole girl, Miss Kerr, repre
senting Louisiana, thanked him in the
name of the State for his great work
in the battle. And then he entered the
cathedral, where he was welcomed by
the apostolic prefect, Abbe du Bourg,
and seated near the great altar. The
choir and the people chanted the “Te
Deum Laudamus.”
Less than a month after this scene
of hero worship Andrew Jackson was
involved in a violent altercation with
the civil authorities of Now Orleans,
which led to his being fined for con-
of court.
Lise a good general, Jackson had not
relaxed his vigilance after winning the
battle of New Orleans. He continued
to keep i rie c-i.y under strict martial
law, which irritated the city authori
ties. There was a faction in the
Louisiana Legislature which hated
Jackson so bitterly that when the law
making body met and passed a resolu
tion thanking the soldiers and officers
of Jackson's army for saving the city,
the name of Jackson himself was
omitted from the resolution.
The people of New Orleans were
furiouB over this deliberate insult to
the General, and their fury was still
furLher aroused when a seditious pub-
licr.ioti appeared attacking Jackson.
The General felt that this last attack
was a matter which not only affectetj
him personally, hut was likely to spread
disaffection among his soldiers, and he
promptly caused the arrest of the
author, tried him according to martial
law and sentenced him to imprisonment.
And then Jackson’s tangle with Un
law began. Judge Dominic A. Hall, a
Justice of the United States Supreme
Court, issued a writ of habeas corpus
directing Jackson to free the writer of
the pamphlet. That didn’t worry
Jackson in (he least. No mere. Judge
could terrify him, even though he was
a member of the highest court in the
land. He caused trie arrest of Judge
Hall and expelled him from the city.
March 13, 1915, however, the proc
lamation of peace hroni/ht marljal law
to an t r.d arid the cr :! vj'lri i'iei were
back in the saddle m New Orleans.

Jackson, however, made no pretense
of feeling anything but the deepest
contempt for Judge Hall, who forth
with fined him $1,000. The sentence
was greeted with a burst of hisses,
howls, threats and catcalls, Jackson
immediately wrote out a check for
$1,(100, handed it to the marshal and
made his way to the door, surrounded
by a surging, cheering crowd. They
carried him on their shoulders to the
streets, drew his carriage by hand to
his lodgings, where he made them a
speech, urging them to show their
appreciation of the blessings of liberty
and free government by willing submis
sion to the duly constituted authorities.
Meanwhile $1,000 had been raised by
subscription to reimburse Jackson for
the fine. The General refused to ac
cept it, however, directing that the
money lie distributed among the widows
and children of tile soldiers who fell in
the battle of New Orleans.
Almost three decades later (1843)
Congress returned to Jackson the
amount of the fine, with interest. The
total sum was $2,700.
It’s the Way of It.
Oglethorpe Echo.
We see going the rounds of the press
an article that drives home the fallacy of
sending off to mail order houses for
goods that can be bought at home.
Down in Alabama some time ago a
man went into-a store to buy a saw. He
saw the kind he wanted and asked the
price. It was $1.05, the dealer said.
"Good gracious,” said the man; “I
can get the same thing from the mail
order house for $1.35.”
"That is less than it cost me,” said
the dealer, "but I’ll sell it on the same
terms as the mail order house, just the
same.”
“All right,” said the custohier. "You
can send it on and charge it to my ac
count.”
"Not on your life,” the dealer re
plied. “No charge accounts. You can’t
do business with the mail order house
that way. Fork over the cash.”
The customer complied.
“Now, two cents postage and five
cents for a monfiy order.”
“What ”
"Now, two cents postage and five
cents for a money order to a mail order
house, you know.”
The customer, inwardly raving, kept
to his agreement and paid the seven
cents.
"Now twenty-five cents expressage. ”
"Well, I’ll be he said, but paid
it, saying: "Now, hand me that saw
and I’ll take it home myself and be rid
of this foolery.”
"Hand it to you? Where do you think
you are? You are in Alabama and I'm
in Chicago, and you’ll have to wait two
weeks for that saw.”
Whereupon the dealer hung the saw
on a peg and put the money in his cash
drawer.
“That makes $1.67,” he said. “It has
cost you two cents more and taken you
two weeks longer to get it than if you
had paid my price in the first place.”
To this some other telling factB might
be added.
Had the farmer sent off for that saw
the money would have been lost to the
community. Otherwise it would have
found its way into the local banks,
to be loaned to some one in the com
munity to start or enlarge or oper
ate some industry that would have
brought more people into the commu
nity to buy the farmers’ eggs and po
tatoes und the like, and he would have
doubtless handled the money several
times over during the year.
Or it would have gone so far towards
enabling the local merchant to carry a
better assortment of goods, or in doing
a larger volume of business for less
prices.
Or it might have done many other
things if kept at home that would have
in the end been of benefit to the far-
But, then, had the Alabama local mer
chant advertised the fact that he had
the saws the farmer needed for sale,
that he was offering them at a price
that was two cents lower than could be
obtained from the mail order house, ex-
pens s considered, or that the farmer
would not have to lose two weeks while
waiting for them to come from the mail
order house, many others might have
been kept from sending money to the
mail order houses.
Let the local merchant put such facts
before the home trade and the mail or
der house will not bother them much, if
iriy. I he home trade is not apprised of
the fact that they cati get things at
tiome; they are informed, by adverti
ng, that the mail order house has them
or sale.
That Alabama farmer was not alto
gether to blame for being disposed to
send his order off to that mail order
house. He was “from Missouri” and
needed to he told what he could do
the store of the local merchant.
Time to Stop Anti-Railroad Agi
tation.
Albany Herald.
On£ of the candidates for Governor
seems to be laying the basis of his cam
paign upon the preconceived idea that
the railroads or some combination of
railroad interests have formed a con
spiracy to get control of the Western
and Atlantic railroad, the State's prop
erty, without giving the State a fair
rental for it.
His reference to the re-leasing of the
State’s railroad property and other
things said in his letter to Hon. Thomas
I.. Watson, and in his forma] announce
ment of his candidacy, would seem to
give rise to the impression that Hon.
William J. Harris is preparing to launch
another anti-railroad campaign in Geor
gia. While he distinctly disavows any
antagonistic fooling toward the railroads
and takes pains to claim that "their
(the railroads’) employees are among
my best, friends,” he intimates that the
railroads are going to try to name the
next Governor of Georgia when he
wurningly declares that they must not
bo permitted to do it.
I lie Herald has no interest in any
railroad, or in any candidate for any of
fice who is either directly or indirectly
connected with any railroad, but it is
interested in the further development
of Georgia, and, recognizing the fact
that more railroads and better railroad
service are essential to that develop
ment, would regret to see any anti
railroad agitation in the State at this
time. We have had so much of this
sort of politics in Georgia already that
it is now next to impossible to induce
anybody to put any more money in rail
road property in this State.
It takes money to build railroads, and
we cannot reasonably expect those who
have money for investment to place it
where it will be subject to unfriendly
public sentiment and oppressive legisla
tion.
There are several railroad enterprises,
including one in which Albany is espe
cially interested, now seeking the nec
essary financial backing to enable them
to carry their plans to completion, and
more anti-railroad agitation and a cam
paign in which it would be made to ap
pear that the people of this Stute are
so prejudiced against railroads that
candidates for office appeal to that
prejudice to elect them, would natural
ly and inevitably have the effect of
further embarrassing every present and
prospective railroad enterprise in the
State.
Can’t we elect a Governor, and a Leg
islature, too, in Georgia this year with
out another campaign of anti-railroad
agitation? We already have our Rail
road Commission, with more power
than is given perhaps any other State
Railroad Commission in the country,
and it seems to us that there is no need
of any more anti-railroad agitation or
legislation in Georgia at this time.

The younger man had been complain
ing that he could not get his wife to
mend his clothes.
"I asked her to sew a button on this
vest laBt night and she hasn't touched
it, "he said.
At this the older man assumed the
air of a patriarch.
"Never ask a woman to mend any
thing,” he said. “You haven’t been
married very long, and I think I can
give you some serviceable suggestions.
When I want a shirt mended I take it
to my wife and flourish it around a lit
tle and say, ‘Where’s that rag bag? 1
want to throw this shirt away, it’s
worn out,’ I say with a few more flour
ishes.
“ ‘Let me see that shirt,’ my wife
says. Then, ‘Now, John, hand it to me
at once. ’
"Of course, I pass it over and she
examines it. ’Why, it only needs—;’
then she mends it."
Parents should never consider their

strong, true love of the parent’s heart.

Bank Accounts.
A bank account is not a thing of
beauty, but it is a very present help in
time of trouble.
A bank account is an insulation be
tween misfortune and hunger, between
no work and no shoes, and between old
age and the poor-house.
Putting money into the bank is one
of the least fascinating of occupatiwns.
But drawing it out when you haven't
any other means of getting it is as
pleasant as having it wished on you by
a rich uncle.
A bank account is on land what a life
preserver is at sea. Many a man who
has been compelled in the interests of
his own self-respect to tell his employer
to go to thunder, and points south, has
floated along on his hunk account until
he could find a new job where they did
not put all the honesty in the business
on placards to hang on the wall.
A hank account is as good as two doc
tors in time of sickness. Many a doc
tor has emptied gallons of assorted
medicines into a worrying man with lit
tle ellect, and has exclaimed in despair
that the man had no constitution.® But
tiiat was not the trouble. The man had
no hank account:, and the grocer was
beginning to lay off his politeness
when the wife came in to give an or
der. If the doctor had emptied $100
into the patient’s bank account his ap
petite would have come back in three
days. Still we cannot expect doctors
to do this when their rate per visit is
only $2 and gasoline is going up every
day.
A bank account is a bull dog on the
front porch in wolf time, and in old age
it is a rosy sunset. Still a good many
men do not like to put money in the
bank because the banker will use it and
get rich. So they deposit it in the sa
loon and on a gold-plated restaurant in
exchunge for dyspepsia and a large,
permanent thirst. These men are the
real socialists. Because later on, when
they die, they compel us to divide up
and pass a little money over to their
wives and children.
Cure For Stomach Disorders.

Hard on Mules and Women.
Miss Reda Freden, of the Cigurma-
kers’ Union, was one of the Pennsyl
vania delegation of women suffragists
that visited President Wilson last
month, and in a talk with a Washing
ton correspondent Miss Freden said:
“I sometimes think, when I consider
woman’s position to-day, of a Philadel
phia gentleman who made a horseback
tour.
"The gentleman-during his tour ar
rived one day at a cabin. Before the
cabin on a bench in the sun a man sat
smoking and cleaning a gun, while a
half dozen dogs lounged at his feet.
“ ‘Friend,’ said the gentleman, ‘can
I get dinner here?’
“ ‘Well, I guess ye kin, stranger,’
drawled the man, ‘if ye’ll wait till the
old woman turns up.’
“So the gentleman waited, and pret
ty soon a hot and tired woman came
down the road, leading a hot and tired
mule. They had been ploughing.
The woman greeted the visitor, and
then she chopped some wood, built a
fire, drew some water, killed a couple
of chickens, and in a short time had a
good dinner ready.
"The gentleman, while eating his
chicken, said: ‘You seem to have a fine
country here, friends.’
" ‘Fine,’ said the man, his mouth full
of chicken.
“ ‘I reckon it’s as fine a kentry.’said
the woman, rising to fetch more bread,
’as fine a kentry as there is for men
and dawgs; but, I tell ye, stranger, it’s
rhighty hard on mules and women.’ ”
Health a Factor in Success.
The largest factor contributing to a
man’s success is undoubtedly health. It
has been observed that a man is sel
dom sick when his bowels are regular—
he is never well when they are consti
pated. For constipation you will find
nothing quite so good as Chamberlain’s
Tablets. They not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
strengthen the digestion. They are
sold by all dealers.
A woman is awful clever to appear
fond of baseball when she doesn’t know
anything about the game.
