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. Judge Hall came hack to N-'W Orleans ami cited Andrew Jackson to come !>*• f -re him and show cau-e why he should not he fined for contmnpr of court. Trie General cheerfully ag - - I o come. He came in civilian’s .ln*ss id rho old ■Spanish court-hou-i--,' and hid airnos reached the bar hi-ror- rj nized. Then a roar of up.

Thi I -, » ho w.i .1 ick-o-i S -ndio' r. ij; —'here ' protected 'he in vaders of the country will shield and protect this court or perish in the effort. Proceed with your sentence." 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. Did you know that CALOMEL IS MERCURY, and that its mercurious effects will ruin the system, while GRIGSBY’S LIV-VER-LAX is purely vegetable and can t»e used with perfect safety? Ask John R. Cates Drug Co. 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 obligations to their children discharged when they have fed and clothed and housed and otherwise cured for the lit tle bodies. They should provide food for their minds, and ever keep the lit tle lives clothed in the beautiful white robes of purity, and sheltered by the strong, true love of the parent’s heart. at 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. Disorders of the stomach may be avoided by the use of Chamberlain’s 1 ablets. Many very remarkable cures have been effected by these tablets. Sold by all dealers. 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.
