IT WILL END.
When the way ia drear and the shadows crowd.
And the wolf on the track howls long 1 and loud.
And the lonvc. long lane that shows never a bend.
Just say to yourself, "II will end, will end.”
When the sun beams hot on the desert road
And you wearily plod ’neath your own hard load,
Just say to yourself aB you stubbornly uo,
"It will end some time, 1 know, 1 know”
When the world stands off to your sob and moan,
And you face the foes of your fate alone,
When the face of the crowd shows never a friend,
Just say to yourself, "it will end, will end.”
It will end some time, dear heart, somewhere,
The weary march and the Raunt despair;
When the day slips to the Rolden west.
And the tired heart finds its rest, sweet rest.

Senator Vest’s Famous Tribute.
Our Dumb AnimalB.
One of the moat eloquent tributes
ever paid to the dog waa delivered by
Senator Vest, of Missouri, some years
ago, and although it has been published
several times since, we are reprinting
it once more, in response to many re
quests. The distinguished Senator was
attending court in a country town, and
while waiting for the trial of a case in
which he was interested, was urged by
the attorneys in a dog case to help
them. Voluminous evidence was intro
duced to show that the defendant had
shot the dog in malice, while other evi
dence went to show that the dog had
attacked defendant. Vest took no part
in the trial, and was not disposed to
spiak. The attorneys, however, urged
him to speak. Being thus urged he
arose and said:
“Gentlemen of the jury: The best
friend a man has in the world may turn
against him and become his enemy.
His son or daughter that he has reared
with loving care may prove ungrateful.
Those who are nearest and dearest to
us, those whom we trust with our hap
piness and our good name, may become
traitors to their faith. The money that
a man has he may lose. It flies away
from him, perhaps when he needs it
most. A man’s reputation may be sac
rificed in a moment of ill-considered ac
tion. The people who are prone to fall
on their knees to do us honor when suc
cess is with us, may be the first to
throw the atone of malice when failure
settles its cloud upon our headB. The
one absolutely unselfish friend a man
can have in this selfish world, the one
that never deserts him, the one that
never proveB ungrateful or treacherous,
is his dog. A man’s dog standB by him
in prosperity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He wilt sleep on the
cold ground, when the wintry winds
blow and the snow drives fiercely, if
only he may be near his master's side.
He will kiss the hand that has no food
to offer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounters with the
roughness of the world. He guards the
sleep of his pauper master as if he
were a prince. When all other friends
desert, he remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to pieces he
is as constant in his love as the sun in
its journeys through the heavertB. If
fortune drives the maBter forth an out
cast in the world, friendless and home
less, the faithful dog asks no higher
privilege than that of accompanying
him, to guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies, and when the last
scene of all comes, and death takes the
master in its embrace, and his body is
laid away in the cold ground, no matter
if all other friends pursue their way,
there by the graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between his
paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert
watchfulness, faithful and true even
unto death. ”
Then Vest sat down. He had spoken
in a low voice, without ,a gesture. He
made no reference to the evidence or
the merits of the case. When he fin
ished judge and jury were wiping their
eyes. The jury filed out, hut soon re
turned with a verdict of $500 for the
plaintiff, whose dog was shot; and it
was said that some of the jurors wauled
to hang the defendant.
The little boy was evidently a firm
believer in the old adage, “Of two evils,
choose the least.” Turning a corner at
full speed, he collided with the minis
ter.
“Where are you running to, my little
man?” asked the minister, when he
had regained his breath.
“Home!” panted the boy. “Ma’s go
ing to spank me. ”
“What!” gasped the astonished min
ister. “Are you eager to have your
mother spank you that you run home
so fast?”
"No,” shouted the boy over his shoul
der, as he resumed his homeward flight,
“hut if I don’t get there before pa,
he’ll do it!”
Usually when a man falls in love he
getB bumped.

To Keep Southerners in the South
Macon TeleRrsph.
It is of greater importance to keep
native Southerners at home than to at
tract immigration, according to Presi
dent Harrison of the Southern railway.
Speaking before the Chamber of Com
merce at Selma, Ala., recently he said
in part:
“I would like to impress upon the
Southern people my conviction that
keeping our own people at home is even
more important to our progress than
attracting settlors from other localities.
I am sure (hat 1 speak for you when I
say that we will welcome the desirable
immigrant frtim any other part of our
own country or from Europe, that we
will make him one of us, that we will
undertake to teach him our language
and imbue him with our aspirations,
but it is fair to add that we can best
insure the preservation of the ideuls
and traditions of the South and the ad
vancement of our prosperity if, in ad
dition to welcoming the stranger, wo
keep our own people at home. This is
a matter that is having the attention of
the Southern Railway Co. Through out-
land and industrial departments and all
of our agencies working for Southern
development, we are seeking to impress
upon the people along our lines the su
periority of our own section, and, so
far as we are able to do so, we endeav
or to persuade individuals contemplat
ing removing to other parts of the
country to remain in the South.”
A glance at the figures will show that
this is a matter of greater importance
than might be supposed. There are 31,-
954,325 natives of the South in tho Uni
ted States, and only 29,695,474 of these
reside in the sixteen Southern States.
There are 2,256,851 natives of the South
residing outside of the South and only
1,722,514 natives of other sections re
siding in the South. Thus the balance
in interstate immigration against the
South amounts to no less than 526,337.
In this connection President Harrison
says further—
"Great as has been the progress of
the South, we have only fairly begun
to realize our opportunities for agricul
tural arid industrial development. The
rapid progress being made by Southern
farmers in the adoption of improved
farming methods will greatly increase
our steadily growing agricultural out
put. The economic law tending to the
location of manufacturing enterprises
in proximity to supplies of raw mate
rial and to power resources, and the
advantages of home markets based on
a prosperous and increasing agricultu
ral population, will stimulate the devel
opment of diversified manufacturing in
all of the Southern States.”
There haB been organized in Brussels
a league for obtaining a Saturday half-
holiday in Belgium, as now practiced in
England.
“Be a Man Like Father.”
In the Woman’s Home Companion
Mary Heaton Vorse, writing a story
entitled “Ilis Manly Dignity,” com
ments as follows on the practice of
urging small boys “to be a man like
father:”
“Prom earliest infancy they implore
their boy children to 'be a ma„.’ That
glorious goal is pointed out to a boy
baby from the moment he can under
stand anything. Ho is not only told to
‘be a man,’ but to ‘be a man like fath
er.’ I often wonder how the fathers
bear it; I often wonder how they can
stand there, apparently so smug and
contented, when this ideal of conduct is
suggested to their innocent babies.
Don’t they really see themselves, I
wonder? Aren’t there some of them
who have a sudden, beneficent im
pulse to exterminate their own Bona if
the feat of growing to bo a man like
father is all that awaits the innocent
youngsters before them? How can they
hear the adoring gaze that their little
sons faBten upon them?
“Some little boys have a trick of
looking so’ much like real men, with all
the qualities that we love to think of
as belonging to the moHt manly of men,
that I have seen them stamping down
the street, still in skirts; and a man in
the fullness of his powers couldn’t havo
better exemplified the finer masculine
traits.
“No one tells little girls to hurry up
and ‘be a woman like mother.’ ’’
MUST BELIEVE IT
When Well-Known Newnan People
Tell It So Plainly.
When public indorsement is made
by a representative citizen of Newnan
the proof is positive. You must believe
it. Read this testimony. Every suf
ferer of kidney backache, every man,
woman or child with kidney trouble,
will do well to read the following;
Mrs. J. T. Holmes, 20 Fair St., New
nan, Ga., says: “My back ached ter
ribly and 1 was bothered by dizzy spells
and a kidney weakness. I was
treated at a mineral spring and tried
several kidney remedies, but I was not
helped until I procured Doan’s Kidney
Pills from tne Lee Drug Co. They did
such good work that I advise other
kidney sufferers to try them. I have
not had need of a kidney remedy since
and I am glad to confirm my former
indorsement of Doan's Kidney Pills.”
