The Value of Love.
What is the rash value of love?
So far the only attempt* that's ever
been made to give love a market ration
have been in breach of promise suilH
where forsaken damsels have placed
the damage to their uffections at sums
that ranged all the way from $100 to
$100,000. That these estimates of the
intrinsic worth of affection have been
considered excessive, and have been
liberally Rcalyd down by the juries,
in not to lie considered as con
stitution a standard of value. Most of
U£ are inclined to bo cynical regarding
the break in a heart that can be plas
tered up, and made as good as whole
by the application of a few greenbacks.
Yet, for all that, love is not listed
among the negotiable securities on the
stock exchange, there is no Cupid Con
solidated, or Mutual Affection, pre
ferred, or Cuaranteed I’nion Devotion
at whose quotation we may glance in
the morning over our coffee, love Htill
has an actual cash value, and ia quite
as valuable an asset bh anything in our
Htrnng boxes.
Nor does this refer wholly to senti
mental consideration. It ia a cold, hard,
business proposition that the ability to
win love ia juHt as much a factor in any
nne'a success in the world as is the
ability to earn money.
Who are the people that we help,
that we lend money to, and whose credit
we boost into success? The worthy?
The needy? The industrious and thrif
ty? Not at all. It iB the people we
like.
Who'are the ones we Hhoulder into buc-
eeHH? The especially gifted? The un
usually lit? Not a bit of it. It is the
people we like. Cenius nllied to an un-
plcasing personality still starves in gar
rets, while agreeable mediocrity has
golden opportunities thrown in its way.
The most forcible illustration, how
ever, that the world affords of the cash
value of love is to he found iri the do
mestic,relationship. Nobody ever ap
praises a man’s love for his wife as n
tangible asset, yet in reality the worth
of a genuine case of affection for his
wife runs the capital on which any man
iH doing.business up $T>0,Oufi a year. If
ho is violently in love with tier this fig
ure may be safely doubled, while if he
thinka she is tile only woman in the
world, and that nothing is good enough
for her, he has practically unlimited
(inanciiiljn sources. This is not an ex
aggerated statement.
Dove has also turned rriuny a man
into a millionaire. It is a power so
great that it is genius in itself.
Just because he wants to clothe some
woman he loves in silks and jewels
makes many a naturally indolent man
into a hustler. Thcjknowledge that a
woman believcsJl'n him, and < xpects
him to succeed, nerves a man up to do
the very lust that is in him, just ns the
ltnuwledgu that his wife is indifferent
to him, and will nag him, and twit him
with hia failures, saps his energies and
paralyzes his courage.
A quiet, peaceful happy home, is
such an element in a man’s success, n
tender,'affectionate, loving wife is such
an inspiration to him that it is a won
der lliut even sellish women, who care
for only what they run get out of their
husbands, have not sense enough to see
that in failing to give a man any ap
preciation they are literally starving to
death the goose that lays the golden
egg.
A cheerful, loving life is a mascot.
A fretful, unloving wife is a hoodoo,
and thus it happens that love wins out,
and draws down the prize in money as
well as in domestic pouce and huppi-
ness.
So far as women are concerned men
will tind that it is also money in their
pockets to love their wives, and keep
their wives in love with them. It is a
cynical marital joke that the man who
quarrels with his wife has to square him
self by means of tine raiment and im
ported millinery. More than this, there
is no doubt that v hen women are un-
happyfthcy relievo their feelings by ex
travagance, as miserable men do theirs
by drink.
As long as a woman believes in a
husband’s affection she can he happy
in a log cabin, or a two by four tlat,
and it is because love flies so often out
of the window that so much money has
to come in by the door. As long ns a
nun tells his wife that she is the most
beautiful woman in the world in his
eyes she will wear last year’s clothes
without a word of repining.
As long as a man takes any interest
in holding his wife's hand she will glad
ly work it to the bone for him. and,
this being the case, it is a wonder that
the sex that prides itself on its financial
sagacity has never thought it worth
while to bestow more kisses and com
pliments and less coin on his wife, it
would make for economy.
I’orhaps, when we come to regard
love as a tangible asset, instead of u
dream, we shall lie less cureless about
losing or mislaying it. There would he
fewer divorces if the average husband
and wife were us cureful of each oth
er’s affections as they ure of a five dol-
Ur bill.

Making Ammunitian for Naval
Guns.
Popular Mi ehanifu Msirexino,
CIobg by the west bank of the Hud
son, and lying I etween Stony 1’oint and
West river in the lower pvssage to the
Highlands, in a region made famous by
the Revolutionary War, is lonu Island,
the ammunition base of the United
Slati-h navy. Describing this spot anrl
the work that is carried on there, a wri
ter to this magazine says:
“At this little known place, a reser
vation of slightly more than a hundred
acres, several hundred men are em
ployed in the preparation of ammuni
tion for the gunsof our warships. Rack
of the hills which seclude most of the
island from general view are maguzines
and stori-ho .sea holding approximately
3,000.000 pounds of smokeless powder,
1,000,000 pounds of black powder, and
tens of thousands of ahells.
“Skirting the island, joining its labo
ratories and storage places, and con
necting with the landing pier is a small
railroad, the locomotive of which is op
erated by compressed uir. This is used
in the transportation of the deadly car
goes from one building to another and
in carrying ammunition to the dock
where it is received for the warships.
The precaution of having a locomotive
which will not throw off sparks, radi
ate heat nor require connection with
high-voltage electric wires is necessary
to averl the danger of an explosion.
“Four separate fire-proof walls sur
round each of the magazines, which ate
divided into compartments in order to
safeguard against the complete de
struction of the works in the event of
a fire or small explosion. Careful in
spection of all of the cartridge stores
and powder buildings are made at fre
quent intervals during both day arid
night. After sundown every visit at
one of these places is recorded at the
administration building by electric in
struments. Close attention is paid to
the temperatures wherever explosives
are kept, thn heat being regulated to
remain between SB and 90 degrees at all
timcB. The interior walls and floors of
the magazines are so made that not a
single pieee of iron or steel is exposed.
Upon entering one of the structures in
spectors and workmen wear a special
kind of clothing and soft Hhoes without
nails, carrying absolutely nothing com
posed of iron nor anything whicli might
produce a spark.
“Similar precautions are taken in the
filling rooms, where the charges are
placed in the shells. Here every one is
dressed in white serge, and the tools,
such us measuring cups, scales and fun
nels, are made of copper, which does
not give oil sparks, even when struek
by stolle. The supply of powder to be
used during the day is brought to the
tilling rooms each morning, where it is
emptied into a long wooden trough.
Over half of the smokeless powder used
here is manufactured at the navy prov
ing ground at Indian Head, Md , while
the rest is supplied by private firms at
the rate of 70 cents a pounds."
Going Too Far and Too Fast.
There was once a doubting Thomas
in a certain section of the mountains of
North Georgia who did not believe the
reports of a railroad about to be built
through his community. When they
begun grading Ins neighbors tried to
make him acknowledge the raad was a
surety.
"They’ll never git the cross tics and
rails down, “ he dolefully said. In due
course of lime the rails wore laid. Still
he w.ts not convinced.
“They'll never git a truin to run
’em,’’ he insisted.
Finally, an engine rolled into the
community, and a neighbor persuaded
the < Id man to go down arid see the
sight. They arrived at the station and
pointed oui the engine.
“Well, Uncle John, don’t you be
lieve now?”
"Naw, sir; they’ll never git it
started."
Own Your Own Home.
No man who has the opportunity
should fail to acquire title to the pro
perty in which he is to reside. Until
one owns his own home, his life is not
complete as It should be.
Even if a man must go in debt to
secure his home, it is the thing for him
to do. I’aying for a home is a good
game as one can engage in, and the
difficulties attending it but lend Z"8t to
the struggle. Those who enter the
lists almost invariably come out better
for the effort.
Really, the chances taken are not
formidable. In almost any city, pur
chase of real e.stato at a fair valuation
is a good business investment. Land
values are going up the while and they
will continue to go up for years. In
cities like ours with desirable influence
and every advantage as a residence
city, there is not even the prospect of a
reversal.
If there did not exist the commercial
argument in favor of owning one’s
home, there would be plenty of other
reasons for recommending it. Some
one has remarked that it is like reach
ing the state of parenthood. When one
acquires a home he has something
worth living for—fighting for. It
makes him a better citizen and a bet
ter member of society. It gives him
a substantial interest in the great or
ganization known as government.
And while it increases a man's sense
of obligation to society and his country,
it gives him a new sort of freedom. In
hiB own a man feels at liberty to do
things he does not feel like doing in the
homes of others. He expands and de
velops his energy.
i’erhaps he establishes a talent for
mechanics. Perhaps he makes a
garden and satisfies an inherent long
ing to dig and plant. He may never
become an inventor or a successful
grower of plant life, hut he can have
the fun and satisfaction of trying with
out feeling that he is imposing on some
one else. If he wants to have a work
bench in the cellar or tear up the lawn
for his experiments in gardening, it is
his own business.
It costs money to keep up a home,
hut what of that? It costs money to en
joy any of the pleasures of this life,
and there is nothing that gives so big
a return for the expenditure as does an
abode wherein one can exercise his own
will. No other possession he may ac
quire ever means quite so much to a
man as does this first home.

Negroes in Canning Club Works.
Tifton Gaxette.
An unusual feature of the fleorgia-
Florida Fair at Valdosta and one that
is attracting much attention, is the
exhibit by the negro canning club. The
enrollment in this club for this year is
•100 and the members have put up over
40,000 cans. This is their first year in
the work and the members were trained
by a negro woman working under the
industrial training department of the
General Education Board. This is part
of the work which Prof. George D.
Godard, of Milner, has in charge and is
some of its first visible fruits. The
work of the negro girls is said to be
very fine and to show up creditably in
comparison with that of the other can
ning clubs. At first glance the white
people may not be especially interested
in this work, but if the white farmer
and the land-owner who has negro
tenants will think what it would mean
to him if the negro's family would can
enough products that are going to
waste on the farm to last it through
winter, and if the housewife will con
sider what it would meun to her if her
Story of a Familiar Hymn.
A young mother was accustomed to
sing her restless little boy to sleep with
I)r. Watts' hymn, “Hush, my babe.”
When he was only twelve years old she
died, and the poor little fellow was
heartbroken. His father, a stern, un
demonstrative man. left the boy almost
entirely to his own devices. Having
no sisters or relatives in the home to
restrain him, he drifted onto the streit
and into bad company. He grew wild
and reckless, going from had to worse
rapidly, and finally left home entirely.
The vague rumors that came back from
lime to time were sad enough.
On" evening a young man was Bittimf
alone in a little room in a cheap board
ing house. His face showed plainly the
marks of dissipation. Men spoke of
him as they passed him on the street
as a “hard ticket.”
He wqb intending now to go out at
midnight to meet two of lus cronies and
commit a bold robbery. Everything
was ready. He had only to wait here
a little longer before putting them into
execution.
But as he sat there alone in the dark
he was startled to hear a mother in the
adjoining room singing the old familiar
hymn: “Hush, my babe,” to her baby.
Evidently the child was very restless,
for she sang it over and over.
The listener sprang up with an oath,
and taking his hat, was about to rush
out into the street, but remembering
that he must not be seen, he sat down
again thrusting hia fingers into his ears.
He could not shut out the sound, how
ever, and he seemed to see his fair
young mother bending tenderly over
him. He could almost feel her caresses
and hear her loving words.
It seemed to him he could not hear it.
What would she say if she could see
him now, if she knew what he had in
his heart to-night?
Before the sun rose his hands might
be stained with blood!
Thank God! she did not know! She
had bade him meet her in heaven; she
had said she would be waiting for him.
If he should die to-night heaven’s gates
would be closed to him.
Hour after hour he fought his battle.
It was a desperate one, but just be
fore the time came for him to meet his
associates, he crept stealthily to the
station and boarded the first train that
came. His mother’s hymn had saved
him.

A good Methodist asked John Wet-
ley to advise him in regard to a certain
woman well-known to both.
The great preacher told the man that
he never would be happy if he married
her.
"But she is a member of i’our church,
isn’t she?”
“Yes,” was the reply.
“And you think she is a Christian
woman?"
“I do.’’ I
“Well, then, why should I not marry
her?"
“Because," replied Mr. Wesley,
"the Lord can live with a great many
people that you and I can’t.”
There is no manhood mill which takes

Quick Relief When
Utterly Worn Out
A little later the engineer had oc
casion to move down the road with his
engine, and a* he did so with open
throttle and steam escaping from a
dozen different places at once, the
neighbor grabbed the old man's arm
and shouted, “How about it now,
Uncle John?"
"Well, by gum, they got started, but
they'll never stop 'cr."

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardtti, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, I
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.

and it always does me good.”
