A HAND ON THE SHOULDER.
When a man ain’t got a cent,
And he’B feeling kind of blue,
And the clouds hang dark and heavy
And won’t let the sunshine through,
It’s a great thing, O, my brethren,
Fer a feller just to lay
His hand upon your shoulder
In a friendly sort o’ way.
It makes a man feel curious.
It makes the tear-drops start,
An’ you sort o’ feel a flutter
In the region of the heart;—
You look up and meet his eyes;
You don’t know what to nay
When his hand 1b on your shoulder
In a friendly sort o’ way.
Oh, the world's a curious compound.
With it’s honey and it’s gall,
With its cares and bitter crosses—
But its a good old world, after all;—
An’ a good God must have made it—
Leastways, that is what I-say
When a hand is on my shoulder
In a friendly sort o’ way.
“My Friend, the Old Traveling
Man.”
BY SAM WILKES.
I had known him lor years, and
when he entered the lob y of the hotel
I noticed his step was slower, and his
eyes had lost much of their live sparkle
of former days; but he came up smiling,
as usual, and slapped me on the shoul
der familiarly, but the kindly “love-
lick" was not so strong as it once was.
His handshake was longer, but there
was less strength in his grip; his greet
ings were as cordial as of yore, but
seemed to have in them an element of
tender appeal.
Business was “bum," he said, and
when a fellow is out on a commission
basis only, it is hard papers. I changed
thesubject and recalled incidents of old
days arid mutual friends, who were good
fellows, now gone from us forever. We
regretted their passing, but laughed
over many of their characteristics and
pleasant occasions enjoyed with them.
He said times now were not like they
used to be, when a fellow had a fixed
salary, with a commission besides, and
an expense account authorized by “the
house"—and when it was not considered
unbusinesslike to ask a customer to
“have something" before beginning
business, or to crack a bottle of wine
with him at the dinner in the evening
he had accepted at your hands, which
went into the expense account; and
when jokes sounded funny, and the
boys handed them around from town to
town until new ones were born and
succeeded them in popular favor, 1
asked him for the latest joke. He
told it with amusing effect, and we
laughed; but the smile of enjoyment
that once lingered on his features until
another joke suggested itself was not
there. Soon a soberness settled upon
his face, and the broad lines of care,
worry and receding success, which had
been penciled upon his countenance,
leaving their immutable impress, were
distinctly discernible. In talking with
him I observed there was a fuzzy worn
place on his necktie, and the handsome
diamond ring I had often admired on
his finger was no longer there. His
hat was new; his suit was not. We sep
arated, with mutual expressions of
good wishes.
I noticed he spoke with some of the
“boys" in the lobby, but did not min
gle with the “bunch" as of yore. A
little later I observed him sitting quiet
ly and alone, as if lost in thought, his
hands together, tapping the back of
the left with the fingers of the right.
'In looking over the hotel register I ob
served his room was an inexpensive one,
and single. Formerly he always had
two —a sitting-room and sleeping-room,
with private bath; but “times were not
like they used to be. "
I left the hotel reflecting and wonder
ing who had gotten the benefit of this
clever fellow's life work—he and his
family, or the firm he had so long repre
sented. I decided there was one thing
certain-had I but one dollar in the
world he could get half of it if he
wanted it. He is a noble representa
tive of that splendid body of our citi
zens who transact so large a part of
our commercial business; and, besides,
he had been “one of the boys," socia
ble, honorable and generous.
I hope his “house" will take care of
him in his old age.
Timely Hint on Over-Eating.
Christmas, New Year's and other
feast days cause many disturbed diges
tions. The stomach and bowels should
not be permitted to remain clogged up,
for indigestion and constipation are
often followed by serious disease, re
sulting from undigested poisonous
waste matter. Foley Cathartic Tablets
should be in every home, ready for us*.
No griping; no unpleasant after-effect.
Relieve distress after eating, regulate
bowels, sweeten stomach and tone up

Laughter Aids Digestion.
Laughter is one of the most healthful
exertions; it is of great help to diges
tion. A still more effectual help is a
dose of Chamberlain’s Tablets. If you
should be troubled with indigestion give
them a trial. They only coBt a quarter.
Obtainable everywhere.
War's Toll of Youth.
War’s toll is taken in the flesh of
youth. It is the future of the land,
not its past, that follows the flag to
death. More tears are shed for Bons
than for fathers, husbands or brothers.
It is not only from among those of
greatest youthful vigor that war does
its recruiting; it sacrifices many who
are still mere children. Midshipmen of
15 are going down with their ships in
every naval engagement of the present
war. Others hardly older are filling
the ranks of the infantry and guides.
Our Civil War was fought by armies
in which the average age of enlisted
men was only 19 and officers but 23. In
any country which raises troops through
voluntary enlistment boys are bound to
be in the majority. For it is youth
which rushes to the colors without a
thought of the horror that lies ahead,
without the outstretched hands of de
pendents to hold it back.
One sickens when he contemplates
what this slaughter of Europe's youth
means to the future of science, art and
business. We shall never know what a
wealth of budding genius withered at
the cannon’s mouth.
BACK GIVES CUT.
Plenty of Newnan Readers Have
This Experience.
You tax the kidneys — overwork
them —
They can't keep up the continual
strain. *
The back may give out—it may ache
and pain;
Urinary troubles may set in.
Don't wait longer — take Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Newnan people tell you how they
act.
Mth. N. P. Scroggin, 25 Second ave
nue. Newnan, says: “F was taken sud
denly with an intense pain in the small
of my back. The least move caused a
sharp pain to shoot through my body,
and I finally got so bad that I had to
stay in bed. I called in a doctor, but
he didn’t give much relief. Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured of J. F. Lee
Drug Co., relieved me from the first,
and four boxes cured me of all symp
toms of kidney complaint."
Price 50c., at all dealers. Don’t
simply aBk for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Scroggin had. Foster - Milburn
