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 the liter. «L F.

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 Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.
