THI
STERNAL DR AMA.
As you sit by the fire with your heart’s red desire,
Can you read what the flame finders write?
Doesn’t each lurid coal show the ultimate goal
Of the game you are playing to-night?
You would know, were you wise, that as each one
dies
So must you, and the love that you bear;
But the aBhes of gray will sleep on for aye.
In the chill-enwrapped heart of despair.
So be happy and gay; it may be but a day
Till the fires of your being congeal,
For the streaked aureole round her gossamer soul
You have bartered a precious ideal,
And the vows that seem true, if you only but
knew.
Have proved false in the agej long past—
It’s the same tragic play in the same comic-way.
But it’s staged with a different cast.
The Longing for Riches.
South Georgia Progress.
Why should you care to be pestered
with a large bank account or distressed
with a houseful of servants? Adam and
Evo had neither of tjiese, and so they
called their place Paradise. Few people
have learned the true secret of living
well. Too many think it depends al
most wholly on the condition of the
pocketbook.
How mistaken! Happiness is not born
of material or outward conditions. It is
largely the result of a purely mental
process.
Amid the duller threads of duty it is
well to weave one brighter strand of
desires. Mix a little sunshine with your
daily food. You can soften the sound
of cab or car on stony street by caillng
to memory a bird’s song heard in the
fields on a summer afternoon in child
hood. It is sweeter to your soul —if you
have one—than is the rumble of a rail
road that you own yourself.
Take a day off and go out to some
cemetery, where you may reflect on the
brevity of life and the insufficiency of
things pertaining to the pocketbook.
It is netter that you go before it comes
your turn to ride out there in the big
plumed hack that never hpulp its load
back again. Don’t wait till >ou own
your own private automobile. Go while
you are able to walk and to think.
From the dead you may learn much
of life. Scan all the virtues inscribed
upon all the headstones by loving bands,,
and among them all you will not find
recorded the possession'of a million dok
lars, or a docked-tailed horse. The
headstones tell you only of things
worthwhile.*
Keep Your Bowels Begalar.
As everyone knows, the bowels are
the sewerage system of the body, and
it is of the greateet importance that
they move once each day. If your
bowels become constipated, take a dose
of Chamberlain’s Tablets just after
supper and they will correct the dis
order. Obtainable everywhere.
His Figures Too Low in Some
Cases.
The editor of an Eastern paper haa
grown peevish. He has been pestered
so much by peewee people desiring
free “puffs” that he facetiously refers
to himself aS the “Peerless Prince of
Puff Purveyors.” He thinks he haB
done enough for social queens, minis
ters who are looking for free advertis
ing, people who have legislative fadB
they wish to push, and organizations
which want free publicity. So he has
evolved the following scale of prices
for puffs:
For telling the public that a man is a
successful citizen, when everybody
knows that be is as lazy as a hired
man, $2.70.
Referring to a deceased citizen as
one who is mourned by the entire com
munity, when he will only be missed by
the poker circle, $10,13,
Referring to a fellow as a man of
courage, and one who will stand by his
honest convictions, when everyone
knows that he is a moral coward and
would sell out for 30 cents, $6.21.
Referring to some gallivantin’ fe
male as an estimable lady whom it is a
pleasure to meet and know, when ev
ery man in town runs when he Bees her
coming, $8.10.
Calling an ordinary pulpit orator an
eminent divine, 60 cents.
Sending a doughty sinner to heaven,
$6.
Referring to a deceased merchant
who never advertised in his home pa
per as a progressive citizen, $4,99.
Lambasting the daylights out of De
mon Rum at the request of the local
prohibition committee, $6.77.
Ditto for the prohibitionists at the
request of the local "wet” committee,
$6.77.
A young man in the country had a
tender passion and took his girl some
flowers.
“How kind of you,” said the girl,
"to bring me these lovely flowers.
They are so: beautiful ana fresh. I
think there ie’sbme dew on them yet.”
<■ “Yes,”,said the young sjftfii In great
embarrassment, “there fe'but I’m go
ing to pay it off to-fnOrrow. ”
Out thi&'Out—It is Worth Money.

That Editorial Dream.
Griffin Nowb and Sun.
It was in the small and silent hours
of the night, when all our people were
peacefully reposing in the slumber of
innocence.
The God of Dreams hovered over the
editorial couch and spoke in soft and
glowing toneB of a vacation in the sweet
summer time, with a brain relaxed
from the tiresome labors of mental
toil, and the green slopes of a gently
flowing stream abounding with the fin
ny tribe.
And the god whispered into the edito
rial ear, and this is what it said:
“There are many good people who
owe sundry sums on subscription. These
people are honest and they mean to
pay, but their mindB are engrossed in
weightier affairs, to the exclusion of
the editor and hie needs. But I, the
God of Dreams, will lay the hand of
wisdom and remembrance upon these
good people, to the end that they will
give of their abundant Btore the little
that is justly due you. And when each
good citizen has handed in the mite
that is due, I, the God of Dreams, do
decree that when the sunny days are
come again the editor ahall leave his
toil for a week of rest and in some far
away spot, where mind and heart may
regain strength and courage for better
and greater things in the days to come.
And the God of DreamB will bestow his
benign approval upon all delinquent
subscribers who hearken unto this sage
and earnest advice.”
If ever a dream comes true, the edi
tor prays that this may be the one. And
he has faith that it will be even so.
The Court of Last Resort.
Around the stove of the cross roadB
grocery is the real court of last resort,
for it finally over-rules all others.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been
brought before this court in almoBt
every cross roads grocery in this coun
try, and has always a favorableverdict.
It is in the country where man expects
to receive full value for his moaey that
this remedy is most appreciated. Ob
tainable everywhere.
The stool pigeon is the cheapest of
all conscienceless crookj|.
The traveler wants full fare at the
hotels, but he doesn’t object to half
fare on the railroads.
England, Germany and
France Agree
chi one thing, if on no other. They all prohibit
the sale of alum baking powders.
There must be a good reason for this.
It is because alum was found to be un
healthful.
-Royal Baking Powder is made of cream
of tartar, derived from grapes, a natural
food product, and contains no alum, nor
other questionable ingredients.
