Old friend.of mine. If you shell cross tho tide.

You watch for mo upon the other sldo;
You watch and wait for him, our Peerleaa Q/ltde,
If first you cross the tide.
Old friend of tnlno, If you shall learn tho

The password that la best for me to say-
If first you croea the tWe,
Old friend of mine, from battlements on high,
„ If yonder first you Btand,
Wave back some message you may cheer us by.
And sbur us on to do or die.

Old friend of mine, if you shall soe the king
Before I kiss His hand,
Waft back to me some strain that thoro you sing—
Some note to sttll this longing wondering—
If first you see the King.
Crawford’s Luck.
Youth’B Companion.
Ab the newly arrived guest walked
into the dining-room of the summer
hotel, it was clear to anyone that he
was a successful business man—a man
of large responsibilities and strength of
character. Two men sitting at a table
a short distance from that to which the
stranger had been assigned looked at
each other. <
You know who he is?” Bald one.
“Crawford, of the B. & C. Wool Cor
poration."
"Yes, I know him," replied his
friend. “He is the executive head
of all the dozen concerns affiliated with
the company. He’s a big man, finan
cially.”
"Success just naturally seems to
blow into some men’s hatB," said the
first speaker with a little bitterness.
“Lucky fellow! I don’t believe he
ever had a worry in his life."
'That’s where you're wrong, old
chap! That man failed once and lost
his job twice before he finally found
himself and got his real chance."
“By Jove! You don’t mean it! There
was money back of him, however, I’ll
wager!"
Not a cent. . He built up a business
on borrowed capital, putting his brain
and vigor and youth against the cash
of an old friend. Then be and his de.
voted wife, both still in their twenties,
saved and planned. and scrimped and
lived small. They were paying up a
little here and a little there, meeting
this note and that when it fell due, and
that bill that was imperative, when the
panic of 1907 struck New York.”
“Well?”
“Well, then the man who had posed
as the' kind and indulgent friend and
sponsor of the younger man’s business
venture threw off his mask. He called
in on fifteen days’ notice all the money
he had loaned, and of course, face to
face with an impossible situation,
Crawford failed—threw up his hands!”
“Pretty rough! Didn’t he save any
thing?"
“Not a cent; lost everything. Then
the old scoundrel took over the busi
ness, and he now makes about twenty-
five thousand dollars a year from it.”
“That was a blow! What did Craw
ford do next?”
“Waited for a job, my friend. Have
you ever done that? I did once, for
three months, and every day I found
myself degenerating. It was a rude
shock to me, really, for I had always
thought that I should keep up appear
ances — clean linen, smooth shave,
creased trousers, andi so forth—at any
cost. Wei], one day I caught a real
look at myself in the glass, and that
brought me to my senses. I saw that
I was carrying the badge of failure on
my cheek and around my neck and
wrists; my inner feeling had taken that
outward form.”
“It is easier to go down the tobog
gan slide than to come up, eh?”
“Rather! Well, I saw Crawford of
ten, and I had friends who knew him
Intimately at that time. He was out
of work for six months—had absolutely
nothing to do—and God knowa what
frenzied momentB come to a man at
such a time, but he never for one day
went unshaved or without clean linen—
and, best of all, his manner was always
cheerful. His wife was a wonder all
the time. She helped him in every
possible way, made one cent serve for
five, and bore always the same gallant
and indomitable front."
“How old a man is he?”
“Just turned forty-one. Oh, yes! I
know you’d take him for a man fifty
years old. That’s the price he paid.
His courage and self-control took their
toll, as they always do. But he’s a
man of men, and if you knew, aa I do,
how sympathetic and large-minded and
kinded he is, you’d realize that very
bard experience developed in him traits
that no amount of instant or easy suc
cess could have given him.”
“Well, the other fellows who declare
that there’s no such thing as luck
could use him as a good example,
couldn’t they?”
“They certainly could. It was just
courage that made his success—courage
and character—and there’s no. luck
about them.”
Aluminum production in the United
States totaled 80,000.00b pounds last

Paper Situation in U. S. Serious.
Some grades of paper havd taken an
other jump in prfoea and are likely, to
continue to riie,
is not sending any rags now
as griBt for American paper mills, and,
m this ountry never depended entirely
on its own pulp supply, the book and
the magazine makers are likely to have
to pay still more for their stock
, As an example of how the market
has been going, the bids for picking
the rags and the waste paper from the
dumpB in the boroughjof Queens, New
York, were opened recently, and the
highest was $19,522 for the current
year, which was more than twice the
figure for last year, $8,216. Other
items will bring this bid up to at least
$20,000. The successful bidders were
elated over their succobb, for they con
sidered the privilege likely to become
profitable.
Since France and other European
countries, owing to the war, have
ceased sending rags to the United
States, American manufacturers of
high-grade paper have bad to put up
their prices, as they formerly depended
on foreign markets' not only for pulp of
various grades, but also for chemicals.
Paper for coating also went up half a
cent a pound, and there have been
steady riBSB of various grades.
The paper situation,” said a big
New York paper, manufacturer the
other day, “is daily becoming nkore
serious. We are endeavoring to have
the embargo against the shipment of
rags from abroad lifted. This embar
go,: declared on Feb. 18 by the French,
was issued without warning. We hope,
however, at least to get those ship-
ments which were bought before the
embargo was declared.
“Owing to the war,” ,he continued,
“the whole paper industry is demoral'
ized. I see no help for the situation
until the war is over and the conditions
again become'normal. Rags are scarce
and cannot be brought to this country
from Europe. The supply of Scandi-
navian pulp iB very low. To whiten
paper chloride of lime is needed. In
stead of selling this for bleaching pow
der, the makers can dispose of it to
foreign powers for making chlorine
gas for military purposes. The wire
meshkaed by the makers has gone up
in price. They must pay much more
for the felt belts over which the moist
paper passes.
“The coating or sizing of paper
composed largely of casein. It is really
cheese. Formerly it was cheap and
abundant. A good deal of it used
to
come from Denmark. Some waB made
here. In days like these all the milk
is needed for making cheese in this
country, for the importation of those
select cheese, from abroad haB largely
fallen off. Glue has its place in Bur-
facing paper, and there are other con.
stituents as well. All white paper is
made to appear more so by using blue
dyes, all of which are very high. Col
ors which were formerly only 40 or 50
cents a pound are sold for $18 and $20
a pound.”
Manufacturers also say there has
been a great decrease in the importa
tions of Bulphites. Formerly there were
1,000 to 1,200 tons imported daily, as
compared with 375 tons a day which
are now received.
, The Army of Sorrow.
Albany Herald.
It was announced in the House of
Commons a few days ago that "the
widows of British soldiers thus far re
ported number 41,500,” not to mention’
8,000 widows of sailors who have been
killed or drowned in the war’? disasters
»t m<
An hfmy that lacks blit 8 feW hun
dred of being 50,000 “thus far report
ed!” Every day brings new recruits to
its ranks. Fighting began a little less
than twenty months ago, bo tho war
has been making British widows at the
rate of about one every seventeen min
utes since the first gun was fired. More
British soldiers are in the field now
than at any time since the beginning of
the great confllot, and the fighting in
that region where most of the British
troops afd engaged becomes more fu
rious. It is probably safe to say that
the war iB now making a British widow
for every dozen minutes that pass.
Fifty thousand widows! What an
army I
Marching four abreast, and With but
three feet between fours, it would be
nearly ten mllcB long. Marching two
and a half miles an hour, it would re
quire four hours for it to paBB a given
point.
And this, let it be remembered, is
but one of Sorrow’s Armies. There is
another in France, much greater than
Britain’s. There’s yet another in Rus
sia, a vast legion in Germany, and still
another in Austria-Hungary. Serbia’s
widows form about the only army that
bleed-drenched little kingdom can rally
now, and thoBe who sit, stunned and
hollow-cheeked, among the ruins of
Belgium are that desolated country’s
only defenders. In the villages of Mon
tenegro, in Italy, Roumania and Turkey
—wherever the seething, singeing, de.
vastating flame of war has rolled—sit
those whom Death haa conscripted into
the vast Army of Widows whose tears
bathe a continent, and who have given
for country more than those who fell
on the Helds of battle.
And there’s another army—the Or
phans!
Hundreds of thousands of them!
Blue-eyed and golden-haired orphans,
dark-skinned orphans with eyeB of
black and brown; orphans who, ages
ago, it must seem to them, waved fare
wells to fathers they were never to see
again, and yet other orphans who came
into the world after their fathers had
been laid in soldiers’ graves, some
where along the battle front.
And still these two vast armies grow.
The big guns may tear great gaps in
the armies that fight, and it may be
come more and more difficult to keep
the battle lines Intact, but the widows
and orphans will not grow less. Hun
dreds are made each day, as the artil
lery roars, the rifles bark and the dead
ly work of mines and submarines goes
on.'
And the world has been boasting of
its civilization for lol these many
years.
Two Marylanders, who were visiting
the National Museum at Washington;
were standing in front of an Egyptian
mummy, over which hung a placard
bearing the inscription, “B. C. 1197.
Both visitors were much mystified
thereby, and said one;
“What do you think of that, Billy?’
“Well,” said Bill. “I dunno, but
maybe it waB the number of the motor
car that killed him.”—Chicago Journal,

A bad back makes you miserable all
the time—
Lame every morning; sore all day.
It hurts to stoop—it hurts to straigh

What with headache, dizzy spells,
urinary weakness.
No wonder people are discouraged.
Who do not know the kidneys may
be the cause of it all.
Give the weakened kidneys needful
help.
Use a tested and proven kidney rem
edy.
None endorsed like Doan.s Kidney
Pills.
Mrs. M. TompkinB, 43 W. Washing,
tori street, Newnan, Ga., says: “The
worst trouble I had was a dull ache in
the small of my back. I tired easily,
especially in the morning. I had fre
quent headaches, little objects floated
before my eyes and at times I became
dizzy. Colds settled on my kidneys,
making my back worse. I used Doan’’
Kidney , Pills, procured at Murray
Drug & Book Co., and they soon re
lieved the pains in my back and the
other symptoms of kidney trouble dis
appeared.

How’b This for a “Platform ?”
A candidate in the coiihty of Banks
haB, according to the Homer Journal,
made the following unique announce
ment:
“To. the white voters of Bapki coun
ty, (end if not elected in the Pemooratlo
primary, then to the white and nigger
voters in the general election;) I, Frank
Martin, of Banks county, Ga., U. S.
A., being of sound mind aha body, do
this day, without solicitation from any
man or woman, declare myBelf a candi
date for either Senator, Representa
tive or a county office, subject to the .
action of the aforesaid elections. I do
not need the money which an office
pays; I am not in the race for the bene
fit of mankind;-neither do I desire the
honor which the office carries; but I do
wiBh to try out a few reforms, hoping
that no one will be better or worse
when my term expires.
If elected to either the Upper or
Lower House I guarantee to put through
more bills than three Governors can
sign.
“If felefited Ordiflaf-y 1 will abolish
thrf’coflvldt ayatHrti in the dodnty and
work the roads myself,
If elected Clerk of Court I will have
everything put in one book and OUt the
fees in half.
If elected Sheriff I will kill alt
criminals and save the county the ex
pense of court trials.
“If elected Tax Collector I will give
you a rebate of 25c. on every dollar paid
me.
“If elected Tax Receiver I will point
out where you have been giving in your

“If elected Coroner I promise to hold
more inquests the first year than have

'If not elected I promise to Btay at

Don’ts For Spring Buyers.
Don’t buy a suit with a plaited Bkirt
unless you have an electric iron and
lots of time, or elBe a French maid.
Don't buy one that is a bit too small,
for the present style coat with its flar
ing hem looks especially bad in a size
too small.
Don’t, if you are over five feet six,
get up-and-down stripes.
Don’t buy a tan suit if you are sal
low. Some of the tan shades are again
in fashion, and they are a pitfall for
the unwary sallow woman.
Don’t buy a suit trimmed with alight
color if you mbst wear it constantly
for nothing looks worse than soiled
trimming.
Don’t, if the family bible has you
down for over 40—you needn’t admit it
—get a suit because the saleswoman
tells you it’s girlish. Don’t be a "flap
per” at 40.
Don’t, if you’re under five feet three,
get round-about trimming.
Don’t get a jacket that has Bieeves
too short or too long, for misfit sleeves
spoil what may otherwise be a very at
tractive jacket.

two months, although I am a man of

An Irishman, applying for a pension
at Washington, insisted upon the jus
tice of his claim, owing to the fact that
he had been wounded while in the ser
vice of his country.
“How and where were you wounded?”
one of the committee inquired. Placing
his hand over his heart he said:
‘I was shot in the breast on a retreat
from Bull Run, yer honor.”
‘Shot through the breast on a re
treat?” said the committee man. “How
could you be shot through the breast on
a retreat?”
’I had the indiscretion to turn and
look back, yer honor.”
“But if you were shot in the breast
in the place you indicate, the ball would
have gone through your heart. How is
that?”
‘Me heart was in me mouth at the
time, yer honor."
