' DON’T TAKE A CHANCE
Newnan People Should Act In Time.
If you suffer from backache;
If you have headaohes, dizzy spells;
If the kidney, secretions are irreg
ular,
Don't delay—likely your kidneys
are sick.
Newman people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills. Ask your neighbor.
Here’s a Newnan woman's experi
ence:
Mrs. M. E. Jackson, 65 Murray St„
says: “I had a bad spell with my
kidneys about two years ago. - My
back ached and pained from morning
until night and was so weak I'could
hardly go. Often dizzy BpellB would
come over me and specks would
Boat before my eyes, blurring my
sight My kidneys acted Irregularly,
too. ,The first few of Doan’s Kidney
Pills brought me relief and before )
had finished one box I was cured and
the cure has lasted. I am glad to
recommend Doan’s."
Pride 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply aBk for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that

New Year’s eve, In muny towns of
our ctnlnt.ry, Is an oceusion whereon
the young folk put on ttiusks of,van
ous outrugeuus sorts mnl go about
from lmuxelo house, raising (Jain, till
the rour of whistles and the flung of
bells ushers In the new-born year.
When the old year has thus been ofH-
elully laid to rest they gather at some
preordulned spot and purtuke of re
freshment. Masks are laid uslde nnd
Identities established, ■ and presently
every one says: "llappy New Year!"
and goes home.
The boys and girls <*t Rutledge had
preserved tills custom slnce-thelr ear
liest days; so wllen the 31st of De
cember was drawing to a close the par
ents of At illy Duvenporl were not
astonished when their daughter \onme
Into the living room attired In a rakish
domino and masked pinkty, her blonde
hair carefully concealed under a hood.
They merely said: "Have u good time,
dear," and returned to their dohletn-
plutlon of the 'monthly magazines,
Anri Mllly slipped outdoors Into the
rlsp starlit night and down the street
to where she saw a group of tier
friends already assembled.
As she neared the group she slipped
Into llie shadow and came up from
nnothet- direction to‘.deceive them iiB
to her Identity; her ruse succeeded,
for In the chorus of welcome there wai
no note of recognition. She Joined tht
cro'wd and they proceeded llght-hear^
edly down the street.
At a neai'by. corner they were
Joined by an apparition in a black,
monk's robe, cowled and masked, with
an enormous red hose protruding at
no Idea who It was. But the nose in
cident amused her.
“It must be very convenient to have
a nose that you can get I'ld of when
ever you want to, Isn’t it?" she In
quired in her best elocution clussf
voice.
The cowl turned sharply toward her,
and she had the uncomfortable impres
sion that two Invisible eyes were re
garding her sharply. Then the voice
spoke:
"Mllly I”
She Jumped.
“How—how did you guess?" she
said.
“I knew all the time. I saw you
;come out of your house. Mllly, I took
you away from the crowd because 1
wanted to tell you something."
“Tell away," Mllly was curious.
“I—I wanted to tell you that—that
this Is the last day of the old year—”
•T know tt already,” Mllly laughed.
The monk continued:
“Well, the year’s nearly dead, and—”
a pause. Whatever the mysterious
communication might be, the monk was
making a horrible bungle of getting it
out’. Mllly waited, silent; but for some
unaccountable reason-her heart beat
faster' than u&uul. The monk cdhtln-
ued:
“I—1 wanted to wish you a happy
New. Year and to ask you tp make
the New Yeur a happy one for me—
Oh. Mllly,.I love you!"—thlB with a
rush.
Mllly stood stunned. The declara
tion was so unexpected. Then a swift
rush of happiness surged through her,
.mingled with doubt. If It should be—
(o certain Jroong man—then everything
[was all right; but if not—
"I— I th-think you might take off
your mask," she whispered.
"Great Scott! Here I’ve been pro
posing, add you didn’t know who I
was! Well, I suppose I've ruined my
[changes—Just like me!" The mask
[was slung back, the cowl dropped.
Even ln the shadows Mllly could rec-
lognlze Fred. Grant's face. She
been Utmost sure of the ,voice, and now
ity had come to. her. Fred
d out and took her hand,
ly—oh, Mllly, don't say you
certa
read
•Mi
don’t care I Make thlB the happiest
'New Year of my life I”
For' gn Instant Mllly hesitated; then
she whispered: “I—do care, Fred."
In a moment she was In his arms,
his lips were on hers, and she heard
jail the things that he had wanted to
say, but had not had the opportunity.
.They stood thus for a moment; then
Mllly said: "Let’s Join the others.”
"Walt!” said Fred. "Listen!"
In silence they stood. From the
j belfry In the next street chimed the
i first stroke of 12, and with It the whls-
itles and other bells began their Joy
ous clamor. Fred turned to Mllly and
his eyes were shining.
“It’s the New Year, dearest," he
whispered. “The New Year—and the
| beginning for you and me."
i And hhnd in hand they went to seek
their comrades.
PURSUED BY GHOSTLY SHIP
Tradition of Modern Flying Dutchman
That Massachusetts Fishermen
Firmly Believe In.
The burial of John Winters, recalled
to old-time fishermen a tradition of a
modern Flying Dutchman ,wjth Us
ghostly crew that was believed to
roam the sens la pursuit of a Bhlp tlmt
had sent them to the bottom, relates
a correspondent from Gloucester. Win
ters was the last survivor of the
crew of the Gloucester schooner,
Charles Haskell, which In a storm In
March, 1869, ran down nnd sank a
Salem schooner and Its entire crew on
Gqorges fishing banks. He died at
the Fishermen’s Snug Harbor In his
eighty-second year, repeating almost
to the Inst the tale of the ghost, ship
supposed to have pursued the Has
kell throughout its career as a fish
erman.
Once off Eastern point, at the en-
trance of Gloucester harbor, Winters
said, a schooner ran down the wind,
hove alongside the Haskell, and Its
phantom crew climbed the rigging, de
claring themselves the ghosts of the
Snlera fishermen.
Winters and Others of the Haskell’s
crew refused to fish in the ship again
and a new crew was .taken on. These
returneitAvlth a similar story of ghost
ly visitations at sen,’ took,their dun
nage bags and quit. Another' tint! still
a fourth crew were shipped, but each
camOVtjo port with a renewal of the
story of a ship shrouded In white.and
a specter Crew, and the Haskell was
hauled up, unable to get men. It fin
ished Its sengolhg as a snrid freighter,
and the Salem ship was not heard of
again.
New Type of OP-tsumer.
A recently developed heavy-oil-
burning engine of only medium high
compression, that Is, a semt-Dlesel
type, Is adapted to usob In oil fields
and localities where tho water con
tains largo quantities of gritty sub
stances, making It unsafe to Inject
Into the eyllfulers, snyB Popular Me
chanics Magazine. The Diesel design
ie adhered to In the new type with tho
exception that the excessively high
compression pressures of 400 to BOO
pounds to the square Inch are not
used. To start the engine, the mer
cury 1b brought to a high heat with n
blowtorch. After starting, the heat
of the compression nnd combustion
maintains the temperature. Mercury
Is used, for the reason that It Is a
fairly good heat Insulator and keeps
the bottom of the chamber hot, and
that, though it bolls, there Is no' loss,
ns the vapor condenses on the Inside
wall of the water-jacketed top of the
igniter and returns tb the bottom.

it told’nothing ns tn Ids identity, nnd
generally Imd the effect of sending the
Inquirer into shrieks of laughter, the
stalely Lsitln sounding so incongruous

egged loii hy her comrades, asked the
monk’s name, but Instead of tlie usual
phrase tn the language of Julius Cae
sar, she was answered by the monk's
grabbing her by the arm and whirling
her down tlie street in the.mazes,of a
dance-step. She wns surprised, but
uot particularly alarmed, for she knew
him to he one of her own crowd. The
monk’s gyrations carried him for a mo
ment out of : reach of the others, and
before Mllly could protest he had whis
pered hoarsely: "Let's heat it I” and
dragged her along with him down a
side street. This was unmdnastic,
thought Mllly, but human; and he was
like some one she knew—who was it?
In the shade of a giant maple—Rut.

The monk seemed undecided what to
do with his captive, and Mllly was
curious, but . undemonstrative. She
feared the whole bizarre performance
might he a trick to make her disclose
who she was. and determined to be on

“CARAT” OF AFRICAN ORIGIN
Natives Devised the Method Every
where in Use for the Weighing
of Precious. Stones.
J The natives of Asln and Africa,
'Where the largest diamond mines are
! located, are naturally unfamiliar with
j the-finely-graduated, and precisely ,ex-
inct apparatus? used for weighing pre
vious [stories. But, .(is they realized
.'that diamonds. Increased In value ac
cording to thetr s)zo. they solved the
difficulty In a manlier typical of the
primitive tribes. Some of them hod
noted that the beans of the coriil tree
appeared to lie exactly, uniform nnd
that, when dried, one of these Ifeans
would Imlaliee another within the
iceiglil of ii hair. The native .chiefs
tjicrtTore decreed that a "qulrat” hean
.should he the standard of tneasure-
ineiii or llie weight of. diamonds, and
Europeans wly came In seurch of the
precious stones adopted the same
scale, carrying the word and the
weight, itself'hack with them and Inter
decreeing that a ’ "carat” should he
the equlvalenttef 200 milligrams.
The story Is told that, In the days
when the heaus themselves were used
to weigh diamonds, an Englishman by
the name of Armstrong went Into the
interior of Africa with the brilliant
idea .of fleecing the natives by sub
stituting carats loaded with lead for
the beans ordinarily used for weigh
ing purposes. His remains were dis
covered near the camping place of the
tribes with whom he had attempted
to trade.
Rat Bite Not Dangerous.
A rnt is the fonlest feeder tmagin
able, yet almost every rat catcher has
been bitten dozens of times. And it
is a fact that most rat catchers con
sider the teeth of a ferret to be much
more dangerous than those of a rat,
. So far ns mammals are concerned,
the big flesh eaters are Dot dangerous.
Every one one who has read the life of
LivlDgstone will'reipember, how' ter
ribly he suffered from his mauling by
a lion. For a long time he' lay at
death's door, while for yeah after
ward the old wounds made by the
Hod's teeth kept on breaking out
afresh, usually at about the anniver
sary of their Infliction.
Almanacs.
The history of almanacs has been
traced hack to very early times. It
has been ascertained that Alexandrian
Greeks had them, though It Is not ex
actly known when they appeared in
Europe.. The oldest existing almanacs
In manuscript form date, from the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth • centuries,
whereas 'the earileBt printed almanac
was by Astronomer Purbach, and ap
peared between the years 1450 and
1461.
