There are two kinds of merchats that
are developed by store adversity. Ot.e '
is the man who is intimidated prompt
ly when •'Fortune" rains a few blov s
upon his head. He is the merchant
whose first thought, under the stress of j
unsatisfactory business, ia to ‘'save” j
the money he would usually spend f< r '
advertising. That impulse, if acted up
on, ends his career as a merchant —is his
self-inflicted business death-sentence.
The other sort of merchant, when
“hit hard” by discouraging conditions,
plans how he may double his adver
tising— thus effectually ‘ hitting back.” |
lie is the sort of man who creates ar.d
constructs —who builds success out of
an\ materials, under any environment.
There are merchants in this city of
both kinds. You know some of both I

Mas the following to say on ties subject:
Word comes to us that the young la-
eCnof two of the collegea of Georgia
•tawr banished all rats from their hair.

Aeschools, which have always stood

kbo
It has been o.io of the perennial won !
4cm to the writer why liny woman j
iheuld over be willing to wear such u ;
thing as ii rat anyway. When Mother j
Mature made woman, by yenerul con-
mit »h« made the most beautiful of all
features up on (lie eurtli, Certain it is
that in ull tin: World there are no liner
-turves, no subtil r lines, than those of a
■rsman’s head. Sensitive, exquisite,
these lines 1 uve Icon the delight and
the despair of urtb ts of id! generations.
And to bring out anil reveal these de-1
Icato lines, the Gri al Artist furnished
a natural drapery of hairy itself a th ng
*f wondrous lenutv.
It is in variably true that the form of
khir dress which must subtly suggests
the beautv Nature hua given is the
best Then why have wi mei gone to
such pains to disfigure themselves? In
tUsi l of the line modulations of a hu
man skull, wo have the awkward out
lines ut a horse collar or the expression-
Ibgs’tH'UCHnexa of a feather bed! But
«it only is the form of the head dis-
%urcd; the hair too is changed from a
graceful, (lowing, clinging drapery to u
formless, nameless substance. Until
aAr sirfvcnt of the recent innovations,
ttxn normal bvratled heads of hair look
ed'more like a crinite squash than any
thing else that conies to mind, und now
vhea at their best, adorned with false
■urls, bcrulTed, and he pulled, they look
imCvinliko the protuberance from a good
naea'ihile iu a hair mattress.
Sij’itfe vrri'tor, who owns that le has
fekd a great interest in the workings of
the feminine mind ever since his tirst -
his five -year-old-sweetheart told him
tejdtouldn’t kiss her and then got angry
be cause he didn’t, —the writer has spent
■iany odd moments wondering why they
<fcv it. He has never heard anyone sug-
<est that such shapes make the wearer
better. Everybody agrees that it
• unhygienic. Not many believe it is
more comfortable or convenient. Ou
Utaother hand it is only rase the wi iter
tauw-t. in which the sex persistently vie
anything that makes them less uttruc-

flicial publi-1 w | iC n ‘-.Silver threads are mixed among the gold ’’ Below we give a summi
ry ot the girl we like, which has been sent us by a triend, but it supplies
words which we perhaps might give in other phrases. Here it is:
"First and foremost she is n unselfish girl, fche has learned that there
I arc other people in the world with rights as sacred as her own. She has
learned, furthermore, that these people have a claim upon her time and tal-
j entr, and that she o ves even the mo.l unintcrestirg of them a debt ol love
laid kindly service.
; In the second place, she is a sunshiny girh Frowns and sulkiness find
no abiding place with this cncery maiden. She always looks on life’s bright
est side, taking a cheerful view of things in general. Sunshine in her laught-
; er, sunshine in her words, and sunshine in her warm handclasp.
She is, moreover, a modest girl. Modest in her dress, speech and be-
j liavior. She knows the dillerence between true modesty and pru.l shmess,
I and in cultivating the one does not bore us witli the other.
T his maiden we all adore is a kli'dhearted girl. Site has learned to re
l sped the lielings ol others and never allows herself to indulge in unkind re-
rnaiks, even for the entertainment of friends. Gossip she abhors, and would
rather cut oil her right hand than originate or repeat anything injurious to
(the fair name of some other girl. She believes that “Woman in her deepest
(legradation holds something sacred, something undefiled, some pledge and
keepsake of her higher nature."
I T he girl we like is an honest girl. Honest in lur opinions and her pro
I Cessions; not given to flattery nor lesorting to deception. She is a girl with
stability of elutiader, never sacrificing principle tor popularity. Site knows
the boundary line between innocent and sinful amusements and firmly stops
on the light side.
There is no jollier, happier, more independent being in the world than
the girl we all like."
May each and every one of you sweet girl graduates go out to meet the
stern duties ol life bravely ami-above the struggles you will have to contend
with always hold alolt the motto: "Be good sweet maul and let who will be
clever."

Dying in Harness.
Only those who witnessed the sight can know what it is to see a lite go
out while actively engage IJin the performance of duty can know what it n ea ts
to dietn harness. Tine em ugh in this instance it was only a horse The
numbers of men who have died the same way are countless and yet lit.y
have not received the praise due. Here in this city men are struggling day
by day, giving up their life bloo I without receiving the reward of comment -
ation, Loya'ty to a cause, doing one’s .duty in a work, is about the greatest
thing a man can exhibit to his fellowtnen and surely it will standout predom
inant when the last story is told ami the last summons have been given.
To® many men wear their lives out fighting against the inevitable. Toe
many struggle to keep ahead of progress only to be engulfed in its infolding
arms, from which there is no release. But back to the story in hand. Per
haps a dozen saw him fall—this horse which had served its owner so well in
Milledgcville. Tired oi the struggle, though well kept and splendidly at
tended, the animal fell in harness and died Maybe there’s a better death
to die than in the performance of duly, but give that death a plate high up
in the ranks ol honor.
If everybody were w illing wotkers, struggling on to help their lellowmen
lo greater heights life would be sweeter. If all should unite to strive to give
comfort and joy how much better it would be. A short time back the writei
was asked by a journal of national nature to write along this subject and the
theme was: ".Not how did he die, but bow did he live?" It's better to live
in harness and die in harness than it ss to live always and do nothing to en
hance the value ot your city and community, do nothing—
"To lengthen out the seldom hours ol joy,
And shorten the days of pain."
The Two Sides of Two Strikes.

men a couple ot weeks ago. Northern republican papers took occcasion to

officials in the whole United States, even including the island possessions.
They said he was powerless to maintain law and order. Other Southern

action of the governor and papers naturally expected b) those who know the
