HE HAD A BAD HABIT.
It Mftdc Him a Poor Itcatftke*
HUk In Kentucky.
The manager of a life insurance com
pan? had the floor,
“Life insurance companies. ’’ he was
Baying, "are as particular about the
people they already have on their lists
as they are about getting them on in
the beginning. They are rich, of course,
hat they are no more anxious to take
in a man who will die of disease within
the first year or two than they are to
take in a perfectly healthy man and
have him hazard his life by taking pet
eonal risks in dangerous pursuits or by
travel in unhealthy countries.
“1 remember a funny instance that
occurred once while I was living in
New England. One of our $10,000 men
had a way of calling a man a liar in the
most careless and indiscriminate man
ner and with only the merest or no
provocation. One day he was in our
office and casually mentioned the fact
that he was going to make a trip to
Kentucky.
M I When?’ inquired the manager
alertly.

M « What do you want to arrange
about it ? Isn’t it all right ?’
«« t Yes. as long as ycu stay in this
country. But if you go down to Ken¬
tucky we’ll have to advance the rate
until you come back. ’
M i Well, what in--began the
policy holder hotly, when the manager
interrupted him.
• » i Don’t fly the track, my dear fel¬
low,’ be said gently. ‘It’s all right here
and the rate is satisfactory to us; but.
by Jove, we can’t give you the same
rate ahd let you go to Kentucky and
call men liars like you do in this sec
tion. Not much! We haven’t got $10,

you oughtn’t to expect it.' ’’—Wash¬

AN HONEST ARTIST.
He Would Not Paint a Lie Even For
a Napoleon.
There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his cousin.
Prince Napoleon, whom the Parisians
called “Plon Plon. ” The prince Used to
make abusive speeches against the em¬
peror, which people were only too ready
to repeat to him. "Let him alone,’
Louis Napoleon would reply. "He is
too well known. No one would turn me
to place him on the throne. ’’
The emperor was correct, for no one
paid a good word about "Plon Plon.’'
He was commonly believed to have
shown the white feather in the Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lend was falling. An English lady, who
in her young days mingled with French
society, tells in her "Foreign Courts
and Foreign Homes’’ a story as discred¬
itable to Prince Napoleon as it is hon¬
orable to a French artist.
While the artist was painting the
historical picture of the battle of the
Alma, which the emperor bad ordered,
Prince Napoleon called at the painter’s
studio to make known to him the facts.
On leaving he said he wished the prom¬
inent figure in the battle to be himself
mounted on his white charger. He sent
the horse to the artist so that he could
paint its exact portrait. When the pic¬
ture was finished and invitations were
sent out for a “private view,” the
white charger was seen, a prominent
figure in the battle, but without a rider.
On hearing of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask
the reason. The honest arSist said the
horse should remain if the prince wish¬
ed. bnt no rider would lie on it. "Tell
the prince I have never yet painted a
lie. The hint was taken. The prince
ordered the horse to be rubbed out.
Birds That Pl«jr.
' Some birds, like all children, like to
play, and Australia and New Guinea
produce the "bower bird. ” which bcilds
regular playhouses. These houses are
mot a part of their nests, but are con
etructed usually in the shape of covered
archways of little boughs two or three
foot long. 18 inches high and about as
wide They use these houses simply for
their games, as if they were clubhouses.
Generally these playhouses are decorat¬
ed with bright colored shells and feath

houses

SHE ASKS FOtt A DIVORCE.
Mrs. Willie Glossnp Wants a
Permanent Separation.
From the Savannah Ncv.s.]
Willie D. Glossup has filed suit
in the Superior court against Wil¬
liam B. Glossup for divorce. The
petition states that the parties
were married in Savannah, June
14, 1397 and alleges various
charges of cruelty, neglect and
ill-treatment.
Mrs. Glossup will be remember¬
ed as the young woman who made
a determined effort at suicide with
morphine at a Broughton street
boarding house within a few days
after marriage to Glossup. The
fact that the bridegroom was with¬
out means and that he showed
very little regard for her was said
to account for her desperation.
The attempt at suicide was June
29, 1897, just fifteen days after the
By good work on the part of
physicians the young woman was '
saved. After recovering from the
effects of the poison she left
Savannah and her husband, and
returned to her father’s home in
Bulloch county. Mrs. Glossup re¬
turned to her husband in January,
1898, upon his promise that he
would never maltreat her again.
The petition states that very soon
thereafter Glossup resumed his
ill-treatment and abuse, and dur¬
ing the some month in which she
returned to him drove her from
the room which they were occupy¬
ing, and for a long time refused
to allow her to return. She also
charges that Glossup circulated
false and damaging rumors against
her of a most insulting and humil¬
iating nature, and that on account
of his continued cruel treatment
she was again forced tu leave him
in February, 1898.
Mrs. Glossup further states that
during the month of February,
1898, she left Savannah to go to
the home cf her parents in Bulloch
county; that Glossup was on the
train unknown to her, and that
after the train left Savannah he
approached her and by threats of
personal violence and intimidation
forced her to accompany him to
Atlanta against her will. Upon
their arrival in Atlanta he was
again unkind and cruel to her and
refused to allow her to leave him
or to furnish her with the means
of returning to Savannah. March
9, 1898, Glossup, she says, left the
place where they were boarding
and she has not seen him since,
leaving her alone in a strange city
without money and without friends
and it was only through the char¬
ity of others that she was enabled
to leave Atlanta and return to the
home of her parents.
Mrs. Glossup considers that the
facts stated are sufficient to war¬
rant her in asking for a total di¬
vorce. She asks that the name
which she bore at the time of her
marriage to Glossup, Willie D.
Holmes, be restored io her. Her
maiden name was Darsey, Holmes
being the name of her first hus¬
band, who died some time previous
to her meeting with Glossup. The
latter is said to be now a resident
of the state of Mississippi,

MUSIC IN TOWN.
Big Quantity of it Turned Loose
i»y a Jury.
A case was decided in the justice
court here Monday in which the
welfare of Statesboro was involv¬
ed to a greater extent than a
casual observer would conceive.
We tried to protect the town, but
the jury went against us. Ccnsuie
them, then, if there is too much
harmonica music in town shortly.
The case was like this: A jew
drummer came to io\vn last sum¬
mer and inveigled one of our mer¬
chants (whose name we withhold
through modesty) into giving him
an order for a large amount of
musical m3rchandise. (Some say
there was a hundred and forty 1
dollars worth of the stuff and
that it was all jews harps, but
this is untrue!) When the drum¬
mer left, the merchant relented—
lie.considered what a predicament
Statesboro would be in with half
a carload of harmonicas turned
loose among the boys—and he
sought by countermanding the
order instanter to undo the dam¬
age that was about to be done.
That was commendable but it
too late. Alas!
Since August all that music has
been cased up in a certain store
in town, and the town has been
rocking peacefully along—no dis¬
cord to jar upon our nerves. But
now the thing is different. The
house that sold the harmonicas
refused to accept the countermand
and a competent jury in the jus¬
tice court sustained the house in
its efforts to force those unhar
monious harmonicas upon us.
That means that Statesboro will
have to endure the blowing until
the diobolical things are blown
out.
It is not as bad, though, as it
might have been—for instance, if
there had been ’more of them and
tbe} T had been jews harps instead
of mouth organs.
REMOVAL NOTICE.
I have removed my office to the
room in rear of Caldwell's drug
store, lately occupied by Dr W. D.

W. S. Preetorius.
Believed He’d Take Them.
An ebony colored citizen from
a rural district, with one eye look¬
ing up in a north-easterly direc¬
tion and the other looking down
sorter to the south, walked into
the Ordinary’s office Friday and
wanted to buy “a pair” of mar¬
riage license.
He went right to the point by
asking if that was where they
were kept, and when the official
assured him that it was, he want¬
ed to know “What you ax fur
’em.” There is one old price for
them which doesn’t fluctuate ac
cor ling to the Imv of supply and
demand, and the Ordinary told
him the price was still only a
dollar and fifty cents. Sambo
was delighted to find that they
had not risen in price Since he
last purchased, and his eyes fairly
twinkled li.j as he i,- curtly replied, • i
‘‘Then III take ’em " ’
T+ It was „ well f „n hat the Ordinary
had not said a nickel more, for
then he would have lost a cus¬
tomer, for one dollar, a quarter
and five nickels was all the cross¬
eyed son of Ham had in his to¬
