John Stevenson, the iron and
steel man, built a $65,000 house at
New Castle, Pa. Then he became
displeased with some of his neigh¬
bors. He sold out his hohlings in
the New Castle mills and had his
house taken down, stone by stone,
carted to Sharon, twenty miles
away, and put together again. It
cost him a lot of money, but it re¬
lieved his feelings, and possibly
those of the New Castle people as
well.
An astonishing piece of news
now comes from Bolivia, where
the newspapers are talking of an¬
nexation to this country as a
means to avoid submission to the
aggression of Chile. Moreover, in
the provinces of Tacra and Arica,
which are held by Chili, there have
been meetings of the populace
where it was formally resolved to
raise the stars and stripes if the
provinces were not restored to
Peru.
A hot weather reporter in Wash¬

Shades of Ananias! Those fol¬

Two young men in jail on a
charge of theft at Eureka, Kan.,
tried to saw their way out. The
sheriff made (hem undress so he
could search their clothing for the
saw, giving them other clothes to
wear in tho meantime. These the
prisoners burned on tho floor of
the cell, and the sheriff, by way of
punishing them, has left them
naked ever since, And the mos
quitos are very active there at
night, too.
Upon opening a car laden with
hay in a Chicago freight yai'd, the

third of the hay had been devoured.
Their stomachs were so much dis¬
tended from overeatiug that both

incident reminds us of that story
about the merchant who ordered a
barrel of potatoes and the commis¬

watches instead, which the mer
chant declined to receive.
bomo of the American s dfliers
in the Philipii ics tell o f a strange
sight witnessed #
during a church
service recently held in their
honor. The interior of the church
had been bedecked by the natives
in red, white and blue, the master¬
piece of decoration being a painted
eagle on a shield hung over the
imago of one of the saints, On the
banner which streamed from the
eagle’s bill was this legend: “Old
Reliable Condensed Milk.” it
seems that the artist who painted
tho eagle had copied it, inscription
aud all, from the label on an old
milk can, believing that the ban¬
ner bore the American motto.
Chances On The Farm.
A gentleman of our acquaintance
was heard to remark complaining
ly a few days ago that he had
“missed it by not being a
they all grow rich without work¬
ing while we poor working men are
growing poorer every day l’ 1 In his
own mind this gentleman possess¬
ed a diversity of talents, and the
world has done him great wrong in
not recognizing them. He has
gone up the scale from farming to
peddling without the world having
tumbled to him, and in his old
days has discovered wherein he
had made a fatal mistake, after it
1 9 t°° lot* 5 to correct it.
The gentleman’s attention was
called t« the fact that, thrift and
industry were required to make a
success in any line, and that the
fellow who lacked the energy to
make a living on the farm would
probably find the law busiuess
quite as unprofitable. He was re¬
minded that in Bulloch county
there are far more independent
livers on the farms than there are
off of them, while a large per cent,
of the professional men are bound
to their offices long hours every
day and are frequently burning
the “midnight oil” when the in¬
dustrious farmer is spending bis
hours in dreamland.
These conditions are true; there
is money for the hustler on
farm more certainly and
easily than elsewheie.
An exchange writing on
line says.
“It is not the rate of wages that
decides a young man’s chances in
life. A very wise economist has
“It is not what a man earns,
but what he saves, that adds to his
Wages are higher and
the necessities of life cheaper than
they ever were; but times have
changed in other respects, and the
luxuries of fifty years ago have be¬
come necessities. Society in its
simplest form demands ef the
young man what would have been
considered reckless extravagance
then. It is useless to say that
these demands need not be acceded
to for the unwritten laws of society
must be obeyed, or he who disre¬
gards them will find
out of a job and then what
of the promising young man?
is ns difficult for a young man
succeed in business now as it
was in this country. Opportuni¬
ties, considered alone, are
than they ever were; but
are worse than they ever were, and
far more numerous. They meet
the young man at every street cor
ner, at home, at his work—every¬
where. They are planning his
overthrow while he sleeps, and
dog his footsteps as ho goes t j and
fro. The enforced economics of a
generation ago formed an excel¬
lent training, and were almost a
sure guarantee of success in any
line of business when a foothold
was once secured. Now the little
extravagances and the innumer¬
able temptations that beset his
path make the future struggle for
existence more fierce, and the
ground wherever they occur more
slippery. As a result 90 per cent,
of the men in “business” fail.
Less than 10 per cent, was the rule
only a few decades ago. What is
the chance for a young man to own
a farm and pay for it, beginning
as a farm laborer? They are as
good as they ever were. It requires
more knowledge and skill than it
nice did, but the knowledge and
skill necessary for success are
more easily attained, and oppor¬
tunities are more numerous and
better than they ever were, if
labor saving tools have supple¬
mented hand labor, there are few¬
er laborers to compete with, and
skill is more in demand than it
ever was and is better paid. We
were talking with a young man
last week who has sold fruit enough
in two years to pay for his land,
and the very labor that accom¬
plished tins result has doubled the
value of liis farm. Not every one
can do so well as this, but half so
well may lie counted as success.
The young farmer who studies his
business with a determination to
excel can soon command good
wages. When this occurs he can
rent land judiciously, and within
five years can buy land and im¬
prove it. Of course he should be
judiciously married in the mean¬
time, and this is as easily done as
the other. If he loves the free and
independent life ot the farm well
enough to deserve success ho will
succeed. If he is a careless chump,
he will fail here as he would else¬
where. Chances are as good as
they ever were.”
The ! omh Still Expanded.
Mention has frequently been
made in !!ie papers about the ex¬
pansion of the south until now
the lynching mania, heretofore
charged only to a few southern
states, has extended over the en¬
tire nation—North, Hast and West.
Great expansion.
Only last week a mob in New
York raged two days in search of
a negro who had killed a police- .
man ; and only a day later “Akron,
O.,” says the Valdosta Times, “the
home of the tire-eating Foraker,
comes along with the wildest mob
that has yet broke loose to wreak
vengeance upon a negro charged
with any sort of crime. The Ak
ron mob was so thirsty for the
gore of an offending negro that a
boy and an infant in its carriage
were killed and a dozen or more
men wounded in the simple effort
to quiet the mob after it was
shown that the negro had been
spirited away. The jail was torn
down and a chunk of dynamite
was placed under the corner of the
city ball. A newspaper office was
demolished and the militia was
defied. Hardware stores and gun
shops were broken open to get
arms with which to fight and
thousands of people are said to
have been in the mob. And it
was vengeance against a negro
who “attempted” an outrage that
set the mob to moving.
“In no city of the South and in
110 section of the South have the
people been wrought to such a
frenzy. No where in the South
hove the people become lunatics
and desperadoes, destroying prop¬
erty and killing innocent men in
the effort to measure summary
punishment to the brutes. In the
South the mobs go about their
work in a comparatively orderly
way. They punish the offender
and then stop. For genuine “out¬
rages” the pious people of the states
of Illinois, New York and
have seen more in a week than
happened in the South in all the
years since emancipation, put
gether. Missionaries are
there.”
That Girl Is a Jewel.
One frequently sees in the
pers reports of elopement
marriage, and it is put down
once that the young man was
exnctly all right, or the
parents would no have
so seriously. This is probably
in throe-fourths of the cases—the
young man is not worthy of tho
girl lie wants to marry, and her
parents know it. If these elope¬
ment marriages were followed up,
they would probably furnish
argument in support of the state¬
ment that marriage is a failure.
It is not enough to say that the
young woman loves her sweetheart
so dearly that she chooses to for¬
sake her family for him. The
girl whose love is pure, loves her
parents first, because it is they
who have brought her into exist¬
ence and cared for her in her heip
lessness; aud slie will respect their
advico in preference to her own
whims and fancies. When she
goes to take the important step of
her life if she is worthy of love
she will not turn her back upon
them and slip out into the black¬
ness of night with a man who to
her and to them is a practical
stranger—she will win them to her
way of thinking by her love for
them and her lover.
A story is reported from Nash
ville of the elopement of a young
couple from ail adjoining county
who went there to be married.
They arrived early Saturday morn¬
ing and immediately applied to
the county clerk for a marriage
hscense. They were the best dress¬
ed couple that has entered the
clerk’s office for many a day. The
would-be groom admitted to the
clerk that they wished to marry
against the wishes of tho girl’s
mother, but so long as they were
of age they thought they had u
right to do so. The license was
granted aud the young man asked
to be shown to the nearest minis¬
ter but here the girl interposed
aud sugested that they first look
over the city. The two strolled
along the street and finally brought
up at the homo of tho Methodist
minister. The young man started
to lead the way to the door, but
tho girl grasped his arm and held
him back.
“Oh, Will,” she cried, the tears
starting down her cheeks, “I can’t
do it. I can’t without mother's
consent. You know I love you so
tnueb, but now I am sorry I
Please let’s go
home and my mamma will relent
in time.”
I he young man pleaded, but all
in vain, the girl was firm. The
license was returned and the two
loft Saturday evening for their
home, trusting to be forviven.
All honor to the girl who chose
first to win her mother’s consent.
She is a jewel, and the young man
will filld it worth his timo to wait

Speed On The Ocean.
During the past 10 years the de¬
velopment of speed on the water
has been advanced much faster
than that on land.
The English navy now boasts of
a torpedo boat destroyer which is
the fastest vessel ever constructed.
It has attained a speed of 43 miles
an hour and can easily show her
heels to any craft afloat. Though
this wonderful boat is only 210 ft.
long, 27 ft beam and 7 ft. draft,
it requires 12,000 horse-power to
develop its best speed. There is
hardly any preceptible vibration
even when the boat is going at its
highest rate. It is the highest
achievement of the science of
building ocean fliers.
The average railroad speed is
not now much greater thru it was
10 years ago, and the highest speed
ever attained by a locomotive was
made over 9 years ago. In the
meantime there has been a great
insrease of speed both of vessels of
war and commercial craft, The
assertu 11 that a boat could be con¬
structed that would go 43 miles
hour would have been scouted even
five years ago as absurd.
Botli battleships and cruisers
are much speedier now than they
were even so late as the Spanish
American war, and the trans-At¬
lantic record has been broken
twice within a few weeks by the
same ship.
The naval constructors are workr
ing wonders and will probably
give us seme other surprise soon.
Usefulness of the float.
There are thousands of goats in
Bulloch county which to date have
accomplished nothing except tc
furnish an occasional mess of kid
at country picnics and to make
their owner’s neighbors cuss every
day in the year, But a new
avenue.of usefulness has been
opened for them. A writer in an
agricultural journal sets them for¬
ward as milk producers in this
language:
“The usefulness of tho goat in
clearing foul lands and the profit¬
ableness of the animal for its hair,
skin and even carcass, is becoming
pretty well understood. But the
goat is valuable as a dairy animal.
If the cows, for instance are being
used to supply a city milk trade,
the keeping of goats for the home
milk supply would be an^exeelient
policy. The goat will live where
a cow would starve; and while it.
liko every domestic animal, will
do best on good pasture, it will
ive ail(J yield I))ilk ou ast0 nisli
j ng jy m t | 0 f ood
(‘The animaland its milk are al¬
most entin Jy exempt from disease;
the milk is more nutritious than
that of the cow and agrees with
stomachs that cow’s milk frequent¬
ly offends. The animal requires
only the cheapest kind of shelter
fiom the storms and in winter. If
by reason of drought, soiling is
neccessary, leaves, vegetables, re¬
peelings of the apple or pota
to> breatl crusts „r stale bread, if
they are sweet and clean, will bo
all the feed that i» needed. All
goals, however, will not eat the
same food, and the feeder will
have to study the appetites of the
individual animal. Frequent feed¬
ing and a variety of food in winter
will bo found beneficial. Roots,
oil meal, oats, corn (of tho latter,
in the whole state, the goat is very
fond) are proper feed, especially
for the milking goat. Rock salt
is greatly relished- The flavor of
goat’s milk cannot be distinguised
from that of cow's milk, if it is
properly cared for. From three
to four pints iwday is the average
yield of a good milker- The milk
is so rich and of such a character
that in making pastry it will take
the place of eggs.”

BROTHER AM) SISTER.
Ilow pleasant is home—when
brother and sister live in peace
an d strive to make each other
happy ! Some children will quar
reI aboufc the most Mug things;
they will call each other bad
names and tell of each other’s
faults. Then, I can not say that
brother or sister is to be blamed
for all this, for, had their father
and mother begun aright with
them in their youthful days, and
kept a tight rein on them until
later years, they would be made
to reap more happiness.
If you wish your brother or sis¬
ter to love you, you must show by
your words and your acts that you
truly love them. Do not laugh at
your brother’s or sister’s mistakes
but tell them of it kindly. The
affection that exist between mem¬
bers of the family afford pleasn. •
scenes of human happiness, and
that which exists between brother
and sister should he cultivated.
It is a beautiful and lovely feel¬
ing, and sepms to be wholly pleas¬
ing in its thoughts and feelings It
must necessarily be a pure* spirit
ual love. It should be cultivated
as one of the sweetest plants in
the garden of the heart. It should
be watered every morning and
every evening with the dews of
good nature, and sunned all day
with the light of kindness. It
should Imar nothing but loving
and tender words' and see noth¬
ing but smiles and tokens of con¬
fidence and
Affection docs not beget
ness, nor is it unmanly for a
ther to be firmly attached to a
ter; such a boy will make a
and brave man. The custom
the young man to kiss his sweet,
innocent sister night and
as they met shows its
upon him. He will never
it, and when he shall take
one to his heart as his wife,
shall reap the golden fruits
of. The young man who is in
habit of giving his sister his arm
as rhey go to and from church, will
never leave his wife to find her
»ay as best, she can. He who
been trained to see that his
is seated before he sought his own,
will never mortify a neglected
wife in tho presence of strangers.
A young man is very much
his sister and young lady
choose to make him. If sisters
are watchful and affectionate they
may in various ways lead them
along till their characters
formed and then a high respect
for ladies, and a manly self-re
sp'jct, will keep them from ming¬
ling m low society.
The brother and sister should
grow up together, he educated at
the same school, engage in the
same sports, and as far as practi¬
cable, in the same labors. The
same moral lessons and duties
should bear upon them. It is an
error that the youths of our land
are separated in so many of the
The most important duties of life.
girls are taught that it is not
pretty to go with the boys, and
the boys that it is net manly to
be with the girls, while at the
same time the society of each is
necessary for the development of
the character of tho other. When
they do meet it is only for sport
and nonsense; to joke and decieve
each other.
God loves little children that
love each other; he also loves old¬
er borly people that are kind and neigh¬
to each other. One of his
great demands is, Honor thy
father and thy mother that it may
be well with the, aud that thou
mayest live long upon the earth.”
Eph. 6:2-3. He also says, “Little
children, let us not loye in word
neither in the tongim, but in deed
and in truth.” I. John 3: 18.
