A citizen who stands pretty well in his own estimation, and, for that matter, in the estimation of the public, also, says the Detroit Free Press, went abroad for a period of two years. When he returned to Detroit the first man he met was an old friend, who was about to pass him with a cool bow. “What’s the matter?” asked the returned traveler. “Ain't you go ' iDg to speak to a fellow- after such an absence?” “Absence? Been out of town?” “Out of town! Why, man alive, I’ve been two years in .Europe.” “No? Can’t be possible. Why I never missed you,” said his friend. The other turned away m anger and buttonholed an old chum, to whom he said: “Well, Pve got back.” “Been over to N’York?” asked the chum. “Thunder, man, I’ve been to the old world!” exclaimed the disgrun tied voyager. “You-don’t-say-so?” was the amazed retort of the solemn look ing chum. □The next acquaintance remark ed, as he stopped a moment, “I haven’t seen you for a week or two. Had haj fever?” That broke the combination, The returned traveler got on his dignity and declined to notice any more of his townsmen till they seat a brass band around to serenade him, and be learned that it was a put up job to take him down a lit tle. It is so hard to persuade the average mortal that he never will be missed. Gold In tlie Georgia Rivers. One of the most promising Schemes by which a fortune was not made was that of an inventor of much mechanical genius, who got up a plan for getting the gold out of the Georgia rivers. Most of the streams which flow from the gold districts of Georgia have“col- or” in their sands, but not always in paying quantities. This man, says the Globe-Democrat, of St. Louis, proposed to build a boat 150 feet long, and Have a sluice running all the way round it, thus giving a sluice length of 300 feet. Then, by a steam-shovel arrange ment, he intended to scrape up the sand out of the bottom of the river and drop it in the sluice, through which a stream of water would al - ways be running. The gold would collect in the bottom as in any other sluice, and at intervals there would be “cleaning up,” which he expected would be highly profitable. As soon as one locality was exhausted the boat would move on to another, and, to use a common expression, he thought there were millions in it. The scheme was never tried, for before he was ready to put it into operation he found an opening in Colorado and went out there, but a great many people in Georgia believed it to be perfectly practi cable, and regretted that the ex periment was not made. Pills Won’t Cure Dyspepsia. Dyspeptics are ever hopeless. They seek relief from their distress of stomach and of liver, and find if- not. Indigestion, heartburn, verti go, extreme lassitude, loss of ener gy! peeAishness, etc., is the bane of their existence, and mars the com placent feelings of others around the family fireside. Why won’t dyspeptics come and be cured. It can be done. There is one sure way of strengthing the digestive organs and removing every symp tom of general debility caused thereby. But this cannot be done by the taking of pills and other ca thartic mixtures. Such treat ment, while seeming to give temporary relief at first, in the end aggra vates the disease and increases the suffering, for it is like whipping a tired horse, it irritates and urges but. the strength to move at last gives out entirely; Thousands of former dyspeptics are now happy in health and strength of stomach, brought about by use of the finest of strengthening and healing tonic alteratives, known- as Dr. John Bull’s Sarsaparilla, the condensed virtue of many excellent herbs. It is the biggest and the best Sarsa parilla sold.

The young man starting out in life asks himself over and over again, “what shall I do?” While much may depend on the judicious decision of what trade or avocation shall be made his life’s pursuit, it matters less after all what he does, than how he does it; The old axiom, “there is no road to fortune,” has proved bitterly and sadly true to many a dreamer. No matter whether a man starts out to labor with hand or braio, he must put vim and energy into his work, or he will -fail utterly. If he does no higher work than to handle a pick or shovel, he must put into it the thought, “how shall I make each stroke count for the most, in results?” As there is no trade that will give a man success without ef fort, so there is no locality that will prove an* idler’s paradise, or a lazy man’s elisium. The man who has no capital, no brain and no en ergy, is neither needed or wanted anywhere; least of all in a bustling new town. The man who has no original ideas, who cannot think for himself, who is dependent on others for plans, and for guidance in the execution of plans after they have been thought out by other brains, would better stay- where he is, for he will find business condi tions about the same everywhere. The man who never hangs his hands by his side, saying, “I can’t fiud anything to do,” is the man who wins. What he cannot find he makes. If there is no path he hews one. If there is no business for him he creates business. He puts all the strength of his hand and the vigor of his brain into the duty of to-day, and reaches out for broader opportunities for to-mor row. Even though to-morrow is golden with promises he labors faithfully for to-day’s smaller rec ompense. Against hindrances he presses bravely forward; obstacles he hurls aside; difficulties ht sur mounts, and wins many glorious triumphs. For such men there are places everywhere. The world is calling for them, and success will follow them wherever they may go. A suit has been filed in the United States Circuit Court of New York to test the validity of the McKinley bill, on the ground that the bill is not a law, as it was pass ed through the lower house of con gress when there was not a quorum present. The suit is in the name of a large importing firm, which is backed by all the importers of New York, who will, in the event of the failure of the present suit, make a fight on the bill, because the tobac co clause was omitted from the original bill signed by the Presi dent, and was restored in the pres ent law by the conference commit tee, which, it is claimed, invalidates the whole bill. Dou’t be a grumbler. This world is a very fine world —a beautiful world—with a great many cares and troubles, it’s true, but a far better world, all around, up one side and down the other, than the grumbler will ever see. Don’t be a grumbler! Take things as they come. Put on a bright face and try to make them better^ Encourage the good in life; take hold of your brother’s hand with a firm grasp that meaus “I’m with you.” Quit croaking, quit grumbling. In other words, be a man, with a man’s am bition—not a stumbling block in every progressive man’s way. The late Justice Miller, on one occasion said, from his high posi tion on the supreme bench, “To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to be stow it upon favorite individuals to aid private enterprise, is none the less a robbery, because it is under the forms of lav/ and is called leg islation. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms. Nor is it taxation * * ■* There can be no lawful tax which is not laid for a public purpose.” A Sale investment.

The lion that we fear On the way will be chained. - Many, if not most, of the troub les of life are imaginary. Brooding oyer that which is un available is a waste of time and en ergy. Life is sweet, and can be made sweeter, by making the best of cir cumstances. Difficulties may seem to be in surmountable, but there is always away out of them. Mountains of trouble may be seen in the dim distance, but as we approach them they vanish. Never draw a dark picture for yourself or any one else. Always look on the bright side of things. The blind, as a rule, are more chesrful than those who see. The reason is that they obey the max im, “Never grieve over spilled milk” FACTORY, REHOUSE POPLAR STEEET, MACON, GA. Words of Wisdom. Danger and security are close neighbors. A little world always makes a little man. Head love never sheds any of it’s own blood. A poor lock is a good friend to the burglar. To seek the truth is betten than to dig for gold. We cannot own anything that we do not enjoy. Love can only be measured by what it will suffer. The way to make a man right is to make his heart right. If there is good in us it will be sure to inspire good in others. If some people never had any teeth they would live longer. Lions are never so big as we think they are from their roaring. Buckleii'sArnica Salve.
