The World’s [Republics.
Atlanta Constitution.
What- may be called the era- of
modern republics began with the
declaration of independence in 1776,
when the United States of America
threw off the yoke of Great Britain
and became one of the separate and
distinct powers of the globe.
So wonderful has been our growth
since achieving our independence of
Great Britain that other countries
have been induced by our example
to try the experiment of popular
self-gqvernment for themselves, and
today there are not less than twenty-
live republics iff existence through
out the globe. Most of them are in
prosperous conditions, and year by
year new ones are .being constantly
added to the number.
At the close of the American rev
olution this country stood alone as
the champion of republican liberty,
and under the flag of the new gov
ernment there were lesB than 3,000,-
000 people who enjoyed the privil
eges and immunities of republican
institutions, but today, under the
various nationalities which are mod
eled upon the government of the
United States, there are fully 220,-
■000,000 of people embraced in the
citizenship of the world’s different
Republics. The complete list of na
tionalities which are now governed
by free institutions is as follows:
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uhili, Co
lombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France,
Gauteraala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexi
co, Nicaragua, Orange Free State,
Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, San Do
mingo, Switzerland, the Transvaa 1 ,
the United States, Uruguay, Venez
uela, Liberia and Cuba.
Most of these republics are located
• on this side of the water, only five
(being found on the other. Our own
great republic comes first and is fol
lowed in order by Franoe, second;
^Brazil, Third, and Mexico, fourth.
But the fruits of the republican
'principle of government is not re
stricted to those countries which are
today included among the number
of republics, but likewise extends to
those countries which though still
moiinrohial in form have been
greatly nroditied by reason of the
.growth of republicanism throughout
the globe. With the progress of the
twentieth century the victories of
the republican idea of government
-will become still more worldwide.
Don’ta for Literary Beginners.
Don’t tell the editor what your
family or friends or literary acquain
tances say of your manuscript.
Don’t urge the Gditor to buy your
manuscript because you need the
money to help you in contributing
to the support of your family or in
making your way through college.
Don’t assume a jaunty, saroastio
or insistent tone’ with the editor.
.Don’t ooyly ask him to “permit this
diterary dove to nest in your olive-
tree or else return it to the ark at
the above address.”
Don’t try to temper the severity
of his judgment by sending him
ipressed flowers with your maim-
script, or to impress him with your
literary power and experience by
telling him that you “write on the
■ spur of the moment and never cor
rect.”
Bear in mind, in short, thai the
best way to submit a manusoript is
simply to Bubmit it and let it speak
(for itself.—Franklin B. Wiley, in the

No Loss of Time.
I have sold Chamberlain’s Colic,
■Cholera aiid Diarrhoea Remedy
for years, and would rather be
■out of coffee and sugar than it. I
sold five bottles of it yesterday to
threshers that could go no far
ther, and they are at work again
this morning—H. R. Phelps,
Plymouth, Oklahoma. As will be
seen by the above the threshers
were able to keep on with their
work without losing a single day’s
time. You should keep a bottle
of this Remedy in your' home.

Bees Stop a Trolley.
t AoRusta Herald.
There was trouble on trolley car
No. 28, in charge of Motorman A.
M. Whittle, bound for the city, one
morning recently.
The car left Turpin Hill on time,
and all went as merry as a marriage
bell until No. 28 reached a point
.near the corner of Jackson and
I Walker streets, then the trouble be-
! gan.
| Mortorman Whittle was looking
; ahead, little suspecting danger,when
■he espied a dark cloud and several
, small boys. The cloud buzzed and
moved towards the car, while the
small boys did their best to get that
cloud to light op a tree, just like
clouds do, of course, every day.
On came the car, and on came the
trouble, dark, foreboding. The trou
ble settled on the trolley vehicle and
went right inside and sat down—on
the ceiling. Then the cloud separa
ted, and so did the passengers and
motorman. You never saw folks
leave a trolley car in such a hurry—
they went out of the oar at both
ends, and the motorman shut off the
current and sought safety in flight.
By this time you hove guessed
that car No. 28 was oeoupied by a
swarm of bees, and you have guess-
td right. The fiery insects took
complete possession and made a
close examination of that car, while
the dismayed motorman and passen
gers stood at a safe distance and
awaited developments.
The bees got tired after a few
minutes and left the car. Then the
crew and passengers got on the de
layed trolley and arrived late at
their destination.
And now the politician who was
on board is being jollied about his
having a bee in his bonnet.

Still Enjoyable Reading.
Mr. Hawley looked down at his
, wife with pitying indulgence as she
j sat busily writing in a small, book
the day after Christmas, says an ex-
I change. “Copying that old list of
| names and presents, my dear, I sup
pose,” he said lightly. “Now, how
much better it would be if you
would just exercise your memory as
I do mine, and save all this writing
year after year. Why, I sent forty
presents,” repeated Mr. Hawley, ris
ing on his toes and falling on his
heels to emphasize his statement,
“and yet I make no note of them
save in my mind, my dear.”
“I know you are wonderful in that
way, Henry,” said little Mrs. Haw
ley, meekly, “but I’m sure I should
make mistakes if I didn’t keep a list.
Oh, here’s a letter that came to you
from Jack in the last mail this after
noon.”
The indulgent smile lingered on
Mr. Hawley’s face as he opened his
letter, but it faded and his color
heightened as he read his nephew’s
communication:
Dear Uncle: Thank you very much
for the handsome Jcopy of “Vanity
Fair ” I am sure, as father says,
that I shall enjoy reading it just as
much as I did when you gave it to
me last year and the year before and
the year before that. Your affec
tionate nephew, Jaok.

Won’t Follow Advice After Pay
ing For It.
In a recent article a prominent \
physician, says, “It is next to im-'
possible for the physician to get
his patients to carry out any pre-
ssribed course of hygiene or diet
to the smallest extent; he has but
one resort left, namely, the drug
treatment.” When medicines are
used for chronic constipation, the
most mild and gentle obtainable,
such as Chamberlain’s Stomach &
Liver Tablets, should be employ
ed. Their use is not followed by
constipation, as they leave the
bowels in a natural and healthy
condition. For sale hv all dealers
