She never got it, and has written to know' whether I’m mad at her or some of us are sick. “I don’t know nothing about it, madam.” “Of course you don’t. I suppose the postmaster-general would say the same thing. My own private opinion is that this government is running at mighty loose ends. I put a stamp on that letter to pay for having it sent. It was directed as plain as print. It is lost or stolen and my own cousin is blaming me for neglecting her. Its all politics, that’s what it is, putting in a lot of raw hands every four years, and I don’t pro pose to stand it. I’m going to find out whether you mail men can defraud your customers and make family trouble just because you don’t know enough to look after your business.” “But I never saw your letter, my good woman.” “I don’t care anything' ab»ut that. Neither did my cousin ever see it. I’ll not sleep till I write the President and give him a piece of my mind. The idea of paying an army of men to lose letters. Its ridiculous. It won’t be long before some of you are looking for other jobs, or I miss my guess.” During this conversation the woman’s husband dove frantically into his pockets, ran hatless down the street, put that letter into a mail box, and afterwards made a fine show of temper while helping his wife abuse the government. —Exchange.

He is a man speaking to men—a man, is true., endowed with more lively eensibilit} 7 , more enthusiasm and tenderness who has a greater knowledge of human nature and a more comprehensive soul than are supposed to be com mon among mankind; a man pleased with his own passions and volitions, and who rejoices more than ether men in the spirit of life that is in him; delighting to contemplate similar volitions and passions as manifested in the go ings on of the universe and habit ually impelled to create them where he does 15ot find them. To these qualities he has added a' disposition to be affected more than other men by absent things, as if they were present; an ability of conjuring up in himself passions which are indeed far from being the same as those produced by real events, yet (especially in those parts of the general sympathy which are pleasing and delightful) to more nearly resemble the pas sions produced by real events than anything which, from the motions of their own minds merely, other men are accustomed to feel in themselves; whence, and from practice, he has acquired a great er readiness and power in express ing what he thinks and feels, and especially those thoughts and feelings which, by his own choice or from the structure of his own mind, arise in him .without im mediate external excitement. A Noteworthy Article. The New York Journal some- - «* times drops sensationalism and comes dow;n to facts. It did so in the following noteworthy editorial and article, which every boy and young man should ctlt out and preserve: “Dear young men, you are all ambitious in a vague sort of way. You would all like to be recog nized as great, and you would really do a good deal in the way of self sacrifice to achieve fame. But do you know what the situ ation is? In twenty years from now, or in thirty years, some man will be the big boss of this country. He will be in the white house after a hard fight and all the conntry will be looking at him in admiration and envy. The individual is a young man now, do you know where he is, what he is doing? He is out on a farm somewhere, feeding pigs or building fires at four in the morn ing, or he is selling trash on a train, or working in machine shop, or trying to learn law' in some lit tle one-horse town. Wherever he is, and whatever he is, he is living a life that prevents wasting his vitality on nonsense. He is saving up his strength and growing all in one direction, not dividing his fine energies between clothes, cig arettes, neckties, photographs of girls and looking glasses. He is at the bottom of the ladder. He hasn’t one-half your chance or advantages. He has perhaps a very imperfect educa tion, and you would be shocked at his clothes. But he will beat you all, and in thirty years from now your boast will be that you knew the great So-and-So, and you will hang about telling how he used to feed hogs and is not too proud to admit it. And you will be asking the pig feeder for favors. You all know that this is a fact, don’t you? It ought to encourage and not discourage you. You ought to say to yourself, ‘I shall give up the company of fools and cultivate men from whom I can learn something. I shall study events and not my growing mus tache.’ The young men of the city are always beaten by the young men of the country in the race for life’s big prizes, and simply because they fail to keep the start with which they begin life.” It is impossible for the system to withstand the demands made upon it just at this season, with out the assistance of a good puri fying and strengthening tonic. The changes which Nature decrees shall take place each spring are so severe that a breakdown is almost sure to come. It is wise that all possible assistance be given during this period, as upon this purifying process depends the health for the entire summer. Everybody just now should take a thorough course of Swift’s Specific for #we The which thoroughly cleanses the blood of all the accumulated im purities, tones up and strengthens the entire system, and aids Nature in renovating and renewing the body so as to render it healthy and strong. Those wTio purify their blood with S. S. S. at this season are well fortified against the many forms of disease so prevalent dur ing the dreaded heated term, for it has been demonstrated that the system that is thoroughly purified in the spring is well prepared to resist disease all summer. No other remedy on the market is equal to Swift’s Specific as a spring medicine, because it is the only purely vegetable blood rem edy and is guaranteed absolutely free from potash, mercury and all other minerals. It cleanses, puri fies, builds up and strengthens. Insist on S. S. S., for there is noth ing half as good. A La Wheel. First Shade—“Dorothy’s wings always look well.

Georgia’s Regiments Subject to the Gall of the President. “The colonels commanding” Georgia’s several militia regiments have received inquiries concerning the strength of their several com mands. These inquiries came from the Department of War at Washington, and the military boys of Georgia have been on the qui vive recently, expecting march ing orders at any time. In this connection it is interest ing to note the relation the militia of the various states bears to the general government. The relation ship was a creation of the constitu tion of the United States, which provides that “the Congress shall have power to provide for calling forth the militia to execute the t law's of the Union, suppress insur rections and repel invasions, and for organizing, arming and dis ciplining the militia, and for gov erning such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively the appoint ment of officers and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress,” and that the president “shall be commander-in-chief of the army aqd navy of the United States and of the militia of the actual service of the United States. Under this authority the Congress as early as 1795, passed an act em powering the president “to call forth such number of the militia of the state or states most convenient to the place of or scene of action as he may deem necessary to repel in vasion or to suppress such rebel lion, and to iasue his orders for that purpose to such officer of the militia as he may think proper. Georgia’s militia is, therefore, subject to the call of the president, and they are ready to respond like men whenever the call is made. Consumption Positively Cared. Mr. R. B.

The male ostrich hatches out the eggs, looks after the brood, keeps his eyes open for men, birds and beasts, and sounds a loud, snorting warning sound when he sees an enemy. The i rood, when warned, fade out of eight. Each chick squats motionless, its head in the sand and its body so near in color to that of the sand and scant herbage as to deceive even an experienced hunter. Its body looks like a gray desert bush, and the gauchos—the cowboys of the parhpas-when searching for young ostriches examine every bush within many rods of the spot phere a brood disappears. Often what seems a bush is found* to be in part or wholly a } T oung ostrich. With its head up, the bird would be at once detected; wiIh its head in the sand it often escapes even the keen eyed fox.—Youth’s Com panion. All druggists sell Dr. Miles’ Pain Pills.
