The “United States” Hotel.
U 1 ran across one of the queer
est hotels in the _ world not *long
ago,’ 5 said a drummer at the Adel~

tously so, suffice it to say, it is
situated in a city made by nearly
all traveling men out of New Or
leans, and is run by an eccentric
old chap who has named his house
the United States hotel and his
Tooms after states instead of giv
ing them numbers. I went there
to inquire for a friend. ‘Yes, he’s
in Maine, ’ replied the clerk, when
I mentioned his name, ‘But > he
isii *t in Maine,’ I protested, ‘for I
happen to know he’s ^ght here in
this 'hotel.’ Then he explained.

there. The place interested me
and I could hardly tear myself
away. My friend assured me that
it was run strictly according to
state traditions. He was in Maine
at first, but they refused to send
any beer to his room on account
of the prohibition law, so he had
them change him across the hall

The Color Line.
It is interesting to note, says
the Morning News, how the states
north of Mason’s and Dixon’s line
are gradually repudiating the
proposition, beforetimes held to
be sacred by them, that “all men
are born free and equal,” and as
serting a cast of color and race.
The Indiana senate has just
passed, with practically no oppo
sition, a bill prohibiting the mar
riage of white persons to per
sons having more than one-
eighth of negro blood in
their viens. Just how the pro
portion of negro blood is to be
ascertained is not quite clear, but
presumably there will be govern
ment inspectors with samples of
cuticle graduated by color, and
by which candidates for matri
mony will be matched and graded.
Bun Into The Ground.
The craze over heroic advertise
ment seems to have been run into
the ground by some ardent crank
in Jasper, Ind., says the Halves*
ton News. A notice of a religious
revival at that place reads as fol
lows: ,
“Struck by lightning! Jasper
all on fire! Fire started in the
‘Amen corner’ of the Free Metho
dist Church last Sunday, assisted
by the Bev. Laberteaux of Jasper,
assisted by the Barn’s Horn hand
of Adrian and others. The devil’s
fire department from hell, assisted
by the hook and ladder company,
can’t stop it. Glorious displays
of light and heat every night!

At a public temperance meeting
in Hector, N. Y.; in 1828, Bey.
Joel Jewel, of Troy, Pa., intro
duced into the pledge the. letters
“O. P.” for “old .pledge,” which
pledged against distilled liquors,
and ‘ ‘T” for total, including both
distilled and fermented liquors,
When names were being taken a
young man in the gallery said:
“Add my name and a T, for I am
a T-to-toler.” Mr. Jewell after
wards adopted the word in his
speeches and writings.
The, Macon Telegraph says:
Coffee bounty reports a farmer
who with one plow has raised 100
bushels: of corn, 800 bushels of
sweet potatoes, 2,500 pounds of
pork, $90 worth of syrup and #800
worth of sea island cotton. This,
besides other minor crops usual
on. a farm, produced at a cost,
above the labor of himself and
family, of one hand at $10 a
month and board, and $80 worth
of commercial fertilizer. He
earned during his leisure enough
money, $150, to pay for his labor
and fertilizer by cutting and
shipping hard timber. The man
who did this was Mr. Seaborn
Uastinger. Is there any state in
the union that can show anything
like a parallel to this? Hard
times and Mr. Lastinger are
strangers.

Luther and His InJkst
When Martin Luther threw his
inkstand at the devil he acted
more wisely than he knew. It is
just what the church ought to be
doing all the time. The devil
himself with a clear discernment
of things has turned the tables,
and is vigorously throwing the
inkstand at the church. The ink-
stand is symbolical of literature,
good or bad. It holds all the
noble thoughts and all the base
thoughts that are dipped out and
spread upon the written or printed
page. To drop the figure and re
sort to plain, speech, the great
moral battles of the future are to
foe waged very largely through the
medium of newspapers, tracts and
books., If we are to win and hold
the world for truth and righteous
ness, we must be more diligent
than ever in circulating a sound
and wholesome literature.-—Re
ligious Herald.
The Do# Question.
Commencing on a decison of a
South Carolina j udge that jlogs
were-not property, the Charleston
News and Courier says:
“The doctrine and principle
were doubtless all right in the
days when the common Taw was-
established, but we submit that
jbhey are entirely behind the times
and should be abolished by statute.
It is somewhat singular that the
general assembly of South Caro
lina, which always has among its
members too many friends of the
dogs to allow of a *tax being levied
on these animals for the protec
tion of sheep, has hev§r passed an
act declaring the right of property
in dogs, and making it a criminal
offence to steal a dog.”
•: A Big Ranch. *
Editor Edmonds of the Manu-
s-
facturer’s Record, writes: “How
big is Texas, did you ask?
I won’t try to tell, but when you
are in the northern end of the
state you are closer to St. Paul,
Minn., than to the southern end
of the state. They tell a story of
a man down there who bad a rea
sonably large ranch—not oho of
the big ones, just, a moderate
sized one—on which: the drroot
gate was twenty' miles from the
house-—a very convenient walk for
lovers who wanted to swing on the

How It is Done.
Smith and Jones were talking
one day about their business in
terests. Smith was a hotel man
and Jones was a manufacturer’s
agent. ‘ ‘I say, ’ ’ said Jones, “how
ever do you use such amenormous
quantity of pears and peaches? ’ ’
“Well,” replied Smith, “we eat
what we can, and what we can’t
eat we can.” “Indeed! ” said the
other, “we do about the same in
our business.” “How is that?”
“We sell an order when we sell it,
and when we can’t sell it we can
cel it.”
One ounce of cream tartar dis

From the Ram’s Horn : True
love is always liberal. Love is a
fountain, not a cistern. You are
robbing God when you carry your
own cares. If you feel blue re
member God is true. The covetous
man sows his own thistles. Self-
denial means say “No” to yourself.
Learn when young—give advice
when old. Envy drops poison
into all our pleasures. There is
only one captain in the Lord’s
army. Our business is seed-sow
ing; not sheat counting.
Mrs. Richard King of Texas, is
probably the richest woman in the
United States, not excepting Mrs.
Hetty Green. Her wealth is part
ly inherited from her father, a
pioneer Presbyterian clergyman,
the first who ever went staff and
Bible in hand to pleach the gos
pel to the Indians and mixed
races that peopled the vast do
main over which his own little
daughter was- destined to hold
sway as a landed proprietor. Mrs.
King is a widow, and her land es
tates in Southern Texas amount
to 1,250,000 acres, or about 2,000
square miles.

WHY SO MANY REGULAR
PHYSICIANS FAIL
To Cure Female- Els—Some True
Reasons Why Mrs. Pinkham
is More Successful Than
the Family Doctors.
A woman is sick; some disease pecu
liar to her. sex is fast developing in her
system. She goes tocher family physi
cian and tells him a story, but not thf
whole story.
She holds something hack, loses her
head, becomes agitated, forgets what
she wants to say, and finally conceals
what she ought. to have- told, and thus
completely mystifies the doctor.
Is it any -wonder, therefore, that the
doctor fails to cure the- disease? Still,
we cannot blame the'woman, for it is
very embarrassing to detail some of
the symptoms of her suffering, even to
her family physician.
It was for this reason that years
ago Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass.,
determined- to step in and help her
sex. Having had considerable ex
perience in treating, female ills with
her Vegetable Compound;, she encour
aged the women of America to write
to her for advice ini regard to their
complaints, and, being a woman, it
was easy for her ailing sisters to pour
into her ears every detail of their suf
fering. Over one hundred thousand
women were successfully treated by
Mrs, Pinkham last year; Such are the
grand results of her experience.

Parsnip Complexion.
It doesmot require an expert to detect
Ithe superer from Kidney trouble. The
hollow- cheeks, the sunken eves, the
dark* puffy circles nnder the eyes, the
i sallow parsnip-colored complexion ini-
dicates it.
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in'the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desirp to urinate often, or a burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing* t Gairi©sville
there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it *
must be at once repeated, or if the
urine has a brick dust deposit or strong
odor.
When these symptoms are present,
no> time should Ke lost in removing the
cause* Delay may lead to gravel, ca
tarrh of the bladder, inflammation,
causing stoppage, and sometimes re-
quiringJibe • drawing ft of the urine with
instruments, or may run into Bright’s
Disease, the most dangerous stage of
kidney trduble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery-of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is a positiye remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
world-wide and it is so easy to get at
any drug store that no one need suffer
any length of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits mention The Georgia
Cracker and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y. for a sample bottle
and book telling all about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail.
