Queer freaks o/ Flower*.
“Why is it,” complained the man
with a grouch to a restaurant keeper
yesterday, “that you fellers hardly ever
have any flowers in your old joints?”
The hash founder looked up. “Flow
ers won’t live, in restaurants,” he said.
“The smoke and odor of the cooking
seems to smother them, and they never
thrive. I’ve tried it dozens of times,
and always with the same result. Put
flowers in a saloon, though, and they
grow and bloom in splendid shape. The
tobacco smoke, I suppose, serves as a
fumigator, and the fumes .of the liquor
apparently stimulate them. If you want
to make a success of flowers, put them
in a grogshop. To stunt or kill them, a
restaurant is the best ever.”—Duluth

Joe was such a pathetic little man.
He came from a quarter of the city
where crime and misery had formed
a background for the five weary years
of his unnatural little life. He was late
to kindergarten one morning and was
asked to sit by the door until the morn

restored to grace the teacher asked him
why he- was so late. “Well,” replied

Col. Estill Gaining- Ground.
Atlanta, March'. 15.— There are
evidences in the reports which are
being brought to the eapifcol every
day that Col. J. H. Estill is steadi-
ly gaining ground m his campaign
for governor, that he is not only
holding the friends he has made
but is gaining new ones wherever
he goes and wherever the people
are informed of his policy on pub
lic questions:
“I like Col. Estill’s honest, open
policy,” remarked a well-known
Georgia politician at the capital
to-day. “There is every evidence
of the fact that he means just ex;
aetly what he says, and that he
does riot say more than he propos
es to do no more than he can do.
For instance, you take the ques
tion of taxation, of income and ex
penses. The other candidates, I
notice, are making-broad and gen
eral promises that they will do
this and that, if elected, that they
will seek to; reduced taxation by
cutting down the expenses of the
state government. Now, anybody
who will analyze the matter will
readily see that no governor can
reduce taxation nor can he cut
down expenses. There are things
which are wholly within the power
of the legislature, unless the gov
ernor Bhould see fit to veto a whole
appropriation, a thing which has
seldom been done. The legislature
says how the money shall be spent;
it passes the appropriation bills,
and the tax rate most be fixed ac
cordingly. # Y
“Now Col. Estill is not seeking
to induce the people to believe
that he can and will cut down the
state’s expenditures. He does not
promise to reduce the people’s tax
es. But he does promise abusi-
ness administration;

Rev. Geo. Gay, Greenwich, Ka&, is
past S3 years of age, yet he says: “I
am enjoying excellent health for a man
of ray age, due entirely to the rejuven

It brings sleep and rest when nothing
else will, and gives strength and vital
ity even to one of my old age.”
“I am an old soldier,” writes Mr. Geo.
Watson, of Newton, la., “aad I have
been a great sufferer from nervousness,
vertigo and spinal trouble. Have spent
considerable, money for medicine and
doctors, but with little benefit. I .was
so bad my mind showed signs of weak
ness. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine,
and I know it saved my life.”
