FRANKS VICTORY.
“No,” said Henry, who was
fourteen years old and very
thoughtful for his age, “those
words of the Savior about turning
the other cheek when you are
struck in the face are not to be
taken literally; they are like that
other saying about the mountain
being removed and cast into the
midst of the sea. Our teacher
told us, you remember, to get at
the spirit of the words. You
know yourself that no boy in our
school could let himself be slapped
in the face, and not strike back,
without being thought a coAvard
and a milk-sop. Could we follow
that rule in our every day life, pa?”
“You are certainly right, my
son, in always trying to get at the
spirit of the Savior’s words. But
if you and your brother can spare
a few minutes from your lesson, I
will tell you an incident that hap¬
pened in our school when I was
a boy, which may help us on this
subject.
"One day we were practicing
for a match-game. I was in the
left field; game had been called,
for gome reason, and I was talking
to the center-fielder, when we
heard Joe Harding’s angry voice:
‘“You did.’
“ ‘No, I did not/ quietly replied
Frank Talbott.
“ ‘I say you did, and if you say
you didn’t, that’s the same as call¬
ing me a liar, and nobody shall
call me a liar.’
“Joe was a splendid-looking fel¬
low, the envy of all the hoys; for
he was the best base-ball player
in school. But he had a quick
temper, and it was very easy for
him to get into a fight when he
was angry. Some of the boys
hinted that he didn’t try to control
his temper, because he knew he
Avas the best tighter in school.
li I He always manages to keep
cool when Frank is around
said Big Tom. fi i Frank is his
match; so wo’ll never see that
fight,” ’ he added, sueeringly.
“But it looked as if Ave should
see it now. Frank stood in the
catcher’s position, his black, curly
hair thrown back from llis fore¬
head, his fair face looking al¬
most white as he tried to control
himself. Joe, slinging his bat
away, came towards him, Avalking
on tiptoe and slightly sideways,
with his fists doubled up. We
knew what avhs coming next.
Everybody had run in as soon as
we sUav there Avas going to bo a
fight. But w hat! Frank a coward!
Not going to fight! There he stood
with his hands by his side, saying
as Joe rushod at him, ‘I never
called a bey a li—.’ But Joe had
struck him a bloAV in the face that
sent him reeling past some of the
little boys that had gotton there.
Frank recovered himsolf in time
to take another blow, then another
and Another, saying merely, ‘I did
not call you a liar.’
“ ‘Shame to hit a follow that
won’t hit back,’ cried some of the
big boys, and they caught Joe’s
arm, and held him struggling.
“And there stood Frank, his
face all bruised and bleeding, a
sight I shall never forget.
tt I Why on earth didn’t you fight
him? You are his match, any day.’
U < No, I am trying to be a Chris¬
tian/ *eplied Frank: ‘and I don’t
think it’s right to fight.’
(4 I You are a fool, that's Avliat
you are!’ said Big Tom. ‘Are you
going to let your face be battered
up in that way by every bully
that comes along?’
u t I can’t help that; but I have
made up my mind never to strike
back so long as I live.’
**That evening, in Frank's room
you might have seen a sight that
none of us would have thought
possible,—Joe kneeling to Frank,
begging pardon for what he had
done.
■* ‘Why, Joe! Get up this instant!
Of course, it’s all right between
us.’ 1
“And Frank lifted Joe up.
they shook hands, Joe said:
«< < But can I ever forgive myself
for striking you as I did?’
“‘Joe is conquered for once,”
said one of the boys, at supper.
“ ‘I always said Frank was his
match/ replied Big Tom; but I
didn’t think he was going to take
that way to conquer him.’
“Boys, do you think Frank was
a coward and a milk-sop? Why,
we thought him the bravest fel¬
low in school!
“Joe never struck a boy after
that. And, what’s more, it came
to be considered a disgrace to get
into a fight. And all because
Prank believed in taking the
words of the Saviour literally:
‘Whomsoever shall smite thee on
thy right cheek, turn to him the
other, also.’ ”—Ex.
HE WAS HERE.
A gentleman from Conyes, who
was in Atlanta October 20tli, con¬
sidered his presence in the city a
matter of public interest.
He thought that future ages
would be glad to have some un¬
doubted proof that he had been
here which could be exhibited,
and which would be beyond ques¬
tion. In order to grant the favor
which the city officials had not
dared solicit, the gentleman from
Conyers sought some conspicious
place where he could affix his
valuable signature. He found
such a place on the Avail of the
third story of the new capitol,
and there on the otherwise un¬
defaced surface he wrote his name.
Everybody can see it and some
unenlightened people who don’t
know what a gr eat man the name
belongs to frequently make re¬
marks that Avould not, if he heard
them, tend to elevate him in his
own estimation. Mr. Allen will
in future present all visitors to
the capitol who wish to prove
their ability to Avrite Avitli slips of
paper.—Constitution.

pany of ladies in the party. To
the first gentleman he introduced
seven of the ladies as his wife.
The second Avas even more em¬
barrassed than the first. In one
hand he held his hat, and in the
other his umbrella. He had a
cigar in his mouth, and as both
hands were occupied he did not

he reached up and placed the
lighted cigar behind his ear. The

HONOR TO WOMEN.
The sacred books of India con¬
tain the following praiseworthy
maxims:
“He who despises Avornen de
spises liis oavh mother.” “Wlio
is cursed by women is cursed by
God - ” “The tears of Avomen call
down the fire of heaven on those
avIio make them flow.” “Evil to
him avIio laughs at women's suf¬
ferings; God shall laugh at his
.prayers.” “It Avas at the prayer
of a Avoman that the Creator par¬
doned man. Cursed be he avIio
forgets it.” “There is no crime
more odious than to persecute a
woman.” “When Avomen are
honored the divinities are content;
but Avlien they are not honored all
undertakings fail.” “The house¬
holds cursed by Avomen to whom
they have not rendered the hom¬
age due to them, find themselves
weighed down Avith ruin and des¬
troyed as if they had been struck
by some secret power.” “It is
time to appreciate all things at
their true value. ”
THE BEST ADVERTISING.
The most efficient advertising in
behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla is
that Avhicli comes from the medi¬
cine itself. That is those avIio are
cured by it, speak to friends suf¬
fering similarly, who in turn de¬
rive benefit and urge others to
try this successful medicine.
Thus the circle of its popularity is
rapidly widening from this cause
alone, and more and more are
becoming enthusiastic in behalf of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla absolute as it actually
demonstrates its merit.
All that is asked for Hood’s Sar¬
trial. saparilla If is that need it be given a blood fair

Here is an absolute and eternal
truth, from the pen of John Mason:
“There is no sin a man can be
tempted to but he Avillfind great¬
er comfort in resisting than in-,
dulging in it.” Do not let Satan
ever persuade you to doubt this
truth for a moment. There are
no exceptions to it; there can be
none. For as Senaca said, “The
first and chiefest pnsishment of
the Avicked is to have sinned. The
torment of wickedness is in the
Avickedness itself."
The consciousness of having a
remedy at hand for croup, pneu¬
monia, sore throat, and sudden
colds, is very consoling to a Ayer’s par¬
ent. With a bottle of
Cherry Pectoral in the house, one
feels, m such cases, a sense of se¬
curity nothing else can give.
The Wilson self-acting live es¬
cape lias been brought to Atlan¬
ta, as a sample, by Chief Joyner
of the fire department. It is
small, and can be carried in a
valise or in the hand. A small,
stout rope passes through it.
All one lias to do to use it is to
liang it to a window, pass one
end of the rope about his body
and jump out. He Avill be given
an easy and safe ride to the
ground. A strange thing about
the fire escape is that it moves
with the same rapidity, no matter
Iioav heavy or light the Aveight
attached to it.
The worst feature about catarrh
is its dangerous tendency to con¬
sumption. Hood's Sarsaparilla the
cures catarrh by purifying
blood.
“I Avish that I Avas a minister,”

“Why, dear?” “Because lie is the
