JUST TELL THEM SO.
Them’s much to do the wholo way
through.
And little use complaining.
For the darkest night will change to light
And the blackest cloud quit raining.
If wroth you find in weak mankind,
’Twill do all good to know
That some one thought they nobly
wrought.
And frankly told them so.
Enough will remain of bitter pain,
With all the aid you lend;
Some will be sad and others glad.
On down to the journey's end.
As in the throng you pass along,
With rapid strides or slow.
If vir«.e you see in bond or free,
Just stop and toll them so.
There are many cares in home affairs
That wear the brain and heart,
An' many away. ‘most every day.
In which to boar a part.
If you love your wife as you do your
life.
It will keep her heart aglow.
And make her feel your love is real,
To often tell - her so.
If on the road you see a load.
Some pilgrim downward pressing,
A willing hand to help him stand
Will bring you back a blessing.
So in the fight 'twixt wrong and right.
That's waging here below.
Should praise be said, don't wait till dead,
Before you tell them so.
THE OTHER SIDE.
The old saying “there are two sides to
a question" was vtjry forcibly brought to
my notice not long since while listening
to a conversation on the subject of the
chicken industry and as our columns
have been at the disposal of those who
have known only It Is but fair
to give "the other side."
The country is certainly the place to
go to learn about chickens, cow -, butter,
etc. From a recent visit to the coun
try I returned, having barnod much use
ful and practical knowledge, ami also
firmly impressed witli the fact that peo
ple who live in the country are the
smartest and most useful people on earth.
What they know can lie put to use, and
their knowledge, gained from coming in
constant contact with nature, and (rod's
creatur< s, is of a practical character ami
serves to make life's work a success.
One warm morning several friends came
in to call—as wo gathered around a talc
filled with luscious fruit (poaches, tigs
and apples)—we discussed both fruit and
things in general, and among other things
.hi -ken culture. Each lady had tin ex
perience and while somewhat different,
all were on “the other side" from sne-
’ Did you ever hear of a .worse year
for chickens'.”' said one "I have had
the wor<e luck I ever had, if the negroes
don't steal them the hogs and dogs eat
■ hem.”
"Yes," said another, "my luck has
aeen the same. Hard to get eggs enough
to set my hens, and then think of it, 1
had a mink eat fourteen frying-size
chickens in one night." *1 ids seemed
dreadful enough, but the next experience
took the breath away "I have tak n off
wo hundred and fifty chickens and 1
haven't got fifty left."
"Well,” said the next speaker, "I have
taken off a hundred and have only forty
left." Still another: "1 had a lieu come
- ff with twenty beautiful little chicks,
they were doing well when one day I
told the cook to make her bread as. usual
and feed then. Immeorately almost after
eating, nineteen laid down and died. Site
must have put salt or something in the
bread, though she protested it was made
the same way but my chicks were dead.”
Now spoke up the lady who wrote to
these columns about her paralyzed hen.
Her enemy had been a cat, and eleven
chicks of one hen disappeared before
she discovered the cause, but her luck
had been just the same as the others,
from a large setting sent by Miss Roxie
Shvets she had raised only five chicks.
These she was watching as carefully as
she did her baby. She hopes to raise
them.
As many of our readers were kind
enough to write her in regard to the
paralyzed hen, t»iey will bo glad to know
it has entirely recovered.
The party present was greatly amused
at the treatment. We leave it to our
readers to judge if it was not sufficient
either to kill, or cure. The poor hen
became so crippled that it was walking
only on its thighs and she though - It
would be obliged to die, but she was
faithful in her treatment. First she gave
the proverbial dose given in tlie country
for man and beast —calomel; then a teas
spoonful of castor oil; then a little gum
camphor; then she tried massaging legs
with alcohol and 10, her hen is well.
The experience that seemed the saddest
to me, was given by a young lady, when
she said, “Well, I have only tasted fried
chicken once this year and then bought
the chicken. We live in the country, but
have not been able to get eggs or chick
ens for love or money."
Think of living in the country and not
having plenty of chickens or eggs! I
think you will agree w - ith me that there
are “two sides to a question."
But we will turn now to a brighter
outlook, and one which any woman can
make pin money out of. Tho young lady
present then gave us her experience in
dairying.
She attended entirely to the dairy. They
milked nineteen cows, had three milkers
and a cream separator. She furnished
one firm in Atlanta with 56 pounds of but
ter a week, and another with 20 or 30;
got 20 cents a pound, the buyer paying
expenses.
She wanted this year to go Into the
canning business, discussed the danger
of sallyciiic acid and the efficacy of the
lee water system. She told us how to
keep cabbage for winter, when they w'ere
well headed. Cut the cabbage, dig a hole
and put head down and cover with dirt,
only leaving tho stalk out; also a good

plan for putting out winter cabbage;
have the plants ready, and whenever you
take out a summer cabbage to eat, put
in a plant in the very same hole. Many
other good points did she give us on
making wine, etc. She was up on all sub
jects pertaining to farm life, and while
i listened to her very sensible conversa
tion. I could but think there must be a
very queer set of young fellows in that
neighborhood that would let such a girl
stay single, and yet I think as smart
a girl as that is better off not married;
she can get on and have her o’" inde
pendence and be her own mistress, but
such a woman is a jewel, nd matter in
what position you place her.
There is a rest and peaceful enjoyment
from a sunburn in tho country that noth
ing else can give and I often wonder
why people who leave their homes for
rest should select springs and large hotels
where there is a. crowd of pleasure seek
ers, instead of some quiet, cool country
home.
Here on the hills God feeds His herds,
His flocks on yonder plains;
His praise Is warbled by the birds—
Oh, could we catch their strain!
In every stream His bounty flows,
Diffusing Joy and wealth:
Tn every breeze His spirit blows
The breath of life and health.

A LETTER FROM JAPAN.
Many of our readers will rejoice to
hear that our friend and missionary. Miss
Lizzie Thomas, is on her way home after
five years’ absence in Japan for a much
needed rest. When you read this she
will be on the ocean and we must follow
her with our prayers and ask for her a
safe return to the mother and sister who
so anxiously await her. .Miss Thomas has
been a faithful worker in the Master's
vineyard and in a letter just received
from her from Tadotsu, Japan, she has
this to say in reference to leaving her
work:
"1 believe if you could see bow much
wyrk is here you'd be tempted to advise
me to stay here. Every day I see new
doors to enter and I cannot help them at
ail. I have one class of girls—the flower
of these homes—who are deeply Interested
in Christianity. I feel sure that God
would give me some of them, if not every
one, if I could teach them even six
months. I know God can open another
way to His courts. But so far there is

no other. I commit them to Him, and in
the hereafter, if I never see them here, I
hope to meet them among the redeemed.
“Last night I had a long consultation
with tlie Epworth League, tonight a class
meeting, tomorrow night the regular
woman's meeting.
“I teach ten girls who attend tho high
school in the next town and go there to
morrow afternoon to have a picture taken
with them. They come to my house twice
a week and every Sunday go to church.
Like lambs without a shepherd they soon
will be!"
Truly this faithful worker needs a rest,
and we will give her a cordial welcome
to her own country and her own people.

THE BEST REASON
FOR BELIEF IN DJI. WILLIAMS’ PINK
PILLS FOR PALE PEOPLE.
Mrs. Gosney Tells Mby She Has Such
Great Confidence* in this
Famous Remedy.
"For tho best, reason in the world,” an
swered Mrs. J. O. Gosney, of Pullman,
Wash., when asked why she praised Dr.
Williams’ Pink Fills so highly.
“They cured me after three doctors and
all sorts of remedies had failed." she con
tinued. “I suffered horribly with what tho
doctors called neuralgia of the stomach,
and I also was troubled to an unusual
extent with the ills which only women
experience. Every month I had cramps
which nearly drove me wild and they
were so bad sometimes that my husband
had to run for a doctor to give me some
thing to relieve me. Often they would
keep me in bed for days at a time ami,
Just before I began taking Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills for Pule People, my hands used
to get numb when I had these spells. I
can’t tell half of what I went through.
The natural functions of my sex ceased
and the spells of cramps kept growing
more frequent. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
helped mo the first week I took them and
after taking them faithfully awhile longer
I became entirely cured.”
Thousands of women have found relief
from their sufferings in the same way that
Mrs. Gosney did. No discovery of modern
times has proved such a. blessing to
women as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for
Pale People. Acting directly on the blood
and nerves, invigorating the body, regu
lating the functions, they restore the
strength and health In the exhausted pa
tient when every effort of the physician
proves unavailing. They have been
shown to be a positive and unfailing spe
cific for all diseases arising from disor

THE PASSING THRONG.
Charles M. Reaves, of St. Louis, sec
retary of the committee on legislation of
tho Louisiana purchase exposition,
reached Atlanta. Wednesday. He comes
to look over tho situation hero and to
report upon the probability of an ap
propriation by the state legislature for
a Georgia exhibit at the exposition. In
cldently ho will doubtless talk witli mem
bers of botii houses. He was yesterday
in conference with State Geologist
Yeates, and while at the capital looked
over the exhibits there of Georgia's re
sources.
"It seems to me that it would be a
terrible thing for Georgia not to be repre
sented at our exposition,” said Mr.
Reeves, in speaking of the matter - . “The
state possesses some wonderful resources
and tlie opportunity to show them to the
world is an excellent one. Georgia and
Florida are the only two southern states
that have not already taken steps to be
represented at the exposition, and the be
lief is strung in St. Louis that Georgia
will bo represented by a line exhibit.
"Georgia. Ls a great state, and Atlanta
is a great city. The town has shown a
marvelous gruw'th, and 1 was surprised
when I stepped from the train the other
mornlug. 1 have heard a great deal of
the 'Atlanta spirit,’ but I had no idea
that it had developed such a cosmopoli
tan and metropolitan city in the heart
of tlie south. It is truly wonderful."
A well known short-hand reporter was
discussing the opportunities to make
money presented by ids business. He
said:
“Not many people know that two
stenographers got siw,ooo for reporting the
proceedings of the Pennsylvania coal
strike arbitration proceedings, but that
is just what tlie job was worth, and it
only took two men to do the shorthand
work. They employed, however, several
typewriters.
“1 remember a convention which was
held in Atlanta several years ago at
which I enjoyed my work very much
and during which I made S2O a day. 1

till) way we had tlie work systematized
made it especially pleasant. There were
five of us stenographers on the job ami
we divided tlie work up into ’takes’ of
fifteen minutes each, which left each one
an hour to transcribe his notes and did
not rush us at all. We got a day for

"There is one peculiar thing about court
reporting or convention work. You can
not find any particular line of work tliat
helps you to any great extent in fitting
you for these jobs. A person simply has
to jump in and do them and while office
work helps some, the principal thing de
manded of tlie beginner in these heavier
lines is determination and a feeling of re
sponsibility."
Here is a little advertisement that ap
peared in Tho London Times not long
ago. it is reproduced word for word:
“A young Polisli lady who is desirous of
cultiiatifig her musical talents begs the
assistance of kind friends to enable her
to procure a piano which her parents can
rot afford to purchase. Address
“Jadwiga Janina Bogus Tawska.
“Piotokow Trybunalskl,
“Ulica Moskiewska dom Dolinsklogo,
“Poland."
When one thinks of all that poor Miss
Jadwiga, etc., etc., must have suffered
at tlie christening, it does seem as
though some good Atlantan ought to
hurry a piano Poiandward Immediately.
Tho Passing Throng man has for the
last two days been thrown with a very
large variety of people, including rail
road men, insurance men, professional
men, business m< - n and those unfortu
nates who are confined in the federal
prison. Upon his appearance in almost
every office or Institution he was imme
diately asked if he knew anything about
the condition of his holiness, the pope.
And this, too, from men of quite differ
ent religious persuasions from th" man
who is making so brave a struggle at
his home in the Vatican at Rome.
Among them were those who still follow
the teachings of Moses and the patri
archs of the Old Testament, but the so
licitous Inquiries were quite as earnest
from tlr'se as from those who look to
the pontificate of Leo NHI as the head
r f their own church. All of which prov. s
tht’.t Hits world and the people (hat live

than I .-cum firms nnp.m it In the heated
discussions of religious arguments.
Hundreds of years ago there was gath
ered together the most wonderful army
in history. Tn It were young people and
children and under the name of tl.o
“Crusaders:’’ tli< y marched to reclaim tlie
. Holy Land from the hands of the infidels
■ who possessed It.
I Toda - . - and for the last few days there
i has been marching to Atlanta, another
army of young people and even children,
' members of the Baptist Young People’s
I Union they are, Crusaders of this present
i twentieth century of modern times.
| But the contrasts between those who
I trolley two and three times a day to
Piedmont park and those who stumbled
and climbed the long hills of the old
world so long ago are very strong and
very marked. The broad sword and the
primitive weapons of war have given
way to Bibles and hymn books and the
coats of mall that proved to be far too
heavy burdens for tl# tender bodies of
those who marched toward Jerusalem
have been supplanted by shirtwaists and
the conventional garments of the busi
ness ami social world. White caps built
along nautical lines are the only distin
guishing features costume-wise that char
acterize these present soldiers of Chris
tianity and the oniy shields they carry
are satin and silk badges that mark the
city or state society to which they
belong.
Hut even if this present army that has
mobilized thousands strong is not one of
invasion, tbe fact remains that they have
descended upon Atlanta and claimed It
for their own. Apparently, too. every
Atlantan from Governor Terrell and
Mayor Howell to tlie newsboy crying
"extras" Is proud of the surrender.
Yet perhaps best of all among the many
contrasts are tlie happy, cheerful faces
of these rational young soldiers of the
present rather than the tear-stained, old
before-their-tlme faces of those unfor
tunate, misguided fanatics that composed
tlie rank and tile of those who long ago
chose as tluir war cry “God wills it.”
and marched under the banner of “In
Hoc Signo Vinces.' 1
Perhaps just one or two pictures taken
by the Passing Throng Man during the
services may prove interesting.

for his home. Certainly his every ap
pearance was many steps removed from
the man of the cloth and as other officers
were introduced, the amazement of the
reporter grew with each introduction.
For some reason he had expected to see
different looking men and different meth
ods in vogue. It requires much real
executive ability to handle conventions
where thousands ore assembled, but
everything passed off in as businesslike
away as that of some great political
convention and much more quietly. And i
It seemed almost incongruous to have I
such businesslike methods suddenly in- •
terruptecl with prayer or the singing of ;
hymns. Truly ‘ills present gathering of
the Baptist Young People’s Union Is a
wonderful combination of the sacred and
the secular; of the religious and the
businesslike.
Imagine If you will thousands of people
rising in their seats beneath a veritable
canopjy of multi-colored flags artistically
draped, waving their handkerchiefs In a
silent Chautauqua salute that gives tlie
appearance of a tidal wave of white or
the combing of some huge breaker as it
dashes itself Into a mass of spray fr orn
some long Journey on an Incoming tide.
And in every face of every waver the
happiest of expressions in which pride
and generous congratulation ere beauti

the object of this silent salute.
Another picture is that of one young
wearer of the jaunty white caps that
may be found well to the front in the !
great congregation. An earnest speaker |
is holding forth from the rostrum and j
this one is leaning forward in that un
mistakable attitude that proves that she
is living far away from the thousands
that aro all around her and is quite
alone in the world of which the speaker
Is talking. She is not pretty in the gen
eral acceptance of the term. Tlie con
tours of her face are neither classic nor
perfectly regular. But there is In her
intense expression and the scarcely per
ceptibly smile that drifts again and again
across her features a certain something
that holds your attention and makes you
look a second time. And witli the second
look you turn again and again to watch
this same expression, confident that you
cannot appear rude, for she is utterly ob
livious to all around her. And just as
you are about to be convinced that this
one is not like other girls you see another
and another and many more and finally
you are convinced that she Is just like
other girls—the other girls that are gath
ered together in the auditorium these
days, that Is.
The Verdict of the People.
The American people are broad-gauged
and liberal-minded. They are ready to
hear any remarks, listen to any song,
read any book, try anything new, and
they pass their verdict promptly and
infallibly. Anything that becomes pop
ular is good, and nothing can become
popular that is not good. The people
never make a mistake. Newspaper ad
vertising will induce the readers to try
anything that’s advertised —once. Merit
does the rest. A shining example of this
principle Is that of Cascarets, Candy
Cathartic, which in a very few years
have reached a sale of over a million
boxes a month.
VIRGINIA FARMER’S PROBLEM

James Pitzer, a successful farmer of

WOMAN FELL INTO FISSURE.
Has Most Wonderful Escape in the
Yosemite Valley.
Yosemite Valley, Cal.. July 14.—I5Trs.
Joseph Johns, of New Yprk city, who has
been staying In the valley for some time.
was found in a deep cravasse back of
Fissures, located some 2 miles from th’'
Sentina! Dome. Yesterday Mrs. Johns
started from Glacier Point to walk to
hotel. Last night Mrs. Johns did not
return, and a search was instituted this
morning. Far down one of the sides of
the Sontfnnl fissure, whose ereva&Se df\ps
in some places for thousands of feet, sus
pended on a ledge that jutted out from
the steep side of the narrow canon, the
form of Mrs. Johns ■was found try Mr. .
Potter, a hotel clerk. Mr. Potter was
forced to return to the hotel for help.
Provided with plenty of ropes and carry
ing a stretcher, a party of eight made
its way back to the crevasse. A physician
accompanied the relief party and will ren
der any assistance possible when Mrs.
John’s body has been rescued.
Mrs. Johns' rescue was effected after
a thrilling experience, and her escape
from a frightful death was nothing less
than miraculous. She had fallen a dis
tance of over three hundred feet from
the crevasse walls, and had partially
broken the descent by catching juniper
bushes ami shrub trees, through whose
branches she plunged. When the rope
had been lowered, Mr. Potter descended to
examine the ground and determine the
course to pursue In rescuing Mrs. Johns.
There, lodged upon a 2-foot ledge, with
her clothing torn to fragments and her
flesh scratched and bruised, lay Mrs.
Johns, weak from exhaustion and lack
of food and benumbed by the frosty chill
of the night. With difficulty the rope
was securely tied around Mrs. Johns’
waist ami an effort made to help her to
tho rim above. This attempt proved fu
tile, because of Mrs. Johns' weight. By
leaning over the abrupt precipice, Mr.
Potter could discern another and larger
ledge a hundred feet below, from which
iris another sheer drop of hundreds of
feet. lie determined to try this plan
of rescue. Giving the order to those |
above to lower the rope, Mr. Potter
swung the inanimate form of Mrs. Johns
off the tiny strip of rock upon which she
had braced herself for fifteen hours, into
tlie chasm beneath.
By swinging the rope to and fro, Mr.
Potter was able to lodge the body of
Mrs. Johns upon the larger ledge and
then descended himself. Palling to one
of the mountain guides above, Mr. Potter
had him drop the rope to the ledge upon
which all three were now resting. Then
the two picked up Mrs. Johns and to
gether they made their difficult way
around dangerous ledges and over yawn
ing precipices beneath, until finally worn
out. they reached the rim above once
more.
Mrs. Johns is suffering much from
nervous shock, but as no bones were
fractured it is believed she will recover.

HANDICRAFT HER SUBJECT
Mrs. Ida Hood Clark, of Nashville
Spoke at Athens.
Athens, Ga., July 14.—(Special.)—One of
the most interesting addresses yet deliv
ered before the student body of th.
L'nivers'.tv of Georgia Summer school now
in session In this city, was delivered by
Mrs. Ida Hood Clark, supervisor of manu
al training, Nashville city schools, at in
university chap- i this morning. The sub
ject was one of rare Interest, being
“Handicraft as Elementary Manual
Training.”
In part Mrs. ..ark said: "Handwork
has been and is the fundamental mean?
of physical development. The child u
born with body, muscles and brain pre
pared for physical exercise, and it is th.
highest duty of man to furnish each
human being with the condiii/fs <■: all
around seif-activity, for the development,
man is to use in his physical life. The
body, mind and soul of a little child
demands self-activity. Years of experi
ence in manual training have proved to
me beyond all doubt that children find
their greatest deiignt in that self-activity
which constructs and creates.
"The child enters Into tlie induo'al
commercial activity and the life of the
world through his hands and his brains.
The child cannot make an article of fur
niture without always being more or less
interested in furniture. Cooking reaches
much further than the mere skill to
produce palatable and digestible dishes.
Tlie materials used in cooking become
of Interest. The history of food which
is tlie inner history of the physical man
is thus opened to tlie child. Mere sew
ing is little, but the entrance of the child
into all that pertains to bodily covering
reaches back lo the beginning.
"Clay-modeling is the best ; issibb
ginning of an interest in art and its d -
velopment. Working in clay the eci'i
finds that art is open to him in the
best possible way through his I n: is
Here we may add the art of drawing act
painting. Nothing so Intensifies ill's re
so much as the endeavor to do a thing
yourself; nothing arouses attention arc 1
clears observation like handwork in all
the arts and crafts.
