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 \A/o Do No*t Deoeivo th© Sick.

Reynolds & 00., 5101-2 AUSTELL BUILDING, ATLANTA, GA. 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. MONTGOMERY. INQUIRERS’ CORNER. Mrs. TC. AT.

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 THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY, JUDY 20, 1903. 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. EXCHANGELIST.

Wish I had tlie gift of telling of tlie beautiful scenery as viewed on a recent trip to New Orleans.

Tlie flowers were the love liest it has ever been my pleasure to see, large and handsome palms growing in open ground seemed to thrive in that soil and climate without any attention. Fear I broke one of commandments and coveted just one fine specimen to be In my yard Just as they grew there. But, alas, they will not. Such largo magno lia trees in full bud almost outrivaled the rose In beauty. Oleanders, cape jessa mines filled the air witli their delicious fragrance. The air, bracing and invig orating. was a “Rest Cure” to me and a trip to be always pleasantly remembered.

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.

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 have made more per day than that, but 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 tile job and this we divided equally. "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 In ft revere and respect goodness and greatness far above the selfishness of (lenomination.'ilism a good deal more 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. First that of John H. Chapman, presi dent of the union. Mr. Chapman is to all appearances a business man. just the • kind you would expect to meet any time | hurrying al mg State or Dearborn street In his home city of Chicago. Tall he Is to the commanding point and well pro portioned, but probably on account of tho Ignorance of the Passing Throng Man ho was much in the way of a surprise.

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 fully Intermingled for the one who Is 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.

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. Death of Mrs. Janies G. Blaine. Augusta, Me., July 15. —Mrs. James G.

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.
