ONE DAY'S WORTH.
Slowly o’er you lovely mountain
Sinks the lurid sun.
Stealthily the shadows gather,
Telling us the day is done.
And as twilight shadows deepen.
As darkness shrouds the earth.
From our hearts there comes the ques
tion:
"What to us has been its worth?"
Have we, by an act of kindness.
Cheered another on his way?
Turned aside a night of sorrow.
Shed abroad the light of day?
Or. have we. by a word of harshness—
Thoughtless, though, perhaps it's been —
Helped to sink a fallen (brother
Deeper in the pit of sin?
Oh! let us leave bright lights to glimmer
Along the paths that we have trod,
There to guide some shipwrecked brother
Home to heaven, life and God.
GEORGIA V. HAYMAKER.
Armel, Va
A WiNNIE DAViS MEMORIAL.
There are few names so dear to south
ern hearts as that of Winnie Davis, the
daughter of tho beloved president of the
southern confederoinr. Jefferson Davis.
She was the only "dWighter of the con
federacy," and as such, southern women
love and honor her memory. The United
Daughters of the Confederacy have hon
ored this noble woman by erecting a last
ing monument to her memory—a memo
rial building connected with the State
Normal school of Georgia at Athens,
where, the daughters of confederate sol
diers may be educated. The Woman’s
Home Companion for October speaks in
the highest terms of the effort made by
... :thern women to accomplish this end
and among other things says:
The Winnie Davis memorial, to speak
strictly, is the -offering of the Georgia di
vision of tho United Daughters of tho
(Confederacy. Scarcely’ did this young
woman sleep beside her father and eight
een thousand southern soldiers in Holly
wood cemetery, Richmond, where tho
magnolia blossoms of Mississippi repose
side by side with hardy roses of Maine—
though born the daughter of the confed
eracy, July 27, 1864, she died the daugh
ter of a united country, September 18.
1898—than Georgia women inaugurated
the memorial fund. At the suggestion of
Mrs. lam. - A Ito msaviile, of Rome, Ga.,
president of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, which . ui-tioued Winnie
Davis oft-expressed desire to assist
southern -.1.1i-iren in at. educational way,
they unanimously d- tiled to make tho
memorial not a 'mute tongue of the gran
ite shaft,’ b-t a service to the daughters
of southern soldiers sflviitg for an edu
cation."
The United Di—'lit- -■! the Confeder
acy_have worked nob’y to build tills beau
tiful b aiding. knowing, us they did. tno
gnat desire Winnie Dm Is expressed to
assist In educating the confederate sol
diers’ children; a more suitable monu
ment < ’:Li not have been selected and
dedicated to her memory.
Athens Is the seat of the state univer
sity and several large and flourishing
schools, and is the educational center of
the state. It is fill- fl with handsome res
idences', many In tho old colonial style.
The Normal college and the Winnie Da
vis memorial hall is situated on quite
sn eminence and surrounded by beautiful
grounds. The hall has only recently been
finished, -and not yet furnished, neither
have the lights w.-en put in, but so urgent
was the need for dormitory rooms and
the young women were so eager to get
into the new building that tho morning
paper gives this telegram from Athens:
■'The new building i.s a perfect model
of beauty’ and convenience and the girls
were resolved to undergo any deprivation
as to comfort in order to get into It, so
they piled mattresses down on .tho floor
to take the place of bedsteads and for
■bureaus they’ have improvised boxes from
the dry goods stores in the city and have
covered them with dainty- cloth so as to
make them as attractive as possible. Tho
lights have not yet boon put into the hall,
but the girls are studying by tho light of
the old-time candle.
It is thought that the furniture will
soon be made. The arrangements for it
are being made by the Daughters of tho
Confederacy, and it will not be many
weeks until it arrives.’’
It will only -be a short time before the
United Daughters of the Confederacy will
have tho building in perfect order, and
’.n -y a happy girl win call them
’blessed."

begin to grow sooner than if planted
elsewhere. It is best to give plenty of
sunlight, although if the north side of a
dwelling is better in other respects, plant
the bulbs there. They may not be 'so
early in flowering, but perhaps this will
‘be an advantage.
No flowers are more beautiful than
lilies, and a portion of the garden should
be planted to them this fall. The sooner
they are started th.- better. Set most
of them 8 inches deep and at least a
foot apart. Surround each specimen with
sand or -powdered charcoal, to prevent de

mellow. If it is not quite porous, re
move it to a certain depth, and provide
drainage. Lilies will not be satisfactory

PLEASANT MEMORIES.
Little deeds of kindness,
Little acts of love,
Make this world an Eden
Like the heaven above.''
We teach the children this little verso,
but do we realize it ourselves? You may
be amused when I tell you what made
me think of this little verse. A few
nights ago the cool weather came upon
us rather suddenly all the blankets were
packed away, and 1 thought of my beau
tiful silk quilt, so out it came, and gave
me a comfortable night; but the real
pleasure came In the morning when I
lay awnko studying each square, and
wondering at the great variety of stitches
and all tho beautiful colors in the whole
make up. Each morning 1 find new
beauties, and wish the giver of earn
square could know how I prize and en
joy the gift. Then 1 think of the many
kind thoughts worked In those stitches,
one little square from each friend, and
yet what a ’beautiful combination when
united! And so 1 think each day as I
enjoy it that is Just so with life; it Is
the little deeds of kindness, the little
acts of love, small they may 'be to
each person, and yet to some one they
"make the world an Eden, like the heaven
above.” My life is made happy wen
day by some kind act.
A few evenings since I came home’
from a walk and found a dear, good wom
an had sent me “a little present,' she
said. I thought it was a very large one.
A jar of tig preserves, a jar of higden
pickle, a jar of onion pickle and two
glasses of beautiful jelly. A good angel
must have whispered to her that I had
not felt strong enough to put up a thing
this summer, and so this gift was doubly
appreciated—a little act of love.
Today I have been In my little yard
tying up my chrysanthemums (all doing
so well), sent by dear Miss Roxie Sheets
and others, and I looked around at niy
cape jessamines sent by other friends,
and my cosmos and morning glories sent
by others. 1 thought truly such "little
deeds of kindness” had made for me "an
Eden.”
Do we fully realize how much pleasure
wo can give by these little deeds? If so,
I am sure we would not let a day pass
without making some heart happy.
Many of you who read these lines have
made my life very happy by such acts
of love. They may seem small to yon,
but they grow large to me and call forth
my warmest appreciation. It does not
means gifts alen- . but the beautiful let
ters of encouragement, the expr-sslon
"you have done me so much good.” Then
again: "I always pray for you and
yours." These are worth to me more
than silver or gold, and I often wonder
with a heart full of gratitude, "what have
I ever done to deserve such love and
kindness?"
I love my work ami the women and
children of my kingdom, and when I ‘ go
hence to be no more” 1 want you to
know how 1 appreciated all your kind

So accustomed are we to seeing the
canary frrhind gilded bars, where we
may at will feast onr eyes upon their
graces of form and color and our ears
upon the mellifluence of their happy
song, nor do in most Instances vio
late any natural law In following this
course, forth" majority of these birds,
having knovn no other phase of exist
ence than th".t of captivity, have neither
regrets nor longing. Freedom. Indeed,
to them would mean suffering and
death: for not only would they be tit
terly Incapable of supplying their own
needs, but they would inevitably be
come. the prey of othar and hardier den
izens of the air. Thus, provided they
are well housed well fed and gener
ously supplied with light, air and
warmth, their cage life Is by far the
happiest they could possibly know. It
may be set down .as a general inflexible
rule that till pels, whether birds or ani
mals. require intelligent and systematic
care. To fuss over them today and neg
lect them tomorrow is not only inimical
to their health, but also to their temper
and spirits. Feed them at a regular
hour every morning. As for tho fool
and water receptacles, they should 'n

must be kept perfectly free from Im

It is very tnteresting to note that dur
ing the thirteen days which the mother
bird devotes to incubating her pretty,
delicately tinted eggs, her sympathetic
mate perches himself in close proximity
to the nest and whiles away the hours
with his most thrilling love songs. Nor
do his attentions cease when the young
birds appear, for he shares with the
mother the duty of caring for his chil-
THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.
Nearly everybody knows that charcoal
is tlio safest ami most eflieiont dislnfe.-t
--ent and purifier in nature, but few real
ize its value when taken into the human
system for the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is ia remedy that the more you
take of it tile Petter; it is not a drug .'it
all, but simply absorbs the gases and im
purities always present, in the stomach
and intestines and carries them out of
the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and improves
the complexion, it whitens the teeth and
further acts as u natural and emmentiy
safe cathartic.
It absorbs the Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it dis
infects tile mouth and throat from tne
poison of catarrh.
Al), druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is in
Stuart’s Absorbent Lozenges; they are
composed of the finest powdered Wmow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather in the form of
large, pleasant tasting lozenges, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition of
the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath ami purer blood, and the
beauty of It Is. that no possible harm can
result from their continued use. but on
the contrary, groat benefit.
A Buffalo physician In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "I advise Stu
art’s Absorbent Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas in the stomach and
bowels, nnd to clear tho complexion and
purify tho breath, mouth and throat; I
also believe tho liver is greatlv bene
fited by the dally use of thorn: they cost
but twenty-five cents a box at drug
stores, and although In some sense a pat
ent preparation, yet I believe T get more
nnd hotter charcoal In Stuart's Absorbent
T.oznnges than In any of the ordinary
charcoal tablets.”
dren. If her male partner is taken from
her while silling she finds herself for
saken and calls forlornly all day long
and when her young are hatched and
begin to sing, for weeks they have the
same forlorn notes. Mate in February.
A productive bird lays from four to six
times up to July. 1 have raised as many
as six in one nest. Think the japanned
cage’ better or more healthful than brass.
Toy bells cost only 5 cents and amuse
the bird very much. It is nice to have
canary nest eggs to use, as we remove
the eggs, until four are laid, or she stops
laying. Then give all eggs at once, so
they will hatch together. Nest eggs
cost 15 cents each.
Wishing the bird lovers success, but
do not ask me to call again soon, for
fear Aunt Susie might frown.

Huston Finley, who left the faculty of
Princeton to accept the presidency of the
College of the City of New York, was to
day installed in that office, a notable
gathering of college presidents and other
men of prominence participating in the
installation ceremony. Seventy universi
ties and colleges were represented and
Governor Odell. Senator Depew, Grover
Cleveland and Presidents Hadley, of Yale;
Sehurmann, of Corneil, and Butler, of
Columbia, delivered addresses.
A letter of congratulation from Presi
dent Roosevelt was read, in which the
president said:
"Nothing is more distinctive of our
American republic than the peculiar fos
tering care which, through their represen
tatives, tho people have assumed over tho
education of all the citizens in primary
matters and of all those who care to go
beyond primary matters in those ad
ditional branches necessary as prerequi
sites for tho attainment of leadership In
the great professions. In all this our
people nave surely been very wise.
"Education as given in the schools ami
colleges cannot of itself fit us for good
citizenship. But the lack of it would
assuredly render us unfit. Next to the
home it Is the school, the college, the
university, which do most to determine
the efficiency of the individual as a citi
zen.”
Mr. Cleveland in his address said:
"1 cannot rid myself at this moment of
the thought that education is a selfish,
useless thing If it is to be hid in a napkin,
or if it is to be hugged to the breast by
its possessor as a mere individual prize,
and it seems to me that the- existence of
schools and colleges in this land of ours
can scarcely be deemed Important except
as they are the sources from which edu
cation may be distributed through many
channels, for the enrichment of the body
politic, and the stimulation of patriotic
thoughtfulness among our people.
“If we have outgrown the simplicity -f
our early national life; If, with the
growth of abnormal enterprises and :<
mad struggle for wealth, a constant and
acute solicitation for tho country's
wealth has been somewhat subordinate;
and if in our social and business life, we
can see signs of a cleavage that may
divide our people into distinct and un
sympath tie clashes, wo should be watch
ful. If with these things we also dis
cover a movement toward a more gen
eral collegiate education, we ought to re
gard it as another i.nf i vor.ib.e symptom.
If increasing learning Is to l.e made only
a more ori'anu’iilal n.-eoHipardmeut to tho
unwholesome and pitiable ostentation ol
riches and pride.
"I; should be the prayer ol every patri
otic citizen that Americai education nay
never be so degraded; that It may alwa -s
remain true to its mission, a steadying
force agamst all untoward conditions, ami
that In ’h" denioc. : acy of education our
people mav ever be gulhcie.l togeth r
under the sanction of enlightened and
strong American citizenship.”

The Dead.
ROBERT L. JOHNSON, superintendent
of public works of the city of Columbus.
BRAD SMITH, a colored laborer in the
employ of the city.
A trench 3 feet wide and 12! 2 feet deep
had been dug from the new building to
the sewer out in the middle of the street,
so as to give the building sewer connec
tion. The sewer was to be tapped, and
Mr. Johnson went down Into the trench
to show Howard Davis, a negro laborer
in tho employ of tho city, where to <ut
into the sewer. Mr. Johnson had pointed
out the place and was about to go out
of the trench when the cave-in started.
The negro shouted, "Look out, Mr. John
son!" and began running down the trench,
jumping above the dirt as it fell. At
one time dirt was up to his knees, but
by a mighty effort he jumped out of it
and Anally scrambled to the top, unhurt
Mr. Johnson ran live or six feet, when
he was caught by the dirt and was buried
to his waist. Assistant City Engineer
\V. B. Clay, standing on the bank above
him, shouted: “Throw up your hands to
protect your face." Mr. Johnson threw
his hand, which still clutched his note
book, before his face to protect him.
“For God’s sake, men. jump in and
save him!” shouted Clay, and a half
dozen negro laborers sprang in and began

thrown out only a few shovelfuls of dirt
wh"n there was second cave-ln, which
covered Mr. Johnson completely and most
of the negroes who were trying to effect
his rescue. Another crowd sprang in to
dig the negroes out. One negro was cov

Seven Ages of Graft.
Alt the world is graft.
I And al] the men and women merely
They'" have their sura things and their
bunco games.
And one man in his time works many
grarts.
His bluffs being seven ages. At first the
infant
Conning his dad until he walks tho floor;
And then the whining school boy, poring
o’er his hook.
Jollying hi- teacher into marking him
A goodlv grade. And then th" lover.
Making ea a maiden think that sh>-
Is but the only one. And tl. u the soldier,
Full of strange words and bearded like
a paid.
Socking th- l.'ibble reputation.
Even In the magazines. And then the
justice,
Handing out the bull -on to th- benen
And jollying the jury till it thinks
He knows it all. The sixth ago shifts
To lean and slippered pantaloon,
I With spectacles on nose—his is a graft!
i For h- Is then tho Old Inhabitant
I And all must hoar him talk. Last scene
of all.
That ends this strange, eventful hlstor”,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion.
Sans graft, sans pull, sans cinch, suns
everything.
