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."

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 ness AUNT SUSIE. EXCHANGE LIST. Mrs J. M.

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 every Instance boos china or glass and must be kept perfectly free from Im purity.

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.

STRUGGLE TO GAIN RICHES. Decried by Cleveland in an Address in New York. New York, September 29.—Dr. John 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.” A Notre Dame Lady.

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."

They had 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 ered up to his neck. Another cave-in was threatened, and it looked us if the second crowd of rescuers would be burled also. The negroes were pulled out, one by one. One was completely covered, but revived.

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. —Chicago Tribune.
