A SORRY EPOCH Alas, alas! O fatal day, when Teddy Roosevelt's “went," When he has given up the job of being president— When he takes to the simple life, what will this nation do? For everything will simmer with a crust upon the stew. Who then will smite the octopus and smite him hip and thigh? Who then will bust the burly trust right squarely In the eve? Who then will sit on Harrlman and soak him with a club? Who then will add new members to the Ananias Club? Alas! who'll keep the turmoil up when he has ducked the crown? Who'l) hand a punch to Mr. Long and call Jack London down? Who will there be to bring on peace when nations start a riot? Who will there be to start a light when everything is quiet? Alas, alasl O fatal day—when Teddy Roosevelt's "went,” When he has given up the job of being president. —-Grantland Rice Is The Nashville Tennessean. UNCLE SAM'S EMPLOYEES MUSI NOl WASTE TWINE Uncle Sam Is getting economical. No, dear reader, he Is not reducing the number of battleships to be built nor the amount of money to be paid the beef trust for soldiers’ grub. Nothing like that. He has Issued orders for his postal employees to be careful In using up jute twine In tying packages of letters! Maybe the jute trust has put on the screws and raised the price, or maybe the postofflce employees have been us ing enough In tying up letters to hong all the undesirable citizens bothering President Roosevelt. But, no matter what the cause, the orders for econ'omy have been Issued. and there can't be any mistake about them, for they are signed by Q. L. Meyer, the postmaster-general. This order is known as No. 386, and by it all employees in the postal sendee are directed to exeivlse the greatest economy in the use of Jute twine In ty ing up letters. They are told to use only enough to make the package se cure, and the employees at the other end who receive the packages are or dered to take care of the twine so that it may be used again. Another order—No. 387—follows the twine economy order, and appoint* Richard P. Covert, superintendent di vision of supplies; Samuel M. Gaines, division superintendent railway mail service, and Assistant Postmaster Ed ward W. Baker, of Baltimore, committee to Journey, search and dls cover some substitute for twine to be used in tying letters. In the meantime employees must practice economy.

MAN SHALL NOT LIVE BY STOCKS AND BONDS ALONE New York, June S.—Pointing out the reward, of thoie who are, a, foretold In Matthew, to “•It on throne, judg ing generation, and age, that are yet to come,” the Rev. C. F. Aked, In the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, declared that “man shall not live by stock, and bond, alone.” John D. Rockefeller attended the services; so did John R. Hegeman, president of the Metropolitan Life In surance Company, with Mr,. Hegeman. Ur. Aked told of Catherine Presh- kovsky, a Russian girl of noble parent age. who etarted a school for children In Russia a few years ago and was put In prison, kept there for two years, tried and sent to Siberia to eervo four year* at hard labor and remain there for the remainder of her life. This girl managed to escape from the tortures of her place of exile only to be recap tured and sentenced to serve six years CHILDREN SHOWED IT Effsct of Their Warm Drink In the Morning. "A year ago I was a wreck from cof fee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position In the school room because of nervousness. "I was telling a friend about It and she said, 'U’c drink nothing at meal time but Postum Food Coffee, and It i» such a comfort to hove something we run enjoy drinking with the children.' "I was astonlshe.1 that she would al low the children to drink any kind of cofree, but she said Postum was the most healthful drink In the world for children as well aa for older ones, and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be a fact. "My tlrst trial was a failure. The cook boiled It four or five minutes and It tasted so flat that 1 was In despair, hut determined to give It one more trial. This time we followed the direc tions and boiled it fifteen minutes after the boiling began. It was a decided success and I was completely won by Its rich delicious flavor. In a short time I noticed a decided Improvement in my condition and kept growing bet ter and better month after month, until now I am perfectly healthy, and do my work In the school room with ease and pleasure. 1 would not return to the nerve-destroying regular cofTee for any money.” “There’s a Reason.” Read the fa mous little "Health Classic,” “The Road to WellvIIle,” in pkgs. at hard labor and live a life of torment in Siberia. "This same Catherine Preshkovsky, said Dr. Aked, 'is now In this country, preaching liberty for the Russians. The standard of heroic and self-sacrlflclng life has been raised and raised by wom en. "Don’t be afraid of comparing small things with great. Be proud of doing It, for we are one of them. We are one with the Russians, fighting for lib erty: one with the men who stormed tho Bastlle; one with your own abo litionists, with Lloyd Garrison, Wen dell Phillips and one with John Brown, whose soul goes marching on. We are one with the light brlngers of every na tion. We are one wljh Him who died on the cross.” OLD GLORY WAVES FROM TALL SPIRE The waving folds of the "Star Span gled Banner," as It floats majestically In the breexes from thf towering spire of Trinity church, on Whitehall street. Is attracting the attention of all who pass that way. Many there are who think the flag was placed on Its lofty height In cele bration of Jefferson Davis’ birthday, and any number of other reasons, equally as wide of the mark, are sug gested. But It Is merely the whim of the steeple jack who Is repairing the spire of the church, and who carried the flag up with him and placed It In position just to show that the thing can be done. The Trinity church steeple Is one, of the highest points In Atlanta, and many have remarked the nerve of the gravi ty-defying steeple climber who scaled Its dlxsy height to "place the stars of glory there." COFFEE MERCHANT DROPPED DEAD Charlotte, N. C., June 3.—P. M. West- feldt, member of the prominent New Orleans coffee Arm of Westfeldt Bros., dropped dead at Asheville yesterday morning.

C„ where he spent much of hfs time, fell to the floor and died Instantly. He owns Interests in this state estimated to be worth a million dollars. MAN IS LEFT TO DIE Fifth Victim of Hold-Ups in Birmingham District in Hospital. Birmingham, Ala., June 3.—Unable to speak, his neck broken from the result of a fearful blow from behind, James P. Mosley, a farmer, lies at the hos- pltal with one chance In a thousand for his life. The almost lifeless body was found In the suburbs yesterday. His pockets were rifled of all valuablee. Mosley was on his way home when he was attacked by highwaymen, ac cording to the theory of the police, who say that a bold set of men are oper ating. using some mysterious means of creeping upon their victim and deal ing a blow with a powerful weapon which, although not breaking the ekln, leaves a tiny crimson mark on the back of the neck. Mosley Is the fifth victim, two of whom died with broken necks. Bob bery has been the aim of the hold-ups. People of the outlying districts are ter rorized |n eome localities. “The men with the gum shoes," as the highway men are now called, have baffled the efTorts of the police and not a single clew has been left to work on. None of the victims has ever been able to tell how or when they were hit and the previous two died without regaining consciousness. IENT HAGUE CONFERENCE IS TO BE eon NEXT Diplomatic Fencing and An imated Discussion Expected. FLY WHEEL BREAKS, KILLINGJNE MAN Power House Wrecked and Assistant Badly Scalded by Steam.

AGENCY GOES TO RECEIVER Washington, June 3.—The Argentine proposal which Is to be laid before the approaching second Hague con ference, looking to the holding of a third International conference In Bue nos Ayres In 1910, will. It le expected, result In bringing the second confer ence abruptly face to face with the American proposition to give confer ence permanently and provide for peri odic gatherings. The subject of permanency. Indeed, may be broached at an earlier stage In the proceedings. Ip that event there h certain to be some clever diplomatic fencing and more or less animated dls. cueslon. The proposition to limit International armaments, which came near causing the abandonment of the second confer ence, even after all of the Invitations had been accepted, wns a delicate mat ter. It may reasonably be expected that the whole subject of creating a permanent conference will come under consideration. STATE ORGANIZATION OF ALL EIRE EIGHTERS James D. McNeill, of Fayetteville, N. C., president of the National Fire men's Association, and of the North Carolina Firemen's Association, has written a communication In which he sets out the alms of the national or ganization and urgez the flremen of Georgia to form an association. President McNeill reviews the good work done In his own state In reducing the Are loss by the association of fire men all over the state, both paid and volunteer. He emphasizes the fact that state ttremen's associations are not antagonistic to Insurance Interests, but on the contrary are the best friends these Interests have. In addi tion to protecting business Interests from loss and promoting the efficiency of the Are lighting service, President McNeill points out that these associa tions protect the Interests of the flre men and provide for him or his family in case of disability of death. A state association for Georgia had a preliminary* organization on May 16 at the meeting In Cedartown of several representative chiefs and flremen, and It Is probable that the organization will be puzhed to completion.
