FALLACY

to Claps
We occupy the position that the term j
“cheap,” as implied by pretending to
offer any article of goods for less than
its real value is, to deal mildly, mis
leading upon its face, and should be
shunned by sensible, thinking people, j
“No shoddy” is our motto for all the
term implies.
To those expecting something for
nothing we cannot supply your wants;
on the other hand, if you desirs full
value for your money you are the clasa
of custom we are hustling for.
Ml Sloes! Sloes!
We have the best shoes that money
and experience can produce.
Heywood shoes for men, every pair
warranted, “no shoddy,” $3.50.

Our “Cannon Ball” shoes for men

BILL ARPS’ LETTER
William Hal Heart Trouble aud
Thought His Tim i Had Comi-
TOOK MORPHINE, DEEMED DREAMS
In Hallucination Ho Quotes Jingling
Poetry—Says H*. Will Survive the
Wreck of Platter and tho Crash
of Worlds.
If anyone else Was concerned I
would not write this sick letter, but
it may benefit others who are similar
ly affected, I have been a very sick
man and hardly expected to see my
next birth u ay, but 1 have scuffled
through, and am now on the upgrade.
One of my far-away boys wired to
JVC to Work on my stomach and I
would get weil. He might as well
have wired: “Keep on living and you
will keep living on.”
No, it wasn't my stomach. It was
higher up, where the left ventricle of
the heart had got walled in and the
trouble was what the doctor calls the
angina pectoris, and my left arm was
helpless. For two days and nights I
suffered more real agony than I ever
suffered in all my r life. Our doctor boy
was here from Florida, and knew ex
actly what was the nfatter, and I took
all his medicine, but- got little relief,
and I was willing to die to get out of
pain. Finally he gave me morphine
in both arms and I went off to sleep
and rest. Those morphine dreams
and visions are always a miracle to
me. I thought that in his talk about
my trouble he called it angelina pec
toris, for I don’t hear well now, and
I got the refrain on my mind, that
pretty verse from Goldsmith’s “Her
mit.”
“Turn, Angelina-ever dear—
My charmer turn to see,
Thine own, thine long lost William
here,
Restored to heaven and thee.”
Ever and anon I could hear it rain
ing on the tin roof, but it didn't rain
a trop. All night long I was mumur
i'ag, “Turn, Angelina, dear.” I couldn’t
stop it, nor think cf anything else to
say, but I wasn’t restored—next day
I got some better, and as 1 hadn’t
taken any nourishment for three or
four days l craved something acid, and
like a foolish boy eat a small piece of
huckleberry pie for supper, which they
told me not to do. That set the dogs
to barking about midnight arid set
me oack just where I had been, and
the doctor’s work all had to be dene
over again. Emetics and hot baths
and hot water bags and more mor
phine finally brought relief. That
night after supper the young people
had the dining room table cleared off
and were playing that pretty little
childish game called ping pong or
ding dong or Hong ICong, or some out
landish name with its tinkling balls,
and so I got another refrain and was
murmuring ping pong, ditig dong and
ding dong bell all night. One of my
boys, who is always punning, told his
mother that huckleberry pie business
was simply a case of too much pie
eaty, and they tried to make me
smile, but they couldn’t. I was past
all wit and humor and puns and jokes.
But I am done with huckleberry pie
and huckleberry cordial and Huckle
berry Finn and any other huckleberry.
Only last Saturday my only brother
died suddenly of heart failure away off
from home. His time was not out,
for he was nearly twenty years young
er am, and now, a as! I have
:J*f!fother, and he was always a good
brother to me. But almost everybody
is threatened with heart failure now,
and so I am looking out for it, but
don’t want it to come along the Ange
lina line. The heart is the most won
derful and mysterious organ of our
anatomy. It is called the seat of af
fection, the desires and the emotions.
The organ of love and hate and joy,
but it is not. It is mentioned in the
Bible more than six hundred times,
and always in connection with our
good or bad traits, but it has nothing
to do with feeling or emotion or
character. It is nothing but a fleshy
pulpy organism, a mechanical contriv
ance, and has to be carefully nursed
or it will rebel. It is the engine that
drives the whole anatomical machine.
If overworked, or overfed with ice or
tobacco or anything else it will work
on faithfully until it can’t work any
longer, and then gets discouraged and
dies suddenly at its post. The book
says that but little was known to med
ical science concerning the heart until
the eighteenth century, and that with
in the last fifty years many books have
been written, and now no part of the
human system is better understood
or more satisfactorily treated. The
disease called angina pectoris is de
clared to be the most dangerous to
which it is subject because of its dis
tressing pain and a sense of impend
ing death. If I had read that while I
was suffering I should have surren
dered, but the doctor wouldn’t tell me
nor let me read it. He says it is ’ —.n,7
4o minify rather than to magnify the
apprehensions of his patients. But
the young people ought to be to’d, told
often and earnestly, that they can t
fool with the heart. A boy who smokes
cigarettes on the sly is storing up
trouble that will surely come home
and sap his manhood and shorten his
his life. This is so well known now
that good men will not employ boys
dren is their disobedience to their
parents and it is most generally the
mother’s fault They Will do things
that are forbidden, but she overlook*
their disobedience and so wheld they
get sick they will not thite the physi
cian’s medicines 'fiVthout force or a
struggle *nrd it the doctor is not there
• o fiVKd?) it the mother lets the time
pAvbs rather than hear the screams or
cries of the child. Not half the pa
rents enforce obedience froth their
children. Prompt and willing obedi
ence should be the first lesson taught
a child. Their happiness depends up-
Wno smoke. One vice calls for an
other and a news manager told mb
the other day that one of his news
boys skipped some of his patrons
every week so as to have a paper or
two to sell and get money to buy ci
garettes. Of course he discharged
him.
It is pleasant entertainmer.t to lis
ten to a doctor tell of his varied expe
riences and this one uttered a truth
the other day that ought to provoke
serious thought in every parent’s bo
som, H'e says that his greatest foe
in the treatment of diseases of chil
li U and so does the mother's peace.
We old fashioned people have but
ittle patience with a generation that
s trying to reform the world with new
nethods—abolishing the ways bf their
orefathefs —raising children on love
nstead of discipline and filling a.* the
wheels in the land with athletic sports
ind intcrco iegiate contests. What
lonor, what manliness is thure ift
.icklng a ball or batting one Of Wrest
ing or rowing a boat? These sports
save gotten to be the most iriiporthiit
iart of the curriculum and fill the
laily r&tbrs with pictures ana thrill
ng reports of the games. It is hit
an “ignis fatuUs” that fbOis the boys
and make them think they have ac
luired an education. When they went
o college their parents had fond hopes
lf .uCm—when they came out that
hope is gone, for they are unfit for
business or the duties of life.
While 1 was half recovering from
the morphine state 1 got tb rilrriiriating
about the va'ue of things and I com
pared goaii health and domestic hap
piness and the love and devotion of
wife and children with fame and pow
er and wealth and ambition and the
very thought cf them sickened me.
I wouldn't give a good shower of
rain just now for Roosevelt ahd ail he
has got Or Over expects to be. But I
love Roosevelt because he hates Miles
and I love Miles because he hates
Roosevelt, and I despise them both—„
“Turn Angelina”—ping pong. And
last of all came Satan. They are for
war. They kid a thousand negroes to
our one. They make a land desolate
and call it peace. They have trampled
the love of liberty in the dust and
all for lust of power and place. A
woman from Kansas City sends me
a paper with a speech of a Grand Ar
my of the Republic orator on Deco
ration Day, in which he states that he
wishes every Confererate monument
was buried in the bottomless ocean,
and other vindictive things, and she
wants me to answer it. No, it Is no
use. That Grand Army of the Repub
lic is full of just such contemptible
creatures, and I can’t answer them all.
It is a standing curse to the peace
of the land. Let the ball roll on. Turn
Angelina—ping pohg, ding dong, ding
dong bell. We will survive the wreck
of matter and the crush of worlds.
And so I went off to sleep murmur
ing, there is no Grand Army. It is a
two for a nickel or four to one con
cern. If I couldn’t fight better than
that, I’d apologize and hide out. Some
af them down here in Atlanta would
like to make friends, but they have
uever apologized and the way they do
reminds me of the old couplet:
"I know that you say that you love me,
But why did you kick me down stairs.”
