No? Well, indeed; Zso did nobody else! For surf Hliing is the most fascinating, en- Zable thing on earth. And yet it Z its funny side; its drawbacks as S)l as its charms. Wne morning, while at Tybee with ■> press gang, The Devil went Zvn about 4 a. in. to take a plunge. When he went in, he was the only ■rson in sight, and he enjoyed an ■quisite ride on the waves. K)id you ever see a gentleman’s ■thing costume ? No? Well, you ■n’t want to, unless it is hanging Kto dry. It is cut so high up and ■ low down that it is not a difficult ■after for an active man to button Re end of his pants legs to his collar iJltton. And then the only fastening i a puckerstring around the waist, lat is too short to tie tight, and too >tten to stand any strain. Well, I had on one of those jib ails drawn very taut, and was sport ig in the waves, when I spied a ouple heading for the beach right rhere I was. He was a porpoise of early three hundred pounds; she a ragile lily of about ninety. They :ame gaily in, and nodding good norning, began to enjoy the surf. Once or twice before they came in, i had felt my costume become quite lervous in regard to staying witli me. Once I almost severed my right toe with a broken sea shell, and while holding it lovingly in one hand, I felt a sand crab clinch my 'other toe in his firm grasp, and made a violent lunge for the shore. My puckerstring broke, and I came very near losing “the other half” of my costume. I was thinking of an ex perience of Editor Tom Loyless of the Macon News, who, overtaken by a huge billow, had his puckerstring broken, and before he could regain his feet, the sad sea waves had stolen his costume, robe de nuit and all, and poor Tom had to lie down in shallow water until the shades of eve were falling so fast that he was able to make a sneak for the dressing room, and get a late supper. Yes, I was thinking of Tom’s experience as I saw them come in the surf. There had been a storm at sea the night before, and the billows were rolling mountain high—as deceptive in their beautiful white caps as the fair face of a young girl. The couple were sporting just ahead of me, about twenty feet nearer the shore, when one of the grandest billows that man ever had the joy of riding came in. I saw it and rode it nicely, getting only a slight ducking. But it caught the couple unawares. A thousand tons of brine hit the por- F°’se alongside and sent him floun dering to the beach ; the fragile lily loosed her hold on him, and went un der witli a scream just as I arose on the cre«t of the wave. I made a lunge for her, and caught her by the wrist just as she was ready to go un der the second time. But, alas, alack-aday! Just as I caught her wrist, my puckerstring broke. Visions of Tom Loyless and having to lie in the water all day came over me. I grasped my cos tume with tlie other hand, and my bosom was the great battle ground for a royal tournament «r,Vn eeu chivalry and modesty, ‘-hall I say it?

I reached bottom with my feet and began to lead her to the shore just as another billow sub merged us. She screamed again, and in my forgetfulness, I loosed my hold on that costume, and grabbed her firmly and placed heron her feet, just as her porpoise-husband came puffing up to take her hand. But,dear me; 1 was nearly Loyless fashion. My costume wasn’t gone, but the entire layout had yielded to a charitable impulse to gather around my feet and protect them from the crabs. In a stooped posi tion I scrambled into deep water, and my departure was so unceremo nious and so hurried that the lady had to explain to her husband that I was not ducking her, and did not flee to escape his wrath. I swam about a quarter of a mile up the beach before I went into shallow water, adjusted my costume and went up to the hotel. I did not see the couple any more. lam glad I did not. I hope I never will. I am afraid they saw too much of me even in the short time I was with them. * * If you can’t cure a thing, it is wise to endure it. But no brave person endures what can be cured. Trouble and disappointment, failure and re buff can only give more courage to the courageous, and strength to the strong. • » John Flemister says the latest trust that has been formed is the “Society Trust,” recently organized in Dalton by a few boys of the “Younger Set.” John says they have a corner on all the pretty girls, and hold their stock exhorbitantly high. * « The difference between an acquain tance and a friend is this: The ac quaintance rarely disappoints you; the friend almost always does—if you expect any return of friendship. * * “Truth crushed to earth will rise again”—to get crushed once more immediately. • • Don’t talk so much. You miss learning a good deal by not listening to others. » » As a rule Rev. Lingle is a phlegmat ic, self-possessed sort of fellow, and is a hard one to embarass. But they say he was knocked off his pins com pletely last Saturday night. It was out at Union Point, and a man stepped up to him and asked: “Say, mister; would you marry a feller right this minute?” Mr. Lingle blushed and replied that he had much rather marry a girl if he had to marry. The man explained that he wanted the marriage cere mony performed. Mr. Lingle is brave, and although he had never married a couple before, lie tried his hand. The boys say he blushed worse than the bride, and forgot to ask half the questions, but he spliced them all right, and all parties were happy (Mr. Lingle not excepted) when the ceremony was over. • # About two years ago, an Indiana woman presented her husband with three girls, and they were named Faith, Hope and Charity. Week before last, patriotically yielding to Uncle Sam’s demand for soldiers, she gave him four boys, and he has named them Dewey, Schley, Funston and Wheeler. The war was evident ly a fortunate thing for them—it seems to have prevented them from running out of names. * * Berry Bowen says he met a nice editor while away—the first real nice one he ever saw—and he traveled in his company five or six hours. The boys say they believed that the editor was nice until they learned that he stayed five or six hours in Berry’s company. Some people may think “gathering shells by the seashore” is a romantic business, but I can now assure them that it takes a powerful lotof romance to cover an exercise that is hotter than plowing in the sun and more tiresome than picking dwarf cotton.

That’s what I call moving. * • Rev. Luke Johnson is a comforting as well as a strengthening preacher. He said Sunday that God was not only a forgiving God, but that he did not"place the same estimate upon sins that human beings did—all sin was alike to him, and each sin truly repented of was quickly forgiven, and when forgiven was forgotten and never more brought up against the offender. What a sweet old world this would be, if human beings tried to be God like. * * He said he was going to kiss her. She threatened to scream. I. heard the “buss” plainly.

We expect to be patted on the back for doing our duty-, and to have our efforts to do good appreciated and remembered. The world differs with us; it knows we must not feel too good, lest we get proud and become useless. » * The populistic-socialistic idea is thus emphasized in a conversation reported between an English woman and an Irishman. “So you’d have all the money in the world divided equally,would ye?” said the woman. “Signs on it I would,” said the man, with a slight taste of brogue which emphasized his earnestness. “I would that. Every man would have the same amount of money.” “And what would you do,” asked the woman, with a bit of fun in her eye, “when you’d drunk up all your fortune ?” The man’s excitement did not abate, and he replied without a I moment’s hesitation: “Why, then, Iby heavens, we’d have to level it off ' once more, d’ye see, and divide over again.” • * Don’t think yourself extra shrewd ; the other fellow’s shrewd, too. If you are shrewd enough to always recognize his shrewdness, you may prove the shrewder. If "not. his shrewdness may prove that he is shrewder than you. * * A funny thing about the ladies at the seashore is that most of them will hide their faces on the way to the waves, but not their figures. At home, they hide their figures and are glad to have their faces seen. • » “P. D.” says that the ague is a powerful shaky thing, but that he had rather have all the chills in Georgia than to have one girl give him the shake. * * There are two kinds of people we can’t bear—those who can’t see our jokes, and those who see them and don’t laugh at them. * * A wag thus describes the differ ence between a honeycomb, a honey moon and a pretty girl: “A honey comb is a little cell; a honeymoon is a big sell, and a pretty girl is a dam sel.” • • An East Tennessee editor recently asked his pastor home to dinner with him. The invitation was accepted and when the preacher noted the scant fare upon the table, he asked a blessing as follows: “Lord, make us thankful for what we are about to receive, and then strengthen us to journey home after we have received it.” As old man Posey used to say, “that’s no lie-bill.” • * Young girls don’t like the kissing bug. They object to any innovation in the good old way. The old maid also objects to this bug, because he prevents her from declaring, “I’m forty, and I have never been kissed.” * ♦ A fellow-devil gives this as an 8-year-old girl’s composition! “Once there was a poor young man who was in love with a rich girl, whose mother had a large candy Store. The young man wanted to marry the candy lady’s daughter, but he was too poor to buy furniture. One day a bad man offered him twenty-five dollars to become a drunkard. The poor young man was dreadfully tempted, because he wanted to be rich enuf to marry the candy lady’s daughter. But when he got to the saloon door with the bad man he said: “I will not break my pledge even to be rich ; get thee behind me, Satan.’ So he went home, and on the way found a pocket book with one hundred million dol lars in it. So he went and told the candy store lady’s daughter and they were married. They had a lovely wedding, and the next day they had twins. Thus you see that Virtue is its own reward.” “Yea, verily; virtue is its own re ward, and truly its only reward.
