In Love and War. s HEN Charles u r as 7/Xv thirty he decided f'T-TvV t| that he had gone to school long e n o ugh. His m father had arrived at that conclusion •i. % years before, but 1 the son’s indomit¬ r able determina¬ tion to conquer at least the rudi¬ ments of his profession before he should enter upon active practice made him deaf to all paternal entreaties to return home until one morning he waked up to find that his thick bronze board had developed several actually gray threads. ing Consequently, one fine spring morn¬ all Biissfield xvas electrified to see, as it passed the quaint old Dayton homestead, a modest, little gilt sign bearing the simple words, “Dr. Charles Dayton.” He didn’t “take” at first. He wore short coats in direct opposition to all former ideas of the professional man’s dress, and he didn’t seem to remem - ber anybody whom ho had known in his youth. It wasn’t because he was proud, ho knew, but he had been occupied with graver things during his absence than remembering who was the sister to his Sunday-school teacher and who mar- wed the youngest of the Barker girls. But after a year or so of doubt they began to understand him, especially xvhen his superior skill had saved tho darling of nearly every household in town when the scarlet fever threatened to fill the tiny graveyard on tho edge of the hill. Dr. Charles, as they learned to call him, had an additional trait in his favor; he knew how to neglect each and every woman in Biissfield with equal severity. Not that women enjoy being neglected, but they always develop a sort of respect for a man who doesn’t stoop to them, providing Jie is consis¬ tent in his frigidity to all the women in the place. At the end of five years two things had taken place in Biissfield. Dr. Charles was the idol of the town, and young Tom, the baby of the Dayton family, was going to celebrate reach¬ ing his majority by taking unto himself a wife. It was an awful mistake, thought the ■whole household when the downy- cheeked Tom stood up in blushing bravado on liis return from his junior year at college, aud persisted in liis statement that he was never going to school again. For that fall he was to become the husband of the dearest lit¬ tle girl in all the world. But reason settled upon them, and the only stipulation was that a little maiden should come for a visit to the family of her future husband some time that summer. One morning late in July Miss Day- ton and her younger brother set out for the East, and returned a week lat¬ er with the tiny lady, who was in a pretty state of nervousness at the strangeness of the situation. Dr. Charles was out in the country at the bedside of a patient, and when, after midnight, lie stumbled in, drip¬ ping, splashed with mud after his long ride in the storm and sick at heart (his patient had died in spiteof his efforts), he had forgotten all about the expect¬ ed visitor till he caught sight of a lit¬ tle sailor hat and a pair of crumpled gloves on the table in tho hall. It seemed so very odd to find any¬ thing so young, so daintily feminine in this staid old house that ho stood long in tho dimly-lighted hall, absent¬ ly smoothing out the tiny gloves, pressing each finger in place and not¬ ing with an indulgent smile that a button was missing from the left wrist. Dr. Charles slept badly that night and awoke with the sun in spite of the late hours of the night before. Some way the first thing to come into his mind as lie opened his eyes was the rumpled, tiny, buttonless glove in the hall below, and the more he tried to throw off the memory the closer it clung to him. When he reached the lower hall lie found himself again by the little table with the little hat and gloves, and he put out his hand with a touch almost caressing. Just as his fingers met the pretty feminine trifles he heard a fresh young voice just behind him saying: “I’ll take these, if they are in your way. I forgot them last night ” Dr. Charles wheeled about guiltily. There, on the lower step, was a young girl, looking straight at him from the most the baby-like blue eyes ever lighting face of woman. Dr. Charles, later on, in analyzing his feelings, realized that he had ex¬ perienced three distinct sensations at the first sight of her. First, that of the critic, in which he was amazed to see here in the actual flesh the girl whom he had always be¬ fore thought existed only in senti¬ mental novels. frowned Secondly, as the physician, who at the extreme slightness of the figure, the frail wrist, the tiny neck. And lastly, as the man, who wanted to take her close in his arms, to kiss her, to love her and to call her his own. ‘I really must beg you to forgive me, but a young lady is 30 rare a pleasure in this houso that I was over- whelmed at my good fortune. ” he Finally, gathering himself together, walked over to her, and, taking one of her bauds in each of his, he said, gravely: “l'ou ore to be my sister, I suppose. I am brother Charles.” Eloise was herself again and smiled charmingly “I ns she said: knew you immediately. I’ve known you for a long time, I think, for Tom talks of you all the time.” She xvas most delightful, Dr. Charles confessed, but some xvay it rankled that she should accept him so much as a matter of course. IltT xvould liax’o preferred her to look upon him more as a man to be studied rather than a problem already solved. What a fool he had been to call her liis little sister. Ho didn’t xvant to think of her as a sister; he didn’t xvant her ever again to speak to Tom in that familiar xvay, as though everything xvas settled. Then he deliberately drew her close to him aud kissed her fairly on her smooth, white forehead. She strug¬ gled axvay with a little cry, while her face grew deadly pale. Then she said, ith a nervous, hurt little laugh xvhicli sounded pitifully like a sob: “Of course, since you are Tom’s brother.” When he came down to breakfast he found the family at tho tablo, but Tom rose xvith a strange noxv prido to pre¬ sent his lady lox’e to his fine big (brother. Then the physician said, in a grave, calm tone: “I met Eloise in the hall this morning. I kissed her. ” If consternation had been in ber midst before, it noxv rose to a terrible pitch. Tom’s fingers clutched the edge of the table, And he drew his breath sharply, when little Eloise, with that tact xvhicli heaven sometimes sends xvomen in their times of peril, answered: “Yes, and he called me his little sister. He isn’t much used to kissing a girl, though, I knoxv, for he did it so queerly, and—he kissed me on the forehead, Tom, while you always choose my lips.” It xvas au awfully bold thing to do, but then it is tlio lightning flash which clears tho sky. The lover xvavored, tried to speak once or txvice, at) d finally ended by bending over and saluting the little girl squarely on tho lips. “There, sxveetheart, xve’ll show him lioxv it is done.” And the amazed Miss Elizabeth ejaculated, “Mercy me!” off so loudly into that the xvhole party xvent a nervous but steadying laugh. Dr, Charles took up liis medicine case and hurried down the street tho instant that the meal xvas over. He stayed axvay for three days and nights, but xvhen Sunday came he appeared among them as usual, apparently as tiny grave, Eloise as preoccupied as before the came to Biissfield. He did not accompany them to church, but as he Welled her by T om’s side, dainty in the snowy muslin gowns she xvore so much, he turned away xvith a mighty purpose in his eyes. From that instant it xvas fated that Eloise should be the xvife of the man who didn’t know how to kiss her, instead of tho gay-hearted boy whose privilege it now was to claim her as his own. One morning, when Eloise had been laughing with tho family on the shaded lawn, a telegram xvas brought her an¬ nouncing the sudden death of her father, and so Elizabeth and Tom. started suddenly axvay from Biissfield xvith their terror-stricken little charge. Tom decided to return to college, but he stoutly refused to go back to his former school, xxhich was near POPULATION AN D DRAINAaB. MORGAN, GA.. FRIDAY. JULY 23- 1897. Eloise’s home, but chose instead a seat Finally of learning farther east. arrived one February morning there a short, unhappy note, in which poor Eloise begged to come to visit the Dayton family. “Mamma is at sister’s, whose baby has the scarlet fever, so they won't let me stay with them, and it is so lonesome here in this big house with no one but the servants. Besides I want to talk to you about Mr. Thomas Dayton.” Dr. Charles’s heart leaped for joy. This formal “Mr. Thomas Dayton” spoke volumes. And so the little girl came to Bliss- field the second time, and reached the Dayton home on another stormy night, this time to be welcomed by the beard¬ ed doctor standing by the glowing fire and holding out both his hands. Sim¬ ple Elizabeth the next day told him all Eloise’s confessions of Tom’s neglect, and added: “She puzzles mo,. Dr. Charles. Slio doesn’t seem to be half so broken¬ hearted as I expected. I really think that her pride is hurt worse than her affections. And I thought she loved him so.” The climax came when a whole week passed without a letter from Tom, and Eloise, setting her white lips and blinking back her tears of mortifica¬ tion, wrote to offer to release him from his engagement. The speed and eager¬ ness with which he accepted almost took her breath away. Dr. Charles was standing in the hall in the twilight, before the grute, where he had welcomed her the stormy night a few weeks ago. As his eyes fell on Eloise, half broken, half radiant, there sprang iiyto them such a light as made her drop her own. She realized that Elizabeth had told him the whole pitiful, shame¬ ful little story, even to sending the ring aud back in its tiny white satin bed, yet, somehow, she never was so happy before. “You are free again, Eloise?” Ho had taken the little left hand and turned it till the firelight showed the bare third finger. And poor Eloise could only say a little half¬ sobbing “Yes.” “Then,’’ said Dr. Charles, solemnly, “I may ask you to give up that free¬ dom again and to teach me to kiss you as Tom did.”—Chicago Tribune. WORDS OF WISDOM. Some people consider it hard to be poor, but the majority of us find it dead easy. Don’t get into the habit of vulgariz¬ ing life by making light of the senti¬ ment of it. Selfishness is ofton so refined that it is deeply xvounded at tho least re¬ monstrance. If xve had no defects, we should not take so much pleasure in discovering those of others. There is no man easier to be de¬ ceived than he xvlio hopes, for he apis in his oxvn deceit. A pound of water in the ocean tem¬ pest has no more gravity than in a midsummer pond. Our happiness in this xvorbl de¬ pends very largely on the affection xvo arc able to inspire. The feeble tremble before opinion, the foolish defy it, the xviso judge it, the skillful direct it. Don’t express a positive opinion un¬ less you perfectly understand xvhat yon are talking about. True genius much resembles a mus¬ tard plaster. The secret of its smart¬ ness lies in closo application. If a man tells us xvhat he thinks of his neighbors, wo can generally tell what his neighbors think of him. Ho xvliose ruling passion is the love of praise, is a slavo to every one that has a tongue for flattery and calumny. We are oftener more cruelly robbed by those xvho steal into our hearts than by thoso who break into our bouses. Fun is the most conservative ele¬ ment of society, and ought to be cherished and encouraged by all law¬ ful means. It is an inevitable law that a man cannot bo happy unless ho lives for something higher than his own happi¬ ness.—The Southxvest. The Cuckoo’s Note. A curious criticism has been made by a correspondent of the London Chronicle of H. E, Krehbiel’s book, “How to Listen to Music.” Tho cor- respondent says that Mr. Krehbiel seems to be under the impression that all cuckoos sing the same interval. “Either Mr. Krohbiel has not heard the cuckoo very much or he has not heard many cuckoos. I have hoard tho cuckoo sing a rather sharp second —sometimes a minor and sometimes a major third. Last Sunday at West Wickham he sang a fourth. Whether tho same cuckoo X’aries his note or dif¬ ferent cuckoos sing different intervals I do not know. ” To this it may be re¬ plied that probably Mr. Krehbiel re¬ ferred to tlio American cuckoo, which, xvhilo closely related to tho English cuckoo, has native peculiarities of his own that may extend to a diftorent vo¬ cal method from his English cousin,— New York Advertiser.

RARTOW PHILOSOPHER REGIS¬ TERS A LARGE, HEALTHY KICK. MUCH WATER, BUT LITTLE LIGHT. Hot Weather of tlio Past Month Bcmlnda ilim of the Prediction That, tho World is Drying Up. T wonder if there is a town or city in the world whose gaslight and water¬ works satisfy the people. I know that it is chronic to complain of corpora¬ tions, but 1 am obliged to consider myself an injured person. Almost every night I have to go down town to help nurse and comfort, a little sick child who if very dear to me, and although the street, has a gaslight, I collide with something or somebody or fall into a ditch every dark night I travel. 1 ran against a big fat negro woman the other ni, ht,, and she used disrespectful language at mo. Last, night, I had in my hand a bucket of blackberries that my daughter gavo me, aud I fell over a stepping stone aud spilled them all and skinned my aged shins and dropped my cane, aud it, took me some time to find it. I’ve a good notion to bring suit for damage; and have a receiver appointed. That so-called gaslight does not throw its effulgent rays a hundred feet, and is not, lighted more than half the time, and now that lightning bugs have come again, I think the company ought to catch some and put them iii a bottle and do away with the gas. But I don’t see any sense in having gas with the lamp posts a quarter of a mile apart. We don’t want to carry lanterns and pay for gas, too. That’s all I have got to say about this gas business, and my folks have hinted that the fault, is more in my eyes and my legs than in the dim, religious light, but I know better. I am not on the superannuated list by a good deal. I work every day in my garden and get all in a sweat of perspiration, and then clean up and feel good and hon¬ est. The long drought hurt me pretty bad, but the garden survived it, and now we have vegetables abundant. The waterworks man never caught mo stealing more than my share of water but once, and bo didn’t make much fuss about it. He is a very con¬ siderate man. Up north tho com¬ panies put meters at every cus¬ tomer’s residence, and he pays for what he uses, but we have got more water here than the town can use, and don’t have to be stingy. What a blessed thing it is! Water, plenty of water! Wat or in the kitchen and at the back door and in tho front yard and the garden, beside a bathtub upstairs and downstairs. Pur© water, fresh from a big spring that gushes from the hillside. No rix’er nor pond nor reservoir nor filtering machines nor microbes nor bacilli. No ivell rope to break nor xvindlass to got loose and knock ono of the children in the head. No cleaning out and finding doftd chickens that xve had been drink¬ ing on. The fact is, I never knoxv tlio comfort of water, abundant water, un¬ til xve planted our xvaterxvorks in Car- tersville. Strange to say, they never came until xvo abolished whisky—that is, the saloons. A great English poet and jurist says: “Its cool refreshment drained by fevered iips gives pleasure moro exquisite than nectarean juice,” and Coleridge’s sum of human agony xvas to have— “Water, xvater everywhere, But not a drop to drink.” During the late long heated term in June it xvas alarming to read from tho weather bureau Hint tho xvorbl xvas slowly but surely drying up, and the rainfall xvas decreasing evory year. What an awful calamity is to come to somebody some time! God grant that, it may not come iu our day, nor our children’s nor children’s children! God grant that it may not come at all! But (he scriptures do say that tills world shall be burned up, and I heard Professor Proctor, the great astrono¬ mer, deliver a lecture on the “Birth, Groxvth, Maturity, Decay and Destruc¬ tion of a World” that made the hair al¬ most stand on end, for he proved that the world bad passed its meridian and xvas now on a rapid down grade of de¬ cay. “Rapid, rapid, did 1 nay? Yes, rapid for a planet, but it may lie a mil¬ lion years distant.” That lets ns down easy, and that night the young people danced and the sports played poker as usual. Just postpono tho judgment out of sight and human nature will take the chances. But the blessed seals that, hold the rain in the heavens have at last been opened, aud once more nmn and boast and nature rejoice in a temperate at¬ mosphere and a moistened earth. It, was distressing to read of the sun¬ strokes and the suffering in tho great cities, and to think of the little inno- cont children anil the invalids in the garrets and croxvded rooms of the tenement houses. Oh, when xvill the good things of this xvorbl lie equally apportioned? Many of us have far more than our share, but xve are still ungrateful and long for more. My opinion Is that, independent of all revelation, there is obliged to be an¬ other life in another world just to equalize things. “Hon, remomber that thou in thy lifetime receivodst good things and Lazarus evil things, but now Lazarus is comforted and thou nrt tormented.” That is a good text for us all to ruminate about once or twice or thrice in a while. I tell you, my friends, it is a fearful thing to be rich and selfish. I’m afraid to risk it. But sometimes I do catch myself wishing that I had a rich old bachelor to die and leave me a pile of money to frolic with in my old ago. Or that Mrs. Arp would realize her part of that Holt estate in England, flood gracious I She should have a car¬ riage and a pair of Kentucky bays before next Sunday to ride to church. But it is an old proverb that if wishes were horses we would all take a ride. And there is an old Persian fable that tells how au old man was always wishing for something and one night as he aud his old wife were brooding over their poverty and wishing for different things, a genus came in and told them they might have three wishes, aud he would grant them. Of course,they were happy beyond expression, and as the old man was hungry pudding. he wished right away for a plum Immediately it was set before him in a silver platter, and this foolish wish made the old woman so mad that she exclaimed: “I wish that it was hung on your nose.” Pres¬ to, quick the pudding jumped up and was fastened to the old man’s nose. They had but one wish left,and the old mau had to use that in wishing the pudding loose again. And so the good genus left them as poor as they were before he came, I suppose that fable was designed to teach its that it is better to trust, the Lord and be content with our lot. Nevertheless, most of us would try the genus if ho would come. Once moro let me write of John Quincy Adams aud bis beautiful poem. I have received it from just a score of good friends, but only two of them have the full poem of twenty stanzas of eight lines each. Some of them have fourteen, some twelve, and one only eleven. Ono from Mrs. Hollo¬ man, of Eatonton, has not tho last stanza, beginning— “These are the wants o' mortal man, 1 cannot need them long.” But has instead a stanza that, I do not find in any other copy. Which is tlie revised version 1 do not know. The poem is romnrkablo not only for its thought and felicity of expression, but because its author, “the old man eloquent,” was tho only president who over wrote a poem or even a verse, so far as we know. As some of those lady correspond¬ ents have suggested that Goldsmith was the author of the lines, “Man wants tint little hero below, Nor wants that little long.” Lot mo say that Young preceded Goldsmith forty-four yearH, and his expression is, “Man wants but little, nor that little long.” Goldsmith only added a word or t wo to make tho measure fit his ballad.—Bm Abp, in Atlanta Constitution. Much conthmiray has arisen regarding the Investigations of Dr. G. S. Hall, Pres¬ ident of Clark University, on things Which most produce a state of fear In people*. Of these thunder and lightning take the lead. But there are many things not Included or mentioned in the list sent to Dr. Hall which are much more fatal. Statistics of the United States Weather Bureau show that for the four years. the dealhs fr ° m Hehtnlng num- bered 784, or 196 each J-ear. H. Now York City a.one over 200 are drowned every year, 150 arc burned to death and 500 meet their death by falls of various kinds. Compared with this record for one city, the total of DO deaths from lightning in the xvholo United States goer™ small. ’Die risk of lightning Is live times greater In tho country than tn the city. Tho metal roofs and well-grounded pipes and network of electrical wires prove a pro- tection. Of 212 recorded cases of peoplo struck by lightning only seventy-four were killed. Perhaps the cause of this special fear is that many nervous peoplo are affected hours before the approach of a thunder storm and have little power to stand the strain during an eleclrltal disturbance of the atmosphere. Musical Ride on Bicycles. Here is a new idea for church fairs and charitable bazaars, At an ama- teur entertainment given under royal patronage, in aid of a fund to pay off the debt on the schools of Ht. Peter’,, London Docks, a number of young ladies gave a series of performances on bicycles. The chief number on the programme xvas the “musical ride.” Ladies rode their bicycles with ring tinkling and other musical perform¬ ances, to tlm admiration of a vast,as¬ sembly. It is said their performances were graceful throughout, and occa¬ sionally clover. And xvith practically no expense a considerable sum xvas realized on behalf of the school debt. Tho New York Tribune projects Its edi¬ torial glance Into the next century, and predict* that tbo year 1906 will bring about, marvelous changes In tho physical and Intellectual character of northeastern Asia. Ono of the most Important of these changes will bo wrought by the completion of tho great Siberian railway, whfch Is now In progress. This gigantic line will he 6,000 miles In length, an,d Its terminal point will be at Vladlvostock, on the coast of Asia. Still another change will ho In the establishment of branch naval headquarters In that portion of t)ie globo by Itossla. The Russian Gov¬ ernment within tho next few years con¬ templates the expenditure of $400,000,000 In warships, and with the completion of tho Siberian railway quite a number of vessels will lie transferred to Asiatic waters, there to remain permanently. But aside from tho chang<« which Rus¬ sia will bring about In the character of northeastern Asia, the Tribune shows that the Japanese Government Is working upon a plan of naval expansion which 'bids fair to yield substantial results within the next few years. If this plan succeeds, Japan, In 1906, will possess six first-class battleships, ranging from 12,000 to 16,000 tons each; one second-class bat¬ tleship; six first-class armored cruisers, six second-class armored cruisers, six third-class armored cruisers, twelve fourth-class armored cruisers, 115 tor¬ pedo gunboats, one torpedo depot-ship, eleven torpedo-boat destroyers and twen¬ ty-live g-unboaXs. With these various changes tho condition of northeastern Asia will bear tittle resemblance to Its present aspect. T. P. GREEN/MANAGER, BRAND THEIR HUSBANDS “COW- AR1)S” IF THEY FAIL TO FIGHT. HUNGER IS A FACTOR IN STRUGGLE The Unemployed Miners Will Make an Effort to Stop Those Who are Yet at Work. The events of Sunday in the Pitts¬ burg coal mining district indicate that there is trouble ahead. Tho strike lias been on for two weeks, with no cause for alarm in any quarter, but now the pangs of hunger and nnitteiiugs of discontent have taken tangible form, and 1,000 miners will inarch on Cannonsburg, the ob¬ jective point being the Boone and Allison mines. A few days ago tho operators of the mines made a requisition on the sheriff of Washington county for additional deputies. It is supposed that there are at least, thirty deputies at each mine, well armed for any friction that may take place. The miners of the Millers and Tom Bun district held massmeetings. The men employed in the slope and llridge- ville mines, Essen Nos. 1 anil 2, and Steens mines met at Bridgeville. Cecil was the soeno of n meeting of Laurel Hill Nos. 2 and t, Greedmore and Bishop mines, and tho diggers em¬ ployed in the Standard and Ellsworth mines in Millers Hun, also held a meeting. Women Urging I lie Fight. The gatherings were attended by men, women aud children, ’The wo- men did not lag in the. interest taken. Many of them openly branded their husbands as cowards. They argued that they might as well fight as starve. The men said the victory could lie won providing every coal miner em¬ ployed in the sections where the lake trade is supplied would join the gen¬ eral movement of the idleness. Elans for bringing out the miners at work in tho Boone and Allison mines were discussed. Special committees were sent from one meeting to the other. It was decided to march on to Can- nonshurg mine Sunday night. The Beissing brass band, and the Cecil drum corps were engaged for the oc¬ casion . A miner who xvas very enthusiastic over the plan said there would be at least 1,000 men in lino.

There will be a reunion of the Sev¬ enth Goorgia regiment survivors at Grant park, Atlanta, on July 21. The adjourned session of the federal court was to have convened at Ooinm- bus Monday, but was adjourned over until September 13th, by Marshal Walter Johnson. This was the new marshal’s fiist official visit to Colum¬ bus. Andrew J. Carmichael, through his attorneys, lias filed suit against Peni¬ tentiary Company No. 3 for $20,000 damages. While serving a term for burglary Carmichael claims to have been permanently injured by a falling rock. He claims lie was forced into n position of peril by the whipping boss. * + * Georgia made a splendid showing at tho international gold mining conven¬ tion held in Denver, Col., the past week. The idea of making a great mineral display had to be abandoned because the state’s gold exhibit at the Tennessee exposition could not bo ob¬ tained, But individuals sent speci¬ mens of gold ore from Georgia mines and many of the nuggets wove unusu¬ ally handsome. Columbus warehousemen find them¬ selves in au unusual position for this season. It is estimated that there are not now more than about sixty bales ot saleublo option in the local ware¬ houses, practically all the stock hav¬ ing been disposed of. Usually at this time of the yoar there are several hundred. A day or two ago the Eagle and Phenix mills bought 370 bales of middlings cotton from Pope & Hood, agents, for 7 1 cents per pound. When the special term of the Tal¬ bot court, at which Dr. Byder’s case is to come up, convenes, Judge Hart, of Union Point, will probably be on the bench. Judge Hart and Judge Butt may exchange duties this sum¬ mer a while, and if the exchange is made, Judge Hart will preside over the special term at Talbotton.

Beck postponed liis decision in tho Taylor Delk caso in Jackson a day or two ago. He con¬ sented to xvait until the defense could present additional evidence in regard tn the alleged incompetoncy of juror J. J. Leo. The final argument will take place at Jackson next Friday, xvhen Delk’s attorneys will make a strong effort to get a nexv trial.
