THE LITTLE OLD SPINET.
Do you see the little spinet standing in the cor¬
ner there?
Great-grandmother loved to play it when she was
a maiden (air.
Sunbeams through the window twinkle, flick'ring
on its yellowed keys,
And we almost hear the tinkle of the old time
melodies.
Great-grandmother gowned in silk, with high
heeled slippers, dainty lace,
Sat there, while a smile of pleasure lighted up
, her fair young face;
From without the rose scent lingers, drifting on
the summer breeze,
While she plays with fairy fingers all the old time
melodies*
And the little spinet waits her patiently these
long, long years,
Till its mellow voice is broken, harsh, and has the
sound of tears,
Yet it seems the sunbeams straying, flick’ring on
its yellowed keys,
And her fairy fingers playing all the old timf
melodies!
—Mary Small Wagner in Optimist.
Stevenaon’a Cup of Misery.
R. L. Stevenson, writing in 1893 to
George Meredith, in an epistle quoted
In a new edition of his “Letters,” says.
With heart touching pathos:
“For 14 years I have not had a day’s
real health. 1 have wakened sick and
gone to bed weary, and I have done my
work unflinchingly. I have written in
bed and written out of it. written in
hemorrhages, written in sickness, writ¬
ten torn by coughing, written when my
head swam for weakness, and for so
long. It seems to me, 1 have won my
wager and recovered tny glove. I am
better now—have been, rightly speak¬
ing, since first l came to the Pacific—
ahd still few are the days when 1 am
not in some physical distress. And the
battle goes on—ill or well is a trifle so
that it goes. I was made for a contest,
and the powers have so w illed that my
battlefield should be this dingy, inglori¬
ous one of the bed and the physic bot¬
tle. At least. I have not failed, but 1
would have preferred a place of trura-
petings and the open air over my
head.”
The Life Line In One’s Hand.
There are three prominent lines in
the palm—the line of life, that of the
head and the heart line.
The line of life begins on the inner
boundary of the palm, about midway
between the thumb and the forefinger.
If we imagine the left hand to be a
map, wltb tbe fingers pointing north,
this line runs toward the southeast,
then curves toward the south and in
some hands curves finally toward tbe
southwest. It thus skirts the base or
“uprise” of the thumb, known ss the
uprise of Venus. If it is deep, broad,
of good color and extends nearly or
quite to tbe wrist and if the rest of the
hand Indicates vitality and cheerful¬
ness, the subject maybe expected to live
to a green old age; he has a good dispo¬
sition and tbe qualities which good
health and good temper usually create.
Crane Island.
In Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota, there
Is a picturesque island which takes its
name from the fact that it is unin¬
habited by man and given over to the
cranes. Generations back these birds
decided upon this spot for a summer
resort As times went on and the sur¬
rounding Islands populated no man
had the heart to disturb them, until
now Crane Island is pointed out from
passing boats as one of tbe curiosities
of the northwest
Shave* and Cold*.
It Is not generally known among men
that close shaving Is apt to bring on a
Cold. Barbers, however, are acquaint¬
ed with this fact, and It Is rather on
account of It than through any desire
to bring their patrons back soon again
that they do not, unless ordered to, ad¬
minister close shaves.
BIG PRICES FOR ANIMALS.
A Small Sized Fortune Needed to
Buy a Giraffe.
Because of the difficulty of getting il
to America and of keeping it alive alt¬
er it arrives a good giraffe is quoted al
$7,000.
Next to the giraffe in the aristocracy
of cost come the rhinoceros and the
hippopotamus, worth from $4,000 tc
$5,000 each. If a dealer could breed

BUCHANAN. GA„ FRIDAY, AUGUST 30 , 1901 .
these auimain, lie could get rich, but
the big mammals rarely breed in cap-
tivity. About the only place in America
where hippojiotami have been known
to raise their young is in the uienag-
erie in Central park. New York.
A chimpanzee of size is worth $5,000,
and when one reaches the intelligence
of the late Mr. Crowley. Chico or Jo-
fanmia he is beyond a fixed price. The
monkey kind are most uncertain prop-
erty. The animal man says they are
certain to die. But the ordinary ones
can be bought very cheaply.
One can buy a nice ypmig baby ele¬
phant for $1,000 at times, but a really
good animal is worth from $1.S00 to
$3,000. An elephant does not command
the maximum price because of the
beauty of bis countenance, the ele-
gance of his figure, iiis intellectual en-
dowments or his size, but because of
a sweet, sunny disposition. A mean
elepliaut is about the most evil of liv¬
ing things. Sooner or later he has to
be killed, usually after he has slain
two or three keepers and done more
damage than he is worth. Of two ani¬
mals of equally good disposition the
larger and finer commands the higher
price, of course, but the most magnifi¬
cent beast with an inclination for mur¬
der isn’t worth as much as a very com¬
mon one that is trustworthy—that is,
ordinarily so, for the sweetest tem¬
pered have days when they seem in¬
spired of satan.—Junior Munse-y.
HIS START IN LIFE.
“DOC” HARTMAN AND HIS WONDER¬
FUL GREASE ERADlCATOR.
With Soap Candles nnd Bottles of
Rainwater, He Fooled the Public
and Laid tbe Foundations of a
Substantial Fortune.
“Talk about your self made men,”
said an old timer among a party of
horsemen gathered in one of the speed¬
way inns, ”1 don’t think any of ’em
can equal the early experiences of Tim
Ilartmnn, who died in St. Louis many
years ago, leaving nearly a million dol¬
lars to he fought over by bis heirs. lie
made his first good sized pile on pat¬
ent medicines, then he picked up a
great deal more on real estate, aud at
last he rounded out with speculation in
Montana copper, but be was known as
‘Doc’ Hartman to the time of his death
by his few intimate frieuds.
“But the story that I'm going to tell,
and tlie one which he often told him¬
self, concerns his very earliest experi¬
ences in the accumulation of money.
Tim Hartman started life with $1. He
kicked around as a barefooted boy—
and a pretty mean one. too—in a little
town in Connecticut until he was IS
years old, and at that time he had be¬
come so fresh and so full of wind nnd
general cussedness that his father one
day told him he was no good, never
bad been and never would amount to
a picayune. The old gentleman, just
to carry out the bluff, told Tim that he
bad a good mind to cut him off with a
dollar and make him earn his own liv¬
ing. Tim straightened up and called
tbe bluff. He told tbe old man that he
would take the dollar and get out then
and there and hustle for himself. The
old man handed him a crisp $1 bill and
told him that he’d be glad to see him
make a fortune with it.
“The first thing that cuss did was to
go about in a few back yards that he
knew of and gather together a lot of
empty bottles which were of no use to
anybody. Then, for 10 cents, he bought
a large cake of a kind of white soap
that was then, and still is, on the mar¬
ket. He melted this sbap and. after
borrowing an ancient pair of candle
molds from an old granny in the neigh¬
borhood, made two beautiful looking
candles of soap. He next filled his bot¬
tles full of choice rainwater. Then he
made for himself one of those little
three legged tables like the chuek-a-
luck and shell game «en use outside
tbe circus, and struck out on foot for a
county fair that was being held about
40 miles away.
“When be got there, he put up his lit¬
tle tablq outside the grounds, where
the crowd was pretty thick, lighted one
of his soap candles and began to extol
tbe virtues of ‘Dr. Hartman’s Famous
Grease Eradicator,’ contained in the
bottles set before him.
“ ‘Now, ladies and gentlemen,’ he
would shout in a stentorian but plausi¬
ble voice, ‘this marvelous liquid, so
harmless that it can be drunk with im¬
punity by the smallest infant and yet
so penetrating that it will seek out and
destroy stains and discolorations from
tbe most refractory substance, was dis¬
covered by accident b.v tbe famous sci¬
entist, Dr. Hartman, the eminent schol¬

Ev«rt» and the Author.
When a popular young author came
to see William M. Evarts while he was
secretary of state in behalf of a consul¬
ship for which he was an applicant,
Mr. Evarts congratulated him od the
fame which he had acquired, but has¬
tened to add, “Although you have lau¬
rels on your brows, 1 suppose you can’t
browse on your laurels.”

PAID FOR THE PICTURES.
Where the Money Came From Thai
Settled the It III.
“For diplomatic kindness I will never
forget one man,” remarked a well
known sportsman of Pittsburg. “He
certainly knew how to do the right
thing, and although it didn’t cost him
anything it helped a crowd of us out
of an embarrassing predicament for
the time. A party of young fellows,
myself in the number, were camping
years ago on tbe Beaver river, not far
from Rock point. None of 11s had much
money after getting our outfit and the
farmers got about all that was left
in exchange for milk and butter. One
day three of us decided to go up to the
picnic grounds, and, just as luck would
have it, we met a crowd of girls from
our own town. It was a happy meet¬
ing all around until some fool girl
suggested that we all get our pictures
taken. To save our lives, the three of
us boys couldn't have raised a total of
16 cents, but like true soldiers of for¬
tune we decided to go ahead and trust
to luck to meet the obligation.
“Tbe artist eyed us rather queerly
and our hearts began to fall. After a
whispered consultation I was delegated
to take him aside and negotiate with
him. 1 was authorized to stake every¬
thing we had, even down to our good
names. I stated the case briefly but
eloquently, and I must have made a
good impression, for. when 1 had fin
ished. he said it would be all right
The strangest part of it all to me was
when he handed me a dollar bill.
“ T know how it is myself,’ lie said
‘You want to put up a bluff before
these girls. Just hand me the dollar
for the pictures when I’m through.’
“That was what pleased me, and 1
flashed that bill before the girls with
the air of a magnate. It was just a
month later that I learned from a
brother of one of tbe girls that they
had noticed our worried looks and had
forestalled us by paying the pho¬
tographer the dollar I flotfHshed so
proudly.”—Pittsburg News.

found himself trying his hospitable
friend, who had got awkwardly mixed
up in some abduction of cattle. The
evidence was clear, the panel was con-
victed and the judge passed the solemn
sentence of death. Then, bending
down, he chuckled to the unfortunate
prisoner — the accommodation in the
provincial courts was cramped—“And

to put them into book form as a human
comedy or something of that sort?”
“My dear sir, it wouldn’t take a book
to do it. 1 have figured on the problem
of human nature until I know the an¬
swer. I should just say, ‘Human na¬
ture loves money,’ and let it go at
that.”—Exchange.
