THE POWER OF PAYING “NO.” Somebody has said that to give a young man the power to say “No’’ is a grander gift than giving him a thousand pounds. There is a large family of the Pliables in ; existance folks born without 1 backbones. I like youth who can | look one in the face, and if a thing is a lie, say so and if it is true, hold to it through all the world is against him. You will get such boys as these from Bands of Hope for if they say “no” in connection with drink, they can say “no” in collection with other things. I will give you an illustration of what I mean. A little fellow who had been brought up a staunch teetotalar was about to be apprenticed. The foreman offered him a glass of beer. The little fellow said: “I never touch that stuff.” “Halloa, youngester,” replied the foreman, “we have ro teeto talers here.” “If you have me, you’ll have one,” returned the boy. The foreman was irritated, and holding up the glass of beer, he said: “Now, my boy, there’s only one master here, you’ll either have this inside or outside ’ The little fellow said,“ Will you con p’pasp yourstdf.

You may spoil my jack et, but you ahan’t poil my charac ter.”—The Rev. Charles Garrett A BLIGHTED LIFE. No one can read the following without a feeling of the deepest in dignation against liquor dealers, who, knowing the habits of this young man. would still sell him whiskey. And the indignation is just as great toward those who li. cense men to sell whiskey. May God help us to blot out the dis gr ce from our state. In a little house on McDaniel steeet a blighted life was ended yesterday morning. Weakened by disease, worn by dissipation, Lee Peacock, for several years the most conspicuous habitue of the city stockade, died. It was the sad ending of a sad career. Peacock had the brightest pros pects. Some years ago he was look ed upon as one of the most pop ular young men in Atlanta. „His family was well known and had a good standing. He attended the state university and among the crowd of jolly stu dents ucuewere better known than happy-hearted, careless Loe Pea cock. He returned to Atlanta and fur several years engag'd steadily in business. But he loved whiskty and his taste for that firey fluid could not be controlled. His fall was rapid. He was arrested several times for being drunk on the stree’s, 'i hese arrests became more frequent and in a few mouths it was not an uncommon thing io see Lee Pea cock brought into the station deep ly under the influei ci of liquo'. For the last three years most of his days have been spent at the city stockade. He began to look upon the place as home, and the day after he was released appeared again before recorder with unfail ing .regularity to be sentenced again fora stay at the stockade. He was treated there as a kind of trusty. The guards knew his weak ness and pitied him. He was giv light duties and often allowed to rem tin behind while the rest of tie prisoners were carried to the works. There was naturally nothing mean in the make up of Lee Pea c ck, and it was only when unde r the influence of liquor when his manner took a vicions turn. Peac< ck made many attempts to reform, and his friends of better days made sfforts to help him out, but the thirst for drink was irre sistible Six weeks ago he an nounced his decision to reform ho tel e Judge Calhoun in one of the most pathetic pleas ever heard in a courtroom. When he had fin ished there was scarcely a dry eye among the crowd of hardened po licemen. He went over his life in a voice choking with grief. f “Judge,” said he, “let me off this time, and I promise you I will never come up before you again.

Look at these old clothes, judge. I just got out of the stockade yesterday, and I haven’t had any chance to get any more. I am go ing out home and straighten up and go to work. I know I have been here lots of times, but I mean what Isay, and if you give me a chance, I will try to do better.” Judge Calhoun let him go. Two days after that he was arrested again and brought before the re corder. “Judge,” he said, with a hearty laugh, “there ain’t no use for me to try. Just give me thirty days, that’s all you can do forme now.” Peacock served bis sentence and ' was released. Several days after, he had a difficulty with Night Guard, Ike Wheeler at the city stockade, and he never recovered from the injuries received. “He had no business out her ,' said Wheeler, speaking of tho affair. “He was drunk, and came here sim ply to mule a disturbance. I came in my house late that afternoon and found Lee there. My wife ran out and told me that he had insulted her and, or couige, I was mad. I struck him, but I did not strike him with a g u or with a chair. I used my fists, I but I used them hard and knocked him from the house. I was sorry I hit him so haid, afterward?, but the fact that hj had come to my house during my absence and insulted my wife, enraged me.” That afternoon Lee Pescock was carried to the Grady hospital. His wounds were dressed, and he was released next day. After that he was al out the station house once or twice, but appeared very feeble. Last week he was taken seriously ill, and since then grew worse, un til his death yes.eruay morning.— Constitution. KILLED Hli FATHER. Van K. Prichett was tried for the murder of his father, iu Ten nessee, last week. The circumstances were these. The father,Clark Prich ett, was drunk and bad compelled Mrs. Prichett to play the piano several hours. She arose, after a time, as it she would leave the room, when her husband .cursed her and advanced toward her with his hand on bis hip pocket. Hav ing previously threatened her life Van Prichett, believing his moth er’s life was in danger slipped b< - tween them and shot his fathur twice, d,ath following in a lew hours. This is another whiskey tragedy. They are constantly oc curring. And yet men are licensed to sell it. We pray the legislature now in session in Atlanta, to give us some protection from saloons and whiskey sellers. —rWesleyan Advocate. There is no medicine so often needed in every home and so ad mirably adapted to tho purposes for which it is intended, as Cham berlain’s Pain Balm. Hard ly a week passes but some member of the family has need of it. A tooth ache or a scald promptly re lieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine Iras to be sent for. A sprain may be promptly treated before inSama tion sets in, which in sures a cure in about one-third of the time otherwise re quired. Cuts and bruises should re ceive immediate treatment before the parts become swollen, which can only be don when Pain Balm is kept at hand. A sore throat may be cured before it becomes sericus A troublesome corn may be remov ed by applying it twice a day for a week or two. A lame back may be cured and several days of valuable time saved or a pain in the side or chest islieved without paying a doctor bill. Procure a 50 cent bot tle at once and you will never re gret it.

Bowen and famitey, of Silver Creek , had left for Texas last night, and that he also left many debts behind . The same report says than his s >d Charley Bowen and family skipp- | ed with the o'd gentleman. An Amusing Oversight. An amusing incident occurred at a fashinable wedding in London. One friend, who determined to save her money and credit at the same time, took a broken ear-ring to a famous jeweler of Bond street ! an i ordered the little stone to be 1 set as a scarf pin for the groom. j As she sagely remarked: ‘lt ( does me no good, and coming from ( such famous establisment, they are sure to prize it and think I paid a lot of money.” When the package was returned from the shop the wedding guest failen to examine her proposed present, and merely dispatched it with her card and compliment. Imagine her disgust when stroll ing through the rooms where the bridal gifts were displayed, to find a dezen peop'e about her offering and each one sniilling. For a mo ment she hesitated, then passed forward, and lo! there was the pre cious white satin covered box, bear ing the prize name, it is true, but alas ’ below: “From the repairing department.” And even worse than all, resting on the blue cotton beside the pin, was an old bit of broken ear-ring returned by the conscientious firm.
