Beading the Inscriptions Uupcn the Tombs aDd the Memories it Kevived. Atlanta Constitution. If an old man wants to feel lone-j iaome, but just let bim visit an old graveyard, where he knew people in the long ago, and read the inscriptions upon the tombs and study over the people that these will call to mind. Brown and I went back to our old home with the full intention of staying a week, but everything was so ^ changed that we were glad to leave j in a day. As we passed along the roads we used to travel it was but j natural to ask for the folks we had j knowD, and we found bo often that | they were dead that we thought the, best place for us to see anything we j had ever known was in the graveyard; and there we went. Familiar names! were there and were about all we 8aw on our trip that was familiar. These names stirred up many memories?some pleasant and some bad. The good old people whom we had known and who caused no surprise at ftoding dead, these were remembered with feelings sadlv sweet, and we O- * ' lingered at their graves the longest.' i In some of the names we found those whom we had known as young and j romping youths, and now and then we would come to a baby's grave ^ where we^new that all its kin had moved away and left it all too lonely. We had lingered for a long while among these graves and were just; fixing to leave wfien we saw upon a newly erected stone the name? 1 Lucy Dawson." We knew Lucy and felt what a j mockery there might be sometimes in the glitter of these tombstones.j We knew her when she was baptized in the old pool at Hebron and we knew her when she was the pet of all the settlement, and we knew her father to be rich and knew that she 1 was raised as tender as a tiny flower, but we knew her ending, as we read, "Erected by her husband," we both L: at once muttered, "Mockery, mock- ! r eryl" Yes, I aaw Lucy when she came along the road moving to her new home soon after shs bad married John Dawson, and perhaps there j might be some good in telling her history. She was rosy and blooming j then, and she looked so happy when she palled back the wagon sheet to speak to me and Brown that it would j have took harder hearts than ever ours have been not to have wished them a happy life for the future. And for a while John did so well and made a most devoted husband, but; later, and sad it was, he got ac- j quainted with four on five rowdy | fellows aDd that association grew | stronger and stronger until it ended as I am going to teli. At first John met advances of these wild fellows timid ly and soldfy, but after a while he came to rate them as generous to a fault and to excuse their rowdy jk. ways. The associations grew from just an occasional hunt together, with now and then a meeting at the blacksmith's shop, to one of friendly attachment, and so familiar did John | become with these rowdies that his little wife took notice of it and resolved that she would stop it if she could. 1- \;V 1 * John promised at once to break off from these rowdy fellows when Lucy made mention of it, and be took her on his knee and kissed her, stroked her pretty hair and laughed at her for being scared that ever he j Get a Sta On And Save Endless Suffering which Winter ?< Brings. The most offensive of all diseases becomes more intense as cold weather approaches. In fact,1 jnany who have been under treat-, ment for so long, and during the | summer feel little discomfort from ; the disease, are almost persuaded , that fhpv have been cured. Hut i the first chilling blast of winter proves that the disease is still with them, and as the winter advances,! their Catarrh grows in severity, j Those who have felt only a slight; touch of Catarrh may be sure that j only cold weather is needed to de-' velop the disease. What appears to be only a bad cold will prove more difficult to cure than for-L merly, and will return with more; frequency, until before long the disease is fully developed. "For years I suffered from r. severe < case of Catarrh, and took several kinds " of medicines and used various local r.p- 1 plications, but they had no effect what- < ever. I was induced to try S. S. S. : (Swift's Specific) and after two months j I was perfectly well and have never felt any effects of the disease since. "B. P. McAllister, ' 1 "Harrodsburg, Ivy." u It is easy to see the importance 1 of prompt treatment for Catarrh. ( - J - would have anything to do with drinking whiskey or of forming any habits that wciald cause him to forget or neglect his young wife, and really John did believe everything that he said, for he was a good fellow, and this should the more impress my young readers with the danger that lurks in evil associations. More than a month had passed since John had made these promises to Lucy and she looked happier and sweeter than she had ever looked be fore, and new gates and pretty ornaments around his place spoke well in favor of John's new ways, or his "new leaf," as he called it, but cursed be the ties which bind to evil ways? the poison was there and the fruits would come. It came when John was at work in his new ground out of sight of his' house. He was whistling as he worked and was no doubt thinking of the sweet wife at home, when the rowdy fellows made their appearance on their way, by a near cut, over to a still not far away. They lingered with John until he stopped his work; and at last they all sat down on a log. The conversation was pleasant, the jokes were merry, and to make the story short, they passed around their bottle and John took a little? just* a little to be sociable?and then, as all who have ever handled whisky may know, it was easy enough to take a little more after the first. After the second round of the bottle, the rowdies had no trouble. They soon had John persuaded that he could slip over to the still with them and return without his wife ever knowing that he had been away. Matters thus understood, the whole crowd lit over the fence and were soon on their way through the woods to the still. At the usual hour Lucy had dinner ready and she blew the horn for John. While waiting for her husband's appearance she went into her glass, brushed her hair, primped a iittle and came out, smiling, to meet him when he came?but alas, he never came. She blew the horn again, this time long and loud, and then, she waited and watched, but never John came nigh. Again 6he blew and again she waited, but John had never come. She was frightened now and thought some tree or limb in the new ground had fallen on John, and quicker than I could write it, she had scouted like a deer and was standing on a big stump in the new ground calling: "John, oh, John! Where are you, John?" Then she searched every nook and corner in that new ground, but no John was there. Faint and exhausted, she threw herself upon the leaves in the corner of the fence, sobbing mournfully: "Ob, John, John; where have you gone?"' Poor Lucy! She lay in the corner of that fence till John and the rowdies did come and find her, and John, for the iirst time in his lite, was blind, staggering drunk, and for the first time in his life he was unkind to Lucy, and told her, in a drunken passion, that her oil father made his riches by selling whisky and making peach brandy. Those rowdies never had much trouble after that in getting John off to the still, and it was no great while till he spent the most of his time jhere, and with rowdies worse than these first ever thought of being. Lucy lost the bloom in her cheeks < and the sparkle of her eye passed away, till folks who knew nothing of her troubles said she was dyspeptic and that she didn't make her home happy. So matters were moving till one cold December night, when a few neighbor women had gathered in to see Lucy die. John was off at the still and had been off for a week, and only got home in time to hear the rt i Catarrh Those who get a start on the disease before the cold and disagreeable weather aggravates it, will find a cure less difficult. Catarrh increases in severity year !>v year, and becomes one of the most obx*j 1 J x.. .3 x UK suuaie una uei'p-s^uiru uuuuits. But it is equally important that the right remedy be given. All local applications of sprays, washes, inhalations, etc., can never cure Catarrh, for they dc a not reach the disease. Catarrh is in the blood, and only a blood remedy can cure it. Local appli. cations only reach theirritated surface; the right remeo.y must, oe taken internally. Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) is the right remedy for Catarrh. It ;ures the most obstinate cases by toiug direct to the cause of the trouble?the blood?and forcing nit. the disease. Those who have :net with so much disappointment from local treatment should throw iside their sprays, washes and inialing mixtures and take S. S. S. \ cure will result. Send for free >ooks.

G*. j^_iiTnnnr?nnnr>nnnrrvv'>rinnnr last words of his wife as she reached out her bands in a senseless manner and muttered: "Tell the folks around old Hebron that this is Lucy?the little, blueeved girl that they eo loved to pet. Lucy that was baptized by the spring at the old Church and who lived in the big white house in the forks. Tell them how Lucy? " She stopped for a moment and a shadow seemed to flit across her face, when she resumed: "Lucy, poor, poor Lucy--my father made his riches by selling whisky and running a still, and thus the little girl he loved so well must pass away." ? She was dead, and Brown and I knew the story, and as we looked upon the tombstone, "Erected by her VmabnTid " wo fiflid and Rt.ill BaV! "What mockery, what mockery." This was no new made grave. Lucy has been dead a long, long time, and I think that her going was not so hard, for she was laid beside her only little babe that seemed so lonesome here alone, but the tombsome was fresh and ic^lies a consideration that she should have found while here. We may feel too hard on John in this; I think we do, for he is an old man now and ofteb thinks of the blooming gill and of how she drooped till her poor thin hands were too weak to work and her spirits too low to ever raise a smile. So is life. We often save till after death the kindly acts that should come here. Brown and I are both suspicious that the present Georgia Legislature will make an effort to cut down the pensions of Confederate soldiers and widows. If they do, every monument that has been raised to the Confederate cause will point down to these and saj: "What mockerj! What mockery!" No Cure?No Pay. That is the way all druggists sell Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic for Chills ai d Malaria. It is simply Iron and Quinine in a tasteless form. Children love it. Adults prefer it to bitter nauseating tonics. Price, 50c Wh?rd is the Doctrine? Biltifcore San. What has become of our Monroe doctrine? We once refused to allow that any European power could acquire territory in this hemisphere; and Secretary Only informed Lord Salisbury in that wonderful dispatch about the Venezuelan boundary that England must expect to clear out from Canada and the West Indies. Our position was this: "European powers must keep out this western hemisphere, just as we keep out the eastern." But we are going into the eastern hemisphere by seizing the Philippines. We might dominate i i? i-i ? ? i ji _ one nemispnere, Dut we cau uaiuijr expect to lord it over both. The Monroe doctrine is not elastic enough to be stretched over the entire globe. When Germany one. day s?zes a province in southern Brazil we shall have no logical basis on which to rest a demand for her to clear out. It will simply be might against might. ? A B:y's Essay on Breath, A little boy in the North Side public school recently handed in to the teacher the following communication on ''Our Breath:"' "Our Brta'h is made of air. If it were not for our breath we would die. The breath keep3 goingthrough our liver, our lights and our lungs. Boys shut up in a room all day should not breathe, they should wait until they get out of doors. Air in a room has carbonocide in it. and carbonocide is poisoner than mad dogs. Once some men was shut up in a black hole in India, a carbonocide got into that there hole, and afore morning nearly every one of them was 3ead Girls wear corsets which squeeze their diagrams too much.

The war department will not allow the claim of the Agricultural and Mechanical society of $750, which is for damage done to the buildings at the fair grounds by the volunteer soldiers. The department has also suspended the payment of $250 for the use of the grounds and buildings. This latter, however, will be paid. The war with Spain will cost the people of the Uaited States in round numbers eighty million dollars. This is pretty expensive just for 101 days pleasure in seeing the Spaniards run.
