A Damper to Genius.?A North
Georgia farmer, who was possessed of
some means, entered the office of his
county paper and asked for the editor.
The farmer was accompanied by his
son, a lanky youth of 17 years?and
as soou as the editor, who was in his
secret sanctum, was informed that his
visitors were not collectors, he came
forward and shook hands.
"I came to get some information,"
explained the farmer.
"Certainly" said the editor, "and
you came to the right place. Be
seated."
The farmer sat on the end of the
table, while the son sat on the floor.
"This bov o' mine." he said, "wants
to go into the literary business, an' 1
thought you'd know whether there
was any money in it or not. It's a
. good business?ain't it?"
"Why?yes," said the editor, after
some little hesitation. "I've been iu
it myself for 15 years, and see what
I've got to."
The farmer eyed him from bead to
foot, glanced around the poorly furnished
office, surveyed the editor once
more, then, turning to his son, who
was still on the floor, said :
"Yo' git up, John, an' go home,
an' go back ter plowin'."?Atlanta

The Young Heir's Knowledge.?
She invited him to stop to supper, and
he was trying to appear easy and unconcerned,
while she was on her prettiest
behavior.
"Have you used the sugar, John ?"
inquired the mother in a winning
manner.
"John don't want no sugar," ejaculate/I

put the fourth spoonful of sugar into
his own coffee.
"Why not, my son?" inquired the
father, curiously, while John, in his
surprise, swallowed a bit of toasted
crust and nearly cut his throat open.
"'Cause he don't," explaiued the
heir, in an artful manner; "I heard
him tell Mary last night "
"You keep still," interrupted Mary,
in a hysterical manner, while the
young man caught his breath in
dismay.
"I heard him say," persisted the
heir, with dreadful eagerness, "that
she was so sweet that he shouldn't
never use no sugar any more?an' then
he kissed her, an' I said I'd tell, an'
Mary, she "
The young heir was lifted out of the
room by his ear, and the supper was
finished in moody silence.?Saturday

Business First.?Fussy Man (hurrying
into newspaper office)?I've lost
mv sneotanles somewhere, and I want
?J -? ,
to advertise for them ; but I can't see
to write without them, you kuow.
Advertising Clerk (likely to be general
manager some day)?I will write
that advertisement for you sir. Any
marks on them ?
Fussy Man?Yes, yes. Gold-rimmed

C. on inside. Insert it three times.
Advertising Clerk?Yes, sir; $1.50,
please.
Fussy Man?Here it is.
Advertising Clerk?Thank you. It
gives me, sir, great pleasure to inform
you, sir, that your spectacles are on
the top of your head.
Fussy Man?My stars ! So they
are. Why didn't you say so before ?
Advertising Clerk?Business before
pleasure, you know.
Fool Fox.?"When the pursuit of
wealth tempts you, my son," said the
sage, "remember the fable of the fox
that hungered for some wonderfully
fine grapes growing iu a garden, the
only enterance to which was through
a bole in the wall. It was so small
that he had to fast three days before
he could crawl through it. After be
had got inside and filled himself he
was too large to crawl back through
the hole, and he was compelled to fast
another three days before he could
make his escape from the garden. So
you see he went out as poor as he
went in."
"Yes," said the ambitious young

push them out through it? Then he
could have carried away enough to

Bryan's Daughter a Sunday
School Girl.?When Colonel Bryan's
oldest daughter was 4 years old she
was sent to Sunday school. The infant
class teacher talked to the children
ahout the death of Stephen.
The next day Mrs. Bryan went calling,
and was accompanied by her little
daughter. After several calls had been
made, the child inquired : "Mamma,
where are we going next ?"
"To see Mrs. Stevens," the mothei
replied.
"Oh, I am so glad that we are going
to see poor Mrs. Stevens," the little
girl said in a sympathetic tone.
"Aud why do you say poor Mrs
Stevens?"
"Why, mamma, don't you know
that they stoned Mr. Steven to death ?'
The veteran lawyer of Dover
Me., Ephraim Flint, who died recently
was onced liued by a county justice ol
the peace for contempt of court ic
telling the magistrate too bluntly whal
he thought of one of his decisions
Mr. Flint was not taken aback by the
justice's order to his clerk.
"All right." he said. "I have got a
note in my pocket against you which 1
have been trying to collect for the past
10 years, and I'll endorse the fine on
it. I never expected to get that much
and suiting the actious to his words, he
pulled out the note and made the endorsement.
Heading off Gossip?Noel Little?
I say, old man, can you keep a secret?

"WHAT WOULD JESUS DO ?"
CONTINUED FROM FIRST TARE.
"To begin housekeeping with. " finished
Stephen, coming to the rescue.
"Are you?" said the bishop. "I hope
you will invite me in to share. I know
what Felicia's cooking is."
"Bishop, dear bishop." said Felicia,
and she did not pretend to hide her
happiness, "indeed you shall always be
the most honored gu est Are yon glad ?''
"Yes. I am." replied the bishop, interpreting
Felicia's words as she wished.
Then he pansed a moment and said
gently, "God bless yon bothl" and went
his way. with a tear in his eye and a
prayer in his heart, and left them to
their joy
Yes; shall not the same divine power
of love that belongs to earth be lived
and snng by the disciples of the man of
sorrows and the bnrden bearer of sins 1
Yea, verily I And this man and woman
shall walk hand in hand throngh this
great desert of human woe in this city,
strengthening each other, growing
more loving with the experience of the
world's sorrows, walking in his steps
even closer yet becanse of this love,
bringing added blessings to thousands
of wretched creatures because they are
to have a home of their own to share
with the homeless. "For this cause,"
said our Lord Jesus Christ, "shall a
man leave his father and mother and
cleave unto his wife." and Felicia and
Stephen, following the Master, love him
with deeper, truer service and devotion
becanse of the earthly affection which
heaven itself sanctions with its solemn
blessing.
Now, it was a little after the love
story of the settlement became a part of
its glory that Henry Maxwell of Raymond
came to Chicago with Rachel
Winslow and Virginia Page and Rollin
and Alexander Powers and President
Marsh, and the occasion was a remarkable
gathering at the hall of the settlement.
arranged by the bishop and Dr
Bruce, who had finally persuaded Mr.
Maxwell and his fellow disciples of
Raymond to come on to be present at
this meeting.
Ttie Disnop mvitea mio me seLuement
hall meeting for that night men
out of work, wretched creatures who
had lost faith in God and man. anarchists
and infidels, freethinkers and no
thinkers The representatives of all the
city's worst, most hopeless, most dangerous.
depraved elements faced Henry
Maxwell and the other disciples when
the meeting began, and still the Holy
Spirit moved over the great, heaving,
selfish, pleasure loving, sin stained city,
and it lay in God's band, not knowing
all that awaited it Every man and
woman at the meeting that night had
seen the settlement motto over the door,
blazing through the transparency set
up by the divinity student. "What
Would Jesus.Do?"
And Her^y Maxwell, as for the first
time he stepped under the doorway,
was touched with a deeper emotion than
he had felt in a long time as he thought
of the first time that question had come
to him in the piteous appeal of the
shabby young man who had appeared
in the First church of Raymond at the
morning service.
Was his great desire for Christian fellowship
going to be granted? Would
the movement begun in Raymond actually
spread over the country? He had
come to Chicago with his friends partly
to see if the answer to that question
would be found in the heart of the great
city life. In a few minutes he would
face the people He had grown very
strong and calm since he first spoke
with trembling to that company of
workingmen in the railroad shops, but
now. as then, he breathed a deeper
prayer for help Then he went in. and
with the bishop and the rest of the disciples
he experienced one of the great
and important events of the earthly
life. Somehow he felt as if this meeting
would indicate something of an answer
to his constant query. "What would
Jesus do?" and tonight as he looked
into the faces of men and women who
had for years been strangers and enemies
to the church his heart cried out.
"0 my Master, teach thy church how
to follow thy steps better 1" Is that
prayer of Henry Maxwell's to be answered?
Will the church in the city respond
to the call to follow him ? Will it
choose to walk in his steps of pain and
suffering? And still over all the city
broods the Spirit. Grieve him not. 0

Southern Cotton Spinners Want Open Ports
in the East.
At a meeting of the Southern Cotton
Spinners' Association in Charlotte
last Thursday, between 50 and 60
mills being represented, the following
preamble and resolutions, offered by
D. A. Thompkins and seconded by R.
B. Miller, were unanimously adopted :
Whereas the increasing manufacturing
interests of the United States from the
nine billions dollars value in 1890 to twenty
billion (estimated) in 1900, makes it
plain that our domestic markets can no
longer take all our manufactured products,
and
Whereas the Southern cotton manufacturing
interests alone have increased from
the product in 1890 of one and one-half
million spindles to five million (estimated)
in 1900, and the development of trade
for our surplus American made cotton
goods has been largely in China and
other Oriental countries; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we urge upon the president
of the United States and our senators
and representatives in congress the
following measures:
1. The preservation of the integrity of
the Chinese empire, of all of our treaty
rights with that empire and the maintainance
of an open door policy in China with
all nations.
2. Vigorous prosecution of the Philippine
war to a conclusion and the restoration
of order in that territory by our government..
3 Construction, without delay, of an
isthmian ship canal.
4. Construction, of a cable from the Pacific
coast to Hawaii, Japan, China, the
Philippines and oilier Oriental points,
Resolved, That we consider that a
large degree of the importance of the last
three items lies in the value of these
measures in accomplishing the first item
and in protecting our trade in China and
other eastern countries.
Resolved, That wo recommend, if it be
necessary, the co-operation of our government
with the governments of lOngland
and Japan to preserve and protect a
common trade interest and treaty rights
for unrestricted commerce in China ami
other eastern countries.
Resolved, That we recommend to cou
gress such revision of our navigation
laws as will foster the development of our
merchant marine service to an extent to
handle our expanding foreign commerce.
Resolved, That we recommend to congress
such increase of our navy as will
make it fully adequate to protect our commerce
in all stas and all parts of the
world.
Resolved, That printed copies of thase
resolutions be sent to the president of the
United States and to our senators and representatives
in congress and to the press. |

"It is the desire of the Kentucky
Confederates to make the reunion of

Louisville, the most delightful and
charming of all the meetings ever held
by that organization, and to give Kentucky
hospitality increased renown.
To that eud it is important to know
the name of every Confederate iu the
south. We send you herewith a blank,
upon which please enter the names
and postolfice addresses of all the
members of your camp and mail to us.
It will be the especial aim of the people
of Louisville to make adequate and
complete arrangements lor the boys
who were in the trenches, and to see
that no one shall depart from Louis
ville who has not been provided with
a comfortable home and been suitably
entertained. To do this we must have
the co-operation of the officers of every
Confederate camp, and we ask you to
help us in this matter. We shall hope

service rendered. J
The propositions we make herein are {
to all responsible individuals, in each and
every locality. There is no monopoly in
the matter. Because an individual re- ?

is no reason why another should
not also canvass in that neighborhood. ?

stated, have them counted.

NEW SUBSCRIBERS. After that the I
value of the premium is in proportion to (
the number of names returned.

A TIMELY NOTE OF WARNING! ?
THE following is a copy of a circular |
letter which is being sent out by one
of the largest mercantile establisinents
of the great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire:
Dear Sir : During the past few months
the losses sustained by merchants,
through fires, in that part of the country
tributary to the St. Louis market, have
been so unusually large and disastrous as
to suggest to us the advisability of addressing
our customers upon the IMPORTANCE
of keeping fully insured
at all times. Within the past few
weeks four of our own customers have 1
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance, or so nearly so, that
the amount carried was totally inadequate
to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, when the fire came, it
was found that policies for considerable jj
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make a second mistake of this kind, but
the commonest feature of the first, is
the wiping out of the results of years of
labor and thrift and leaving those who .
commit the folly of railing to insure,
in a position whereby they have to face the
world in a condition far worse than
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
4*? :?' OA ?t an mi a (' laKnr utuav
jriilia HI +.U JTaiJJ w? ICU/WI onvpw J
within a few minutes, with no other legacy
than smoke and ashfs and vain regrets
for what might have been prevented by
a little foresight! To the wideawake,
conservative business man, the expense
incident to keeping his goods fully insured
is just as legitimate and necessary as
that of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences of failure
to insure for five, ten or twenty
years, but we are just as certain to be brought
face to face with it, sooner or 1
later, as we stay in business; therefore, J
we say to you, if you are not now in- (
sured, attend to it before the sun goes
down !
With kindly assurances of regard for r
our mutual interests, we are,
Very sincerely, your friends, ?
