ROCKEFELLER AND TAFT WILL
BE DRAWING CARDS AT AUGUSTA.
Augugta, November 16.?Indications
are that the winter tourist season
at the Bon Air Hotel will be
better this year than ever before.
The big hostelry will boast several
"drawing cards." John D. Rockefeller,
the world's richest man, has
reserved accommodations, while
Judge Wm. H, Taft, President-elect
of the United States, will spend two
months of the cold seo?on I" a
tage on the sand hills, dining at the
Bon Air. Among the hotel clientele

rt Worked All Might.
One day a barber's shop in Liverpool
bad but ono empty chair. A man wearing
a very big hat and walking with a
great deal of swagger, entered, bung
his hat on a peg and then, drawing n
revolver, turned to the idle men and
said:
"I want a shave?Just a common
have. I want no talk. Don't ask
mo If I want my hair cut or a shampoo.
Don't speak of the weather or
politics. If you speak to mo. I'll
hoot"
He took the chair, held the revolver
across his legs and was shaved with
promptness and dispatch.
When he got up he returned the
ahooter to his pocket, put on his hat
and after a broad chuckle to the
cashier said: "That's the way to keep
a barber quiet. lie didn't utter a
(word."
"No, sir; he couldn't."
"Couldn't?"
"No, sir; he's deaf and dumb."?Liverpool

. ^ Woary Widowhood.
The death of the husband not only
I lights the life of a Bengali widow,
but makes tho rest of her existence a
IHtato or unmitigated. misery and privations.
She is required to fast on
every eleventh day of the moon, when
she is debarred from all sorts of food
j and drink for twenty-four hours. Her
sufferings from thirst on hot days ol
summer aro extremely painful, but
she must go through them. The widow
must live on one meal a day and
eschew meat and flsb. She must renounce
ornaments and all sorts of luxuries.
The idea of such a state of
misery of his widow keeps n man
from hazardous enterprises, not because
ho is afraid to die, but because
his death means so much misery to his
wife.?Kant Indian Mirror.

"Why not call It 'Home?'" she said
after a long look.
" nomo?* Why?"
"Because there's no place like It,"
she replied meekly.?Glasgow Times.

"One of oar early lawyers had a
murder case to defend," said a Montana

to paste on u clipping with Ills pen. ,
"yes, the great fault of newspaper eon !

Into the editorial sanctum.
"Misspelled, unpunctuated, written
on both sides of the sheet, Illegible, un

Just then the office boy came in with
that dictatorial and autocratic manner '
ho has and demanded more copy, and
the editor handed him the love letter
ho had just written to his sweetheart.

Queen Caroline's Pastime.
Queen Caroline, wifo of King George
IV. of England, with whom she was
on the worst possible terms, Is described
in "The Diary of a Lady In
Waiting," written by Lady Charlotte
Bury. The queen seems to have tried
witchcraft on the kiug. Lady Charlotto
writes on ono occasion: "After
dinner her royal highness made a wax
figure, as usual, and gave it an amiable
addition of largo horns, then took
three pins oui of her garments and
stuck them through and through and
put the figure to roast and melt at the

have to do with this t could have
died of lnughlng. She Indulges In this

Fickleness In Penmanship.
Speaking of check signatures and
forgery, a downtown paying teller re- '
marked: "One of the most peculiar '
points In our business is ono little com- '
ptvhended by the public. I laosn the
embarrassment caused by the man
whose signature Is seldom the same, or
nearly so. two weeks in succession.
"This fickleness Is not intentional. It 1
is in almost every case tcmpernmcn- '
tnl. The man guilty of It is generally '
nervous and not infrequently is greatly '
lacking in stability of character. At ,
times you, as a layman, would hardly '
believe it possible that Ills signature
ou two different checks was the work
of the sauic hand.
"Of course wo conic to know these
cases in titue. and there are always
certain characteristics in a person's
handwriting which the expert can detect
and which go far to convince.
Nevertheless the changeable signature I

peril."- New York Globe.
