letter to the Chairman of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of the
Eighth Congressional District of
Georgia, in which he says he will
neither seek nor decline a nomina-

soon to meet, but if they don't give
it to him he will run anyhow. In

If THE Constitutional Convention
shall devise an instrument that shall
tend to confiscate the estates of all
those great land owners, who do not
cultivate their domains or put them
to the best use to which they can be
devoted, we shall support it with
all our influence. We use the term
"confiscate" advisedly; and in order
that there may be no misunderstand-
ing our meaning, we say we would
so tax the landed property OF Lux Il
Miller, General Beal, Don Juan Fos-
ter, and everybody else who owns
and holds lands for prospective in
crease of value and not for actual
cultivation and use, that they should
be compelled to sell them, and il
they did not sell them we would
have the Sheriff of the county sell
for them.-[Frank Pixley, in the

The Famine in China.

Recent letters from Pekin furnish de-
tails of the extremity to which the peo-
pie in that part of China are reduced by
want of food The missionaries there
and in Tientsin had given themselves to
the work of relieving the distress ac-
cording as the funds furnished enabled
them to do so, and out of their own
means had contributed 628 tacls ($872)
Other foreigners in the legation made
up 81 ,2l5 more, part Of which has been
sent to Shansi, to be distributed by the
Rev. Messrs. Richards, Turner and their
associates English missionaries), living
in Tai Tuen, the provincial capital. The
first of these writes as follows:
Il believe the suffering here is far
more terrible than it was in India last
year. People sell their lands, pull down
their houses to get little for their tim
Der; sell their wives and daughters; eat
roots, carrion, clay and refuse, to pro-
long their lives. And, if this was not
enough to move ones pity, the sight of
men, women and little children, lying
helpless on the roadside, or, if dead,
torn by dogs and magpies, ought to do
so. Even cases are currently reported
and believed where the children are be-
ing boiled and eaten. The cold has been
unusually severe, and no coal can be
purchased by these families. The peo-
pie, one mil ght say, are dying like flies.
They have onl y yellow earth mixed with
leaves Of various kinds of trees left,
with which to prolong their lives for a
few days. The wild fruits were collect
ed before they were ripe, and the stalks
of the sorghum are all that are left
them. Even water has failed in places,
making it necessary for the sufferers to
seek it at the distance of half days
journey The future is appalling, for
in many places the want of rain will
prevent the ground from producing, and
the people have consumed very much
of the grain for seed before sowing time.
| have been out in the country for a
week to visit the suffering villages in
this vicinity In one village one-half
were reported dead or sold, and although
this was not strictly correct, know of
one family in which only two remained
out of sixteen. Smaller families had
disappeared In some cases the dead
could not be buried through the weak
ness of the living | divided some of
my money to help in burying them. No
grain has been sown in many places,
and, therefore, there will, I fear, be six
months or more before crop can be
looked for Grain is already four times
the usual rates, and the exchange of
silver for copper cash is less than
usual"

WOman's Love Above All.

Recently, in western city, young
woman with babe at her breast walked
into the police station and asked for
lodging. She was thin and poor, and the
frozen snow hung in masses about the
skirt of her dress.
Il walked in from the country" she
said, when the usual question was asked
her. "My husband came in to look for
work, and as he did not come back, I
made up my mind that he fell In with
some of his old cronies; so / came to
look for him. Mother offered to keep
me, but l know that she has no more
than she needs for herself. l have
walked ten miles since breakfast. Can
| stay until daylight"
The officer said she could. As she
was passing through the corridor, she
caught sight of man standing behind
the iron bars. He was unshaven and
haggard, and his red eyes told the cause
of his being there.
why, Jim!"
The man glanced up; he brushed his
hands across his eyes, and his voice
trembled as he said:
s'How came you here, Martha?''
"Oh, Jim!" and the poor young wife
began to sob. II was afraid of this and
came after you. I knew you wouldn't
60 to do it of your own accord-but
them cronies, Jim-them cronies! l
knew what it would come to-
yes and the young fellows eyes
filled with tears; know it's so; but [
never knew it so we'll before But if
get out of this, I'll give you my word,
Martha, it's the last time It's the last
time-and you know that | have never
promised you that before.
The wife leaned against the bars and
let her tears flow for moment. Then
she Strengthened up and Immediately
walked to the desk.
How much does he owe?" she asked.
Three dollars and forty cents" the
officer replied.
The woman took from her pocket a
solitary fivedollar bill and paid the fine
without a murmur.
The door was opened and the young
man passed out, and in a moment was
marching down the street with the babe
on one arm, and his wife close by his
side.

[The text from which Shakespeare wrote his
Friends. Romans, countrymen! Lend me youl

TO bury Caesar, because the times are hard,
And his folks can't afford to hire an under
taker.
The evil that men do live after them,
In the shape of progeny, who reap the
Benefit of their life insurance.
So let it be with the deceased.
Brutus hath told you Caesar was ambitious.
What does Brutus know about it?
1t is none of his funeral. Would that it were
Here under leave of you l come to

He was my friend, faithful and just to me:
He loaned me S. once when was in pinch,
And signed my petition for postoffce.
But Brutus says he was ambitious.
Brutus should wipe off his chin.

Who broke rock Oh the streets until their ran.

Because it didn't cost anything and

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
Yet Brutus said he was ambitious.
Brutus is liar, and can prove it..
You all did see that on the Lupercal
thrice presented him kingly crown,
Which he did thrice refuse, because it did not
fit him quite.
Was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was
ambitious.
Brutus is not only the biggest liar in the coun-
try,
But he is horse thief of the deepest dye. Zap

You all do know this ulster?

1t was on summers evening in his tent,
With the thermometer registering 80 degrees
in the shade;
But it was an ulster to be proud Of
And it cost him 81 at Marcaius Swartzmeyer's,
Corner of Broad and Ferry streets, sign of the
red flag.
Old Swartz wanted $40 for it,
But finally came down to ST., because it was
Caesar!
Was this ambition? If Brutus says it was
He is even greater liar than Mrs. TiltOn!
Look! in this place ran Cassius' dagger thrO':
Through this the son of gun of BrutuS
stabbed,
And, when he plucked the cursed steel away,
Mare Antony, how the blood of Caesar followed
it! [Cheers. and cries of "Give us some

What Boys Should Be.
Home Arts.

1Oulc 3aFtb
A philosopher has said that true edu-
cation for boys is to teach them what
they ought to know when they become
men"
What is it they ought to know, then?
First. To be true-to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this. A man had bet
ter not know how to read-he had bet
ter never learn letter in the alphabet
and be true and genuine in intention
and in action, rather than being learned
in all sciences and in all languages, to
be at the same time false in heart and
counterfeit in life. Above all things.
teach the boys that truth is more than
riches, more than culture, more than
earthly power or position.
Second To be pure in thought, Ian
guage and life-pure in mind and in
body. An impure man, young or old,
poisoning the society where he moves,
with smutty stories and impure exam
pies, is moral ulcer, plague spot,
leper who ought to be treated as were
the lepers of old, who were banished
from. society and compelled to cry "Un-
clean, as warning to save others from
the pestilence.
Third. To be unsel6sh. To care for
the feelings and comforts of others. To
be polite. To be just in all dealings
with Others To be generous. noble and
manly. This will include genuine rev.
erence for the aged and things sacred.
Fourth. To be self-reliant and self
helpful even from early childhood. To
be Industrious always, and self-support-
ing at the earliest proper age. Teach
them that all honest work is honorable,
and that an idle, useless life of depen-
dence on others is disgraceful.
When boy has learned these four
things, when. he has made these ideas
part Of his being-however young he
may be, however poor, or however rich,
he has learned some of the most import
ant things he ought to know when he
becomes man. With these four pro-
perly mastered, it will be easy to find
all the rest.
