A TOTAL ABSTAINER.

If drink what is called moderate
ly, | may easily be led, like many
others, to drink to excess; but if
drink none at all there cannot be the
least possible danger.
If drink very little | shall have
little to give up, and shall find the
change SO much easier to make.
If | take little, others who fol
low my example, being weaker, OF
not 50 careful as myself may be led
to drunkenness; but if | entirely alb
stain, set an example which is safe
for everybody to follow.
If drink but little and keep a
small stock for my friends in the way
of hospitality, it will cost a consider
able sum of money; but abstinence is
"a cheaper system, and tends to pro-
mote economy in all over whom
may exercise influence.
If | drink intoxicating liquor at all,
| virtually praise the liquor; but if |
abstain, | raise protest against it.
If | am ever so moderate, | am
identified with the drinking party and
the drinking system; but if / abstain,
| connect myself with those who are
working to save the country from its
greatest foe.
If | take my glass, cannot hearth
ly reprove the drunkard nor recon-
mend my own example to him with
effect but if am a teetotaler, | can
do so with confidence and a hope OIL
success?
If | take but little, | am one re.
moved from perfect sobriety but if
take nothing stronger than water
milk, or tea, shall always be per
fectiy sober.
For these reasons | have made VI
my mind to be total abstainer.-

A MEAN MAN.

Sometimes | wonder what a mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed, says Burdette in the Hawkeye.
When he turns out the light and lies
down. When the darkness closes in
about him and he is alone, and he is
compelled to be honest with himself.
And not "A bright thought, not gen
erous impulse, not manly act, not "A
word of blessing, not Il grateful look,
comes to bless him again. Not a
penny dropped into the palm of pow
erty, nor the balm of a loving word
dropped into an aching heart no sun
beam of encouragement cast upon a
struggling life; the strong hand Of
fellowship reached out to help some
fallen man to his feet-when none OF
these things come 10 him as the "God
bless you" of the departed day, how
he must hate himself. How he must
try to roll away from himself and
sleep on the other side of the bed
When the only victory he can think
of is some mean victory, in which he
has wronged a neighbor. No wonder
he sneers when he tries to smile
How pure and fair and good all the
rest of the world must look to him
and how cherries and dreary anC
dusty his own path must appear
Why, even one lone, isolated act Of
meanness is enough to scatter crumbs
in the bed of the average and ordi.
nary man and what must be the feel
ings of man whose whole life is Civ.
en- up to mean acts When there is
so much suffering and heartache anC
misery in the world anyhow, why
should you add one pound of wicked
ness or sadness to the general bur.
den? Don't be mean, my boy. Suf
fer injustice thousand times rather
! than commit it once.

A SENSE OF HONOR.

There is little doubt that the thing
which most needs to be preached to
this generation of Americans, by
ministers of the Gospel, By both cler-
zeal and lay instructors of the youth,
by all who have public influence or
private authority, is a sense of honor.
1t must be shown and insisted upon
that every position in life where one
person is employed by another to do
a certain work imposes an obligation
to fulfill the duties of the place with
an honorable and disinterested re-
gard for the interests of the employer.
1t must be shown that this view of
employment applies to the cook, the
errand-boy, the cashier, the legisla-
tor, the Governor, the President.
This is trite and apparently simple
and perhaps somewhat stupid view of
the opportunities of Smart" and
young American of our
day, but unless this commonplace
view of responsibility is laid hold of
our country we will not say that our
society will go to pieces, but we will
say that our calamities viii increase
and that we will get into troubles and
not soon out of them, compared with
which the dangers and distresses of
the past will seem almost insignif-
cant.

SENATOR'S GARLAND AND BUTLER

Senator Garland is an incorrigible
misehief-maker, and his fun is not
confined to the seclusion of the cloak
/ rooms. Butler, of South Carolina is
another mad wag in the Senate, and
he and Garland are constantly play
ing jokes, more or less outrageous, on
each other. Not long ago Garland
hit Butler pretty hard-that is to say
he got a very good one on him; and
Butler ''laid for the Senator from
Arkansas" Knowing Garland's
fondness for candy he procured some
caramels and also some cubes of
brown soap; which, when wrapped in
thin tlssurc paper, precisely resem-
bled, to the eye, the caramelsl But
Ter knew that if he tried to put the
cubes of soap off on Garland he would
fail, as the latter was of course on the
alert so far as he was concerned. So
Voorhees, of Indiana, who sits next to
Garland, chosen for the confederate.
Said Butler to Voorhees,, "Here are
two genuine caramels-these others
are cubes of soap. Go to your seat,
lay the soap cubes on your desk, eat
the genuine caramals, put your trust
in Providence, and say nothing"
Voorhees, did as he was told. Gar
land observed the cubes on the desk.
and saw that Voorhees, was eating
something with an evident relish.
"Hello."1 said Garland, "what are
you eating?" 1--WE got cold, and
I'm eating some candy" replied Vor-
hees, very much absorbed in some
papers in his hands. Garland looked
at the counterfeits wistfully for a mo-
ment. "Hum," he said finally, as he
picked one up, Give got something
of cold myself" and he popped the
piece of soap into his mouth. There
was crunching of his jaws-he saw
thathe was caught. Voorhees, watched
him out Of the tail of his eye, as did a
dozen others of the old boys sitting
around. Garland knew he was I'M
der fire but he was determined not
to finch. After chewing his soap
for a moment he looked up at Vor-
hees with the inimitable air of inno-
cent earnestness that is characteris-
tic of him, and softly asked: "Do
you eat many Of these things when
you have a cold? :" AS Garland kept
on chewing an almost imperceptible
strip of lather formed on his lips,
Voorhees, became alarmed and went to
Butler: ''The fellow is actually eat
ing that stuff Why, it will kill him,
won't itY' IN oo-o," drawled But
Ter, 81 don't reckon anything will
kill that man." Garland was game.
He finished his soap, and no man
could say that he looked as if he
didn't enjoy it.

The discovery has been made that
there is nothing more deadly than the
seal skin sacque, and the best medi-
cal authorities recommend that it be
abandoned by ladies as wrap for gen
eral use, as it is the cause of colds,
consumption and death. When an
indulgent husband now volunteers to
buy his better half seal skin sacque,
his offer will be declined without
thanks, as she will jump at the con
clusion at once that he wants her to
be an angel. and has his eye on her
successor. ..-.e

Nose Eaten of.

A young man named John Nayes,
living near here, had an eating can
Ger on his face, which had eaten
away his nose, part of his cheek, and
extended up nearly to his eye. 1t
was one of the most angry eating
sores that | had ever seen. His throat
finally became involved to such an
extent that he could only swallow
liquid food. After using all the rem
edies without checking the ravages OF
the eating cancer, his general health
was broken down, he was confined to
his bed, and thought it to be only
question of time about his death from
the cancer. | put him on Swift's
Specific as last resort, and he began
to improve with the first dose. His
general health improved at once, and

MARRIED IN THREE COUNTIES.

The following item, dated Dalton,
Ga, January I'd, is going the rounds
of the press; edward Pickens and
Miss Jennie Allen eloped last night,
and applied to Rev. Silas Jasper to
marry them. AS they had no Ii
cense, and the bride was clearly I'M
der age, the preachers ingenuity
served him to make his liability for
violating the marriage difficult of
proof. They went to point where
the counties of Gilmer, Gordon and
Murray join and with each party
standing in a different county, and
the preacher astraddle of a county
line, the ceremony was performed.
The question now is, which county
