What Parents Fear.

Many persons-especially parents
object to many quack nostrums as
likely to engender or encourage q
love for strong drink. They are
right. Better die Of disease than OF
drunkenness. The use Of Parker's
Tonic does not involve this danger.
It not only builds up the system,
curing all ailments OF the stomach,
liver and kidneys. but it stimulates
without Intoxicating aud absolutely
cures the appetite for liquor. apr.

"He told the truth. He laij 4aeents

Okie, commission merchant, when
asked il eggs Lad been selling at that
price. "Tho warm weather early in the
season started the hens, and eggs came
in SO freely that the market was very
weak: A good, many got frightened
and sold OUT. gI,ein the weather came
around cold again, and stopi'ea the sup

large, OF course those who had held
their stocks made some money. In fact
eggs were 10 scatce the first Of the week
that ID not know how We would have
lived if we had not received o supply by
couple Of German steam

ter than the American. Here bushel
of lime is Stacked with eight or nine pals
of water; the water is drawn off, and
the eggs are packed in it. The
lime water closes the pores in the
shell and excludes the air. The eggs
will then keep two or three years. But
the white of the egg gets watery, and,
besides that, the liners do not pickle
the eggs until they are afraid
that they will spoil. Out of L..
600 barrels of lined eggs received
here only 200 will be gilt edged. The
German process leaves the white in
such a natural condition that the i'm
ported eggs arc frequently sold here ~
fresh ones by retailers. The onlsy t!:;nt
to prevent it is the fact that these pre-
served eggs cannot be boiled. The.

every other respect they are as gosa o.

"How mnch duty do you pay ol

"The American hen is wholly unpro

An Exciting Scene in Court
From the Msosn, Ga, Telegraph and Messen-

eer:
A singularly dramatic incident ee.
Cured Friday near midnight III t1ts SUI
perior court room at Waynesboro, dur
ing the trial Of the Rogers brothers for
the killing Of the Symses-father and
sen.: The killing occurred at htcRean's
station in Gctober last; Eminent colll>

and defense, for both pattie- were
prominent end wealthy. The evidence
closed and the speaking began Friday
morning, continuing all during tae day.
When the court assembled after tea the
seats and the aisles within the faf were
crowded with ladies, while without d
dense throng Of men filled up the audi
torium. Il was before this assembly
that Mr.: Twiggs began his argument
at 8 o'clock. Twiggs is an eloquent
speaker; practiced in did noted for bis
6raAorical graces:: In the edsirss
of his three hours adj
dress he at one time fufcrtesl IN the
most feeling manner to the courage Gid
devotion of woman. Tho hour, the oc-
casion, the audience and tho dim light,
from which the rapt faces were bent
1rof .bin,, al combined to form sur
rounding we'll sslcrlated to inspire the
orator to his greatest effort. He closed
his address upon the women as follows;
"At tho battle of Gettysburg Gen.
Pickett was'erdered to begin the charge
which was to hlake him famous. As he
vert into the terrible battle, his young
bride on hiiGarsebaek, followed him.
When the hail of deati' was Beating
down men on all sides, and the fflvrg-,
}tE shot and shell mingled their fierce
screaiIiss will the tnoans and cries of the
mangled. Picket snhlenly found him
self in the presence of his wbe:. In nj
agony of fear for her safety, he Cried
out to her as she sat cool and collected
as veteran, Go back! Go back!
For Gods sake go back to the rear!;

the hour Of danger . wifo's place is Of

At this moment through the court.
room there rang onie! Wihf thrilling cry,
which nearly lifted the excited throug
to its feet. 1t was the old rebel fell,
heard upon hundred battle fields and
never to be forgotten. A deep silencs
followed. All eyes were turned toward
the outer Circle; Then Judge Roney's
cold voice was heard bidding the sher.
iff to arrest the offender. 4 hlatt was
seen lodging through the crowd and
the judge continued: "The man who is
leaving is probably the one wanted"
"No, judge" exclaimed voice slow.
ly, II am the man." The speaker stood
in the aisle with folded arms, quietly
contemplating the bench.
Il shall have to fine you $40, then,
for disturbing the court"
every we'll your honor, J. will pay the
money" said the man without hloving,
"but I meant no disrespect, / was q
confederate so1dief at Gettysburg and
just could not help from hollcring."
The ladies present sprang to their
feet, and in an instant the money
was made up and paid to the clerk.
The involuntary yell of the old soldier,
was an irresistible tribute to woman
hood. Had the fine been ten times as
large he would not have suffered.

There is no end to the folly of the

don In 1899 forty-six esquires were made
knights. and were called knights of the
Bath. because they had watched and
bathed during the night preceding, and
they wore on the occasion long coats
trimmed with white fur, and had white
laces hung about their shoulders.
From that time it was usual for kings to
create knights of the Bath at
the coronation Of themselves or
their queens, the birth or mar
riage of princes or prinoesses, upon the
eve of starting upon foreign military
expeditions, and after gaining battle
or taking town. At the coronation
of Charles II. sixty-eight knights of the
Bath were made; but the order was
then neglected and discontinued, till IN
1928 George I. revived it by letters

that the order should consist of a soyer.
