UNDER A CRAZY QUILT.

He slept and dreamt that the kangaroo
Had given fancy ball,
The elephant came with the festive gnu,
Tie mouse with the ostrich tall,
A funny giraffe, that did nothing but laugh,
Dropped in with centipede;
And a cricket and flea that had just been to
tea,
Waited round with remarkable speed.
A wasp and humble bee had chat
Just over his little nose;
And boa constructor upon the mat,
Dressed up in his Sunday clothes.
A crow and raccoon, in a fire balloon,
Paused over his bed TO sing,
And a neat armadllo crept up on his pillow
To dance the highland fling,
Then all, ere they left, made graceful bow,
And out in the moonlight sped,
Except pOnderous brindle COW,
Which stopped to stand ON its head.
The little boy woke, and grinned at the joke;
Sprang out of his bed with tilt;
81 ear dream it all over" said he, "while
they cover
Me up with crazy quilt"

"SHAKY."
The Tag Methods Employed
by Mercenary Men.

1t is notable fact that the people of At.
lanta and elsewhere are beginning to be
thoroughly convinced that worthless COM
pounds become "shaky" at all new innova
tons, while an honest preparation never
tears opposition, We do not propose to
"wipe out" others, as the field for operation
is large, and we accord to one and all the
same privileges we enjoy. We are not so
far lost to business principles as to denounce
any other remedy as a fraui, or imitation, or
as containing vegetable poison, the effects
of which a.e horrible to contemplate. The
alarm need not be sounded, for there is
ample room for all declining anti-potash,
pine.top slop water compounds.
If one bottle of B. B, B. is more valuble
in effects than half a dozen of any other
preparation, we won't .get mad about it. If
ten bottles of B. B. cures case of blood
poison which others could not cure at all, it
only proves that b. B, B. is far the best
medicine.

Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
Can / venture on the incident here
that throws an inside light on jour
nalism
AT two o'clock on the morning of
General Stephens death an editor of
the Constitution, who, with two ste
nographers, had prepared the nara
tive Of the night, was with the watch
ers in the blue room Of the mansion.
The Constitution had to go to press
at $3.50 to the minute. 1t was not be-
lieved that Mr.. Stephens would die
before that hour. Consequently the
narrative had been written in the
present tense. If death should occur
before the paper was put on the press,
there were perhaps a hundred places
in the sOtory where the past tense
would have to be substituted. A force
of proof-readers sat with the proof
before them, every contingent point
marked. Thirty printers sat at their
desks awaiting orders. The telephone
between the mansion and the office
was open, and the night editor sat
with his phone at his ear.
AT 1923 DR.. Steiner, rising from his
knees with reverent face, said, "He
is dead"
Before the whispered words had
left the room, the word "dead" flew
along the telephone wires and reached
the listening night editor. Before
the watchers in the parlor knew that
the great soul had taken its flight a
dozen proof-readers were blowing
through slips with swift pencils !;
thirty printers were clipping the
moorings that held the present to the
past, and in just seven minutes the
press was throwing off the story of
the life and death of Georgia's martyr
statesman.

10000 Bottles

of B. B. B. have been sold to parties living
inside the corporation of Atlanta since it
was started two years ago!
Why this wonderful sale of new re-
medy in so short time with so little adver
Using?
1t must be confessed that it is because B.
B. B. has proven itself to possess merit in
the cure of blood skin and kidney diseases
Hundreds of home certificates attest the
fact of our claim that in Atlanta aud many
other points B. b. b, are "on top" and will
stay there. Many persons desire TO know
how the B. B. B. acts on the system. By
entering the circulation, it modities the
vitated blood gobules, increases the red
coIpuslces, antagonizes all poison, vitalizes
and regenerates the tagging forces, furnishes
the pabulum for rich, new blood, eliminates
all poison through the secretions, and in.
creases the appetite, while, by its wonderful
action upon the pores of the skin, the kid
neys, liver and glandular system, all efiete
and impure matter is speedy conducted
from the body, leaving the blood pure, fresh
and healthy.
By its magical Alternative powers, B. B. b.
unloads the blood of all impurities, unlocks
the liver, arouses all secretions, restores ma.
ture to its normal condition, unclouds the
troubled brain, clears and beauties the com.
plexion, cheers the respondent, strengthens
the feeble, Gains the disturbed nerves, and
induces quiet and peaceful slumbers. 1t
has been in use over twenty-fv years as a
private prescription in the south,
1t is no far.fetched, foreign found or

is scientific and happy combination of re-
cognized vegetable blood poison agents,

Ashes for Fruit.

Save all the ashes on the farm for
the orchard. 1t is of far more value
to the fruit-tree than stable manure !;
indeed one load of ashes amounts to
more than five loads of stablemanure.
Keep this in mind, and carry the
ashes to the orchard, and spread I'M

up against the chimney corner.
