Some inquiry into the question of farm
mortgages is going to be made in this state
by the superintendent of the census. TIE
inquiry will be confined to the counties of
Barlow, Houston and Twigg. The super
intendent of the census says: Enquiries will
be addressed to the owners of mortgaged
real estate, and in some cases to the holders
of mortgages, to ascertain the amounts I'm
paid and the reasons for mourning the debts.
The answers will be strictly confidential,
and in no case will be revealed to any
private person or public officer outside of
the census Office, whose employees are all
sworn to preserve the secrecy of the infor-
nation" The information sought should be
be willingly and promptly furnished. 1t
will probably appear that Georgia farms are
not as heavily burdened with mortgages as
those of many of the northern states.

New Yorl's most successful heart and lung

was one day summoned to the bedside of a very
wealthy banker, who lived up in Connecticut
over 100 miles from New York city. The emf
nent physician was ushered into the sick man s
room as soon as he arrived. 1t took him just
five minutes to form his opinion, without resort
ing to scarcely any examination.
When the physician came out of the sick
room the brother of the banker said: WELL

That's what our physician here has told us,
but we didn't know but what there might be a

A Lost Opportunity.

Six men of us had come out of the mines in
Montana to take q train for the east, says the
New York Sun, but the train we intended to
hours late. The station was small one the
weather very bad, and after awhile one OF the
party went to the agent, who was also the tele-
graph operator, and asked how long before we
might expect the train.

You don'tl Well, then, find out!' exclaimed
the other

burg if the train has left there yet
III be - if do"
One man out with his gun and was going to
shoot, but two or three of us drew him away
and talked to him, and finally cooled him off.
The most solid argument we advanced was that
if he killed the operator we could get no news
of the train, and would be even worse off than
we were. This argument was what decided
him, and five hours later the train came along
and we got aboard We we're all seated to-
gether and had got fair start when some one
observed:
THAT operator had a narrow escape"
Yes, meant to shoot him, replied the man
who had pulled his gun. "but these gentlemen
argued that in case did we could not hear
from the train at ALL
''Thunderl'' gasped a third. "Why, I'm an
old operator myself, and had you shot him
was all ready to locate that train in five min-
utes'
Then may l be teetotally kicked to death by
jackass rabbits" groaned the would-be slayer,
aud he leaned back and nursed his disappoint-
ment, and would not speak to any of us for the
next three hours.

Women at the ahsater.

"Are the women playgoers of Chicago more
demonstrative than these of other cities?" was
asked of the manager of leading attraction
now playing here, says the Chicago Tribune.
He replied:
In their way they are. They are more
artistic in their exhibitions of delight than any
other city where l have beeu. The Chicago
woman applauds with the palms of her hands,
and i'll no half-hearted manner, either. You
can first see approval in her face. 1t glows like
a bed of Goals. 1t gathers and breaks into
laughter, and then it reaches her hands, and she
doesn't stop to think whether it pleases any
body or not. At the same time the Chicago
paygoing woman is not emotional. She doesn't
cry with ease.
1.-THE New York woman's manner of ap
prevail at a theater reminds me of the strokes
of boat club. She applauds not, apparently,
because she thinks it is approval but as a
matter of exercise. A New York girl told me
one day that she had strengthened the muscles
OF her arms by appauding. She fairly swings
her arms when she applauds.

A Big Offer Favorably Considered.


The Times Democrat of New Orleans
regards with good deal of favor the prop
osition of the Louisiana Lottery Company to
pay the state 81 900, 900 year for new char
ter, running twenty-five years. According
to the proposition the money is to go to the
charitable institutions of the state, and to
the public schools.
According to the Times Democrat the
public schools, asylums and hospitals of the
state are in deplorable condition. No
higher tax can be levied because the con-
stitutional limit has been reached. The
state debt is large, the interest upon il being
a heavy burden upon the people. There is
no probability, therefore, that the state can
do anything more for its asylums and
schools than it is now doing. The percent
age OF ilhteracy must continue as large as
it is at present and the inmates of the
asylums must suffer for the want Of &C
commodations and for necessary attentions.
This is certainly rather gloomy picture
which the Times Democrat presents, and
one not altogether creditable to the state.
VIII Gov. Nichols say that it is a correct
one2 He has the confidence of the better
element of the people in a marked degree,
and If he were to assert that the lottery
company was almost a necessity, there
would at once spring up strong sentiment
favorable to renewal of its charter.
OF course it would be pretty well under
stood that if the company were granted
twenty-five years more of life 1t would be
in position to make its own terms for an
other renewal of its charter at the end of
that period. A new lease of life virtually
means perpetual lease.
Does not the Times Democrat think that
the people of Louisiana contribute to the lot
terry company more than 81, 100000 yeara
If they do, they would not gain anything by
renewal of the company's charter. They
would lose largely. Year by year they
would be less able to provide for their
schools, asylums and hospitals, until finally
they would become SO dependent upon the
company that they would have to grant
about what it wanted 1t would be inter
esting to hear what the Times Democrat
has to say on the question whether the lot
terry company has thus far been helpful or
hurtful to the state,

A Natural Attitude.

young man was going up and down Gratiot
avenue the other day seeking purchaser for a
dead fox. which he had stuffed and mounted in
a very creditable manner, says the Detroit Free
Press He asked pretty stiff price for the or
nament, and no one would meet his figure. He
finally entered a saloon to show it Off and after
some talk he placed it on the floor and said:
IF there is aDother fox in the town put up in
a more lfe-like shape, III give $50 for him.
Gentlemen, look at the pose of that fox He is

Sugar Trust Protection.

On the floor of the House the other day,
during the consideration of the Mckinley
till. Mr.. Mills stated that the bill gave the
sugar refiners 100 per cent. more protection
than the Mills bill, which was passed by tho
last democratic House. Nobody on the re-
publican side denied this statement. If it is
true the republicans are taking good care
of the sugar trust.
The fact that the sugar trust certificates
have increased many millions OF dollars in
value since the Mckinley bill was reported
to the House is regarded by many as con-
firmatory of Mr. Mills statement If the
sugar refners have not secured just about
the amount of protection they want. why is
it that there is So much confidence in sugar
trust certificates!
Why is it that the sugar refners are
given about all the protection they demand.
while the sugar planters are denied all
protection, and are put OF with the promise
of bouptya Everybody knows that even
if the promised bounty is given it will be
removed very soon, because the paying of a
bounty to the producers of one agricultural
product will be productive Of dissatisfaction
among the producers of other agricultural
products Already the threat has been
made that if a bounty is paid to sugar
growers bounty will be demanded for the
growers of cotton, corn and other farm
products
Mr. Mckinley said the other day that if
his bill became a law the consumer would
be able to get sugar for at least 2 cents a
pound less than at present. II the refiners
are given the protection for which, it is al
legged, the Mckinley bill provides, the prob
ability is that there will bs little, if any,
reduction in the price of sugar. About all
the rehners are interested in the sugar trust,
and the trust will fix the price of sugar at
whatever it pleases.
1t would be a very remarkable state of
affairs if the government should give up the
$50,000,00O of revenue it gets from the sugar
duty and the people should not get sugar
any cheaper than at present Are the re-
publican leaders expecting large contribu-
tons from the sugar refiners for use in the
congressional campaign next falls

himself the personification of politeness. But
he isn't. 1t is a favorite practice of his to call

shortcomings in this respect, so the following
little joke on him will be duly appreciated by
