GOOD FORM.
Something That should Be Studied BY
Every Fashtonable Man.

There is q vast deal more difference be-
tween good form" and fashion" than
most people imagine. and there are many
who labor under the Misrepresentation
that form" is synonymous with style.
The distinction between them lies in the
fact that whereas good form involves per-
feet and correct taste combined with 3
complete absence of exaggeration and
affectaiion, fashion" and style" do not.
The latter are often tainted by vuigarity
and by the loudness of their appeals to
the attention of the public, whereas good
form implies quiet refinement and
elegance. lack of all ostentation and
violent contrasts and an adaptation of
fashion to ones needs and ideas instead Of
any subservience thereto. When good
form is allied to originality it becomes
what the French call chic"
Good form" is by no means confined to
dress or appearance. The use of the ex.

demands sufficiently to prevent your be-
coming CONSPICUOUS by openly revolving
against 1t and by going to the other ex-

As an illustration of the manner in
which fashion should be forced to become
subservient to the character of the sur.
roundings, l may instance the etiquette
with regard TO walking sticks. Ia London

man should carry either cane or an
umbrella, and to be seen walking without
one is not merely breach of good form,
but IN certain continental cities Is inter
preted in a manner exceedingly disgcst-
Ing- In wall street and in the other bush
ness portions of New York the fashion
undergoes a modification. 1t is contrary
to etiquette there that the cane or ufn-
breiia should accompany its owner when
he goes out to luncheon or to make
business call in the neighborhood. In
fact it is not the correct thing to carry
cane during business hours.

A Wedding of Long Ago.

A queer wedding was solemnized in the
month of October 1884, in Alsatia The
Prince of Nassau-Saarbrucken gave his
twelve-year-old son in marriage with lady
of high nobility, a@Countess Won Mont
barre, eighteen years old. 1t was stipu-
lated that the young lady should return to
her parents until the prince became full
grown. Splendid festivities were carried
on at the wedding. The whole neighbor-
hood, and especially all the princely courts,
were invited. The chases, excursions and
banquets lasted three days. The twelve
year-old boy shed tears from morning till
evening, and was furious to be the object
of general attention and curiosity. He
avoided his bride and pushed her away
when she came near him.
At the ball he refused to dance with his
spouse. They had to threaten to beat him
if he continued to cry and promise him
candy If he took his spouse to the minuet
dance. His father undertook to console
him by showing him large picture book
in which was illustrated a wedding process
sion. AS soon as he saw it he closed the
book and exclaimed angrily: II don't want
to know anything about weddings. They
are too tiresome, and here in the picture
the bride with the long nose looks just like
mine. "-Troy Times.

came up and caught him. They pulled
him out, all covered with mud and shiv-
ering with cold.
Poor old man, he was then seventy
years oldl
They condemned him to death and
sent murderer into his cell to kill him.
But the old man looked so fierce and ter
rible that the murderer stopped. Marius
shouted, ''Dare you kill Caius Marius. "
His voice must have been like a fog
horn, for it scared the murderer so that
he broke and ran. They couldn't get
anybody else to go in.
Awoman who had been an enemy of
Marius took pity on him in his distress.
The centuries roll by, nations come
and go, thrones reel and fall, creeds rise
and perish-but the heart of womanhood
is ever the same ; il is the refuge of the
friendless; the gentle minister to the
bruised body and to the tortured mind !
By the aid Of this good woman he
escaped. Friends led him to the sea-
shore, and he found ship and sailed
away to other lands. He was tossed
about from place to place for a long
while. He came very near to falling
into the hands of his foes many times.
But he escaped every snare and never
lost hope that he would come out all
right in the end.
Sure enough, after awhile his friends
began to gain in Rome. He heard the
news and at once went back. He Joined
forces with his friends, and after some
bloody fighting with his enemies, he pre-
vailed. He again entered Rome, but
disgraced his victory by cruelty and
murder. He killed many of the aristo-
Gratis who had been killing his friends
and who had been trying to kill him.
He did all he could to humble their
pride.
He was again elected Consul, the
highest office within the gift Of his peo-
pie. In seventeen days afterwards he

the capitalists would rule this coun-

No wonder they made haste to
shut down the windows!
One more thing about Mr.. Jack
son and | am done. In 1871, the
second Congress opened. Genera
Anthony Wayne (who was not born
in Georgia at alb claimed that he
was elected in place of this James
Jackson. Jackson denied the asser-
ton. He claimed that Wayne was
elected by the grossest frauds. He
made out his case so completely that
the House decided against Wayne
unanimously.

have to be strong, however, as the
Speaker had it in his power at one
time to secure the passage of a free
coinage measure, and declined to do
so simply because he would not risk
the loss of the esteem of these same

Games of Primitive Races.

The games Of primitive races are chiefly
confined to children; the business of life
among uncivilized people is so hazardous
and difficult that they can spare no energy
for amusement. Even their boys and
girls, with plenty of time on their hands,
only find diversion in mimicry of adult
occupations. The men of Australian tribes
rely upon capture to obtain their wives,
and so the lads, armed with miniature
boomerangs and spears, play at carrying
off the lasses. Just as there is no more
popular toy in our nurseries than box OF
bricks, so the Eskimo children construct
little huts of snow-the recognized build
ing material in that community

Close Up! No Stragglers!


Please say to our brethren that
while Mr.. Watson is in Washington
fighting our battles there that we
have no less to do here; that they
should see to it that there are Peo-
pies party candidates for all the
county offices, from constable up, in
every county in the State, and make
hard fight for them. The time is
not long before the January cleo
tons. The stakes are so great
that "our boys'' can afford to do the
hardest campaigning they have yet
done. In fact, they cannot afford to
do anything else. If we can expect
to do anything, we must first get
possession Of the county offices, then
State, before we can ever hope to
get possession of the national gov
eminent.
Therefore let every man who be-
lieves IN the principles that we are
advocating measure up to his full
duty.
Each and every one of US has an
individual responsibility in this strug
gle, which is only measured by our
ability.
No Peoples party man should
shirk his duty in this hour Of trial !;
in this hour when men are being
tested. No reformer should expect
another man to do his share Of
the fighting. Every man of us has
his hands full. Therefore the man
who shirks his part Of the work
may know that it will 60 undone.
If we would win, we must work,
work, work. Work without ceaslng
until the last ballot has been counted
in the January election.
Ultimate victory will depend upon
ourselves. If we are vigilant and
tireless we will win all along the
lines.
If we are careless and Indifferent,
and fail to utilize our opportunities
to the utmost, we will be hampered
greatly in the future and our final
success delayed, set back.
So let US be up and doing. Let us
have no drones in our camp. Let
us show to our enemies at home and
our friends abroad (in the West and
Northwest) that we are men with a
determined purpose, that nothing
can stop us or divert us, that we can
not be side tracked. Let us prove
to our friends of other States that
we deserve their respect and conf
dence. Do not let them think, much
less be able to say with justice, that
we have not done our duty. Do not
let the great State Of Georgia be a
laggard in this reform fight. Rather
let her be in the van.
Let us make Georgia a leader.
We can do it. In the time to come,
after the fight, let us be able to point
with pride at our record.
Close up! No stragglers!
Yours fraternally,

MR.. SPEAKER

Mr.. Speaker Crisp's personal
lackey, who is also correspondent of
the Atlanta Constitution, is stopping
all over Georgia with his wall of woe.
1t seems that Mr.. Crisp was invited
to a banquet of the Tax Reform Club,
of New York, last Saturday night.
Now, the Tax Reform Club of New
York is the biggest cOnglomeration
of milliona1res on earth. 1t seems to
be Mr.. Crisp's misfortune that his
character was formed under the in
huences and surroundings attendant
on his early profession of the stage.
AS a dancer and singer, he was &C
customed to look upon an invitation
to a swell dinner as having to be paid
for in entertainment, just as Patti or
Efie Elssler recognize an invitation
to appear at Windsor Palace as indi-
eating that the Queen would be
pleased to hear song or witness a
dance. Mr.. Crisp does not seem to
recognize that those who come as
equals are expected to be entertained
and not to perform.
Laboring under this serious mis-
take, Mr.. Crisp prepared short
speech for the banquet. To be sure
that the fullest benefit should attend
the opportunity for advertisement,
Mr.. Crisp gave his speech to the news
papers,-again following the rule of
the stagers to be always on the good
side of the reporters.
The speech was not delivered at
the banquet, but the speech was
printed in the papers-not as what
Mr.. Crisp would have said, but as
what he did say.
Mr.. Millionaire Ellery Anderson
has explained that Mr.. Crisp was in
vited as a guest, but not as an enter
tainer, for the plain reason that the
club did not desire the kind of per-
Torrance Mr.. Crisp usually gave.
The banquet was of tax reformers,
and Mr.. Crisp was not tax reformer.
Mr.. Crisp's protection speech at
Detroit a few weeks ago, and his
declaration that the tariff we must
always have with us, the club seemed
to consider as having cooked Mr..
Crisp's goose. And the club was
sensible.
Now the great Atlanta Constitu-
ton intimates that Mr.. Crisp, having
failed to lead off in the role of a tariff
reformer, will take the bit in his
mouth and run over into the free
silver camp. Were this true, the
people would bless the Reform Club
for having hurt Mr.. Crlsp's feelings
so much as to make him honest. Mr..
Crisp is bound to free coinage. On
that pledge he was elected Speaker
He has the power, as the head of the
committee on rules, to bring before
the House the Stewart bill, which he
permitted to be set aside at the last
session. On a direct vote, there is
little doubt that the bill would pass.
The Speakers foolish anger would
thus be productive of good.
If the objection of the Reform
Club to Mr.. Crisp be that he is not
much of tariff reformer after all, it
seems that they are right. He ex-
pressly disclaimed any particular pre-
tensions that way in his campaign
speeches. But if the objection be
Mat he favors silver coinage, as the
Constitution intimates, he and his
lends would decidedly advance their
