sincere"
1t happened one evening that the
programme for entertainment was in
complete. Grille was asked to take
part, to play a piano solo. or give a
recitation. IL ended in her doing both.
She went in her pretty white wool
gown, with pale lilac bows here and
there, her dress so rich, so maidenly,
so becoming, that she was bewitching
in it. The girls clapped their hands
and applauded her with enthusiasm.
They crowded around her. and begged
her to come and teach one of their
classes on Sunday.
Grille was persuaded. She said she
knew so little herself that she would
have to study very hard. When SUM-
day came she dressed in her pretty,
dainty tailor-made gown, her simple
sailor hat, her gray gloves. From head
to feet she was like an exquisite flower.
but not a puff nor frill nor ruffie was
spared.
The girls listened to her and looked
at her. In six months you would not
have known them for the same set;
their taste was quieter, their gowns
were simpler, more refined, less preten-
tious; their hats lost the load of flowers
and feathers. Grille was initiated in
her speech, her manners, her exterior;
she had set good example.

For Her Northern Friends.

In the good ship Falcon, which has
sailed away to carry band of intrepid
voyagers up into the frozen regions,
was noticed as a part of her cargo
sewing machine. Mrs. Peary has told
of the prize which a needle proved to
the Esquimau woman, and how on her
previous voyage, one of them unpro-
vided with such a treasure came and
asked for one of them, offering her
child in exchange.
The Esduiinau wears her bone nee
die in q case hung from her neck, and
the marvellous steel ones which this
woman from the SOUTH" as they call
Mrs. Peary, brought up were almost
too precious to be carried in any way;
but new cases were made, the cords
strengthened, and these, too, were
worn scapula fashion against the skin.
What the sharp-eyed little creatures
will say to the sewing machine when
they see if Keeling off the seams of the
skins, which they so laboriously accom-
plish, will be interesting to hear about.

Our American Freedom.

The freedom and gayety enjoyed by
the average American girl are quite
unknown to her English cousin. The
latter, until she has home of her own,
is rarely allowed to give any festivity on
her own account Three English girls,
however, recently took advantage of
the absence of the rest of the family to
have an afternoon party of their girl
friends. The invitations had a picture
of lady in semi-evening dress-that
is, with elbow sleeves and bodice cut
half low in the neck. In one corner of
the card was, Tea and chatter" and
in the other the notice, I'm conse-
quence of the extreme heat, ladies are
requested to come in semi-evening
dress" The innovation was such
success that the company voted to re-
vive the fashions of their grandmoth-
ers, who always wore sleeveless and
low-necked frocks in summer.-N. Y.

WHAT ONE GIRL DID.
And What Many More May Do II They
Only VIII.

The girl was just twenty. She had
been at school for the last ten years,
had studied everything she wanted to,
and several things she did not care for,
had come with trunkful of pretty
gowns and half dozen dainty hats
and wells to spend the summer in a
suburban town far from her home,
which was in the south.
1t had always been enough for this
girl to be alive and to be happy. Her
sweet looks and her sweet ways had
been so pleasing to her father and
mother, her brothers and cousins, that
she had never felt the need of trying
to do them any good, says Harper's
Bazaar. When at school the same sweet
WAYS and sweet looks had made her
popular, and it did not occur to her
that she was to exert an influence on
her companions.
1t proba bly, never does occur to q
rose or pansy that it has any duty in
the matter of being fragrant and at
tractive. 1t simply lives its life
In the summer home, however, Grille,
as her father liked to call her, found
that everybody was on the qui vive to
help everybody else. Her aunt and her
girl cousins all had their work among
the poor, or they read to sick people,
or taugh, in Sunday-school Two
cousins were very much interested in
worlking-girrs club, one hundred girls
gathered from a factory in the hottest
part of the town. The CLUB met even
ings. and the young ladies Of the place,
dressed in the severest possible gowns
of calico in summer, of serge n.winter,
with white aprons and caps, like maids,
took turns in entertaining their young
friends
''It's surprising" said one cousin to
Grille, that we can make no impress
sion en- these poor things, no matter
how we try. They wear the same
tawdry imitation lace and paste jewell
r., they have trailing dresses in the
street, and their hats are covered with
cheap flowers Our example does not
count"
Grille only laughed Then she said,
with her soft southern drawl: They
don't care for your caps and your
aprons It's all a sham, don't you see?

BE q Woman.

Girls, all of you, everywhere, this is
word to you.
Be womanly.
Be true to yourselves and be guided
by the promptings of those who have
been through it all, and know by ex-
perience the best line of conduct to
pursue. You may lose the companion
ship of some whom you think very gay
and jolly, but their evanescent friend
ship will be replaced by sincere re-
spect and commentator.
1t is great fun, perhaps, to be bit
slangy in your talk, to take surrep
titious puffs of cigarette, or to de.
ceive your chaperon as to your where
abouts
Possibly for time such line of con.
duct will appear amusing and clever,
and you will undoubtedly think you are
pleasing Tom, Dick and Harry by being
hail fellow well met and willing to de-
ceive those who have your best inter-
ests at stake. But when your back is
turned no one will be so quick to CEN
sure you as they.
Remember that, and don't yield to
the temptation to be fiippant and un-
true.
Again, be womanly.--Boston Herald.

A OiSGRACEFUI WARFARE.
Fruits of the Pension Policy of the Dem
oerats.

Fruits of the Pension Policy of the Dem
oerats.
All through the campaign of 1898 the
economical democracy, whose repre-
sentatives at Washington were break
ing the record in expenditure, kept up
a cry against pensions for union vet
Grams. The most extravagant misrep-
reservations in regard to the manner of
granting pensions were made and no
doubt believed to some extent The
men who stood at the head of the pen
sion bureau became targets for SANDER
and abuse, and no effort was left I'M
tried to create feeling in the public
mind that the receipt of pension from
the government was a discreditable
thing.
Since election day the democratic
party seems to have forgotten several
things which burdened its mind before
Mr.. Cleveland's victory. Among those
is the tariff. But its secretary of the
interior, Hoke Smith. of Georgia, did
not forget the agitation against PEN
sions paid to northern soldiers After
several petty attacks, which were ridic-
ulous after the extravagant assertions
of fraud made by democratic states
men during the campaign, he saw him
self forced to take a bold step and he
took it. At single stroke he stopped
the pensions of all the benefciaries
under the dependent pension act. A
ranker piece of injustice could not have
been devised than this
What class of men does Hoke Smiths
warfare on pensions hit? Are they
sleek, prosperous rascals whose chief
ambition is to defraud the government
which they risked their lives to save?
Here is specimen case, recorded by the
News, of Buffalo: Charles o. Ingalls,,
veteran who has been receiving a
pension of eighteen dollars a month
since 1888, has been suspended The
old man was sunstruck in the army and
was insane in consequence The Buff
falo state hospital, where he was con-
fined, discharged him as harmless and
the soldiers home refused to take him
in because he was crazy. So he was
wanderer till friends went to work and
secured him pension and the Y. M. c.
| A. at Niagara Falls employed him to
sit around in their rooms and in a way
take charge of them, paying him about
one dollar a week for the nominal serv-
ice. He is almost totally blind and has
to feel for the door when going in and
out of the room"
This single instance is enough to
everlastingiy disgrace Hoke Smith and
the democratic party. Is the govern
ment of the United States so poor that
it must stoop to rob the infirm, weak
and poverty-stricken of the pittance
which it pays them for the sacrifices
which they made on its behalf when
its very existence was in peril? Do the
people of the country approve of this
mean and petty warfare on the old and
helpless?
We greatly mistake the American
temper if Hoke Smiths way does not
cause sharp reaction in favor of Eber-
atty rather than parsimony in the
granting of pensions.-Albany Journal

little boy eight years old asked for
one this week. Somebody's boy is
reading these stories-is it yours?
We are all hero worshipers, aud
We instinctively and unconsciously
shape our lives after our heroes and
heroines. What calamity it is for
many of our boys to be making he's
roes of pickpockets, train robbers
and murderers. The result cannot
be but pernicious. Taught to feel
an admiration for crime and its hero,
they are stirred to follow in his foot
steps. A father that will let his
boy read Peck's Bad Boy need not
be surprised at the lack of respect
in his son.
The danger / see in the reading
of many who do not read the detec
tive stories is this same lack of the
truly heroic. Silly stories, called
Sunday school books, are read by
the dozen, which leave no result but
morbid sentinentallity. Such
reading is cs wholesome to the mind
as sillabub to the body.
What our boys and girls need is
to be brought in contact with the
true heroes and beroines of the
world, whether it be in the form of
novel, story, biography, or the hiss
tory. A race that has produced as
many great men and women as ours,
a race that has produced a history
So rich in heroic deeds should see to
it that its youth honor and emulate
the good and reject the spurious.
Literature contain the keys that
unlock the aspirations of youth ;
nothing else has this quickening
power. Homer's ''Iliad" could make
Alexander the Great subvert the
old despotis;ns of Asia and establish
in their place Greek art and science
and free individuality"

A RICH GOLD MINE.
On Mr.. j. B. Kemp's Farm
Near Lost Mountain.
TO Be WORKED BY CAPITALISTS,
Four Shafts Sunk and Plenty of Gold
Found. Bought by Syndicate, who
Will Put in New Machinery.

One of the richest gold mines dis
covered in Georgia has been located
on the farm Of Mr.. J. B. Kemp, near
Lost Mountain, in this county. Mr..
T. 8. Mcdaniel writes us that the
mine was first discovered before the
war. The land was then owned by
Mr.. Solomon Kemp. He bought
negro, named Ish, who was a miner,
and he found this gold mine and
worked it until his master died, pay
ing him seventy.tivc cents day for
his time. The land was sold and
bought by Mr.. ]. B. Kemp and he
would not let any one work it until
now.
On the 9th of February, Mr.. D.
G. King, Mr.. ]. J. Petty and Mr..
W. LeBarron, Of Chicago, ILL.,, and
Mr.. L. S. Mcdaniel, Of Dale, Ala,
arrived on the farm and proceeded
to sink four shafts. To their graft
fication they found plenty Of gold,
the shining particles could be seen
plainly. They entered into negotia-
tions for the mine, and gave Mr..
Kemp $4,000 for ninety four acres of
land. They returned to their homes
to buy suitable machinery, and will
be back in ten days to go to work.
Mr.. Mcdaniel says they will want
forty or fifty hands to work for them
at one dollar per day. They propose
to add to the wealth of the county
by developing this mine, which ha:
so long remained idle.
