daughter was still little girl. There
Matilda met Mr.. Gresham, to whom she
was married when she was but 10 years
of age.
The giddy whirl of Washington soci-
ETY. will have less attraction for Mrs.
Gresham than for any other of the cab
met ladies. She is no longer young, and
life with her has never been a holiday.
Her ideal has been the bee rather than
the butterfly. But she is woman OF
sterling sense, and being the wife Of the
secretary of state she will entertain in
the manner which the memorable I'M
written laws Of society prescribe. Mrs.
Gresham is really charming hostess.
She is such n thoroughly domestic crea-
ture herself that she succeeds without
the slightest apparent effort in making
her guests feel perfectly at home.
Mrs. Gresham is below the average in
height, and her figure is as slender as
that of schoolgirl. She is not an OBJ
trusive conversational, but is exceed
ingly entertaining after she warns up TO
the subject. Her hair is heavily tinged
with gray, and her physical appearance
would not seem to indicate that she is
able TO stand protracted season Of
Washington balls, receptions, etc, but
her past experience has taught her how
to conserve her strength, and she has
done an amount Of work in the way Of
correspondence for her distinguished
husband that is almost incredible.
Mrs. Gresham believes that the social
success Of the present administration is
beyond question. As she very aptly ex-
presses it, with young and charming
woman at the head Of society and mum
Der Of young women whose husbands are
in the cabinet there is sure TO be much
to do, and every one predicts an unusual
season of festivities"
Mrs. Gresham's two children, Otto,
aged 80, and Mrs w. H. Andrews, have
always lived with their parents. This
fact Of itself speaks volumes Of Mrs.
Greshams tact and the attractiveness of
her home

$3.50 worth of fine whisky. He represented
himself as very wealthy, and got testi-

Deputy Marshal John Fisher. 1t was soon
found that the man was irresponsible and
was not even Il whisky dealer. Most of
the whisky was recovered, and now the

John Fisher has been bound over on q
similar charge. One of the witnesses gave
the secret away by which they have been
able to retain many Of the articles after
the fraud was discovered. They would buy
a typewriter, Il piano, sewing machine,
farm machinery and all manner of mer
chandise, and when the attorneys for these
firms would investigate, they would find
the goods covered by mortgages or in the
hands of innocent purchasers to all appear

1t was worked in this way: They would

who received the money would count it
aloud over and over until the desired
amount was called. The witness would

and be ready for the next transaction.
When the sellers came to look after the

The Valiant Service He il Rendering the

A man who is doing valiant service for
Georgia, and particularly his section, Is Col
onel d. f. DeWolf, of Morgan county. Coi-
onel DeWolf formerly one OF the most
prominent citizens of Ohio, and was attracted
to Georgia by the splendid advantages he
found here. He was for a long time state
commissioner of public schools in the buckeye
state and ranks as one of the leaders Ill edu-
cational circles. He was pioneer In the ad-
vOcacy Of manual education in the west, ana
many of the splendid institutions in that sec
ton owe their existence to his advocacy.
In his Georgia home he Is doing no less
important work though on another line He
is still as deeply interested in educational mat
tiers as ever, but now his special work is on
the line Of bringing immigrants to this state
demonstrating 10 them the special advantages
of this state. He has been working especially
in the west and his labors have been crowned
with very considerable degree of success.

Revolution

has been brought about by the
introduction Of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is well known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range OF what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is cooking marvel. It eombvnes
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color. a delicate favor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the

cases is that murders in England are gen.

THE CARE OF SHOES.
A Simple Process That Saves Many Good
Dollars.

Few people give proper care to their
shoes. They come in damp, tired, cold
maybe and possibly not in the best of
temper. fling their shoes off impatiently,
get into slippers as quick as possible and
sit down to rest, forgetting that their shoes
will be in q scarcely wearable condition
by next morning.
If every one would invest in couple
of quarts of good, clean oats and keep them
in clean bag in the dressing room he
would have at hand the means Of putting
his shoes in excellent order with very lit
tie trouble and no cost to speak Of AS
soon as the shoes ale taken off lace or
button up and fill them about two-thirds
full of oats, then tie in a handkerchief a
parcel of oats as large as can be pressed
in the top of the shoes to fill the remain
ing space ana put the shoes away until
wanted. The oats absorb the moisture
from the shoes and i'll absorbing it they
swell considerably. The constant pres
sure on the leather keeps the shoe in cor
rect shape and prevents that uncomforta-
bic stiffness and rigidity always noticed
when leather has been wet. A little trou-
bic and care of this sort would save many
a pair of shoes. Especially is this useful
where there are children who are always
running out in the dampness and coming
in with wet feet

Red Hair.
From The American Analyst.

Science explains the phenomenon of red hair
thus: 1t is caused by superabundance of
iron in the blood. This it is that imparts the Wig
or, the elasticity, the great vitality, the overflow
ing and thoroughly healthy animal life that runs
rot through the veins of the ruddy- haired; and
this strong. scntent animal life is what renders
them more intense IL all their emotions than their
more lang ujd fellow creatures.
The excess of iron is also the cause of freckles
on the peculiarly clear, white skin which always
accompanies red hair. The SKIN is abnornalIy
sensitive to the action of the suns rays, which
not only bring out the little brown spots in album
dance but ALSO burn like q mustard plaster, pro-
ducing q queer creepy sensation, as il the SKIN

GEORGIA NIgW.S AND GOSSIP,

There seems to be difference of opinion in
regard to what the demand for fertilizers Will
be next season, says The Macon News 4
dealer in fertilizers says he thinks the demand
will be at least % per cent less than it was
last year. He gave as the reason Tor this
faith in him that the price of cotton seed
would not be near so good as it was jast sea-
son. and the farmers would accordingly save
the seed and use them for fertiliZing purposes.
and not sell them as they dill last YEAR and
buy fertilizers. AS directly opposite to this
opinion however, another dealer in fcrtiiiz-
ers told The News that he thought the demand
for fertilizers would be as good tGis year as
last. and that the price OF cotton seed would
go much higher than it now IS. and that the
farmers would sell their seed the same IS they
did last year and buy fertilizers.

A balloon Plant,

From The Oroville. Ca. Mercury.
There is Il very curious plant to be found
growing in the vicinity of Oroville. in this
state The fruit is yellow and a little larger
than an egg, and appears like an empty bag
rather than a solid, though it contains u
watery substance which cvaporates or dries
up when the fruit is fully ripe. leaving Il
sort of gas inside the fruit which is lighter
than air. This inflated, bag-like fruit tiips
bacl, and forth in the wind till it finally
breaks loose from it's slender stem, sails up
into the air, rising one hundred or more
feet, and finally disappearing over the hill.
