II all the just things that have been
written in condemnation of thoughtless
and malicious gossip were gathered to-
gether they would make several portly
volumes. And nine people out of every
ten would admit that they were justified
by the facts. Still, gossip has not died
out in the world; on the contrary, it has
as many devotees as ever, and the evils
that follows in its train cannot we'll be
estimated. Gossip is the outcome of a
malicious or an empty mind. There
are people, we'll informed and well
educated, who chose this line of con-
versation deliberately because they only
enjoy life when in the way of giving
others pain. There are many subjects
about which they would converse in an
entertaining and instructive manner,
but they ignor such subjects because
their hearts are full of malice and un-
charitableness. There is no excuse for
them, nor is there any likelihood that a
reformation will take place. They do
their evil work of set purpose, and
because they like it. 1t were waste
OF time to demonstrate with people of
this sort. You might as we'll argue
with an enaged rattlesnake or a
hungry tiger. For as 1t is the nature
OF the snake to bite and of the tiger to
rend and tear, 30 it is the nature OF the
individual who chooses vicious gossip
as an occupation to poison the fame and
rend the character of his neighbor.
He has been at 1t 80 long that It has
become part OF his life. The only thing
to do Is to avoid him as far as possible.
And one can reduce his opportunities
for evil by refusing to repeat what he
says.

The Last Series Of Cheap-Rate Excursions
to the Worlds Fair.

AS the period of the existence OF the
Worlds Columbian Exposition draws TO
close the demand grows stronger for
the economical and satisfactory means
of reaching Chicago provided heretofore
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Recognizing the urgency of this popular
need, that company has fixed few
additional dates on which excursions Of
the same character as the previous
will be run. September 2sth,
October 2nd, Iith, 18th, and 2lst
are the days selected from New
York, Philadelphia, and points east of
Pittsburg and Erie and north OF York.
The special trains will be composed
of the standard coaches for which the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Is
noted, and the arrival in Chicago at an
early hour the following afternoon
obviously gives ample opportunity for
the securing Of accommodations at that
place.
The trains will leave New York 900
A. M, Jersey City 0.l3 Newark 0.25,
Elizabeth 9.32 New Brunswick 9.53,
Trenton 1923, Philadelphia ll.3O,
Frazer 1900 p. NJ, Downingtown 1922
Parkersburg l2.4l, Coatesville l.O2,
Lancaster lbs, Conewago l.57, Harris
burg 300 p. NJ Lewistown Junction 4.30,
Tyrone 600, Altoona 100 and Pittsburg
l0.40P p. NJ. The excursion rate, good
only on the special train and valid for
return within ten days, is $50 from
New York, slS.25 from Philadelphia,
and proportionately low from other
stations. Return portions of tickets
are good for ten days.
These trains will be run on fast
schedule, and will be provided with all
modern conveniences with the excep-
tion Of Pullman cars.
Many expressions Of complete salts
faction have been made by people
who have availed themselves Of this
excellent opportunity of visiting the
greatest and grandest exhibition the
world has ever seen.

A Hoggish Trick.

There are several kinds Of hogs in
this world of ours: the hog proper, the
hog human, and the hog profit. The
hog proper is all right, because he has
his uses; the hog human is a nuisance,
but is easily avoided; but the hog profit
is the meanest hog Of all, because he is
invisible to the eye and hard to locate.
The hog profit may be feeding from
your pocket-book for years before you
find him QUITS he? Glenn Milliren
offers his customers absolute protection
against hOggish profits. He deals fair
on close margins and prospers by it.
Visit his establishment and examine
the serviceable, seasonable, elegant and
complete assortment Of wearing apparel.
You will find his prices ALWAYS the
lowest.

The law is strict about selling cigar
cites to boys under sixteen years of age
and the ladies of the w. c. T. U. at
this place say they are making arrange
ments to have the law enforced here.
1t is not an uncommon sight to see lit
tie boys, hardly out of their dresses yet,
between their lips. The ladies certain
ly will not lack for subjects il they
want to make the law accomplish that
for which it was enacted. The cigar
ette will do its work of destroying boys
and bringing them to premature graves
or rob them of the health and energy
required to successfully meet life's en-
vironments.

Have you ever noted the contrast,
with some scholars, between the first
and last day of schoolP When last
winters term closed many of the
scholars were as frisky as lambs, but
after a long vacation they started to
school Monday with slow and weary
step, heads dropping and spirits entirely
wilted. Their only hope now is to look
for the coming Of Christmas time so
that they can have another rest from
the irksome task Of school life. Such
boys and girls, however, never make
big marks in the world.

Injustice to the Young Student.

School opens and the teacher says to
the pupil from 10 to 10 years old "You
have been all over this first part of the
Arithmetic and it's waste and loss of
time for you to go over it again." and
he is started in about fractions. SO
here is the wrong, they don't under
stand notation and numeration. II
any teacher in the public schools doubts
this assertion let him faithfully make
the test and he or she will do the great
est good of their life by putting them
in possession of something they would
need every day they live. Any business
man test his boy who can work almost
any question in the higher arithmetic.
See If he will correctly give you
one per cent. on any simple amount, as
twenty-one dollars and twenty-one
cents. See il he is not as likely to tell
you two twelve as twenty-one cents.
Or the cost of two hundred and eleven
thousand brick at eleven dollars per
M with one or five Off for cash. ANY
parent or instructor who will take the
trouble to investigate will find more
deficiency in this than he has ever
dreamed of. Which is more important,
this, or name the rivers of the world,
or movements of the heavenly bodies, or
almost any study you choose to name?

the train wreck there Sunday:
The Georgia Pacific R. r. had
serious accident near here last Sun
day morning. Two freight trains
were hurrying to get to Atlanta be-
fore eight O'Clock The accommo-
dation ran between them until
Lithia Springs was reached, where
the head freight took the siding and
the accommodation passed. As the
freight backed out the one following
came up behind at the rate of 90 or
30 miles an hour, the engineer put
on brakes but being on a heavy
grade could not stop. Engineer
Wyche and his fireman jumped and
the engine went on into the train
ahead, which was composed of coal
and cars. The cab was torn to splin-
ters and seven coal cars were turned
in all directions and knocked from
their trucks. The cars coupled to
the engine were loaded with pig iron
and coal, and completely covered the
engine, which was turned on its side.
Conductor Dodgins, of Middleton,
was seriously injured. He was run
ming his first trip as conductor. En-
gineer Wyche was badly injured by
his jump. The fagman of the first
train and colored fireman of behind
train were htft but not seriously.
The accident occurred in a cut just
at the end of the Chatauquatenclos-
ure. AT the time that your CORES
pondent visited the wreck, the in
jured men seemed as we'll as could
be expected. They were attended

IGNORANT AND UNABLE TO READ
Yet Can Quote any Chapter or Verse in

Alexander McCallum, a young
negro from Robson county, N. O.,
stopped over in Waycross, Ca, re-
Gently. He said that he was on his
way 10 McQueen's turpentine still on
the Georgia Southern and Florida
railroad, to see his brother who is
working there. Alexander says that
he is inspired, that he never went tc
school day, and does not know a
letter in the alphabet when he sees
it but he can quote any verse OF
chapter ia the Bible.
He was talking to some white men
and negroes at the passenger station
when correspondent was passing
by, whose attention was called to the
negro. Alexander said eyes, [ am
inspired by the goodness of the Lord.
He gave me knowledge OF the whole
Bible one day in October, 1886. II
anybody has Bible and will name
any verse or chapter | will quote it
word for word"
No one had copy of the Bible,
and so a gentleman went and Dor
rowed one. More than fifty chap
tiers and verses were called for by
different gentleman, and Alexander
quoted every one, word for word.
He IS one OF the most remarkable
negroes ever seen in this country.
He is intelligent and speaks fairly
good English. He talks religion oil
the time. He is ignorant of the pol.
itics of his country, and cannot re-
memper anything that has been told
him of a worldly nature. He says
that ne has never opened Bible
since he was little boy when ht
played with the leaves of the Bible
Alexander is 27 years of age. He
cannot talk distinctly. He says thai
he works all the time, and always
hes more money than he needs fol-
his comfort. Whoever has the OPP
portunity of talking with him will
be impi essed with the fact that there
is something more than natural in
his power of memory, if it could be
called memory. He says it is gift,
