A Dogs Sorrow.

"Well, may be not-may be
not" | heard man say the other
day. 1t may be that the lower
animals are incapable of feeling
grief to any great extent; but let
me tell you Of a dog my father once
had, and | think you will agree
with me that there are exceptions
to the rule.
"The dogs name was Duke. One
of the earliest recollections have
is that of my fathers riding into
the yard one day with the little
plump pup in his arms.
Duke grew up with us children
as though he were one of the FAM
lily sure enough. He would play
and eat with us, and all but sleep
with US. There was but one person
in the world he preferred to us and
that was my father.
"The attachment of Duke to fa-
ther was the wonder of the neigh
borhood. 1t was very seldom they
were separated for any length of
time during the day, and in such a
case they were equally disconsolate.
Duke was nearly ten years old
when my father died. At such a
time of course no one could be ex-
pected to give much heed to dog.
| doubt if any one ever thought of
noticing what effect my fathers
death had OH Duke until we moved
across the river to neighboring
town, and let the old place to ten
ant. Then we couldn't help seeing
it.
Every night that dog would steal
from the house and swim the river
to the old home. Every morning
in compliance with our request, the
tenant would drive him back. II
was of little use, however, for Duke
would always come back, and, in a
heartless, detected way, go over the
the old familiar haunts where he
had always found his master.
"ln some vague way he seemed
to realize that the cemetery held all
that was left of his friend, and
would spend hours at time beside
the grave, but always with all un.
certain air, as if he were not quite
sure.
"The change in Duke was a mat.
ter of concern to us all. From the
romping, bounding, lively fellow Of
a few weeks before, he had become
quiet, dull-eyed chap, full Of
midnight winnings and mysterious
disappearance. We knew it was
grief that was killing him.
Zone morning, after a Longer
search than usual, we found hin
lying dead in the cemetery beside
his masters grave.
"Yes, yes. know he was only
a dog. Of course, he was only {
dog, but shall always think h'
died of broken heart"

Where Women hide their Diamonds


Women who own diamonds have
them always on their minds, and
generally on their bodies. They
go about the streets like travelling
safety vaults.
The shrewd observer will fire.
quently see u placid, decorous-look-
ing woman suddenly press her hand
on some part of her body not ap-
parently claiming attention, and a
look of anguish pass over her face,
This is not caused by a casual spasm
Of pain, momentary disorganiza-
tion of some physical function, but
by the horrible thought that her
diamonds may have slipped their
moorings.
Some women carry their dia-
monds around their necks IN cham
ois bags, like scapulars, others ad-
just them ,likc porous plasters,
around their waists. A lady lately
pinned 81 900 worth of diamonds on
her corsets, and is now bewailing her
loss.
Women seize the most unlikely
places in which to stow their dia-
monds when not in use, but do not
seem to lessen the chances of loss
or anxiety. Last winter a young
woman pinned a S7O0 diamond to
the bottom Of silk skirt for safe
keeping. A week after, forgetting
this, she put on the skirt and mer-
rily promenaded the town. When
she thought to wear her diamond il
was gone.

ALL RIGHT.

We frankly plead guilty to all
that is implied in this statement,
but we venture to remind the es-
teemed JOURNAL that none of the
other newspapers in Georgia have
been content to let the matter Of
Mr.. Clay's candidacy drop after the
JOURNALS interview with him. His
name is frequently mentioned and
his candidacy discussed in a respect
full way that should not give offense
either to Mr.. Clay or to the Mariet-
ia JOURNAL. Indeed, all of it has
been rather complimentary than
otherwise. The Enquirer-Sun is
not ignorant of the sterling qualities
that have made Mr.. Clay valuable
public servant, his distinguished
services IT the Legislature, on the
floor of the House, as Speaker, and
as President Of the Senate. These
things, indeed, are responsible for
making him conspicuous in the talk
about the next Governor, and We
trust any further references to him
in the Enquirer Sun will not excite
the suspicious Of Marietta contem-
porary.-Columbus Enquirer-Sln.
All right. Any friendly ''refer-
encc' you may make OF Mr.. Clay
will not excite our suspicion" in
the least In fact your very kind
words in behalf Of Mr.. Clay are duly
appreciated. Repeat the dose often
in your excellent and esteemed
paper.

NATIONAL DISTRESS
Is i'm the Tariff. Says a
Rich Man.
WHAT MEN, EAT, DRINK AND WEAR
And Not Upon What they Own is What
the Tax is Assessed Upon and the
Consumer Bears the Burden.

IN recent interview Hon. w. G.
Whitney, of New York, had this TO
say about an issue on which the
democratic party declared itself last
year in no mistaken language:
"No matter what disguise it may
assume, our present tariff system is
essentially tax upon the producing
and industrial classes. The nation
al governments supported by tax,
not upon property, but upon con-
sumption. The tariff is assessed, not
upon what men own, but upon what
they eat and drink and wear. It is
TOO largely per capita tax. Under
it is easily possible that poor
man with large family may be
compelled to pay more taxes for the
support Of the national government
than Pm economical millionaire with
only himself to keep. An average
man in the middle and lower classes,
making income basis of classifca>
ton, spends, say, rs per cent Of his
income'tor food and clothing. The
average rich man cannot spend over
5 per cent. of his income for the
same purpose. National taxes be-
ing levied as they are, the general
mass of the people, the producing
and the industrial classes and the
great body of merchants, tradesmen
and professional men, pay fifteen
times as much tax in proportion to
their means as the rich man. There
lies the secret OF national distress,
Mr.. Whitney is a far>seeing and
astute political observer. He is
perhaps the one man who is closer
to Cleveland than any other, for
he was secretary OF the navyi in
Cleveland's first cabinet, and was
his political manager in the last
campaign. Besides this, Mr. Whit
ney is said to be worth more than
q million dollars, and has large in
come, on which he is willing to pay
an income tax.
