A Bright Girls Ruse.

He and she were having most serious
quarrel.
He had been SO amazed when she flew
at him that he had simply collapsed into
chair and attempted no defense. Oh,
it was about another girl-it always is,
you knowl Her indignation waxed higher
as she went on firing labial lightning
blasts at him until she was quivering,
blazing, little whirlwind. Then he be-
gan to admire her.. only she was too ex-
cited to know it. That is the way with
men-they always admire one at the most
inopportune moments with their usual
laundering contrariness.
sOh, say!" he began pleadingly, "don't
be so cross Come here"
But she tore herself away and only
paused at the door in q dramatic, Bern
hardt way and vowed, ''Ill never for
give you or speak to you again or think
of you again or love-
Then she fastened her exit, for he had
started toward her. She closed the door
haughtily and effectively, only it shut
her dress in, and there she was. So when
he put his arms about her triumphantly
she couldn't escape, for, you see, 1t would
have torn her dress. And she couldn't
very well avoid making up when he was
in stch close proximity. Oh, that girl
is deep-it takes bright girl to know
Just che right time to let a door catch
her fast so it is impossible to get away.

Is Almost an Icy Desert.


A peculiar configuration of Iceland
renders intercourse difficult, and
along with the barrenness of the soil,
makes the conditions of existence
strangely hard. People with so
little to make life attractive might
be pardoned If they were to sink into
a stolid indifference to everything
but the struggle to keep alive. The
size of Iceland is greater than that of
Ireland, and thespopulation numbers
10000 souls, but the only jnhabitable
portion is "a narrow strip OF pasture
land extending like a green girdle
round the coast and up the deep,
narrow tiords. says the Atlantic
Monthly.
The interior of the country is a
lowling waste of sand and ice,
traversed by darting glacial rivers
and utterly incapable of supporting
more than few scattered inllabit-
ants. Grass is the only considerable
crop. The hills and valleys are tree
less and afford at best but scanty
pasturage for horses, cows and sheep.
Roads and bridges scarcely exist. A
Danish merchant at Rcykjavik has a
wheeled carriage, but in the interior
such a conveyance is unknown. The
backs of horses are the only means
of transportation across country.
Small boats carry travellers over
dangerous rivers, while the horses
swim on ahead. Hardly anything
that ministers to comfort, to say
nothing of luxury, is produced in
Iceland. Every nail in an Icclandic
house, every insignificant bit of
furniture has to be transported
laboriously from one OF the scaports
to its destination.
That the Icclanders are poor goes
without saying. There is little or no
home market, for every Icelander
has the same products to sell as his
neighbor. The circulation of money
is therefore. very small. Ifa farmer
has direct dealings with the agents
for foreign markets and is sufficiently
prosperous to have a little surplus
each year he may handle little
money, but in general the trading at
the seaports is literally trading. An
Icelander bartcrs a certain number of
horses, or sheep or roles of dried fish,
or bales of hay for supply of
groceries and other necessaries Of
life.

The conviction of X. Hood Sher-
wood of Council Bluffs, for forgery
has caused sensation. He is a
member Of an aristocratic English
family and went to that place six
years ago. His personal expenses
were heavy and when business began
to drop Off year ago he used his
partners shared of the profits. After
they were exhausted he forged a
check for $500, using the name OF John
Vankirk, a prominent farmer. sher.
wood claimed he mentioned the fact
that lie was in close circumstances To
Vankirk's daughter to whom ne was
engaged and she volunteered to get
money Of her father; that she left the
room, returning in a moment with a
check signed by her father. Miss
vankirk testified against her lover
and denied the whole story OF tne
check. High living caused Sher'
woods downfall.

a TALE OF sIBERIA.s HORRORS.
An American Sailors Experience in Rus
sia's Land of Exile.

Louis A. Paradyce, sailor who
arrived from China on the Gaelic,
tells a story of horrible treatment in
the Siberian prisons. He was a
sailor on the sealing schooner Mary
II. Thomas, and with another sailor
named Wilson, went ashore on the
coast of Kamschatka to fill water
casks. A hurricane drove the
schooner off and the men were left
ashore. They had no provisions and
Travelled inland to a camp of Russian
soldiers. There they were seized and
accused of being spies. They were
sent to Garasock, a convict station.
Paradyce tells of horrible cruelty in
flicted on the prisoners there.
There were about 5000 convicts at
the station, and every Wednesday
those VINO disobeyed the rules during
the week were siven flfty lashcs with
a knout. OF the 5000 convicts in the
camp 1880 wore the ball and chain.
Many men we're too feeble to walk
and were dragged along by their COM
panions. The soldiers would prod
them with bayonets and make them
move more quickly. The convicts
are fed with black bread and salt
meat.
Finally Paradyce and Wilson were
taken to Vladivostock, and from
there they were sent to the Kara gold
fields, a fifteen days journey. They
suffered frightfully from hunger and
fatigue. Wilson gave out and had to
be carried in Il wagon. The United
States ship Marion arrived at
Nladivustock and the officers were
informed by merchant named
Smith of Paradyce and Wilson's fate.
The commander of the Marion de-
manded that the prisoners be giveE
up, and after considerable delay this
was done. They were taken to
Shanghai on the Marion and placed
in a hospital. AS soon as Paradyce
was able to travel he was sent to
Hong Kong ON the Gaelic and then
went to San Francisco.

KNOWLEDGE

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

NEW ENTERPRISES.
What is Being Done in Progressive
Sandersville.


Sandersville, Ga, aAug. 24-Several
new enterprises are contemplated for
Sandersville One of these is a roller mill
for turning out patent flour of the best
grade, and it will stimulate the produc-
tion of wheat, already one of the impor-
tant food crops of Washington county A
number Of farmers in this county make it
a rule to raise enough wheat for home
use II a roller mill of the best make be-
comes one of the enterprises of our town
it will attract many customers here from
adjoining counties.
The establishment of a cotton seed oil
mill is also contemplated. Washington
is one of the largest cotton producing
counties in the state and plenty of seed
can be obtained here TO keep the mill sup
piled.
The most important enterprise under
consideration is a cotton compress, which
would draw cotton to our market from
an extensive territory. This en-
terprise would enable buyers
TO pay better prices because 1t would re-
duce freight rates, and would be of meal
culable benefit to our town as a cotton
market. Our citizens realize that enter
prizes are necessary for the
advancement of the material pros
perity of our town, and are giving the
projectors liberal encouragement.
The cotton crop in some parts of the
county is being badly damaged by rust.
There is also considerable complaint of

There Were About FIFTY ministers
and Delegates Present Yesterday.
Bellville, Ga, Aug. 4-The Methodist
district conference continues to grow in
number and interest. About fifty preach
crs and delegates have arrived. Presid-
ing Elder Thompson is a small man phys
ically but big man mentally. He gave
the conference fine lecture yesterday
afternoon. In the course of his remarks
he said, that this country was stile in a
formative state, and that it was not going
back to the social customs, thoughts and
methods of the abOrigiuees. The church
of this generation has an opportunity
that would not be presented to any gener-
ton in the near future, to lift the people
to something high and noble.
The thing for the church to do was to
find remedies for the moral ellis that
threaten society and apply them.
The conference is down to regular bust
ness. Large crowds are coming in from
the surrounding country. A long table
has been imprOvised in beautiful grove
of pines which is every day loaded down
with elegant and wholesome food by the
hospitable people Of Bellville and vicinity
