RoGUES DREAD THE CAMERA.
The Capture OF Criminals Made Easy b.
Means of photographic.

The Capture OF Criminals Made Easy by
Means of Photographs
The greatest aid that the thief tallel
of to-day has in his possession is the
photograph. The thief and outlaw
dread the photograph above all things.
The long immunity from arrest OF
Frank and Jesse James was due to the
fact that no pictures of them had ever
been taken. They were thus enabled
to walk the streets of Kansas City and
st. Louis, to attend theaters. play fare
in crowded banks, loll around the ro.
tunda of the Planters hotel and attend
the race meetings of the west. The
vanity of the wild western train rob-
bers, bank holdups and horse thieves
has, in scores of instances, led them to
pose before the camera of the travelling
tintype artist. After that capture was
easy. The Dalton and Starr gangs owe
their capture to this weakness. But
the high.class crook never has pict-
ure taken unless it is taken by force
and by police officers. A glance at the
rogues' gallery on the walls of the
chief of detectives Office will show a
hundred instances of where men have
fought desperately against the process
All this amounts to nothing. No man
can distort his face so as not to leave Il
recognizable feature. He cannot
change the shape of his nose, his
chin, his ears or the general outline
of his head. The ear is partially a val
able feature in Identification. No two
men in the world have ears exactly
alike. The construction will differ,
and the general expression of the ear
has an individuality of it's own. One
pair of ears will stand out from the
head like wings; another pair will lay

form, such as short legs, long legs, long
body, long apelilSe arms of peculiar

COFEEE-TEA,
A New Beverage Winch Is Admirably Re-
freshing and Restorative in Its Effects.

A New Beverage Winch Is Admirably Re-
freshing and Restorative in Its Effects.
Coffee and tea have been so long
known to the world and have given so
much delight and refreshment to mil
lions of people, that it seems a very
singular statement to make, at this
late day, that man has not yet availed
himself of some of the most valuable
properties of these plants. Such never
theless appears to be the case, especially
with respect to the cotfec-plant.
The stimulating power of tea and
coffee is due to what Is known as
caffeine or theme, but tea contains a
large percentage of tannin, which is
not desirable component in bever-
age; and coffee, while less rich in
theme than tea, possesses other proper
ties which give it flavor as a drink.
Tea. as everybody knows, is made
from leaves, while coffee is made from
berries or beans. just here is where
something appears to have been over
looked. 1t has recently been discov-
cred that the leaves of the coffee-plant
are not only available for making a
beverage, but that they possess prop
critics which make. them in some re.
spects more valuable than the coffee
beans.
In appearance and fragrance the
dried coffee leaves very much resemble
those of the tea-plant. An infusion OF
them being made, just as in the case
of ordinary tea, an aromatic beverage
is produced which is bitter to the taste,
but not disagreeably so, and which
contains almost as much theme as real
tea, while there is n notable falling of
in the proportion of tannin.
IT has been suggested that this ''cof

KENNESAW.

We failed to send in any dots last
week as we took ON too much Of the
election. While our district went
for the populists, we gave them the
best we had in our shop. We are
glad that the county is Democratic.
We wish we could carry this district
for democracy in the next election
and we think we can if the popu>
lists would give US show at the
negroes. The populists had speak
ing every night to keep US from
even talking with them. They
swore them in and told them after
they had taken the oath that if they
broke their promise that they would
turn them out of church and you
know that they can't afford to be
turned out. The populisrs motto
is equal rights to all and special
privileges to none." Now let's see
when they nominate the balance OF
the county ticket if they will give
the old darkey a showing. No, not
