Tumble Down.
He was the father. the proud father,
of five-year-old son. He was always
telling what wonderful things that boy
of his could do.
He was at one of the clubs the Other
night, and the way he Dragged mad,
everyone tired. 1t was Johnny this and
Johnny that, till some one had the i'm
politeness to tell him to dry up.
Last night he drifted around to the
club, and, strange to relate, he never
said word about that boy, not even q
syllable.
This is the reason:
When the pepper went home Satur
day night he started to go up the front
steps,
He stepped upon something hard and
round.
Grrrrr-biff
He picked himself up and wondered
what had struck him. He stepped eau
tiously forward. His foot rested upon
another of the mysterious round things.
Grrrrr-Dln
This time his fall made such racket
chat his wife came to the door and
wanted to know what on earth was the
matter with her hubby that he couldn'i
walk up the front stoop steps without
waking up the neighborhood.
He said nothing. In fact, he could
not have spoken if he had tried, such
was the greatness of his wrath.
"Oh, George" cried his wife, sudden
ly, little Johnny left his marbles out
on the stoop; pick them up for me, will
you?"
Madame" he roared, ~ would kind
ly inform you that have all can d.
to pick myself up"
And then he went into the house.
And thus it came to pass that deal
little Johnny stood up all the next da,
and had no marbles to play with. =

SCIENTIFIC STUDY.
Powers Developed by the Observation of
Plant and Animal Life.

Powers Developed by the Observation of
Plant and Animal Life.
The first thing that all beginners
must learn is to see thing just as it
is. None of us have this power fully
developed. We go through life with
our eyes only partially open. We do
not see things as they really are. The
first power that a proper study of
plants and animals develops is
that of observing accurately. None
do this when they begin the work.
Usually they see at first only vague
generalities. But the best stimulus to
seeing accurately comes through ex-
pressing what has been seen. This ex.
preston should be required of the
pupils in three forms-drawing, notes
and oral discussions. This is very
valuable part of the exercise. To be
able to express accurately with pencil
point what is observed is power of
inestimable value. However, the
power to observe accurately is not nee
essarily accompanied by the power to
express accurately, but the former
must precede the latter. No one can
draw accurately what he has not seen
accurately. And along with this men,
tai development must also go moral
development. Seeing accurately is only
seeing the thing MS it actually is-that
is, seeing the truth; and drawing and
describing are only stating the facts,
or telling the truth. Here is where the
temptations lie. An indolent or care
less pupil finds telling the exact truth
with his pencil point to be arduous,
and is tempted to distort or only par
TALLY represent the truth. But accu-
racy of expression must be a constant
drill in truthfulness.-A. j. McClatchie,
in Popular Science Monthly.

Memphis, TeuD., Aug. S.-While it is

peuiteptiary, can throw any light of I'M.
portauce Oh the Holmes case, much interest
Is taken in his horse-stealing operations,
the mag uitude of which is Just beginning
to be known.
d. A. Merrill, farmer OF this county
who was instrumental in sending Caldwell
to the Tennessee penitentiary twenty-one
years ago, for term of fifteen years,
suffered heavy losses of live stock last wiu-
ter aud this spring. When he learned Cald-
well was in the Arkansas penitentiary,
he resolved to interview him and, if
possible, get the information that would
lead to the recovery of his live stock, and
to this end he made two trips tn Little Rock.
His mission was successful, for Cald-
well not only told him where some of the
stolen stock was. but said that he, among
others. had been the victim of a gigantic
and comprehensive system OF horse steal
ting.
Caldwell claims to have been at the
head of gang which, he says, had rep
resentatives all the way from Cape Girar-
deau to the mouth of the Yazoo River
Caldwell was the horse-stealer in-chief, SO
% speak, and the rest of the gang were
the distributing agencies. Caldwell was
in the habit of sending the stock stolen
by him to one of his agents. and by the
latter the animals would be sold.
Capt Merrill recovered all of TIE stock

SHE MUST DIE THE DEATH
Curious Resolutions by Citizens of q
Georgia County Looking to the Bet
ter Protection OF Men From the
Vengeance of Women who Arc
Murderously Inclined.

Macon, Ca, Aug. s.-Ths voters Of
Twiggs County have passed resolutions
calling on the Governor not to interfere
with the hanging of Mrs Dibble Mobiles,
who has been convicted of the murder of
her husband.
THE USUAL THING.
Several weeks ago, when sentence was
pronounced the women took up the idea
that Mrs. Mobiles had been driven to her
crime by the exactions of her husband, and
they started Q petition to the Governor
to commute her sentence. They wrote to
sister societies in other States, and already
letters are coming in from New York,
Massachusetts, Illinois, aud other States
protesting against the death sentence for
a woman. So strong has the move become
that the male citizens OF the county held
a meeting and issued the following call
for the protection of mon by the execution
of the female murderess:
CURIOUS PROTEST.
whereas public sentiment is such In
this country aud vicinity that IL executive
cieniency is granted under such circum-
stances it would be difficult in future to
prevent lynch law for niUrderers,
Therefore, we earnestly protest again st
the extension in any form of executive
clemency for this murderess. polluted with
the Dfeblood Of her husband, and do here
by declare our perfect confidence in our
chief magistrate and the belief that he
will not swerve from the performance of
his sworn duty by a desire to cater to q
weak senunentaIism or transient public
feeling, inspired, as he IL. by q desire for
equal justice and the sacred execution of
our laws"
THREE FORMER EXECUTIONS.
There have been three women executed
previously in Georgia-a husband poisoner
about 100 years ago; a girl acconlplice in
murder, about twenty years ago, and a
negro woman who was active in the noto-
ious Eastman riot.
