Four Massive Reserves Who Will Keen
Vigil over 1t.
The Philadelphia Ledger OF yesterds az
has the following concerning the Lib.
erty Bell body guard:
"Lleutenans Keyser, OF the Reserves,
called Pstrolmen James a. Robinson,
Harry Hetteroib. Frank T. Westphsl
and Robert Motif into his room st the
City Hall yesterday morning, and in
formed them that they had been SO
lected by Director Beisler as the escor,
to the Liberty Bell to the Atlanta Elk
position.
"He said 1t was hardly necessary for
him to remind thom OF tho priceless
character of the relic, and that they
would have to take turns at guarding /.
oy day and by night against damage by
relic hunters and other causes. The
men who compose the guard have been
selected on account of their cspability
and efficiency as much as for their mar
tial appearance"
j. R. Collingwood received tele
gram yesterday from William McCoach,
a member OF the council OF Philadel-
phia, stating the first notice he sent Mr..
Collingwood was incorrect. and that the
bell would arrive here at $40 D. m.
Saturday instead OF p. m. Sunday

THE ART OF NOVEL WRITING. =

Tho ingenious soul still exists among

study, application, observation and Il dis

supposedly unnecessary. Certainly tho
whole arrangement and grouping is an
affair OF tho judgment; since history may

THE BLESSINGS WE HAVE.


Men seldom realize tho blessings that
surround item, but by seeking some
thing supposed to be better they miss
tho enjoyment of the present. which is
all that they can really call their own.
Hence, when they grow older and in
trospeotion comes with the flaeting
years they look back upon the past and
its 70 EN- cries with tondness that was
foreign to their feelings when the events
themselves occurred. They would give
much to call back those hours from the
shadowy past to emphasize the sweet
ness they brought, but alas they cannot,
and 30 they hag ctionately to de-
parted days which distance makes so
bright and happy. Thus 1t Is we miss
in youth the present pleasures by look
ing for those that never como and in
maturer years we stumble over passing
joys while gazing backward st what
has gone before. The best rule OF life
and the secret of contentment is to
make the most of what we have and
give praise to the Oliver of all things for
the benefits we recsive. With this
spirit to guide our conduct life will be
sweeter, better and purer.

Among the actors deserving special

and the incidentals to the play were In
some respects good. The marvellous
contortion act and dance given by Bes-
