it passed 100 degrees above US. In fact,
that's about the time the revival began
here. 1t was in 1890 that We fell Our
industries did not stand on the order of
their dying, as Lady Macbeth said;
they just died. They did not even lie
down and die, as folks say they just
dropped dead in their tracks. I don't
say that the failure of Barring Bros. did
it, but soon after the news Of that ar
rived the United States Car company
stopped work. Then all the furnaces

Of the low price of iron. The banks,
with one small exception, held through
it in good shape, and SO did this land
company, the only one in the south that
did, believe. Everything in the manu-
featuring line stopped, and we had to
carry all the laboring people who didn It
leave. You may imagine, then, how
odd it sounded to our folks when speak
ers came along to tell them that con-
gross had caused the trouble in 1894.
We were over it by that time, and now
you see that the vacant houses are fill

the Hercules Pipe works, As tons day

always paid good dividends; the Annis-

bling bands and cotton carpets; the
Woodstock Iron furnace, 125 tons of pig
iron a day; the Admission Lime works;
two large lumber establishments, three
machine and boiler shops and many mi

There's a romance about the build
ing Of Admission. The founders made
their money on charcoal iron, and made
piles of it too. When depression came,
they stacked it away, and when the
boom Of 1S79-S0 came on their profits
were enormous. And they were profuse-
" generous. Look at that splendid
church of st. Michael and All Angels;

John ". Noble as a monument to his
brother, Samuel Noble-built of stone
and marble. And Grace Episcopal church
was built by the iron company at a cost
of $50, 600. There are two other church
es costing $50, 900 each. In fact, there
isn't really poor looking church in the
place, unless it is some of the colored,
and the liberality OF the founders did

land company took the district in charge
and now a great success is assured.
The company has laid off the tract in
ten acre lots, and each purchaser is re-

grape vines. If he does not care to do
the work, the company does it for him
at a cost of $50 per acre. The chief exc

would become the greatest health resort
in the country. The elevation averages
1,100 feet above the sea, the summers

north, the soil is of such nature that
there is little or no mud, and for three
months the invalid can live on grapes
just from the vine, az Is the regimen

Topeka ". C. T. U. to Establish a Training
School for Poor Girls.
The subject of local industrial school
for girls has appeared on the surface
again in Topeka. The w. C. T. q. has
charge of the agitation this time.
1t is proposed that rooms be fitted up
this winter in connection with the Asso-
ciated Charities rooms, and that girls
who do not know how to cook and sew,
aad who have no way of supporting
themselves in an honorable way, shall be
given an opportunity to learn how by
preparing for wear the clothing sent in
for the poor and the food for eating.
Said one of the women projectors to-
day: 'There are large number of girls
in Topeka now who cannot earn an hon
orable living because they don't know
how. We propose to give them the op-
portunity of learning as they do in other
cities"
Mrs A. B. Perrine, Mrs. L E. Thorpe
and DR.. Kirby have been appointed a
committee by the w. c. 7. Q. to prepare
the plan. They will meet in DR.. Kirby's
Office tomorrow afternoon at 4 O'Clock.

He ApoIoRized.

A member of. well known athletic
club, riding along at an easy pace, was
overtaken by another wheel which
didn't turn out in time, and rear end
collision was the result. When the club
man recovered from the shock, he found
himself lying on his back with the bag
gy knee of pair of trousers across his
face. Furious at the stupidity of the
other rider, he struggled to get up,
shouting:
'Why the devil do you ride like that?"

"Oh, Lord! girl groaned the
young man. "And l went and swore at
her." and his contrition increased when
he picked himself up and saw gazing up
at him from around the wreckage a very
pretty face, flushed with modification.
Lifting the owner to her feet, the young
man tried to apologize.
''Awfully sorry. I thought that it
was some idiot of man that had run
into me. That is-er-er-I don It mean
you're an idiot, you know; if I'd
known that you were, I wouldn't have

were bloomers-I mean if I'd known it

mounted and sped away SO madly that
he narrowly escaped wrecking a street

season of the year.

give her time Suppose, by the way,
you send Henrietta out to advise her. "
Henrietta was the housemaid. She was
called in and commissioned to proceed
to the stronghold of the obdurate Esmer-
aida and undertake to reason with the
fiery haired maiden.
As envoy extraordinary and minister
p1enipotentiary to the court of Esmer-
aida the urbane Henrietta lasted about
so seconds.
She came back in frantic haste, pale
and trembling.
Esmeralda had met her friendly over
lures by flinging the ice pick at her.
Then Billiger McSwat rose up in his
wrath. He went to the home Of Lobe
las parents and bribed her youngest
brother to go for policeman and an
express wagon in hot haste.
Returning home, he sat in the room
adjoining the kitchen, with his hat on,
grinding his teeth and waiting. He was
protecting Lobelia. Not for worlds
would he leave her in the house with
that girl!
An hour afterward policeman and
an express wagon made their appear
ance simultaneously in front of the Nc
Swat mansion.
There was brief but spirited action
in the kitchen, and at it's close Miss Es-
meralda McGinnis, ex-kitchen girl Of
the McSwats, emerged from the build
ing.
She was followed shortly by her per-
sonal baggage, all and singular, and
with the assistance Of the officer the en-
tire outfit was loaded into the wagon
and driven away, Esmeralda shaking
her fist vehemently at the house and
moving her chin volubly as long as she
was in sight. Long after she had dis
appeared from view BilEger McSwat
sat in the room adjoining the kitchen,
with his hat On, breathing hard, and
occasionally darting look of defiance
through the solid door that separated
him from the empty room.
He was still protecting Lobelia. -

the greatest show the south has ever

scenes in Atlanta just now are wonder
fully enlivening, what with the bril-

open air music and the many theaters
all crowded nightly. Yet one does get
tired of living in a hubbub, and Attain

more, lovely autumn is just now at her
loveliest. This season is so long and so
mild and its changes are so gradual and
soothing in this latitude. It was no

Dean Hole, a celebrated and witty
English churchman, once received a
note from an acquaintance at Oxford
which had been started thus, my dear

then been scratched out and ''Hole''
substituted. This was, of course, to
convey the idea that the writer CORE
sponded with countess and had used
her title by inadvertence.
