cry. Fortunately, two of them have so
far overcome this natural and reason
able prejudice as to present the world
with one baby Kangaroo, and for this
lovers of natural history should be
grateful.
The rock kangaroo's natural way OF
life is to romp over the sun-baked rocks
Of Australia. He needs piles of rocks
extending for miles and miles. With
them he can have more fun than any
man at any known game. It can easily
be imagined how sad and painful a fate
it is for such an animal to be cooped
up in little inclosure in the heart Of
foggy London.
The mother kangaroo at the London
gardens is still carrying her young one
in the pouch in front of her stomach
provided by nature for that purpose.
It may not be generally known that
the young kangaroo is born before it is
in q condition to stand life out of doors.
It is Immediately placed by the mother
in her pouch, where it remains for sew
cral weeks. Then it takes a peep at the
outside world from the pouch, and then
1t steps out. For a time it returns to
the pouch whenever it is tired or sleepy.

Mr.. Early Rica who lives near
Upshaw in this county on Wednes-
day morning was robbed Of four
hundred dollars by an unknown
white man, whom he met on Noses
creek bridge. Mr. Rice was on his
wsy to Marietta to deposit the mon-
ey in bank. He stopped on the
bridge to fix his harness. The un>
known man asked Mr. Rice to change
a ten dollar bill for him. Mr. Rice
pulled out his pocket book and roll
OF money, when the stranger raised
his open knife and said he would
take it all and grabbed the money.
Mr.. Rice struck at the robber, and
the robber cut at Mr. Rice, cutting
his coat. The robber then jumped

woods. Mr. Rice came on to town

IT is asserted by our opponents
that the free coinage of silver is in

generally many times as much ad'
vantage ss the mine owners can OBJ

purpose of free coinage to specially
aid any particular class, yet those
who believe that the restore ton oil
silver is needed by the whole people
should not be deferred because an
incidental benefit will come to the
mine owner. The erection of forts,
the deepening of harbors, the i'm
provement OF rivers, the erection OF
public bui!dings-alI these confer
incidental benefits upon individuals
and communities, and yet these in
cidental benefits do not deter us
from making appropriations for
these purposes whenever such ap-
preparations are necessary for the

marks of an old man. The head
was covered with coarse hair and on

Popularity is no sign of the value
of mans service to his fellows
One may become popular from hav
ing said or dene some felicitous Of
taking thing which has none OF the
elements of vitality in it; and be
may become unpopular from having
said or done that which ia destined
to mold the ages and elevate the
race. There is a high tide of world
ly success beyond which one cannot
expect to go and be popular. The
world worships the successful man
only up to a certain point, after
which it grows censorious ard looks
for a new idol. He whose sole aim
is to be popular is likely to go down
under it in time, while he whose
aim is to do right can afford to let
popularity come or 60 80 ir pleases.

aad shall ask the populists to dc
the same by us in the counties
which they control. l shall ask
them to aid us in getting An honest
count. If that is done, both parties
should be satisfied with the result. -

In several counties in Indiana the
farmers have become so much
wrought up over the money ques-
ton that they have put up either
big Is to l or gold standard signs in
front of their houses. For dis
lance of eight miles on one of the
country roads, every farmer mas a
sign out, indicating his preference.
1t is an easy matter to see that some
of them will have to take down their
signs after November.

The possibility that Georgia s
presidential electors may be chosen
by the legislature this year, instead
of by the people, is the subject OF
much speculation and comment.
The law requires that unless the
electors on one of the electoral
tickets receive a majority of all the
votes cast, electors must be chosen
by the legislature.
