Asserted Himself.

It was Sunday afternoon. and the old
gentleman responded in person when the
doorben rang. Furthermore, the old gen.
tleman was not in the best humor, says
the Chicago Post However of course the
young man didn't know that, or he would
have been ready to dodge.
The young man, IL may be explained,
Just to show that everything was in ac-
cordance with the rules of polite society,
never had met the old gentleman, but he
had met the old gentleman's wife and the
old gentleman's daughter and had been in
Vited 20 call whenever he was I'm the city,
and il so happened that he was in the city
this lovely Sunday afternoon.
"Is-aw-Miss Brown in?" asked the
young man.

man had his opinion of anyone who said

either Consequently he growled out
something to the effect that she was not

man.
The old gentleman didn't know. but he
took IL for granted and made no further
comment.
Then It seemed to dawn upon the young
man. who was fumbling for a card, that
perhaps he had made a mistake.
This is-aw-her house, isn't it?" he
asked
at Is not" returned the old gentleman
blunuy.
"Oh-aw- beg a thousand pardons."
said the young man. Thought Il was, you
know. So sorry. My mistake"
lie was turning away when another
thought occurred to him. ana he quickly
turned back again.

The park and tree commission did not
exhibit great financial ability when it
spent a years appropriation in five
months There is no question upon that
point Several Of the members of the com
mission, If not indeed all of them, are not
tyros in finance or business; but collec-
lively it seems to be in evidence that the
commissioners forgot the fact that efforts
to spend more than one has. usually get
the spender into trouble. However, the
appropriation is gone, and there is still
six months work to be done.
No committee could do better and more
satisfactory work than the park and tree
commission has done. No committee
could carry on that work with so much
satisfaction to the pubic as could the com
mission. There is no room for question
that the city has received good value for
every cent that has been expended. Had
the commission put every cent of the APP
preparation into Forsyth park the invest
ment would have been good one. When
the commission took hold of the park it
was a "howling Wilderness" with mil
dewed walks, scraggy shrubbery and I'M
kempt flower beds. Now it is a place of
freshness and beauty, to which every cit
izen may point with pride. And what has
been accomplished is merely a beginning,
as compared with what will be shown
later.
Good work has been done on Oglethorpe
avenue also. That avenue is destined to
become one of the most beautiful in the
world. 1t is possibly true that under the
commissions orders some trees were cut
down which might have been spared; but
everybody could not have a voice in the
matter. so the removals and replantings
were made. Since the commissions plans
have been developed to a considerable ex-
tent on the avenue it becomes plain that
the plans were well chosen and well exc
cuted.
1t would he a mistake to stop the COM
mission in it's work. For years there has
been a demand for just such a body, and
al the moment the demand is more urgent
than ever before. Council should not de-
lay in making provision for the commits
sion to maintain the improvements which
have been so we'll begun. The commits
soners are all well-known citizens, and
have devoted their time and Talents to
the work without hope of reward except
such reward as comes from the approval
of their appreciative fellow-citizens. Coun-
Gil can afford to give the commission more
money because, while it is true that the
appropriation has been overrun. good
work has been done, the city has received
the benefits, the mass of the people APP
prove the work, and want a lot more of
it as soon as it can be had

A correspondent of Scottish Nights, writ
ing from India regarding the theory that
the jugglers perform their tricks by will
power" says:
During the course of the Indian mutt
ny l made the acquaintance of one of
these gentlemen of India, who tried to in
struct me how to perform these tricks.
He said it was all imaginary on the part
of the spectators. as he simply willed that
they should see those things.
The most exciting performance that
he gave for my amusement was the con-
verting of a bamboo stick into a native
serN ant, who waited at table and supplied
our wants.
"Afterward-in his absence-I tried it on
and TO my surprise the same man was be-
fore me asking for instructions. I direct
ed him to fill the chatties in the veran-
dab with water from the well in the COM
pound This he proceeded to do. When he
had filled them all to overlooking l request
ed him to stop. He, however, took no no
tce of me and went on stOlidly bringing
in the water. until, in my excited magma
ton. it seemed that the bungalow would
be washed away.
Finding that l could not arrest or stop
his movements, he passing through me as

and lay in wait for him. Making a slash,
/ apparently cut him in twain, when, 10!
there were two men bringing in the water,
neither of whom could l restrain or pre-
vent from doing So
Il was completely out of my depth, when
I heard a quiet laugh behind me, and on
turning l found it was my instructor. who
held up his right hand and the two men
disappeared the stick resuming its place
in the veTanda. and, to crown all, there
was not the slightest sign of any water
having been brought in. l excitedly APP
peaed to him for an explanation. He said
that he had been present all the time, hav-
ing wiled that he should be invisible to
me, and that / should imagine myself to
see and do what 1 thought had taken place.
I'm order to prove it, he asked me to
step out into the compound and direct my
attention to a huge cavern, which l knew
was not there before. AS / entered a num-
Der of huge elephants and camels issued
from it in a continuous stream. yet l
could not touch one of them. They appa-
rently passed over me as though 1 did not

cavern and animals disappeared and there
was no indication of am exodus of any
kind ="

Some men are born great; others have
greatness thrust upon them" Mr.. Van
derbilts Turnkey at Bntmore near Ashe-
Vile. who tried to rule out newspaper men
from his masters place, belongs to the
latter class. His little brief authority has
spoiled him However, before he is many
DAYS older be will probably wish he had
never been born. The people of this coun-
try invariably condemn ill-manners. and
neither the millionaire nor the turnkey are
above reproof by public opinion.
AT the same time it must be said that
the Biltmore turnkey is merely one of a
large class, the members Of which imagine
that newspaper men are fair subjects for
snuhbings. Persons of that class lack the
qualities of the true gentleman, for the
gentleman never snubs anyone. He is al
ways considerate and courteous to all per-
sons, is of even temper and willing to
oblige. The true gentleman, it is to be re-
lated with sadness, does not exist in over
Astounding quantities. He is in the minor
ity. Indeed. sometimes it would almost
seem that he were very rare bird. Some
OF those who would feel grossly insulted
If their claim to the title of gentleman
were questioned are i'm the habit OF treat

they were rufnans or loafers when they
ask politely with regard to matters of
news. Some OF those would-be-called gen.
tlemen treat unknown book agents and
peripatetic beggars with more courtesy
than they do their fellow citizens who are
making honest and honorable livings at
reporting the news for the daily papers.
OF course there are some reporters who
are not themselves gentlemen; there are
some of them who deserve to be turned
down." But the number is exceedingly
small. In proportion to the number en-
gagged in the calling, Il may be asserted
that there are more true gentlemen re-
porting for the daily newspaper press than
there are engaged in any other vocation

Her Consolation.

George" exclaimed Mrs. Lawson, ac-
cording to the Cleveland Leader, 'let me
see that paper a minute. There's some
thing in Fugleman's advertisement on the
last page, about giving something away to
every customer"
Mr.. Lawson handed the paper over to
his sweet little wife, and went on eating
his breakfast
Il hope they won't all be gone" she said
aloud as She read the announcement, be
fore I can get there"
What are they going to give away?''
her husband asked.
"a beautiful tea caddy to every purchas-
er of a dollars worth of goods or more, -
she excitedly returned Il wouldn't miss
getting one of them for anything"
what do you intend to buy?" he inquir-
ed
"Oh, don't know yet. But there are lots
of things l can find to make up the dollars
worth. A tea caddy's the very thing I've
been wanting this long time, and 1
wouldn't miss the chance for good deal"
He kissed her and went away, but when
he got home again, at night. he found in
place Of the happy wife he had left that
morning a little woman who was the pic
ture of woe.
Whats the matter?" George Lawson
asked.
He had forgotten about the tea caddy
anu ledIeQ Judl Ddu news OF some KIM
had preceded him.
Il shall never buy another cents worth
of anything in Fugleman's store as long
as l live" his darling replied.
oh" he said, remembering the adver-
tisement in the morning paper, didn't
they give you a tea caddy after ALP
yes" she replied in scornful tones
''they gave me one. But look at it!'
Then she handed out little earthen jar
with a nick in it, that, if it had been per-
feet, might have been worth or 10 cents.
"Why didn't you make them give you a
good one?" he asked, patting her cheek
and trying to make her believe that he
sympathized with her.
Il did ask for a good one she sobbed;
but what do you think the impudent clerk
said?"
II haven't any idea. If it was anything
disrespectful I'll go and lick him..
He asked me if l wanted the earth"
the weeping woman declared.
ooh, he did, did he?"
Eyes, and there I'd just bought dol
lars worth of goods that l don't suppose
I'll ever need!'

Then he told her not to care, and kissed
her, and made her think that he didn't
object to the squanderng of the dollar at
all, and al length her gloom disappeared.
AS they sat down to tea she suddenly
said. with a glad look upon her face:
I'D feel awfully bad about it, dear, if I
hadn't seen the caddies that some of the
other women got. They were all cracked,
or damaged in some way"
But her husband made no reply. He was
thinking.

The Georgia Bar Association.

With its fourteenth annual ses-
sion. which will begin July
at Warm Springs, the
Georgia Bar Association will have COM
pleted it's fifteenth year, carrying with it
a record Of which any association of the
kind might we'll be proud. This is evil
denced from it's annual publication con-
tanning a stenographic report of its pro-
ceedings. with copies of all papers, ad-
dresses and committee reports. There are
few associations whose reports rank so
high as do those of the Georgia Bar
Association. They are found in the lead
ing state and law libraries of the coun-
try, and, it is safe to say, have added
much to Georgias reputation abroad
among the critical scholars in the legal
profession.
These reports record in part the history
OF the state. They deal with the current
and progressive thought of one of the fore
most professions. and the historian of the
future will undoubtedly find them valu-
able. The reforms in judicial procedure
the quickening of the wheels of justice
in many instances, especially the rapid
disposition of criminal cases by the SUI
preme court the increase in the number
of the supreme court judges thus adding
TO the efficiency Of that court, the tim-
plihcation of pleadings and other reforms
have been brought about indirectly by the
Georgia Bar Association. These REFORMS
were initiated at its meetings, and the
impetus given such movements there
spread until the legislature caught the inn
pulse.
This association includes a large pro-
portion of the leading and most influential
members of the Georgia bar. The judges
OF the supreme. superior and city courts
are honorary members. Active member
ship is open to any member of the Geor-
gia bar in good standing. The associa,
ton is undoubtedly a factor for great
good and tends not only to the elevation
of the profession. but also to the advan-
tage and benefit of the people whom the
profession serves.

Pnrdoninr Convicts.

Yesterday the Morning News contained
a dispatch announcing the arrest in New
York Of a noted thief and bank robber
named John Price He is the man who
robbed a bank In Augusta in 1884, and
with his accomplice was sentenced to the
Georgia penitentiary for term Of seven
years. In 1857, however, he was pardoned,
and went out to continue the course Of
his criminal career where it had been
temporarily stopped by the Georgia au-
thorities. II may be doubted that he
has RETAINED from criminality for a sin
gle day since he was discharged from
the Georgia penitentiary. He is a pro-
fsssional criminal and has been known a
such for a long time 1t is possible that
he will get his just deserts at the hands
OF tho New York authorities, and spend
some years in the prisons Of that state.
When professional criminals are safe in
Jail, it is better that they should be kept
there just as long as possible In G0or-
gia, and many other states, no sooner is
z smart. shrewd criminal put in prison
than he sets 70 work to get out, and
there are nearly always forces on the
outside ready to cooperate with him. He
writes to the lawyer who defended him
upon trial to secure his aid, and often the
best help he gets is from that source. Pc
titions for pardon are gotten up, and if
they are worked properly there is a fair
chance that the prosecuting attorney and
the convicting jury, with a good backing
of very reputable but weak citizens, will
join in a prayer for executive clemency.
AS an outcome, the felon secures a par
don, and is turned loose to prey again
upon the public. Occasionally a governor
with Grover Cleveland backbone" de-
clines to pardon the criminals but the
exceptions are few. With sophomore
judges, Demos henian lawyers and juries
well sprinkled WITH cranlSs, or worse, the
criminal has a good chance of escaping
even conviction. If he should be so I'M
lucky as to lack the advantages referred
to, he falls back upon the pardoning
power
Thousands upon thousands of dollars

try every year for the purpose Of bring

Just now. let it be known, there is an
oasis in the desert of injustice to justice.
1t is in Atlanta. The courts in Fulton

Atlanta's example in this matter will do
much toward encouraging a prompt en-
forcemeDt of the law in other parts of
the country, and especially in Georgia.
Men like Price, the bank robber, and
other criminals, should be punished, not
so much for punishments sake, but for
the safety of society and to deter others
from crime.
