Why Some Women Grow Old.

One reason why the average woman
wears out, grows old and plain before
her husband, says writer, is that
through mistaken idea of duty she
lays out for herself at the beginning
of her married life, scheme or plan
of duty and employment for her time,
every hour filled with work, with rare
and short periods of relaxation. This
she follows religiously for years, feel
ing that she has done her duty, be-
cause every household event occurs
regularly and on time, while she soon
becomes merely machine, a thing
without life of itself or volition. She
settles into her rut, and goes round
and round in the same track cverlast-
ingly. No woman can keep bright
ness, originality Of thought and
speech, or even mere prettiness with
such a life; nor can she keep her hus-
band and growing children full Of
loving admiration, which is the strong
est chain by which she can bind them
to her.
The finest compliment we ever
heard paid to woman was by her
husband; and he said, in speaking Of
her. "We always think of her as a
morning-glory, because she looks SO
bright and CHEEKY and pretty at the
breakfast table" How many break
fast tables are presided over by wo-
men who make no effort to be dainty
and there are great number who are
at once untidy and even uncleanly to
look at. The claim that household
duties keep women from looking well
in the morning is easily disproved,
for in many household where the
lady gives a helping hand in the
kitchen, a big apron will thoroughly
protect her dress, and then, too, cook
ing, unless one makes it so, is never
dirty work. That woman commits an
error who looks uncared for and badly
dressed in the morning. The other
woman, who wears any old thing tc
the breakfast table. is also making q
mistake, for that is the time when the
men of the household ought to see q
woman at her best, ana not specially
rely on her appearance in the evening.

he would then think that the people
Of Georgia were, to put it i'll mild
form, very queer people. Then if
he undertook to make new departure
and start up a sheep or goat ranch, he
would be met with the caution that
the State encouraged the former but
not the latter industry; that if he
chose to do differently from the Ro-
mans he must seek other fields than
Georgia.

SAM JONES
Writes On Lessons in Life. .

l said once that could prove that no
gentleman that God ever made would
go into saloon, and some fellow hol-
Tered out: "Prove it, 1 said
;'Will any lady go iato one?' He
hollered "No." "Fhen, said ], IF

All, gentlemen, there is the rub.
You not only want double standard
bimetallism. 16 to 1 in dollars and
cents, but you want double standard
for man and woman-one standard
erected to the skies for women and
another one on level with the mud
holes for men. There is not lady
in Atlanta who hasn't as much right
to get drunk and swear and gamble as
any man in Atlanta, God being the
Judge. There isn't a preacher in At
lanta who hasn't as good right to rent
property to saloon and bawdy houses,
or to belong to the Capital City Club,
or to go into saloon and drink liquor
as any man in Atlanta, God being the
Judge. This world has lifted certain
standards for certain classes, but God
lifts the same standard for ali.
I am sure that if I were to go into a
saloon and take drink the next time
I visit Atlanta it would be telegraphed
out Of Atlanta by the Associated
Press that Sam Jones was in Atlanta
drinking liquor to-day, but there are
thousands of so-called gentlemen who
go in and drink every day and there
is nothing said about it. Nobody
notices them. | tell you, my neigh
bors, there is a tremendous difference
between a gentleman and a vagabond,
and [ thank God for the difference.
If [ we're to stand on the streets OF
Atlanta and swear an oath it would be
heralded all over this country that
Sam Jones was in Atlanta cussing !:
but thousands of so-called gentlemen
stand on her streets and curse every
day and are no more noticed than a
dog barking, A blind man can see
the difference between a vagabond and
gentleman. The world will make
him see. If I was that drunken wo-
man I would stand on my rights and
fight the universe and show them that
woman has some rights as well as some
wrongs.
see with pleasure that che taber-
nacle meetings every Sunday after
noon in Atlanta held by the pastors
are success. Go it pastors God
bless you in the work ! And I would
persuade the people of Atlanta to
attend these meetings. Throw your
weight and influence with them and
before the ides of April you will see
results that will not only quicken
your faith, but go far beyond your
present expectations. Atlanta is a
godly city in many ways. She has
many noble citizens and more good
women than any town almost that I
know of her size, but the devil has a
mighty force in Atlanta working for
him day and night and that force must
be counteracted. Overcome evil with
good. Yours truly,
SAM P. JONES.

At recent bankers convention was
made the statement that there is in this
country sixteen hundred millions Of
money, and that they, the bankers,
have loaned the public FIVE billions, that
is over three times all the money in the
country Taking these figures, it shows
an alarming state of things. The Amer
ican people, then, are paying interest
on this vast amount, at an average in
terest probably of not less than per
cent-that is s400, 100000 year. Is it
any wonder we have two to three humid
red failures a week2 Does not usury
have its victims? These are the sacri
fees to msmmon.
But these billions are not the bankers
money. 1t is the money Of the deposit
ories, loaned over and over. A deposit
is loaned to B, who pays it out TO @,
and Q deposits and the bank soon loans
it to D, and 30 on. In this way are the
five billions piled up, and in this way do
the public work it's own ruin. Gov.

RESULTS OF THE WAR.

The London, Canada, Advertiser, thus
sums up the results Of the war between
this country and Spain:
/. Spain has lost all her possessions
in the western hemisphere, and will
probably lose all her outside possessions.
2. The war has thoroughly destroyed
any sectionslism that had survived as
between North and South.
8. The view Of the United States has
been withdrawn forever from local OF
parish politics The day of necessar'
lily widened or world view has arrived.
4. The United States now denotes o
colonial or imperial power. Like Eng
land and France, she is now possessoi
OF colonies.
3. The war has been the incidental
means Of creating bond Of friendlinesI
and sense of mutuality OF interests be
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
8. TIE destruction of the two Spanish
Fl iaets and the capture Of Santiago have
resulted in an enormous increase II
respect for the power of the United
States on the part Of the nations o
continental Europe.

COMMANDERS AGREED.
A Denial That Sampson and Schley Dif-
fered Regarding Entering San
tiago Harbor.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Son July 81
Admiral Sampson wrote telegram and
letter to Secretary Long regarding an
Associated Press dispatch, in which
Commodore Schley was made to say
that he had stated, apparently to the
writer, that he had over and over again
declared it was possible to enter the
harbor of Santiago, Notwithstanding the
mines. He further said in the letter:
Commodore Schley called upon me
yesterday and voluntarily stated that
the publication of the articleon the 10th
was false in every particular; that he
not only never stated anything of the
kind, but that he had never even
thought of it; that he had always en-
tirely agreed with me ON this question,
and that he did not know single Off.
Ger whose opinion differed from mine. I"
Secretary Long asked The Associated
Press manager for the source.
Q. A. BOyton, the manager, replied
in part as follows:
"This letter was not written by either
of our representatives with the squad
ron off Santiago, but by another gentle.
man who was temporarily on one Of
our dispatch boats. The dispatch was
not subject to censorship.
"Our Mr.. Graham, who has been
constantly with Commander Schley
since his squadron assembled at Hamp-
ton Roads, and is probably more ia
miliar with his views than any news.
paper man at Santiago, says that Com.
mander Schley was always In complete
accord with Admiral Sampson as to the
question Of entering the harbor. He
quotes Commander Schley as saying:
"'Admiral Sampson and had always
agreed that it would be foolish to enter
the harbor with the mines in place and
the condition Of the mines proved that
Admiral Sampson was correct"
