PoIitencss in children.
From The YOUTHS Companion

Henry Ward Beecher said, "Politeness Is
religious duty, and should be part of a
religious training" The law of politeness
applies to men and women quite az much
as to children. and If courtesy and kind
ness are the natural expression of parents
the children win naturally adopt good
manners. A writer in the Union Signal
tells of visit to a home In which the mo-

coUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
At Work With His Moulds When an
officer Sprang Upon Him.

Atlanta, Ca. May 14-John Jackson,
negro 80 years old. was arrested this morn
ing at 2l2 Rhodes street for making coun-
!, terfeit money.
! The man admits his guilt and says that
: he had no accomplices.
The arrest was made by Capt. J. NJ.
Wright of the United States secret ser
vice.
Three months ago counterfeit money In
ouarters halves and dollars canneeinto al
most general circulation among the small
or stores in nearly every section of the
city. The money was well made and
considerable of it was offered at banks ana
taken at some of them.
The city detective department and the
limited States secret service officers could
find no clue to the counterfeiters.
The character of the money led the Off
GERS 10 believe that an experienced man
was doing the molding. Many of the
coins were found in stores, where they
had been passed by negroes, but the off,
GERS did not think that a negro was To-
ing the work.
Al first they declined to give any credence
to ne story that jackson was the guilty
man. He is ignorant and decidedly rural ia
appearance, and does not at a glance seem
t. have even ordinary intelligence, yet de-
Y Iopments show HIM to be one of the most
s.lful counterfeiters in the country.
I.ast night the officers decided TO watch
the house of Jackson. This morning he
turned a ferocious BUN dog into the yard
few minutes later the dog discovered
Wright and made a fierce attack upon
him. The officer did not want TO betray
his presence to the counterfeiter and at
tempted to beat the dog Off He failed to
succeed in this and was obliged to shoot
him.
AS soon as the shot was fired the officer
sprang into the house and caught jackson
in the work room. He had three molds
and one of them. a quarter mold. was hot,
showing that the man was at work when
the dog made his attack on the officer.

Additional Sadness Added to the

Atlanta, Ga, May 1.-THE funeral of

night, took place this afternoon. 1t was
largely attended by friends of the young
lady, whose untimely death caused deep
impression on the community. A geat

Another saddening feature of the case
became known to-day Miss Moore was
engaged to be married to Richard NJ. Haw-
kins of Norfolk, Va. The wedding was
TO have taken place next month, and Mr.
Hawkins was just on the eve of depart

He was coming here to talk over the final
details of the wedding, but instead ar

From Which Dam

Poison Re-
suits.

1t matters not how blood
poison is acquired, whether by
Inheritance or accident, it is
stubborn, obstinate disease
and one which the doctors find
themselves unable to success
fully treat. Whenever there is
the slightest impurity in The
blood, any accident which pro-
duces even o trivial bruise or
confusion Of the flesh, is likely
to result seriously. Chronic
sores and ulcers often result
from such causes, and in many
cases they are SO obstinate that
it takes years to get rid of them
The doctors are unable to cure
such cases because potash and
mercury (the only remedies
which they ever prescribe for the
bloody tend to shut in the pois-
on and dry it up in the blood.
Here it lies dormant for a while,
only to break out in a more ag-
gravated form than before.
This treatment is continued
and the same conditions exist
for years, the old sore or ulcer
becoming a constant compan-
ion to those whom it affiicts.

well-known distiller of fine Ken

an experience, and he is 50 de-
