The neck finish is either a tie with a sailor knot

Women are retrospective by nature. Nino out

proof OF 1t. A woman mover grows too old to
wonder why certain men are attracted to her

her she begins to look within and ask herself,
"what is In me that he likes, - or "Now, what

The Bombardment OF Atlanta.

When Sherman bombarded Atlanta
for forty days and fred hundreds of
shells into the city, comparatively
few citizens were killed. The fortif-
cations of the city were common
earthworks of red clay, and it is said
they were about as good after the
siege as they were before the first
gun was fred. The shot and shell
poured into these banks of dirt seemed
to make them bigger and more inde-
structible. The first she'll fell in At
lanta July 20, 1864, and killed little
child. During the first few days the
shells terrified the people, but after
week or so even the women became
accustomed to them. A number Of
casualties followed, one shell explod-
ing in funeral procession, scatter
ing four coffins and dispensing the
mourners; another burst in the mar
ket-house, but did not iniure any of
the thirty people present. During
the bombardment hundreds of stores
kept open all the time, the newspapers
came out as usual, ard the streets
were crowded with people; yet in the
entire six weeks there were less than
one hundred persons killed in the city.

Temperance News and Notes..

Temperance is the handmaid OF religion
There are evils other than drink. But
drink is the evil that opens the door fol
many others.
Were the disposition to indulge in "treat,
Ing" eliminated, the drink problem would
be less serious.
Under present conditions Of life In this
country, liquor is the most persistent and
insidious foe Of the home.
Read temperance literature. Let tn.
children be educated on the subject. Life'f
problem is for them later on. II they be
temperate they will have better chance
OF reaching the right solution.
The saloon is sometimes called tn,
working mans club" The name lts
closely In some ways. Many of the meI
seen coming out OF saloons look as though
somebody had been clubbing them pretty
effectually.
The strongest appeal to the victim Oh
drink Is the appeal OF religion. The ties Of
fraternity, of friendship, OF comradeship
OF home, are oil weaker than that Of faith.
