"A SAD NIGHT"
How Carlyle and Leigh Hunt Dff-
f~red Even About the Sky.

How Carlyle aud Leigh Hunt Dtf-
f~red Even About the SKY.
Leigh Hunt and Carlyle were once
present at u small party of equally well
known men II happened that the con-
versation rested with these two, and the
others sat, we'll pleased to listen. Leigh
Hunt talked on in bis bright and hope
full way, when Carlyle would drop some
heavy tree trunk across his pleasant
stream and bank it mp with philosophic-
al doubts and objections at every inter
val. but Hunt never ceased his joyous
anticipations nor saturnipe Carlyle his
infinite demuIs. The listeners laughed
and applauded by turns, and now fairly
pitted them against each other as the
philosophers Of hopefulness and unhope-
fulness. The contest continued with
ready wit, philosophy, pleasantly and
profmdity and extensive knowledge OF
books and character.
The opponents were 30 we'll matched
that it was quite clear that the contest
would last indefinitely, bat night was
far advanced. and the party now broke
up. They all sailed forth. and. leaving
the close room. the candles and the Ar
guments behind them. found themselves
under most brilliant and starlight sky.
They looked up. Carlyle can have no
answer to this, thought Hunt and
shouted: "Therei Look at that glorious

Carlyle looked up. They all remained
silent to hear what he would say. They
began to think he was silenoed at last
bot out Of the silence came few low
toned words in broad Scotch accent:
"Eh. it's sad nightP'
They all laughed and then looked
thoughtful. There might be some reason
for sadness, too-that brilliant 6rma-
ment perhaps contained infinite worlds

JOHN WANAMAKEE'S DOCTOR.

Men who make and manage great Ior-
tunes aud are part OF the business and

PEELED to resort to every expedient to
save time. Every moment has its value
to them. II is not generally known,
no wever, that 1t Is not rare thing for
such men TO pay doctor for looking
them up at all sorts Of times and see
that they do not break down. There are
several business men In this city who
have this sort Of an arrangement, but
John WansmAker, it Is said, was the
first OF them TO adopt this time-saving
and life-saving scheme.
II would appear that the life Insurance

makers life for more than 81, l,000, 600
could al i,rd to pay q doctor to look
after him. but they don't. Mr.. Wanna
maker never goes to the doctor. The
doctor hunts Mr.. Wsnsmsker up and is
responsible for his health. At least Il
used TO be so. The physician bad carte
blanche to see him upon all occasions.
He might come In and look at him only,
or he might ask to see the great mer-
chants tongue or feel his pulse. Mr..
wausmaker was never too busy to see
the doctor, but ne WAS too busy to look
him up, and the result has been that the
former saves time and health, and the
latter gets comfortable salary. The
plan pays them both. = Philadelphia

Inc low pressure is due TO the waste

Some Recent Magazine Stories About
GEN. OgIethOrpe.


There was little but routine business at
the December meeting of the Georgia His
torical Society last night. When misceI-
laneous business was being considered.
Mr.. William Harden presented to the So
ciety some old papers by George Walton
upon the subject OF the pine barren lands
in this section of the state which he had
received from Mr.. Charles Henry Hart of
Philadelphia. The records were dated 1893
and were from the papers of Hon. Robert
Morris They are interesting relics, and
will form quite an addition to the society s
collection
These papers led Col. George A. Mercer
to mention an article in the December Cos
mopolitan upon the subject of Jekyl ISL
and, which Col. Mercer thought gave a
great deal of interesting data that he had
never seen before. Col. Mercer said it was
mentioned that Gen. Oglethorpe lived at
one time on Jekyl Island with his wife.
The article also published several letters
purporting to have been written by Mrs.
Oglethorpe, containing accounts of some
very amusing incidents on the island. Col.
Mercer said he never knew before that
Gen. Oglethorpe was married.
He certainly was not at that time" said
Mr. Harden That article must be fab
ricalion throughout Gen. Ogiethorpe did
not marry until he returned to England,
and as there was no Mrs. Oglethorpe on
this side, she could hardly have written
the letters described. A similar thing oc-
CURED about two years ago. A colonial ar
ticle containing much interesting data on
the same subject appeared in a New Eng
land magazine, and it was a tissue of
falsehood from beginning to end l am
surprised that such things are accepted
by reputable publicati TONS"
