The Joker,s Happy Death.

The funny man. whose business it was
to construct the weekly page of jokes for
the Sunday Yell, lay on a hospital cot
swathed in bandages, says an exchange.
He was not long for this earth Early
that morning he had tried conclusion with
the front end Of an electric car, with the
usual results. The funny mans lips NOV
ed and he muttered incoherently. A hos
pital inferno stepped softly to the side of
the sufferers cot and bent his head for
ward to listen
Il care not to live" murmured the
jokist. The one light in my dreary exist
ence went out last week when my precious
one passed away from this earth"
'Ies?" said the young surgeon inter-
negatively.
"she is dead" continued the dying man.
During her lifetime we lived together at
the same boarding house She did society
for the Yell and wrote poetry for the
Iolanthe. 1 called her 10 for brevity."
"Indeed?" said the surgeon softly.
Last week." went on the professional
jokist, ''she attended a wedding in a cold
damp church, wrote an account of the GER
emory for the Yell, came home and was
taken Ill. Two days later she died and
left me in despair All! Sweet Ior'
The surgeon, visibly affected by the suf-
ferer's tale, could not festrain his own
emotion.
Very sad,' he murmured in the dying
mans ear. What did 10 die of?'
light of triumph came for one brief
instant in the jokers fast dimming eyes
as he answered "Iodide of potassium, -
and passed away before the startled and
enraged surgeon could jump with both
feet on his face.

A meeting Of club women in New York
the other day discussed the question,
Should nurses be plain or pretty? Female
nurses were referred to, of course. And
it appears that the verdict Of the assem-
blage was that it depended altogether up
on circumstances; very clear and logi-
cal verdict. to be rendered by club wo-
men, it must be admitted.
The discussion of the query developed a
line of demarkation in the club. On one
side were arrayed the attractive young
women who, moved by a delicate consid-
GRAFTON for the susceptibiiities of their
husbands, brothers and friends, pleaded
for good looking nurses. They felt very
confident of their own powers, hence had
nothing to fear from possible competition
On the other side there were some who
thought it not right for pretty faces and
model figures to be placed where there
was danger that they would tempt the
husbands or affianced lovers of Others
One of the speakers told fearful tale
of an invalid wife, dutiful husband and
a pretty trained nurse, in which the duti-
fingered long together over the breakfast
coffee, with the result that the invalid
wife did not get her physic at the proper
hour according to the doctors directions.
In view of the large number of young
women who are In the army service and
the others who are In hospitals and homes
as professional nurses, this matter of
pretty or plain?" becomes one of wide
interest. And, as in all others, there are
two sides to this question. There are those
who hold that there Is no pretty woman
who is not vain to a greater or less de-
gree, and that a vain trained nurse is LA
bic to make trouble where there are men
around. They say that homely nurses
think less of themselves and more of their
business, hence are more useful to the
doctor. The nurse should be taken for
the good to be accomplished, not for her
personal appearance.
On the other hand there are those who
claim that, from a strictly medico-psycho-
logical point of view, the prettler the nurse
the better her chances for making a sue
cess of her calling. Physicians recognize
the value of complacency of mind in pa
tients, Whatever tends to soothe, to take
the mind away from the apment, to in
spire sentiment and hope, conduces to the
welfare of the sick. Music, birds, flowers
and bright landscapes from sunny win
dows have positive curative value. Like
wise there is power to heal in the tender
administrations of a fair woman. There
is magic in the touch of a COOL soft hand
upon fevered brow, especially when a
charming face bends over to note how the
sufferer is feeling. That. 1t may be said,
Is about the average masculine point of
view. But after all. the verdict of the
woman's club in New York is probably
about as good solution of the matter as
can well be arrived at; it all depends upon
circumstances

BUT FEW WANT TO GO.

Only eighteen men of the four compan-
les of the First Battalion of the Second
Georgia Regiment want to remain in the
army. We are not surprised at that The
men enlisted to fight-to free Cuba from
the cruel rule of Spain. If there had been
a call for men to do garrison duty very few
of them would have enlisted. Most of them
have places awaiting them. They are not
the kind of men who find it difficult TO
make living, and therefore go into the
army TO be taken care of. The majority of
the volunteers are of the same class of men
as those of the First Battalion of the
Second Georgia.
1t is noteworthy that the volunteers, as
rule, are anxious to get out of the SER
vice. Even those at Manila and Honolulu
are petitionihg the war department 10 be
discharged. They say that they enlisted
for the war, and as the war Is practically
ended they think their contract with the
government is fulfilled.
Those of the volunteers who are at Ma
Mia seem to feel that they are not being
dealt with fairly. They regard themselves
as being used to establish and enforce a
policy Of Imperialism. There was no
thought of any such policy when they en-
listed. They were willing to fight for the
freedom of the Cubans, but they are not
willing to remain in the service to assist
in Transforming the republic into an en-
9ire
Some days ago it was said in the Wash
ington dispatches that if the Philippines
became ours, the army would have to be
greatly enlarged, because volunteers could
not be obtained 10 do garrison duty in
those far off islands. 1t is probable that ii
will be difficult to get men TO enlist in
the regular army for garrison duty in
either Cuba or the Philippines without Of
fering them greater inducements than are
now offered 10 recruits for the regular
service.
The fact is, that while the majority OF
the people seem to favor the policy of ex-
pansion there is no noticeable desire to
fight for that policy. 1t is not improbable
therefore that the President may have
some very serious difficulties to overcome
before that policy, which appears to have
been adopted by the Republican party. be-

ment is undergoing change in regard to

THE wAYcnoss FA1R.

the fair at Waycross. which came to a
close yesterday may be taken as indicat-
ing anything On Friday. which was the
gala day of the fair, there were, it is es-

grounds. About 500 of them We're from
Savannah and other points between this

undoubtedly have good effect in encOurag-
ing the development of agriculture and
other industries In South Georgia. The
association under the auspices of which
the fair was held is a permanent organ

merchants and manufacturers generally

An exchange asserts that there has been
lower death rate in the army than in
many of the larger cities Of the country in
times Of peace. Two hundred and fifty
thousand soldiers enlisted at the call of
the President. Two hundred and forty

claimed, are now alive. Not more than
1900 soldiers have died from all causes.
