Compliments For One Only.

There is one New York club woman
who has sense of humor. In fact, to
be on the safe side, there are several
who have 'claim" in that direction.
But not all of them are able to sense
the joke when it happens to be on them.
This woman, however, has this ability
and proves it by this story about her.
self:
Sat one time,'' she says, "we had
colored butler who stayed with us for
years, and who admired my husband
immensely. He thought that DR..
H was marvel of manly beauty,
as we'll as the embodiment of all the
virtues, domestic, professionals and
otherwise. OF course, 1 quite agreed
with the butler on this point, but the
fact is, sometimes pined 10 have him
pass his enthusiastic compliments
around to the family, and not bestow
them all on the doctor. So one morn
ing, when DIR. H--had just left the
breakfast table and was even to be seen,
an imposing picture, as he stood on the
front steps drawing on his gloves, I re-
marked to James:
"sDr. HIS a handsome man isn't
hep
/" Yes, ma'amI Deed an he is,
ma'aml' with gratifying enthusiasm.
"Then, hoping to get a rise from
James, added with an absent air as
if I scarcely knew what I said but just
uttering my inmost thoughts.
How in the world do you suppose
that such a handsome man as DR..
H--ever happened to marry such a
homely woman as 1 am!'
"Well, James just stopped short and
rolled his eyes and shook his head as if
he gave it up. Then he calculated:
"'Gawd knows, ma'am!' "

"Godly sorrow worketh repentance
to salvation not to be repented of. but
the sorrow of the world worketh death. -
There are great many ways Of be-
ing sorry and a great variety of sor-
rows. Some are extremely dangerous to
health and even life, while others are
very helpful. Many if not most sor-
rows are the result of some wrong done
or suffered. One awakens to the fact
that the evil has been committed. If
done by himself, all the circumstances,
the carelessness or provocation which
led up to it may come clearly to mind.
The shame, the pain caused to others,
the responsibility which rests upon
himself, the unworthiness and mean
ness of the spirit which led to or al
lowed the wrong to be done, the sense
OF disapproval by others, all fash in
upon the soul and make a tumult of
thought and conflict of feeling. Resent
ment at the injustice done him and
condemnation of himself for the injury
inflicted on another struggle for the
mastery, defiance of the opinions of
others and hatred of the wronged one
may gain the ascendency, or softening
| of feeling, hearty sorrow that others
must suffer becauseof his fault, whole
souled heartache and wish to repair the
wrong, may possess one.
When one sees his wrongdoing and
heartily wishes 1t had not been done,
determines to repair the evil as far as
possible and not to be guilty of like con-
duct again, that is real repentance. It
is followed by conduct that strives to
make amends for all injury and suffer-
ing caused. Such repentance is more
than feeling of sorrow. 1t is all that
and much more It assumes the duty
Of repairing the injury done. 1t goes
beyond this and lays upon itself the OBJ
legation to feel good and do good to the
one who has suffered. Beyond all this,
it sees that the wrong done has been
in violation of Gods law and against
His nature. Right relations to God
must be restored by complete change
of attitude. Every wrong done fellow
man is sin against God. Repentance,
if genuine, effects change in the mans
thought, feeling and determination to-
ward his fellows and His God and re-
suits in a complete change of action.
True repentance brings the sense of
satisfaction and peace. 1t makes man
happy and hopeful and contented.
The reverse of this is irritation, of
soul, enmity against others, especially
the ones wronged, dislike of the laws
Of right, shame and contempt of self,
hatred of the good and determination
to do the. evil This leads to strife, de-
spair and may end in suicide or muir
der or any other crime

THE TRAITORS.

There are some deeds so unnatural,
SO vile and despicable that no words
seem adequate with which to characl
terizs them.
OF this kind was the deed of the
three chattels, Clark, King and Far,
low. They cannot be digniied with
the name of "men," for, "When faith
is lost and honor gone, the man is
dead.n
These three chattels, calling them
selves Democrats, elected as such, and
elected on the clear cut issue of anti,
Addicksism, forsook their party and its
principles and scampered like rats to
their ayowed enemies.
Esan sold his birthtright, but he sold
it to his brother. These vermin bel
trayed the trust of thousands to their
bitter enemy.
There is no shadow Of excuse for
their abominabie treachery; no circum'
stance for extenuation. They stand
forth to-day in all the bald and ugly
nakedness of foul and hideous deed,
disgraced, dishonored and disowned.
Who will stand up to excuse or
condone such crime? Who will seek
to gloss it overP Honor has been be,
trayed. faith outraged, decency disgrac.
ed. Only the coward or The dast ard In
heart will wink at such deed.
1t is not Democracy alone that has
been insulted. Our State has been in
deadly peril. Treason has been within
her doors.
The thief who steals the purse is
flogged at the post; the embezzler is
shut around with prison bars; and

humanity be suffered to go unwhipped

For thousands Of years 10 has been a
common saying that THE prophet is not
without honor except in his own country"
DR.. ]. Newton Hathaway of the great
firm of Dr. Hathaway & Co. has proved
that this very old saying is not true-that
IS, it is not true in his own case.
WORLDWIDE FAME.
For more than twenty years he has been
the leading specialist of the South. ana
while his fame has spread all over the
world, while he is known in every city,
every town and every hamlet throughout
this country, STILL mere in Savannah,
where he has been in daily and constant
practice, where he has treated all manner
Of diseases-where he has cured even the
most difficult cases-cases pronounced
hopeless by other physicians, here 1t is
that he is best known and his great work
most appreciated.
HIS FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
Ask the people of Savannah whom. of all
physicians is regarded with greatest es,
TEEN and with greatest confidenee-every
one will say Immediately, DR.. Hathaway.
HE CURES.
For this there is certainly some reason,
and this reason is a most excellent one
1t is because DR.. Hathaway cures, it Is
because of the number of his cures be-
cause of the invariabilty of his cures.
HE DOES NOT EXPERIMENT.
DR.. Hathaway does not experiment The
experimental stage of his practice passed
over twenty-five years ago, during the
period of his college career and hospital
services. To-day when he treats a case. he
knows what the result will be as definite,
ly as does the architect who makes the
plans for gigantic building.
Preparing his own medicines in his own
laboratory. Dr. Hathaway knows with
mathematical accuracy the result Of his
treatment.
SEES PATIENTS DAILY.
DR.. Hathaway desires to see his patients
himself wherever it is possible, He wishes
them to call at his office whenever they
possibly can. In spite OF the enormous
extent of his practice and the enormous
number of his patients, he still continues
and will continue, to see them all exam
ne them all and prescribe for them all
and his one uniform fee covers all cost of
services and medicines during the entire
period of treatment.
FREE DAILY CONSULTATION.
DR.. Hathaway makes no charge for con-
sultation or advice. He can be consulted
daily and will give all the benefit of his
knowledge and experience, fully, carefully
and without one cent of cost
