VIII Return.

Owing to the brilliant success OF
A. K. Hawkes., the famous Atlanta
Opticians Specialist during his last
visit, he has been induced to visit
vour town again, and will remain at
the store of his agent, Smith Drug
Co., for 2 days, beginning Nov. 22.
All persons whose eyes need atten-
tion, viii now take advantage of
this opportunity, Mr. Hawkes. has
all the modern appliances for the
scientific adjustment of spectacles
and eye glasses to the eye. There is
no Optician in the United States
who enjoys the confidence of the
people more than Mr.. Hawkes.. His
name is a familiar word throughout
a section of the country inhabited
by over twenty-five millions of peo-
pie.
Mr.. Hawkes. has probably fitted
glasses to the eyes of more people OF
national and international fame
than any other Optician living His
wonderful success is due to the
superior grade Of his glasses, and tC
the confidence the people have in
his ability as practical Opitican.
This firm was established in 1870
nearly thirty years ago.
Call early as he will remain but
days, as he has other engagements
for later dates.

The following from the Arkansas
Democrat is timely and true; ut is
said there is no longer any money
in the practice of criminal law in
this state. We doubt not that the
statement is true. 1t speaks well
for the state. The less criminal
practice we have, the better for
the community. Ourlaws are more
effective and our citizenship is inn
proved. The proper administration
of the law has much to do with di-
minishing crime. We may congrat-
ulate the courts on making the
criminal practice less remunera-
tive

II was gentleness, not weakness. It
was that calm sweetness of disposition
and manner which illustrates the kind
ly self-control of a strong, masterful
spirit; not the shrinking, timid uncer-
tainty Of temper and behavior which
resembles gentleness because it lacks
something of the power of self-asser-
ton. 1t was entirely consistent with
sturdiness and conviction, positive
ness Of speech and boldness OF action.
1t was exhibited not only toward our
Lords friends, but also toward his OPP
ponents. 1t was especially noticeable
in his treatment of all who came to him
In fear or doubt or sorrow.
Let those who sometimes suppose
g%entleness to be a tame, inslpid virtue,
make careful study of it as seen in the
character of Jesus. They will learn TO
admire it. They will be impelled to
cultivate 1t. They will perceive 1t to
be a fruitful source Of true and mighty
power. When we understand hat one
Is gentle, as Jesus was, because he can
afford to be; because, apart from the
diOI al dopCIl VI IL llloNNSh AV L
that he is strong enough in the high
est sense to dispense with buster, we
feel that he has attained to a lofty and
honorable level of character and life.
Then when the time comes for right
eous Indignation of soul-as come 1t
does now and then-and for vigorous,
incisive speech in support Of the right
- A. 49,.
the very contrast between ones Gus
tomary gentleness and his temporary
~sternness adds immensely to the effect
Of the latter. If such a gentle spirit
can be wrought up to such a pitch, we
say, how grave the cause must be! We
never have known men or women o
intense in their opinions, or more I'M
faltering and potential in their con-
duct and influence, than some of those
who most closely have resembled
Christ in g%entleness of disposition and
amer.
Gentleness Is a characteristic excel
lence of the truly great. 1t also is n
of the greatest of excellences. Perhaps
no other is so commonly associated
with Jesus in our thought. Nor is the
endeavor to attain to any other more
difficult or profitable. Happy Is the
home, the office, the factory, the school
where ge%ntleness like that Of Jesus
reigns.-Young Man.

A Splendid British Soldier.

Mr.. G. w. Stevens, in his book on
the Soudan expedition, depicts Major
General Archibald Hunter as the
sword arm of the Egyptian army, just
as the Sirdar is its brain. Mr.. Stee-
vens writes of Maj.-Gen. Hunter:
First, and above everything, he is a
fighter. For fourteen years he has
been in the front of all the fighting on
the Southern border. He was governor
of the frontier at Halfa, governor of
the frontier at Dongola, governor of
the frontier at Berber-always on the
frontier. When there was fighting he
always led the way to it with his
blacks, whom he loved like children,
and who love him like a father.
Fourteen years of bugle and bullet,
by night and day, in summer and win
ter, fighting Dervishes veal in and
year out, till fighting Dervishss has
come to be a holy mission pursued
with a burning zeal akin to fanaticism.
Hunter Pasha is the crusader of the
nineteenth century. In all he is and
does he is the true knight-errant-a
paladin drifted into the wrong CEN
fury. He is one of those happy men
whom nature has made all in one piece
consistent, simple, %unvarying; every
thing he does is just like him. He is
short and thick set; but that, instead
If making him unromantic, only
draws your eyes to his long sword.
"Reconnoitering almost alone up to
the muzzles of the enemy's rifles, charg-
ing bareheaded and cheering on his
blacks, going without his rest to watch
over the comfort of the wounded, he
is always the same-always the same
impossible hero of a book of chivalry.
He is renowned as a brave man even
among British officers. You know
what that means"

family, but the grosbeak never modest
ed him. Once, when a saucy
little thistle bird Oawrence's
goldhnch). alighted close by the
nest and peered in, the head
of the house flew down with a warning
"tsip," but made no further demon
stration.
One morning, however, a male oriole
came down into the greasewood and
seemed disposed to remain. 1t was one
OF the occasions when the mother bird
was on the nest. She half arose and
uttered a loud whistle, their common
call, and her mate was on the scene in
a hurry, all ready to do battle. The
males seemed pretty fairly matched,
but the oriole is not a malicious bird,
and the intruder withdrew. Once this
grosbeak, with half a dozen orioles and
finches, made common cause against a
California jay that had apparently at
tempted to raid the nest of one of the
little birds. The jay is a thief and a
coward always, and this marauder re-
ceived bitter punishment at the bills
of the feathered vigilance committee
that hastily formed.

Gen. Sherman's GaIIantry.

General, l never understood how 1t
was you anne to gain the reputation
of the Great American Beau won't
you enlighten us?"
The question tickled him, says the
C~hautauquan. The scanned face dis
solved into wrinkles, and, after laugh
ing in his silent way for a minute or
two, he said:
well, now, you will be surprised
when l tell you that that whole thing
was the work of Gen. Grant, but it's a
fact. Just after the war closed Grant
asked me to TAKE a ride with him in
Washington behind a horse he had
just bought and of which he was very
fond. AS we spun down the avenue |
said: See here, Grant, now that the
piping times of peace have come, we
must choose a fad
What are you driving at, Sher-
MANI he asked.
81 mean to say that if we don't fix
Ipon something, the public will do it
FOR us, and it may not be pleasant
"'Well, it is pretty generally known
that I am fond of horses; l suppose
that will answer for me. What have
YOU in mind?'
Il told him I had fixed upon nothing
as yet, but would try to do so. Mean
while I asked for his help. He said
he would be glad to serve me.
Now, what do you suppose Grant
did," asked Sherman, with pretended
indignation. why, he made straight
for tht newspaper correspondents and
told them that l had formed the reso-
luton to devote the rest of my life to
earning the name of a gallant for all
the young ladies in the country. At
the same time he intimated to the
newspaper men that he would take it
as a personal favor if they would do
what they could to spread the news; it
would be doubtless of assistance to me
and he was sure l would appreciate the
kindness.
well those correspondence didn't
need any urging. The whole thing
was heralded from one end of the
country to the other, my first knowl-
edge coming from the papers them
selves. I saw through the whole thing,
though. Grant tried to play innocent.
All, he was a sly wag, but" added
Sherman, 81 forgave him, and l find
the work of trying to live up to the
reputation he made for me the most
delightful pursuit of my life"

President Mckinley.

During the late Spanish-American
war a certain old colonel who had sery-
ed all through the civil war and who
had lost one Of his eyes at the battle Of
Gettysburg, was very indignant be-
cause he was put aside as physically
incapacitated when he applied for ad-
mission to one of the New York volun-
teer regiments.
Filled with wrath he journeyed to
Washington, bent on having a personal
interview with the president. He sue
ceeded in gaining an audience, and the
president, after listening to his plea,
said kindly:
But, my good Colonel S, you
have only n eye"
Just SO, sir" was the prompt re-
joinder, "but can't you see the great
advantage of my having only one eye?
When l aim my gun, l will not have
to close the other!"

Mr.. G. M. Courtenay writes a letter
which will interest survivors of our
soldiers and sailors who were taken
prisoners in the Crimean war and
marched to Kharkoff, who will regret
to learn that the bright, kindly little
lnglishwoman, Nine. B%raillard, nee
Ch~illingworth, by whom they were met
on arrival and accosted in their native
tongue, has just died at Schloss Sayn,
near Coblentz, at the age Of 50. Her
husband, a Swiss, was at the time Of
the war professor at the college of
Kharkoff, and being acquainted with
the governor of the Jail she was allow
ed to go down there twice a week to
meet the prisoners On arrival and to
visit them afterward. Besides talking
to them and being the means of COM
municating to their friends in England
the news of their safety, she took them
all the comforts she could-clothes tea,
tobacco, books, writing materials, etc.
collecting money for the purpose
from her sisters and wealthy friends at
st. Petersburg. The officers on pa
rope dined daily at her house. Her
unselfish kindness met with no public
recognition, but in old age 1t was no
small pleasure to her to reflect that
though so much of her life had been
spent abroad still that when the oppor-
tunity was given her she had shown
herself a true-hearted Englishwoman.

Is there any way by which drunk
ards can be prevented from being
served with liquor? We believe there
is one which is not only practicable but
easy. Someone has proposed that only
those who have a certificate of sobriety
shall be served. This we see many OBJ
jections to, and it would involve great
difficulties. Instead of that we suggest
that any drunkard who is brought I'M
der the operation Of the law shall be
compelled to wear the blue ribbon in
the buttonhole of his coat or other
conspicuous places at all times as a
recognized sign of total abstinence.
Concealing the blue ribbon In order to
get drink should be treated as a con-
tempt Of court, while giving, supply
Ing, or selling liquor to anyone wear
ing the blue ribbon should render any
one SO doing liable to a severe penalty.
There are thousands OF total abstainers
who would gladly wear the blue ribbon

On Gen, Wheeler.

You can't most always swear to the

delphia drummer to the Washington
Star man, land l am not swearing to
the one / heard the other day On Gen.
Joe Wheeler in Alabama, but it is Just
as good as if l did swear to it, so what's
the difference? 1t seems that once the
general, who you all know is only a
boys size and not a big boy at that,
had, in the curse of his travels, OF
one of his ~electioneering tours, brought
up at a remote schoolhouse, where, of
course, he was called upon to make a
few remarks to the scholars.
"This he did in his best style, and
when he had finished he stood by the
teacher when that worthy said a few
things, among them that time-worn
suggestion to the effect that when the
boys of the school grew up they, too,
might be congressman, like Gen.
Wheeler; such are the wonderful pos
sibilities of this great and glorious
country of ours.
At this point a long, go~od-natured,
gang-ling gawk of a boy, about IA
years old and about IA feet tall, stuck
up his hand, grinning sheepishly the
meanwhile.
"'Me, too?' he inquired.
"'Certainly, Henry replied the
teacher, assuringly, Just as much you
as any other boy. I reckon I'll have
