ton as to the disposition of the artillery

that all of its guns had been disposed of.
The law under which these guns can be
distributed provides that they may go only

expense In connection with the transpOrta
tion of the guns from where they are now

most cases, either from the Watervliet ar

Mr.. Mitchell. assistant controller Of the
treasury, rendered a decision today on the
question of extra pay allowed by Congress
to volunteer soldiers who enlisted for the

like. Those who brought influence to bear
and were discharged by favor and for their

The doctors do not use morphine a
tenth part as much as they used to-.
said a druggist. Saturday. "A Well
known physician told me. today. that
he had practiced for 50 years and had
never used a grain of morphine. The
morphine habit is falling away. Those
who used it once use it now if they are
living. but the supply of new friends
is falling off. The folks got to using it
by the physicians prescribing it as
they used to years ago. but now there
are so many good substitutes for it
that few if any doctors use it, and the
patients do not use it after they re-
cover Sulfonal and ammonia are good
substitutes for morphine. and a person
may take sulfonal for six months. and
not acquire d habit. But all the vic
toms of morphine are not dead They
live forever. They are not killed by
their habit. and one sometimes thinks
that they live longer than any one else.
Ana there is the tea smoking. They
say that the results of tea smoking are
more deadly than anything else in the
way OF smoking. The first cigarette Of
tea is bad, but when you have smoked
the second one you are d fiend I dun
no about that. and l guess | don't be-

A local physician started out the
other day to do a little collecting after
making call, upon patient in a
neighboring town. At the first place
they invited him to stop to dinner.
which he did, thus they gave him 4
dinner for himself and horse. and as a
reminder that they meant to do well,
with perhaps the idea of giving him
something to rub upon his wounded
feelings at not getting all. they gave
him two pounds of butter. The second
place he visited afforded him a little
more help in the way of keeping his
house. as the man gave him two and
one half dozen of eggs. At the next
call he was given % pounds of butter
and six squashes on account. At one
place he was given an old Indian ar
row head in exchange for the credit Of
Il dollar. The last call was the one
that brought the greatest riches. for

dened the family pocketbook of ten

When the wood, has been cut from
the vast tract of land, there will be left
a farm, the value of which will not be
very great with the timber all removed,
as real estate has so greatly decreased
in this section of late. Then why will
1t not make good place, remarks Mr..
Fuller, to try an experiment? He does
not say he will try the experiment but
he says it would be novel scheme IL
some one should try it.
He remarks that there will be nearly
200 acres of good land with brooks and
with great amount of small growth
of wood. and ii would make first
class deer park. TO fence the place
with strong high netting would be the
greatest expense, and then after get
ting permission to operate a deer park,
it could be stocked with several deer.
For a few years it would be well to
keep the deer increasing. without kill
ing any. but this would not take many
years. Then during the open season
on game, why not charge a fee for all
who wish to do little deer hunting
where the game is sure. The Boston
sportsman could come down here and
in day. for less money than he now
pays. get his prize to carry home. Re-
member Mr.. Fuller has no serious in
ten.ion of doing anything OF the sort.
yet he remarks why could it not be
done?

Then some of the sights of the patients

An Augusta business man recently
made an investment which he considers
as a good one. though he remarks upon
the decline in the prices of the timber
lands and in the farm lands of the city.
in the past ten years. He had a long
ing for certain tract of timberland of
small area. about 10 years ago. for
which the owner asked $500. and for
which the said business man offered
S1100. All these years the owner has
been paying taxes upon the tract with
out realizing one cent from it and at
the same time he has been losing til,
interest upon his money. all of which It
will be seen amounts to quite little
sum of money. Very recently the BUSH
ness man bought the land for 5000.
