When Lieutenant Hobson and his

OF Santiago Harbor the deed was almost
everywhere hailed as the bravest Of the

The biography Of Elizabeth, recently

constant companion, the author, used to
Disguise themselves and visit the slums

were riding through the outskirts Of

WATCHMAKERS' SIGNS.

A highly interesting story is told to
account for the fact that almost every
wooden clock in America has its hands
painted to Indicate the hour of cigh-
teen minutes past eight. 1t is related
that most such watchmakcrs' signs
were originally made by one man,
who was at first in the habit of paint
ing the hands to indicate any old or
young hour that struck his fancy
when he came to that part of the job.
But when President Lincoln was as
sassinated he conceived the idea of
commemorating the event by record.
ing the hour and minute thereof upon
all his wooden timepieces. custom
ever since perpetrated. There is
something striking and dramatic
about this notion of time standing still
forever after an event OF such tragic
significance. There is no doubt about
the fact that nearly all the wooden
clocks do Indicate the hour of eighteen
minutes past eight-you can see that
for yourself But if the clockmakcr
thought he was thereby recording the
hour of the assassination his intelli-
gence was as wooden as his wares. for
President Lincoln was shot not at
eighteen minutes past eight, but at
about fifteen minutes past tcn-Ncc

There are, Of course, many things
worn and old which one must have,
but they are like certain necessary
acts. My mother used to say to us,
"Therc are many thing which it is
quite proper to do, bit most improper
to be seen doing"
! There is, however. choice in old
things; one need not save everything;
shabby pocket-books and gloves may
still do good service in bridget's S hands.
Pass things on; keep we'll cleared up
as you go, for day may come when
some one else will straighten those bu-
reau drawers, and too often the unsym-
pathetic hold up to view what should
be laid aside with reverence
There are times when an empty bu-
reau clearly reveals character IT an
invited guest finds no place where she
may put the little articles which it is
so annoying to keep in trunk, it may
be 4 means of blessing to her, for her
thoughts will turn to "mansions pre-
pared" But if she finds a whole bu-
reau free to her, or even two or three
drawers, her heart is warmed and she
knows that her welcome is sincere. In
the first instance the bureau said, II
hope you won't stay long; we haven't
any room.' But in the second, bu-
reau and closet said "Make yourself

EVIL IS PURELY RELATIVE.

1t is only after long ages of social
discipline, ,fraught with cruel Affections
and grinding misery, that the moral
law becomes dominant and religious
aspiration intense and abiding in the
soul. When such stage is reached,
we have at length in man creature
different in kind from his predecessors,
and fit for an everlasting life of pro-
gress, for q closer and closer commu-
Mon with God in beatitude that shall
endure forever
AS we survey the course of this won-
derful evolution, it begins to become
manifest that moral evil is simply the
characteristic of the lower state of liv-
ing rs looked at from the higher state.
Its existence is purely relative, yet
it is profoundly real, and in process
of perpetual spiritual evolution its
presence in some hideous form through
out long series Of upward stages is
indispensable. Its absence would mean
stagnation, quiescence, unprogressive-
ness. For the moment we exercise
conscious choice between one course of
action and another, we recognize the
difference between better and worse, we
forshadow the whole grand contrast
between good and bad. In the process
of spiritual evolution, therefore, evil
must needs be present. But the na-
turc of evolution also requires that it
should be eyanesccnt. In the higher
stages that which is worse than the
best need no longer be positively bad.
After the nature Of that which the up.
ward-striving soul ahhors has been for
ever impressed upon it, amid the long
vicissitudes of its pilgrimage through
the dark realms of sin and cxpiation,
it is at length equipped for its final So
journ
In the blest Kingdoms meek of JOY and love
From the general analogies furnish
ed in the process of evolution we are
entitled to hope that, as it approaches
its goal and man comes nearer to God,
the fact of evil will lapse into a mere
memory, in which the shadowed past
may serve as background for the re-
allied glory of the present

REAL ESTATE AS AN INVESTMENT.
It Is very safe to say that no form Of in
vestment offers the safety and profit you
find In real estate Especially Is this so OF
real estate In and around a growing city
like savannah. Fifteen years ago yoa
could have bought lots by the score on
New Houston, Duffy and Henry streets at
$500 apiece. You would be fortunate now
TO obtain a good lot in this locality for 81
900 You could have bought the land
around MIR. Krouskoff's and Mr.. owens
houses on Ahercorn and Seventh streets
for 5000 per acre. A lot there now cath of
an acre. would cost you from 30 10
81 500 each Twelve years ago there wasn'h
a decent looking house across the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western Railway, and
l don't suppose anybody would have given
$50 an acre for what is now Collinsville
and the Meadows Try to buy a lot thers
now, and see what IL win cost you. Mem
who make money In real estate are those
who have the sense to look ahead before
development comes and have Che grit to
put In their money. Those out of whom the
money Is made are the men who wait until
place is developed and pay about ten
times the original cost. Which of these
classes do you expect to be In? John L.
