lowing instance of an answer to prayer:
"One day l was walking on the street

over the animal, and as the wagon was
swaying from side to side the driver
seemed in great danger of being thrown

intention of flashing the beast, when

once gave up his cruel design. jumped
from his seat and began patting che

The Man win the Hoe.

Grumpy used to think that the finest
thing in the world was to dress like a
tramp, neglect to shave, and dig around

He was out there one day last summer
on a vacation. and he invited me to pay

rived when I was asked to put on pair
of overalls and help him hoe a field Of
cabbage that was near the house l de-
clned with thanks, but told him not 10
let me interfere with his labors. So he
seized a hoe and started in, while I Sc
lected a shady spot where l could smoke
and watch him swing his hoe. He had
only been at work few minutes when a
couple of women drove along the
country road and stopped where he was
al work.

During the past six or seven months The
newspapers of New York have been to a
greater or less extent filled with Ram
apo, meaning thereby the Ramapo Water
Company. and having reference to the
strenuous efforts that have been and are
being made to force the city Of New YorI,
to sign contract with that company
which would give it a prodigious and fab

at issue is whether the city shall own the

A Sin guIar Bill.

That bill which a clergyman introduced
into our State Senate as a check to the
growing industry which provides students
with ready-rnade oratious and essays and
compositions is attracting some unpleas-
ant attention in the East, where they don't
understand US, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. The little bill is all right as far
as it goes, but it isn't elastic enough. The
clergyman meant well. He thought he
was doing service for literary aspirants.
But, strange TO say, he blindly overlooked
the clergy. No doubt some of them need
protection from these bureau cormoranIs
and from these syndicated sharks. Think
of the temptation il is for an enervated
parson to step into one of these hand-me
down. sermon shops and say:
What have you in about twenty-minute
lengths?"
"Ornate?"
"No, just simple and soothing"

sANANNAHIN SIMMER.

There is an idea abroad, no doubt IN
Willingly contributed to in greater or less
degree by some of our own people, that
as soon as summer comes Savannahians
flee to the mountains or to the seashore
resorts for the benefit of their health. This
was 70 some extent true many years ago,
but 1t is not the case to-day. Twenty-Five
or thirty years ago the drainage in and
about the city was very defective, and
the water supply was far from the best
In those days. too. the citys Grade de-
pended almost entirely upon cotton. max
Ing a dun season in the summer AZ the
time when ,he i'll effects Of poor drainage
and bad water We're most in evidence; and
then it was that Savannahians went away
from home during summer for the bene-
fit OF their health.
But the conditions are now radically
changed. The city's sanitary condition is
excellent II may he doubted that there Is
a city in the country, If in the world, that
is in better sanitary condition and is more
carefully looked after in this respect. And
the ample water supply is as pure and
healthful as if from mountain spring
Savannah. therefore, is one of The health
lest of cities. There is no "sickly sea-
son" here, fact which can be shown by
the mortality reports, and which will be
affirmed by the testimony of thousands
of residents who remain in the city from
years end to years end, not from neces-
sity. but from choice
There are, of course, a number of resi-
dents of Savannah who 90 away for a va
cation during the summer months, and
many Of them have fallen into the habit
Of saying it is for their health" But
the fact is they go away from home for
the same reason that residents of New
York. Boston, Saratoga, Hot Springs and
other places go away-for rest recreation
or pleasure; and sudh vacation trips are
good things There is not word to be
said against them, for those who have the
time and the means to take them. BuS It
is wrong to give health" as the reason
in place of pleasure and recreation when
such is the case.
The simple fact is that there is no more
healthful and delightful spot anywhere in
summer than Savannah. Occasionally a
warm wave passes over the section but it
lasts only day or two, just as the cold
waves do in winter; and the warm wave
is no more harmful to health than is the
cold wave. The city is shaded by lux
urious forest growth, and is famed by
the refreshing breezes from the ocean.
The nights are invariably pleasant, not
withstanding a warm wave may have sent
the mercury high during the day. There
is, therefore, no reason why anyone should
go away for reasons of health, unless the
health depends upon rest and change of
scene.
