In all Southland there is perhaps. nc
more interesting house than is to be
seen In the quaint, aristocratic, flowery
little town of Washington, in Wilkes
County, Georgia, writes Mrs. Thaddeus
Horton, of sRomances of Some South
ern Homes" in the September
Ladies Home Journal. 1t is known
far and wide as Heard House, taking
Its name from Stephen Heard, the first
settler of Washington, later governor
OF Georgia, who reached there after q
long journey from Virginia on New
Years Day, 1774. He camped his fam
lily on the spot where Heard House
now stands, where afterward he built
q fort Of defense against the Indians.
The first dwelling erected on the ground
however, was large, wooden structure
known IS the Tavern of Captain John
Williamson, whose girls were famous
Georgia beauties, courted by half the
young squires in the state. In 1865,
Just prior to the capture of Jefferson
Davis, what is known as the last cabi-
net meeting of the Cenfederacy oc.
CURED in the Heard House. The room
In which the discouraged Cabi.
net ministers sat is at the rear of the
second story, and has never since been
used. For many months what little
money the confederacy had was keptin
the Old bank vault on the lower floor.
The vault is there today and is doing
duty as q milk and butter closet. Mrs.
Mulligan who at present occupies the
house, is descendant of the original
Heard family.

Used to Kill Birds

Used to Kill Birds.
1 used to Kill bi rds In my b0yhood,
Bluebirds and robins and wrens,
1 hunted them up In the mountains,
hunted them down IN the glens.
I Ineyer thought twas sinful
did 1t only for fun
And had rare sport In the forest
With tho poor little birds and my gun.
But one beautiful day In tho sprlng-tIme
spied brown bird In a tree.
Merrily swinging and chirping,
AS happy as bird could be,
And raising my gun in n twnkling,
fred. and my aim was too true,
For moment the little thing ilutterod
Then off to the bushes 1t flew,
followed 1t quickly and softly,
And there to my sorrow found,
Right close to Its nest full of young ones,
The little bird dead on the ground,
Poor brides! For food they were calling;
But now they could never be fed,
For the kind motherbird who had loved them
Was lying there bleeding and dead.
picked up the bird in my anguish,
stroked the wee motherly thing
That could never moro feed its dear young ones
Nor dart through the air on swift wing.
And made firm vow in that moment,
When my heart with such sorrow was stirred,
That never again In my lifetime
Would shoot poor innocent bird!

Gold Lined GeNae.

According to the United States con-
sui at Chung-King, China, in the de-
partment called Yung-pei, Chih-n Ting,
gold is found In abundance by washing
In the Wiley near the city. The in
habitants Of the neighborhood keep
large focks of geese to work the gold
fields for them. When the geese are
found to be very heavy, they are killed
and their maws emptied of the gold
contained therein. A flock Of geese is
sometimes worth good deal Of mon
ey. but geese dressed rendy for eating
are very cheap indeed-from 10 TO 90
cents each, .-..--..----

SAVING AN OLD PAINTING.


Ingenious Method by Which IL Was
Transferrcd to Now Canvas.
did you ever hear of transferring
an old oil painting TO new canvas7l'
said q we'll known art connoisseur Of
this city. zone would DECLARE ut first
blush that the thing was absolutely I'M
possible. but saw 1t done with pio-
ture over eight feet square, and the
operation was perfect success. The
painting to which. refer had been q
fine example Of the early Italian
school. but 1t had lain forgotten in q
garret for many yeaTs and had become
SO incrusted with dirt and CRIME that
1t was impossible to distinguish any of
the details. Ordinarily 1t could have
been cleaned without trouble, utsthe
damp and mold Of two centuries had
rotted the canvas until 1t was ready to
fall apart at n touch, and scrubbing
was, Of course, out of the question.
'"That wps the condition of things
when 1t was taken In hand by an ex-
pert restorer from Belgium who hap
pened to be In the city. The first thing
he did was to glue huge sheet Of
thick manila paper firmly to the face
Of the picture. Then he turned it over
carefully and picked off every particle
of the old decaying canvas. revealing
the rear surface of the paint itself. 1t
was big job and required no end Of
patience, but the last thread was final
ly removed, and nothing was left but
the fragile shell of pigment. That he
covered with the strongest fish glue,
and new sheet of canvas was spread
over 1t and pressed down.
I'm few hours 1t was perfectly dry,
and the painting was us firmly attach
ed to its new foundation as il 1t had
been there from the start. Nothing
then remained but to take off the ma
nila paper, which was readily done
with hot wa1ar. After that the surface
was thoroughly cleaned, and the pic
ture is now almost as bright and clear
rs 1t was when 1t left the painters
easel. The owner could hardly believe
his eyes. It seemed to him that a veri:
table miracle had been accomplished.

The Dubuque Telegraph takes the posi-
tion that Speaker Henderson cannot con-
sistently condemn the new education al
qualification law of North Carolina, and
atthe same time profit by the gerryman-
ders and anti fusion laws of his own
State. 1t is probably true that an ed.
ucational test is imposed in North Caro-.
lima to disfranchise negro voters, and
1t is equally true that the disfranchise-
ment of democrats is the sole purpose
for which monkey wrench districts"
are made here in Iowa and anti.fusion
statutes enacted.
The Telegraph states the case this
way, and states it we'll:
In nprinciple there is no difference be.
tween the North Carolina and the Iowa
plans. The aim and eff, G. are the same,
and the only difference Is the immater.
ial one OF method. 1t does not con-
cern the victim much whether he has
been robbed by q sneak thief, high
wayman; burglar or confidence
sharp. What chiefly concerns him is
his loss. OF course the democratic elec-
tor in the Third district has not been
formally disfranchised. But since the
gerrymander makes it impossible that
his vote can avail; since whether he
votes or not the construction of the dis.
trict makes republican success newt
able save in the event of political
revolution; he is virtually disfranchised.
Indeed, realizing the hopelessness of
electing a candidate representing the
principles and policies which they favor.
large numbers of democrats refrain from
voting for congressman. "What's the
use 2" they ask. To all intents and pur-
poses, these citizens are disfranchised
by the district apportionment law Of
Iowa as effectively as are the negroes
by the educational qualification laws of
the south. Not only has republican
legislature shamelessl5 gerrymandered

cess, but it has also to avert the defeat
of its party in the state enacted law
designed to prevent, and which in large
measure does prevent, fusion of the
elements opposed to republican princi-
pies, purposes and tendencies. The
anti.fusion act, which prohibits the sp.
! pearance of the name of candidate
\ In more than one place on the official
ballot as q candidate for the same Office,
is one of the most tlsgrant and fla
! gitious cases Of partisan legislation on
record. 1t was inspired by the same
motive, and Fundamentally 1t is on par
with the 1isfranchiaing acts Of the Caro-.
}ltnas and Aississippi.

Bryan's Word Picture of National
Destiny.
u can conceive of national destiny
surprising the glories of the present
and the past, destiny which meets
the responsibilities of today and meas
ures up to the possibilities of the flu
ture. Behold q republic, resting
securely upon the foundation stones
quarried by revolutionary patriots from
the mountain of eternal truth, a repub.
lie applying in practice and proclsimine
to the world the self evident proposit IN
that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed with inalienable
rights, that governments are Instituted
among men to secure these rights
and that governments derive their
just powers from the consent of gov.
erned.
"Behold q republic in which civil and
religious liberty stimulate all to earnest
endeavor and in which the law restrains
every hand uplifted for a neighbor's in
jury, republic in which every citizen
is sovereign, but in which no one
cares to wear crown. Behold re-
public standing erect while empires all
around are bowed beneath the weight
of their own ornaments, republic
whose flag is loved while other flags are
only feared. Behold republic in
creasing in population, in wealth, in
strength and in influence, solving the
problems of civilization and fastening
the universal brotherhood, a republic
which shakes thrones and dissolves
aristocracies by its silent example and
gives light and inspiration to those who
sit in darkness.
"Behold republic gradually but
surely becoming the supreme moral
factor in the worlds progress and the
accepted arbiter of worlds disputes, q
republic whose history, like the path of

FLOODS AT FOO CHOW.
Over Two Thousand Chinese Drowned
by the Overflow OF the MINI River.

CHICAGO. Aug, l6.-Mrs. n. c.
Marsh has Just received letter from
her son. the Rev. Benjamin c. Marsh.
who for two years has been a mission
ary in the Anglo Chinese school at Foo
Chow, China. The letter was written
at Kuling. few miles from Foo Chow,
and was dated July 9. He says:
1T is estimated that over 1000 per-
sons were drowned by The overflow of
the Minn river last week. The bridge
Of the Thousand Ages. as It Is called,
was broken in two places. Those who
attempted to cross were never seen
again. One of the wretched conditions
was that they did not like to leave
their floating homes because robbers
would come and carry or everything OF
value. Some one would always so with
the house when 1t fell or foated away.
After the flood the oiiseials raised about
$1,000 to help the sufferers.
Although at present We so where
ever and whenever We please, still We
do not know when the Boxer trouble
may break out here. The viceroy OF
this place has sent guards to the for
