Getthere.

Getthere.
Wednesday, May 29th.
At precisely 4:1O a. m. Hamann, the
guide, announced that the sun was
about to make it's appearance so that
for the first time in three days we
would be able to take observations
and ascertain our latitude and longi-
tude. This was an opportunity not
to be overlooked and we quickly aban-
doned our feathery couch of fir boughs
and gathered shiveringly around the
handful of blazing cedar limbs which
answered the purpose of campfire
while the guide unpacked several ko-
daks in order to get photograph of
the sun lest it should escape behind
threatening bank of clouds before we
were able to take our necessary OBJ
servations.
The photographs having been Sc
cured and the compass having been de-
posted on stump in close proximity
to the axe and various other iron and
steel implements, we proceeded to
take our bearings. Here it becomes
my painful duty to record some mex
cusable acts of INSTRUMENTATION on the
part of the crew. Verify the cook and
Crew, the assistant cook insisted that
at this season of the year the sun rose
in the east or nearly so and urged
that we take our bearings on that ba-
sis. In vain Hamann and l tried to
point out to them the folly of their
contention as it was very apparent to
us that the sun rose in the southwest.
Finding them obdurate, or to say the
least, lacking intelligence such as to
totally unfit them to comprehend the
science of navigation in it's simplest
applications, the guide and l left them
to consider their decisions and pro-
ceeded to the location of the headland
upon which we had made our camp.
We found this to be approximately lat
itude 4S degrees north, longitude ia
degrees west. Having thus ascertain
ed with some degree of certainty our
whereabouts our next anxiety was as
to the location of the barge "Getthere'
which we understood had been aban-
doned several seasons previously by
a syndicate known as the Ashley
Lake irrigation company.
So hastily partaking of frugal but
healthful breakfast of oatmeal mush,
bread and coffee, we started out in
single file along the eastern coast of
the lake and after several hours of
travel were rewarded by view of the
barge beached in one of the lakes nu-
merous inlets. At this point we also
found a skiff which we concluded
would answer the purpose of life
boat in case of ship-wreck so We &C.
cordingly tied it behind the barge and
proceeded along the northern coast of
the lake in quest of whales and cod
fish. The motive power at our COM
mand was somewhat limited, being
confined to four large oars or sweeps.
The vessel might at one time have
been equipped with masts and sails
but if so some hurricane had swept
away the last vestige of them.
AS we continued up the lake the
rain began to fall in torrents, the wind
was dead ahead and every stroke of
those massive oars made perceptible
inroads on the vitality of my weary
crew; but despite the efforts of the
elements to retard our progress, bow
led along over the blue surface of the
lake bouyed up with visions of the big
catch of fish awaiting lust around

WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE.
MT. Whtten Thinks Women Should Be
 Allowed the Right,
Brookwood, Ala. June 24, 1901.

Brookwood Ala, June 24, 1901. To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 Senator Morgan's advocacy of the en- franchisement of woman in Alabama is timely and statesmanlike. All honor to him for it. Woman is worthy of all the rights of man. MT. Craig has done right and true thing in his proposed amendment to the constitution of Ala bama comforting upon the women of our State the right to vote. It will not de- preciate woman, but only exalt her, and give her rights of which she has Jlong been deprived. Men of the revolutionary war fought for representation while being taxed. Taxation without represen- tation can never be regarded as right; 4; yet women of vast property interests are deprived of a voice in their taxation rates or representation in any way in leg1sla- tive halls Who are deprived of suffra ge "The silent seven-mnors, aliens paul pers, criminals, lunatics and women!'
 Public sentiment and sagacious states men. press and pulpit ought long since to have taken her out of this class and have given her the ballot as her inalien- able right. Once a hen with a little brood of chicks was busily engaged in the poultry yard scratching for and feed ing them. Her keen eye saw hawk cir cling the heavens for prey, and she dis covered none to soon that he was swoop- ing down upon her for one of her chicks to appease his hunger. She, like the true mother, gave the alarm and met the enemy on the ground-her ground. When that battle royal was over the hawk was minus an eye and many feathers He flew away badly worsted-terribly dis appointed. The hen felt so happy she strengthened up and tried to crow like her rooster husband, who all this time was asleep under the porch of the house, oblivious of the terrible fight his wife had made for his chicks as well as hers. When he heard her crow he came out, and in his stentorian, domineering tones. crowed too; and this was what he said: .'Un-con- ti-tu-t -tion-al!.," That was hor- rible. Will our lawmakers initiate him now in this crisis? I hope not.

INSANITY OF SUDDEN WEALTH.
Queer Things Done by People Who
 Have Become hich Unexpectedly.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 People, who, after years of grinding poverty, suddenly come into great wealth sometimes put their new fortunes to pe- culiar uses Certainly they should be al- loved to do so without harsh criticism, for the strangest things done by the newly rich are done to realize a dream which has cheered the heart when the days were full of trouble scarcely to be borne, and helped to tighten the great load of poverty.
 A while ago an Englishman. who all his life had never been able to keep his feet shod properly, suddenly came into large fortune. The first thin ghe did was to give an order for shoes to several shoemakers. so arranging it that he could put on new pair of shoes every day in the year. How often had he said to him. self in his years of poverty, when his toes were sticking out of his shoes or the water coming into them: "Oh, if I ever get any money, won't l jut blow myself on shoes" The opportunity came, and the first thing he did was to indulge in an orgy of new shoes.
 A miner who came into an unexpected fortune gave a great feast to his work mates. Often when the miners were eat ing the contents of their dinner-pails down in the dim galleries of the mine he had thought of what feast he would like to see spread there for himself and his fellow-workmen. So, when he came into his fortune he had one of the galleries of the mine lighted and decorated, and great and costly feast served there to the miners, at which he presided.
 Another man who suddenly became rich bought all his particular friends a com plete outfit of clothes, even going so far as to furnish each of them with a gold watch and chain. Then he invited them to famous feast, at which all sorts of expensive luxuries were served. When the guests reached their homes each found an envelope with $50 in it, and note saying that the money was to pay for a short vacation. This generous man, unfortunately, died in want and misery not long after receiving his windfall.
 rather romantic way of spending money was that adopted by the builder of the Beggars Bridge, which spans the River Esk. When poer he had the great est difficulty in meeting his sweetheart, who lived on the opposite bank of the river, owing to the. Esk often being swol- len and so impossible, even to a good swimmer. The ardent lover when dis traut one day, registered a VOW that If ever he became rich he would take good care that no Eskdale lover should ever suffer again in the manner he suffered. He became rich and fulfilled his VOW by the erection of the Beggar's Bridge.

 Instantly the gas was turned off and the Baby could see in the dim light the little figures fitting about. Soon all were gone and she sat alone thinking of their talk.
 In the first plae, about the handkerchief with "E. NJ" in the corner. She knew at once that Miss Estelle had dropped it in the garden and had sent the Baby to look for 1t. She got it mixed with the paper and put it in the trash box. The tie was Mother Mayors. She had let the Baby look at 1t, and not one of them had seen it from that day to this; and the nut picks-oh, yes, she remembered all about them. Now, the five-dollar gold piece was present from Uncle Will. She sup posed she must have lost it playing with the new puppies. The silver puff box was her own. She had put it in the arbor af- ter all. She'd been playing with the purse in the attic and had forgotten all about it, and the gold ring-oh, how glad she was to know where 1t was; she would get that the first thing.
 Some one shook the Baby violently. And to think, we've been looking for you for ever so long, when you were asleep away down here. Oh. you will run me crazy yet" shrill voice said. And the Baby looked up. mildly surprised, into the face of Miss Estelle. But she found the lost things-every onel
 Say, don't you think you'd better dream a nice, long dream? Then perhaps, if you've lost something, maybe you'll find 1t. At least the Baby thinks so.

 Gentlemen-"I In taking a medicine l consider it of vital importance that you should be sure that it is the right kind and that it will cure.
 As rule patent medicines claim to do much while they really do little; but l will say for Peruna that it is the only medicine I ever knew that does all and more than it claims.

"GREATEsT OF BEccARs."
Honor for Man Who Collected $15,ooO,
 900 to Pay Church Debts.
he Chicago Inter-Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The words, 'the greatest of beggars," would not be considered by most men a title of honor. But Edward Kimball, who died on Wednesday in one of Chica- go's suburbs, those words doubtless ex- pressed his proudest claim of distinction For MT. Kimball had reduced beggary to science and raised 1t to the dignity of a fine art, and his skill in its prac- tice was applied to the worthiest purposes.
 MT. Kimbalis career proved that great beggars, like great poets, are not made, but born. That his thirty years success full experience as a merchant and com mercial traveller aided in equpping him for his real vocation is probably true, but when he finally resolved to devote his whote attention to beggary his success was so astounding that 1t demonstrated itself as not the product of training, but of native genius
 In 1877 MT. Kimball, then on a business visit to the Pacific coast became interest ed in the efforts of a San Francisco church to rid itself of debt. He lent his assistance. and it was so valuable that before he had left the city he had cleared two other churches of their debts. These feats he repeated In other California towns. -alc thus gained a conviction that he was destined to great success in that particular line. In 1878 he retired from business, and for more than 9 years de- voted his energies exclusively to helping churches lift their debts.
 His performances in that way were in- Iced remarkable In two Sundays, for ex- ample, he raised S11o0o0 for New York Presbyterian church. He was, known to start with asking three men in his audi ence to give $500 each. and before he fin- ished to have twenty each give that amount. All over the country his ser vices were in demand, and were freely given. He collected for the one purpose of church debt paying fully $15,oo0,oO There is reason to believe that his record in ob- taining contributions for a benevolent purpose has never been equaled.
 While many residents of Chicago have seen him at work, few witnesses are able to give any sort of clear description of his methods. He made no pretensions to ora tory. and his chief argument seems to have been in the line of convincing busi- ness men that their private interests were served by liberal contributions to churcH building. Beyond that, his arguments do not appear to have remained in his hearers minds. They can only say that he stood up and talked. and put the case so winningly that they were irresistibly moved to give. They simply could not re- fuse.
 To accomplish such results. and by methods that defled imitation or analysis, and almost evaded description. was evil dently genius-that power over tbeir fel- low men with which few are gifted Now, supreme achievement In any worthy ac- tivtty plainly deserves honor. Therefore, to call Edward ISimbali "the greatest of beggars' 's to give him title of honor, for the words express his supremacy in that peculiar branch of human activity wherein he surpassed al. other men in history.
