4 CASE OF
SCATTER -BRAINS.'
By MARGARET L. KNAPP.

!. 1.-The trouble with Billy is he's scat
ter-brained."
AS Mr.. Lennon said this he filled a
dipper at the pump and approached the
teakettle, The tin lid.was upside down
and very hot. He gave it hasty flip
which landed it in the midst Of the ap-
pie sauce simmering close by, and
poured in the water triumphantly.
Like to got scalded that time" he
said. fishing out the teakettle lid. "It
won't hurt the sauce, will it?"
81 don't believe it will. The Dip
peril melt, Nathan, if you leave it on
the stove empty"
That's So" Mr.. Lennon rescn =
the Upper and made fresh onslaught
on the pump.
BILLY means well, If he would only
keep his mind on the main thing" he
went on. "He's anxious to help.
haven't told you what he did yester-
day. 1 sent him to the toolbox for
more nails. There was plenty of 'em
there, but he took notion that it
would be a good thing il he was to
sort over the whole box. and emptied
everything out on the ground. come
to see what he was doing to keep him
SO long, and there he was, swimmin'
In tacks. Much as ever can get
things Strengthened out again"
Mrs. Lennon laughed. She laughed
easily. She was distinctly a genial
PERSON.
81 can't think where he gets it FROM"
added Mr.. Lennon.
HE gets it from his father" an
sWered Mrs. Lennon Unexpectedly.
'Why, you don't say" Mr.. Lem
mon turned around to see what she
meant.
= stCertain do. You're filing the ket-
tie too full, Nathan; it's spilling over.
Yes, you're both absent-minded. He
s can't get over it all in minute. We
must guide him some. Now, if you'll
bring the horse around, I'll be ready
to go as soon as the apple sauce is of
the stove"
Dear me, they're as helpless as kit
tens about some things" she thought
9affectionately, tying the strings of her
Sunday bonnet in firm, square bow.
She looked out Of the window at Bill
ly, a freckled-faced boy of 10, who was
tramping up and down beside the old
horse. Mrs. Lennon was Billy's step
mother, and he had decided opinions
( about her.
She takes my part, Z Billy said. "She
takes pas part, too. don't know
who's side she's one yerybody.s. /

The Street Car Franchise.

Editor Morning News: 1t appears as
if the City Council has not yet got
the right idea of disposing of the street
car franchise, although they have for
their guidance the benefit of local ex-
perience and outside example.
If the franchise be given away or
sold for any specific consideration now,
in after years the people will surely
be dissatisfied should the value of the
concession be obviously much en-
HANGED.
If buys a piece of land from B
for $1,000, B has no subsequent claim
on the land when 1t becomes worth
10000. Not so the city, which will
surely impose tax on the enhanced
value.
Just so with the franchise. the value
of which is almost certain to increase
with time.
Hence the reasonable plan would he
to assess the proposed franchise at a
taxable value; the use of the streets
like the use of any other real estate.
This assessment may be 100000,
5000, 900 or any other amount which may
be found proper; with the stipulation
that the valuation shall not be changed
until after a certain period of years.
After this time, the taxable value OF
the franchise may be revised by the
proper officials just the same as in
! the case of any other property.
In case of competition for the fran
chise, it should be sold at auction to
the highest and best bidder; the price
so paid to be merely a premium, and
quite independent of the franchise as
sessment
Thus, the interests of all concerned
will be protected; the city will secure
source of increased annual revenue;
the franchise buyer will have made a
much more satisfactory arrangement,
by being relieved from the necessity
of paying a large sum outright; and,
lastly, the people hereafter will real
lie that none of their rights and priv
ileges have been abused. Democritus.

WAY OF SALVATION.
Belief in AtOning Power of Blood,
Faith and Works Necessary.

Faith and Works Necessary.
Rev. DR.. J. D. Jordan. at the First
Baptist Church last night, preached
an eloquent sermon on the necessities
to salvation, which he said, are the
blood of atonement, faith and works.
The necessity for each of these he
proved by citations from the Bible,
taking as the text for the first part of
the sermon, Heb. tx, %: And with
out shedding of blood there is no re-
mission"
Blood" he said. has always been
connected with religion. Fire. water
and blood are spoken of in connection
with publication. but in no instance
is human conscience or heart repre-
scented as being purified except by
blood; no instance can be cited where
a soul has been saved only by prayer.
The blood spoken of in the Old Testa-
ment in connection with publication
was only used as a symbol for the
atoning blood of Jesus Christ, which
cieanseth from all sin.
There is no cleansing of the human
life, save at the fount of blood This
is according to the wisdom of God, and
none but fool could imagine there
to be any other way. There Is no saw
ing of souls and redemption of human
ny except through the DlOOIy way.
1t would have been folly for God to
sacrifice His son, had it not been an
absolute necessity, and 1t would be fol-
~ to imagine Christ giving himself
10 the cross, could the same results
have been accomplished without the
shedding of His blood. 1t was impoS-
sible. This was the way, and there
was no other way. So the human heart
and the human life that spurns the
idea OF blood cleansing. spurns the only
opportunity of salvation and of eternal
life"
The second part of the sermon was
based on Romans III, 2S, Therefore,
we conclude that a man is jutified by
ta!th without the deeds of the law"
our religion" said DR.. Jordan, lis
not only established by blood. but by
,8Itn The ancients were saved by
looking forward to the Messiah that
was promised; we are saved by look
ing backward to the Messiah that was
cruclned. Faith in Christ and His
atoning blood saves us from sin. No
'Cr OF deed of ours can save u.s."
me third proposition of the sermon
vas based on James II. 26, For as the
Soouy without the spirit is dead, so
1alth without works is dead also" In
summing up the speaker said: with
ul blood there is no life; without faith
~ me blood there is no salvation; and
ci.hout works in connection with
''h there Is nothing accomplished"

VIII BE the Attraction at the Thea
ter Tonight.
Tonight at the Savannah Theater,
THE Prisoner of Zenda," ever popular,
will be presented. This play has at
tracted more attention and drawn
larger audiences than any other which
has held the boards during the last
decade, and it is in compliance with
repeated requests from managers who
played the attraction last season, that
it has been decided to present it en-
tour for the coming year. The secret
of it's success lies in the fact that,
while it is modern and up-to-date, the
action is full of romance and pictur-
sequences. 1t has a modern nineteenth
century English gentleman imbued
with all the spirit and dash of a hero
of the Middle Ages, and audiences are
held spell-bound by the thrill of in
trigue and plot and counterpart, which
would have done credit to the pen of
Dumas, when he depicts the stirring
events transporting in the reign of a
Medici or Valois. The company is
promised as of exceptional merit, and
the scenery and costumes magnificent
and brand new.

her illustrous aunt, Miss Eastlake's
talents have not run to tragedy, but
to that one thing which drives dull
care away. comedy. and she is now APP
pearing with marked success in the
farce. "a Girl from Calcutta" 1t is
said by those who have seen her that
