THOSE FAMOUS "LAsT WORDS"
They WereIArbitrariIy Selected by one of
the Presidents Physicians.

And so it appears that those now
famous ''last words of PRESIDENT Nc
Klnley were as a matter of fact arbi-
trarily selected by DR.. Manr, one Of
his physicians, as 'the most appropri
ate to be remembered. " An hour af-
ter DR.. Mann had selected these 'ilast
words" and written them down the
diving president had some further con-
versation with his wife, and even later
than that gave utterance 10 words and
sentences. But the inscrutablc Dr..
Mann had made his selection, and it
had. to stand The sentiment in the
reputed "last words is pure and holy,
and there is no doubt that that senti-
ment remained with the dying man uu-
til his latest consciousness. But ac-
cording to Dr. Mann himself the pres
ident said much after Good bye, all J;
goodbye. It is God 5 way. His will, not
ours, be done. /" The words quoted
were the most appropriate 10 be re-
membered as his last words" hence
they were written on DR.. Mann's pre-
scription pad and handed down to his
tory.

SAGE ARRESTED FOR vAGRANCY.
PoIceman's BIunder May Kill the Man
Who Defended Jefferson Davis.

A New Orleans dispatch says Ber-
nard J. Sage, the attorney who defend
ed Jefferson Davis in his famous trial
and a man who had declined seat on
the supreme bench of LOUISIANA, was
arrested Wednesday night as va
grant. The action of the police in
mistaking the aged lawyer for lott
erer has aroused indignation through
out the city, as the venerable man was
one of the best known men of the city,
patriarchal in appearance and in every
sense a refined, scholarly man.
Mr.. Sage is so years old and has
spells of physical weakness during
which his mentality is impaired Last
night he was walking on Prytania
street near his home when taken up
by policeman and held over night in
the lookup.
This morning he was discharged, but
was so mortified by his arrest that he
has disappeared and the police force
has been unable to find him. Alarm
for his safety is nov felt.

WERE NOT TERRELL COUNTY MEN.
Two Sensation at Cambridge Their Horse
and Buggy Found Flint River. Had Big Roll of Money

went to the livery stable and had his
horse hitcaed up and started out of
town. He was apparently drinking
very heavily at the time according to
the report of several persons who saw
and noticed him. The supposition is
that he was very drunk AID drove
straight from the public square down
Water street to the river and drove in.
The place where he drove in is pretty
steep aud horse would have required
considerable urging to go down into
the water. 1t is supposed that Sword
was drowned and search will be made
for his body.
"Some parties who saw him in a sa-
loon before he left say that he had a
considerable roll of money, probably
three or four hundred dollars. Mr.
j. w. Furgerson, his partner, went to
the livery stable this morning and got
his horse and buggy and left for Brin-
son before the news spread of finding
the drowned horse. He left some pa
pers with the livery man to deliver to
Sword, who he said would be back to-
day. Both men are said to be from
Terrell county"

FULL OF HONEY.
Bees Have Made Their Hive in
General Lees Equestri-
an Figure.

1t has been discovered that in the
heroic equestrian statue of General
Robert E. Lee, in Richmond, there are
probably hundreds of pounds of honey.
Both the horse and rider are of bronze,
and are hollow. For moths bees have
been going in and out at the parted
lips and nostrils of the horse and the
rider.
1t was noticed that the bees went in
and out in almost a constant swarm.
The bees began to enter the statue
last summer, and have been making
honey ever since. There il no way to
get inside the statute without damage
to it. The fear is that vandals may try
to get at the honey.

PAROLE CONVICTS,
The State Prison Board to Rec.
ommend the System
for Georgia,

The next annual report of the board
of prison commissioners, which is now
being prepared by Chairman Turner,
will contain recommendation to the
Legislature that the state adopt the
parole system in connection with the
laws already in existence governing
the management of this branch of the
state government. Judge Turner says
that the sy stem is not an experiment,
that it is in successful operation in
number of states, and he thinks that it
would work well in Georgia.
He says that the parole system has
been operated in Ohio for twelve
years, and that during this time 100
convicts have been given their parole,
and that of this entire number only Is
pes cent have forfeited their liberty
by their conduct while out enjoying
the privileges allowed by the system.
Judge Turner says that this plan
would be made to apply to that class of
convicts who by their good behavior,
have had their terms of sentence
reduced to present service.
When a convict is given his parole
the fact is impressed upon him that
his release from stripes and the life of
convict camp does not carry with it
his discharge or pardon from the PEN
itentiary by any means, but that he is
still in the custody of the state, and
will be called in and again placed on
the chain if he fails to lead correct
life. The state does not relinquish its
claim upon him as convict, and will
not do so pntil the end of the sentence
imposed upon him by the courts.
Judge Turner says that under the
system convict who has been given
his parole will not be allowed to leave
the state, and, in addition, will be re-
quired to report TO the commission
either'personally or by letter; once a
week, and give an account of what he
is doing also furnish PROT from his
employer that he is at work and that
his conduct has been that of a good
and law abiding citizen.

OSTRICHES IN HARNESS.
Queer Team Seen by a Traveller
from the East on a Road in
Southern California,

Charles F. Holder, under the title
Queer Steeds," describes in St. Mich

whoa, chick! Whoa, bird!" some
body was saying.
A stroller along a road in southern
California heard the words and won
dered at such unusual terms for
horses. The road led out of little
village into the country, and was lined
with golden peoples, while here and
there brown-backed violets peeped
through the green grain that, dropped
from some hay-wagon, was now spring
ing up all along the wayside.
The stroller was observing the
flowers intently, so did not look
around until whoa, chick! Gently,
bird!" came right over his shoulder,
so near that he sprang to one side,
turned quickly, and in much astonish-
ment stood facing the queerest team
ever seen by anybody anywhere.
Standing so close to him that one of
the steeds reached over to peck at
flower in his hat, were two fuzzy,
grotesque birds of gigantic size, in
fact the largest birds in the world

a curious, sull<y-like vehicle that had
three wheels like a tricycle.. On the
seat, holding the reins, sat a young
man with a pleasant smile on his face,

saw the evident surprise of the start

They're little kittenish and skit-

eaned over and pecked violently at
the flower in the strangers hat. "They
can't kick, but they will eat anything
in sight. Whoa, chick! Whoa, bird!"
