It is no discredit to a man to
have enemies and opposition.
Many men hesitate to take auy
cause that will cal! forth Opposi.
ton by any person because they
don't want to have enemies. The
world is full of envious people.
Some people hate a man because
he is successful in business or &C.
cupies a prominent position in the
community. The world has no
luminosity towards the quiet citi-
zen who dare not express an opin-

0fteuds no one. 1t is the man who
is honest in his convictions; the

that there is something radically
wrong in his makeup.

of bis sweetheart in the following novel
manner "My Dear Miss-I hereby
announce myself as candidate for
your hand, and shall use all fair and
honorable means to secure the nomina-

dates in the field, and I hesitated before
entering the race. but now am in to
stay. My views on love and matri-
mony have been expressed in your
hearing, and need not be repeated here.
You know I favor the gold standard
of love-and maintenance of that
standard after marriage. If you
decide to confer upon me the honor I
seek, please fix date for caucus with
your mother. I have no objection to
her acting as temporary chairman of
the permanent organization. Should
the result OF the caucus prove satis-
factory, we can soon hold the primaries
and select the date and place of the
convention. 1 never believed in long
campaigns, so if you decide to honor
me I will ask you to make the con-

The Georgia Fru t Crop.

The course of the present winter
season seems to assure that Georgia
will this year produce a phenomenal
fruit crop. The prospect that our
peach orchards will groan with the
burden of their luscious gifts was
never better. The continued cold
weather, retarding the rising of the
sap and the early budding and flower
ing of the trees, practically puts an
end to all fears that frost and freezes
later on will cut off the coming CROP.
The fruit interests of Georgia have
grown immensely within the last two
decades. but as yet they are scarcely
more than in their infancy. The pos
sibilities they present to the dwellers
in this favored region and the owners
of our productive soils are almost be-
yond computation. The markets &C.
cessible to them are widening yearly
and it only needs enterprise. practical
management and good business me-
thods in marketing to make our fruit
crop returns annually rival. if they do
not exceed, those of our great cotton
fields. Already there are over six
million bearing peach trees in Georgia
and their annual returns are over
S4, 900, 900. Other fruit than peaches
are of growing Importance and value.

How to Make Tools Last.

I know a farmer who has used the
same hoe for 25 years and it is to-day
as bright as new pin; is as thin and
sharp as a pairing knife. Says he
wouldn't exchange it for any two
bran new ones. Secret, it was always
cleaned and oiled after using. He be-
lieves in cleaning tools. Cleans even
his harrow teeth. Keeps machinery
and tools always housed. Is using a
drill that he bought 10 years ago and
has had none other for his farm of
ia acres. A harSfster-wire binder
saw service for Is years and might
have seen more had it not been
smashed to atoms in cyclone. Same
farmer made his sled 20 years ago.
Fifteen winters out of the 20 it was
used for heavy hauling in the woods.
Shoes were one and three-fourths
inches thick when put on and are
now worn to three-eighths of an inch.
Careful housing and immediate atten-
ton to repairs is the magic oil he
uses on his mplements.-Farm Jour

Nature s'makes all things beautiful
in their time'' Every one of life's
seasons, when life moves on Nature s
lines, has it's own charm and beauty
Many woman dread that period when
they must experience change of life.
They fear that face and form may
suffer by the change, and that they may
fail to please those whom they love.
The value of Doctor Pierce7s Favorite
Prescription in this crisis of woman s
life lies in the fact that it assists
Nature. Its use preserves the balance
and buoyancy of the mind and sustains
the physical powers. Many women
have expressed their gratitude for the
help and comfort given by ''Favorite

Its benefits are not passing but perma
nent and conduce to mental happiness

Paw Attention to Perche..

The ordinary ladder-Perch causes the
birds to struggle to secure the top
position, and much harm frequently
results. The birds upon the topmost
perch will also be very near the roof.
If sudden frost should come on dur
ing the night the cold will strike down
ION the backs of the birds, resulting in
disease. The fowls upon the highest
rung will also be in draft, as the ven
tilation in good house is at the top.
There is another objection to this form
of perch, which is that the fowls are
exceedingly liable to injure themselves
in flying down from the highest rungs.
1t is advisable to have all perches the
same height and at distance of not
more than two feet from the ground,
and there will be fewer lame fowls.-

Made a Million in the KIonkike

Mrs. Charles Purdy, of Toledo, o.,
has put the crowning touch to rather
romantic career by her return to her
old home, after four years stay in
the -Klondike region, bringing with her
something over 81 100000 and retain
ing still an interest in some of the
Klondike mining properties. Mrs.
Purdy has a host of Toledo friends.
She was for years milliner of Lagrange
street.
Mrs. Pur6y started hotel and board
ing house near White Pass at the point
where the great mass of miners cross
ed the Yukon river. She was an ex-
cellent cook and manager and her hotel
became very popular. She made
money rapidly. AS fast as she saved
she bought out the claims of dispirited
miners. She ran q sort of charity
hospital for sick minerss and some of
those gave her valuable pointers on
Investments. Her first lucky strike
was in buying a third interest in a
claim, which interest she sold eight
months later for 5000, 1000. This Win
ter she concluded that her stake was
sufficient and pulled out, selling what
she could dispose of for something over
$1,000, 900, and holding the remainder.
Six weeks ago she returned quietly
to +hot oifu nd rnnicf orod OF tho uo%al
Madison, where she had entertained
old friends for some time before her
good fortune was made known. The
lavishness of her attire and her jewelry
made it apparent that she had done
well during her absence. She has gone
now for an extended tour in Europe,
after which she will return to Toledo
to live.

left the same as in winter. If it is
objected that this makes the bees too
warm in summer, reply that being
in the house, use no tops and in ex-
treme warm weather I pull off the cloth
covers and thus keep them cooler
than if they were outdoors. I
The openings in the wall are made
by mailing a scantling 2x4, inches
above the floor along the wall, narrow
side to the wall. The sawdust ON
which the hive sits comes to the top
of this scantling. On top Of this nail
ex4 blocks inches long and as far,
apart as the hives are wide; then ON
top of these nail another 2x4 scantling,
as shown by Lower figure in cut. Fly
holes are thus made for each hive, 2
inches wide, 4 deep and as long as
the hives are broad. The weather
boarding is sawed out to fit the hole.
The hives are pushed up tightly against
these scanthngs and packed around
with dust. The sun was too hot in
summer on the south side, so built
a little roof about 2 feet wide above
these openings for shade.
The rest of the floor room above is
used to store supers, frames, extract
ors and the many things necessary to
beekeeping. My object in keeping bees
in second story was to conform to
mature. In this latitude bee, if left
to itself, never seeks a home near the
ground, but high up where the air is
pure. Keeping bees near the ground
subjects them to foul air, the source
of much disease. In the lower story I
placed an incubator and steam brood
er, thinking it would help keep the
bees warm during the most trying part
of the year, but when spring came. as
soon as I let the little chicks out of
the house through the run holes, the
bees went for them and stung them to
death. I took revenge on the bees by
turning the lower story into an ice
house, which In no way seems to af-
feet them.
The bee house has many advantages
over the outdoor plan. know of but
one disadvantage. By placing hives
so close together the young queens in
returning from their formulating
flights sometimes mistake their hives
and a swarm Is lost. But have used
the house Is years, and have had but
little trouble in this way-W. L. An
