Sidney Lasce1les!


All! what a throng of sweet
memories has that Arkansas
chief of police aroused in the
breast of Georgia by his little tel
egram to Chief Ball modestly ask
ing our chief to send him the
whilom lord.
Of course, to expect to see his
lordship's chise11ed face among
us once again would be expecting
too much. So we do not expect
it. But we like to dream of do
ing so. There is no harm in that,
and there is lots of pleasure.
Georgia minds the day when
his lordship toured hither. And
also Georgia minds the day lord
ship, with earnest eyes and trans
figured face, whispered to Geor-
gia that he loved her, Which
moment was for Georgia a sweet
one. And like the staunch and
honest lass she is, Georgia in re-
turn for it loved the lord. And
loving him, she 1avished her ca
resses on him. Eery favor the
state could offer, from a banquet
in Rome to a penitentiary house
party, was shown him, and every
sort of a loving token. from gold
to glory, was by Georgia hung
about his neck.
Like any other lover who is too
well beloved, however, he tired of
his sweetheart. And firing, he
fled-leaving Georgia to sorrow
and to tears.
Nor has time brought Georgia
forgetfulness ofhim. We should
like to see him once again and
draw him to our bosom-for his
own winning sake and for the
chance it would give us of get
ting back some of these trinkets

WITH CONE TALENT"
Making What i. Called the Best Out
of Ones Self.

=
of Ones Self.
Unlike the example cited in Holy
Writ, there are some people who con-
trive to- make more out of the zone tai
ent' in the way Of position, looks or for
tune that has been vouchsafed to them
than those who have the ten talents ~
10 make what is called the best out
of ones self or ones circumstances is
a most enviable quality. In most cases
such ability is Unborn, and develops itself
naturally, but it can also be cultivated,
if an individual possesses certain charac-
terlstics. Self-cOnfdence is the greatest
essential, but this must be tempered by
a keen perception, or it will become
.bpastSul, quality that is fatal to sue
pfedisposition that generally defeats its
own end. A certain amount of the lat
ter, however, is in way necessary. as
the world does not go out of it's path
to discover rara avae, and is besides
somewhat shortsighted, so that people
must be brought under it's nose, as it
were, either through their own energy
or the praise OF others, to discover their
merits. An admixture of tact, therefore,
while last, but 10 least, ambition and
good management should also be added
as prime factors. With qualities such
as these, an income of few thousands
per annum may keep up as creditable
an establishment as one double the
amount A woman who happens to find
the social door ajar. can boldly enter in.
Good looks will score as much as beauty,
and no care or expense bestowed upon
the house, beautiful clothes, entertain
ments, ETC., will be lost The woman
who can do these things-and there are
many such-would prove veritable
helpmeet to the ambitious man, who in
this country especially is often greatly
handicapped matrimonially. as fitness
and ability are about the last things Il
man considers in choosing a wife.
