And Requested Judge to Send Car
riage fer Her.

When Judge Littlejohn took his
seat at the opening of court yesterday
he was not a little surprised as we'll as
amused at the contents of note hand
ed him. 1t was from a negro prisoner
about to be tried, and in it the writer
declar ID that he wanted his wife by
his side during the ordeal and re-
quested that the Judge send a convey
ance to the country AMI haye her
brought in As the muchly wanted
wife was at that moment industriousIy
chopping cotton near Flint river Judge
Littlejohn did not deem carriage
ride to the city essential to her happi-
ness, and accordingly turned down the
request. Shoald the good wife come
to town one day next week she may
see her liege lord doing some riding
towards the changing.

ASSEMBLIES IN NEW QUARTERS
Americas Lodge of EIks to Meet To-
Night.

The Americas lodge of Elks will have
meeting tonight, and will assemble
for the first time in the handsome club
rooms recently secured. Several days
since the Elks Lodge perfected ar
engagements with the Ametieus Club
whereby the two VIII use jointly the
handsome quarters of the latter organi-
cation in the postofice building. The
Americus Lodge of EIks contemplated
building an independent club house at
once and was offered cash loan of
$40, 900 for that purpose, but the very
desirable arrangement entered into
with the Americas Club obviates the
necessity of building for time. There
will be much felicitation among the
Elks tonight IN their beautiful new
home, and large attendance of mem
bers is expected.

GUERRY Has A GRIEVANCE NOW
Newspaper Falls Down On Candidates
Picture.

For months past candidate Query
has been pitching into the state papers,
without the slightest cause, accusing
them of unfairness, but in reality he
now has a grievance against the Con-
stitution. Occupying a carriage drawn
by four white horses, and with a color
ed bugle blower on the box seat, Mr..
Query drove about Atlanta Monday
night making speeches. The Consti-
tuition yesterday purpoted to publish a
photograph of MIR. Query. This was
all right, but in the rush and confusion
of getting out the paper the printers
used the wrong picture, and "before
taking" human testimonial of DR..
Punk's Pink Pills for the jaundice
peared in the paper above Mr.. Guerry's
name. The Constitution will, no
doubt, hasten to make proper apology to
Mr.. Query, before receiving his usual

I were held there. Like all novel or
bizarre statements, even this WAS at
first doubted, but was easily demon
strated to the satisfaction OF scien-
| tific men the world over
In nearly every branch OF the anil
NAL kingdom there are found peculiar
methods OF caring for Young. Some
are taken in the mouth others are
packed upon the back, where they ad-
here, as in certain frogs; others are
held In cells. as In the Surinam toad;
others find shelter in a pouch Of the
female, as the young OF the kangaroo,
or In the pouch OF the male, as in
the case OF the seahorse. But the
most remarkable instances are those
where certain fishes take the young
irto the mouths and hold them until
they are large enough to care for
themselves. A most interesting In
stance of this Is found In the chromis,
of the Sea of Tiberias, a large and
finely formed fish. At times, before
the fact referred to was known, It ap-
peared to hold its gill covers 30 that
It's head seemed swollen, and ex-
animation of specimen developed
the singular fact that the mouth OF
the fish was lined with young, packed
in SO closely that the mouth could not
be shut giving the fish very pecu-
liar appearances The male OF this
fish takes the eggs as soon as the
female deposits them and holds them
not only until the young appear, but
until the small fry can protect them
selves.
In South American rivers there IL
a fish which attains a weight of sew
eral hundred pounds which, 1t is said,
protects its young by taking them In
Its mouth. Quite as singular is the
method of the seahorse referred to. |
The male is provided with a pouch |
in which II places the eggs, where |
they remain until Matched. when they |
are forced out by the fish. In a speci-
men kept in an aquarium by the
writer the seahorse was surrounded

Please listen TO a short talk upon =
most yltally important subject-one
which Is greatly disturbing the bust
ness world to-day.
You have doubtless heard OF the
word Substitution" You have prob
ably read that substitution Is fraud"
Tack that saying firmly In your mind
and keep It there. 1t is worth some
thing. II IL tfue-almost invariably.
You call at store and ask for an
article OF certain brand or manufac-
ture. ono which has been thoroughly
advertised for years. and which has
earned an excellent reputation. The
dealer says here's something just as
good for less money" That dealer
thereby usually tells a direct false
hood. He knows that the article
which he offers you at a lower price
IL inferior. but the point is that 1t
yields him a greater profit; hence his
desire to substitute.
You may ask II an article Is superior
Just because II is advertised. Yes, II
Is. and here's why. The many we'll
known houses which spend millions
OF dollars every year In the good pub
locations OF the country are managed
by men OF brains and wide business
experience and these men know only
too well that unless an article has
merit there Is absolutely no business
sense in spending good money to ad-
vertise IT, II docs not pay to adver-
tlse any article of general use for a
short time only. Every advertiser
must walt some time before his adver-
fixing has created tho desired impress
sion and while he Is waiting his goods
must have time to prove whether or
not they are good II they are good.
they stick: II not. they do not, and II
they were not good and did not stick.
would this experienced business man
continue to spend good money adver-
Using the goods-throw good money
after bad as It were? Never. Ho
has too much business sense.
The average article which you see
advertised month after month In good
publications is itself good Buy an
advertised article. II is the true safe
way.
when you are buying ask for what
you want and get what you ask for
