That Chanseable Weather.

A man wakes up at early morn
And feels a wintry chill;
He says; "lll wear "a heavy garb
That | may not be ill.,"
By noon the mercury is high,
And them he walls because
In such sultry atmosphere
He is not wearing gauze.
And then he changes, and anon
There comes biting breeze,
And all his limbs are shivering
ike
The limbs upon the trees.
Alack, when men are civilized
What constant woes befall!
I'd rather dwell in FIJI land
And wear no clothes at all.

Stonewall Jackson had small
mercy on soldiers whom he
caught struggling, but is said to
have laughingly condoned one
instance. During q forced march
in summer Of 1862 he stopped 10
consult with one of his general
officers. The entire command
had ther passed, and, as Jackson
and his officers rode forward to
reioin the column, the former
discovered a private up in a
per simmon tree. Asked by the
commander why he was 80 far in
the rear, the private replied:
"Eatin' simm ons.'!
"Persimmons? roared Jackson,
"Why, they're not even ripe
yet" "Like 'em green just
now," explained the soldier.
"And why?" asked Jackson
softening a little with amusement
at the fellows laconic manner.
"To draw my innards up to fit
my rations," was the answer

ing so truly the destruction she has
wrought to mans peace of mind. The
first man who made a study of this
subject was, Adam. Some have
thought that Adam made a great mis-
take in not being satisfied with the
conditions first provided for him by
his Creator. Adam was the largest
real estate owner of his time. He
literally owned the earth, and South
Carolina. And yet, strange to say,
he was no. satisfied. A rural pastor
once edited and enlightened
his congregation of believers with
the following account of the creation,
quoting the scripture from memory:
" In the beginning, the Lord created
the heavens and the earth and then
rested; then He created man, and rest
ed again; then He created woman, and
since that time, neither God nor man
has ever had any rest
This account of the creation may not
be entirely accurate or in accord with
the scriptures, yet it can certainly
claim the merit of sounding plausible.
"A popularity that l have noticed
among painters is the fact that nearly
every one of them that ever painted a
picture in which an angel was repre-
scented, painted the angel as a woman.
Strange as ii may seem, however, a
majority of the angels, If not all of
thems who are referred to in the Scrip
lures, are of the masculine persuasion.
Lively-Witted women explain this,
however by stating that it was I'M
derstood, of course, that there were
plenty of women angels, and that male
angels were brought prominently for
ward in the Bible because, otherwise,
no one would believe that a man ever
became an angel.
Since the beginning of literature,
ninety-nine out of every one hundred
books that men have written were
written with woman as the central
theme. OF all the prose writers and
poets who have ever written anything
ninety-nine out of every one hundred
have done their best work with woman
as their Inspiration or their immediate
subject (The word subject is perhaps
used incautiously; 1 should have said
object, for woman is always an object,
but never a subject) And the remark
able thing about it is, that every one
of the countless authors who have en-
riched the worlds store house of ideas,
has taken a different view of woman
They all disagree about her, and there
in lies perhaps the highest compliment
which they could have paid her.

HIS IDEA OF WOMAN.
Hon. r.. NJ. Hitch's Speech Hit the
Mark.

Hon. n. NJ. Hitch's Speech Hit the
Mark.
Hon r. NJ. Hitch's response to "Wo-
man" was one of the hits of the even
ing.
THE dictionary" said Mr. Hitch,
defines irony as a mode of speech in
which the meaning is contrary to the
words. A law book might we'll be con-
sidered a strange place in which to
find this rhetorical figure, and yet, Sec
ton 2473 of the Code of Georgia de-
clares, with apparent solemnity: In
this state the husband is the head of
the family and the wife is subject to
him. After mature reflection, and
some slight experience, / have become
convinced that the man who wrote
this was speaking ironically, or that
he was a bachelor; for no man who
has reached the years of discretion,
which are attained only in the matri-
monial state, would have given utter
ance to such sentiments-unless he had
just returned from a banquet, or his
better half were away on a vacation.
AS opposed to the rule eunciated by
the Code. George AIDE, in his Modern
Fables says: Every man is the ar
chitect of his own fortune; his wife is
the superintendent of construction.
Woman and love are natural coun-
terparts. One is the complement of the
other The one is propo-
sition-or at least involves
or usually ELECTS a proposition, while
the other is its corollary. One is a
parenthetical clause, the other is the
parentheses, whose lines always sug-
gest an embrace. They are insep-
arabic in the masculine mind. They
are incapable of being divorced, either
totally or partially, either a vinculo
natrimonn or a menSa ct thoro. To
some their relationship suggests that
between roses and their perfumes; be-
| tween birds and their songs; between
harmony mad music; between the wild
| and thrilling beauty of an ocean
storm, and the peaceful calm, the rain
bow, the sunshine. and the clear arch
ing skies that follow it. To others,
their connection seems to be more akin
| to that between vinegar and its
| mother" or between sin and ever
| lasting damnation A great deal de-
| ponds on individual experience and the
| point of view.

LACK cow SENSE,
People Get WilfuI.

A COW or horse, or even a dog, will

NAL knows to be harmful, but mankind
will persist in pouring in coffee even
after having been fully assured that

several doctors, but in spite of every
thing, steadily grew worse.
One physician advised me to quit
coffee and 1 tried quitting by the use
of will power, but every time it was
miserable failure.
My stomach was in dreadful shape
and l was unable to sleep at night,
nervous prostration set in and 1 be-
came barely able to drag about
One day While visiting a minister's
wife, motherly old lady, she proposed
to give me a cup of coffee, the kind
she had been using three time a day
for three. years. So she brought out
a cup of the most fragrant, delicious
beverage. 1t was coffee and it was
know how it was made.
She said: Five years ago 1 was af-
fected much as you are, but 1 quqit
drinking coffee and began using Pos
tum Food Coffee. and that produced
the result you see and restored me to
health
She said lot more, and when l went
home | got box of postum and be-
gan using it. Such a soothing effect
took place and l began sleeping nights
and felt a relief from my awful nervous
tension Gradually and surely l got
well and now feel as strong and
healthy as a woman should at my age,
with all my old-time energy restored.
/ earnestly entreat all coffee drinkers
TO change to Postum. What is the use
OF suffering day and night because of
some paltry coffee when one has but
