HER WEIGHT DEcErv1NG :.
Young Man Did Not Want His Sweetheart Appraised too Low.

The assistant Treasurer of the United States at Boston. George R. Marsden. is something of a joker and told an anus ing story the other evening. He said fellow and a girl came into the office one day a while ago and that substan- tially the following conversation ensued: |: ''I suppose you think the young lady "I certainly do," the young man re- piled. with smile and a flush.
 How much do you weigh?' MT. Mars den asked the girl
 "A hundred and six pounds" she said After a little figuring the assistant treasurer spoke up again.
 Your girl is worth just 5000"
 No sir! She's worth a million"
 '"rhe young man hasn't discounted yet" the speaker continued. but after he has been married a few years he is liable to change his tune"

DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses csr- tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole nsld of newspApsrdom which comes under it's noties. and one of these signs is the mystic symbol rel dsneting "golden." which stands for high quality. and is thus explained:
 'Advertissrs value this paper more for the clsss and qualzty of its circulation than for the mere number of copies printed"
 Such papers are credited with s single sym hol; but there is c higher grade. according e this standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY, and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL 00l to describe adequately thsAr standing.
 The Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol eel and is the only paper 70 distinguished in this section of the South

Was a Bad Play.

The New York platform plank of the Democrats favoring government owner ship of the coal mines Is not the less objectionable because 1t is impracticable. That makes 1t doubly objectionable. The party has set a bad example in advocat- ing a socialist policy and doing 1t knowing that the policy cannot be carried into ef- feet. It was a bad play to the gallery Mobile Register.
 There was never time or an occasion when Democrats had more to gain by adherence to genuine Democracy than they had in New York. Their failure to do so is inexcusable from any point of view,

Time to Revive It.

It Is time to revive the disfranchise- ment scare and scores of lame brained. again that they are to have their suf- frage amputated. Howard and Street will dupe 'em, as usual, by the biennial scare of losing their suffrage, just as they have been fooled time after time before Gadsden Times News.
 One would think that dodge was ef- fectually played out, but it isn't. Just how the Republicans can now make any votes for their Party by exploiting this falsehood is not plain. but they will use 1t for all 1t is worth. No Democrat, at least, has any excuse for being deceived.

 Coming from almost any other paper that might be regarded as a compliment to The Advertiser but The Standard evil dently intended 1t as a sheer at its con- temporaries. It is a malicious slap at them because they refuse to get their views from The Standard.

SOURCES OF KNOWLEDGE.
You May Learn Something From Ev-
erybody Sou Meet.


One Of the most useful success habits
one can form is that OF learning some
thing from everybody with whom he
comes In contact No informa ton which
can be acquired is too trivial to be liz.
nored.
Constantly measure yourself with the
men you meet. You will find that every
one can teach you something which you
did not know before and which, per-
haps, you would never have a chance
TO learn again If you did not acquire it
from him.
Daniel Webster once made a great
hit in arguing case before n jury by
repeating a story which he afterward
said be had not thought Of since be
heard il fourteen years before. But
Webster was always picking up some
thing for future use. His famous reply
to Hayne, the greatest speech ever de-
livered on the American continent, was
largely made up Of little reserves which
he had picked up here and there in his
reading. from studying men and from
observation.
Many a prominent novelist has col.
lected material for his stories by max.
ing notes of his conversations with
those he has met and by observation.
Charles Dickens got great deal OF the
matter for some Of his novels in this
way.
One young man will go TO q lecture
and after spending an hour listening 10
the helpful, inspiring words of some
prominent man will leave the hall or
lecture room without having derived
any benefit from the address. Another
young man will attend the same lee
ture with an ambition 10 learn some.
thing. He will drink in the speakers
sentences as II be were never TO hear
such words Of encouragement and In.
spiration again. At the conclusion of
the address he will determine that he
will make more of his opportunities in
the future; that he will read more,
think more, study more, be more than
he ever was before. Such young man
has a purpose and is determined TO
learn something from everything he
comes In contact with and from every.
body he talks TO. The other has no am.
bition. does not throw himself into
what he does, let's his mind wander
hither and thither, so that be never
wholly understands what people are
saying and therefore never derives any
benefit or information from those with
whom be cOnverses.-Orison SWEET Mar.

The Table Napkin.

Curiously enough, that article now
considered almost Indispensable, the
table napkin. was first used only by
children ard was adopted by elder
members Of the family about the mid
die OF the fifteenth century. In eti.
quette books OF an earlier date than
this among other sage pieces OF advice
for children are instructions about wip-
ing their fingers and lips with their
napkins.
II seems that the tablecloth was long
enough TO reach the floor and served
the grown people in place Of napkins.
When they did begin TO use napkins,
they placed them first on the shoulder,
then on the left arm and finally tied
them about the neck.
