THE TWO LEADERS.

aen Luck and Pluck. one summer day,
Went far.ng forth together.
Pluck wore suit OF homespun gray.
Luck had cap and feather;
L handsome, dashilg fellow he.
And full of careless pleasure:
Come, follow me: 1 hold the key"
He cried, "of boundless treasured"
He looked so gay, and bold and strong,
That listening ears were plenty,
lis train of followers grew long,
Zen-fifteen-twenty-
hundred-still they came while Pluck
Tramped on, with few behind him;
Poor plodding fools!'' cried laughing
Luck,
"a stupid guide you'll find him.
Luck led his careless troop ahead
With Boosting and with revel,
The sun shone radiant overhead,
The road was smooth and level;
Tut as the day wore on, behold!
Athwart the way, river
Without bridge, flowed deep and cold,
sight to make one SILVER.
We'll, WELL" cried Luck. "we'll sit ard

1t may run dry tomorrow,
Or we'll see coming, soon or late,
Some boat that we can borrow!
GO down they sate-and there they stayed
To wait and hope at leisure,
While Luck assured them, urdismayed,
They still would reach the treasure,
But Pluck. with those who tramped behind
His sturdy figure, waited
No moment on the bank. to find
whether the stream abated;
They plunged, they swami they fought

The shore in safety gaining
And theirs the treasure is to-day

Thought "stumickv Rude.

The Disadvantages the social worker
has to overcome in diffusing scientific
knowledge among the less enlightened
are well illustrated by an incident
which recently happened in one of
the East side settlements. After much
difficulty and considera BILE explanation
class in physiology had been started.
The parents of the children who at.
tended the settlement classes regarded
the new class with considerable suspi-
cion and doubt. But for some time, by
skillfulavoidance of dangerous ground,
the class work was carried on success,
fully. At last the functions of the
stomach were considered.
The day after the first lesson on the
stomach one of the little girls brought
letter to the teacher. This letter,
which bore the marks of labored and
strenuous composition, was as fol-
lows:
Dear Teacher: Pleas don't teach
Lizer eny more about the stuffins OF

JUBILEE OF COMPASS.
Splendid Festival Held In Honor of
the Inventor of the Mariners
Guide.

In the ancient city of Amalf a splen-
did festival was recently held in honor
of Flavio Gioja, who acquired distinc-
ton 600 years ago by discovering the
mariners compass, says the New York
Herald.
Of his life little is known except that
he fiourished about the year 1900 and
was born at Pasitano, near Amalfi. As
to the amount of credit which is due to
him for discovering the compass opin-
ions have long been divided. That the
Chinese knew of the virtues Of the
magnetic needle there is NO doubt, for
old records show that they used it in
connection with floating cork.
DR.. Breusing, however, has recently
proved that Gioja's discovery was a
great advance on this primitive met
cd. The compass which the Chinese
use, even at sea, he says, is our land
compass, and it was known in Europe
even before Gioja's time. European
seamen, however, found it of little if
any use. and Gioja, who was an expert
sailor. determined to provide them
with an instrument that would do as
good work at sea as the land compass
did.
This object he achieved after MANY
experiments, and, according to DIR,

Measured Mercurx.

The planet Mercury has been meas
ured with the large telescope of the
United States naval observatory in
Washington by DIR. See and it's di-
mansions determined as 590.11, the
equivalent of 2,65s miles. DIR. See
calls attention to the fact that he
has never seen any marked spots on
the planet disk, not even when the
sky was absolutely pure and the
image of the planet perfectly defined.
nor has he seen any diminution of
brightness at the edges of the disk,
such as would be produced by an alb
sorbing atmosphere. These results
agree in general with those obtained
at the Lick observatory and disagree
in respect of the markings at least
with those of Schiaparelli and Mr..
Percival Lowell.-N. Y. Times.

An Embarrassing Honor.

The obsequiousness of those who
hope to advance themselves by being
exceedingly polite to their superiors
in office sometimes assumes an anus
ing aspect.
A certain head of a government de-
partment was invited, says a daily
paper, to dine with others at a table
with cabinet minister. During the
dinner the former, who happened to
be placed between the door and a
window, and had said nothing a all, be-
gan to sneeze.
Are you taking cold, Mr.. Brown

'Tain't fer me, said the man. It's

10 YEARS A VISITOR
TO SAVANNAH.

w. w. Randall, advance manager of
Kate Claxton was in Savannah yes
terday. Mr. Randall is no stranger here.
''It is nearly nineteen years" he said
last night, "since first came to Sa-
vannah. 1 was plotting the Madison
Square Theater success Hazel Kirke'
then, which was one of the phenome-
nal successes of the day. The follow
ing season / came with the same play
and shortly after leaving this city, 1
sent for Henry Greenbaum, then adj
vertising agent of the Savannah thea
ter, to join me, as an assistant. Henry
Greene, as he is now known, rose rap
idly in the profession, and is one of
the leading advance agents of the day.
This season he is with Joseph Jeffer-
son at large salary. I was located
several years in New York, and rep
resented Mr.. T. +. johnson, then the
manager of the Savannah theater,
booking nearly all of the attractions
played here for several years. Last
season managed Frederick Warde,
in advance, and now l am bringing an
other old favorite, Miss Claxton. who
is making a farewell tour of the South,
in 1.-THE Two Orphans
"Of course, Miss Claxton rs not
young woman now, but she still plays
Louise the blind girl. with that same
charm, which made her and the play
famous some twenty years ago. Her
tour so far has been a series of ova-
tions, and crowded houses have been
the rule. She has surrounded herself
with the best company the play has
ever had, and the scenic production
painted recently by two of New York's
best scenic artists, is quite as good
as any company has on tour this sea-
son.

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms of Very Common
TrOubIeH

There is no disease so common in the
United States as Catarrh because it
appears in so many forms and attacks
so many different organs.
1t is a common mistake to suppose
that catarrh is confined to the nose
and throat. Any Inflammation of the
mucous membrane wherever located
accompanied by abnormal secretions
is catarrh. Catarrh Of stomach or
bladder. or intestines. is nearly as
common as nasal catarrh and much
more serious, although it is true that
stomach catarrh or other internal or
gans is the result of neglected nasal
catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which 80 far as tested seems to be re-
markedly effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The prepa-
ration is sold by druggists generally
under name of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets. and in addition to being very
palatable and convenient, possesses
extraordinary merit, in many cases
giving immediate relief from the
coughing. hawking and constant clear
ing of the throat and head, those
symptoms with which everyone is ia
miliar who has ever suffered from
colds in the head ane throat.
Catarrh is simply a continuation of
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are COM
posed of Hydrastin, Red Gum and
similar antiseptics and catarrh spe-
cities, from which it will be seen that
no secret is made of the ingredients
and also that no mineral poisons are
used, as Is the case With many well
known catarrh medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat.
bronchial tubes, for catarrh of stom-
ach, intestines or bladder, no prepara-
ton is so safe and gives such rapid
and permanent results as Stuart's Ca
1arrh Tablets.
All druggists sell them at SOC for full
size package. You can use them with
assurance that you will not contract
the cocaine or morphine habit as the
results from this catarrh cure are APP
parent from the FIRST days use.

one tradition says, the wives and chill
dren of some of the prisoners, who had
followed the guard, joined the Amer
lean camp the next morning at Purys-
burg.
1t is we'll said, regarding this daring
exploit in 'tMcCalPs History of Geor-
eia," "There are but few instances on
record where personal exeruon
ever for self preservation from
certain prospects of death, would have
induced resort to an act so desperate
of execution; how much more laudable
was this when the spring to action was
aroused by the lamentations of wo-
man unknown to the adventures"

The committees of ladies from the
patriotic societies are preparing to
make the state conference of Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution, which
convenes in Savannah Dec. 13, a bril-
liant one. An elaborate programme
has been arranged, the, chief features
of which are the ceremonies incident
to the refinement of Gen. Greene and
the dedication of the marble memorial
at Jasper Springs.
This latter feature will be a fitting
elimination to the programme, coming
as it does on the afternoon of the last

day of the conference. Indications
point to a large attendance at the
ceremonies. Already nearly fifty car
riages have been engaged at the vari-
Gus stables. Four special cars have
been engaged to take the invited
guests to the dedication.
The grounds in the vicinity of the
spring have been cleared of under
growth, and a broad path is being
made from the road. The work on the
memorial is nearing completion, and
the contractor promises that it will be
in place before the day for the cere-
monies.
A Park Around the Spring.
The ladies of the Lachlan Mcintosh
Chapter who have the undertaking in
charge endeavored to purchase a. tract
of land, including the spring, 100 feet
front on the Augusta road, running
back with equal width to Bay street.
This purchase could not be effected.
however as the owner of the property,
Mr.. Charles F. Graham, thought that
the sale of the strip of land from the
whole tract would make the abutting
property, so formed, unstable.
The memorial is situated in Sc
cluded place, some distance from the
city, the GOODNESS and tranquility of
the spot lending an added charm.
The Rescue by Jasper.
The historic incident which gave to
Jasper spring it's name is well known,
but at this time it's repetition is of in
terest. After his gallantry at Fort
Moultrie Jasper was granted rowing
commission and his scouts were of
great assistance to the American army
before the siege of Savannah.
In one of his excursions in the Brit
ish lines for the purpose of obtaining
Information as to the position and de-
signs of the enemy. and while he was
examining the British camp at Ebene-
ger, Jasper met a Mrs. Jones who was
in great distress because her husband,
an American by birth, had taken the
oath of allegiance to the King, but
who afterwards, having deserted the
royal cause, was captured. She was
we'll aware that her husbands life
was forfeited and her grief was over
whelming.
Planned the Rescue.
Every sympathy of Jasper's heart
was excited by her aff1iction and he
determined, if possible to rescue from
his captors the unfortunate man.
He consulted with his companion,
sergt. Newton. and together they de-
termined to make the effort. They
learned that Jones and several others
mad been ordered brought to Savannah
IN irons for trial, under guard, con-
bisting OF sergeant, corporal and eight
men.

made a statement in the meeting. He
said that the fish scraps are not
menace to the health of the city, how
ever disagreeable the odors emanating
from them might be.
Aldermen seen after the meeting
seemed disposed to combat any legis-
lation that might be aimed at the fish
scrap vessels. They asserted that such
adverse legislation would initiate
against the comnl ce of the port. and
that Savannah would be placed at a
disadvantage in comparison with other
ports. They said that they purposed
opposing any remedy for the evil odors
that might affect the interests OF the
mort
