Those who have grown up in the

knowing care and the pressure of
life'r burdens, feeling the press of

meeting trial and enduring struggle,
learn in these very experiences to be
sympathetic and helpful to others.

Ship Subsidy Abandoned.
Republican Leaders Have Decided to
ShelVe II.

Washington, April Is 1T has been
decided at a conference Ct Rspuhll.
can leaders of bo;h houses to shelve
the ship subsidy blll-recently passed
by the senate. Two propositions
looking to this end are under advise
ment; one to allow the bill to die
quietly in the house committee on
merchant marine and fisheries, where
it now is, and the other 10 report it
back with motion to proceed to its
consideration in December next. The
result of either plan will be the
same. The bill will not be consider
ed at this session, and that means
practically that it will not be passed
by the present congress.
Even should the bill be reported
from the committee, it will be
accompanied by so many amend
ments that it would be impossible to
secure action at this session, unless
it should be madea party measure.
This could undoubtedly be done, if
the Republican leaders desired to
make an issue of the bill, but it is
the majority opinion that it would be
better to allow it to go over until
after the congress elections.

Whereas, God in his wisdom has
removed from our midst by death
our beloved brother Isaiah Jasper
Son, who has been faithful member
of our order, Dixie Lodge, No. 81, l
o. O. F., from it's organization;
therefore, be it
Resolved. l. That while we are
grieved by the loss of our brother,
we humbly bow in submission to
Him who ruleth all things, knowing
that all things work together for the
good of those that love and serve him.

loyal adherent and each Of US an
ardent friend.
8. That we extend to the berie7ed

all be gathered in the sweet by. ard
by around that great white throne

Mr.. Levers Scrap Book.

Washington correspondence News
and Courier: Representative Lever
is compiling novel 'scrap book" :"
This scrap book, or album, is to con-
tain the photograph and biographies
of all Mr.. Levers namesakes. Since
his entrance ino public life, and
especially since his election to Con-
gress last summer, Mr.. Lever has
been honored with a large number of
namesakes. In each case the parents
have sent Mr. Lever a picture of his
namesake, whereupon "the Baby of
the House" has replied with suita-
able remembrance. Owing, however,
to the already large number of name
sakes and their rapid increase. it
may be necessary before long for Mr..
Lever to confne his remembrances
to public documents or packages of
seeds. In the "scrap book" already
are pictures of over dozen babies,
some bearing the full name: CAS-
bury Francis Lever" others only one
of the Congressman's names. Across
the cover of his scrap book Mr.. Lever
has written this significant phase,

Enterprise is one of the virtues of
druggist J. G. Dodson. Often has he
demonstrated his ability to not only
keep pace with, but to keep ahead of
the times. Many times have the people
of our city had occasion to be proud of
the way this prominent druggist has
shown himself to be among the fore
most in the country in adopting the
latest scientific and chemical discov-
cries.
Even in this age of progress, the ad-
vance in pharmaceutical development
has been at times almost of sensa
tional nature. The druggist or chemist
who has not had push and enterprise
has soon become back number, and
can be found to-day running q small
store, the appearance of which, de-
void OF any signs of modernism, is
familiar to all.
It has always been Mr.. G.Dodson's
ambition to connect himself with some
discovery that would not only be a
source of profit to himself, but the
means of accomplishing good to others.
With this end in view it is not strange
that Mr.. j. G., Dodson in This profess
sion, shonld have been led to think
seriously concerning the use of cod
liver oil. He, like hundreds of other
druggists, has sold vast quantities of
this valuable, but nauseating remedy.
Into his ear has been poured many a
tale of woe, by sufferers who would beg
him to advise some waT they might
take the medicine prescribed for them,
and many attempts has he made in the
past to enable a patient to take this
remedy, knowing we'll that could they
succeed in doing so, he would be in
strumental in restoring health-and in
many cases even in saving life.
He was obliged to give up attaining
the desired end, of Disgusting the taste
of this obnoxious, greasy medicine, as
many others have had to before him.
He found it was not very difficult
matter to fool the palate, but he could
not fool the patients stomach, Even
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1902-11-20

when the oil had been made tasteless
by being administered in capsules or
other forms. the stomach would rebel
and promptly eject it.
Right at this stage of the game Mr..
J. G. Dodson learned of an important
discovery made by two eminent French
chemists, whose secret has been bought
by large Boston house. With char
acteristic enterprise Mr.. J. G. Dodson
connected himself with them, and sue
ceeded IN making arrangements with
them to directly handle this new dis
covery.
Thank goodness, we now have at last,
right here in town, a preparation that
contains all the curative principles
which have given the Gods liver it's
great reputation as remedy for vast.
ing diseases. Now these sought-for
principles are in concentrated form,
free from the neuseatIng, greasy matter
that characterizes cod liver oil as we
nave known it. This extract is put up
in a most paIatable and delicious form,
so that it can be taken by any one with
the most delicate and sensitive stomach.
It is positively free from any objection
able odor, taste, or any of the other
disagreeable features that have always
attended cod liver oil,
Mr.. J. g. Dodson will gladly tell any
one who will call upon him, all about
the discovery. He is so pleased in re-
gard to the matter that he wants every
one to know about it. Above all he
wishes it to be positively understood
that this new preparation is not q
patent medicine. He will tell you
everything in it and explain to you how
scholars have devoted their lives and
capitalists their money, in procuring
this product to which has been given
the name of Vinol-Wine of God Liver
Oil.
We think right here it would be a
good plan for any one who is so unfor-
tunate as to feel it necessary for their
health to take cod liver oil, to hear
what Mr.. j. G. Dodson has to say on
the subject. What he will tell you Will
cost nothing. What you Will learn you
can safely assert will prove of the
greatest value to you.

She said her hat was quite a dream;
A poem, too, think she called it.
To me it certainly did seem
AS if some crazy hand had mauled it,
Ea~
Had pinched 1t here and damned it there
And twisted it in shapes fantastic.
For reasons, though, l did not care
To speak Of it in terms sarcastic.
And, after all, must admit
1t would have been hard to refute her.
The thing was daring-just bit
Coquettish-and it seemed to suit her.
That is, when perched upon her head,
Below the brim her bright eyes dancing,
1t was small wonder that I said
I found it ravishing, enhancing.
I did too but I saw it since
Detached; the shape and color scheme 1t
Made all my sense aesthetic vince.
A dream? Well, I would hate to dream
i'll
The fact is, I believe no hat
Could ever dowdy seem or shady;

They just top off that little lady

MUT1NY ON A SHIP.
Murderous Plan to Secure $4,000 and
Wreck the Vessel.

Murderous Plan to Secure $4,000 and
Wreck the Vessel.
New York, Oct. Is. - The little
steamer Dos Hermanos was sent out on
a cruise among some of the southern
islands by trading firm few days be-
fore the transport Sherman left Manila,
says dispatch from San Francisco.
The steamer reached Virac and an
chored in the harbor there. Officers
and the few passengers on board were at
dinner in the cabin when about 80 OF
the crew, led by the boatswain, rushed
down the gangway armed with knives
hatchets and clubs, and demanded the
money that was on the vessel. The
officers were caught unarmed. The two
omen passengers fed to their rooms.
The captain and men passengers gave
the mutineers battle.
The Dos Hermanos was anchored
close to the shore and not far away
from the constabulary barracks. The
noise of the fight was heard at the bar
racks and officers put out to the vessel
They succeeded in boarding after 6
desperate struggle with the mutineers
several of whom were shot and killed
The others, numbering "a, were arrest
ed, charged with mutiny and piracy
1t is supposed the plan of the mutt
neers was to kill all the officers, rur
away with the steamer, take th'
SIS, 900 which was aboard and the1
wreck the ship and declare all wer'
lost except themselves.
