JEFFERSON DAVIS
And the Liberty Bell When he Last
 Saw It.

Savannah Press.
 We never hear of the Liberty Bell that We do not think of the initial journey it made through the South, just seventeen was New Orleans. where the Cotton EX- position of the South was in progress, and the people of this section for the first time beheld the great tocsin which sounded the revolution just as the bells of Paris summoned the freemen to the standard of Lafayette.
 In January, 1SS5. the Liberty Bell was borne through the lowlands of the gulf and halted for moment beneath the pines and magnoliaS of Mississippi sound. The air was sharp and cutting for that sunny cline, and. among those who went out to see this eloquent messenger of a historic past. was an elderly gentleman. feeble and fast nearing his S0th year, The bell had been detained at Beauvoir long enough for this aged and distin- guished man to greet it. The crowd fell back as he neared the car and watched him as he uncovered in the presence of this mute symbol of independence. He himself had filled large angle in the public eye. Sprung from revolutionary ancestors. he had fought under the old flag and left his blood upon the fields of Mexico. He had been q Senator of the United States from the State of Mis- sissippi, and had occupied the otflce or Secretary of War. His position was now in retirement and his life was in the past. He had not so much as vote in the village election. The statutes of the United States h Id eXpressly excluded him from all hope of public amnesty. There was none too poor politically to do him honor. He had not assisted in tnterna- tional functions for a quarter of a cen tury. and yet the committee bearing the Liberty Bell from Philadelphia to New Orleans summoned Jefferson Davis from a sick bed and carried him into it's in spring presence. It was a historic scene. ard one worthy of a national setting in the Hall of Fame. He spoke. and his voice was tremulous. He announced his physicai infirmity, but declared that ill as he was he could not stay at home when that glorious old bell was at the station. He said:

Of this journey of the bell across the States of the Union, some of which had not sprung into existence when its tones first filled the air, may in every respect be realized. I think that the time has come when passion should be subjected to reason and when men who have fought In support of their honest convictions should do justice to each other Ton sacred organ gave coice to the proudest declaration that handful of men ever made, for they faced the greatest military power of the globe. That handful of men declared to all the world their inalienable rights and staked life. liberty and prop erty in defense of this declaration. Then 1t was with your clear notes you sent notice to all who were willing to live or die for liberty and felt that the day was at hand when every patriot must do a patriots duty. Glorious old bell! the son of revolutionary soldier bows in reverence to you. worn by time, but increasing in sacred memories!

 During the Imprisonment Hotema has writ len a biography and sketches in which he makes copous citations from the Bible to prove the existence of witches.
 The tragedy was enacted in the vicinity of Cold Springs Church, SIX miles northwest or Grant.

Worse Than a Revolution

Louisville Courier-Journal
 The indications are that the lobbies of the rival isthmian canal routes will put uP a fight in Washington that will make a South American revolution look like childs play. The Panama route people are actively at work and have knocked off millions from the price of their prop erty; while the Nicaragua route advo- cates are excitedly demanding that 3on- sideration of the choice of a route be summarily closed. and that their own decision in favor of the Nicaragua route and against the Panama "conspiracy" be accepted at once. But, patience. gen. tlemen of both sides. We have com mission especially appointed to investi- gate and report on this matter, and 1t Is likely that it's recommendations will be of more weight than the views of either lobby.

 After earnest consultation with his friends Bevin consented to carry out the suggestion. He provided with a long -bladed knife, which he concealed under the bed cover While the girl was administering his medicine and was leaning the bed. Blind Isom seized and pressed her down until the patient, who had supposedly been bewitched. could stab her to death. She literally hacked to pieces. No legal punishment was ever inflicted for

No other member Of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially II its calf Is

bis harpoon into the little one with the
the intention of killing 1t, for II this Is
done the mother will instantly forsake
It. II alive and struggling, however,
the dam can be easily enticed toward
the boat to meet its fate. Knowing
this, the whale fishermen always strike
a calf K possible and thus often make
captures that could not be effected un-
der ether circumstances.
AS soon rs the dam becomes aware
of the sharing Of her young she rushes
toward 1t, encourages 1t to swim aw.r
and even assists 1t by taking 1t unJAs

FOR her own safety and boldly attacks

the harpoons that are hurled at her and

men chance upon fortunes. The fort
urses we know about are not found but
founded on a certain substantial basis.
The nature of that basis of fortune Is
we'll set forth in the advice given by a
successful merchant to a young man
who asked, rWhat is the first requisite
10 making a fortune?" wThe first re-
ouisite to making fortune" said the
rich man, ~is health" 1.-THE idea that
fortunes are made suggests toll and in
iustry and skill. Nothing can be made
without these. But a weak man cannot
toll, and industry Is incompatible with
lil.health. If you want to be strong
remember that all physical strength
comes from food and that the amount of
strength extracted from food depends
upon the ability of the stomach to de
yest food and assimilate its nutrition.
The man who takes care of his digestion
is. in general. taking care of every other
organ of his body
SUCCESS AND THE STOMACH.
The merchant who gave the above
opinion may not have been much of
physician but he was a good deal of
philosopher. He had seen men with
success almost within the grasp, break
down because of .stomach trouble"
He had theorized the saying that the
weakest must 90 to the wall" into the
saying that rthe man with the weakest
stomach must go to the WALL" because
no man is stronger than his stomach.
The man who will learn this lesson of
success has taken great stride to his
goal. Health is the first prerequisite of
success and health in general means
sound stomach and good digestion.
Look at the logic Of the matter, Food
Is a mans life. his strength. Physical
life is sustained by food. But the fact
that a thing can be eaten doesn't make
it food. Many physician practising in
the tenements of city says of failing
men or women, rWhat they need is
nou,1sh,ng food" Shipwrecked men
eat scraps of leather. the bark of trees,
anything to satisfy hunger. But this is
not food in any Eue sense because it
contains no nutrition. All food must
