was at a country railroad station where
we were both waiting for train. A
more simple, quiet. undemonstrative
man in private conversation l never
saw. We talked of his famous trip
around the world. and compared data
concerning places where we had both
been. Especially was he struck with
Ayr, the birthplace of Burns. and with
two of burns nieces, the Misses Begg,
two elderly maiden ladies who lived in
a cosy cottage few miles from 'auld
Kirk Alloway.' and who were daugh-

eaooaoe smasher Defended.

The baggage smasher, who has been
bearing public condemnation for many
years and who has been cartooned and
Photographed as a menace to anything
in the shape of a trunk. has found a
defender in H. p. Dearing, general bag
gage agent OF the Michigan Central
railroad
At the convention of general passen-
ger agents in New Orleans the other
day Mr.. Dearing declared that the rail-
roads were to blame for eighty per cent
of the trunk smashing that has aroused
such general complaint. He summar-
lied the case of the baggage man
against the railroads as follows: I'm
derpald help, no opportunity for pro-
motion. inadequate facilities. lack of
time In which to handle baggage, and

For a Bad Back.

Sabra, Montana, Oct. l9th.--A great
many men in this neighborhood used
to complain of pains in the back, but
now scarcely one can be found who
has any such trouble.
Mr.. Gottlieb Mn is largely respon-
sible for the improvement for 1t was
he, who first of all found the remedy
for this Backache. He has recon-
mended it to all his friends and neigh
bors, and in every case it has had
wonderful success.
Mr.. Mill says:-
'For many years I had been trou-
bled with my Kidneys and pains in
the small of my back. l tried many
medicines but did not derive any bene-
fit until last fall, when l bought a
dozen boxes of Dodds Kidney Pills.
After using them a few days l began
to improve, my back quit aching and
felt better and stronger all around.
II will keep them in the house right
along for in my opinion they are the
best medicine in the market to-day,
and If my back should bother me
again, l will use nothing else."

Edison,s Theory of x.Raxs.

Mr.. Edison's experiments with X
rays and with radium have convinced
him that radioactive substances are
not sources of energy. but are rendered
fluorescent by the action of some hith-
erto undetected ether vibration or ray.
The ordinary electric arc, when raised
to. an extremely high temperature,
gives off ray which renders oxalate
of lithium highly .1uorescent. "My the
ory of 'radio-activity." says he. ''is that
the rays which the new elements emit
are set up in the same way, the sub
stances being rendered fiuorescent by
some form of ether-vibration which is
undoubtedly all-pervading. but which
has not yet been isolated or measured,
and which may have some extra-plan-
etary origin. To accept any other the
ory is to declare ones belief in perpet-
ual motion, in getting something for
nothing"

Mr.. w. V. Davis, secretary of the Sa-

One of the chief matters that will
come before the meeting, said Mr..
Lane, will be the effort to have abol-
ished the present custom of allowing
three days grace on notes. This GUS
tom, said Mr.. Lane is merely a relic
of antiquity necessity in the days
when the country was without rail-
road facilities and when a man need
ed such protection to his credit, but
of absolutely no use now.
In other states, he continued, the
custom has been done away with and
it should be abolished in Georgia. 1t
is of no value to the maker of note
and the banking fraternity may be
said to be a unit in favor of its being
discontinued. This has been realized
for some time; in fact the question is
now in the hands of committee of
