The Color Of the Rose.

More than with any other flower
does the color of the rose have special
significance. Red is love, white is
silence, yellow speaks jealousy. One
of the legends connected with the rose
tells that it became white through be-
ing bathed with the tears OF mourners
who sought the sweetest flower to lay
in the hands of their dead. A prettier
conceit declares that all roses were
white until n day young Cupid,
dancing among them. unset in his
merry sport a. glass Of wine, which
dyed the roses upon which it fell, red.
its own color. Another legend tells
the story Of a holy little maid of Beth
lehem who was doomed to death
When the stakes were heaped around
her the fire would not burn, but the
brands which had been flaming turned
to red roses, and those which had not
caught, to white. From this time
forth roses, red and white, were
martyrs flowers. The Turks say that
red roses sprang from the blood of
Mohammed.-The Delineator.

Why George Grossmith's Butler Was
Leaving His Service.

Why George Groesmith's Butler Was
Leaving HIS Service.
Many and various and weird are the
reasons given by servants for wanting
a change Of place. Here is a tale told
by George Grossmith, which adds a
rare and wondrous instance to the
long and eccentric list:
His butler, who had been with him
for nearly twenty years, went to him
one day and said:
If you please. sir, / want to leave"
Mr.. Grossmith was sorry. and asked
the mar his reason.
Il would rather net say. SIR" was
the mysterious reply.
This was uncomfortable. and Mr.
Grossmith pressed the question again
Come" he said. you have been
with me for so long and have never
complained before. Surely have al
most a right to know why you wish
to leave. Your secrecy is unpleasant
and | must really beg of you to tell
me your reason for leaving my ser.
vice."
The butler thought a moment and
then said:
We'll. sir. as you insist. l must tel
you. But l don't want to. "a pause.)
The fact is. sir, I've been with you
for close upon twenty years, and I'm
tired of the sight Of you and all your
family!"

A LESSON FOR PHYsIcIANa.
Spirit OF Harshnese and Loneliness
No Longer Tolerated.

No Longer Tolerated.
Thore Is n good result of "an
o~vercrowded profession" and of tho
sharp competition that exists among
doctors in the rivalry for popular IA
vor. This is the disappearance of tho
old-time spirit Of harshness and lord
Illness, which sometimes 1egenerated
into positive brutality. Those charac.
teristios were the natural products of
an original boorishress, increased by
success and a comparative monopoly
OF practice. It takes a gentlemanly
mind not to be spoiled by the attitude
OF subservience on the part of pa
tents, and the habit Of ordering by
the physician in charge.
In every large community there are
still left specimens of medical DR..
J%ohnsons, who from a ruder age have
carried down a cross and commanding
acerbity OF manner that Is now out OF
place and time. In one of cur large
American cities there Is an example
known far and wide. His loss of pa
tierts does not teach him any lesson,
and seems rather to Increase his chur.

delight in hurting the feelings Of his
patients by a perverse Feasibility.
A patient who was shocked by this
manner in the very beginning of the
examination suddenly stopped, and In
a quiet manner asked tho amount OF

One Occsslcn When Dr.. Halls Nom
ory Was at Fault.

DR.. John Hall, the late pastor Of the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church,
was very proud OF his memory for
names and faces. Strangers wondered
at his readiness In calling by name the
numerous members of the Sunday
School connected with the church. But
one of the elders of his church tells OF
one occasion when the doctor showed
no evidence Of his remarkable gift.
While DR.. Hall was taking his Gus
tomary walk down Fifth avenue one
morning." he said. "a young mar
stopped him, saying:
Good morning, DR.. Hall. I'm very
glad to see you. Don't you remember
me?'
THE doctor, after scrutinizing him
for some seconds, replied: I must con
fess that l have no recollection of evel
having seen you. Are you sure thai
you know mef

WARMER WEATHER AGAIN.
Mercury Only 4 Degrees Below the
Normal for the Day.

Nearly all effects of the recent cold
SPELL which smashed all records for
November in Savannah, had disap-
peared by yesterday. Especially dur
ing the afternoon were the warming
effects felt and from noon till after
sunset the day was almost IDEAL There
were many people on the streets, and
the relief from the cold was appre-
GATED
The lowest point reached by mercury
was AZ degrees at 8 o'clock in the
morning. A steady upward climb was
made from that hour until o'clock in
the afternoon, at which time mercury
stood at SIS degrees. This was the
highest point reached during the day.
The average temperature was As de-
grees while the normal called for a
registration of 81. This made a def
cheney of only degrees, a decided con-
trast to the fallings off of 20 to % de-
grees of the last three days of last
week.
Frosts were predicted by the central
office at Washington for last night
over the entire state. This is not re-
garded as indicative of any great fall
ing off in temperature, frosts often
forming at AZ degrees. At s o'clock
the official reading was A degrees and
mercury had fallen little lower by
midnight.
The southwest storm signals, which
were flying since o'clock Saturday
afternoon, were taken down at the
same hour yesterday. The storm
which had moved down to the Caro-
linas and Kentucky by Saturday night
switched its course and last night was
hanging over the Lake Regions.
The reports of the general conditions
throughout the country received last
night stated that it was showing at
Cleveland, Chicago, and Pittsburg. At
Philadelphia, New York, Washington
and the East cloudy weather was re-
ported, and similar conditions pre-
vailed along Lakes Ontario and Erie
In the South there was a general
warming up in temperature and clear
weather.

FLAGS HE LOVED
MARK HIS RESTING PLACE.
MIR. Thomas \. Theus Buried with
Military HonOrs.

The funeral of Mr.. Thomas n. Theus
took place yesterday afternoon. The
remains were taken to Confederate
Hall in the morning, and remained
under a guard of honor, from the Con
federate Veterans Association, until
$3.50 o'clock, when the burial services
of the Episcopal Church were con-
Quoted by Rev. Robb White, rector Of
Christ Church, assisted by Rev. Chas.
H. Strong, rector Of st. Johns.
During the time that the remains lay
in state they were viewed by very
large number of persons, while during
the funeral services the hall was filed
to overlooking by those who had come
to pay a last tribute of love and re-
spect. The casket rested at the south
ern end of the hall and was draped
with the Confederate flag. The many
beautiful floral tributes were placed
at the end of the platform, near the
head of the casket.
The hall proved a place peculiarly
fitting for the funeral services Of a
man such as Mr.. Theus had been.
His love for the Confederacy and all
things connected with it had been the
marked characteristic of his life. and
it was in keeping with this dominant
interest while alive that he selected
Confederate Hall as the scene of the
last sad rites that were to be accord
ed him. From the walls looked down
portraits of the generals he had fol-
lowed in war and since revered and
there also hung the flag whose every
fold he had loved, while around the
bier were gathered the griZZled Vete-
rams, his companions in arms during
the war, and among whom We're rep
resented many of his best friends in
after years
AS a part of the services the choir
of Christ Church sang Just AS I Am"
and Lead Kindly Light" and later, at
the grave, sung also Abide With Me"
Peace, Perfect Peace" and Thy Will
Be Done"
The pallbearers were Messrs. A.
w. Harmon, Clement Saussy, H. S.
Dreese, r. f. Baker, j. w. Mcintyre
and j. @. Hodges.
The remains We're escorted from the
hall to Bonaventure Cemetery by the
Chatham Artillery, under command of
Capt. George +. Walker. At the grave
the remainder of the ceremonies, which
were very simple, were conducted by
Rev. Robb White, after which the re-
mains were placed in a brick vault.
The Chathams fired "a salute of three
guns and taps were blown by Bugler
Joe Wilmington.
On the grave were placed the many
floral tributes, which included the Gus
tomary wreath of laurel, tribute that
is always sent a Confederate soldier.

PAID HIGH TRIBUTE BY REV.

PERFORMS DUTY GRACEFULLY

TOP OF THE LADDER.

Rev. Mr.. Van Deventer's Comparison
Times and Her Descendants of To-
day Who Preserve the Traditions
of the old south and Command
Respect in the Commercial World.
Ambition, Economy and Religion
Declared to BE the Working Girls
Best Friends.
Rev. Robert Van Deventer of the
Duffy Street Baptist Church preached
last night on THE Working Girls of
the South" He paid a tribute to the
army of girls and young women who
earn their living, expressed his sym
pathy for them, and dealing with their
trials and temptations. His text:
MANY daughters have done virtuous
ly, but thou excellent them ALL" from
Proverbs, twenty-ninth chapter and
thirty-first verse, was applied to the
Southern working-girl of to-day, who,
preserving the traditions of her ances-
tors, retaining all the charms and
graces of womanhood and command
ing the respect of those who have the
highest regard for the memory of
women of the old South who did not
work, goes forth into the world of
trade and commerce to assume duties
which have heretofore fallen to the lot
of men, and performing them to the abb
solute satisfaction of her employers.
EXceIs Them All.
L maintain that the working-wom
en- of the South excel them an said
Rev. Mr.. Van Deventer. Southern
women have always merited the ad-
miration they have received in times
of war they have taken the place of
husbands and brothers at home while
the men fought back the enemy, and
have divided their substance with the
despoiler, in times Of trouble they
have been strong, but the Southern
working-girl of to-day, descended
from ancestors who lived lives of ease
and luxury, officiate in their several
capacities with a dignity that is ex-
ceiling. They have no inspiring pa
triotism to nerve them for their tasks
in the humdrum business world, yet
they work -sacrihcingly and with
out a murmur."
Ambition and Economy.
The minister impressed upon his
congregation, among which were
large number of those of whom he
was speaking, the essentially of am
btion and economy Working girls
should always look uD to something
higher and develop their talents in or
der that they may be competent to
fill higher places when the opportuni-
ty TO step higher presents itself. With
out ambition" he clared, Ito be con-
tented to remain in their persent po-
tons their lives become as narrow as
the confnements of the offices in which
they work.
The strength of religion is above
all essential" he declared. The life,
the pathway of the working-girl is be-
set with temptations of a peculiar ma
ture. temptations that are stronger
than are presented to the man who
works because of the way in which
some people consider the girl who finds
ii necessary to go out and earn her
daily bread. 1t is dangerous for her
to rely upon her own strength of will
power. But with ambition" he con-
Guided, and economic, upheld and
strengthened by religion the working
girl of the South has a brilliant flu
ture."
