Taking Off His Hat to Nature.

Hamilton w. Mabie repeats a story
which shows how one man, at least,
was affected by the beauty of mature.
One day in the early spring Scotch
man was walking along the side of a
mountain in Skye, when he came to
a hut in which lived an old man he
had known great many years. He
saw the old man with his head bowed,
and his bonnet in his hand. He came
up and said to him after a bit: II
did not speak to you, Sandy, because
L thought you might be at your pray
ers."
"Well, not exactly that" said the
old man, but l will tell you what L
was doing. Every morning for forty
years have taken off my bonnet here
to the beauty of the world"
Beauty, wherever it is seen, is re-
Election Of Gods face, the shining OF
heavenly light down Upon the earth;
Wherever we come up, II it, 1t should
touch our hearts with Il spirit OF reVer-
ence. God is near; we are standing III
the light of his countenance.

Packing for Market.

Growing early fruits and vegetables
for distant markets is long since de-
monstrated success in the South. But
after the growing comes the market.
ing. That is of vital Importance, and
experience has taught wide-awake
growers to place themselves in the
position of the buyers, thus insuring
full weight and the best condition for
their shipments. The business is
bound to grow, but it will grow the
more rapidly and the more steadily
just in so far as packages shall meet
the eXigencies in transportation and
the goods reach the market in prime
condition.

Made Fit For Roses.

a famous English gardener once
heard nobleman complainingly say,
81 cannot have rose garden, though
l have often tried, because the sell
round my castle is too poor for roses.n
"That is no reason at ALL" replied
the gardner. "Iou must go to work
and make it better. Any ground can
be made fit for roses, if pain are taken
to prepare it."
1t is a wise saying, and it is true in
other places than rose gardens. Some
young people say, 81 can't be cheer
full" or 81 can't be sweet-tempered," !"
or, 81 can't be forgiving," as if they
were not responsible for the growths
in their soul garden, because the soil is
poor. But "any ground can be made
fit for the ro. es, and any heart can be
made fit for the loveliest blossoms of
character, if we try, with Gods help,
to prepare it for their growth.

OTHER PEONAGE CASES.
Judge Emery Speer Deals MercifulIy
with Three Young Men Who Plead


I Macon, Ga, June n In the United States
Court today Judge Emory Speer imposed Il
fine of 81 600 each on three young men-Wm
Shy, Arthur Glnwson and Robt. Turncr--tor
holding negro in involuntary servitude. He
suspended the fine under conditions. In fin
ing the young men Judge Speer said:
'.In view OF the fact that IL is the first crime
of this kind which has ever occurred in
Georgia, and because of the frank confession
of the young men, sentence is imposed in or
der To convince the public that the purpose OF
the Court is To warn and deter others from 81
like crime. During good behavior the flee Is
suspended upon payment OF SlCO by each
party"
The offence was that the young men who
are prominent farmers, caught Il negro who
had gotten indebted TO them, gave him
whipping and made him go to work fol
them. Judge Speer said that the problems n
the lines could not be solved by harsh
! measures, and that the laws Of Georgia were
| against such treatment.

THE WINDOW.
ITS Importance In the Scheme Of Re
failing.

IT'S importance I'm the Scheme Of Re-
failing.
Many dealers in the smaller towns
and some retailers in the cities fail to
use their windows in the best advan-
tage. To most retailers well-dressed
window will prove in results only Sec
ondary to good newspaper advertising
and the window advertisement
costs nothing except the time and
thought necessary to prepare the dis
play. Window dressing can be done
on dull forenoons when there is little
trade &C ming in, and should be dele
gated to certain of the employees who
display some sense Of proportion and
artistic instincts. Do not make a
hodge-podge of the windows. Dis
play one or two lines at a time and
change the display often. No matter
how we'll window may be arranged
it is not good enough to remain in
definitely. Ifyou are making spec
ial drive on certain lines, give promi-
nence to the same articles in your win
dow display, and always, always, have
easily-seen price tickets attached to
each article.
Did you ever stand in the street out
side well-dressed show window? If
not, do so. Notice the number of peo-
pie who pass!it, nearly every one Civ
ing a glance at it, and many stopping
for closer examination. Many, in
deed, enter the shop and enquire about
the goods many others will do so
later, when they have more time at
their disposal.
Some of those passing may not have
seen the firms newspaper ads others
have already noticed the ads and the
stock in the window should be chosen
so as to back up the statements made
in the advertising. The windows
should be "clincher" which ill con-
vince the doubters. Never, never,
display old style goods in the win
dows, 10 matter how low the price
marks, unless you wish to drive away
the better class of trade. If you wish
to get rid of the out-of date goods,
work them off on country customers
or others who are not particular
about style, telling them frankly that
the goods are of previous seasons
make, and therefore sold at low
price.
said at the beginning of this ar
ticle that good window display was
only secondary to good newspaper ad-
vertising. Do you notice in how
many particulars the same principles
govern the two kinds of advertising ?
A few lines advertised at time; the
advertisement or window display
changed often; artistic and attractive
displays; goods prominently priced.
All the difference there is, while in
the ad, one must give word pictures
of the goods, often accompanying
them by cuts in the window adver-
tisement the goods speak for them
selves. See that they have every op-
portuuity to speak convincngly.

DECISION ON APPEAL.
COURT RENDERS IMPORTAN NTOPIN
IONSIN FIFTEEN CASES.
Rcverscs Decision of Lower dietary
I'm the Suit Bought BY Wngenhurst
Funds.
Washington Post,

Washington Post.
The District Court OF Appeals began Its
final session yesterday before adjournment
for the summer. and, after hearing a few
motions, handed down fifteen opinions. All
of them bear on interesting cases. One sus
tHincd the rulings OF the Criminal Court In
the trial OF Benjamin q. Hill for the murder
of his wife; another sustained the action OF
the Police Court in imposing fines without q
jury trial upon automobilists who exceed the
speed limit. The Wineland-Wagenh case
was decided In the favor Of the latter.
EEvERsES JUDGE IIAGNER.
The Court reversed the deere In the case oil
f. o. Wagenhursts and Others appellants,
against Elias Wineland. The suit, which has
been passed on twice by the Court of Appeals,
was originally filed against the appellants TO
establish ownership Of funds on deposit In
the Treasury Of the United States for pay
nlent OF certain District sewer contracts, and
on April q Justice Hngncr signed Il decree
declaring that the funds belonged to Wine
land. The appellants at once noted an ap-
peal TO the higher court, making exception TO
the ruling OF Justice Hagner that their
answer to the cause was insufficient. On
this point the appellate court, in an opinion
by Chief Justice Alvey, says 1t cannot under
stand why the answer was held insufficient,
unless 1t was because the answer was not
divided into paragraphs. as required by rule
81.
The higher court held that such REQUIRE.
tnenI WAS an 1IlpTactlcaDle InlnR tnat the
appellants have good ground for defense to
the bill oft the plaintiff. and that apparently
because OF some supposed defect in the plead
ings or proceedings the benefit of that defense
has been denied To the defendants.
The decree which the Court OF Appeals has
thus reversed Is the decree made by Justice
Hagner, which j. Altheus Johnson, Wagon.
hurst's attorney, criticised In Justice Gould's
court RS made by judge who had conducted
his court as Kindergarten, for which criti-
clsm Justice Hagner imposed fine On Mr.
Johnson, holding that by the words so
spoken Mr.. Johnson had shown contempt for
his court.
This is the second time a decree made by
Justice Hagner, adjudgiug Wineland TO be
entitled 10 the funds now III the hands OF the
United States Treasurer has been reversed by
the Court OF Appeals. The first decree so
reversed WAS made November 10. 1901; the
one now reversed was made April u, 1908.
On May 81, 1903. Justice Hagner made
decree declaring Wagenhurst 10 be entitled TO
to the funds, but that deoree he set aside or
dered the case TO be reargured, and after
made the decree of November IS,
1901, In Wineland's favor.
