Georgia boy with his brother
Arthur who left Atlanta several
years ago to enter the brokerage

failed. For several years they
were the envy of many bright
boys they left behind who accu-
mulate wealth in a plodNing way
and added to their fortunes only
a few thousand each year while
the Paine boys were making
sometimes many thousands in a

They were specializing

sire to express their heartfelt
sympathy to brother, sister and
friends of Mrs. Russell Daniels,
who, while far from her own
northern home enjoying a happy
reunion with her kindred and
loved ones in the sunny south
land, heard the softly whispered
call of the angel Come Home, -
and cheerfully laying down the
burdens of this life entered the
gates celestial beyond the bounds
of sorrow and of tears.
While we weep with the sor-
rowing ones in their sad bereave-
ment, we shall ever cherish a
loving remembrance of her
genial presence and quiet social
lie While among us.
And to the stricken husband
and children we especially ex-
tend our sincere sympathy in
this their irreparable loss, and

Comforter for solace, for, HE

He doeth all things well;' and

something like 100000 have been settled

five years, for which judgments have been
rendered in the Court of Claims, causing a
saving to the government. as compared

their clerks were paid from the appropria-

lieu of all expenses"
In detailed estimates rendered from year
to year to the committee on post offices ana
post roads this item of expense was In
cluded. although, like number of other
items legitimately charged to incidental
expenses. 1t was never mentioned in the
appropriations.
This expenditure was understood by the
auditor for the Post Office Department,
both in this and the last administra ton,
and no question was ever raised as to the
propriety OF the Post Office Department
paying these expenses until May 1879.
when the controller of the treasury ruled
that they were technically irregular. and
that the practice OF paying the expenses of
employees OF another department should be
discontinued. This was done May 81, 1880.

obtain in its pages truthful accounts of all
the great political campaigns.
In addition to all the news, the Thrice-a-

South America In 1000 d. C.

The greater the number of the sue
ceeding phases of civilization the more
even must be the average length of
each and thus resemble the general
length of human periods. 1t is to be
seen that the two central European
periods. those of Hallstadt and of La
Tene. together embrace about a thou
sand years. an average of 500 for each.
The cultured periods of Egypt may be
even longer.
The development of Peruvian civili-
zation. accepting on the average five
successive periods, would result in
stratifcation of cultures representing
between 1000 and 5000 years. About
the year 1000 B. c., at the time when
Solomon built his temple, the early
Americans in Peru reared their mighty
structures to the glory of a creator god
Civilization in America would beyond
all doubt have worked itself up to a
high plane at some time and might
have accomplished alone peculiar
but certainly brilliant development
without the intervention of European
civilization.-P Professor Max Uhle in
