STORIES TOLD IN WORY.
Libby Castle Contains a WhOIe

Probably the most extensive and valuable col
lection of carved worries in America belongs to
MI and Mrs Jules S Enrich, who are enthusi-
astic collectors of these rare and beautiful works
Of art, and have gathered from the four corners
of the globe much that is wonderful or beautiful
in carved ivory.
The costliness of ivory. the great care which
must be taken to maintain the temperature
where it is kept moderately even and sufficiently
moist and the time necessary to the study of
tiff one would be a judicious cOlector-an
tend to prevent the accumulation of works Of
art in ivory.
Libby Castle. the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Enrich on the heights overlooking the Hudson
above Northumberland ninety ifth-st.. where
the collection is kept is one of the most pictur-

Washington Heights. Built in medieval style,
its gray stone battlemented towers are draped
with clinging vines and wear an appearance Of
mellow age in the midst of scenes of perennial
youth.

worries is the statue of Fame, which sculptors

The raiding party, composed of

the unsuspecting policy writers from
all sides, shutting off all avenues of
escape. They caught the men red

of the First Regiment of Infantry last
night at the armory regular instruc-
ton in the School of the Company

After the exercises refreshments were
served.
Some important and interesting meet
ings have been scheduled for next week.
The most important will be the con-
sideration and discussion of the War
College Boards Interpretation of the
Dick bin. AS the military authorities
in all of the states have been requested
to send suggestions to the Secretary
or changes, and as the Savannah mill

changes, the meeting will no doubt
prove highly interesting, and result in
important action. This meeting will
be attended by the field and staff on
Monday evening. next.
On Thursday instruction in the
school of the Company" will be again
given The field and staff officers have
been invited to attend the meeting of

Men and women alike have to work
necessarily with brain and hand to
hold their own nowadays. Never were
the demands of business, the wants of
the family, the requirements of socie-
ty, more numerous. The first effect
of the praiseworthy effort to keep up
with all these things is commonly
seen in weakened or debilitated con-
dition of the nervous system which
results in dyspepsia, defective nutri-
ton of both body and brain, and in
extreme cases in complete nervous
prostration. 1t is clearly seen that
what is needed is what will sustain
the system, give vigor and tone to the
nerves, and keep the digestive and
assimilatiVe functions healthy and
active. From personal knowledge.
we can recommend Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla for this purpose. 1t acts on all
the vital organs, builds up the whole
system, and fits men and women for
these high-pressure days-ad.

RURAL MAIL CARRIER
HAVING A FINE TIME.

Carrier Davis of Rural Free Deliv-
merry time with his twenty-five miles
daily of mail carrying and has found
the people on his line of march entire
ly delighted with the new city airs
that are being put on by the county
districts. He leaves Savannah every
morning, and with his mail wagon
makes a trip to White Bluff and
through that section, returning at
night to the city, having carried out
the letters and papers for the folks
the postofice are pleased is evidenced
by the favors which they freely bestow
upon Uncle Sans messenger. He has
not kept a regular record of the free
will offerings, but among the things
pressed upon him during his short
term of service are mentioned as a
bucket of sauer kraut, several punches
of fine turnipS a mess" of fine old
long collards, a big box of strawberries
a lot of fine baked sweet potatoes,
fresh eggs, etc.
Among the people to get letters on
his first trip was an old darkey who
had never received any mail before eX-
cept in the shape of official commune
cations, requiring his presence at the
Court House. He took the letter with
misgivings, but finally, noting the
stamp, he grinned and said Oats all
right, Boss; Use bleeged ter you, an
[ gwine hab all my letters sent dis
huaY after dis"
The route is long enough to require
the carrier to keep going, and the
weather is not always pleasant, but
the smiles and kind words along the
way make it easy and Carrier Davis
has no complaint to make.

this will not be done this year.
The meeting will be purely a bust

auxiliary and they have been most
popular and we'll attended.
