MIRTH THAT PAYS.
The Queer Methods of . Fashionaoie
New York Man Milliner.

There Is q male milliRer IN New York
who holds o fashionable patronage De-
cause of his unusual methods, not the
least among which is trick he has OF
displaying upon his own bald pate ali
the bonnets and other headgear ne
makes for his fair customers. lie Is
short and fat and decidedly plain OF
feature, and the effect Of womahs
bonnet upon him is grotesque In the
extreme but he never fails TO SUBJECT
himself to the laughter of his custo-
mers, believing that it pays.
The milliner's theory is that the art
OF his creations can be fully appre-
ciated only when they are shown unuer
the most unfavorable circumstances.
"a pretty woman" he tells his GUS
toners. will lend q charm to any hat
and if she is very pretty you Will look
at her rather than what she has on her
head. But let me show you the ef-
feet of this bonnet upon me. Now you
see il upon me, and If in spite of that
fact you can see that 1t is beautlrui
it is beautiful indeed"
The fact that the milliner invariably
wears a black silk apron, across the
front of which is a row Of little pockets
containing spools of various colored
thread. and his waistcoat is usually a
mass of pins and needles, adds to the
ridiculous appearance he presents with'
say, a picture hat resting upon his
fringe of gray hair; but he hobs blithe-
" around, exclaiming. Look at that
side effect! Isn't that exquisite" and
| "Now, | am going to turn around SO
that you can get back view. How
do you like that?'
A woman who recently purchased q
bonnet from this enterprising millineI
saws that his method of displaying the
art of his creations is certainly heroic
for when she first saw her bonnet upon
him she came near refusing it tHer
and there, so appalling was the effect
She studied it little while longer
however, and eventually came to The
conclusion that there certainly was
great deal in the theory of his strange
custom.-New York Press.

PlTH AND POINT.

When a friend tells you Of his wrongs
he wants sympathy and not an argu-
ment.
Before a mans first baby is a week
old he knows more than he had ever
dreamed about.
Speaking Of "secret Sorrows" it is
good plan to keep them so, as telling
only multiplies them.
When a man wants to give you ad
vice you can't lose anything by listen
ing, but you will make an enemy by
refusing.
A man occasionally breaks even
When it comes to wall paper the wire
does the picking and the husband does
the kicking.
Every one should have saved III
enough money to take things LITTLE
easier by the time the age comes fol

Had Eaten the Details.

The editor of a country newspaper Is
often his own reportorial staff as well,
and some of his experiences when out
after news would make interesting
reading. The editor Of a fourishing
journal in a northern California town
recently called at the home Of the
brides parents" the day after the wed
ding. He was DESTROYS Of telling his
readers all about the event and wished
to give the young couple a good send
off as we'll. The brides mother met
him.
Good morning. Mrs. Jones'" said the
editor 1--WE called to get some OF the
details Of the wedding"
Goodness" replied Mrs. Jones In dis
may. they're all gone. You ought &c
have come last night. They ate every
scrap."-San Francisco Bulletin.

Traits of Indian Children.

A teacher in an Indian school writes:
"a little girl got her finger mashed Oh
recently in the cogs of the mangle or
our laundry. She never utters a SOUND
or complaint about the pain. An In
dian doesn't appreciate favor. If you
give him bread today, tomorrow he
will ask for two pieces and the next
day will want coffee thrown in, and II
you refuse will be greatly offended.
One of the hardest things we have to
do is to teach the little Indians to say
Thank you"

Worlds Best Selling Book.

1t may be surprising but doubtless
gratifying to the public to know that
the Bible is still the worlds best sell
ing book, the announcements of secu-
lar publishers to the contrary notwith-
standing. Recent reports show that
the British Bible society has since its
establishment distributed 1S0,OOO,OOO
copies of the Scriptures, while the
American Bible society has added
more than 100000 to the flood Of
volumes poured into all the countries
of the world.-Washington Post.

AMERICANS STONED
BY MAD HAYT|ANS
Scenes of Great Disorder at Port
Soldiers Mob Carriages
Flying U. S. Flag.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Aug. 4.
The city of Port Au Prince is
IN a state of great disorder.
Bands of soldiers, throwing
stones, prevent the Syrians from
re-opening their stores.
American citizens have hoisted
the stars and stripes over their
residences and number of them
have sought refuge in the Ameri-
can legation, driving there in
carriages flying the American
flag and pursued by the popu1ace
throwing stones.
After the disorders of the
morning, Mr.. Powell, the Ameri-
can minister, went to the palace
and demanded of President Nord
that the government should take
immediate action to stop the dis
orders, and to protect all foreign.
ers and their property, demand
ing specially that American in
terests be protected.
The president sent for the
minister of the interior and the
military governor and ordered
them to take steps to stop the
disorders, and for this purpose
to send troops and police to the
disturbed districts.
President Nord assured Min
lister Powell that the lives and
property of foreigners would be
protected, and said he would see
that their business did not suffer
damage. After the interview at
the palace, Minister Powell and
Alexa nder Battiste, deputy con-
sui, and General Carrie, the mill
tary governor, visited the dis.
turbed districts and personally
saw that protection was given to
the houses of foreigners.
The energetic and prompt
action of Minister Powell has no
doubt saved not only the prop
erty but the lives of foreigners
and prevented greater disturb
ances.

japanese are Closing In On
Russians From Every Side
Russians Lost 1000 Men at Sirnoucheng and
japanese Buried 700 Dead Soldiers
Found on the Battlefield.

Toxic, August SIT is now es.
tlmated that the Russians lost
two thousand men in the fgting
at SimouCheng.
The Japanese sanitary corps
buried seven hundred bodies in
the valleys through which the
Russians retreated. Prisoners
and Chinese report that many of
the Russians dead and wounded
were moved by the Russians
themselves.
The Japanese captured six
guns, and $40 shells, a quantity
of stores and thirty prisoners.
A detachment of the Russian
medical corps which was captur-
ed by the Japanese was returned
to Russians lines. The Japanese
casualties at Simoucheng amount
ed to 800 men, including eight Of
tcers killed and twenty-four off,
GERS wounded.
General Kuroki's attack on the
late Lieutenant General Count
Keller was in time to forestall the
assumption of the defensive on
the part of the Russians. Gen
eral Kuroki telegraphs that the
Russians were gradually reinfor-
ced until they had four divisions.
The center moved out from
Lao Yang to Anping, which is 3
miles from LAO Yang.

Officials of the butchers or

utterances of a police inspector,
who is saidAto have said that
after this, rioters will be taken to
the morgue instead of police
stations.
The police" said Secretary
Call, ARE doing more to incite
riot and lawlessness than all the
strikers. Such bravado is
enough to drive some of our men,
especially the hot heads, to carry,
revolvers, themselves. A can of

Butchers and Packers
Locked in Deadly Grip

Chicago, Aug. An a state.
ment given out tonight by the
packers, the report that negotia-
tons are in progress to bring
about another conference be-
tween the packers and the labor
leaders is declared to be entirely
unfounded. The packers assert
that there is not the slightest
possibility of further conferences
with the strike leaders.
According to this statement
the packing being made at the
plants is satisfactory to all the
packers, more men are being en-
ployed daily, all contracts and
current orders are being made
at lower prices than before the
strike commenced. In a table
accompanying the statement it is
shown that the total number of
men at work tonight at all points
is more than $4,000. With this
number of men at work the
packers claim to have shipped a
total of S21 carloads of f~oaL
meats from all points yesterday.
Beyond seeing that the order

GEORG|A'S DISPLAY
IS EXCEEDINGLY fine
State Makes Fine Showing With
Its Varied Exhibits at st.
Louis Exposition.

NJ <Ou1S MO.S aug. ISL, 19U4s
The display made by Georgia
at the Worlds Fair, furnished
many pleasant surprise for the
Georgia visitor, and, in view of
the small Legislative appropria-
ton, and because of the varied in
terest it touches, is a1center of at
traction for all visitors.
Georgia's exhibits are even
more of credit to the State than
If they had been made wholly out
the legislative appropriations, for
the enterprise and progress of
the people are everywhere DEM
onstrated in this effort to put the
good old state and it's magnificent
resources to the front.
This is the first and only time
that Georgia has been adequately
represented at any Worlds Fair,
and the results obtained with the
limited facilities at hand, have
been gratifying. We feel that it
is the duty of every citizen who
can possibly spare the time and
the means to visit the Worlds
Fair and see by personal obsers
walton what resources we have az
hand and the liberal, far-sighted
business policy possessed by some
of our citizens who have Contrib
uted to this movement. The
Mineral exhibit shows that ther
IS no state in the Union, nor any
foreign country, that has more
valuable or varied deposits, where
the conditions are such that they
can be mined and manufactured
with better results, than Georg-
ia.
Through the liberality of the
Board of Trade of Savannah there
is in the Forestry exhibit a mag
nlficent display, complete in every
respect, from the pine tree to it's
finished products, including al
turpentine plant loaned by Nc
Milan Bros, with all of the tools
needed for purposes of gather
ing, manufacturing and market
ing this valuable product in the
state. All the by-products of
distilled oils from rosin are adj
mirably shown by that portion of
the exhibit furnished by S. P.
Shooter & Co.
Through the public spirit and
progressiveness of the Georgia
| Syrup Association the state de.
monstrates the delicate flavor of
this product in a manner that is
attractive to all visitors. Capt.

ed a miniature cabin made of
