y Dear Old Story Retold.

Representative Maddox of
Georgia has son WHO recently
graduated from IL law school, and
has hung out his shingle in Rome,
says the Washington Post. A
few days ago the son visited
Washington and had long talk
with his father about the law busi-
ness.
ooh, yes, father,' he said,
"I've settled that Blank vs.. Blank
suit, which you've had dragging
on for the past twenty years
Judge Maddox almost jumped
from his chair.

claimed, "you don't mean that
you have gone and settled that
case. Why, l turned that over
to you as a life annuity"
Judge Maddox has announced
that he will retire from Congress
at the end of of his preset term.
"And | reckon" he said, in
relating the incident, "that it's a
good thing. My son needs initia-

The New York Evening Post,
IN order to explain away the fail
ure of the Republican senate to
confirm the nomination of Crum,
in order to keep the Northern ne
gro vote in line, laid the blame
principally on senatorial cour-
tesy,' which takes precedence of
all other considerations with SEN
ators. The Washington Post in
replying gives the real reason,
and in doing SO further exposes
Republican hypocrisy as to the
negro. 1t says: "The Republi-
can senators are at heart as averse
as are the Democratic senator's to
such appointments as that of the
negro Crum to be collector of the
port In a great commercial city.
They understand that it is a pre-
cedeut of evil omen. They realize
that, in this country and under
our ins titutions, no one who is
Objectionable 10 practically the
entire mercantile and business
element should be placed in po-
sitlop in which his personality
will give universal offence. Crum
may possess all the virtues and &C.
complishments possible to mortal
man. He may be the choicest
product OF the high school, learn.
ed in academic things and gorged
with general sapience, bat the
merchants and shippers of Char
lesion do not want him, and his
unwelcome presence is q distinct
obstacle to any satisfactory trans
action of the public business. The
senator's perceive this, and have
acted accordingly. If their cour-
age and independence were equal
to their intellectual grasp of the
situation, Mr.. Crum would long
ago have been rejected by vir.
tually unanimous vote"

Puzzled His Tutors.

Lord Avebury, better known as Sir
John Lubbock, was a naturalist even
as schoolboy at Elton. In his day
there, however, the instructors cared
for nothing except the classics and
were ignorant of natural science. In
his autobiography Lord Avebury says:
Eat that time Elton boys, especially if
they were quick at writing verses and
learning by heart, had much more lei
sure than they have now. 1 devoted a
good deal of mine to natural history
and geology in spite of the remon-
strances of my tutor, who thought that
1t might have been better occupied on
the classics. On one occasion we were
given The Bee as subject for a
theme. took some pains with it, and
my tutor sent for me and asked me-
conf1dentially whether it was all true.
From what he said l inferred that
they rather suspected 1 was quizzing
them and doubted whether to COM

1t is rank foolishness to ATTEMPT
to remove sallowness or grexsinesi
OF the skin by the use of cosmetics
or local treatment, as advocated
by the beauty doctors. The onl,
safe and sure way that a woman can
improve her complexion is by purify
ing and enriching the blood, which
can only be accomplished by keeping
the liver healthy and active. The
liver is the seat Of disease and blood
pollution. Green's August Flower
acts directly on the liver, cleanses
and enriches the blosd, purifles the
complexion. 1t also cures consti-
patton, biliousness, nervousness, and
induces refreshing sleep. A sin..s
bottle of August Flower has been
known to cure the most pronounced
and distressing case of dyspepsia
and digestion. New trial size bottle

GARDENS OF THE ALCAZAR.

One of Their Greatest Charms Is the

The garden of the Alcazar is one
garden composed of several, each open!
ing into the other by steps descending
from a terrace or through arches in.
marble or living green.
All the gardens are surrounded with
wonderful hedges of myrtle, juniper or
box. If the gardens of the Alcazar
should be stripped of all but their
hedges, palm trees and magnolias,
they would still be most wonderful. In
some places walls about eight feet I'M
height separate the gardens, and
against these walls are trained orange.
and peach trees, with tangle of jas
mine and roses climbing among them
as they will. In fact, the flowers grow
in sucn careless and natural profusion
and there is seemingly so little cultiva-
ton that one might almost think the
hoe of gardener had not visited the
place for hundred years. This very
carelessneSs was one of the greatest
charms of the place and added to the
effect of age that chung to everything.
Modern gardeners would stand aghast
at such apparent neglect.
l recognized that the very lack of
modern care was artistic and suitable
and yet wondered, if the place were
mine, whether I could forbear the use
Of shears, trowel and hoe. The hedges
were trimmed. These, with some or
ange trees growing in a solid mass OF
green along some fifty feet Of palace
wall and reaching to the very root, ,
alone bore signs Of the gardeners
shears.
The flower beds were Of intricate
shapes, filed with a tangled mass of
flowers and always surrounded with
box. And such box! My heart sank
within me when thought Of the box
in my garden at home, where not even
q hundred mild winters and hundred
rainy summers could give growth like
the smallest of that at the Alcazar.
The bouquet that is considered in Sc
vile as model of beauty and elegance
was to our eyes most hideous thing.
In shape like a pyramid, about four
teen inches high, it was formed by fas-
tening magnolia bud to the top Of a
smooth, round stick and then winding
flowers tightly around the stick, each
succeeding row becoming larger, SO
That at the bottom the bouquet was
probably two feet around. It was a
frequent sight to see two men carrying
pole between them with from six to a
dozen of these bouquets swinging,
heads down, from the pole.-Scribner's
