CONGRESSMAN JIM GRIGGS.
Second District Member Again on
Campaign Committee.
From the Macon News.

From the Macon News,
Hon, James M. Griggs, congressman
from the Second district, has been
unanimously re elected by the Georgia
delegation in congress the member of
the congressional campaign committee
for Georgia. This is an honor worth
lily bestowed. AS chairman of the com
mittee two years ago Mr.. Griggs rem
dered splendid service. His able and
faithful work was highly appreciated
oY democrats everywhere. There is a
desire to place Mr.. Griggs at the head
OF the committee again, but owing to
the sickness of Mrs. Griggs, so we un-
derstand, MIR. Griggs may not be able
10 accept the craftsmanship, as it would
entail great labor upon him and pre-
vent him taking Mrs. Griggs on a
western trip during the coming sum-
iner, which is essential to her health.
~ IS very probable that Mr.. Griggs
will be re elected to congress this year
without oppos tion. He has made a
lathfu! representative and deserves
the endorsement.

A YEAR OF HORRORS.
CaIamities Predicted by AstrOlO-

The papers in Paris are commenting
gravely on the unanimity of the astrol-

of horrors for 1904, says the New York
World. A leading astrologer named
Jacob sizes up the situation AT follows,
and the others agree more or less as to
detail:
Here is the horoscope for 1904, made
at the moment the sun entered the sign

THE WISHBONE CRAZE.
Miss Roosevelt Starts New Fad
i'm Washington.

Miss Alice Roosevelt carried luck in
her hand on New Years day, and she
has launched still another fad in Wash
ington society, says the New York
kilograms correspondent.
Instead of flowers, fan, lorgnette or
dingle bangles on rope of pearls the
daughter of the president sported
silver wishbone from the time of her
appearance at the White House recep-
ton New Years morning till the young
peoples dinner at o'clock, with which
the gayeties of the day concluded.
The wishbone occasioned 4 vast
amount Of interest as we'll as amuse-
ment among Miss Roosevelt's friends.
1t was the one New Years gift that
especially appealed to the original
young girl, and she explained, laugh
ingly, that it was to bring her luck
throughout the year. Last spring Miss
Roosevelt set the style of carrying a
gold tipped cane, and the girls of Wash
ington adopted it without a murmur,
appearing on the street and at bazaars
with airy. fairy sticks that quite daz-
zled the youth of Washington. Now
the wishbone craze has set in and
Washington jewellers have booked a
lot of orders for wishbones Of silver,
gold and jewel studded platinum.
One attache of legation begged to ex-
change a gorgeous diamond order that
decorated his chest for Miss Roosevelt's
wishbone New Years morning, but the
latter declared she would not part with
her lucky charm for the pink pearl
atop of the Chinese minister's cap.
And still another man-this time an
to barter his gold set
rabbits foot for the much coveted
wishboue Miss Roosevelt declared that
rabbits feet could not be mentioned in
the same breath with wfShbones, so
now the college man and the poker
man and the all around sporty man
will carry the rabbits feet back to the
graveyard at the dark Of the moon.
bury them deep and turn up at the
club with wishbones in their pockets.
Miss Roosevelt's word is law in
Washington society, and now that she
has started the wishbone fad it is
bound to boom.

it is typical enough to be true except

cried FOUL but Roosevelt smiled one Of

When every cloud that lowered

When things are not "congested,"
And each crop killers dead;

When every hostile raider
Has taken to his hole,
And every short side trader
Has climbed the nearest pole:
When every strike is settled,
And Joseph" gets his crown,

When all the wheat's transported,
And all the crops are moved;

And all false tales disproved:
When every bear" is banished
Into some desert grim,
And each canard has vanished
In darkness after him;
When every loan is floated,
When every bond is sold.
And every scheme promoted

When stocks have reached a level
From which they cannot fall,
And prophecies of evil
Are turned toward the wall;
When every corners busted
And bank reserves are high,
