From the remOteSt ages there nave
existed in some form those who posed
as weather prophets. Primitive men
lad various weather signs and prog
nostics: the red man in his savage
state had his rain doctor; later
came the almanac with its forecasts
OF the weather for the coming seasons,
but it is comparatively recent date
that meteorology was given place
among the true sciences, and resu-
lar weather service organized for IA
benefit of the public.
Meteorology being one Of the young
er sciences is the object of much spec
ulation on the part of those who dupe
the public into the belief that they
possess the key to the book OF nature,
and are therefore capable of penetrat-

Little Jack and Jill are starting out

Little Jill has refractory eurls

little gingham dres is staicned and

laundered, but more than ordinary

opening day.
Little Jack is pinched as to collar
and shoes. Little Jack has been as
free as a colt unbrOken to harness all
of the long summer days. The shoes
that he kicked off in June time are
too small now in September The
brave efforts of little Jack to get his
feet into them were all unavailing,
so hat a new par had to be purchased
and these have stiff2ess about them
that is meeEiy borne as a part Of the
general discomfort Of starting back to
school.
There lives no man so old or forget
Nardness, the stiffness, the general
prevailing atmosphere of repression
and contraction that belonged to the
day of starting back to school. The
misery of it was a little less than that
OF the very first day of going to school
the very first day that another eye
than that of his mother watched over
him all day and ordered his way OF
going-how much less kind than his
mothers that eye seemed to his over
wrought Imagination! This man re-

toss their curls and spread their
skirts, but the boys-they were unre-
generate creatures at best, who were
only delivered from the rod as often
as they were because of the benevo.
lence of the teacher.
There is much individuality about
little Jack and Jill. The whole COM
pany of little Jacks and Jills cannot
be punched together and labele0

found with toilets upon the opening
day of school. Like little soldie-s
awaiting the word of command from
captain or general, they are alert. The
teacher to them is a wonder person.

down the long street OF life. It is the
bortal Of all that is to be hencefOrtfl

schoolroom for the first time littic
Jack Or Jill leave for the first time
the mother wing. It is the first step
along the way taken without the moth

begin to surprise the watching mother
by their wisdom. The little mind un-
folding will amaze her, and the grasp
of little Jack or Jill of the reason why
two and two make four will cause her
to catch them up and exclaim breath
lessly, Now, | have boy no longer.
See how clever is my little Jack! And
little Jill weaves lamp mats of colored
paper so cleverly and l know she will
be a scuptress by the way she models
birds nests from clay. And, see, lit

Oh, it isn't kind to show the least
sign of impatience when little Jack

threshold of the schoolroom. Better
it is to tuck little Jacks hand in yours
and take him we'll within before leav-
ing him. Do not give him one OF
those cruel little shoves and bid him
not to be SO baby1sh.
Once we'll within, little Jack and

The Ogden snacial.


 The Southern Railway made a spien- did record with the special train pro- vided for Robert c. ogden, the million aire and philanthropist, of New York. President of the Conference for Educa- tion In the South, on the trip through the South. Only one delay on the schedule made out before the trip was started took place, and that was not the fault of the railroad company. The special train consists of nine sleeping and dining cars. a very heavy train. The run from here to Atlanta began at 12:30 this morning and the trip was made in five hours and a half. No ef- fort was made to make quick time. The conference which came to a close last night Is still the subject of much comment. That the meeting was q success is not to be denied. The gen. eral theme of the conference was local taxation and the educators throughout the South who participated in the con- ference. are expected to take up the work with vigor and continue the ex- ample set. Almost all of the visitors to the conference have gone to their re- spective homes. The public schools of Birmingham took up again today the teachers having gotteH back to work. There, was consensus of opinion in the conference that teachers must be paid better. The conference will bring about much good. it is believed, and will cause better feelings between the North and South.

Rough Experience of E. c. P. Ward, of K , Girard, Kansas, a Veteran of
 Co. H, 55th Indiana.
 A reporter who was seeking for MT. Ward to- get his confirmation of a statement that had been made concern ing him by & fellow -townsman, found stalwart carpenter engaged in put house. In response to an inquiry for MT. Ward, the big workman turned and revealed a face ruddy with health and full of strength and good nature. Then he dropped nimbly to a seat on tho window bench. and said:
 "Yes, I owe my recovery to Dr. Will lianns' Pink Pills and I am always glad to tell the story for the sake of others. In fact think there are only two kinds of medicine worth buying-at least, only two kinds that ever did me any good--and one of them is pr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
 You see. 1t was this way: was at my work in 1892 when l felt as If I had been struck on my head by sud- den blow My heart seemed to stop and the doctor said 1t missed every other beat. I went through the battle of Richmond, Kentucky. but I never had been through anything like this before. I thought surely I was going to pass in my checks this time.
 After that I had very trying dizzy spells. l had to give up work alto- gether and spend every other day in bed. For two months I did not leave the house. The doctor could not set me on my feet again. I could not com centrate my eyes on any object; I was in a state of extreme nervousness all the time. I would lie awake at night from nine o'clock until daylight. My circulation was bad and my feet al- ways cold. The doctor admitted that his medicine was not doing me bi, of good.
 Then I decided to try pr. Williams Pink Pills, about which I had read in an advertisement. After three or four days use I realized that they were helping me. I began to take them in January, 1893. By the middle of Feb ruary was out and in March resum- ed work as usual. I kept on taking the pills for about year. In fact even yet, whenever I feel particularly worn out, take box and then quit I sleep without difficulty. my dizziness has never returned, and my feet are always warm when they should be- You may say that thing Dr.. Williams Pink Pills can't be beat for nervous ness and difficulties of the blood" They are sold by all druggists throughout the world. 3Ss t4tef
