phone, I'll just let you into the secret.
 You see, this corner is at the inter
 section of two very important streets;
 I might even say it is at the junction of the two great arteries Of the city-that
 which connects the eastern and the western sections, and that which forms
 the main highway of travel north and
 south. Car lines which either pass or
 transfer to all of the theatres In town
 go by this door. There are several ho-
 tels within walking distance. And the
 fashion of the whole city gets in this
 vicinity with no great infrequency. So the upshot of it all is that great many people have to stand on this corner
 while waiting for a change of cars, and many various important places. Well, these people will look up at that clock which is ten minutes earlier than as- tronomical time. And a good percen- Itage of them will bethink them of something which they want to pur- chase. To this end not only the proper tobacco, toilet articles, and other things
 which humanity find frequent need for are displayed to advantage in these

 A man walked into a drug store, which stands on a busy corner, the other day. watch in hand. He ap- preached the proprietor with that smile which all men wear who find that in some little detail they excel their fel- lows.
 Say, Doe,' said the man, in- sinuatingly, what's the matter with your time? I've watched that clock in your window for week and it has been ten minutes slow every day dur ing that period.''
 "Sh-h-h-h." cautioned the drugstore man; and like St. Nick, in "The Night Before Christmas" he laid his index boyfinger 'astride of his nose. My boy. that's only one of the tricks of the trade.'
 "I don't tumble,'' rejoined the other, hopelessly.
 Well, I didn't expect you would, ' smiled the pharmacist; you're no wiser than the rest of humanity; and If humanity, or that large portion of it which passes this corner, tumbled to this little dodge of trade it would sim ply be no good. But people don't catch on, and so it works to perfection. Be- ing as you're friend of the family, and not likely to stand on the front steps and shout it through mega

 braska to slavery caused great dissat- isfaction in the neighborheod of Ripon, land on March 20, 1854. there was a meeting of citizens at Ripon to pro-
 test against existing conditions. Men of all parties were present at the meet ling and strong anti-slavery resolutions were adopted. After a fruitless discus sion as to an appropriate name for the club MT. Sanders moved that it be named the Republican party, and this motion was adopted unanimously. The resolutions were sent to Horace Greeley,
 who published them in a full account of the meeting in the New York Tribune.

HER.
 William Gillette was seeking a young girl with a Southern accent to play 'Esmeralda," which he had dramatized with the author of the story. Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett. Annie Russell answered an advertisement She was in short dresses, with her hair down her back, and Is years old.
 Now, my little girl, run back to your good mother and your Sunday-school lesson" said the dramatist, kindly. The stage is not for such as you. Run along, my dear.''
 The little girl obeyed dutifully, but with no intent of accepting the dis missal as final. At the place where she was boarding was an actress who starred in the small towns in East Lynne and from her Annie Russell borrowed an elaborate stage gown with a long train, which she plastered with jeweIry, also borrowed; she put on high heeled shoes and piled her hair on top Iof her head. Thus arrayed, the again applied to MT. Gillette for the position. He talked with her without suspicion that he had seen her before, and later he said to the manager:
 Well, think that girl might do. Of course we can easily make her look younger, and some good fairy will have to teach her how to dress. But she is certainly the most intelligent looking lapplicant we have had"

MARRIED SIX ANIMALS.

There is pleasing story of Chero-
 kee Indian woman who has done what
 she could. She has been married six
 times. and has always had an animal
 name. When she was a girl she was
 known as Miss Mollie Panther. She married an Indian named Coon, and
 when that gentleman was transferred
 Ito the happy hunting grounds she soon became Mrs. Fox. The Fox did not last
 long, and when he entered the last chase the widow married a mild placid
 man named Mule. After a period of mourning the widow again entered the
 realms of matrimonial bliss and became
 Mrs. Wols. and when MT. Wolf was trapped by death she became the wife |of man named Tiger, and when MT. ITiger died she married MT. Rabbit for a change.
 Doubtless Mrs. Coon Fox Mule Wolf Tiger Rabbit found her husbands quite as animal as their names. And doubt less there are white women who, hav- ing married several men, would be will ing to testify that, though hypocritical- ly and pleasantly named, they were really animals. We don't know how the Indian lady came to be named Panther to start with, for of course there couldn't have been anything in her bright -Alfaretta or sweet -Minne- haha nature to justify giving her such a name.

At a recent exhibition in Dresden there was photograph shown which is said to be the largest one ever taken. This gigantic picture measures 30 feet 8 inches by feet Il inches. It repre- sents the Bay of Naples and was taken from castle San Marine, the highest point behind Naples, from which the eye commands the whole city and bay as far as Mount Vesuvius and Capri. In order to secure as extensive a pano- rama as possible, six different views on as many plates, measuring S.1x10.5 inches, were first taken. From these six plates which were designed with a view of being connected to one another in a continuous series. six enlargements, 4 feet Il inches by 6 feet inches in size, were prepared by means of an ap- paratus with lens one foot in dia- meter. The enlargements were made directly on the silver bromide paper.

Her meek and humble husband. who was in court, looked much distressed. At last, at one of Mr. sweeney's innocent ques- tions, the lady vindictively cried: MT. Lawyer, you needn't think you can catch me; no, sir. you can't catch me. :" With his most pleasing smile, MT. Sweeney responded: Madam, I have not the slightest desire to catch you, and your husband looks to me as if he was sorry he had succeeded

Congressman Broussard of Louisiana is, as his name indicates, of French de- scent. He never spoke English until he went to Georgetown university. Tt is curious" says MT. Broussard, "how the French language has remained the dominant tongue in my part of the country. Brought there by Arcadians of Nova Scotia in the eighteenth cen- tury, it prevails to-day, and I believe always will Curiously enough, you will find plenty of men in my district with such unmistakably English names as Jones and Hayes who can't read, speak or write word of English. Still funnier is the talk of the black people Their negro French would be unintelli- gibIe in Paris, and yet it is the softest, sweetest, most musical speech I ever heard from human lips.

Rev. DR.. Mumford, who is i'll in the

medicine which is being administered
to him by the surgeons at the institu-

DAWSON, GA, July 18TH, 1904
WILLIAM R. HEARST-DEMOCRA1'

The democratic party has one man
in it whom it should feel proud 10
claim as its own. That man is William
r. Hearst of New York.
His services to the party 10 the past
cannot be overestimated. He has
opened his papers and his purse to
the cause he espouses and has con-
tributed as much perhaps to the party
as any individual in it. That his 10y
atty in the future will be proven can
not be questioned. Is is but rational
to presume that he must suffer some
sense of disappointment over the TACT
that the convention did not see lit to
name him as it's candidate for presl'
dent. but if there is Disappointment,
there is no bitterness-his loyalty re-
mains, and he stands ready to support
the man whom the convention did
name, sincerely and vigorously.
The following telegram sent by him
to Judge Parker speaks volumes:
Chicago, July 9
Judge Alton B. Parker, EsOpus, N. Y :.
congratulate you upon your nom'-
nation and upon the expression OF
democratic principles in the platform
on which you stand.
hope and believe that battling Tor
the people and for such principles you
will lead the democracy TO victory.
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.
1t - the message of man with big
heart and big brain and big will.
There is no striving for effect, no
transparent fattery, no blatant gush.
1t rings with the note OF sincerity.
Hearst may have been defeated as an
aspirant for the nomination but he is
victorious in his utter disregard of
personal Disappointment and in his
unequivocal declaration of support and
loyalty.

EFFECTS OF ALTITUDE.
Experiences of Members of the British
Tibet Expedition.

The British Tibet expedition, which
has required the existence of troops at
attitudes of from 10000 to 10, 700 feet
above sea level, has furnished num-
her of instances Of the effect of high
elevation on life and habits, says Har-
per's Weekly. There has been consld-
cradle mountain sickness among the
men. who were quite unused to such
attitudes, and also a large amount OF
indigestion due to undercooked food.
At elevations of $4,000 feet water
boiIs at about $50 degrees F., and
consequently the ordinary amount or
cooking is quite inadequate. At such
a height it is almost impossible to boil
rice properly, while of the several kinds
of dial or ordinary red lentil of India
there is only one variety that can be
cooked at heights over 10000 feet
For such elevations there should have
been supplied cooking vessels with air
tight lids provided with safety valves
which would blow off at a pressure OF
fifteen po@nds to the square inch, or
approximately that Of the atmosphere
at sea level Another effect of the altl-
tude and temperature was the difficulty
in the operation Of the magazines OF the
rifles and the mechanism Of the Maxim
guns on account of the cOngealing of
the oil, which lost its lubricattng prop

THE TICKET THAT WILL WIN.

Parker and Davis.
This is the presidential and vice
presidential ticket which the demo
cratic national convention has given
to the party, and these two men are
the candidates whom the party will
very probably give to the country as a
president aud ce-president.
While Alton 3. Parker has not &C.
cupied as much of the political stage
as some men in the party, he is be-
lieved to be man of unquestioned in
tegrity and sound principles. He
tands as thorough opposite to
Roosevelt. Here is matched deliber-
ateness with impetuousness, and
eveness against strenuosity, balanced
action with bairbrained follies.
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia,
the candidate for vice president, is a
man who has long stood high in the
counsels of his party and the esteem
of his fellows. He is statesman OF
undoubted ability and principles, and
will make good running mate with
the New Yorker.
The fight will be made this year b.
an harmonious and aggressive democ-
racy, and there is every reason to be
lieve that for it, after the battle, will
wave the palms. The convention's
choice meets with the commentator
of all factions, which name now has no
place in the democratic party.
Parker and Davis versus Roosevelt
and Fairbanks, democratic principles
against republican graft, democratic
victory over republican defeat!
