The South the
Land Of Young Men.

Leslie's Weekly.
At the close OF the Civil War, only
the few Jewish residents OF the south
had much money. The southern
soldier was not discharged when sent
home to convalescs from wounds and
disease. Uponrecovery, be was again
In the ranks. Re did not serve three
months, nine months, two years. He
served four years. The larger part
of the men who fought in the south
ern army carried lead or disease ever
alter. 1t was this impoverished, dis.
couraged, stricken people whom the
outsider distanced In the race for
money. Unused to commerce, the
southerner not only saw theproperty
represented by bis slaves pass utterly
away, and his lands ravaged and his
houses burned, but he saw men alien
to his region anticipate him in the
dawning opportunities OF tardily
returning prosperity. He became an
onlooker in the land his blood had
watered. Others gsrnered as result
OF his impoverishment.
But not so now. For the young
southerner is forging to the front 80
fast that 1t now is more likely that
he will crowd the strangers out than
that they will seriously rival him.
He has taken a leaf out OF the book
sfhis rivals, and by the tactics which
have been at least as great factor
in their success as any other is arriv-
ing at prosperity. The southern
tandem wedge is boring holes in the
lines of the opposition. The young
southern men, often mere boys OF
twenty-one and twenty-five, are run
ming the banks, the stores, the hotels.
They are exploiting great tracts OF
land, feeding vast forests into the
sawmills. They are the railroad men,
the promoters, the brokers. Oil
wells gush at their behest, towns rise
at their command. By men under
thirty the greater part Of the busi-
ness OF the south is now being done
The northerner who thinks Of emil
grating to the south, because he be
lieves he can surpass the natives In
business capacity will find ioemen
worthy OF his steel-keen, untiring,
and full OF the nerve and enthusiasm
OF youth. The south is the new part,
the young part, Of our domain. The
west has become staid and middle
aged. The young man has come to
the front in the south, and with him
the south comes into its own once
more.

An Odd Epitaph.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
"Franklin's epitaph, where hecom.
pared himself to an old book, is
known to all OF u.s." said an anti.
quarry. "Here is a copy OF a less fa-
nous epitaph Of a matchmaker, Geo.
Ritter, who compared himself to a
watch that had run down."
The man took out his notebook.
"George Ritter" he said, "lived in
New Hampshire, in the town OF New.
port. He died in 1922"
Then he read:
"Hsre lies in horizontal position,
the outside case OF George Ritter,
whose abiding place in that line was
an honor to his profession. Integ-
rity was his handspring, and prud-
ence the regulator OF all the actions
OF his life. Humane, generous and
liberal, his hands never stopped till
he had relieved distress. He never
went wrong, except when set q going
by people who did not know his key.
Even then he was easily set right
again. He had the art OF disposing
OF his time so we'll that his hours
glided by in Que continual round oil
pleasure and delight, till an unlucky
minute put an end to his existence.
He departed this life September Il,

GUSTAV KUNST.

Gustav Kunst, whose death is report
ed from Hamburg, had career that in
its way was a romance. From his ma
tive Germany he went to the far east
at a time when it was not as easy to
get there as it l., now, when it was to
commercial Russia what the far west
was to New York and our own east
fifty or sixty years ago. Conditions Of
fered golden opportunities for the cap
able and daring merchant. Kunst &
Albers proved themselves the men for
the time, they place and the occasion
They became one of the largest firms
doing business there.
Grown rich, Gustav Kunst felt the
longing for home. But in going home
TO the Fatherland he passed through
the tropics which cast their spell over
him. He could not shake it off, and for
more than a decade, he has spent half
of each year in his German home and
the other half either here in Honolulu
or in Samoa.

press stranded on a lee shore. The
committee charges gross carelessness
and incompetence" on the part of the
official who approved the roll affirms
Chief Clerk Whites finding that an ex-
cess of siXtysiX days was paid for
alleges general extravaganza"
The report as adopted by the super
visors does not charge gross careless
ness and incompetence, but says that
the payroll gave evidence that there
was gross carelessness OR incompetence
which means something quite different
Even if the report was as the Adver-
tser says lit would not be going farther
than the Advertiser went, for the es-
sence of the Advertisers charges was
graft, and that is worse than careless
ness or incompetence or both together.

A Serious Mistake.

It IS a serious thing to neglect your heart.
 The moment you detect any weakness or irregularity, such as short breath after exercise, palpitation, fluttering, weak or hungry spells, pain in breast, side or shoulder, or uneasiness when lying on left side, you should take Dr. Miles Heart Cure; it rarely ever fails to relieve all these symptoms.
 Ii not promptly restored, chronic heart disease soon de- velops, and then it only remains for some sudden strain to com pletely exhaust the heart.
 Thousands of hopeless cases have been cured, and if you do not try it, 1t will be the great est mistake of your life.
 .'when I began taking Dr.. Miles Remedies I was in very bad condi- . tion. I had stomach trouble, with severe distress after eating. My heart hurt me, and I had shortness of breath, palpitation. My pulse was irregular, and my feet, ankles and hands were swollen. Every month at regular periods had severe pain. I wrote Dr. Miles Medical Co.,, and they advised me to take pr. Miles Restorative Nervine and Heart Cure. I soon noticed an improvement, and I continued the medicine until I was completely cured. I feel like a diff ferent person. In fact I have not felt so well for 20 years
