vices at the low rate of 80 cents poem or three

garding the place the poem is to occupy in your
periodical and the way in which it is to be
brought out. Here is instance of this method
of assisting the editor:
please put this your front page with my
name in large type at the top the bottom of
the poem. Can send photograph of myself if de-
sired. Also testimonials to my good char
acter. Begin each verse of poem with a large
black letter. and don't forget name at bottom
or top. You might put May Blossom at the
top and then my own name at the bottom of
poem Other poems will be sent if this is &C

Another poet gives proof of his being a nat

your office or home is that he understands that
you want to employ somebody. although all the
time that he talks with you he tries to convince
you that he is physically unfit for the position.
While he pleads for work he lets his knees

Indeed nothing would more astonish him and

That's what feared. But II you don't want
to employ me. perhaps you can help me to get
to another gentleman that wants 4 man. He
lives up in Harlem. and al I want IS carfare to
go up there. and then home. in case I'm disap-
pointed again You see. I haven't a cent"
The natural impulse OF a person on hearing
such an appeal is 10 give the apparently starv-
ing man not only his carfare. but the money for
a half dozen meals. Most likely one gives him
good sized coin and turns him away kindly;
and so does the next victim whom he goes to
after departing, and whom he approaches as he
did you by saying that ne saw an advertisement
in the paper. AS matter OF fact he spends
precious few cents Of his beggings for carfare,
for he selects enough names within walking
distance of one another to be able to pick UP
from So to SO day.
There are as many women practising this sort
of imposture as men. Only the other day a
young wife who lives not far west OF up

next morning several applicants appeared and
among them two women who no more CORE
sponded to what the advertisement called for
than two of the witches of Macbeth One was
so old that she fairly tottered She lived way
downtown" and had spent her last penny
coming to see the madam" She thought she
might do" She thought that after she had
something to eat" that she would be strong
enough" to do the work. IN the mean time she
fairly collapsed from apparent weakness. The
other applicant said she would like to try
though she feared the indoor work would only
make her consumption worse. AS she talked
she coughed repeatedly. Both women got their
carfares and considerable besides.
On learning Of the character OF these visitors
and the stories they told the husband became
suspicious that his tender hearted wife had been
imposed on. He made inquiry accordingly at the
offices Of the Charity Organization Society.

He is the indirect result of the crusade against

Indeed, the beggar who would persist in his pro-

For the reason that he uses the Help Wanted

with his predecessor the street beggar. He does

THE TELEPHONE as 4 REFORMER.

Congressman Bingham, at a dinner of the

in the most optimistic vein.
'The world is growing better" he said
Daily it becomes cleaner. kinder and more up

Even the telephone has a tremendous reforming
influence.
Let me give you an example Of the surpris-
ing effect that the telephone exercises over our
morals
"A certain man, at breakfast one morning
said to his wife:
My dear, I'll not be home to dinner to-
night, and you had better sit up for me- as
shall be detained very late at the office post

Very Well the woman answered Before
l go to bed I'll say good night to you over the

Gently took her own life, leaving a
note in which she described life az
foolish struggle" adding the
sooner we get out of it the better. u
How can any one so regard life?
Ask the patriarch who sits amid
the falling shadows and recounte
the achievements of the well-spent
years; ask the matron whose de
Ginning days are made glad
by the companionship of virtuous
children and grandchildren; ask
those who, strong in faith, are de-
voting themselves to the worlds
work or ministering to the needs
of those who require assistance
ask any of these and the answer
will be that life instead of being
"a foolish struggle" is glorious
drama in which pain and pleasure;
Joy and sorrow are SO mixed that
the love of heavenly father
shows forth with increasing clear
ness as the acts and events sue
coed each other.
Only those can look upon life
as "a foolish struggle" who view
it from a selfish standpoint and
pursuing false ideals, are blind to
it's splendid possibilities and it's
great rewards Because SO much
depends upon ones conception of
life, upon ones ideals, it is the
duty of the parents, the school
teacher and the religious instruc-
tor to set before the people, and
especially the young, ideals that
inspire to noble endeavor.-Bry-

A SPECIAL CALL TO THE FARMERS
OF COBB COUNTY.

; Having been selected by our
order, 1.-THE Farmers Educational
and Cooperative Union of Amer
lea, to organize our fellow labor
ers in the great work of preparing
themselves to meet and combat
the grave problems which confront
them, the economic questions of
good government, taxation, edu-
cation, and that of graver and
broader Importance, the moral
uplifting of our order. We do
most earnestly appeal to every
tiller of the soil, be he renter,
cropper or land owner, to lay
aside for one day the cares of the
farm and unite with us in perfect
ing an organization in our county
which will reflect credit upon our
zeal and Intelligence. We will
gladly meet. with you IN your
school houses and address you on
the character, objects and aims of
the order. Make your appoint
ments, notify us of the day and
hour of your meeting, and we will
be with you at the appointed time
to discuss these questions of ut
most Importance to our prosperity
and happiness.
Every employment has it's or
ganization for the purpose CT ad-
vancing the interest of it's mem
bers, why should the farmers be
an exception? We are the great
burden-bearers; we produce the
wealth of the country, but, like
sheep led to the slaughter, we give
our feeces without protest that
others may be the benefciaries.
Ours is the great foundation stone
upon which all other occupations
rest. When this stone is firmly
planted the superstructure can be
adorned and embellished. but when
the foundation weakens all other
Industries must languish and die.
We live in an age when every ID
dustry moves by bounds and leaps.
The simplicity of our forefathers
has passed away, and in it's place
we have the mighty combinations,
the sOulless corporations and their
various "decoy ducks " Let us
come together, reason together,
and devise means to escape the
pitfalls and snares which beset
our pathway. Talk to your neigh
Dor. Get together in every neigh
borhood, perfect your organiza-
tions and be with us at 2 O'Clock
at the court house on Saturday,
the 10th inst Those unions which
are already organized will please
elect their delegates to the county
convention at their next regular
meeting, and send their creden-
tials to our secretary, /. r, Petree,
Route No 3, Marietta.
Delegates to the state conven-
ton, which meets in Atlanta On
the 18th of October, will be elect
ed at.our next county convention.
Give rs your earnest, vigorous
support. The enemies of our or,
der are strong and powerful, and
thoroughly equipped with the
''sinews of war; and it will re-
quire our best efforts to secure the
results we desire. We will cheer

explain the objects of the union.
