schiIler's Mean REVENGE.

When Schiller was a boy at school,
he was tormented by a Swiss tutor
named Kuplg, who came from the
Grisons canton. Years later, when
the poet wrote The Robbers" he re-
venged himself on Kuplig and the
Grisons by introducing this little
speech: ITO be a scamp you must
have genius. Moreover, a special eli
mate is needed for the growth Of
scamps, and to prove this | recon-
mend you to visit the Grisons canton.
II is the veritable Athens of modern
rascality." In the later editions Of
The Robbers" this quaint pit of spleen
does not appear. 1t is suggested that
Schiller was not moved to expunge
it by any remorseful feeling, but by a
very forcible protest from the resi-
dents CT the abused canton against
this calumny.

lynched Seven Men.

A special from Watkinsville, Ga,
says six negroes and one white man
were lynched there Tuesday night by
mob OF white men, many OF whom
were supposed TO be citizens of that
place and Oconee county. The mob
formed about midnight, marched to
the Jail and compelled the jailer to
deliver the keys to the prison. The
Following prisoners. all negroes, were
taken from their cells:
Lewis Robertson, Richardson Rob-
ertson, Sandy" Price, Claude Elder.
Ben Harris, Joe" Patterson and
Jim" Yearly. Lon Aycock. white
man, was also taken from his cell by
the mob. The jailer was compelled
TO accompany the mob and its victims
TO the scene of the lynching, which
was but 200 yards from the center of
the town. The eight prisoners were
marched to a corner lot within 200
yards OF the Jail and In the heart of
the town. They were bound TO fence
with their hands tied behind them.
At n command by the leader, the
mob stepped back few PAGES, took
deliberate aim and fired a volley from
rifles, shotguns and pistols into the
line OF prisoners. Every man in front
OF the mob fell at the first volley
An examination by the jailer showed
that seven of the men had been rid
died by bullets, but Patterson was
found TO be only slightly injured. Pat
terson's escape from death was as by
a miracle, for the fence post to which
he had been bound was torn to frag-
ments by the bullets.
Seven bodies hung in cluster from
the crossbar of a telegraph pole, sway
ing in the wind, greeted the first ar
rivals in the town Thursday, the lynch
Ing being completed before daylight
The gruesome evidence Of popular
vengeance was left to strike terror
into the lawless negro element which
the whites of Watkinsvllle blame for
the series Of crimes the lynching was
designed to end

Talents and Confidence.

A single-talent man. supported by
great self-confdence, will achieve
more than a ten-talent man who does
not believe in himself. The mind can
not act with vigor in the presence Of
doubt A wavering mind makes q
wavering execution. There must be
certainty, confidence and assurance, or
there can be no efficiency. An unedu-
Gated man who believes in himself.
and who has faith that he can do the
thing he undertakes, often puts to
shame the average college-bred man,
whose overculture and wider outlook
have sometimes bred increased sensi-
tiveness and a lessening of self-conf-
dence. whose decision has been weak
ened by constant weighing of conflict
ing theories and whose prejudices are
always open to conviction.-Success.

THE MONTHLY TRIAL
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING

A Woman Tells How She Hos Become Wen

Due TO Irregular Functions.

The fact that one woman is bright

HIS JUDGMENT AT FAULT.
One Instance Where Balzac Failed as
GrapholoaIst.

II there was one thing upon which
Balzac fiattered himself more than
another II was his skill In reading
character from handwriting.
But he made a sad mistake on one
occasion. A lady brought him an ex-
tract from the exercise book OF a ~
year-old schoolboy. and asked him for
an opinion as to the youngsters char
acter and prospects. Balzac inquired
whether the child was her own. An.
swered in the negative, he examined
the exercise carefully and delivered
his Judgmnt.
Madame" he said, this child is
thick-headed and frivolous. He will
never come to any good. II he were
my child | would take him from school
and put him to the plow."
Then IL was explained to the novel
list that the specimen on which he had
pronounced SO severely was one Of
HIS own which had been discovered
hidden away between the leaves OF an
old lesson book.
