Dedication.
With favoring winds DER sunlit seas
We sailed for the Hesperides,
The land where the golden apples grow
But that. ali, that wastlong; ago
How far since then the ocean streams
Have swept us from that land Of dreams.
That land Of fiction and Of truth.
The lost Atlantis of our youth!
The tempest haunted Hebrides.
Where sea gulls scream and breakers
roar. ~ :
And wreck and seaweed line the shore?
Ultima Thule! Utmost Isle!
Here In thy harbors for awhile
We lower our sails, awhile we rest
From the unending. endless quest. /

A Commonplace Life.

A Commonplace Life.
"A commonplace life," we say. and we
sigh.
But why should we sigh as we say?
The commonplace sun in the common
place sky
Makes up the commonplace day.
The moon and the stars are commonplace
things,
The flower that blooms and the bird that
sings,
But sad were the world and dark our lot
II the flowers failed and the sun shonc
not
And God, who sees each separate soul.
Out of commonplace lives makes his
beautiful whole.

The AIlusion Classical.

The agricultural appropriation
bill was before the house. Repre-
sentative Rixey of Virginia was adj
yocating an increase from $4,000
to $4,000 for the experimental
farm owned by the government at
Arlington. He said the small
amount allowed was not enough to
produce substantial results.
Representative Wadsworth, in
charge Of the bill, pointed out that
$4,000 was appropriated for the
farm annually and that year after
year this mounted up and in time
would become formidable. "Rome
was not built in day" he added
in conclusion.
"No,' replied Mr.. Rixey; "Rome
was not built in "a day, and if Romu-
lus and Remus had been members of
the committee on agriculture Rome
never would have been built"

Refused His Own Medicine.

A noted surgeon of this city was
recently attacked by appendicitis.
This surgeon performed last year
500 operations and lost but two, but
when he was told that he had to be
operated upon he objected, although
the operators were also noted sur
geons and intimate friends.
"Not on your life" said the pa
tient. Urging was of no avail, and
finally remedies unaccompanied by
the knife were used.
The surgeon was sick some weeks,
but he finally recovered, and only re-

f1icted and for which he would not
undergo a siege at fellow profession

Queens Who Enjoy a Smoke.

The czarina of Russia smokes Gig
arettes now and then, and on her
desk there are always a couple Of
golden engraved cigarette cases, a
silver ash tray and malachitc
match holder. The queen of Italy
seldom smokes, but the mother of
the king of Spain consumes a large
number of Egyptian cigarettes ev-
cry day. The ex-Queen Natalie of
Servia owns magnifcently jeweled
smoking outfit and is very partial
to the habit.
The queen of Roumania, Carmen
Sylvia, also owns large number Of
gold and silver cigarette eases, but
she does not like the aroma of to-
baccO. The queen of Portugal, on
the other hand, is an ardent lover
of the weed, She prefers a special
brand of German tobacco, which is
sent to her at intervals from Ores
den. Her mother, the Countess of
Paris, occasionally INDUCES in a Ha-
vana cigarette or two. = Philadel-

How a Soldier Won a Wife.

There is romantic love story in
connection with General Sir Mi
chael Biddulph, the gentleman
usher Of the black rod" who died
recently in London. Sir Michael
was one of the few soldiers-out-

Time Savino Pie Crust.

One quart of flour, two teaspoon
fuls of salt, one cup of lard worked
in; put in a pail and keep cool. 1t
is easy then to make a custard or
any other pie by taking out just the
amount needed and wetting it with
cold water drop by drop and not a
drop too mach, as water toughens
pie crust. This is very convenient, as
it will keep almost indefinitely with
out water.

Antique Oak Stain.

Antique oak is made by rubbing
over with mixture of one part raw
lnseed OIL, two parts turpentine, a
little burnt sienna and enough lamp
black to color well. One applies this
with a sponge or wooden rag, and it
must be rubbed in and off as applied.
1t should be thin enough not to
show black except in the grain lines
that is to say, the hard ridges
ought not TO take it up. Antique
oak stain will not give good results
except when applied on genuine oak
wood, for softer woods will not take
it evenly.

THE STATE FAIR.

The State Fair offers S22 ,000.00 in
prizes this year. This is the largest
sum ever put up by State fair in
Georgia
President Hughes, of the State Agri-
cultural Society, and his Fair Commit
tee at first made the prize $1,000 for
the best county agricultural EXHIBIT
This was the same as last year.
But this did not satisfy Atlanta. She
wanted to beat everything ever offered
before and begged the fair committee to
raise the first prize at least to 81 500.
The committee thought that 81 800 was
enough, bat finally agreed to increase
it 10 81 800, as Atlanta was so anxious.
The prize for the second best country
exhibit will be 81 200; third $500; fourth
$500; fifty 500.
The next five best county exhibits
will get $500 apiece, and the next five
will receive $500 apiece. This makes 10
county prizes, but still Atlanta is not
satisfied and she offers 500 apiece to
every single one of the other 122 coun-
ties IN Georgia if they maize good ex-
hibits.
As the railroads haul the county eX-
bibits free to Atlanta, and as each
county is sure of getting ut least 500,
There is no reason why every county
should not make display All the
hay, cotton, grain and vegetables can
be sold in Atlanta after the fair at good
3 ces.
The best individual agricultural ex-
hlbit will receive $500; second best
S3p; Third 5000; fourth 800.
For the best one-horse farm exhibit,
the fair will pay $500; second 5000;
Third $3.50; fourth $50.

We have always looked on the bee
as monstrously oyerrated insect,
Gays the London Globe. At the back

a suspicion that his ostontatious
goodness was simply for purposes of

ported by the behavior Of a swarm
at Enfield, which for two solid days
sat drinking stout by the barrel at
the Nag's Head. On the morning
of the third day they staggered
away. Perhaps somebody will re-
wise that poem of DR. Watts:
How doth the little busy bee
Pursue his daily task!

And drinks it by the cask

First Safety Razor.

Safety razors were manufactured
in England sixty years ago. One
style, known as the guarded razor,
had a loose frame or guard of brass
added to the blade, its purpose be-
ing to prevent the edge from pene-

the instrument was used by infrm
or nervous persons. Today we have
a dozen or more different kinds of
safeties, and even boys are using
them for the Youthful encourage

Raising a Window.

He weighed about 200 pounds and
looked to be giant in strength.
AS he sat down in the seat of Del
aware and Hudson car a delicate
looking woman leaned over and ask
ed if he would be kind enough to
raise the window at her side. He
answered in the affirmative and
then began to tug. The window
never moved and the important man
got red in the face. He said some
thing about the car builders, and
then informed the young woman
that the window couldn't be raised.
He sat down and the crowd laughed.
A few minutes later the trainman,
who weighed about as much as a
jockey, entered the car, and the wo-
man appealed to him TO raise the
window. He reached in with one
hand and without apparent eXertion
sent the stubborn window up with d
bang. The crowd then looked at the
fat man and laughed again.-Al-
