Instances Where the Creators Have
 Destroyed Their Own Work.
 By no means unusual, says the New York Herald, was the destruction of the BorRlum angels in the Cathdral of St. John the Divine by the sculptor himself, while smarting under the criticism that there were no male an- gels shown.
 Gerome, the famous French sculptor, had been working for weeks on the clay model of a group representing spring It had almost reached compile ton when the artist became convinced that the treatment was wrong, and in a minute he had beaten the entir group into a shapeless mass of damp clay.
 Hogarth destroyed a picture which had been somewhat severely criticised by one of his friends. but the most spectacular destruction is related of Chartran. who for a time had a studio in New York. He was visited by tho husband of an American woman whose portrait he was painting. $5,000 being the agreed price. The husband. while admitting 1t to be a splendid work of art, declared that he could see ab- solutely no likeness to his wife in the pictured face. Chartran laid down his brush. and. taking out ss penknife. slit the canvass into ribbo p, after which he bowed his critic out. It af- terwards developed that the man was disparaginE the portrait merely in the hope of obtaining a rductfon In the price. s~:

 At the November meeting. Mrs. James E. Cobb. who has so efficiently and gracefully filled the Presidents chair since our organization, resigned, and Mrs. l.. W. Johnston was elected to succeed her.

The committee upon the entertainment for the benefit of the monument to the Confederate dead of Macon County reported $105 as the proceeds of the "Deestrick Skule,"
 The celebration of Lees birthday was discussed and a committee of ar engagements for that occasion appoint ed. The President also made a new committee for our local monument fund, and delegated to several ladies the duty of conducting an entertain ment for the Shiloh monument.

 Correct it. Any Disease Epidemic or Otherwise to Which He or She May be Exposed Is Sure to Result Seriously.

There are two ways to remove consti- patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, gripping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use a natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves a hea1thful influence behind it. Prickly Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nentiy cure the habit.

 Principal Hoffman of the Hiawatha Academy is a good story-teller, and he does not hesitate to tell one on himself. He confesses to being a little absent minded at times, especially in regard to his personal appearance. He was called to preach a sermon in a Ger man Church once. His wife sat direct ly in front of him and he noticed a frown on her face when he began. He felt for his tie; that was all right He looked at his shoes; nothing wrong with them Careful examination showed his clothes were all right; still the frown was there He did not give up, but kept up some hard thinking in connection with his discourse. Finally he found the reason for the frown-he was preaching in English.
