The Artist Who Did Not Despa,r.

The great mistake that people make when they try in cowardly way to avoid disappointment by never hoping is that they identify disappointment with despair. It Is not the same thing at all with a reasonable and courage ous person.
 A now popular artist. then an un- known man. was painting a picture for the Royal Academy. He was certain 1t would be a success, and he did not dis guise his hopes respecting 1t. It was rejected. A brother artist of tho dis nal type suggested that two of his friends should Ego round" to see the unfortunate man.
 He is sure to be so miserable. He has indulged in such foolish anticipa- tions." said the other artist.
 Instead of finding him so they dis covered him busily occupied in schem- ing a fresh picture of which he had greater hopes than he had indulged of the other. His hopes were realized, too.

The Remarkably Colony of Ex-COnfed-
 crates in Honduras.
 Washington Star.
 NO more remarkable colony of American exiles can be found any where than Toledo settlement in Brit ish Honduras" said R. F. Jackson of New Orleans. Tt is a bit of Louis- iana in tropic settlement preserved to show us what the good old Creole days were like. There the stately and punctilious life of the vanquished Southern aristocracy Is still found with it's ceremonious hospitality, its finespun sticking for the point of hon. or, it's pride of ancestry and It's patri- archiaI relations between master and servant. For more than forty years time has stood still, leaving the exiles untouched by modern progressive ideas. and making their home today the truest picture to be found any where of life and manners in the old South 'befo' de wah.'
 "The close of the civil war found many of the planters of the cotton States in sore straits. Their slaves had been set free, their crops and livestock seized by friend or foe, their homes burned or despoiled and their planta- tions turned into a battle ground for contending armies. As result con siderable number of the most promi- nent families of the South gathered together such of their portable proper ty as had yet escaped the general wreck and emigrated.
 Some of these went to Argentine, settling near Buenos Ayres, where the survivors and their descendants are to- day objects of charity. Misfortune followed them to their new home. and they are now poorer than the poorest of the despised white trash of the States they abandoned. Others went to Canada and a considerable number to Cuba and others to the West In dies; a few to Mexico and Brazil and fourteen families to British Honduras Of these fourteen families all were from the neighborhood of New Orleans.

Germ DiSeaCeS.

Thees are the known germ diseases; all due to germs or to the potsons which germs create. These are the diseases to which medicine does not ap- ply, for drugs cannot kill inside germs.
 All that medicine can do for these troubles is to act as tonic, aiding Nature to overcome the germs. But those results are indirect and uncertain, depending on the patients condition A cure is always doubtful when drugs are used, and some of these diseases mdeicine never cures.
 Liauozone has amply proved its power to destroy the cause of these troubles. Every disease in this list has been cured with 1t SO often that we have come to believe that results are almost inevitable. Our faith in the product Is so great that in any of these diseases-no matter how dificult-we gladly send to every patient who asks 1t. a guarantee. covering two months test.

The Ravase of Politics and Death.


 New York Evening Post. April 22.
 The Senate has lost this year, in the one case by the turn of politics, in the other by death. two members of the type in some ways the most valu- able in the work of legislation, and certainly the hardest to replace. Cock rell,the Democrat. and Platt, of Com necticut, the Republican, who died yesterday, were alike distinguished for ripe experience, extraordinary knowl- edge of the details of lawmaking, in- tense application to small as well as great tasks, and Judgment and probity in which their colleagues placed abso- lute reliance. The, service of men of this type Is of 6 kind of which the casual observer of legislation finds it hard to appreciate. but to the value of which fellow-workers always give generous testimony. It was not until late in his career that Orville H. Platt began to be recognized as one of the the attaching of his name to the most important piece of Cuban Legislation made him better known to the country at large than ever before. He was al- ways quick to dispute on the floor of the Senate any insinuation that the new Cuban Republic was not in every sense an independent nation. while as the representative of 0 tobacco grow ing state, his advocacy of Cuban re- ciprocity showed a breadth of view too rarely seen when sound statesman ship and parochial interests conflict.

Chapter Report-Athens.

The annual election of the John Wade Reyes Chapter was held March 21, with the following result :
 Regent, Mrs. Mary Malone Hoffman.
 Vice Regent Miss Mary E. Fletcher.
 Secretary Miss Annie Davis Richard son.
 Treasurer, Mrs. Laura c. Horton.
 Historian. Mrs. Edward P. Garrett.
 Registrar, Miss Elizabeth Wood.
 The work of this chapter during the past year has been of uncommon merit. The program for the seasons study was most cleverly arranged by the chapter historian, who showed both skill and Judgment in catering to the fine lit- erary taste of the members. Mrs. Me C1ellan, the present State Vice Regent, was the first regent of this very wide awake chapter and during her incum- bency set an example her successors have not been slow to follow. Her devotion and good management were continued by Mrs. Peebles and there is no doubt that under the leadership of Mrs Hoffman, the John Wade Reyes Chapter in the coming year will win fresh laurels as the greatest social as well as patriotic feature in the pleas ant and progressive city of Athens.

She has most generously declared that the past Is forgotten and that she is the President General of the National Society whose success and prosperity are the dearest wishes of her heart. Her friends re- joice at the opportunity given her to display her freedom from all narrow ness of spirit, as well as the assurance that under her judicious management, the National Society will continue its prosperous and successful career.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, however, cured me within four months. Since that time have had occasion to recommend it to a number of patients suffering from all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it Is considered unprofessional to rec ommend patent medicine, I can honestly recommend Lydia E.

To the city of New York belongs the honor of instituting, in an informal manner it Is true. the custom of cele- brating the twenty-second of Febru- ary. In 1878, the year of the treaty of peace and the withdrawal of the Brit ish troops from our shores, a number of gentlemen who cherished deep sen- timent sof gratitude toward the suc- cessful and illustrious commander of the American army, met in New York, the evening of his anniversary, to tes- tify in the masculine fashion of that period their sense of the great bless ing bestowed by Providence upon man. kind in general and the American na- tion in particular in the birth of the heroic Virginian. The preparations made for the occasion were truly in- formal, yet they were such as appealed to the taste as well as the patriotism of the participants. One had written an ode: another not to be outdone, brought a list of toasts, perhaps more agreeable to the sentiments of the company than the poem. We have no reason to think that fault was found with either offering. On the contrary before the patriots went reeling and singing home, all had agreed to repeat the celebration, and to make their ob- servance of the day a yearly custom. Iney were as ROOu dS lnelT WOTui anu so infectious is example, that though no legislative action was taken in set ting the day apart as a holiday, the habit appealed to the people and time made the celebration general. It Is pleasant to know that this observance had taken deep root in tho national life before Washington's death; that he experienced the qualification of knowing the hold he had upon the af- fections of the common people. For the demonstrations were not confined to those who could write verses or compose toasts, or to the gentlemen who could afford a banquet at what was then styled "a tavern But in remote villages and scattered settle ments, where neighbors could exchange greetings and compare opinions. there the pressing cares and labors of the day were gladly put aside and few hours given to joy and festivity. The fisherman forgot his nets. the work man laid aside his tools. the house. wife left her needle in her work. the shopkeeper put up the shutters of his window. The children, too, rejoiced that their country had a Father, for on that day the master kept no school. The neighbors congregated together at assemblies called "barbecues,' a form of rural entertainment continued until the civil war; and deplored as obsolete by those whose regretful memory dates back to the good old times" to the days when cooking stoves were un- known and meat was roasted and not baked.

and continuance testified to the rivalry in loyalty of adjacent communities. Tn the towne the rejoicing assumed a more sophisticated if not more enthus- iastic form. The day was ushered In by be.l ringing and cannonading: the early dinners were scenes of tire1ess speechmaking and deep potations; the evening was gay with balls and the theatres took care to bring out a patriotic play with plenty of noble sentiments and heroic incidents; the walls and boxes were bright with flags. and embiems and transparencies. For weeks the papers were full of the cele- brations in different cities and towns. But 1t was at the ''taverns." the in- spfring scenes of eloquence and fervor, where rejoicing and gladness held full sway, and where the local patriots did themselves and the Father of his Country full justice. It was here that literary talent appeared and found that rapturous appreciation which was per haps lacking at the domestic fireside. The Federalists on these occasions were fond of poetry and the sentiment of the country was expressed in the following verses taken from a poem read. with great applause we may be sure, on one of these occasions, at "the tavern" and brought out later by a newspaper of the day:
 "Now see the patriot hero rise,
 Amidst the horrid din of arms. His country's dearest rights to prize.
 And sacred Freedom keep from
 harm.
 Chorus
 Hail Columbia! Columbia. hail the
 morn
 
 A Washington to ySu was born!
 Firm as the unbroken oak he stands, And braves the dangers of the fight;
 The guardian angel of these lands, And friend to man in all his right"
 How "old timey" 1t all Is, and how dear, and how precious! As must be everything indicative of the American love of true greatness and goodness. As the friend to man. Washington had taken his position In the history of the world and the hearts of the American people, and there, though more than a century has passed since those lines were written. he remains; firm as the unbroken oak he stands;" deep rooted in the fruitful soil of lib- erty and love!

Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 5B Chester Avenue, Newark. N.

 Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source.
 Mrs, Pohlman writes: ~

to lay or the new town of Cahaba. Huntsville was designated temporary capital until suitable buildings could be erected at Cahaba- Cahaba became the seat of government 1920. and the sec- ond General Assembly of the State held it's session there: in the same year. November sth, Governor Bibb was iflaugurated. His message to the Assembly called attention to the lio- eral land grants by Congress for pur- poses of education and internal inn provement. He reported that the new capital, Cahaba, had been laid off and that from the sale of lots over one hun dred and twenty-three thousand dol lars had been obtained; one-fourth of this sum was to be used in building temporary State House. The As- sembly to complete the executive de- partment already headed by the Gov ernor, elected Thomas Rodgers Secre-
 tary of the State, Samuel Pickens Comptroller of Accounts, and Jack F. Ross Treasurer. At this time travel and transportation were very slow, but in 1921 the first seamboat passed up the Mobile and Alabama Rivers to Cahaba and Montgomery. making in four days a trip which barges took twenty or thirty days.
 For several years after Cahaba was made Capital of the State the popula- LlUu inCTedSeu AS te "oe ~ cated on the Alabama River at the mouth of the Cahaba it was more &C., cessible than any other point to the counties that had been organized. Ca- haba therefore had for two or three years bright prospects of soon becom- ing the largest city of Middle Alabama There was one drawback to its suc- cess. During the year 1921 when there was much sickness along the rivers of the State, caused by overfiows late in the spring the citizens of the newly created capital in order to show their confidence in the healthfulness of the place refused to leave town for a few weeks while the malarial epidemic was at it's worst The result was, the mortality was not less than 12 per cent of the entire population of the town" and 1t was suggested that the capital be moved.
 During the year 1924 the venerable General Cafayete, visited Alabama, coming by way of Georgia and through the Creek country to Cahaba, the capi- tai of the State, passing through Montgomery. He was met on the Chattahoochee by a large delegation of whites and Indians, and treated with great honor and many demon strations of affections everywhere on his journey through the State. From Cahaba he went down the river to Mobile.
