Mother Was Scarcely Suited With

Mother Was Scarcely Suited With
What She Could Learn of
Sororities.
II was Margaret Nichols first year
n city high school. She was fine
student, a pretty girl, with plenty of
money and of an excellent family. As
matter of c0urse-under these cir
sunstances-all the sororitie 'rushe'f
her. AS another matter of course
Margaret being human-her head was
slightly turned by the numerous
spreads given in her honor, and her
spirit sorely tried by the fact that her
conservative mother refused to let her
be pledged to any sorority until she
should have taken time to learn some
thing about them ALL
One afternoon, as Margaret closed
the door behind trio of girls who had
been visiting her in the parlor, she
turned back into the little sitting-room,
and was surprised to find her mother
sewing there.
"why, mother, were you here all the
time? thought you had gone out, and
those girls came almost purposely TO
talk to you about letting me 90 Alpha

them; they're so pretty and sweet.
| Really, mother, it's considered a big
hohor at school to make Alpha Kappa
Beta If you heard what these girls
said. you must have noticed that they
didu't get off one mean speech about
anybody. You know that was what you
objected to in the Psi Gamma Rho
girls when they rushed me--they talk
ed so about the other sororities."
Before she answered. Mrs. Nicholas
drew an envelope from her work-basket
and began studying some notes on the
back OF it.
Il can't judge these girls without an
interpreter" she said. What did they
mean when they said 1t was the policy
of the Alpha Kaps never to slam?"
why, never to run any one down,
of coursew
..Oh, And one of them said 1t wasn't
their way to go round giving every
body who wasn't an Alpha Kap rep
for fair. What's that?"
"well. rep is reputation, and for
fair means to beat the band'-worst
kind of reputation, you know"
81 see. And did l hear them say
that girl who did Il certain thing at
one of their sororities after having
been put wise, would simply be canned
| fierce?"
"Y-ycs." Margaret laughed nervous
ly.
And that means"
"Oh. that IL she did 1t after being
warned, she'd be put out, or given a
hard lecture, don't you know? But,
mother, ali that is regular high-school
talk. You mustn't bring up slang
against them !"
Mrs. Nichols laid down the envelope
! without reading the rest of her notes.
i've been thinking it over, Mar
garet." she said, quietly, "and I'll make
this offer: When you find high-school
sorority which not only stands for char
acter and scholarship-as they all say
they debut which is composed OF
girls who make practice OF telling
what their sorority does stand for, in
good. ineligible English, I'll consider
II fsvorably-not before! J"

A TYPICAL LANDSLIDE.

lDE.
The battle has been fought and won, the
conflict was terrific, the victory is glorious.
No campaign like it has ever been fought
out in any state in the Union The winning
candidate has batted single handed against
desperate odds. The machinery and the chi
canery of the state the power Of the corpora
tious have all been arrayed against him and the
black flag was raised early in the game; no
quarter has been shown him, no respect for his
1 personal rights, no regard for his private life.
He has had thousand provocations that would
Ijustify him in taking a shot gun and gcing into
the field man-hunting.
His success is due largely to the resent
Iment of a fair-minded public a public senti-
iment that recognized early in the campaign the
malevoepce of the opposition to Hoke Smith
It is nearly year yet before his inaugu-
ration and by that time much of the bitterness
will disappear and we confidently expect to see
Ia popular administration of Georgia by one of
the ablest governors any southern state has had
for many years. }. b. MERCER.

First Blower of sprina.

In the northern United States the snowdrop is the only garden flower that we can count on year after year as the earliest sign of spring. its pendulous white blossoms, with "heart-shaped seal of green" sung by Rossetti often appear before the last snow has gone.
 Luckily, even city families need not be without snowdrops, for they have been known to thrive in narrow pas sagewayS between all houses. Most bulbous plants like the baking hot sun of midsummer in order to ripen their bulbs, but the snowdrop thriyes best in partial shade.
 It blooms earlier if it has a chance at the March sun, but is one of the very few that will flower regularly, though less freely, in dense shade and with a northern exposure.-Country Life in America.

CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
 Bones in House of Worship.

The janitor of one of Portsmouth's largest churches was given big sur prise Sunday morning as he stepped into the auditorium after opening the big front doors to allow of the usual airing out He came face to face with a strange and tough-looking man. At first the janitor feared touch of the chills, but he finally brought himself together and inquired of the man what he had been doing.
 The fellow said that he had been en- toying a nights rest on the cushions of a pew away down front. Saturday night he was attracted to the church by the singing of the choir during re- hearsal. He found the door open, walked in and sat down.
 The music had that soothing effect and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew nothing more until daylight. when he awoke wondering where he was at He said that in all his life he had never found a more comfortable bed
 The janitor looked about, saw that nothing was disturbed and then al- lowed the stranger to go.-Portsmouth, N. H., Times.

Earninus of NoveIists.

Authors earn much less in France than in England The late Sir Walter Besant ten years ago estimated that there were 50 noyelists in England year. There are now probably nearer a hundred and fifty; while in France there are almost certainly not more than 50 who make living at all. An English novelist of standing will re- ceiye eighteerpence on every copy of a book sold. Some noyelists receive two shillings. Emile Zola, who touched high water mark in France, got a franc, which is rather less than ten pence. Seven pence halfpenny is considered excellent pay, and four pence and fvepence are common.

HOW DEBILITY SHOWS
And Why pr. Williams Pink Pills Are a Specific for Dangerous
 Physical Declines.

The symptoms of general debility vary according to the cause but weakness is always present, a tendency to perspire and fatigue easily, ringing ill the ears, sometimes black spots passing before the eyes, weak back, vertigo, wakeful- ness caused by inability to stop thinking. and unrefreshing sleep. The cause of the trouble may be some drain on the system or it may be mental or physical overwork, sometimes insufficient nutri. ton due to digestive disturbance. In the latter case there is generally loss of appetite and a coated tongue as well as general languor and debility.
 Miss Lula M. Metzger, stenographer, living at Fl Mill street, Watertown, N .Y., suffered for over a year from general debility. "It was caused by overstudy, !" she says, "and had no ambition, didn t want to go anywhere, my food didn t taste good, I was run down, lifeless and listless. took medicines but they failed to help me. Finally friends recon. mended Dr. Williams Pink Pills to my mother and she got some for me. l took them for some time and was entirely cured and have had no return of the trouble" 7"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills cure debility because they actually make new, red, rich blood, and as the blood carries noprishment to all the organs and tissues of the body, nerves as well as muscles, the new blood stimulates the organs to do the work that nature expects of them and normal health follows. Not only is this treatment sufficient to cure de bility but many severe nervous disorder: as well.
