"There is a singular idea that pre- vails among many people that if lit tie is a good thing more is better said physician. and an incaiculabie amount of harm is done. There are cases where little quinine does good. and the patient, instead of going to physician and finding out how much he wants, buys quantity at drug store and takes so much that 1t is a positive detriment. When persons have been sick and obtained a prescription. they ina zine they know just what to do the next time they are ailing and increase the dose. often with most disastrous results The careless use of medicine by those not familiar with it's conse- Guences causes more trouble than al most any other source of ailment to which the human body is subject

Atlanta Woman Refuses to Move and Wreckers Demolish

PLIES NEEDLE UNCONCERNED
Police Finally Have to Carry Her Away, Still Sewing as if Nothing Unusual Had
 Happened.

Utterly indifferent to what was go ing on around her, Mrs. T. R. Richie, who now calls herself Miss Ellen Hampton, sat in her home, 1eO Lucille avenue, Atlanta. Ga, while the build ing was being torn down over her head. She had decided she would not move from the dwelling, and, although she was repea tedly asked to vacate, she stayed just where she was until only the floor remained, and she was car ried away in her chair still sewing.
 Carpenters knocked off the weather boards. Shingles fell in showers bout rang in her csrs. and still she sat there, apparently oDlivioHH, to everything

 The house was on hillside, and the property was bought by a syndicate which wanted to grade the land for building lots.
 Watkins and his wife did not want to move. Mrs Richie did not care wheth- CT she moved or not, only she was not going to any trouble to hunt a home or to move The three were re- peatedly notified that the house was going to be torn down, but still they did not move.
 When the workmen began to tear down the building Watkins and his wife took their furniture and piled it in the yard They remained there two days and ate their meals in the open air.
 Mrs. Richie did not move. She said she had only very few things in the world, and She did not care whether they were damaged or not. She sat In a rocking chair quietly sewing while the work of demolition

 The carpenters tried to avoid injur- ing her. and every now and then some one would reason with her and beg her to get out of the house.
 But she sat there, sewing.
 When the roof, the weatheTbOards, the rafters and joists were removed and there remained only the floor one of the workmen called the police and asked the officers to send after the woman A patrol wagon was sent, and Mrs. Richie and her few earthly possessions were taken 10 headquar- ters. She offered no resistance fo the police. nor would she assist them. TWO policemen picked up the chair and car ried Mrs. Richie 10 the wagon. The officers VOW she did not miss stitch.

SOUTHERN DIALECT.


 Few things are more pathetlcally absurd than the attempt of Northerh newspapers to reproduce in print what they call the Southern dialect, says the Richmond NewsLeader. The absurdity and foolishness or the nerformance are increased by the fact that now and then callow reporter on a Southern newspaper actually follows these Northern models, and a careless or ignorant editor permits the abomination to go in type. man in Macon, Ga, has been aroused by one of these enormities of recent date. He protests energeticaliy against quoting an alleged educated Southerner as using "sah' for Sir ana "yo. for you and "hear' for here. He also objects to the regulation rep resentation of Southern people as using "ah' for I. It would be inter- esting to know what special idiot de yised that notion. We doubt II any body on earth ever heard anypody else say "ahll go over" for I'll go over. Yet newspaper so carefuiiy edited and usually exact as the New York Sun invariably quotes Southern people. white and negro, as saying "ah'l" for I'll when it undertakes to produce a dialect story.
 The truth is, there is no such thins as fixed and established rules for pro- nunciation. The elegancies of one gen eruation are the vulgarities of anoth- or. When we talk of pure English we do not know what we are talking ahont. The purest English, according to the standards of a century ago. IS snoken in the mountains of Il South. where people use the idioms, expressions and accommodations o' George Washington and Patrick Hen Ty.
 Probably il is all a matter Of habl' md ear tuning The Western and Eastern people laugh at our suppress ed r's and omitted s's as hard, harsh ungainly and aggressive as so many fine pebbles, while the Weste<ners run in at every opportunity with barrel or two of grinding. grating miserable r's, which have about same effect on our ears as scourins them with coarse sand paper. We observe. however that within the las twenty years the East is eomlns steadily to the Southern pronnncia tion. It is only in very remote set dement's that we hear now No' York" for New York, whereas 1t Wa almost universal in that very city a recently as 1880. The hideops ot fense of "Toosday" has nearly val ished from the land, but educated an cultivated people on the other sid of Chicago and Washington used | be victims Of it within the recosie' ton of living men Everybody use to laugh at the Virginians for ,thei pronunciation of ear hut anon people who affect precision and el' gance in place of the more commo way which makes the word sound 2 # it were spelled with a k,
