Were Classic Ads.

It seems curious to American ideas to know that there is firm of house decorators in London which has been mentioned by some of the most emil nent English writers. It started In 1895, and Jane Austen, Thackeray and Lord Lytton are among the many writers who have placed their heroes or heroines in rooms decorated by this firm. This might be called classic ad- vertising.

Somewhat Different.

"This question whether a word should have it's adverbial or it's ad- jective form seems to me to have lit tie to do with the sense. Now, what is the difference between talking loud and talking lOudly?"

 They Act like Exercise on the Bowel Muscles, make them strong and active able to Help Themselves do their work keep themselves clean.

Thou art gone dear, kind and noble papa
Thy voice we hear no more,
Thou art awaiting us dear papa
On that bright and beautiful shore.
Thy place is vacant in our home
Thy place thou once did fill!
We are coming to thee papa,
If it is Gods will.
We mourn thee papa, but not alone,
Thy friends they mourn thee too,
Even the flowers, they look so sad
They also mourn for you.
Dear papa thou hast paid the debt we
owe,
The debt we all must pay,
But on that bright and lovely shore
There is eternal day.
My dear Papa passed from this life
into eternal life, on the 18th. of May
1906. God sets the day, the hour the
moment when to call every human be-
ing he placed on this earth. We know
not what moment we shall be called.
Some are prepared to go the moment
he calls, others are not. My Papa was
ready He was only waiting for God S
summons from on high. l have work to
do he said but am not afraid to die |
am ready to go. He loved his home
his wife and children and was looking
forward with pleasure to the time when
he could retire from works, and enjoy
the comforts which home can only
give. My Papa worked all his life and
had just built nice little home to which
he was going to retire from work, and
rest, rest which he deserved so much,
but God wanted him he had better
home for him in Heaven, home not
built with hands. My Papa wanted to
educate his children, his highest aim
was that his children should be brought
up in the world as educated and refined
women. My Papa was never known to
be tattler, he always said he thought
man had very good job to attend
to his own business and let the other
people do the same. Papa was friend
to all he became associated with till the
end came and his kind friends assisted

StoneWall Jackson Institute
For Young Ladies.
Abingdon, Va.

One of the surest signs of the
development Of the South is the
prosperity of it's schools. We note
with real congratulation the sue
cess of Stonewall Jackson Insti
tute for Young Ladies, at Abing
don, Virginia.
There are few schools, if any,
in the country that are doing a
greater work for our girls. The
teachers come into close personal
touch with them, thus creating a
real home atmosphere. In a
quiet, unostensible way, the
school impresses it's stamp of cul-
ture, refinement and high chris
tian character upon the pupils.
It has a high curriculum, ex-
cellent advantages in music, and
the usual extras required in
schools for girls; and in addition,
it is keeping abreast with the
demands of the times and the
changed conditions in the south
by having an industrial depart
ment, in which cooking, sewing
and wood carving are taught
practically.
Abingdon ranks first in health
in the state of Virginia according
to the statistical report of the
year, and the school has always
been noted for the care taken of
the health of it's pupils.
Under the present administra-
ton, improvements have been
made amounting to $20,000.00,
and more are contemplated.
This excellent institution be-
longs to the Abingdon Presby-
terry, not to private individuals,
and is run for the benefit of the
people, and not as a money max
ing machine; hence the low price
charged as compared with other
schools Of equal scholastic ad
vantages.
. Parents with daughters to be
sent from home to be educated
would do we'll to consider the
merits of the Stonewall jackson
Institute of Abingdon, Virginia.

Miss Hattie Williams. the comediene
who helps Sam Bernard with the fun
making In The Rollicking Girl and is
one of the handsomest brunettes on the
stage, was requested recently to furnish
a beauty recipe" said a histrionic.
1.-The hard work part of the question
said Miss Williams, is confusing and mis-
leading. inasmuch as hard work is the
very best thing for every woman, be she
beauty or not; and fine weather brings
out all the radiance and color in a hand
some woman. and really enhances every
claim she may have to pulchritude. These
two conditions need not be considered, as
they contribute to beauty instead of de-
tracing from 1t. As for myself l make
no pretentions to being beautiful, but
whatever attractions l possess attribute
first to native endowment, which al
ways counts for much; second, to a liberal
use of cold water, and third to serence
mind and the reading of Tennyson and
Herrick. l never let a day of my life
pass without reading or reciting THE Day
Dream" by Tennyson. 1t is my favorite
poem. l like every line, and believe there
is enough inspiration in it to make any
woman feel beautiful
