the impression that he might be tempt

of the lake. The place was surrounded
by heavy woods, a storm was coming up,
and the sky was threatening. 1t would

Hat. Thtt Improve With Age.


"A silk hat, like wine, improves with
age" said 8 clubman. 'The oftener
YOU have it ironed the sleeker and
more brilliant it becomes. 1t costs q
good deal at the outset, but In the end
it is the cheapest hat to wear. 1t lasts,
you see, 50 long, and to iron It costs
80 little. Some folks think the topper
very perishable. If it gets soaked with
rain, If some one sits on it and crush
es it into an accordion, they think 1t
must be thrown away the same as II
it were a derby. But not at all. A
silk hat can be taken apart and put
together again like watch, and II It
gets crushed nothing Is easier than to
melt of the silk, straighten out the
frame and then put on the silk again.
In England, the home Of this hat, !
have known men to wear the same
topper for ten or twelve years. And
the oftener the old hat is ironed the
brighter and finer it shines. It's luster
increases with time and friction like
the luster of good antique furniture"

A Walsh Sermon.

The Welsh are noted for their fond
ness for sermons and music. The an
nual eisteddfod, the national bardic
congress, is attended by thousands,
who on the great day Of festival
"chair' the fortunate bard, the winner
Of the prize.
A similar enthusiasm greets the
Welsh preacher who is eloquent In
speech and practical in expounding the
Scriptures. The following story of a
Welsh preacher, told in the Journals
of Walter White" illustrates the
graphic, simple exposition which con-
manded the attention of the congrega,
tion:
'Noe worked at the ark, driving
nails, plump, plump, plump. The hay.
then came and said: Noe, there's good
hunting in the woods here, hares and
foxes. Leave your work and come and
hunt But Noe kept on hammer1ng'
plump, plump, plump.
'The haythen came again: Noe
there's good beer at the Red Lion
Leave your work and come and, drink.
But Noe kept on hammering, plump
plump, plump! And then the rain
came, and the food lifted up the ark
and carried Noe away and left the
haythenN all screaming and squabbline

ALBANY, Ga, Nov. 15.-On a war
rant charging an attempt to murder,
sworn out by Mrs. E. F. jackson, 5.
H. Tiff, a leading member Of the
Georgia legislature, and one of the
wealthiest men in Southern Georgia,
was yesterday arrested and placed
under heavy bond.
Mrs. Jackson is a social leader and
first cousin of Tiff. She alleges that
he came into the room where she
and her husband were with his hand
in his overcoat pocket, and that after
exchanging words with Jackson, Tiff
drew an automatic revolver and
fired.
Jackson struck lifts shoulder as
he fired, and diverted the aim so the
charge did not take effect. Servants
of the house then rushed in and dis
armed Mr.. Tiff. There are various
rumors as to the cause of the trouble,
but all the persons involved refused
to make any statement.
Jackson has not moved against
Tiff, but Mrs. Jackson says she Will
prosecute her cousin to the limit.
The lifts are Connecticut people,
who made fortunes in Georgia lum-
Der. Their name has been given to

constitutes success. A Kansas wo-
man was awarded the prize and this
was her answer:
"He has achieved success who has.

much;' who has gained the respect q
intelligent men and the love Of little
children; who has filled his niche and
accomplished his task; who has left.
the world better than he found it,
whether by an improved poppy, a
perfect poem or rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation OF
earth's beauty or failed to express
it; who has always looked for the best.
in others and given the best he had;
whose life was an inspiration, whose
memory a benedichon."
