agree with me. They heard people come in
and tell me that for years they had been near
the grave with Bright's disease, or lung
trouble, or kidney complaint and all man
ner of diseases and that the New Discovery
had cured them. OF course these people
were mistaken, it was nothing but their
stomachs. AS matter of fact when the
stomach gives out most everything else is
thrown out of order too.

Men Are Bigger Now.

Until the sixteenth century armor
developed in logical way, it's forms
were governed by the necessities Of
war, and changes in it were the re-
suit Of practical experience and actual
experiment on the battlefield. After
the sixteenth century it became fan
tastic and meaningless, a gala costume
ather than harness. The greatest
captains opposed Its use, but the no.
bles chung to it as mark Of distino-
ton. After it was made bullet proof
It became so enormously heavy that at
the end Of the sixteenth century it
was complained that gentlemen of thir-
ty were even at that age deformed by
the weight sofztaheEiarnor. In spite of
the huge armors of Henry WILL, Of
Anthony of Burgundy and Of some 9th

IMPORTANT DECISION,
Value of Limoges China Will Remalr
on Old Basis.


on Old Basis.
New York, May BY decision of
Judge Byron S. Waite of the United
States general appraisers, just handed
down, 100000 worth Of Limoges china
imported by Haviland G Co. from their
factory at Limoges, was admitted at a
valuation which will sustain the pres
ent prices on French china all through
this country. The decision is an i'm
portant one. Claims had been made
that Limoges china was undervalued
at the customhouse and the apprais-
ers, for the purpose of making a test,
Increased the valuation 72O per cent.
The result was that importations i'm
mediately ceased and as this country
was the chief customer for the product
the factories at Limoges, France, had
to close down.
The decision now rendered puts the
valuation back practically on the old
basis, so that importations will con.
tinue and work at Limoges can be re.

Harvell lay In the bottom of his ca
noe. The canoe was tied few feet out
from the shore, and the river, deep,
powerful and mysterious, tugged at the
frail little craft. But Harvell did not
heed the call. The darkness was deep,
yet luminous, with the promise Of an
early moon, and the night wind that
swept from shoreward was sweet and
heavy with the fragrance Of blooming
rushes.
Harvell stared upward to the stars,
every sense as keenly alive to the
beauty of the scene as if mind and
heart had not been given over for days
to the problem which he had thrown
himself into the canoe to solve. Final
~ he stirred restlessly and said half
aloud:

SPENCER MEMORIAL.
Employees Of the Road to Erect Suit
able Monument to the Memory of
The President of the Road.

The management Of the Southern
railway has received large number
Of resolutions, unanimously adopted
by the employees in various depart
mcnts expressing Il desire to erect
suitable monument to the memory of
the late Samuel Spencer, president
of the Southern aRilway company.
WHO lost his life in an accident on
his line November 90, 1906. These
suggestions have met with the hearty
approval of the executive officers,
from the president down, as it ap-
pears that the employees wish to make
the contributions freely and volun-
tarily and to such an extent as would
insure the erection Of a monument
commensurate with Mr.. Spenccr's
services in life. With this assurance
on the part of the employees, it has
been deemed advisable to organize a
general committee to outline plans for
collecting these contributions, which
would give each and every cmployc
an equal opportunity to contribute
to the fund. Following this idea, q
general committee has been formed,
composed Of men to represent the
various classes of employees.
This committee has agreed upon a
method of raiSin" and collecting these
funds which will afford the little
lamp-lightcr, or the messenger boy,
the Same opportunity to give as is Of
fcred the highest official of the COM
pnny, and he can proudly state that
he contributed just rs much to this
monument. in proportion to his earn
in"s. as did the president of the road
The plan is to allow each employe to
contribute on a percentage basis, in
accordance with the following gradu-
ated scale:
Grade I. All employees receiving
from &1.00 up to aud including 500
per month, to contribute one cent out
of each dollar earned during the
month Of March, 1907.
Grade III. All employees receiving
from $l0l.00 up to and including
$4,000 per month, to contribute two
cents out of each dollar earned during
the month Of March, 1907.
Grade III. All employees receiving
from $201.00 up to and including

Ansley, has been requested, and has
consented to act as treasurer Of this
fund. ,. .'.'.... =. ..:
The month Of March has been sell
ected rs the most appropriate for
collecting this fund because it is the
month III which Mr.. Spencer was
born. 1t has also been decided to
erect this monument on the plaza in
front of the Terminal Station in At
lanta, Ga, because Mr.. Spencer was
native Georgian, raised and educat-
ed in that state. Atlanta is the capi-
tai of Georgia, and 4 central point on
the Southern . Railway system. This
particular site, in front of the Ter
minal Station, was chosen because
this station itself is monument of
Mr.. Spencer's own energy and love
of his native state, while what
the road is to erect is testimonial
Of love and esteem for him whose
kindness of heart ever led him to
treat with the same consideration his
humblest employe and his highest Of
fcer.
BY creating from large number of
disconnected and struggling roads the
great Southern Railway system, Mr..
Spencer has given to his native south
Il splendid line of railway, which its
people are now enjoying. 1t is, there

of his tragic and untimely end, that
