The Struggle

Say not, the struggle naught availeth,
The labor and the wour DIS are vain,
The enemy fainis not, nor faileth.
And as things have been they re-
main.
If hopes were dupes, fears may be
liars;
II may be, in your smoke concealed,
Your comrades chase cen now the
flies,
Ard but for you possess the field
For while the tired waves, valnly
breaking,
Seem here no painful inch TO gain,
Far back. through creeks and inlets
making,
Comes silent, flooding In, the main.
And not by eastern windows only,
When daylight comes, comes in the
light;
In front, the men climb slow, bow
slowly,
But westward, look, the land il
bright.

The Normal School Regents met at

few char ges were made in the facui-
ties of various schools. The board
took an important step IN restricting
all commencement hereafter TO the

Chenille and Athens will hold their
commencements ON Tuesday OF that
week, and the other three normais will
hold their commencements on Friday
Of the same week, aud tho other three
nor,nals will hold their commence
ments on Friday Of the same week.
Heretofore the commencement period
covered two weeks to enable the board
to visit all the schools during their
commencements which was not only a
tax on the time Of each member but re-
suited in practically no benefit, az the
board always saw the schools on dress
parade, and the actual working IT the

the new policy Of the board to visit
each OF the schools several times during
the year. An order was entered pro-

Why a Woman Nags.

A doctor expresses the opinion
that nine times out OF ten the woman
who nags is tired. One time out OF
ten she is hateful. Times out OF mind
her husband is to blame.
The cases that come under the
physicians eye are those OF the wom-
en- who are tired. and who have been
tired so long that they are suffering
from some form of nervous disease.
They may think they are only
tired, but in fact they are i'll. In such
cases the woman often suffers more
from her nagging than her husband
or the children with whom she finds
fault.
She knows she does It, She does
not intend to do It. She suffers in her
own self-respect when she does II,
and in the depth of her soul longs
for something to stop It, The condi-
tion is usually brought on by broken
sleep improper food, want of some
other exercise than housekeeping
and enough OF out OF door air and
practical objective thinking.
1t Is often the most unselfish and
most affectionate of women who fall
into this state. says Woman's Life.
They are too much devoted to their
families to give themselves enough
OF any healthy exercise and diver
sion, enough OF maps. perhaps, or
concerts.

CRAZE FOR ANTIQUES
THINGS WOMEN DEMAND FROM
DEALERS IN FURNITURE.
Colonial Cabinets That Were Little
Known in Those Dsys--Substitut-
ing Parts to Make Modern Pieces
Appear Old.

Purchasers of antique furniture
could avoid being deceived In many
cases II they took the trouble to In
form themselves concerning what
they intend to buy" said a dealer
who tries to be conscientious.
"A woman was willing to pay any
price demanded for genuine old
corner cabinet with glass doors. 1t
had TO be absolutely genuine. how
ever.
II had two beautiful old cabinets,
lust the kind she wanted. They were
also antiques in every particular but
one. They had formerly had solid
wooden doors, just as all cabinets OF
that early period had.
Corner cabinets, as well as those
made for glass and china now, origi-
nally served only to keep food In.
They were like the ordinary pantry
or closet OF the day.
Naturally such cabinets were
heavy and clumsy compared with
those with glass doors. In all cases
the glass doors have been put In la
Ter 10 Indhe CdDiuttS CoilNSpohu w
modern taste.
Corner cabinets can never be
very old, because they were not In
use until a comparatively late pc
riod in Colonial history. The earlier
Colonial houses we're all supplied
with cabinets built into the corners
Of the room. So It Is impossible to
get cabinet OF this shape that is as
old as the first OF the American made
furniture.
"I told the lady all this, which
was, OF course, quite new to her. /
don't think she believed It, because
she went away without buying my
cabinets, although they were exactly
what she was looking for"
IL have sold so-called Colonial
bookcases for years" one dealer
said, "and in all that time | have
rarely come across a regular book
case OF the kind that stands on the
floor.
"The bookcases were all built to
sit on the tops of desks, in accord
ance with the fashion of that period.
We put small legs on them and sell
them.
"If told that to the women who
come to buy not half of them would
take the bookcases. II I told them
how these bookcases are made II
would not give them any satisfaction
and Il would lose a customer for me.

FLASHED
A DIAMOND
Alderman Says 1t was Offer
ed to Him for His
Vote.

louisville, Ky. July Like a
thunderclap out of clear sky,
Alderman Charles Hess announced In
the Aldermanic Chamber last night
that his vote in favor of a
granite voucher for S6,749 had been
sought by improper means, and, at
the same time, presented the vouch-
or to the council with five hun
dred dollar ring, which, he said,
was given him by l.. II. Figg, rep
Presenting the Georgia Granite Com
pany.
simultaneously with this an
Inouncement Detectives Foster and
White laid their hands on the
shoulders of Figg, who had remain
ed in the chamber to see his voucher
Iallowed, and placed him under ar
rest on bribery charge. He was
Immediately released on bond.
The announcement and presenta-
tion of the diamond ring by Hess
came while the Councils business
Jagged. The clerk of the board had
just finished reading the caption
to nearly a hundred insignificant
bills reported by committees, and
the WEAKNESS of the Councilmen
was manifest.
| Instantly the listless, noisy group
of Aldermen and spectators was on
the qui vive. Some thought Hess
was perpetrating a joke. Hess stated
that his action in accepting the
ring and turning it over to tine
Board of Aldermen had been taken
upon advice of the Mayor and
President Hepburn.
The Board went into executive
session at once.
| After the session President llye-
burn made the following statement.
"Fliggs came to Mr.. Hesss office
about 2:30 O'Clock this afternoon
and asked for a private interview
Figg told him he had a proposition
to make him. saying 1t would be
worth $500 to him, Hess, if the
Igranite voucher could be gotten
through this meeting. Hess told
Figg he would take the matter
under advlsement.
"Figg left and Hess Immediately
Etelephoned the Mayor of his inter.
view with Figg. We advised him tc
ALLOW Figg to make his proposition
with a view to determining what ht
meant and securing evidence"

Care of Shoes.


Have more than one pair. II will
be less expensive to have several
pairs all going at once than to buy
one and TO wear IL until past all use
fulness. 1t Is good plan for the
average woman to have two pairs of
dress shoes and two pairs OF strong
walking shoes always on hand.
Have few shoe trees. They may
be bought at reasonable price, and
will keep the shoe in shape wonder
fully. The toe is bound to turn up
when the shoe is empty and creases
will form.
Do not use much shoe polish.
Most shoes may be kept In good con
dition IL simply rubbed well every
night with a soft rag. Dressing may
be applied to the edges of the soles
and heels.
Never set shoes near heat, especi-
ally II they are wet. Any kind OF
heat. from the fireplace or the steam
radiator, will break or crack the
leather.
Do not let the heels run down.
It throws the soles out OF level and
spoils the shape. Never let buttoned
shoes be partly buttoned. Not only
does 1t indicate lack Of refinement.
but It ruins the shape OF the shoe.
When laced shoes are taken off at
night, do not leave them laced too
far up. The foot will have to be
forced into them in the morning and
and the Innings will be broken and
the shoe strained in many places.
Always use shoe horn for low shoes
and slippers.
