N1lest the king of Syria catch thee

servant of Elisha one day as he rushed
Into the presence of the prophet. The

tionins those standing in the market
place as TO whether Elisha the prophet
had come thither. saying that they
had important tidings for him, and
when they had received an affirmative
reply they made as though they would
search thee out in the city. and then
by another route they passed out of
The city and fastened away.
And why tiinkest thou that they
we're emissaries OF the Syrians?,
asked the prophet, calmly.

That they were making for the outer

KEEP GARMENTS IN CONDITION
Hint for the Woman Who Would
Appear Well Groomed.

Inc woman who always looks we'll
dressed and well groomed, although
her pin money is but half Of yours, is
the one who never lets her clothes
wear out
When she discards any garment it
shows no unsightly rents and tears
or any spots and stains; II simply is
worn too thin for further use. She
mends the instant n need appears.
Mending Is a lost art NOWADAYS.
There are few women who can mend
intelligently. This perfectly groomed
woman. however, keeps threaded
needles In her pin cushion, where they
will be ready for instant use. A rip
or split in her glove is mended as soon
as II appears and the braid OF her
skirt is mended before she catches
her heel in 1t, endangering her life or
at least her bones.
The braid that is beginning to fray
is ripped off and turned or replaced
with new. The little jagged tear,
where she caught her skirt on a nail
is mended with piece OF adhesive It's

Lions Of evil in the way of

IL takes the eye Of faith to see
that the resources and power Of
God are always greater than

The forces of evil can never

A fact for the Christian to
rest on: 1.-THE angel Of the
Lord encampeth round about
them that fear him and deIivcreth

The peace and assurance that
that fact brings: Though an
host should eneamp against me,
my heart shall not fear; though
war should rise against me, in
this will I be confident"
The unseen forces Of God are
ever on guard lest evil come
nigh thy dwelling.
Syria's mighty army was but
a puppet In the hands Of God.
What fools God made Of those
mighty men of war as like
sheep they were led into the
trap set for them by the prophet.
Surely God "brinseth the coun-
sells Of the heather to nauaht:
he maketh the devices Of the
people (eviD Of none effect"
How wonderful seems this
story Of Gods hosts coming to

We need to offer the prayer
Of Elisha: "Lord, open thou
mine eyes," In order that we
may see the mighty forces which
are at our command in the fight
against sin in our own lives and
the evil in the world.
Not only did God give siqht
to the young man so that he
could see the invisible forces
present to deliver, but he shut
the eyes Of Syria's mighty men
so that they saw not whittier

RABBIT MAKES HIS HOME AT
 RESIDENCE OF JUNGLE REMUS'

Atlanta, July 26.-(Special. "A remark able incident following the recent death of Joel Chandler Harris is vouched for by no less authority than members of his own family.
 The Sunday following Uncle Remus' death a rabbit made it's appearance at the Harris home and took up it's domicile in the coal shed, seeming to prefer sleep ing upon the coal than anywhere else. The negro butler was one of the first to see him and picked up a stone to throw at him when he was stopped by Mrs. liar ris.
 Since his arrival the rabbit has ex- hibited a remarkable tameness, permit ting the children to play with him (these are MT. Harris grandchildren, and even playing with the cat He runs through the house and will eat out of one's hand. Where he came from no one knows, nor has anyone in the neighborhood missed a pet rabbit so far as can be ascertained.
 But there 'Bre'r Rabbit is making his home at "The Sign of the wren's Nest" and what is more it is the first time the Harris family has ever had a rabbit on the place.
 It is at least remarkable that one Of the animals which MT. Harris helped make famous should come to live at his home after the well-known author s death.

Jesse Becker Goino.

Atlanta, July 26.-Atlanta may lose one of the star performers of the entire Southern league when the present sea son draws to a close. The man who may be missing when the season ope IS in 1909 is now no less a person than Jesse Becker, one of the most popular players that ever wore an Atlanta uni form.
 Becker has been suffering from asth- ma for some time. He had it when he first came to Atlanta, but soon aft sr his arrival improved so much he thought he had found a location where he would not be troubled any more. But recently 1t has developed again, and in form so violent that 1t has caused him great deal of pain and loss of sleep. He is better while in Atlanta than any other place in the south and in some of the other cities of the cir cult suffers terribly.

ROOSEVELT QUITS
 HORSE FOR AUTO

Oyster Bay, July 26.-Again this morn Ing President Roosevelt made use of an automobile in preference to his fine horses in going from Sagamore Hill down to Christ Episcopal church in the vil- lage It is reported that he has said that he did not care to use an automo- bile so long as there were good horses to be had. But it would seem that he is beginning to take fancy to riding in one or the other of the two big tour- ing cars stationed here for the use of the secret service men, for on number of occasions recently he has made use of them.
 Today was the second Sunday he has come to church in one of the big cars.
 President Roosevelts secretary, Vii liam Loeb, Jr., is furbishing up his rifles and other firearms and overhauling his fishing tackle, preparatory to taking his summer vacation and enjoying relaxa- tion from the arduous duties of the inn portant post he occupies. MT. Loeb will leave next Friday for a months recrea- tion and sport in the woods.

RAILROADS PROTEST ON
 PROPOSED LEGISLATION

Atlanta, July 6.-(SpeciaL L)-The rail- roads of the state are up in arms against the effort of the general assembly to inn pose upon them the requirement. that they equip all engines used in traffic on their main lines with electric headlights. This bill, the passage of which has been strongly advocated by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, will come up for final action in the senate next week, hay ing already passed the house. Based upon the objections of the railroads the senate committee gave it an unfavorable report, put the senate disagreed to that report and put 1t on the calendar for action
 There are approximately 800 locomotives In Georgia which are used in main line traffic, and to equip each of these with an electric headlight, railroad men say, would cost from $l75,O00 to $20O, 900. This they regard as an unnecessary and bur- densome expense. In addition to first cost they say the increased cost of main tenance will be about $135, 900 a year.
 Tn addition to the heavy expense the railroads insist that these headlights are oDJectionable They have been tried and apandoned by many railroads, they state, because 1t is claimed the extreme bright hsht penetrates the thin coating of red on the signal lights and makes them ap- pear white. The engineers, on the other hand, claim the electric headlight aids thelr vision, and state they will result III great saving to life and property. On straight track the light can be seen TOT more than half mile.

properly held. All such seizures are to be donated to some charitable in stitution in the counties where they are made. The warden is given the power to serve court processes. He is auth orized to appoint deputy wardens, one or more in each congressional dls- trict of the state, at $3 while under the state wardens orders The game war den may issue permits for persons to bring in or ship out game birds for scientific purposes. All sheriffs, depu- ty sheriffs, marshals and other peace officers, are declared to be ex-officfo game and fish wardens.

These may be procured from the county clerk of court, to whom the state warden will furnish blanks. Licenses to non-ress- dents may be issued by the state war den for a fee of $15; the price of licenge to residents is $1. A man may hunt on his.own land without procuring license.

The states liability for all expenses in the enforcement of the law is limited to the amount in the game protection fund. All money collected from fines and forfetures be- long to the game protection fund.

Atlanta, July 26.-(special. )-There will be precipitated in the house this week a fight over the pending resolution which calls upon the attorney general to secure from the United States supreme court decree absolute closing down the Duck town copper mines across the Georgia line in Tennessee.
 For years these poisonous fumes have been destroying vegetation for miles around in North Georgia. The state Of Georgia brought suit in the supreme court restraining the operators of these mines from continuing these plants to the detriment of Georgia vegetation. The decree was granted and it was left to the discretion of the attorney general of Georgia as to when he should ask that it be made permanent. In the meanwhile the operators of the mines declare that they have endeavored to imprison the deadly fumes and have succeeded in re- ducing it to 90 per cent. They claim that they are now perfecting arrange ments where 60 per cent will be confined,

and that the other 40 per cent will be dis sipated in the air, and not be injurious to growing vegetation.
 This industry is of pertinent interest to Georgia and to the south, by reason of the fact that at this place the greatest amount of sulphuric acid manufactured in the world is procured, which when mixed with phosphate rock makes phos- phoric acid, one of the prime ingredients of the most universal commercial fertiliz- CTS used in the south. This fertilizer is composed of phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash. The source of the nitrogen in this mixture is derived from cotton seed meal. There are hundreds of small fertilizer plants throughout the state and the south where cotton seed meal and phosphate rock are had and it is neces- sary to secure this sulphuric acid to make phosphoric acid, so necessary to trans form it into q commercial fertilizer. Re- ports show that this cotton seed meal fertilizer Is more generally used than ap. cher brand, and any action to the curtailment of this mixture will be watched with universal interest.
