DISSERTATION ON
KINDS OF HUSBANDS
Success Magazine.)

Success MagaZine.)
Husbands are the natural product
of most civilized countries. They
are plentiful in most of the United
States of America, being scarcest in
Utah and Massachusetts, where each
lady owns but a fraction of a hus-
band, or none at all. Those owning
no more than morbid interest IN
husband are called old maids
Although the best husbands in
this country are acknowledged by
experts to be indigenous to the soil,
those commanding the highest mar
ket prices are the imported VaFle-
ties, because of their expensive la
bells. The Crown brand brings the
largest figure.
The husband is wary and elusive
animal. fleeing for safety at the
first noise like a skirt to his lair
in clubs and other remote caves of
his habitat: but he may be caJoled
forth by an appearance OF 1ndlfer-
ence on the part of the trapper, as
his curiosity can always be aroused
bv the strange creature who could
remain immune to his charms; after
which he may be easily caught any
where in broad daylight Though a
white night-light or moon-calelum is
preferable). in trap composed OF
frou-frou, talcum, golden locks, and
flattery.
There is a tradition to the effect
that the earliest husband-catcher was
a clumsy contrivance made of fine
thanksgiving attached to a spinning
wheel. decorated with homemade
preserves put up in sirup OF sweet
disposition and sealed in common
sense jars.
Once secured with matrimonial
halter tied in diamond hitch, the
husband usually becomes quite tame
and will eat from the hand and sign
checks at will There are more than
fifty-seven varieties of husbands at
large and in capativity, but they are
large and in captivity, but they are
by their respective owners or keep
ers called wives Since the wife is
so constituted that she can believe
ANYTHING she sets her mind to, she
can easily persuade herself that a
bad husband is a good one and vice
versa-a merciful provision of Provi-
dence for marital happiness.
The American husband is called by
his transatlantic compeers a beast
of burden; to which he may very
justly retort that the transatlantic
husband is a beast of prey, or other
wise, but always a beast, and that
it's a White Mans Burden, anyway.
All of which proves that the highest
grade husband extant has his PERM
anent habitat in these United States
of America.

SPIRIT PHOTOGRAPHS.
(New York Times.)

Nobody who has owned a cheap,
easily portable snapshot cameras
and carelessly snapped two several
views without rolling the film be-
tween the snaps, needs much explain
alton OF the process of making So
called spirit photographs. There
is nothing occult or psychic about
those cheap delusions, and only the
perverse mind Of the most prejudiced
'spiritualist" could be deceived by
a likeness taken upon a proposed
plate. We must assume that il DR.
Raupert, said to be a member of
the Psychical Research Society, and
a special envoy of the Pope, is show
ing these astral photographs" to his
co-religionists in Chicago, his object
is merely to warn them of the OBJ
yious frauds of spirtualism The
best mechanical tricks of the alleged
mediums are bettered by the profess
sional illusionists, whose cabinet
manifestations, slate writing, and
second sight" exhibitions are con-
Quoted with a measure of painfully
acquired skill quite out of the reach
of most of the spiritualist mediums.
No, doubt, though, there is more
OF less S6ll-u6luSlOl among even
the performing spiritualists Some
of the strange results of hypnotism
and what is called telepathy are still
puzzling to science. There is enough
in the practices of spirtualism, even
in this day of widely diffused educa-
ton, to justify the Church in taking
steps to guard its communicates
against it. But there is small hope
for people who are capable of being
deceived by the performance of mech
anical tricks by the alleged mediums
when they can see the same tricks
done much better by hired music
hall performers who make no claim
to occult powers.
The best gifts of the stage magi-
clans are their ability to palm small
objects and their trained memories.
The mediums are much less skillful.
The mechanical tricks employed by
both can be bought in shops. You
may take a photograph of your res
pected father with a beautiful fe-
male ghost lowering over him at any
time the old gentleman is willing to
give you a sitting. 1t is foolish sort
of fun, however, and a waste Of
money.

GOV. BROWN REVERSING ORDER
(Mpledgeville News.)

All Milledgeville should be proud of
the fact that our next Governor is to
be the guest of the city on Nov. 10th,
next. Every citizen should help to
make this red-letter day and help
to make Hon. Joseph NJ Brown be-
lieve that his visit is welcome one.
Have you noticed the difference be-
tween Mr. Brown and most of his
Mr.. Brown remained at home during
the late campaign, quietly conducting
his own affairs, promising nothing in
return for votes and simply attend
ing to necessary correspondence each
day? He did not go about the state,
promising great and impossible
things, investigating alleged grievan-
ces and promising relief from ex-
listing conditions. Not he.
Bpt, Jos. NJ. Brown is now doing
what every good governor ought to
do He is visiting each section of the
state, meeting the people, learning
their wants and needs, investigating
the state institutions and in every
way equipping himself for a sane and
conservative reign as head of the
finest state in the Union.
Governor Smith visited Milledge-
vile before the primary of two years
ago. He protested much interest in
our institutions and our wants. But
after the people had elected him
to the highest office in the gift of the
people, he promptly forgot Milledge-
ville and has never yet visited our
Institutions He knows little of what
we have and what we need
Hon. Jos. NJ. Brown is brainy
man. No, not handsome, but brainy.
He is going to make us a good bust
ness governor. His visit to this
city next month will not be his last.
He will notice what we have, what
we need and we are sure he will
give us what he believes we honestly
need.
Let everybody combine for a great
reception to our next governor when
he visits this city on November 10th.
You will feel better for it.

THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH
washington Post.)


II want to be president of the
whole country" That was the hople
and patriotic remark OF William n
Taft, when, over the protest OF some
of his wisest and most trusted aaVls-
ers. he went South to appeal 10 ms
feIlow-citizens of that section LOT poi
itical support. What November :, .
has in store for this country all
NAV surmise, and no man may Know
but if William H. Taft shall be CHOSEN
President by the vote OF Kentucky
and Tennessee 1t would WoFk
immensely for cementlng OF the
union of the North and the South.
From 1876 to 1892, both inclusive,
the South was solid. Since then her
vote has been divided, and IL Is
probable that Taft will get electoral
support south of Mason and Dixon 5
line this year, for Delaware, MARY,
land and West Virginia are classed
as Southern, because they were
slave territory when Lincoln nrst
was elected President. II Bryan
should carry Ohio and Indiana, ana
Taft receive the vote OF tennessee
and Kentucky, sectionalism would no
more find Judgment in our poilIics'
If it should turn out that KENTUCKY
and. Tennessee should go for IaIt.
Both the leading parties woula De
nationalized. In 1880 James A Gar
field got no electoral vote south OIL
Mason and Dixon's line, and Han
cock got none north of that line eX-
cent in New Jersey. At that linle
sectionalism was in the green tree,
and heaven registered and nell
chuckled" because of the hatred
Northerner bore Southerner that was
returned to the Northerner by the
Southerner with eXorbitant ana
frightful usury.
For years the South had no am
bition but to be solid, and for years
the Republican party stroye tor no
end but to make the North SOLID. but
for that there would have been no
fiftaenth amendment. The Spanish
war came against the hopes ana
advfces Of the better elements Oh
both parties. but it served the pat
riotic purpose to reveal the aston
fsbing truth to the North that tne
men who followed Lee and thelf
sons were as ready to die for the
flag as were the men who followed
Grqnt and their sons. 80
Perhaps the man in middle ne
win vet see a Republican President
come out of the South.

Why He Failed as a Leader
Success Magazine

His mind was not trained to grasp
great subjects, to generalize, to
make combinations.
He was not self-reliant, did not de-
pend upon his own Judgment; lean
ed upon others; and was always
seeking other peoples opinion and
advice.
He lacked courage. energy, bold
ness.
He was not resourcefuI or inyen-
He could not multiply himself in
others.
H did not carry the air of a
conquerer. He did not radiate the
power Of leader.
There was no power back of his
eye to make men obey him
He could not handle men
He antagonized people.
He did not believe in himself
He tried to substitute gall for
ability
He did not know men.
He could not use other peoples
brains.
He could not project himself into
his lieutenants; he wanted to dc
everything himself
He did not inspire confidence in
others because his faith in himself
was not strong enough.
He communicated his doubts and
his fears to others
He could not cover up his weak
points
He did not know that to reveal his
own weakness was fatal to the conf
dence of others

Night Riding LawIessness
Savannah Morning News.)

Night riding is a kind of lawless-
ness that cannot be checked too soon.
It has cropped out in several of
the cotton states recently, the al
legged purpose being to prevent farm
ers from selling cotton until the price
advances. If it once gets a -foothold
in a community or a state it is al
most certain to be made the means
of revenging all sorts of fancied
wrongs. No man feels safe with
such an institution in his neighbor-
hood. He doesn't know when its
wrath will be directed against him.
He feels his life and property are
unsafe, and. therefore, he wants to
get to a safer community as quickly
as possible community where
courts are upheld and the laws res
pected.
