the next thought caught and held
her in it's sharpness.
Why had the child been given to
her? To keep, to love, and, alas,
some day to give into the charge of
another.
Then, at once, the motherhood that
dwelt within her, ennobled her. Reso-
lutely she turned from the picture.
Her duty lay straight before her and
she would not shirk it.
One last, lingering look she gave
to the baby Helen Then, quietly
mounting the stairs, she passed down
the long hall leading to her daugh-
ter's room. She knocked with
steady hand. Helen answered.
Something in her mothers face ar
rested her attention. The light that
lay in her dear eyes, the smile that
TRANSPORTED her sweet lips, touched
Helen keenly.

Then she drew the girl to a seat on
the wide couch, and folded the slight
figure to her.
"You must go with Leonard" she
began. "No, do not draw away, little
girl." She paused. 81 have cheated
you out Of too much happiness.
The girl shivered.
1T can't understand, mother"
she said, just as she had spoken to
her husband.
''You will not understand, Helen"
the mothers voice trembled and
caught IN her words; "you will not
understand until you have risen to
the heights of sacrifice. When you
have worked for Len, when you have
shared his troubles, then you will I'M

The door opened suddenly. Leonard
stood on the threshold. At sight Of
the two women, his face hardened
into bitter lines. Why was the moth

take his place? Then his eyes caught
and rested on Helen s white face. She
leaned forward as if to beckon to
him. At once, he went to her, urged
by something within him. The great
love that he bore her came forward
and found utterance in hasty words
"Helen," he cried, "I've thought
it all out. I have been cruel and sell
fish. Can you forgive me? We shall
stay here and you shall do as you
please That empty room in there

Helen leaned forward, impelled by
the birth of something within her
heart.

A PRAYER.

Give us courage and gaiety and the
quiet mind. The day returns and
brings US the petty round of irritat-
ing concerns and duties. Help us to
play the man, help us to perform
them with laughter and kind faces,
let cheerfulness abound with indus
try. Give us to awake with smiles,
give us to labor smiling. Give us
health, food, bright weather, and
light hearts. Let US lie down with
out fear and awake and arise with
exaltation. Grant US courage to en-
dure lesser ills mistaken, and to ac-
cept death, loss and disappointment
as 1t were straws upon the tide of life.
When day returns, return to us our
sun and comforter, and call us up
with morning faces and morning
hearts-eager to labor-eager to be
happy if happiness shall be our por-
tion-and if the day be marked with
sorrow, strong to endure it.-Robert
Louis Stevenson.

A SHINING MARK.

A lady, grievously tormented with
a corn on her toe, was advised by one
Of her friends to anoint it with phos-
phorus, which in a weak moment she
did, but forgot to tell her husband
before retiring at night. It had just
turned IL when the husband awoke
and was startled to see something
sparkling at the foot of the bed. He
had never heard Of a freely in the
locality, nor did he ever remember
seeing such terrible looking object
as the toe presented. Reaching care
fully out of bed till he found one Of
his slippers, he raised it high in the
air and brought it down with great
force upon the mysterious light.
A shrek and an avalanche Of bed
clothes, and all was over. When at
last he released himself from the bed
clothes he discovered his wife groan-
ing in a corner Of the bedroom, but
she had got rid Of that phosphorated
corn.-London Graphic.

WATSON DENIES MAKING
ANY POLITICAL DEAL

Atlanta, September 27.-(Special)-
Thomas e. Watson has taken the
sparkle out of another political fake,
and as a result Of some very emphatic
statements which he makes in his JEFF
fersonian this week, the effort to show
that the democratic nominee for gov
ernor, Joseph M. Brown, was mixed up
in any deal to turn the Georgia cleo
toral vote over to Mr.. Watson has
fallen fat.
Mr.. Watson makes his statements in
response to certain communications In
which the writers call upon him to
make good his alleged threat that IF
Joe Brown comes out for William Jen
nings Bryan for President, 1 will make
him as helpless as newborn babe"
Mr.. Watson says he doesn't propose
to attempt anything of the kind be-
cause, in the first place, he never
said it. Continuing, he says:
There never was any deal made
or attempted in the gubernatorial race
of $685. and there never was time
when 1 asked or expected the support
of the democratic nominee for gov
ernor."
He says no sane man could have
doubted Mr.. Browns assertion and posi-
ton from the first, in behalf of the
national democratic nominees. Com
menting on the alleged threat, further
along, Mr.. Watson says:
1.-THE story that 1 made threats
against Joe Brown was Matched in the
office of the Atlanta Journal, Hoke's
organ. 1t is false of course"

CONGRESSMAN CLAYTON SPEAKS.
Remains of Will Moseley Brought to
Union Springs for Burial.

Union Springs, September 27.-(Special.)
Henry D. Clayton, congressman of this
district, spoke here Friday in the court
house to large audience upon the polit-
ical issues of the day. He discussed the
tariff and the financial affairs of the gov
eminent and expressed great confidence
in the election of Bryan in November.
Mr.. Clayton is always a welcome visitor
to Union Springs and his many friends
were delighted to hear him.
The remains of Will Moseley, who died
in a sanatorium in New York last Tues
day, reached here yesterday afternoon
and were carried to the home of his
father, F. M. Moseley. The funeral oc-
Cured this morning at 10 o'clock, con-
Quoted by Rev. e. s. Crawford. Mr..
Moseley was about "a years of age and
was an exceptionally bright and promis-
ing young man before his health failed.

The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-09-28

And then in a signed editorial Mr..
Watson asserts that there is not
word of truth in the story about the
alleged deal for the states electoral
vote. No deal was ever contemplated,
proposed or made, he says. watson had
no right to expect anything from
Brown; did not expect anything, and
does not expect anything
He further calls attention to the fact
that he began opposition of the policies
of Gov Smith in November 1907, be-
fore it was ever contemplated that TIL
governor would have any opposition
for the nomination.
I This would seem to dispose effectual-
ly of the alleged deal or attempted deal
to deliver the electoral vote of Georgia
to Mr. Watson upon which the indie
pendent forces have built great hopes
and are endeavoring to make it one
of their telling campaign cards. This
is one of the subjects upon which the
independent candidate. Yaneey Carter.
wanted to engage in public debate with
Mr., Brown. They have even gotten up
affidavits bearing on, it, and SO far as
appearances go one might just as we'll
try to convince a partisan independents
that black is white, as that this polit-
zeal canard Is unfounded and untrue.
Those who know Mr.. Brown have
never for a moment doubted his party
loyalty, and at the opportune time he
has made good at every point. He has
made numerous friends the result of
his tour of the state, and even among
those who opposed i'm there is grow
ing sentiment that he is going to make
an able executive and a good governor.

CONDITIONS IN AUGUSTA
ARE BAD BUT IMPROVING

Augusta, Ca, September 27.-Though
the flood which, filled the streets Of Au-
gusta several weeks ago has long since
subsidized, the city is still experiencing
great inconvenience because of the re-
sulting conditions.
Rumors of epidemies of suffering among
the poor because of inability to secure
drinking water, of insanitary conditions
which are likely to find an outcome in
disease, are denied by the city officials,
however.
There is no gainsaying the fact, not
withstandng. that the city is passing
through trial which needs the exertion
of every nerve on the part of the author
tiles to overcome.
Not a drop of water has been pumped
into the city reservoir since the flood,
and none can be sent through the pump
ing stations for some days to come. Con-
tractors who have worked ON the canal
from which the power is derived for the
pumping station say operations will be
resumed in few days.
Fire Engines at Work.
Four fire engines have been placed at
pblllls dloAS the savannah river ana
these are throwing water directly into
the city mains. This pressure is suffi-
Gent to send water through faucets on
first floors of buildings and to flush san

not above. This water is not used for
any other purpose, the president of the
board of health having issued a warning
against its use for drinking or cooking
purposes. Even for bathing this water

drinking water is purchased from prl-

owns several springs outside the city and
from these brings a supply into Augusta
and gives 1t away to those in need. The
city has utilized its sprinkling carts to
supply drinking water from artesian
wells. The lee companies are supplying
