responsibility that rested upon her as
the wife of minister, and was de-
termined by the help of God to do her
part. She manifested bright, hope
full and cheerful spirit at all times,
carrying good cheer into the homes
of the people. No harsh or unkind
word was ever received from her by
husband or friend. When the earthly
life of her little babe went out, she
said, "How glad would have been
could l have kept him, but it is al.
right" The separation, however,
was brief, for mother and babe are
united in Heaven. Full of good works;
she has passed from labor to reward,
where she "rests from her labors and
her works do folio her" The loving
daughter, the affectionate sister, the
devoted wife, the interested aud min
isteriug friend of the parish has gone
to her crown.

Saauinu at Shoulders.

Are you letting yourself sag a bit
at the shoulders? Don't, If you want
to keep either young or well. There
is nothing so fatally easy as to grow
round-shouldered. Keep a sharp watch
on yourself to prevent It.
Each morning stand up against the
jamb Of a door and see II you have
begun to sag. Also walk around your
room each day with piece of broom
stick or short umbrella under each
arm and brought across the back. This
keeps the chest up and head well
poised.
Deep breathing exercises, whenever
you think of them, will help ward of
those round shoulders, also making a
practice to wall with the chest up.
This last is the simplest of all preven-
tives, for II It is always practised the
rest will follow.

Tablets Found In Ruins Ct Babylon
Cast Insight Into Life of Old
Community That Is Most
Interesting.


That among the ancient BabylonI
ans, 5000 years b. c., there were law.
yers of rare ability, real estate men OF
more than ordinary sh"ewdress in
driving and clinching a be 'gdin and
craftsmen with great ingenuity and
pride in their work is the opinion Of
Eugene F. Ware. lawyer, poet and
"Kansan."
In an address before the real estate
men of Kansas City some time ago Mr..
Ware made the statement that as long
as 5000 years ago men were dealing
In real estate and that those men
were as energetic traders and as keen
i'm their transactions as the real estate
dealers of to-day. says the Kansas
City Star.
Mr. Ware explained the result Of his
research into the history of the Baby
onians which has caused him to form
this opinion. While travelling In Eu-
rope several years ago he came upon
number Of clay tablets at the Louvre
in Paris. The tablets are specimens
uncovered by excavators who we're
searching for records of the ancient
Babylonians. Several thousand of
them have beer found in the city Of
Nippur, capital Of the ancient Babylo-
nian state of that name. Nippur was
one of the largest cities Of Babylonia,
situated on the banks Of canal con-
Meeting the Tigris and Euphrates riv-
ers. The city was famous as the seat
of worship of the god Bel, chief deity
of the Babylonian pantheon.
A tablet owned by Wr Ware is
replica of one in the Louvre. II re.
sembles nothing so much as a cake of
toilet soap. In color It is pure white
and is covered with letters of the
cunelform alphabet. The Baylonians
used tablets similar to the one owned
by Mr.. Ware for all their writing, and
on these recorded deeds, leases and
other real estate transactions. The
tablets were made of white clay very
much like that used by modern sculp-
tors. They varied in size from speci-
mems as small as a pea to others the
size of bushel basket. They were
made by men who probably occupied
the same position In the Babylonian
business world as our modern public
stenographers c.. A lawyer would go
TO one of these scriveners on the
street corners, dictate his brief TO him
and the "stenographer in clay" would
write on the tablet with a three.cor-
nered stick. The tablet was then
baked in a charcoal oven and was
ready for use. The writing on the tab.
lets was first translated by Sir Henry
Rawlinson in 1854
The tablet owned by Mr.. Ware re-
cords a transaction between a jeweler
and real estate man. The real es-
tate man purchased a gold ring with
an emerald from the jeweler and the
tablet records the sale and contains
the jewelers. guaranty OF the ring for
20 years.

The Slippery Pronoun.

Many are the circumlocutions which
have been devised by civilized races in
order to avoid the bluntness of direct
address. In fact, 1t may be said that
at the moment when a nation standard
ICES its language it begins to have
trouble with its pronouns.
Thou" has, OF course, become OBJ
solete, except in prayer, although II
flourishes colloquially In the north OF
England. The second person. plural is
substituted, In parts of the south
"you-all" is heard, a further step
toward refined elusiveness.
In France and Germany thou" has
been retained in familiar or semi-con,
temptuous speech. In Spain and Italy,
on the other hand, the third person is
substituted habitually in place Of it.

On Monday the trial started on its
fourth week. DR.. II. a. Hoppe, of
Cincinnati, was called to the stand
The doctor is an instructor in the

opinion the defendant was sane
and not an eplipetic After the noon

Have you a last years white linen

this summer? If So follow one OF the
latest ideas from Paris, and introduce
bit OF color by using oolored ere.

of 1t will be sufficient. Perhaps you
will need to make only new set OF
cuffs, and possibly an adjustable shawl

at your pleasure.
Then, again, you could introduce a

Whose Faulty

We talk SO much, and we think so
much more, OF the trouble we have
with others, that we more than half
persuade ourselves that II everybody
else were just right, We could get on
easily in life, but the fact is that more
than half OF all our troubles, even of
our troubles with others, grow out OF
our own faults and our own failures
and not the faults and failures OF
other people. Until we get rid Of our.
selves, or until we are lifted above
all selfish thought Of ourselves, there
is continual trouble for us, however
other people bear themselves. -

passing one With the new roads one
would have to go far from Florala TO
be without its pale of influence. There
IS no question about it, this land must
increase many times in value within
the next five years, and the man who
takes advantage OF present prices
must reap the benefit, both figurative-
~ and literally.
The climate of Florala is par eX-
ceHence 1t is just sufficiently high to
guarantee cool days and nights, and
it is just far enough south to escape
the rigorS of frost or severe cold. One
never experiences extremes OF tenn
perature in Florala, and settled in the
midst of a piney woods, enjoys all the
health-giving properties of soft winds
laden with spicy ozone. Being in
close proximity to the Gulf of Mex
leo, FlOrala is also swept by sea
breezes.
The assessed valuation of the prop
erty within the corporate limits
amounts to about S350,000, which in
reality means one million doilars-a
fine showing for so young a town.
The tax rate is fixed by law and
placed at a minimum of one-half of
one per cent.
The three roads entering Florala
give to the city train service of
twelve trains a day, all irst-class in
every respect and running on a con-
venient schedule This service places
orala in an enviable position, as to
the receiving and shipping of merchan-
disc
