BRAVE GIRL.

For her bravery in hewiDg her family
out of the ruins OF their stormwrecked
house, a Carnegie hero medal is to be
asked for Is year.old Mamie Price, who
lives near Bowden, GA. The storm
struck the Price home last Friday night,
wrecked 1t, and buried all its inmates In
the debris, except the girl. She got an
axe and guided by the cries Of the VIC
tins and q lantern, she began to cut
them out. Mrs. Price died as the girl
cut the last timbers from abOut her,
but she rescued her baby and younger
slater practically unhurt. Her father
was held by heavy beams, but his most
serious hurt was the crushing Of bis left
arm. The girl cut away the timbers
from the body Of her father, but the
msngled arm was still held. Price
realizsd that the arm was lost aud that
it was only held by sheds Of skin aud
flesh, 30 he told the girl to sever the rest
with an sxe. The child objected, bat
when the father insisted she brought
down the axe and Price was free. Un-
der her fathers direction, the child
made q tourniquet to stop the loss OF
blood, then went through the darkness
for assistance. Price will recover. A
handsome memorial will be given the
girl by citizsns OF BoWdeD.

cIeyeland ana Life Tnsurance.

Nothing In his public career gave Mr..
Cleveland greater satisfaction than the
relation that he bore, in his closing
years, to life insurance, He was not
astonished at the revelations first made
in the Hyde-Alexsnder quarrel and con-
firmed and increased by the Armstrong
conmitte. Tie looked upon them as nat
mal and to be expected, AT the same
time, he never exaggerated their extent.
He considered these developments the
natural result Of government favoritism.
If he had presumed to analyze them
i'm their first and last effect, he would
have said that they were the outward
sign Of an inward condition produced by
our system Of tariff taxes.
On the evening Of June 9, 1905, I was
called to the telephone by Mr. Thomas
r. Ryan, who read to me letter which
he had written TO Mr.. Cleveland inviting
him to accept the trusteefip Of the
controlling stock Of the Equitable Life
Assurance society. / was able from per-
sonal knowledge to assure Mr. Cleveland
that Mr.. Ryan had purchased the Equit-
able stock out Of hand from his own
ample resources; that he sought to avert
great public peril, and neither to make
nroft nor to exert financial power
and that these were the dominating rea-
sons for his acts in purchasing and trus-
teeing the stock
When convinced of the disinterested-
ness Of all concerned, he consented to
accept the trust, and authorized me to
telephone his decision to New York

q a Farmer,s rugt Necessary

The fact that farmer or shipper to.
day stands a better chance Of getting
an honest return on his goods is mainly
owing to two causes which are quite
apart from a higher standard OF COM
mereial morals on the street; compul-
sion, not conversion to a higher code,
has driven the average commission mer-
chant from the old line Of undisguised
fraud to more refined and less oblivi-
Gus methods Of whipping the devil
around the stump" The causes which
have done most to bring about this
compulsory improvement in the meth
DDS Of commission merchants are or
ganization on the part Of the growers
and shippers, and the passage and en-
forcement Of corrective legislature in
the various states. These agencies are
still in an almost infantile state Of de-
velopement, they have gone far enough

principle Of cooperation, but they are,
as yet, no match for the seasoned cum

changed his place Of residence in an
effort to evade identification after be
had picked up 1887 lost by P A. Gar

Of his age. He and his nephew by mar.
rage, James w. Helms Of East St.

money was found and took half Of the
sum, have been released.
Police Captain Pickel says Garneau
called at the station and said he did nor
care to prosecute Kline, owing to his
age. Kline is sixty-three. AS Helms
and Kline were equally concerned IN
the case, both must be prosecuted or
neither. Capt. Pickel therefore ordered
both released.
Mr.. Garneau recovered all his money
except 5000. which Helms spent. Kline
had spent only 3 dime--for clean
