The hot Afternoon sun blazed pitilessly
into the big window of a work-room Of
the penitentiary, in which the work of
harness-making was going forward.
In the crowd of sullen crime-stained
faces there was one who looked like an
angel fallen among devils. His face was
one upon which nature had used her fin
est tools; clear as a cameo, with the mas
sive delicacy of an ancient sculpture, tie
resemblance was heightened by the pris.
on pallor, more marked on the clear, fine
skin than on the coarser ones of his fel
low prisoners. He was not 50 heavy as
some but the fine muscles and nervous
steel-like hand showed wonderful power.
He worked over the heavy pillow harness
with chain tugs with a deft and singular
skill; the skill of brain united to that of
mechanical and mathematical exactness.
The dark gray eyes glanced under their
long lashes across a dozen feet of space
to where a man was at work-a short
thick-set man, with a common face of no
distinctive features, good or bad; this
man watched Gerald Soule.
The overseer stood by a window, his
attention diverted outside a moment. 81
lence was unbroken save for the sounds
of industry; the sultry air grew hotter.

few years was supposed to be incur

pronounced it local disease and

stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.

constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

HIS METER.

New York SUM
When Henry Spriggs was but lad
A circus came to town,
And Henry ran away with it
TO learn TO be clown.
But soon he found apprenticeship
AS hard as was the fare.
And so he joined an aeronaut
To learn to fly the air.
The aeronaut was killed one day
Ere Henry learned the ropes,
And then he joined the army, filled
With military hopes.
They shipped him to the PHILIPPINES,
The climate was too hot,
And he was inyalided home
Before he fired a shot.
He tried to study medicine,
But found it hurt his head;
So thereupon he promptly switched
Into the law instead
But Blackstone proving somewhat
slow,
He quickly let it drop
To run an elevator;
After that he was cop.
Book canvasser he next became;
Then sold soap in a store.
All told he tried his prentice hand
At twenty things or more.
And having thus equipped himself
In many matters you'll
Admit it fitting he should run
A correspondence school.

THE UNPARALLELED PROSPERITY
OF GEORGIA.

Georgia, with one hundred and sixty
millions of dollars in its bank vaults,
is an inspiring picture of material
success. A year ago the deposits We're
but half this amount. The increase
represents the difference between
high-priced cotton, with crop below
the average, and lower priced cotton
in greater quantity. 1t also represents
the difference between the closing
days of a panicky period and the open
ing days of an era Of expected greater
progress and prosperity than the state
has ever known before.
Georgia this year is distinctly on
velvet. And South Georgia is more
particularly so than any other section
of the state When the full returns
are in and the figures are all analysed
it will probably be found that by far
the greater portion of that additional
eighty millions of deposits represents
the thrift and prosperity of this sec
ton of the state, of the vast agricul-
tural district south of line drawn
from Augusta to Columbus. In this
section the crops have been at their
best. Here the cotton crop showed
less depreciation in quantity and in
quality than elsewhere. Here, too, the
corn crop, and the oats crop, and
probably other crops as we'll, sur
passed anything known before Out
of this providential blessing has come
the vast increment that bulges out the
sides of the bank vaults and makes
the country at large sit up and listen
to the story of what Georgia has done
and is likely to do.
1t is a magnificent showing. It's
PRONUNCIATION from one end of the
country to the other will do much to
center attention on Georgia. This
state already enjoys an enviable repu-
tation for the solidity of it's financial,
industrial and commercial institutions
generally. 1t has an enviable record
extending back over many years. That
record can be made even brighter in
the future if we will avoid a return
to corporation batting politics, keep
passion and prejudice to the rear, well
come outside capital that niay seek in
vestments here, and keeping our heads
clear and our hearts clean move on 10
new and grander conquests in the
world of affairs.
And in that future South Georgia
is destined to play the most impor-
tant part BY virtue of its vast virgin
domain, to be opened and filled up by
Intelligent white farmers in the next
decade, by virtue of the enterprise,
thrift and general progressiveness of
its people, by virtue of the adaptable
ity of its soil and the charms of its
climate, this vast section of georgia,
almost an empire in itself, is intended
to play vastly important part in
the future growth of the state. While
that progress in material things is
in evolution South Georgia must pro-
mote its educational and other up
lifting institutions as well. Religious
and intellectual culture must go hand
in hand with material wealth if we
are TO make this part of Georgia what
it should be, one of the most desirable,
as it is one of the most favored, Sec
tions of earth for the home where
thrift, sobriety and virtue are en-
throned, and whose sons reap rich re-
ward from the exercise of those noble
qualities.
