Language of the Heart.

The language of the heart which comes from the heart and goes to the heart is always simple. graceful and full of power, but no art of rhetoric can teach 1t. It is at once the easiest and most difficult language-dificul since it needs a heart to speak it; easy because it's periods. though rounded and full of harmony, are still un- studied.zBoyee.

The ladies of the several chapters will make an efferot to have Robert E. Lee, Jr., the grandson of General Lee, here to make an address. MT. Lee delivered the oration on the un- yelling of the Jefferson Davis monument at Richmond during the last Confederate reunion there. He was a member of President Roosevelts military staff. The ladies of the local chapters will extend him the invitation and make every effort to get him here.
 The Daughters of the Confederacy will sell tickets to the State Fair this fall to raise money for the Confederate monu- ment to be erected at Arlington ceme- tery. They will sell both season tickets and single admission tickets for Confe1- crate Day They will receive a percent age on all tickets sold by daughters to go on the monument fund.

At the coming convention of the United Daughters of the Confederacy 10 be held in Texas on October 19. each state will give report of funds collected for the cause and the rivalry among the states is very keen.
 The daughters are anxious that the monument shall be completed at the earliest possible moment as there is not a single shaft which speaks of the match less heroism of the Confederate soldiers, to the thousands of American and Euro pean pilgrims who daily visit the historic home of Robert E. Lee. At recent con- vention of the daughters of Alabama each chapter pledged itself to hold day for the collection of funds for the monu- ment

Herzog Thompson Go. Will Open JeWelry Store, Nov. 1.

Ed F. Herzog and Joe G. Thompson, two well-known young business men of Birmingham, will open a jewelry store at 1907 Third avenue, about November 1. For many years they have both been iden- tifed in a very active way with Birming- ham trade, and it Is a foregone concu- sion that they will make quite an i'm presson, as soon as they enter the field on their own account. MT. Herzog, the senior member of the firm was with Bromberg for eight years. Mir. Thomp- son has had charge of the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb jewelry section for a little more than two years, and previous to that was also with Bromberg.
 The new firm will incorporate as soon as these gentlemen return to Birming ham-both of them now being in New York in quest of their opening stock. It is understood that their place will be quite pretentious-bein already planned and contracted to be furnished through out with solid mahogany cases and coun- ters They will cater to every need that comes in the jewery line, carrying im- mense stocks of diamonds and diamond jewelry; gold jewelry. solid and plated silyerware, cut glass, bric-a-brac and fine hand-painted chinas, and other memento and gift goods.
 Both MT. Herzog and MT. Thompson are really high-class, practical men, and will be equally able to care for the en- craving and watch repairing end or the business, as they will be expert in buying and selling.
 The great popularity that they enjoy. both individually and collectively, is a very large capital stock to begin with and the time will be very short before they are among the foremost in their line in the city It is understood that the policy of the new firm will be very az gressive so the public may expect to hear from the Herzog- Thompson com pany soon again, and often afterwards.

 CONTINUE WORK

Mrs. J. Hunnicutt of 0O16 Fourth ave- nue was the victim of a negro snatch thief last night in Kress' store. The negro was a slim, black fellow and succeeded in making his escape. He did his work so quick that those about Mrs Hunnicutt hardly realized what he had done at first
 Tn the pocketbook which he stole was S. 50 in money in addition to number of papers, After reaching the street he sue ceeded in losing himself in the crowd, and although a large number of people tried to catch him it appeared as if the ground had opened and swallowed him. The matter was reported to the authorities and description of the negro furnished to all officers.

Every Man Read
 This

Malarial conditions here in the south materially lessen the strength and enduring capacity of the average man, and woman too. It would seem therefore, that 8 powerful nerve and sys- tenn tonic, such as described would prove of utmost benefit to all those in need of such treat ment.
 This treatment is said to have acquired a wonderful reputation throughout the east, owing to it's peculiar propensity to fortify the nerve force and generate health and consequent personal mag netism, so essential to the happi- ness of every normal human be- ing. It is claimed to be a bless ing to those who are physically impaired, gloomy, Respondent, nervous and who have trembling of the limbs, dizziness. heart pal pitation, cold hands and feet, in- somnia, fear without cause, tim idity In .venturing and general inability to act rationally as oth- CTS do. Also of vast benefit to writers, professional men, office workers and the victims of so- ciety's late hours and over-indul- gence in wines, liquors, etc.
 By preparing the treatment at home secretly, no one need know of another's trouble, while the ingredients are much used in fill- ing various prescriptions, so that even the purchase of them sep arately need occasion no tim idity.
 If the reader decides to try it. get three ounces of ordinary syr- | up sarsaparilla compound, and one ounce compound fluid balm wort; mix and let stand two hours; then get one ounce com pound essence cardiol and one ounce tincture cadomene com pound (not cardamom), mix all together, shake well and take one at night.
 This contains no opiates what ever and may also be used by women who suffer with their nerves with absolute certainty of prompt and lasting benefits.

istration will be taken to task too, for forcing this election on the people at a time when the prohibition laws have not been tested, instead of postponing the election until next fall, by which time everyone could have felt the effect of the new and novel legislation and been in a position to vote with intelligence.
 Amendment is Beaten Today.
 There is no doubt of the fact but that today the amendment is beaten But the fight for votes has just begun, and wheth- CT the scheme will be crushed overwhelm- ingly or whether by only small ma- jority, will depend on how persistent and earnest are the leaders of the two con- tending armies. The battle Is destined to be even more strenuous and more se- rious than that for and against prohibi- ton some months ago. There are ex- ceedingly able men on both sides, and good people are engaged under each ban ner in furthering their respective causes.
 And friends will fall asunder, and the home will be divided against itself.
 And the business interests of the state will continue the groan which has been perpetual since the day of Corners elec- ton, and prosperity which, like fright ened dove is lowering with desire to alight, will be forced to fly again on its wings grown sore and tired.
 And the state treasury stripped within such a short while of the $2,6O0,000 sur plus left behind by William D. Jelks, will continue to give forth hollow echo to the inquiring voice of the people and the solemn plea of tho old soldier.
