held by Senator Terrell will be of
even more value than it is today.
He will then have a large hand in
shaping the personnel of Uncle Sam
force OF postoffice employees in Geor-
gia.
This committee considers all mat
tiers affecting the postoffice depart
ment, the rural free delivery service,
and the big appropriation bill for
the maintenance Of the postal SER
vice. The annual appropriation for
this work exceeds 200,000,000.
Senator Terrell was highly de-
lighted at his treatment at the hands
Of his colleagues, as was Senator
Bacon, member of the steering
committee, who made a strong fight
before the committee for the junior
senator from Georgia.
Il preferred the postoffice com
mtttee to any of the Others" said
Senator Terrell when notified by Sen
ator Bacon of the result ct appeal
ed to me as even more desirable
than the committee on appropriatins,
if it came to a choice between them,
for | believe it will afford me greater
opportunity to be of service to the
people of Georgia"
These assignments are all of i'm
portance, and the new senator will
doubtless be able accomplish
a considerable amount Of good for
Georgia while here.

Coming into town the other day
a friend fell to talking with
his neighbor about what he descrlb-
ed as business methods in the home.
The neighbor pooh-pOohed the use OF
carrying the business viewpoint in
to the family circle; but my trleno,
while admitting this was done all
too seldom, stuck to his point, and
by the time he had fully explained
his meaning most of us were dls-
posed to agree with him.
I'VE men," said my friend, are
apt to forget a woman ought to pc

Yet this very concentration 81 ne

an equipment for her house which is
equally up to date and complete in
its kind, although only so can she in
her domestic sphere produce the best
results"

LION At LARGE ON A SHIP
BEAST INAUGURATED REIGN OF
TERROR AMONG CREW.

Thrilling Experience on a Freight
Steamer That Was Bringing Ami
NAL From India to New York.
The perils of bringing a huge lion
from his lair in India to New York
to be made part of a menagerie is
set forth by the thrilling experience
Of the crew of a German freight
steamer, the Berkenfals, commanded
by Captain Friedrich, which reached
New York from Calcutta a few days
ago.
1t was while the vessel was max
ing for Bermuda that the trouble
began. Fierce winds, almost strong
enough to be digni6ed as hurri-
cane, rocked the steamer from side
TO side. This rolling frightened the
male and female of the big cat fami-
~, and the former exhibited his an
ger by throwing his body against
the wooden bars which held him in
captivity. The interludes between
slams was devoted to roaring that
would make the stOutest heart quail.
Inc Lion did not like to be thrown

none too distinct. An East Indian
sailor was spied splicing a rope, and
Oelore he could stir the lion was on

Death must have been instantaneous

gazing into the face of the dead man
a group of seamen saw him and fled.

rooms usually are colder and more
exposed than others, and if the win
dows are opened everyone is likely
to catch cold. On the other hand,
with the windows always closed the
air becomes unhealthy. What the
wife and children need to keep them

heat surely and quickly whenever
and wherever they want it.
1t is just this need that the Stand

with the Perfection Smokeless Oil
Heater The effort represents years
of experience and costly labor, but
that it has been successful seems
proved by the favorable opinions ex-
pressed of this heater wherever it
has been tried. Even in foreign
countries its usefulness and conven-
fence have gained full acknowledge
ment, and in a recent consular re-
port from the Argentine Republic
to the United States government
special mention is made of the pop
