I'VE sure that he will have the great

presumably will greet certain hevies

come Of the suggestion Of a western
editor that the colonel return by way
Of San Francisco and tear up the vocal
apparatus Of the country on his way
east. That he could not do because 1t
woGId bring him home too late for his
sons wedding. But he yielded to the
suggestion to the extent Of taking a
later round trip to Cheyenne. Be-
yond these meager details It is given

has taken place during bis fifteen
months absence. and whatever he
does It will keep the country on the
Jump. It Is impossible that his per-
enn1al energies should be bottled.
They will find an outlet, and political
outlet at that. OF late the advlces
have linked his name with an ambi-

We had been the best of friends
ever since. Two days before the we'd
ding he came around from his tailor's,
and we burned all his letters to .ae.
He would read one and say: Here's
crackerjack. Kit" and pass It to
me. And after had read 1t we would
lay 1t on the f1relog. and Jim would
say. Il am not worthy OF her, Kit
wonder IL ] can make her happy?" Or
did you know that the duke OF
Belford proposed to her in London
last winter?"
OF course, one has to take the
womans word about thing like that.
but the duke OF Belford had been
mad about Maude Richard all that
winter.
You can see that the burning of
the letters, which was meant to be
reminiscently sentimental, a sort of
how-silly-we-were-it-is-all-over-now oc-
eulogy of Bella. And Just when l
was bored to death. the Mercer girls
dropped In and heard Jim begin to
read one commencing dearest Kit"
And the next day after the rehearsal

There was very nearly no wedding
at all. Bella came to see me in
frenzy the next morning and threw
Jim and his two hundred odd pounds

It all over and over. she never quite

Journey. and stayed several months.
And when Jim came back he was fat
ter than every. Everybody noticed
It. Bella had a gymnasium fitted up
n corner of the studio, but he would
not use it. He smoked pipe and
painted all day. and drank beer and
would eat starches or whatever 1t is
that is fattening. But he adored
Bella. and he was madly Jealous of
her. At dinners he used to glare at
the man who took her In. although 1t
did not make him thin. Bella was
flirting, too. and by the time they had
been married year. people hitched
their chairs together and dropped
their voices when they were men
toned.
Well, on the anniversary of the day
Bella left him-oh, yes. she left him
finally. She was intense enough about
some things. and she said 1t got on
her nerves to have everybody chuckle
when they asked for her husband.
They would say. Hello. Bellal How's
Bubbles? Still banting?" And Bella
would try to laugh and say. He

and as / say. l am very fond of Jim.
The divorce had just gone through
and Bella had taken her maiden
name again and had had an operation
for appendicitis. We heard after
ward that they didn't find an ap-
pendix. and that the one they showed
her in glass jar was not hers. But
If Bella ever suspected. she didn't
say. Whether the appendix was anon
ymous or not, she got box after box of
flowers that were, and of course every
one knew that it was Jim who sent
them.
To go back to the anniversary,
went to Rothberg's to see the collec-

vERAcITY OF THE BIBLE

One thing cannot fail to impress
every visitor to Bethlehem, and, In
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and a proper sense Of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there. and that is the
more than remarkable correspondence
between the things and places shown
US today as having been associated
with the life and work of the Saviour
and other events that enter into the
structure of our religious faith and
the descriptions and accounts OF them,
as furnished US in the pages OF the
Holy Scriptures They agree with
them in every respect and 1t is i'm
possible, after carefully considering
and comparing them, to doubt their
Identity. SO exactly are they in accord
with the Bible narrative.
The work in the fields, the arrange
ment Of the buildings, the very arti-
cles of diet and clothing OF ancient
days are plainly recognizable in the
doings and surroundings of today. In

FOR STATE TREASURER.

To the People of Georgia:
l hereby announce my candiGac
| for the office of State Treasurer, sub
iect to the democratic white primary
Cf 1910, to be held on a date to be
selected by the state democratic eX-
| ecutive committee.
In making this announcement I
| feel that it is appropriate for me to
say that my services for seven years
in both branches of the legislature
during which time many of the pres
ent laws relating to banks and bank
ing were enacted, and my service at
the same time on the house commit
tee on banks and banking, by which
these laws were considered, has CIV
en- me clear insight into the Geor-
Gia laws concerning banking and fin
ance.
In addition to the foregoing exper-
fence I have been, for fifteen years,
president Of the Elberton Loan &
Savings Bank, in which capacity l
may say | have gained wide practical
experience, concerning the operation
of these laws; and, as result of
which l am in position to recommend
certain improvements in the present
laws which will better safeguard the
interests of the depositors in Geor-
gia's state banks.
If elected to this important posi-
ton, l shall give my every effort to
the faithful discharge of its duties,
to assist me in which l shall secure
the services of trained, expert and
capable assistants.
l respectfully request the favor
able consideration of the democratic
voters of the state.
