WISDOM WHISPERS.

There are some good fish in every
sea.
No crowbar can move things like
ea~nestness.
The place for our light to shine the
brightest is where 1t is needed the
most.
There is always bright side some
where for the man who knows how
to find it.
1t is the thing that is all wool and a
yard wide that the world is always
hunting for.
No man ever built house or made
a dog collar that somebody else didn't
want one just like it.
There is something wrong with the
piety that feels more at home at a
circus than it does in church.
We are very poor If we have moth
ing that will do us any more good
than our money.
The most encouraging thing to the
doctor is that so many of his pa
tients can be cured with bread pills.

the mortal remains Of the chile
whose spirit had forever fed. The
thin, tiny face and the wax-likt
| hands told their own sad story Of
weeks of pain and suffering. The
| child had been i'll some two months
and for about ten days before death
! came he had been considered in prac-
tically a dying condition.
But the little corpse in the little
| white casket was not the only sad
sight in the room. Stripling's wife
sat close to his side, at times holding
| his hands. His children nestled by
his side and at his feet. A little
grandchild, happily unconscious of
the air of tragedy that enveloped the
household, clambered over his knees
and played in childish glee.
The family circle around the fire
side was unbroken, for that night,
save the little corpse in the casket.
And yet everyone knew, everyone
felt, that it would not be so for an
other night-that he who was hus-
band and father to them was to be
taken away with the passage of an
other day.
Thus death, which had robbed the
family circle of a bright little boy,
had exacted double toll of sorrow,
for the fathers coming meant also
the taking away of still another.
This was the thought that was in
everyone's mind, that was uppermost
in eyeryone's consciousness, and yet
was unuttered. 1t was the thought
that made the wife and children un-
consciously draw still closer to the
husband and father who was soon to
be taken from them again 1t was
the thought that caused the devoted
Wife'S eyes to fill, so that when the
freight sprang up suddenly in the
CRATE it revealed the tears that still
glistened there despite her efforts to
be brave for her husbands sake.
Stripling's Wonderful Will Power.
1t seems remarkable that Stripping
should be alive today, he has had
such a chapter of accidents and ill
nesses, and as a matter of fact it was
only his wonderful will power that
kept him going when he was chief of
police at Danville, Va. He came back
to Georgia erect as an Indian, still
the conquerOr of his physical all
ments through sheer will power, but
the past few months have been too
much even for one of his great deter
mination and mental endurance.
Stripling's chapter of mishaps and
injuries is as long as it is remarkable.
Over 20 years ago, while working
at railroad turntable at Americas,
his back was very badly wrenched,
and he still suffers from the injury,
at times acutely.
Later, when a street car conductor,

ATLANTA.-Charged with using
the mails to defraud a man giving
his name as A. G. Tee is under ar
rest here and witnesses against him
are more than 20 young men from
the rural districts of several southern
states, who allege that through cir
culars sent out by Tee they were in
duced to come here to take a course
at an automobile school," which
the claim was not up to specifica-
tons.
Tee, it is alleged, collected fees of
SIS from each of the youths who as
PRED to be expert chauffeurs, but &C
cording to his students his instruc-
lions consisted almost entirely in
carrying them in an automobile for
short rides and allowing one of their
number to sit at the wheel for a
mile, this constituting the sum total
of road Instructions
Tee was arrested by a postoffice
inspector after the scholars had re-
ported the alleged fraud to the post
master.

FOR YOUR HAIR.
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.

Prove at Our Risk.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over we do not believe
that anything can restore hair
growth.
But when the hair roots retain any
life we believe there is nothing that
will so surely promote hair growth
as will Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. To
prove this statement we promise to
promptly return all the money you
pay US for Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
should it not please you.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic destroys
the germs which are usually respon-
sible for badness. 1t penetrates to
the roots of the hair, stimulating
and by promoting circulation nour-
ishing them.
ReXalI "93" Hair Tonic helps to
relieve scalp irritation, to remove
dandruff, to prevent the hair from
falling out, and to promote an in
creased growth of hair. 1t comes in
two sizes, prices SO cents and S1.O0.

When a fireman in Columbus be

cold winter night, when the ground
was frozen hard, and three of his ribs

While working on the Central OF
Georgia railway as fagman he met
with a severe accident at a tunnel 20
miles east of Birmingham. A car
wheel passed over his right foot,
crushing a part of it and breaking
the ankle.
Two or three years ago, in Dan
vile, Stripping stopped runaway
horse, thereby saving from death or
serious injury a lady and children
who were in the buggy, but he him
self Jared i'll, for the horse fell on
him, breaking once more the ankle
which had been fractured in the
accident near Birmingham. The
bone has never knit together per-

that an operation is really necessary.

A year or so ago Stripping was Sc
riously bitten by blue-gummed ne
gro, and the injury not only left a
scar but each spring there is a kind
of eruption there which gives him
much pain.
A number of years ago he had a
severe attack of pneumonia, and from
the effects of this he has never en-
tirely recovered.
1t will thus be seen that it was
only by remarkable will power that
STRIPPING kept going, even when he
was out in the open air, enjoying lib
erty and under no great mental strain
as at present.
''As a matter of fact, have never
had a perfectly we'll day since I was
confined in the jail at Hamilton four
teen years ago. he said.
Authorities Are Kind.
STRIPPING said the authorities at
the state farm treat him kindly and
considerably.
Strtpling's record there has been
excellent. 1t is true he has been sick
much of the time, but he has often
done his work when he was i'll and
the authorities there have found out
that he is no shirker and never gives
up until absolutely unable to walk.
Stripping is extremely grateful to
Governor Slaton for his kindness in
permitting him to come to the bed
side of his dying child and attend the
funeral. The other members of the
family also expressed their gratitude
in the warmest terms, and the gov
ernOr's consideration is fully appre-
ciated by all

During Stripling's stay in the city
numerous friends called on him to
offer their sympathy and encourage
ment and to express the hope that
the peculiar circumstances of his case
will yet influence the authorities to
grant that pardon which will not
only save a human life now being
steadily Slapped by disease, but will
restore a husband and father to a
family that misses him greatly and
needs him very much.
