THE END.
CLIMBING ARAFAT.
Only Seventeen Recorded Ascents OF
the Mount on Which the Ark Rested.

Only Seventeen Recorded Ascents OF
the Mount on Which the Ark Rested.
Ararat is not a mountain that Is
climbed every day, or even every year.
Seventeen ascents have been recorded
saws the Wide World. and there Is no
reason to suppose that any have es-
capped notice.
When James Bryce. unaccompanled'
made his remarkable ascent in 1876
he was told by every one whom ne
met in the vicinity of the mountain
that the top had never been reached
and what was more. that it never
could be.
Jinns and fiends and giants had pre-
vented the rascally KurdS from even
attempting to scale the terrible noun
tain, and since the Ark grounded
there mortal man had not been al
lowed to trespass on the sacred
heights he was informed. Had not
st. Hagop tried again and again to
reach the summit in order to silence
the sceptics about the Ark? But
found himself each morning on wax
ing. quietly deposited at the base,
whence he started. Finally an angel
presented him with a piece of the Ark
for his pains. but told him to cease
his attempts to reach the forbidden
ground.
That was i'm the fourth century OF
our era. but the piece of the Ark is
still to be seen at the monastery or
the Eitchmaidsin. where dwells the
Catholics of the Armenian church.
That Russians. or stray lone En-
glishman. had really reached the top
of Ararat was not to be thought Of
Times have changed during the last
thirty years. even at the base OF
Ararat The railway now goes skim
ming along the great waste Of the
Garden of Eden. the Cathogcos or
head of the Armenian church, who
dwells in eight of the snow dOmed
mountains is an enlightened man
who presses electric buttons, turns
switches and gives audience near a
table covered with ilypaper, and the
Kurds. though they will not venture
for more than two miles up are will
ing to admit that other people have
braved the jinnS for the third mile
and the still more difficult surplus.

A Touch of Human Nature Amid the
Horrors of War.

A Touch Of Human Nature Amid the
Horrors of War.
out of the midst Of the bloody hor-
rors Of the battle of Fredericksburg
comes a sweet and touching incident
which goes to prove that the rage or
battle cannot obliterate the tenderness
dwelling in the hearts of men. The
story is taken from Major Robert
Stiles -Four Years Under Massa Rob-
ert." The Federal army was entering
the town, shot was flying in all direc-
tions, and Buck, Confederate SOL
dier, was peering round the corner Of
house.
A little three -year-old, fair haired
baby girl toddled out Of the alley, ac-
companied by a Newfoundland dog,
and in the midst of the kissing shells
chased a cannon ball down the street
Buck ground his gun, dashed out
into the storm and swung his great
right arm round the baby. Then he
ran after his company, the little one
clasped to his breast.
The company took refuge behind the
stone wall which has now become his
toric, and there for hours and days OF
terror the baby was keut. Fierce
nurses took turns in petting her
while the storm of battle ragged
and shrieked. Never was a baby so
cared for and scouts secured the
countryside to get her milk.
When the struggle was over and the
Federal army had left the company
behind the wall received the post OF
honor i'm the van to lead the column
into the town. Buck stood about IN
the middle Of the regiment, the baby
i'm his arms. There was a long halt,
and the brigade staff hurried to and
fro. The regimental colors were not to
be found.
Suddenly Buck sprang to the front.
He swung aloft the baby girl, her lit
tie garments futtering like the folds
of a banner, and shouted:
Forward, men of the Twenty-frst!
Here are our colors!"
off started the brigade, cheering

235 DUCKTOWN CASES
HAVE BEEN SETTLED
Gober & Griffin Reach an
Agreement for Clients
in Regard to Fumes.

A batch of 235 cases against the
Ducktown Copper Company, suits
in which Gober & Griffin were en-
ployed, have been settled. Judge
Gober concluded the settlement this
week.
The fumes from the copper smelt-
ers have damaged forests and crops
in that vicinity for many years.
Judge Gober was employed by a
large number of landowners and
has fought a hard fight for them.
This week 235 cases were settled
the property owners, citizens Of Fan
min and Gilmer counties, receiving
more than they expected in dam
ages, and more than Judge Gober
told them he could probably obtain.
There is also an agreement that the
smelters are not to be over-worked
during the glowing season. 1t has
been overcrowding them that has
produced the fumes that damaged
vegetation. A sworn report of the
output is to be made to the Attor-
ney General each month and the
effect is to be tested.
Gober q Griffin have a number of
other cases that are yet to be passed
upon.

COLONEL \. B. MOSS
HAS TILT WITH JUDGE
Former Legislator Goes to
Jail at Canton Rather
than Pay $40 Fine.

Colonel H. B. Moss, of Marietta,
was the storm center of a sensation
at Canton Tuesday, when Judge
Morris ordered him to Jail for five
days for contempt of court The
Colonel did not serve the full five
days, because his partner, Colonel
Motley, paid a fine which the Judge
had imposed, and he was set at
liberty.
Colonel Moss went to Jail for
principle rather than pay a fine
which he did not believe was right,
and which was paid later without
his knowledge.
The case of Mrs. Marietta Thomp-
son, of Smyrna, suit for divorce
against Jesse NJ. Thompson, of
Cherokee, was on trial. Colonel
Moss represented Mrs. Thompson
and Colonel w. D. Mills repre-
sented Mr.. Thompson. Colonel
Moss, in questioning Mrs. Thomp-
son, brought out the fact that she
and her husband had lived together
after the events complained of in
the divorce petition.
Judge Morris took a hand, and
asked Mrs. Thompson further ques-
tons, as did Colonel Mills, and the
judge directed that a decree against
the divorced be prepared. He d.
rected Colonel Moss to draw it up.
The Colonel refused to do so, saying
he had never prepared a verdict
against his own client and he never
would. Judge Morris fined him $40
for contempt of court. He refused
to pay the fine and was ordered to
Jail.
While the Colonel occupied the
Bastile he got busy with other
counsel preparing a writ of habeas
corpus and an appeal. Meantime
Colonel Motley paid the fine and
Colonel Moss was released He
returned to Marietta Wednesday.

produce wool suitable for the blankets.
The data sought may guide in the
