Magic Theft.

Former Commissioner Bingham, of
New York, at a dinner described in a
most interesting manner the methods
of the skilled pickpockets, says the
Washington Herald.
He is so very clever at his best, "
concluded the commissioner, that
one might almost believe him capable
of the feat attributed to Western
stevedore.
"A group of stevedores were lunch
ing in a sheltered nook of wharf.
One of them went across the street for
a plug of chewing tobacco, and in his
absence another substituted for his
tin of coffee and milk his own tin OF
milkless coffee.
when the first stevedore, plug in
hand, returned, he could hardly be-
lieve his eyes.
We'll he said, I've heard of clev-
er thieves, but to swipe the milk out
of feller's coffee beats the band

THE CENTER OF INTEREST.

The Americas Highway viii soon be
on the tongue of every tourist who
comes this way Andersonyille, with
its historic surroundings that interest
the Northern tourist especially, viii
serve to add another point Of unusual
interest to this route.
AS for the good roads Of Sumter
county, there is but little that can 1e
said that has not already been spok-
en-. Wherever Sumter county is
known, it's good roads are a synonym
of its vigorous and aggressive pros
perity. The hotel accommodations and
general environments here in Ame:-
icus and throughout this county and
section are unsurpassed.
The stranger who comes for the first
time to this section is carried away
with wonder at the progress and ad-
vancement that has been made here.
All Of South Georgia has advanced
with rapid strides during the past de-
cade, but Sumter county has fairly
outstripped itself. 1t has grown more
rapidly even than many Of the younger
and more recently settled counties.
The Board of Trade has met the
issue brought by the naming of the
Central Route fer the National High
way in a straight and business-like
manner. 1t is a case of where Amer
icus need not be hurt, unless it per
mits itself to be injured The plaza
of the Board Of Trade to advertise the
Observation-Disclosures Route ye~y
extensively, so as to attract tourists
this way is a most worthy one.
1t is time for all the people Of
Americas, individually and collective
ly, to boost their home city on every
possible occasion. There are SO many
attractions for tourists and others that
We can assure them that we have the
real highway 1t matters little whether
they come part of the way on the Ma
tional Highway, for they are sure to
come to Americas on the journey.
Americas and Andersonville are just
as surely on the route of the tourist
as if they had been nominally in
cluded on the highways line.
Let every citizen join in with the
Board of Trade to make Americas the
Tourists Center.

Peace? When have we prayed for
peace?
Over US burns a star
Bright, beautiful, red for strife.
Yours are only the drum and the fife,
And the golden braid and the surface
of life.
Ours is the White-hot war,
Peace When have We prayed for
peace?
Ours are the weapons OF men!
Time changes the face Of the world;
Your swords are rust and your flags
are furled;
And ours are the unseen legions
hurled
Up to the heights again.
Peace When have We prayed for
peace?
Is there no wrong to right,
Wrong crying to God on high?
Here where the weak and the helpless
die,
And the homeless hordes Of the city go
by,
The ranks are rallied tonight!
Peace When have We prayed for
peace?
Are you so dazed with words?
Earth, heaven, shall pass away
Ere for your passionless peace We
pray.
Are We deaf to the trumpets that call
US today,
Blind to the blazing swords?

y THE WOMAN WHO TURNED
y BACK THE HANDS OF TIME

CBy Frances L. Gorside)
1t happened once upon a time, that
a woman reached the age of forty-fve
without having had time since she was
twenty to realize that the passing OF
the years was making her old.
There was a husband and children
to care for, and the years, with their
burdens and their thoughts for others,
flew so rapidly that if a crow left
tracks around her lips and eyes, if her
hair faded and came out, if her figure
lost the gracefuIness Of early woman
hood, she didn't find it out.
How could she with her mind always
occupied with the wants of family
Her husband had gone to his office
one day, and the children, who had
grown out of school and were employ
ed down town, were also at work, and
she was alone when the shock of her
years came to her.
Any woman past 40" she read in a
newspaper interview with A Woman
Who Kept Young, who doesn't give
herself a great deal of care, looks to
be sixty. She must fight to remain
attractive"
The woman read further and learned
that the woman in the interview had
gone back twenty years nearer TO
youth by using cold creams, by mas
saying and by filling her mind with
Beautiful Thoughts before she fell
asleep at night
Back to Childhood.
One day, the father and children
came home and, when they opened the
door, their first impression was that
they were in the wrong house, for
there was no CHEEKY smell of supper
cooking, no rafting of pans, none Of
the inspiring hustle that accompanies
the getting of a meal.
They looked in the kitchen. 1t was
dark and empty. No one was in the
dining room; but, in the parlor they
found a strange looking creature with
the form of an adult and the face of a
child, and in her arms, this half-old,
alf-young person held a doll.
I'm mother" said this strange crea-
ture. I've knocked twenty years more
off my age, and now I am only iye!"

The center of population is four
and a half miles south Of Unionville,
Monroe county, Indiana, according
to a census bureau announcement.
Since 1900. when it was SIX miles
southeast of Columbus, Ind, it has
moved thirty some miles westward
and seven-tenths of mile north
ward.
The eastward movement was more
than twice that of the lS9O-l9OO
decade. This acceleration is attrib-
uted by the census officials primer
pally to the growth of the Pacific
and southwestern states.
The geographical center of the
United States 10 in northern Kan
sas, so that the center of population,
therefore, is about $50 miles east Of
the geographical center.
