A physician who has had much trou-

Systematic Writing.

All busy women know the value of
system, and every busy woman should
systematic her daily tasks.
In the matter Of letter writing many
women are great procrastinators.
They persistently leave important let
tiers unanswered until the last pos
sible moment, and then have to write
a hurried note, often forgetting to
take up important subjects for dis
cussion.
The best way to do is to have one
day or evening set apart for weekly
letter writing. One woman reserves
Tuesday morning for this purpose,
and she allows none but the most
pressing duties to interfere with her
writing.
While reading a letter she will jot
down any particular thing she wants
to mention in the reply on the back of
the envelope, place it in the letter
rack on her desk and when Tuesday
comes has all the weeks correspond
enoe ready for answering before her.
If during the interim of the receipt
and answering of a letter she thinks
of any point she wished discussed,
that, too, is noted on the envelope.
With this system letter writing is a
real pleasure-one that is looked for
ward to every week with keen inter
est.

tryst with him she should not present
a shiny tip. The woman sitting next

car. The woman with the shiny nose
felt certain II she surreptitiously tried
to extract her powder rag from her
purse and dabble her tip with Il the
woman at her side would glare hor-
ribly. But as her street drew near
she determined to risk It anyhow and
trust to Providence that quick dab
would accomplish the desired result.
She dabbed--blindly and hurriedly.
But the woman saw her. She could
feel the glare turned IN her direction.
Then, to her infinite amazement, the
woman whipped open her reticule and
extracted a small mirror. This she
handed to her neighbor with an nm
derstanding smile. Better take II,
my dear-there's COB Of powder on

The Horse PedOmeters.

The whorls OF hair on the coats OF
horses and other animals are natural
pedometers, inasmuch as they regis
ter the locomotive activities OF the
animals on whose bodies they are
found
The best examples and the greatest
number of these hairy whorls and
crests are found on the domestic
horse.
A study of the action of the under
lying muscles explains the origin OF
these peculiarities in the lay Of the
hair and furnishes the Justification for
calling them pedometers, although tho
analogy is, Of course, merely super
flcial.

POSSIBLY TOO MUCH FOR HER
Man Should Have Recognized That
There Are Limits Even to
Fairy's Power.

Once upon a time a man who lived
out Bloomfield way did an unusual
service for a fairy queen. don't re-
member exactly what it was; perhaps
he stepped into drift to let her pass.
At any rate she said to him in graft
tude:
"Sir, for your kindness / viii re-
ward you by granting you three wish
es. Name what you desire most in
all the world and it shall be yours"
The man who lived out Bloomfield
way thought armoment He ought
have lived out South Orange way or
down Elizabeth way or over Arlington
way, but it happened that he dwelt out
Bloomfield way, and as this is a true
story, l must tell it exactly as it was.
He thought a moment, and then ne
thought another moment, making two
moments all told, after which he said:
Il wish people would quit eating
peanuts in the street cars. 1t gives
the cars such a vegetable air, and
besides, it is very harmful, for, as you
know, people should have cheerful sur
roundings at meals"
On hearing this request the fairy
queen vanished in a fash of fame
with deafening report, and tie next
time the man got aboard a car to go
to his home out Bloomfield way, the
passengers were still eating peanuts
and the car had a breath.
This teaches us that fairies are not
all they are cracked up to be.-New-
ark News.

Preacher Will Permit
Smoking in Church

Atlanta, July 20. Believing
that the male mind is more sus-
ceptible to good influences when
surrounded by a gentle haze Of
tobacco smoke, the Rev. w. w.
Memminger has decided to per-
nit smoking in the Parish House
Of All Saints Church when he
breaches to men.
For the first timein the history
of Atlanta, and probably in Geor
gia, the confirmed smoker can
now enjoy his after. dinner cigar
and hear a sermon at the same
time. Anybody who prefers to
smoke a pipe can bring his pipe
along and smoke in peace. The
cigars will be furnished.

What Was the Meaning
OF This Admission I!

Atlanta, July 20. What was
the meaning of Hon. Hooper Al
exander's admission that he
didn't believe the Tippins bill
would pass over the governor $
veto? That is the question agl-
tating members of the legislature
at the capital this morning. Was
it simply a case of extraordinary
frankness, or was it a shreWd
political move? Was it an effort
of Mr.. Alexander to make GER
tain that the whole blame, if
blame attaches, for the defeat of
the measure, shall rest on the
governors shoulders? Is Mr..
Alexander counting on the senti-
ment said to be strong in the ru-
raj counties in favor of the Tip
pins bill, with the view of put
ting himself forward later as the
logical opponent of Joe Brown
candidate for governor? All
these questions are being asked,
but nobody seems to know the
answer.

to a telegram announcing the
death Of their daughter, Mrs.
John Smith.
Mrs. Smith was for a number

of friends, to whom her death
will be a sad blow. Besides her
husband Mrs. Smith is survived

Tippins Measure
Returns to House

Atlanta, July 25.-The rapid-fire
action of the senate yesterday in
putting through the Tippins bill was
the absorbing topic in the capital
gossip yesterday.
Since the bill cannot be returned
to the house, where it originated,
until today, it is figured that it can
not reach the governor before Fri
Friday at earliest, and probably not
before Saturday.
The governor then has five days,
Sundays excepted, in which to act
on the bill and return it to the house.
If he wishes, therefore, he need not
finally act upon it before August 1,
or 2, depending on whel her the bill
gets to him Friday or Saturday.
Already the governor has been
urged by friends of the bill on one
hand to approve it, and by its oppo-
nents to veto it. AS to what he will
do he has given no sign.
Nevertheless, the impression seems
to have gone abroad that he will We
to it, and the house will not vote to
override the veto, which would mean
the defeat of the bill.
1t requires 1913 votes in the house
or a two-thirds majority Of all the
members, to override the governors
Veto
The bill received 1919 votes in that
body when it passed, but its oppo-
nents claim that a sufficient num-
Der of members who voted for the
bill have stated that they would not
voteI to override the governors ad-
verse action, in the even the should
veto it.

Atlanta, Ga, July 20. The an
nouncement of w. H. BurWell, of
Hancock, for the speakership of
the Georgia house. has occasion
ed no surprise, He has for some
time been considered by many as
the natural successor TO John N.
Holder. Mr.. Burwell has served
actively for years in both house
and senate, and service on various
important committees has given
him a thorough knowledge of the
procedure and machinery of the
legislature. He has already es-
tablished his position as leader
and parliamentarian, and his
friends have gone actively to
work in the interest Of his cam
paign.

CUTTING DOWN THE
PEACH ORCHARDS

Americas, July 20. While the
sale of the peach crop, locally,
this season was disappointing to
some orchardmen in the Amerl-
Gus territory, it does not mean
the entire abandonment OF the
peach business and destruction OF
the orchards here, although
many fine trees will be cut down
and perhaps less attention given
hereafter to fruit shipping. This
is particularly true as to the
Whittle orchard Of 5000, 600 trees.
one Of the largest in the world.
J. D. Whittle, the owner, de-
clares his intention of cutting
down the entire orchard and
planting the 900 or 700 acres OF
fine land to corn, oats and cotton
next year. From seventy three
carloads of peaches shipped north
this season he realized, net, about
$1,000, which he does not consid-
err adequate returns upon the IN
vestment when it is considered
that the peach crop is very I'M
certain one, probably two good
crops in five years, upon the av-
erage.
Other orchardmen here report
exceedingly poor net returns up
on carload shipments, one reallz-
ing but Is cents per crate for his
finest fruit. One large orchard
here of 100, 900 trees is reported to
have made from ST., 1000 to $15,-
900 this season.
The success Of this orchard =
the Raymond-is due to the fact
that the earliest choice peaches
were rushed to market long be-
fore there was a glut of fruit,
thereby obtaining top prices.
This orchard also made
some shipments of peaches to
Cuba and with very satisfactory
results. it is said.
One serious difficulty confront
ing growers here is that 80 to &C
per cent. of the trees are Elber-
has. which ripen the last of July.
A late peach, it is put upon the
market at q time when
there is a flood of peaches
from every section of the
fruit belt. 1t is the experience
of growers here, as fully demon
strated in the results of the Kay
mond and Carolina orchards, that
the earlier varieties only can be
shipped profitably- the Carmens
and Hilly Bellies, which ripper

The senate stands today Republican
