POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking in
His Appreciation of the Coun-
try's Statesmen.

There is plenty Of food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital, as is
shown by the following incident which
happened on a Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to crit
icise, was gazing at the advertise
ments which decorate the interior Of
the car. One advertised a new kind
Of collar for men. The dome of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one Of the collars, and on the other
ate and house wings of the build
Ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
of the capitol read, Quarter size,'
and that on the other end said, 1.-TWO
tor a quarter"
The worldly cynical young man
turned to his companion.
That" he remarked, "just about
expresses my opinion of some of
these here congressmen."-Judge.

Matter of Justice.

Where shall justice begin, with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
so that no just cause Of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations Of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting justice
and not enough about doing that
which is just and right. PAY what
thou owest" is the cry most often
heard. Give me that which is my
due, then l will pay you what l owe"

The through trains stop at most OF these
towns, many of which are from two 70 tour
hours run apart AS the engine whistles
and begins TO slow down the dogs OF the
town start in an animated trot for the sta

thing worth seeing; for Texas dogs are chron'
ically lazy.
When the train comes TO a stop the tray'
eler will see the dogs lined up alongside the
dining car, their gaze fixed expectantly on
exactly the proper window; in other words
the kitchen window. They slowly wag then
tails and wait. The chef and his help know
the dogs are there, and presently some
choice scraps of eatableS are thrown OUT
Then there is scramble, and the lucky dog
bolts his treasure at a gulp. 1t is a goou
natured scramble, however,-no hlghtS;
only a few harmless growls and whines.
Before the train pulls out each dog usually
manages to get bite or two. II one gets

1t has been said of the town of Cris-cld, in

is "built on oyster shells and mosquitoes.
AS matter of literal fact it is built in the
water upon the shells of oysters that It's

parts of the United States. When an oyster
is opened at CriStield, its shell goes 20 make

the low, marShy shore of the Chesapeake

room for wide streets, a railroad, steam

 "The press is the vehicle in which the great religious movements of to- day ride. If the masses ar. to be evangelized the press must do its part" he said, land believe l am justified in stating that it is doing so. All papers take an active part in religious movements. The press was fostered by priests and the first manuscripts saved from destruction by these priests.
 Tt was the priests who wrote the A B C's in the dawn of history. and who wrote the story of the cross. Yes, the press and the church are close akin. l hope and believe that the day is coming when the newspa- per man will be what he ought to be the consecrated priest of God.

 Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, Ad- iatant General of the United Sons of Confederate Veterans, and Gen. c. [. Stewart, 8 member of Camp Sterl- ing Pricc, St. Louis, came Over from Memphis Friday To stir up the boys for the Mason Reunion.
 Gen. Forrest recently returned from Macon, and reports that great prep arations are being made there for the entertainme cf the Confederate Re- union in May. They are preparing to take care of 125,000 people. For 't.le first time in the history of the organization, the Sons will be quart cred in camp adjoining that of the veterans, and will get a cot and three meals day for $2, which is ccn- sidered nominal and much better than crowding up in tte hotels.

love's Magnetism.

Love begets love. It is process of induction. Put piece of iron in the presence of an electrified body, and that piece of iron for time becomes electrified. It is changed into a tenn. porary magnet in the mere presence of a permanent magnet; and as long as you leave the two side by side they are both magnets alike. Remain side by side with him who loved us and gave himself for us, and you, too. will become permanent magnet, a permanently attractive force: and. like him you will draw all men unto you; like him, you will be drawn unto all men. That Is the inevitable ef- feet of love. Any man who fulfills that cause must have that effect pro. duced in him.-Henry Drummond.

Advertising has passed from the stage of experiment. and : schennino. It haa become a thor. ouohly necessary adjunct to the success Of any house looking for increased prosperity and wealth.
Goes on Forever.

No one can tell when an advertise. ment ceases to do its work. Instances are known in which copies of old newspapers have been discovered in out.of.the-way places the advertise. ments in which have sold goods. In Dalton. Ga.. recently a local newspa- per received an answer to an adver- tisement that appeared a year ago in that publication. A hardware firm m an eastern city one day received an order for an article that 1t had ad. vertised ten years before, but had not manufactured for nine years. Upon making inquiry it learned that a farm. CT in taking up carpet had found a paper containing an advertisement of the article hidden beneath 1t and had been so impressed with its utility that he immediately wrote for 1t. From which we may conclude that as long as single copy of the ad exists 1t may sell goods.
