Here another little picture for readers to think about.
At first glance you will pity the with the staff walking

flying along in a motor.
But the reality may be very different.

And doesnt matter how slowly you walk how tired you
may be.
The important question is HOW MUCH DO YOU SEE AND
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK as you go along?

rich and prosperous motorst flying along FOR THE SAKE OF
FLYING without thought his mind except bssul APP

Some of made happy by constant pity and worry
about others.
Very often we knew the whole truth would know that
the man we pity is the should envy and vice
If in his automobile thoughtful man, TAX
ing for himself and his family legitimate good
work and the foot is although poorer earnest and
thoughtful and ambitious and determined spite of
confederation both are happy
If the the automobile merely rich self indugent

Successes of Present Day
Pygmies Compared to
Ancestors.

The most successful in the arts
or professions or trades are pyg-
mics, put beside men and women
who have lived in other eras.
There is nothing which we can
with any reason pride ourselves
upon having done or been to the
extent of holding our heads above
our fellows. Whatever our achieve
ments, we need to feel humility
in the presence of THE GREAT
ALL~MIGHTY CREATOR OF THE
UNIVERSE.
We need to walk softly and
speak kindly, and be patient and
helpful; and we need TO talk much
of the good qualities OF others and
little Of our own.
This young man, quite possibly,
brought all his troubles on him
self by trying to impress upon his
associates how very much more
moral and refined and delicate he
is than they.
He needs to develop some 70
bust qualities
He needs to turn his thoughts
out toward his fellows, and not in
upon his own good self so con-
tinually.

We Should Do Good to
Those We Know De-
spise Us.

Let him do good to those who
despitefully use him, and speak
pityingly of those who lie about
him. even If he keeps away from
their society.
And let him forget all his trou-
bles, which are mainly imaginary.
No lasting or serious harm can
come to any one who fills his mind
with good thoughts. his mouth with
good words, and his life with good
actions.

Written for The Atlanta Georgian
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox
lCOpyright, l9l3)

a YOUNG MAN who prides
n himself upon his good hab-
its, and who tries to live
up to the ideals implanted in his
mind by a good mother, is made
very unhappy by the malice of his
enemies. He says:
The reason l write is. I suf-
fer-not from weapons, but from
tongues of my adversaries, who
seek only to draw me down to
degradation with lies which I can
not understand. My nature is
more like a woman's; by that /
mean, more refined than a mans
nature usually is"
No lies of our enemies can harm
us if we pass on in the path of
truth and pay no attention, further
than a calm denial of misstate-
ments.
We are judged by our lives and
actions in the long run, not by
the gossip of our detractors.
The only human being l recOl-
leCt who attained maturity with
out being lied about and having
enemies was a blind idiot.
This young man quoted above
quite possibly is too self-centered.

CHARGED WITTY WIFE's MURDER
John Meek Held by Chester COrOn-
er's Jury.

Chester, May 4.-From the testimony
submitted at the coroner's inquest the
Jury, Mr.. E. w. Wade as foreman,
charged John Meeks with the murder
of his wife, Cornelia Anne Meeks, and
a verdict to this effect was duly re-
turned. The woman was found dead
in a path about five hundred yards
from her home, the crime having been
committed Thursday afternoon by
some person who was evidently con-
cealed in clump of woods beside the
path. The shooting was done with a
shotgun, one load of shot striking the
unfortunate woman on the side Of the
head and literally tearing off a great
portion Of her face, while the other
entered the heart. Either wound was
suffcient to produce almost instant
death. The tips of two fingers were
also shot away, this no doubt having
been due to the woman's throwing up
her hands for protection when she
perceived the assassin crouched in
the underground.
Coroner GLADDEN. examined about a
dozen witnesses, from whom enough
was elected to point to the woman's
husband as the probable slayer His
mother, Harriet Meeks, testified that
her son had borrowed shotgun from
her the previous day to kill crows and
that the weapon had not been re-
turned, though Meeks stoutly contend
ed that he had returned the gun. Bee
Sanders, who was working with Meeks
On the day Of the killing, testified that
Neeks was absent from the field for a
time on the afternoon of the tragedy
&nd also swore that Meeks had a gun
IN the bottoms with him.
Two women, Eliza, and Charlotte

and was returning home when wayla1d
and murdered. Meeks was present at
the inquest and testified.
Sheriff Colvin shortly after arriving
upon the scene Of the killing concluded
that Meeks might be the guilty party,
and when the verdict was rendered the
deputy who had Meeks under surveil-
ance Immediately placed him under
arrest.
Meeks and his wife were negroes OF
more than average intelligence and in
dustry.

DEPRESSION NOT EXPELLED.
Financial Review Of Past Week Not
Very Encouraging.

New York, May 4. The State OF de-
Dression in which financial sentiment

sistance as wGs shown by the price

10 bear out fully the favorable con-
struction placed by New Yo:!z oa the
previous days events. With the def
mite outcome left undecided, stock
markets still lack the positive incen'
tive to betterment. There were add"
tional issues of short term notes by
corporations owing to unsatisfactory
conditions in the bond market. New
York city's announcement OF S45,-
100000 loan made an additional de-
monstration of the position of the bond
market not only by the recurrence to
the high 4 1-2 per cent interest rate
of 1908, but by the resulting fall in
prices OF outstanding 4 1-2 below pre-
vious issue prices.
The controllers digest of national
bank conditions on April 4 revealed
the low State of reserves the country
over, in spite of the contraction OF
losing in New York for the period
covered. Recognition Of the banking
prospect was inferred from the plan
of the secretary of the treasury to
charge interest on government depos-
its and to increase their amounts.
The difficulties in securing credit
gave added effect to some March re-
ports of railroad earnings, showing
the effect of food losses. The steps
taken by the increased Importance
from the recent showing of earnings
for increases wages. Special factors
to aggravate the depression were the
yet unsolYed problems of the Union
Pacific dissolution plan and the ques-
tioning of the New Haven Roads f.
nances in the course of the commerce
commissions inquiry.
Commercial advices came into great
er record in reporting slowing down
in business pending the passage OF
the tariff bill, and also tardiness in
collections. Pig iron continued to de-
cline and premiums on steel products
for early deliveries were said to have
disappeared. Specifications also reced-
ed as higher contract prices came into
force and forward buying was hesi-
tant. United States Steeps first quar-
ter earnings fell several million dol
lars below preliminary unofficial esti-
mates. News of the crops continued
favorable.
