Clear Case of Madness.

John Blank of Ohio is politician of
considerable influence in his state. One
evening when he was in Washington
he was invited to dine at the home OF
John R. Mclean, who dabbles in Ohio
politics and costly tapestries.
Every time Mr.. Mclean hears of a
tapestry sale in Europe he peels off a
section of his bank roll, hands it to an
agent and tells him TO blow it in on
the hangings.
Blanks appetite was very poor that
night Apparently he was in great
physical pain or felt the gnawing clutch
of a secret sorrow. When he got back
to Ohio he made this mournful an
nouncement:
I've always heard that john r. Nc.
Lean was Il wise old guy. It's mis-
take. That old fellow is as crazy as q

Well Confirmed.

The Rev. Joshua Kimber, in his
"reminiscences in the Living Church.
tells the following anecdote of the
late Bishop Horatio Porter: HE had
been jouneying up the east bank of
the Hudson river, stopping for con
firmation each day at adjoining par
ishes. When he reached Poughkeepsie
he saw a woman at the rail waiting for
confirmation whose face he was sure
he recognized and was somewhat ia
miliar with. He was also certain that
she had been confirmed within the
week at another place The bishop
whispered to her to remain after sery
lee and said. Ny dear madam, what
do you mean by coming for confirma
ton? | am sure | confirmed you Mon
day at such place Did l not? She
said: You certainly did. l have been
following you UP the river and have
been confirmed every day this week.
He. astonished. said. Why did YOU do
that? Whereupon she replied. Be
cause l heard it was good for rheuma-
tism.'"

The Humble Hero.

He was not of the royal blood.
He did not seem to know his worth.
But in our common brotherhood
He was hero of the earth.
God gave him grace to work and wait
And strength and patience to endure
And faith and hope which. soon or late,
A crown OF triumph would insure.
He looked not to the heights for fame
Nor walked where wild ambition leads
Content on earth TO wreathe his name
With kind and helpful little deeds
The world seemed brighter for his smile
And hearts were glad to have him neal
Broadening lifes nobler scope the while
He moved within his humble sphere.

FATHER SHOOTS
GIRL WITH RIFLE
Daughter of Turner County
Farmer at Point of Death
From Accidental Wound.

ASHBURN, GA. Jan. 2O-The six
teen-year-old daughter of J. f. Jack
son, Turner county farmer. living
eight miles east of Ashburn, lies dan
gerously and perhaps fatally wounded
today from a rifle bullet accidentally
fired by her father.
The Jackson family was preparing to
move to another part of the county and
had all their household goods packed
and loaded except the rifle, which was
kept in rack over She door. When
Mr.. Jackson removed the rifle from the
rack and attempted to unload it he
discovered that the cartridges in the
barrel had corroded and could not be
removed.
Determined to unload the gun before
placing it in the wagon, Mr.. Jackson
aimed it at an out-building and fired.
His daughter was in the building and
received the ball in one cheek. The
ball passed through the girls mouth,
knocking out nearly all her teeth and
infiicting a dangerous wound.
DR.. j. H. Baxter was summoned as
soon as possible from Ashburn. The
latest reports from the wounded girl
are that she is still living, but little
hope is held out for her recovery.
The father and other members of
the family are PROSTATE over the acct
dent.

Agnes Scott Pupils Are Proud of Honor System
GIRLS GOVERN SELVES

Girls of Agnes Scott college, indig-

TO be placed under the surveillance of
chaperons in their comings to and fro.
today issued a counter statement de-
cIaring that under the system of gov

chaperonage by any one is unnecessary
and undesirable.
The college, they declare, is on the
honor system, and student government,
the pride and delight of the college

upon the efficacy of the student gov

which was shaped at an indignation

LOCAL DRUGGIST
MAKES STATEMENT
Says Dodson's Liver Tone Is the
Best Remedy for Constipation
and Sinking Liver He Has
Ever Sold.

Every person who has tried bod
sons Liver Tone and knows how
surely and gently it starts the liver
to working and relieves biliousness
will bear out the Atlanta druggists
in this statement about Dodson's
Liver Tone:
1T is a purely vegetable LIQUID,
that entirely takes the place of cal
omel, harmless and pleasant to the
taste, that has proven itself the
most satisfactory remedy for a slow
working liver that most of our Gus
toners have ever tried. A large bot
tie sells for fifty cents and we do
not hesitate to give the money back
to any person who tries a bottle on
the strength OF this statement and
is not satisfied with the result"
In these days Of doubtful medi-
cines and dangerous drugs, a state
ment like the above is a pleasant
assurance that Dodson's Liver Tone
is reliable remedy for both chill
dren and grown-ups. In buying a
bottle for immediate or future use
it is well to make sure you are get
ting the genuine Dodson's Liver
Tone and not some spurious imita
ton that has copied our claims. but
do not stand back Of their guaran-
tee. You may be certain of getting
the genuine If you go to any At
lanta druggist for It.
