REWARD APPEALED TO HIM
Saving Girls Lives Would Be Attrac-
tive If Unlimited Kisses Fol-
lowed Brave Action.

While reading the paper t'other
morning noticed that a sweet Bos-
ton lass who was saved from being
run over by a train by a brave man,
rewarded him with kiss.
This trifiing little incident has sug-
gested to me wonderful possibilities
along this line. Soon as l can find
the time to get around to it, I'm gonna
go into the life-saving business-in
the life-saving of charming young
ladies. I'm just gonna hang around
railroad tracks and ON street corners
where traffic is thickest and where
there is a congestion of motor cars
and at all other dangerous places |
can find-just stick around, you I'M
derstand, waiting for an opportunity
to save some sweet things life for
her.
Yassir, I'll butt right in where an
gels fear to tread-carrying my life
in one hand and my courage in the
other. When l see a sweet and alto
gether charming maiden standing be-
wildered on a railroad track or in
front of an oncoming truck or behind
a buzz wagon that is backing up, I'll
holler, Fear not, fair creature
will save you!" Then I'll jump right
in, pick her up in my arms and carry
her to safety.
Having saved the girls life for her,
I'll stand there waiting to be kissed.
and If she doesn't kiss me I'll be pref
ty doggone sore, If she doesn't kiss
me, do you know what I'll do? III

ARRANGES FOR FUNERAL;
then SMITH ENDS life
Farmer Of GreGnViIIG Takes
Fatal Dose

Greenville, Jan. 3O.-Joseph ).
Smith, 70 years old, a prominent farm
err living seven miles east of Green
vile, died yesterday from dose OF
sulphate of morphine taken with
suicidal intent seven hours before his
death.
His wife saw him take the dose and
asked what it was, he replying that
it was purgative She soon knew by
his heavy breathing that there WAS
something serious the matter with him
and summoned a physician The phv
sician arrived when Mr.. Smith was in
a dying condition.
Mr.. Smith had been respondent for
long time, and, according to his
family, had prepared in every way for
his death. A few days ago his wife
says that she was informed by him
that she would be widow in less
than two weeks His death, therefore,
does not come Unexpectedly.
Mr. Smith went so far as to get his
house in condition for his death and
funeral. His monument was carved
and erected more than year ago, He
left special instructions for his fun
eral services.
Besides his wife, he is survived by
four children, R. o. and W. D. Smith,
of eMriwether county; Prof j. D,
Smith, professor of high standing az
the institution at GAINESVILLE, and Mrs.
John Douglas, of Griffin.
His funeral took place here today
the intermert being in the Greenville
cemetery. Mr.. Smith leaves a great
number OF friends, and the funeral SER
vices were attended by many people.

LET PERFUME BE PART
OF YOUR PERSONALITY
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox.)

(By Ella wheeler WllcOA.)
Perfume always seems to me like
music grown still.
There is something vitality wrong
with the temperament of a man or a
woman who dislikes music or per-
fume. Did you ever think how much
of the charm of life would be missing
if that least respected of the five
senses, the sense of smell, were lost?
Never to be able to enjoy the breath
of roses on a June day; the salts meA
of the sea at low tide in August; the
odors of the pine woods in early Au-
tumn and never to experience that
emotional rush of the tides of memory
which certain perfumes produce The
Whit from a ladys lace handkerchief
can for the moment restore lost youth
and bring back dead faces to life and
beauty for the passerby.
Perfumes always have played, and
always will play, a large part in the
romance of life among temperamental
people of refinement.
tn, ,,,or5 01orF,,p,o,, ;o dor;vo5 fro,,,
the Latin words per" which means
by or through" and "fumus",
meaning smoke, referring to in
cense, which was the first form OF
perfume used in religious ceremonies.
Used by Egyptians.
The Egyptians revelled in the bath,
and employed perfumes in their re-
ligious and state ceremonies and at
funerals about forty centuries before
Christ. Their priests monopolized the
compromising of the spices and gums,
and were consequently the original
manufacturing perfumers. The city Of
Alexandria contained perfumery fac
to ries. Cleopatra used perfumes law
ishly; they were among the means she
employed to fascinate Mark Anthony.
Men are curious creatures; they
like the fiirtatious woman and the
woman who uses subtle odors; but
! both perfume and Irritation methods
must be delicately employed or they
are repealed.
A Feminine Accessory.
Perfume seems in our western lani
to be a wholly feminine accessory of
the toilet. Some twenty years aga
fashion declared that men might use
toilet water, but no extracts. Over in
England, however, fashion has taken
a swerve toward the Oriental idea,
and each man of the mode is expected
to have his individual scent, usually
in the form of an incense burner, in

Perfume and Personality.

PERFUME ana fefSOnhlItys
But may our world never become 50
commonplace, so dull, SO devoid OF
temperament, that it ceases to care or
comprehend perfumes. They have
their place in life with the great arts.
In fact, they have been known to
inspire great arts, great literature
great poems, great music, great paint
ings.
And it would be difficult to find a
man or woman who had experienced a
great love who was not susceptible 20
the influence of perfumes.
And so, my dainty lady, choose your
favorite perfume; let it become a part
OF your personality; but beware o,
choosing a scent that is pungent
strong or rank, and beware of using il
with vulgar llDefallty.
Let it breathe from you like al
elusive breeze of early summer, and
let one wonder where the delicate or
or cam from, rather than be shocked
by its aggressiveness.
Perfume should haunt, but not pur-
sue.
