money. L know of a case where man
who stood high in the church concluded
to ruin his partners, and he hid the
money in his childrens names, but the
people who understood his conduct
turned a cold shoulder to him until he
actually felt obliged to move his resi-
dence. His brazen heart quailed before
public opinion.
Marriage is the most potential con-
tract that was ever entered into, and
should be safeguarded by legal and
moral forces and it's violations should
be also marked by the stringent force of
public opinion. The domestic life of ma
tions depends on the regard that is
shown to the marriage relation. 1 have
known women who had to beg for the
money to buy clothes for the children
and could not get a dollar for herself
without humbly begging for it. There
is a joke that travels the circuit among
the heartless and unthinking about the
woman who searches her husbands
pockets 1t is like the mother-in-law
Joke which gets in the papers at every

who could make his wife miserable by
denying her the privilege of spending a
dollar should be whipped at the carts

plenty of foolish women, 1 will admit,

of brute men to match them. I am GO

In searching through a lot of letters
today 1 came across my recipe for max
ing Dixie cake-used constantly in Con-
feedrate days. 1t is yellow with age,
but my handwriting was better than it
is today, and entirely legible.
DIXIE CAKE.
Six eggs. three cups of molasses, one
cup of sugar, five cups Of flour, one cup
of butter, one tablespoonful of spice,
one of ginger, one teaspoonful of soda,
dissolved in cup of muttermilk.
We had a party at our house during
the last days of the Confederacy and in

Macon who were waiting for conscript
officers to bring in enough soldiers to
get enough to make a command), and
the girls in the vicinity of our refuge

provided for them, and they said il
was magnificent. I boiled a ham. made
biscuit, had pickles made of artichokes
and a drink that started with some sort
of seed to make beer that would rise
and fill a can full by morning. This
was sweetened with molaSses. The
sight of this ancient Dixie cake recipe
brought up a score of refreshing MEM
cries, and the party was given less than
three weeks before General Wilson cap

Post VI Ortem BeneUOLence and the
Inheritance T0r---B1ShOp Gambler

Post-mortem benevolence. by means
OF legacies. is never quite good as
gifts made for philanthropic purposes
during the lifetime of the giver.
There may he. now and then. some con-
trolling reasons whereby a man is
moved to bequeath money to benevo-
lent institutions which he could not
give i'm his lifetime; but it is always
unfortunate when such is the case. He
thereby deprives himself of seeing the
fruits of his gifts and enjoying the
sight of the good done by them.
Moreover wills are easily broken and
many a benevolent purpose. which men
have designed to accomplish through
Wills. has been defeated by legal pro-
cesses after the testators had passed
away. Even as great a lawyer as Mr..
Samuel J. Tilden was unable to write a
will that could not be broken; he left
a large estate to benevolent purposes.
but his will was not held TO be good
one
Who cannot recall many cases in
which benevolent requests produced
costly litigation and failed of the pur-
poses at which those who made them
aimed.
In addition to all these considerations
there is another reason for benevolent
people making their gifts while they
live. instead of waiting to accomplish
their purposes by legacies after they
are dead. and that reason is that the
laws which provide for an inheritance
tax take QUE a considerable part of
iegscies now. The treasury of the state
of Georgia will be replenished during
the current year by considerable sums
from this source.
Now. if a man wishes TO leave lega-
- to the state he is perfectly compe-

A aKUEsoME STORY OF LATE
DATE.

Philadelphia, we'll narrated as the City
of Brotherly Love, has had the SenSa-
ton of the past week. A young woman
who had been posing as an artists mod
ell, which means she undressed herself
and allowed these men picture makers
portray her body and limbs on their
easels, was found in her apartments
dead, evidently murdered, first by some
blunt instrument and later by Strangu-
lation, her own silk stocking tied about
her throat. etc. AS the investigation
progressed it was developed that she
had several men, one or more married
men, in constant association with her
self and presumably leading a life OF
everyday prostitution. One of these
men paid for the rent of the apartment,
others contributed jewelry and paid for
wine and dinners, etc. One left his wife
and little daughter to be constantly
with this woman, who was known 10
have a perfect figure" His parents
were Pittsburg millionaires and the de-
generate son had spent his patrimony in
"riotous living."-Threw away world
to live in sin.
After tracing various clews the de-
tectives had this man spotted and final
ly imprisoned in his own lodging place,
nearly a week after the murdered Wom-
ans body had been found. As these
police officers were just about to arrest
him he betook himself to the bathroom
and shot himself. Two of these degen-
crates are now dead and some others
are under surveillance by the detectives.
Shame and disgrace has been laid in
heavy hands upon the families of these
dead ones The story has been flashed
from ocean to ocean and from the lakes
to the gulf From my viewpoint, they
have run the race and have received the
reward, a bad life together and pad
ending in death. Those who cared Tor
them are we'll rid of them. The beauty
of the woman was the lure of this tragic
destruction. The wages of sin is death!
Nothing surer-cause produces effect
The sign post will always tell the tale.
