Belated Poetry.
The poets must not be impatient. Man-
uscripts, like everything else in this vale
of song and sunshine, must wait their
tarn till the editor calls "Next!" The
following from ono of the impatient fel-
lows comes all the way from Texas:
"Six years ago I sent you a poem on the
illness of my grandmother. She knew
that I had written it, and she waited a
long time to see it in print. Finally she
died without sexing it, which would have
been a pleasure to her in her last hours.
I now send you another on the illness of
my uncle. He also knows it has been for-
warded to you, and will wait a reasonable
time to see it. I shall be extremely sorry
if he, too, has to dig without seeing it in
print. Will you please send it to the
printer right away`""—Atlanta Constitu-

here, is one of the happiest men in town.
For some years past he has been in very
poor health, and was a great sufferer from
Kidney Disease,
In spite of all that medical skill and
numerous remedies could do, Mr. Gil/can
grew gradually worse. His sufferings in-
creased, and there seemed to be no hope of
curing the disease.
One day a friend called to see him. and
advised him to try Dodd's Kidn y Pills,
telling him they had cured a number of
cases of which lee knew, and which were
all worse than Mr. Gillean's. The latter
procured a box, and so much good .did ft
do him that he bought three more, These
cured him completely, and ho is now
obliged to hold quite a reception every day,
so malty friends call to congratulate him
on his happy recovery.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are astonishing the
medical fraternity daily by their marvel-
lous success in eases of I3riglit`s Diseeso.

"I say that she took the exact center of
the stage and held it for 45 seconds. And
I want to quit right here and now."
"But, my dear girl, you are so hasty.
You don't appear to know that they have
what they call silent earthquakes in this
part of the country. One occurred only
yesterday afternoon, and it moved the
stage fully two feet to one side. You see,
Heloise didn't know this, and, besides,
'what you thought was the center of the
stage wasn't. You mustn't be so ready to
accuse people of doing what isn't right."
"Oh, well, if that's the case, I won't

Dr. Tohn Fiske in The Atlantic. Physical
immortality is Something which has
hitherto been supposed to be inexorably

"All men are mortal" figures in text-
books of logia as the truest of truisms.
But we have lately been assured that this
is a mxitake. So, at least, I was told by
a very downright person who called on
me some years ago with a huge parcel of
manuscript. for which he wanted me to
find him a publisher. He had been cruel-
ly snubbed and 111 used, but truth would
surely prevail over bigotry, as in Gali-
leo's case. I took his address and let him
leave his manuscript. Its recipe for pby-
sical immortality, dilated through 000
pages, was simply to learn how to' go

The Liar and the Thier.
Lying is of all mean traits of character
the most despicable. This Is the crying
sin of the age—that men do not value their
word. If a Iran steals anal is caught, the
world brands hire a thief and shuns him;
he can never outlive it; but if ho lies,
though it may be proved, ho is still re-
spectable, and if ho profit by the Ile he Is
esteemed especially clever and smart.
But the thief is not near so dangerous
to society as the liar We can protect our-
selves against thieves, we can guard our
possessions, but the liar can penetrate the
strongest fortress and blast the most pre-
cious of our possessions. lig can go into
court and rob or murder at will. Ho can
blast a life or ruin a fortune and there is
no redress.
