That remark of Robert Ingersoll, "That
he should have made good health con
tagious instead of disease,” demonstrates
the fact that Colonel Ingersoll is not only
unnecessarily profane, but very lacking
in a comprehension of the conditions of
life. Good health Is contagious, as are
all wholesome things, whether physical
or mental; so also are the evils of our
existence, moral or corporeal. I know a
little maiden who has a positive genius
for eruptive diseases, and whether ex
posed to it or not, simply revels in old
fashioned measles upon the slightest
provocation and without the least en
couragement. She has rung all the measle
changes and variations with a persistence
worthy of a better, certainly a more in
vigorating cause. But measles to this
young girl are not more contagious than
Is good health and good morals to the
average man and woman. Do you ever
think how much more robust humanity
has become of recent years, and how
rapidly chronic invalidism is disappear
ing? Some naturally attribute the change
to the Increased interest In athletics and
In the growing popularity of outdoor ex
ercise for women and girls. Of course this
has much to do with It, but there Is
something beyond that, and it is found
In the fact that it is now the habit to be
well and strong. The contagton of this
belief Is abroad in the land, and women
are discovering how much more comforl
able they are aud how much happier
their families are If they become the ex
ponents of physical vigor. The present
day activities, which play such a part in
the life of every useful woman, are large
ly responsible for this contagion of good
health. In the pursuit and performance
of a paramount duty small His fade into
Insignificance, and minor physical ail
ments disappear In our mental enthusi
asms. When we dlsouss this matter we
must eliminate the serious and specific
Illnesses which fall to the Krt of so many,
and are as apparent to laymen as to med
ical men. This tendency to contract what
ever we are exposed to Is not only a
fihyslcal peculiarity, llk» measles to the
ittle girl, but It Is a moral characteristic
as well. The broad, honest, upright na
ture Impresses itself upon all with whom
It comes In contact, and brings into every
day life the same strengthening, up
building, wholesome tendencies as does
the sound, robust body In a physical way.
It is a difficult matter to be thoroughly
evil In the presence or within the In
fluence of such a powerful moral force.
The attributes of an upright character
act as moral disinfectants and clear the
atmosphere of the germs of evil. The
life of a true man or woman Is an inspira
tion to surrounding humanity, as potent
morally as the pure, health-giving at
mosphere of mountain or sea is to our
physical life. When Ella Wheeler Wilcox
wrote her never-to-be-forgotten lines,
"Laugh, and the World Laughs With
You," she uttered a truism as full of
philosophy as of rhymthm. Laugh, and
the world laughs with you, not because It
always prefers the merry and frivolous,
but because your sweet, sunny tempera
ment is contagious and brings Into the
dreariness of every day duties a bright
ness that is reflected In the hearts of
those about you. Yes, good health, good
nature and good morals are largely con
tagious, and none of us need live amid
the miasmas and malaria unless we pre
fer it.

OFFICERS TOO QUICK FOR HER.
A Negro Woman Steals Lace and the Officers
Steal a March on Her.
A colored woman by the name of Mar
garet Williams was arrested by Officers
Culpepper and Eagan at the union depot
yesterday on a charge of grand larceny.
She went into Kline’s store on Second
avenue to do some purchasing, and while
the clerk who was waiting on her had
his head turned, it is said, she very mys
teriously confiscated a lot of lace valued
at about $5. The lace was missed at once
and the police notified, and a description
of the woman given. She at first denied
everything, but when the lace was found
concealed upon her person she acknowl
edged her guilt.
To get away from our officers is like
trying to cross the Rocky mountains on
a bicycle.
A SAD DEATH.

most lovable woman, loving wife and
faithful friend. At 4 o’clock, at the res
idence of her husband, Dr. P. P. Crowe

Crowe answered uncomplainingly the
summons that took her from the home
of which she was the light.
Mrs. Crowe had been ill but a fort
night, and her death was In a manner un
expected. She was the daughter of our
honored townsman, Mr. W. P. Barker,
one of the oldest citizens of Birmingham,
and has herself been Identified with the
growth of this section, having lived her
life among Its people. To her sisters,
Mrs. Tom Parker and Mrs. Walter
Moore, to her husband and her davoted
father, the sympathies of the entire com
munity will go out In their hour of sor
row. _

The Specialist who treats thousands of patients has more experience than the
physician who occasionally practices on one.
The indisputable fact that Dr. Holloway is the only physician In the South con
trolling sufficient practice In private troubles, such as Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Gleet.
Stricture, Bad Blood, Skin and Bladder Diseases, Ulcers, Womb Troubles, etc., to
devote his whole time to their cure is sufficient evidence of his great experience
and successful treatment.
Special attention Is given to the treatment of unfortunates suffering from
early imprudence, errors of youth, loss of vitality, loss of manhood, sexual de
bility, or any of its maddening effects.
GET WELL and enjoy life as you should. Many men and youths are today
occupying subordinate positions In life who. If they were able to exercise their
brain power to its full and natural capacity, would Instead be leaders.
