tumorous f rpartmcnt. How Pat Scored on the President. Once when Stuyves&nt Fish was president of the Illinois Central railroad he was sitting in his office looking over the reports. The door opened to admit an Irishman clad in jumpers, who, without removing his hat or taking his pipe out of his mouth, blurted out: "Oi want a pass to St. Louis." President Fish looked up in a mild . surprise and inquired: "Who are you?" "Oi am Pat Casey, a switchman In yer yards here." Thinking to teach the man a lesson in politeness President Fish said: "Well, Pat, I will not say that I will refuse your request, but there are certain forms of etiquette that man should observe In asking a favor. You should knock on the door, and when bidden to enter you should remove your hat and take your pipe out of your mouth as you come In. Then you should say: 'Are you President Fish?* and I would reply: 'Yes, sir; who are you and what can I do for you?' Then you would reply: 'I am Pat Casey, a switchman in the Illinois Central yards, and I came to ask you for a pass to St. Louis.' Now, Pat, you go out and come back in a little while and see ir you can i uo a little better." Pat withdrew, and about two hours afterwards there was a rap on President Fish's door, whereupon he said: "Come In." The door opened and in walked Pat, hat in one hand and his pipe in the other. "Good marnln'," said he; "an' are >>z Mr. Fish, th' president of th' Illinois Centhral?" "I am," replied Mr. Fish. Who are you?" "01 am Pat Casey, a switchman in th' yards." "What can I do for you, Mr. Casey?" inquired the president. "Yez can go C hell?I've got a pass over th' Wabash." Obliging ths Doctor.?"Dr. Stewart was called to the telephone the other night," said a friend, "to hear a cheerful voice announce that: " "un zne way uu?u iu o.m dock! Got fine case tremens.' Dr. Stewart, says the correspondent of the Cincinnati Times-Star, recognized the voice as that of a rather well-to-do young man who had made several previous trips to Bellevue. He expressed over the telephone his strong regrets that he should be again bothered by the anticipant visitor. " 'Thash a' rl' doc. aid the voice through the phone. 1'm goin' co? hie?co?hie?cooperate wiz you zhish time, doc. Goin' make .ecovery in quickesh time known.' and he hung up the receiver. In half an hour or thereabouts a cab rattled in through the receiving gate and an annoyed driver helped out the telephoning person. By this time he was speechless, dflver drorepd him Inside. " 'We shtopped at a wild animal store,' said the driver sourly. 'That's why we're late. The stew here bought a lot of horned toads and garter snakes and things.' " 'But what for?' asked Dr. Stewart " 'He said he was tryin' to help yes,' said the driver. 'He says he wouldn't be able to speak by the time he got to the hospital?but he'd bring along samples of his symptoms." Up to the House..?While Eugene Field was working on the Deftver Republican he was an earnest and ardent patron of Bob Stockton's bar, immediately across the street from the Republican office. He ran a bar bill of $80 in one month. The proprietor, says Everybody's Magazine, dunned him for it frequently, but never cut off his credit, for the patronage or "uene" was worth more to him than the $80. At last, despairing of ever getting his money, and thinking to make a strong hit with "Gene," he made out a receipted bill, and, calling Field aside, presented it to him. Then he waited. But Field merely stood In an expectant attitude, holding the bill. "Well, why don't you say something?" Stockton demanded at last. "Well, Bob," rejoined Field, "what does the house usually do when a man pays his bill?" Just Like Home.?Two little girls? six years old or so?were playing housekeeping all along the garden wall, say8 the Milwaukee Sentinel. On some principle that no grown-up could realize one section of it was the kitchen, another the dining room, another the sitting room and so on. One small maid was the mistress of the house and the other was the servant girl. Then the big man came strolling along with a book in his hand and. all unconscious perched himself on the softest stone in the middle of that wall. "Oh, look how he comes and spoils our play." wailed one of the twain. "No. indeed," replied Audrey, with a ii?pp> Jiis|Mi ctuuii. nrs m> uusuauu and he's reading in his den and he's not to he disturbed, so we needn't notice him." So the game went on. The Circulation of Oratory.?On one occasion, says the Popular Magazine, Senator Tillman was so much pleased with a speech he made that he printed it in pamphlet form. "I congratulate you," Senator Bailey said, a few days later, "on that speech which you have circulated as a pamphlet. I happened to see one this morning and it contained some of the best things I have ever seen In anv pamphlet on that subject." "I am very proud to hear you say so." said Tillman, much gratified. "What were the things that pleased you so much?" "Why," explained Bailey, "as I passed the senate restaurant this morning I saw a girl come out into the corridor with two cherry pies wrapped up in It."

A few months later, says the Popular Magazine, he received a letter from the daughter telling him that she was "simply infatuated with plngpong." That was too much for the old man. He indignantly telegraphed the principal of the school Instructing her never to allow his daughter to associate with a Chinaman. iHiscrtlanrous grading. WITH NEIGHBORING EXCHANGE8. Notes and Comments About Matters of Local Interest. Gaffney Ledger, April 5: Sheriff Thomas returned Wednesday afternoon from Richmond, Va.. where he had Kone to set James Murray, the negro bank robber, and now the ex-porter Is safely lodged in the sheriffs hospitable tavern. No statement has been given out by the bank officials, but It Is presumed that they will prosecute the negro to the limit. Chester Lantern, April 5: J. M. Sellers, engineer of Southern local freight Nc. 63, was badly Injured last night at Blackstock, when his engine, which was In charge of his fireman, split the switch In leaving the siding, and turn ed over on Its side, catching Sellers between the frame work of the cab. The engine turned almost completely over on its back, leaving the drivers up in the air and still running. Sellers would have been instantly crushed to death, but for the fact that the engine fell across a shallow ditch, which afforded enough space to save him. He was accompanied to Charlotte last night by Dr. S. G. Miller and taken to the Presbyterian hospital, suffering from a compound fracture of the wrist and severe bruises about the face and neck. Dr. Miller returned from Charlotte this morning. Lancaster News, April 5: Mr. Jason D. Craig, son of Mr. B. H. Craig of the New Cut section of the county, was married Wednesday of this week in Birmingham, Ala., to Miss Callle Evans of that city. The happy bridal couple arrived in Lancaster on the 8.30 a. m. train Thursday and were met by relatives and friends of the groom, who accompanied them to the home of Mr. B. H.

He was about 53 years old and was a member of Flat Creek Baptist church. He was liked by all who knew him. He did not have any close relatives except his family, but had a lot of friends. He was kind to everybody. Gastonia Gazette, April 5: For the past six or eight weeks Rev. J. J. Kennedy, the venerable Presbyterian minister, has been confined to his home here with what was thought to be an attack of sciatic rheumatism. Yesterday he was taken to Charlotte, accompanied by his son, Mr. J. H>. Kennedy, and Dr. D. A. Garrison, and an x-ray negative was made of the affected part of his body by Dr. W. D. Wltherbee, with the result that it was ascertained that he was suffering from a tumor which affects the sciatic nerve. A consultation of Dhvsicians was held and It was decided not to perform an operation. Mr. Kennedy returned to Oastonia yesterday afternoon and is at his home. Barring this affliction he is enjoying good health and is able to be up and around the house. His hosts of friends here and elsewhere hope for him a speedy recovery from his affliction. Gaston Progress, April 5: A serious cutting affair occurred at one of the local cotton mills at Belmont Thursday evening, and as a result Locke Harvell is in a serious condition. Arthur Holmes, who did the carving, went in the mill and was ordered out by Mr. Harvell, who was one of the overseers. Words ensued with the result as above stated.

King's Mountain Herald, April 5: Two weeks ago the Herald carried a section devoted to Oscar W. Underwood and for some reason Mr. Hambright, the local postmaster, refused :o let us mail them at the usual secondclass rate. We asked to see his authority, he failed to find a single ruling that would prohibit the mailing of our papers. We showed him a copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Brltt, third assistant postmaster general, stating that this paper was admissible as second-class mail. We also offered to pay for a phone message to the postmaster at Charlotte in order to gain some light on the question. Mr. Hamhright, being as blind as a bat to everything that was right, refused to be shown and very candidly informed us that we would have to pay the third-class rate, which is one cent for each paper mailed. Seeing there was nothing else to do, we made a deposit covering the third-class rate and appealed to the third-assistant postmaster general. Last Friday Mr. Hambright was notified by the postofflce department torefund the money we had deposited. Hundreds of newspapers In this and other states used this same Underwood section and. as far as we are able to learn, this is the only place they were held up. The desire to be "the great I am" is the down-fall of many. We were sure the pai>ers were admissible at the second-class rate, and we are also sure that it is a violation of the postal regulations to allow a stockholders' meeting to be held in the private department of the postofflce, and we aisu oeueve 11 a violation to auow any person to go Into the postofflce for any purpose much less that of securing the names of the patrons on the rural routes. A Dubious Compliment.?Judge Orrin N. Carter, chief justice of the Illinois supreme court, told the following story at the fifth annual banquet of the Traffic club of Chicago, which is recorded In the Chicago Tribune: "Down in Missouri a few years ago a man who was about to declare himself as a candidate for judge asked a colored constituent to vote for him. " 'You'se my second choice, judge." answered the colored man "Who's your first choice, Uncle Tom?" asked the prospective candidate. " 'Anybody who can beat you,' was the unexpected reply. ENGLISH REPUBLICANISM. Looks Like British Empire Is Going Toward Democracy. If ever the French have been puzzled by the strange and marvellous ways proper to the "perfidious Albian," writes Francis Warrington Dawson to the News and Courier from Paris, they are puzzled now over the British coal strike. A strike which can paralyze a nation, which can throw very nearly two million men out of work, which can be felt directly and indirectly in all trades, and which can affect all classes I of the population to a greater or less I degree, that is the dream of many I French Socialists, that is tne nigntmare of many French capitalists, that, in short, is a situation which France could understand and either approve or disapprove. But the rub comes with the very smoothness of it in England. Such a state of affairs, and yet no violent agitation, no revolutionary movement, no stringent repression by the force of arms; such a state of affairs, and a government calmly negotiating to right and left, failing, reflecting and then beginning over again! That is where French imagination stops short. Thus, the press remarks daily that "trouble is imminent and inevitable." The remark has doubtless been true on each separate occasion, as far as anyone could judge. But the days have slipped by, running out to nearly three weeks now, since the strike was proclaimed. Whatever painful or perhaps tragic surprises tomorrow may reserve for us, the nineteen days already passed tranquilly in England mark a period the like of which has never been witnessed in France. It is wise to make that reserve in regard to what tomorrow may hold; for, - * ?**- -Ul?u AA1 to judge oy tne news wim which tw umns of French papers are filled each day, a prompt settlement could only be effected on terms which would preciplitate graver dangers in the future than even the ominous present can hold. * It has not been forgotten here that a few days before the strike became an accomplished fact, that is, towards the end of February, the leaders of the extremists In the Miners' union actually published a pamphlet proclaiming that I the minimum wage, which they were in a position to secure by the strike, was only a first step, which would be followed shortly after by a seven-hour day, and when this was achieved, other measures would If necessary be resorted to, rendering coal mining so onerous for capitalists that state ownership would come as a matter of course. Nor is it forgotten that the other trades unions announced that they would wait for the miners to win out for the minimum wagre, and then they would strike for It, too; and they also acknowledged that they were working towards state control. So that, leaving aside the question of rights and wrongs, there would seem ?<-v Vm Httla /?r?nht that hv tHvInc fia t - Isfactlon to the miners now, the government would open a period of long and serious agitation which would transform the so-called Liberal government into something so nearly approaching Socialism that it would scarcely be reconciled with a monarchy. I would remark here, parenthetically, that when I was last in England, in the autumn of 1911, several prominent I Liberals admitted to me that they personally were working for a republic and were using the reform of the lords and like measures to pave the way for it gradually. The attachment of the British nation as a whole to the name of monarchy was such, these people [recognized, that any movement which should assume a frankly anti-dynastic character would be bitterly opposed, even if its other principles were acceptable. The proper policy was consequently to mask the real object behind the measures which were fairly sure to win approbation, and when everything was accomplished, and ev|ery position won, the mask could then be thrown aside and the last act of upsetting the throne would be comparatively simple. Those speaking thus did not commit their associates even as individuals, and they were still farther from stating that this was the aim of the Liberals as a party. For some time I confess I had my doubts as to the applied importance of the admission made to me by the unities in question. But I must say that the course of events since then has inclined me to believe that the imDortanee is srreat. and that if not the Liberal party as a whole, then at least many influential members of it as individuals. are truly working behind a mask to overthrow the British throne at such time when long and careful preparation can lend to the act the appearance of a spontaneous assertion of the nation's will. Without inquiring into the motives, collective or individual, of the Liberals, the thinking class of Frenchmen, schooled by their history to know the ways which lead to upheavals as well as the consequences which are precipitated, see the gravity of the future which looms ahead of the British monarchy. And this excites much feeling, not that the form of government in England is of such vital interest to France, but that the organization for which that government stands cannot suffer without plunging Europe into complications difficult to gauge, but necessarily very serious. For one thing, the opinion of a noteworthy element In France Is that an empire constituted as is Great Britain's could not be held together under republican rule. France's own colonial enterprises have been remarkably successful. so far, but she has to deal with alien races treated half as subjects, half as children. The opinion of travellers is that no European nation treats its black and yellow subjects as well as the French; but that task is left to governors, administrators and officers whose one ambition is to return to France and enjoy the gayeties of the boulevards till the end of their days. France seeks to make loyal collaborators of her colonial natives, comparatively speaking, a mere sprinkling of Frenchmen settled among them with the intention of remaining permanently and founding families. The problem of France's colonial future is consequently to know if the method employed with blacks and yellows will stand the test of time when progressive civilization will not allow as much firmness as is now added to the kindness. But England's problem is totally <mferent. The natives are treated with slightly more firmness, and perhaps slightly less kindness, too, but with certainly a deeper comprehension of alien races than the Frenchman will admit, since the average Frenchman positively refuses to see any difference between races; the consequence is, that while natives in English colonies are doubtless not quite as happy today as the natives in French colonies, they may stand a better chance for contln ued prosperity In the more or less remote future. But while, that, and that alone, is France's problem, It Is only a part of England's, and a minor part. Beginning as "protectorates" of races of varied tints, British colonies evolve naturally towards great nations of white men. These white men, growing up under a system whose sway is exercised from over-sea, may take It as a matter of course, may benefit by its advantages, may not trouble themselves very much over its drawbacks since they are not very near. But let a change of system be suggested and those same men will become critical. And when an efTort is made to establish a loose elective system In the place of the closely knit hereditary system, which has existed for years, it is to be expected that those men, if indeed they Ko man 111 U'Qnt fl^VQ ntfKTPfl f\t thflir own, a different set for each region, to offset whatever other advantages they may think the home country or else other dependencies are receiving. Imagine what a vote for an English president would be! Is he to be elected by Great Britain alone? What authority would he have over distant colonies which had not been consulted? On the other hand, are Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the rest to be consulted? Then, what chance is there of such scattered Interests and opinions agreeing? Is there to be a serious difference, must armed force be resorted to in some dependency of a mood verily too Independent?and what guarantees will other dependencies have that their turn must come next unless they profit by the upheaval in one direction to rise up in their turn? The United States, truest of all republics, has recognized that colonial expansion is incompatible with republican principles; the Roman and French republics could extend and hold their domains only by imposing their rule upon aliens in a manner absolutely nn-renuhlicn ti nlthnncrh AYerHaed. in France's case, at least, humanely. Would Great Britain remain, then, a colonial empire, and a domestic republic? It is hard to conceive the situation otherwise; and it is hard to conceive of this particular situation as lasting an hour, even could it be seriously suggested. Thus do the French, always logical with the facts put before them, look upon the course towards which events seem to be converging in England; and the certainty that a readjustment of England's colonial affairs would put much of Europe out of joint does not add brightness to the outlook. But leaving speculation aside, the Incidents actually occurring in England have been reflected on the European continent in a manner calculated to give pause. In France there has been nothing to equal the gravity of the German strikes; but the twenty-four hours' miners' strike of the 11th of March marked an era In French social history, because of its very orderliness. Never had French worklngmen shown such absolute solidarity, such exemWEBSTER'S NATIONAL 1 ONE VOLUME CONTAINING TI f AUTHORITATIVE LIBRARY C THE WORLD S THOUGHT, AC! 3 CONSTANT SOURCE OF KNOW!

In these letters, I have had occasion to mention the exaggeration of Ideas held abroad as to the effervescence of the French character. The magnificent self-possession of which the French are capable when they see a reason for It could not have been asserted more triumphantly than It was last year during the crisis with Germany. Mow thanks to the British strikes, it is a self-possession of a different type which appears, no less complete, and no less significant. Suspended Animation.?As we descend in the scale of animal life we find that what kills the higher animals does not injure the lower. Cut a polyp in two and you have two living polyps Instead of one dead polyp. Break off a lobster's claw and another will grow. You may, it has been said, freeze a fly, but you cannot freeze it to death. There are infusoria called "wheel animalcules." These rotifers have many curious qualities, among which is that of suspending animation for an indefinite period without ceasing to live. Colonies of rotifers may be desiccated and rendered apparently lifeless, and in this condition they may be kept for months and years and possibly centuries.

IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY KIDNEYS Yorkvills Readers Should Learn to Keep the Kidneys Well. The kidneys have a big work to do. Ail the blood in the body Is coursing through the kidneys constantly to be freed of poisonous matter.

I1LIZER vmEJjl are Jw j iep i i THERE IS A REASON Johnson A dark of Detroit, are state agents for the Mutual Benefit Life In hm?? Pnmnanv frvr tho atalanf Ulah. Igan, and their agency It among the leaden in the amount of new business produced in the United State* each year. For the paat several yean an average of 38 per cent of the new business the agency has produced has been on account of OLD Policy Bolden increasing their insurance. In 1911 this class of business amounted to 40 per cent There is a reason for this and it is simply because of the fact that those Mlchlganden fully appreciate the fact that NO Life Insurance Company in the United States has Ouch a Record as the Mutual Benefit for giving Each Member a 8qusre Deal, and that no Company Guarantees as much in its written contracts. During the thirteen years that I have represented the company I have had the pleasure of writ ing applications for the same men as often as from Two to Five Times, and I am morally certain that there are few if any Mutual Benefit policy holders in this section who feel that they have all the life insurance they care for in this company, provided that they felt able to carry more. Don't you think you should like a policy in such a company, too? Tou owe it to yourself to investigate its record and policy contracts, n 8AM M. GRI8T, 8peeial Agent.
