Whenever you" see any of your mates showing signs of "smartness" In lils work, his talk or his play, take him by tho hand, or both hands, or by the back of the neck, If necessary, and lovingly, playfully, but firmly, lead him to a knowledge of higher and more Inter eating things. "In the light of recent events" the above quotation from Kipling's abun dant store of knowledge of men and things, and the proper manner of handling both, may not be amiss. If, 1'owevor, we aro going into the business of censoring others' acts, and constituting ourselves Judges of who and what is "smart," let us be very caroful in the matter-espe cially If we attempt to follow to the t letter Mr. Kipling's advice to "take him by the hand, or both hands, or by the back of the neck, If neces sary," and thus load the way to "a knowledge of higher and more Inter esting things." lt might even be well when we advance to the last ?tcp and go at lt "by tho back of the neck," to consider somewhat the rel ative merits of muscle, lost this good humor be turned into pathos, with Ourselves well to the fore on the pa thetic side. Even eliminating this more strenuous side of the question, which ls fraught with no end of latent possibilities, may wo not be equally "smart" In the eyea of those we seek to correct, by criticism, by Insinua tion or "by the back of the neck," and ourselves merit even more than wo can glvo our "smart" friend? Kipling's advice ls good, and Kipling doubtless would be able to practice it without bringing himself In for adverse criticism. Unfortunately we are not all Kiplings. Let us consider well, therefore, before we attempt to follow bis advice, lest we get only to the point of taking our erring friend by the hand, when we find ourselves taken suddenly-possibly rudely-by the back of the neck. Republican Nominee Sherman ls Buffering from a bilious attack. The Republican party seems to be In the Kaine fix. Nicholas Tschalkovsky ls now held nt St. Petersburg on a charge of high treason. Tschalkovsky-the name smacks of treason; that ls, If lt smacks of anything or spells any thing. ***** Jim Slienii.ui may make a good running mate for Taft In the North. Hut with some war recollections not yet obliterated, and never likely to be, a man by the name of Sharman would In tho South stand about as much chance of election as a snow ball In-Jacksonville, for instance. ***** Persons wishing to see the Gover nor of South Carolina may find him nt almost any hour In the day In his Office, earning bis wages.-News and Courier. And we're thinking heil be "at the samt old stand" for two more years in spite of the confiant chirp ing of the little Coleybird on the ?tump. The Texas delegation at the Re publican National Convention parad ed a pair of Tafts' trousers through the convention hall when Taft's name was presented as (he Presidential nominee. The Implied question was, is the P, sldential chair large enough? Tho country, however, is more Interested in the quality of men's heads and hearts than it ls in the size of their breeches. Stomach Troubles. Many remarkable cures of stomach trouble have beon effected by Cham berlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
