A Collector's Bargain.?Lord Spencer
of Althrop, one of the greatest of
book collectors, was at home only in
his own held. One day in browsing
about Bond street, London, he went Into
the shop of a dealer in bric-a-brac.
The dealer, who knew him by sight,
said persuasively:
"Here is a fine bit of pottery which
your lordship really ought to have,
and you shall have It very cheap?
only 2 guineas."
80 Lord Spencer bought it and took
it home and set it in a high place. One
day a connoisseur of china paid him a
visit, and Lord Spencer showed his
bargain.
"What did you give for it?" asked
the connoisseur.
"Two guineas," answered Spencer
rather proudly.
"H'm!" said the connoisseur. "At
that price the marmalade should have
been Included."
"What do you mean?"
"Why, that precious piece of yours is
nothing more or less than a shilling
marmalade pot with a green thistle
painted on it."
It Cams Back.?Sandy Brown, a
grocer in a small village in Scotland,
discovered a bad 2-shilling piece which
his wife, who was afflicted with weak
eyesight, had taken during the day.
Being of a parsimonious disposition,
this annoyed him greatly, and he determined
to pass the coin at the first
opportunity.
The next day while walking down
the road he saw "Daft Jimmie," the
village idiot, pass. Calling him over,
he said:
"Here's a bad two shilling piece,
Jimmie. I want you to go to Simpson's
( & rival tradesman) and buy an ounce
of tobacco. You can keep the tobacco,
but bring me the change."
Jimmie hurried off and soon re-appeared
arid banded the delighted Sandy
his change.
"Did Simpson suspect anything?"
he asked.
"Ach," said Jimmie, "I didna fash
gaen so far as Simpson's. I just pass

No Scandalmonger.?A party of
young ladies from a certain southern
town was touring Europe last summer,
under the guidance of a superannuated
clergyman, when hostilities
broke out and left them, for the time
being, marooned in northern Italy.
One of the party, who is locally famous
in her own community for her
aversion to circulating anything in the
nature of idle gossip, wrote a letter
back heme to a friend. After describing
some of the sights she had seen
and mentioning the prevalent weather
at some length, she adedd this sentence:
"It is rumored in Milan that war has
been declared, but don't say I told
you."?Saturday Evening Post.
8he Was Surprised.?He had been
on a hunting expedition for several
days in the backwoods, roughing it
rather severely, and on taking a seat
in the railway carriage returning
homeward he looked as begrimed and
weatherbeaten a trapper as ever
brought his skins into a settlement,
says the Pittsburgh Post-Dispatch.
He happened to find a seat next to
a young lady?evidently belonging to
Boston?who, after taking stock of
him for a few minutes, retnarked:
"Don't you feel an utterly passion Fortunate.?Signor
Marconi, who is
undoubtedly one of the most popular
men in Italy just now, has been telling
a story about a certain celebrated admiral
who was a countryman of his.
"The admiral," he says, "has won
many battles and great renown, and at
a ball given in his honor one lady said
to another: 'How frightfully fat our
dear admiral is getting?*
"'Yes,' replied the second lady. "Isn't
it fortunate? Otherwise he wouldn't
be able to wear all his medals.'"
Quite Probable*?In New Jersey one
morning, Perkins looked over his
fence and said to his neighbor:
"What are you burying in that hole?"
"I'm Just replanting some of my
seeds, that's all," was the response.
"Seeds:" exclaimed Perkins angrily.
"It looks more like one of my hens."
"That's all right," came from the
man on tne otner siae 01 me iente.
"The seeds are inside."
Smoothed it Over.?Jones observed
an old lady sitting across the room.
"For heaven's sake," he remarked to
Robinson, "who is that extraordinarily
ugly woman there?"
"That," answered Robinson coldly,
"is my wife."
Jones was taken aback, but quickly
recovered himself.
"Well," he said, persuasively, "you
just ought to see mine."
Delirious??The Wife?Oh, doctor, I
think Henry is much better this morning.
He took my hand just a minute
ago and called me his own little tootsy
wootsy.
Doctor?The case is more serious
than I thought. It's a very bad sign
when a patient becomes delirious.
A Matter of Weight.?He?Don't
you think Miss Sweetthlng is very attractive?
She?Well, judging by the moths I
see fluttering around the fiame her attraction
operates only on very light
substances.
Distinguished Ancestors.?"I'm sorry
you don't admire Mr. Gumpins,"
said the tactful woman. "His ancestors
were very distinguished and
estimable people."
"Yes," replied Miss Cayenne. "What
a misfortune for his family that so
many of them died."?Washington
Star.
Why He Came.?Landlady (delight,
^ edly)?And so De Curein advised you
to come here?
New Boarder?Yes; I'm under treatment
and he said I must avoid overeating.
A Good Bad Boy.?Mother?I hear
that Harry Smith is the worst boy in
school, and I want you to keep as far
away from him as possible.
Tommy?I do, ma. He is always at
the head of our class.
Different From Her Ma.?He?Why
is it that there's never a match in this
house?
She (curtly)?I can't make matches.
He?That's strange; your mother
could.
Those Girls Again.?Edith?Miss
Oldgirl says she has just reached the
marriageable age.
Marie?You don't say. I wonder
what delayed her?

aid will be asked for increased appropriations.
Some of these will possibly
be a necessity and yet our taxes
now are far too heavy for the service
rendered and as a whole our people
will rebel against a further increase.

The Babes Suffer.
One of the saddest sights we have
seen recently, though we have unfortunately
seen similar sights before,
was that of a young man?a white
man?a few days ago beastly drunk
and indulging in the usual programme
of the beastly drunk man. Officers?
a bevy of them?finally escorted him
to the lock-up with the aid of a hack
that they had requisitioned, and the
next chapter was probably the administration
of a stiff fine in the mayor's
court next morning. And in the meantime,
with the poor fellow's exchequer
depleted and the Christmas hopes
of wife and babies largely gone a
glimmering, the infamous blind tiger
that jyobably sold the poor drunkard
the poisonous concoction that upset
+ s reason and put such a hole in his
le savings, pursues the even tenor
iiis way, and will have everything
Christmas. We are in hearty
s. mpathy with-the proposed measure
that would giye no convicted blind
tiger the alternative of a fine, and hope
the sentiment that has made the state
dry in theory will not stop with what
has been done, but will go further and
insist upon adequate punishment of
the wretches that rob the little children
of their Christmas by selling the
father liquor.?Chester Reporter.
From London, Paris and Berlin ,
have come within recent months many
accounts of the employment of women
at tasks heretofore supposed to be <
sacred to the other sex. The street
cars in Berlin are managed by women
conductors, who are described as rather
preferable to the men, because they
are more careful and their manners
better. Munition-making establish- ,
ments all over the war area are em- (
ploying women by the tens of thousands.
Women are replacing men as
operatives in all kinds of establish- j
ments. They have plowed, sowed and ;
harvested the greater part of the big
crop that France produced the past
year, and in Italy their participation 1
in all industry is said to be only less <
striking than in France. A fashion, (
once set, spreads fast. In our own ,
country, not because of absolute necessity,
but because it is easier now
for women to take up new tasks, the 1
tendency to innovations of this kind ,
is marked. From Cleveland comes
the story of women in greater numbers
invading various mechanical trades. 1
The town is a great Industrial center; i
some lines of its activities have been
swamped with orders for their pro- '
ducta In the search for competent '
workers women would be constantly t
found among the applicants, and the j
experiments with them has been such .
that they are regarded as a future
factor of great importance in the labor 1
market We are Just beginning to
realize the changes that win come to :
this world by reason of the war, and
of inevitable re-organization of all
kinds of ideals. It will be a new sort
of world, with a new civilization, that
will emerge at the end, but whether
the situation will be any better than
what we have now remains to be
seen.?Anderson Daily Mail.

The Dardanelles Reckoning.
The British losses in the Dardanelles
adventure totalled 112,921, which is at j
least one-fifth of the casualties the (
nation has suffered in the whole field
of the war on land and sea. It is a
tremendous sacrifice in an enterprise
that was not only unsuccessful but
that was unquestionably lost through ,
some sort of blundering. The evidence
accumulates and seems to have
quite convinced British public opin- i
ion that incompetent leadership, rather ]
than misconception of the scheme, {
accounts for the failure to force the
straits and capture Constantinople. !
From Turkish sources comes the re- i
port that in the early stages of the
attack success was within reach and
might have been grasiped with one
more effort, when the undertaking 1
was temporarily suspended for gen- 1
eral revision of its character. Later
it is undoubtedly time that the British ,
were on the point of carrying the '
commanding positions, and had actu- !
ally achieved the summit of the ridge,
but, because of failure to provide ,
support to the advanced lines, the advantage
had to be relinquished and the 1
opportunity was permanently lost. The 1
British public is very deeply stirred i
over the failure of the Dardanelles
enterprise?never a particularly popu- \
lar undertaking?and the demand
is insistent and becoming well
nigh irresistible for an exposure of
the real responsibility for it. The government
has refused thus far to make
any statement as to the personnel of
the officers held accountable ror tne
errors and the losses of the campaign,
but it may not be able to resist much
longer, and, sooner or later a reckoning
must be taken of the whole business.
Such a reckoning will almost
certainly demonstrate that the undertaking
was lost in execution and not,
as so many have insisted, unsound in
conception?Charleston Post.
Obligation.
Every man who is not above resorting
to sharp practices when dealing
with his fellow men will be scrupulously
honest when the nature of his
calling makes him deal with children.
This is because he realizes his mental
and physical superiority over the
child and feels an obligation to protect
the child's interests. The feeling is
near akin to that noblesse oblige that
ruled good men in an older day that
obtains even to this day where men
are white of skin and heart. Here in
the south, where an inferior race
presents a problem in morals and ethics,
the white men of finer clay preserve
the relative standing of the races
and minister to their own self-respect
by observing the spirit and letter of
that ancient obligation of "quality."
Their dealings with the colored people
are marked by a condescending kindness,
by fairness that is unwavering,
and a generosity that is not so much
kindness of heart as magnanimity toward
an inferior. Not all men were
born in this viewpoint, however, nor
have all men acquired it. There are
many who resent the negro's presence,
feel a personal jealousy of his prosperity.
and delight in doing him injury
for no better cause than the
color <vf his skin. Thus one may, with
impunity, cheat a negro. One may sell
him a cheap article at a great price.
One may knock him down and explain
that he was impudent. One may
abuse a negro prisoner?even hang a
negro without trial. One may do all
this and get away with it because on
any jury or in any community there
will be enough whites who.are strangers
to noblesse oblige to carry the
weight of public opinion against him
who was wronged. I believe it is a
self-evident fact that the finer the
blood, the cleaner the heart and the
bigger the brain of the white man.
the more kindly he will treat the negro;
and that as men descend in the
social and intellectual scale their
hatred of the negro increases in exact
proportion to their proximity to
him. Men are known by many things
?by the company they keep, by the
friends they win; by their enemies.
But in this land where trash and
quality are rapidly blending, and
where the one often seems to be the
other, show me how a white man
treats the negro and assuredly I can
tell you what he is?whether the
sparkle on the wine or the dregs in
the bottom of the glass.?Fountain

THE 8WI8S REPUBLIC
Can Mobilize 240,000 Men in Twenty Four
Hours.
"Nowheri else in the world has the

self to geographical conditions than
in the little republic of Switzerland,"
says a bulletin of the National Geographic
society.
"While the subject of national preparedness
holds such a large place in
the minds of the American people, it
becomes of value to study the remarkable
system the Swiss people
have evolved?a system fitted to national
ideals which do not accept the
doctrines of militarism on the one
hand, and which reject the doctrines
of peace at any price on the other.
The Swiss system is particularly interesting
to Americans because of the
kindred theories of government in
Switzerland and the United States,
the slmiliar aspirations of their people,
and the close relationship of
their needs.
"Although they have democratic
tendencies perhaps?stronger than our
own, although they believe in local
self-government perhaps more thoroughly
than we do, and although they
possess a very deep conviction that
central authority must not encroach
upon the rights of the cantons, the
people of Switzerland have made
themselves a nation under arms, yet
a nation without the slightest thought
of adding a foot to its territory or of
disturbing that peace whose blessings
it loves and appreciates.
"There is nothing in Switzerland
corresponding to a regular army. One
might hunt for months around the
country without finding one man
whose profession is military; yet almost
as hard would it be to discover
one able-bodied citizen who has not
had some soldier training:
"While Switzerland has a population
smaller than that of Massachusetts,
with an area twice as large, it
can mobilize 240,000 men in 24 hours.
On the same basis, the United States
could put 8,000,000 men into the field,
though of course it would take longer
to get them to central points of
mobilization. Behind a field army of
240,000 the Swiss have a reserve of
equal proportions. The United States
CStrloa mrotam Ha VO Q

trained army of citizens reaching a
grand total of 16,000,000 men of all
arms. Uuder that standard we would
have 160 trained men from every
town of 1,000 population; while a
county of 30,000 Inhabitants could
thus send 400 men to the front and
hold as many more in reserve.
"There is no soldiery in the military
world costing as little per man
as the Swiss.
"This difference arises from the
fact that the army of the Swiss confederation
is in truth a citizen army.
It is organized on what has been
called the 'voluntary compulsory' system,
to which the Swiss people have
freely resigned themselves in order
to guarantee the independence of
their country.
"The Swiss boy, at the age of ten,
is put into the gymnastic class at
3chool, and begins learning the element
of the soldier drill on the
school house playgrounds. Long be- I
fore he is old enooigh to be called
upon for service he has learned to do
the manual exercises and to go
through much of the drill that after- (
ward fits him for a soldier.
"When a boy reaches 17 years he is 1
liable to service?a liability which <
continues until he is 60 years of age.
Even after that he may be liable, if
he is capable of doing any other army I
work tha nsoldiering, such as acting
as baker or veterinary surgeon.
"Yet with all of this universal
training, the only people in Switzerland
who make arms exclusive profooolAn

selected by the Federal assembly, and
the general staff. These form the
brains of the army. The rank and
file belong to the cantons, just as the
milita do to the state In this country.
"At the age of 20 every able-bodied
Swiss youth becomes a unit in the
first line. During the first year of
liability he must serve 75 days or
more, and 11 days for each successive
year he is called to the standard.
Services in the first line continues until
the citizen has reached the age
of 32. Therefore he becomes a unit
In the Landwehr or First Reserve, in
which he remains until he is 44. He
must give 9 days of service during
each four years that he belongs to
the Landwehr. From 44 to 50, he
serves in the Landsturm or Second
Reserve.
"Rich and poor serve side by side
in the Swiss army, and there is none
of the 'crack' regiment idea to be
found. There is only one general, and
he is picked from a nation of soldiers;
nor is his remuneration lordly
for his salary is only $10 a day. The
caste system has not been permitted
to creep into the Swiss army, for the
very essence of the Swiss military
idea is that all men start from the
scratch, and that brain and ability
must win the race.
"Every commune in Switzerland is
required by federal law to maintain,
at public expense, a safe and suitable
target range of not less than 1,000
feet. All legally organized shooting
clubs of the commune have the right
to use this range free of charge. The
government gives 60 cents a year to
each club for each member doing a
prescribed amount of shooting during
the year. The annual number of shots
fired in target practice in the army
and in the shooting clubs reaches
nearly 30,000,000 rounds, two-thirds
of which practice is done by the
shooting clubs.
"Though surrounded on all sides
by belligerent millions, whose interests
might be served by asking her to
step out of their paths, Switzerland
today stands an Island of peace in a
sea of war. because she has been
prepared to maintain ner neutrality
and her -freedom, or at least to exact
such a price for them that none
of the nations at war can afford to
pay for their violation."
Origin of the Christmas Tree.?St.
Winifred, who was in the eighth century
a missionary to the Scandinavians,
is credited in an ancient legend
with having caused to be set up in
the home of the first Christmas tree.
He told the people: "You shall go no
more into the shadows of the forest
to keep your feast with secret rites,
but you shall keep them at home
with laughter, song and love." |

They All Look Good
There are over 250 so-called Old
Line or "Legal Reserve" Life Insurance
companies in business in the
United States today, and 175 of them
are less than 10 years of age. The
agents of each one of these companies
claims, no doubt, that the particular
company of which he carries a rate
book, is the best in the business and
issues the most liberal contract, etc.,
while many of these agents write
business the large majority could not
do so but for the fact that the average
insurer in buying life insurance, buys
the agent's gab instead of the contract?in
other words, he never undertakes
to see for himself whether
or not the company the agent represents
is old, strong, and well established
and has a record, Covering
its entire career, for giving
each policy holder a square deal, issuing
liberal policies and carrying out
the contract at a low net cost?the
all-important features to consider in
entering what is expected to be a
life-long contract. In other words, he
does not "look before he leaps.'' The
contracts of all companies look good
and liberal and most of them are liberal
when compared with those issued
previous to 10 or 12 years ago, but
when compared with the contract of
some other companies, the Mutual
Benefit of Newark, N. J., for instance,
they do not appear so liberal. Don't
buy insurance from any agent for
personal reasons, but solely because
you are convinced that what you are
buying is the best from every viewpoint,
that is to be had; as you will
probably go on paying premiums on
m illiberal policy In an illiberal company
for many years after the "personal
reasons" have vanished. Don't
buy from the agent who talks nothing
but "low cost" any more than you
would apply the same reason to buying
a suit of clothes, because while
there is a material difference in the
post of clothes and also a material
lifference in their value, there is not
i. material difference in the cost of
Life Insurance, but there is in the
value of the contracta I do not know,
Mr. Man, whether or not you are figuring
on buying Life Insurance, but

Warehoused Cotton
As Security.
The Idea is prevalent that our farmers,
to secure the Best Price for their
Cotton, must market it gradually. The
Farmers and the Public Generally
MUST KNOW that their Banks CAN
and WILL HELP THEM. The more
knowledge of this fact, it is suggested,
may be effective in sustaining the
price of cotton.
To obtain special consideration in
the Interest Rate, It is required that
Loans be based upon
INSURED, WAREHOUSED COTTON.
Along this line. The BANK OF
CLOVER will consider as favorable
aontirltv Paooirtta (aliiinH hv tho Raw].
Ing Green and Filbert Warehouses,
and offer our services to ANT OF
OUR CUSTOMERS who may need
any assistance In this manner of marketing
this cotton crop.
