In poker parlance, Kaiser Bill and Teddy would be a splendid pair to draw to. Ihe trouble with the Republicans is that the people have begun to do their own thinking. There is not a grafter in the United States that does not hate Wil liam Jennings Bryan. Did you ever think of that? The Democratic party should throw j all bosses overboard. Better to loose with good, clean men, than to win ! with corrupt bosses. Clouds of disease and pain cut off Mark Twain, who made more sun shine for other people than any oth er American. Peace to his soul. Men like Paterson has no busi-1 ness in the Democrats party. He is one of the so-called Tennessee Dem ocrats that refused to vote for Bryan. If by accident or oversight the census man should happen to skip you, call his attention to it so as he can count you and help swell the population. The only dark clouds in the Dem ocratic firmament is caused by such men as Patterson and Taggert. All such spoilsmen should be kicked out of the party. Macon, Ga., seem to be trying to keep i"p with the divorce procession. One day last week thirty-six divorces were granted in two hours by the court in that city. The farmers are being paid less for their wheat, corn ana meat by the big trusts, but it will be a long time before the buicher and gro'nr will .hear about it. Some one says that the reason that Aldrich and Hale have declined to be candidates for re-election, is because there is quite a reaction against machine made goods in leg lisation. The Spartanburg Journal says "be cause young men waste their time and throw away opportunities, they are sentenced to hard labor for life, and the longer they live the harder the labor." While Senator Depew has not de cided whether to retire from the Senate or not, the voters of New York give unmistakable evidence that they will retire him when they get a whack at him. Billie Hearst, the political nonde script, declares for Taft. This is the worst streak of luck that has yet befallen Brer Taft. There can be nothing in common between the yel low kid and a man like the Presi dent. If the Democrats keep on captur ing Republican strongholds as they have recently done in Massachusetts and New York, there won't be Re publicans enough in the next House to serve antiquarians as -historical specimens. 'Some Republican Senators seeing that they could not be re-elected have announced that they will not be can didates for re-election. Sensible men. There are others, who do not seem to have the foresight to get out of the way of the gathering storm. President Taft's appointment of Governor Charles E. Hughes of New York to be a justice of t.he United , States supreme court to succeed Jus- , tice Brewer is a good thing for the | New York Democrats. It will enable ; them to elect the next Governor i without much trouble. (Mr. Bryan objects to the appoint- ; ment of Hughes to the Supreme ; Bench because he has always been on the side of the trusts. President 1 Taft does not want any other kind | of lawyers for office. He Is a trust ; man himself, and he believes in ap pointing no other kind to cabinet positions and judgeships. ( The Bamberg Herald says "we ; know of no more disgusting and fil- i thy habit than chewing tobacco and i 6pitting all around. Between the i two habits, we would choose drink- i ing whiskey rather than chewing to bacco." Truly, as the old woman said when she kissed the cow, there is no accounting for tastes. The decision of the United States Supreme Court to.have a rehearing of, the Standard Oil case, because of the j death of Justice Brewer, is a keen disappointment, and to some extent j exasperating. This case has been be-i fore the public and the courts so long that the desire for a speedy settle-1 ment is but natural. The longer it is put off the stronger will grow t.he suspicion in some minds that the' Standard Oil and other monopolies can fight off a decision indefinitely and ultimately win out. Each Man Can Help. I Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce, and Business Men's Asso J ciations are institutions which a ! small city or town, cannot, as a rule, sustain with any great success. Nevertheless it is within the power of each citizen to help the business, moral and intellectual interests ot his community. He can constitute himself an advertising agent, taking ? a.-'vnnta^e of every opportunity to speak of its merits. This is far bet ter every way t.han running a place down. Of course if one is so disposed he j can find some blemishes in even the best town, but he who delights to do that and conceal the good is on a par with the man who takes pleas ure in airing family troubles . With both it is mean, despicanie business. While by no means shutting' one's ' eyes to evils that may evist, the loy j al, patriotic citizen will do his best j to remedy these evils, and, at tho ! same time, make prominent the many good things wh:eh every place pos sesses. /Many a town, not so well favored with natural advantages as some ot.hers, has flourished because its people with true civic pride have i worked incessantly for its welfare, ! and there arc towns with great nat ural resources that have languished, because its inhabitants were not alert to their opportunity. All of which goes to show t.hat a town is just what its people make it. Its con dition, prosperous or otherwise, ac curatelv reflects their attitude and disposition. Would They Unite? The increased cost of living is hav ing it3 effect on the Christian min istry. From various quarters comes the news that owing to inadequate salary many ministers have given up their charges and turned to other occupations that promise better re muneration. Some people advance the idea that this fact may prove a blessing in disguise by reducing the number of churches in small towns that are over-supplied. They say with truth that it is no uncommon thing to find four or more churches in a town of 1,000 people and as a consequence pitifully small salaries are paid, and to pay these a constant drain is made not only on the purse of the citizens, but also on the var ious home mission boards. Fewer churchse with better salaries and more efficient^ preachers they con contend, would advance the cause of religion and be an advantage all round. This all may be true, but ^he trouble would be to get the dif ferent denominations to unite under the leadership of one minister. Re ligious prejudices are the hardest of all prejudices to eradicate. We have known real, good Christians to live a life time in a community without church affiliations simply because their particular denomination was r>ct represented in that community. This is about the way the plan sug gested above would work out. What We Need. Mr. Zach McGhee says that the opinion in Washington is that the refusal of Aldrich to run again means that the Republicans who are re sponsible for the condition of things are like rats, deserting the old ship before she goes down, and it does look very much as if she is going, which leads the Florence Times "to remark again that the very best men that we have in our South Carolina districts are not in the lesat too good t j represent us in the next con gress. We want men who can Inspire a confidence in the Democratic par ty, men in whom we can have a con fidence, men who are Democrats from principle even if a little opportunity for getting some of the floating boun ties is offered to them. It is men we need in the next congress; we haven't time to wait for them to grow after they get there." We ful ly agree with The Times. The votes of the Democrats w.ho aided the Re publicans in fastening the plunder publicans in fastening the tariff on the people simply because it protect ed some industry in their districts are stumbling block today in the path of a great Democratic victory. If it was not for these recreant Democrats, the party could appeal on its tariff record to the people, and the result is shown in the recent congressional elections In Massachu setts and New York. Stay With It. "Stay with it" was the sage ad vice that a leader gave to a party of colonists that was getting disheart ened at some unexpected difficulties that arose. Most of them took .his advice and stayed and the result jus tified the wisdom of his advice and of their decision. The truth is there are many people in this world who ire too ready to give up when dif ficulties appear, and t.hat is one main reason for their non-success in life. They do not understand that the testing which obstacles impose real ly make for success and for the un folding of certain needful qualities when that testing is met with grim determinination not to give up. "Stay with it" is an injunction which many a young man embarking in some en terprise will do well to heed. Keep everlastingly at your calling what ever it may be and success will come at last. Queer Advice. .'Apparently some people are going to make financial gain out of the comet. Such seems to be the intent of the cleraynian who urges unmar ried people to get married at once, because, so he says, the comet's tail is going to sweep everybody off the face of i.he earth some time in May. The strange thing about it is that many people believe him and are following his advice: which goes to show that not only is superstition not dead, but that some people seem to be afraH to go alone into the here after. But the thought occurs, has anyone a moral right, especially when the motive is selfish, to scare others out of their wiis by alarmist proph ecies about a harmless comei? k strikes us very queer advice, even if the ccmet was going to do all the dreadful thinrs attributed to if.

Mo., in the Ozark3. a settler haa h. farm which probably Is unlike any other in the world. This farm occupies the table land on the summit of a ridge and is en 3lnsed with a fence which no animal has ever broken through. It does not "ise above the surface of the farm. ?iut falls sheer from the edge a dis tance ot many feet. The man who homesteaded the tableland had a hard climb up the perpendicular cliff to react the comparatively level sum mit. At one point a Isdge extends out a few Inches and a'ong the face of thp cliff at an upward grade. By fol lowing this ledge anr1 making use of occasional points ot rocks and of shrubs growing In the fissures the discoverer pulled himself to the sura n It and found a surface well covered with soli and a luxuriant vegetation. Gradually he improved the ledge until he could carry up tools and seed. By blasting and drilling he cleared a narrow trail up which he was able to take first-some pigs and then a cow. Later on he took up a norse And that to-day is the condition of the curiously protected farm N'o vehicle has turned a wheel within Its limits of palisades The live stock has multiplied and cohoiimeB the grain raised. Some stones thrown across the trnli completely fence in the hogs and cattle When the farmer has stock to r*ell he drives the animals down the private trail and strikes the road to Jasper.? Kansas City Star. Books Returned After Years. With the best system and careful watching books go asiray. but it Is hard to write them off as entirely "lost." since they have a way of turning up that is only paralleled by the cat of lyric fame. The other day at the desk of one ot the oldest city Institutions, the Philadelphia library at Locust and Juniper streets there was returned by a fair borrower, a book that had been cut a little over three years Fortunately for the borrower, no fines were exacted and after she bad gone une question as to whether the woman had not established a record, was asked. "No. Indeed," said the librarian "We have In the library beveral vol umes that were held ten rifteen and twenty years, and one book that was returned to us after being gone for over a century! It Is one of a val uable set of the classics, and after succeeding in hiding Itself so long, finally turned up in Holland, where its label declared its lawful place of abode and the honest finder lost no time In forwarding It to Philadel phia Yes, we have books out still longer, and I bav not tht least doubt that some c .em will yet find their way back to our shelves." Deepest Rooted of All Hntes. The age long hatred of the whit* race tor the black, yellow and other colored races is by no means one sided. It is fully mutual. Years ago Livingston observed that There must be something In the ap pearance of white men frightfully repulsive to the unsophisticated na tives of Africa; for on entering vil lages previously unvisited by Euro peans, if we met a child coming quietly and unsuspectingly toward us, the moment he raised his eyes and saw the men in 'bags be would take to his heels in i n agony of ter ror, sucb as we might feel if we met a live Egyptian mummy at the door of the British Mureum. Alarmed by the child's wild outciles, the mother rusnea out of the hut. but darts back agalD at the flrj gMmpse of the fear ful apparition. Dogs turn tail and scour off In dismay, and hens, abandoning their chickens, fly screaming to the tops of .he houses," The same is true, though perhaps In a lesser degree, of the other color ed races. tVliere the Tips Go. "Bet I can teil yob something you don t know about the tipping system In the cloakrooms of some of the large cafes.'" remarked a midnight diner to his wife "Why?don't the smaii boys Just pocket all they 'et?' Inquired she "Pocket! Their uniforms are made without a s;gn of a pocket so that none of the tips can find a lodg ing thete, fiose hoys get nothing but a sa'ary which is paid by a man who has purchased the cloakroom prlv lege for as ugh as five thousand a year. The tips are all turne I in to him. You can imagine what the privilege Is worth when he can ay dowu .hat sur. for the rljut." The Nominee's Fall.

Had pains in my head and eyes. It felt as though there was a heavy weight on the top of my head, until it seemed that my brain would burst. I was so nervous that I could not rest or sleep. When I dozed off I would awake with a sudden jerking of my whole body. Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Remedy and Nerve and Liver Pills cured me. A number of friends have since realized the same benefits." MRS. ALVIN H. LOCKS, Seab?x>k, N. H. The after effects of LaGrippe are often more serious than the disease, as it leaves the system in a weakoned condition that invites more serious troubles, such as pneumonia, etc. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine should be taken for some time to thoroughly restore nerve strength. Dr. Miles' Nervine Is sold by all drug gists. If tbe first bottle does not benefit, your druggist will return your money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
