The Knocking of The Beast.
There is a whole heap of truth
in the following article on the
^ newspaper man anil the chronic
kicker. Every newspaper man has
characters of the kind to contend
with and they are the bane of his
Tiifc The article which is from the!
Chapel Hill News, says:
"Did you ever think of it? Suppose
every buisuess'man in the town
took as much interest in the up
building of the town as the newspaper
man. lie works for railroads,
churches, schools, good streets, enforcement
of the law and a hundred ,
other things for the general gool;^
I
he urges,scolds, badgers and cavorts
around generally until he g-fs what
besets out for. Imagine iiis feeling,
then, wii -n sun- Ian- string-halt
kind of fellow reproaches him
oecause he do?sn't imom things
enough aud nine times out of ten
that same fellow has never spent one
cent to-wards the support of the
paper and the paper he reads with
with marked regularity is either bortowed
from the next door neighbor
or picked from a counter in the
store at which he trades." Wil

Let ''Dixie" Alone.
Women of the Confederate Choir
of America have fitted new j^ori's to
' Dixie," beginning:
Oh Dixie land is the la. ?.
The land of cherished g . . u
story."
In thinking of that the old words
'cinnamon seed and sandy bot-*
1
torn and Hie rest are 1101 goou
enough the ladies are mistakeu.
What set ''Dixie"' going, what made
Lincoln call it the best song of the
war, what makes New York's theatre
and restaurant audiences thrill
with it, though they may never
have been further South than Atlantic
City, is its spirit. The words
have ''go." By the memory of the
lips that have sung them they
should be protected from change.
Only so can tiie song retain its history
and its sentiment.
Old words fit old songs. "America"
is poor stuff, but no attempt to
fit new words to the tune has sueceeded.
Custom will not have it. "God
Save the Kiug" is no better. There
is not much poetry in
Frustrate their knavish tiicks!
Confound their politics!
But that is the way it goes and will
so. The attempt to suppress some
of the fighting words of "The 3tarSpangleu
Banner" deserves to fail.
There are impolite expressions "LiN
libullero" and "A Health to King
Charles," but they can ill be spared.
Could anv new words fit the "Marsellaise"
so well as do those that de
ITsle dashed off in one night's feverish
excitement? What German
would tamper with "Koerner's
Hymn" or the "Watch 011 the
Rhine?"
If the old songs could speak foi
themselves they would all say, "Let
us alone!" New York World.

feeling of buoyancy and energy by
the judicious use of Dr Shoop's Restorative.
The Restorative is a
genuine tonic to tired, rundown
nerves.and but a fewdoses are needed
to satisfy the user that Dr Shoop's
Restorative is actually reaching that
tired spot. The indoor life of winter
nearly always leads to sluggish
bowels, aud to sluggish circulation
in general. The customary lack of
exercise and outdoor air ties up the
liver, stagnates the kidneys, and ofttimes
weakens the Heart's action.
Use Dr Shoop's Restorative a few
weeks and all will be changed. A
few days test will tell you that vou
re using the right remedy. You
will easily and surely note the
chang cfrom day to day. Sold by

happy by not haviug them.
The average man would rather run

A man can afford to be a fool
when it's the way he spends the
income of a large fortune.
No matter how sorry a woman can
be that she married a man, she can
be a lot gladder that she kept some
other girl from getting him.
The fact that some men are self

Some people are always looking
for an excuse to make an excuse.

Clothes may not make the man

break him.

UP IN A BALLOONT
The Exhilaration That Comes With a
Trip Through tho Air.
Floating softly up into the blue
ocean of air, wq/ching the carti;
sink slowly away beneath us and
fade and change quietly to an immense
map spread before < ur won-1
Jering eyes such are the lirst im
pressions of balloon voyagers. The
noisy shouts of those who come to ;
wish us "Ron voyage!" become
fainter and fainter until absolute
*i _*:ii
quiet reign* about us. 11 is so sun i
that the ticking of the cJock in the
barograph is heard noisily counting;
the second* as it traces the line of
our upward flight across the sheet.
Meanwhile the earth map down i
la-low us stretches out larger and!
I
larger, but its details are fading'
and becoming blurred. High hills
have changed to flat surfaces. A
river winds and bends its way j
through the duller colors like a tan,gled
ribbon of silver. A small lake i
sparkles in the sunshine, giving life
and fire to the sober shades about
it. A railway train creeps slowly
along, its trail of smoke streaming!
back over it. But as we look it suddenly
disappears from sight, apparently
swallowed up before our,
eyes. Then we realize that it has
plunged into the tunnel through a
hill which to us seems only a flat
surface. Now it anpears again,
coming out on the other side.
So the wonderful scenes come and
go, ever changing, but ever grand j
and inspiring scenes that comcj
back to us real and vivid, that we
* - 1-1. i
may live tnem over again in iaierj
davs. The cloud effects are at times :
the most beautiful of all. After hav-!
ing sailed up through these into the
dazzling 6unlight we see the 6nowy
billows just below our car, the shadow
of our balloon falling upon their
white surface. This shadow is often
surrounded ^by a halo of rainbow
colors of iare beauty. At such
times one has the feeling of having;
left the earth completely and to
" have reached some other planet.
The white masses just below seem
to be quite solid and look as though
one might step out of the balloon
and take a stroll over them if one
only had snowshoes. The air is
wonderfully cleai and pure and
gives one a feeling of exhilaration
much greater than that enjoyed in
mountain climbing. Henry B. Hersey
in Century.
Whir* Soldiers Must 8wim.
In the Dutch army a man must
ko oklo tn cwim or well flR to fiffht.
?v O
Moreover, if he is in the cavalry he
must have a horse which will take a
river as easily as a hunter takes a
fence. Swimming maneuvers are
part of the regular drill there. Collapsible
canvas boats manned by a
few oarsmen lead the horses so that
they do not attempt to land on
stone quays and other difficult
points. The men swim across with
their horses and on them. They do
it in swimming costume and in all
the accouterments of war. There
are few nautical emergencies in
which the Dutch army is not prepared.
Some of the officers have
even reached a degree of proficiency
that not only their horses and kit
cross the river with them, but their
pet dogs sit upon their shoulders
and are borne over almost without
getting wet. Stray Stories.
Something For Her Neck.
A ludicrous story is told of a
young Japanese engineering apprentice
in connection with the Christines
custom of kissing. He was.

England and was astonished when
a waitress at the dining rooms which
he regularly frequented kissed him
under the mistletoe. On its being
explained to him that a present was
expected in return, he suggested a
pair of gloves.. The damsel, however,
had heard that he was immensely
wealthy and gently hinted
that something for her neck would
be more acceptable. When the present
arrived next day she conjured
up visions of a pearl necklace as she
tremblingly undid the parcel. Then
was disclosed to her disappointed
gaze a Jap's idea of "something for
her neck." It took the shape of a

John Smith.
Transferred to other languages,
the plain name "John Smith" seems
to climb the ladder of respectability.
In Latin it is Johannes Smithus; the
Italians smooth it off into Giovanni
Smithi; the Spaniards render it
Juan Smihus; the Dutchman adopts
it as Hans Schmid; the French flatten
it into Jean Smeets; the Russian
turns it into Jonloff Smittowski;
at Canton John Smith becomes
Jahon Shimmit; the Icelanders say
he is Jon Smithson; among the Tuscaroras
he becomes Tom Qa Smittia;
in Poland he is known as Ivan
Schmittiweiski; among the Welsh
mountains they call him Jihon
Schmidd; at Mexico his name is
written Jontli F'Smitri; in Greece
he turns to Ion Sinikton, and in
Turkey be is almost lost in Yoo
