SHE DIDN’T KNOW THE JUDGE
Therefore the Buyer of Antiques Ob
tained the Old Fender for
Half Price.
Ebon Googins keeps a small, lit
tered shop on Main street. His mod
eat sign reads, “Second Hand Fur
niture,” instead of the more impos
ing legend, “Antiques,” but his un
derstanding of the psychology of the
antiquary is worthy of a wider field.
“What is the price of this?” asked
a customer, braced for the conven
tional var of words with pawnbrok
ers and antique dealers, whom she
had grown expert in beating down.
Buirher challenge did not draw the
conventional retort from Eben. He
fingered the wrought-iron fender she
had unearthed from between a mas
sive and valueless veneered high-boy
and a broken spinning-wheel, and
said, with a covert and calculating
eye upon her:
“Did you over know Judge Allen
of Foxcroft?”
Judge Allen, the great man of a
little town, who had inherited a
widely famed collection of antique
furniture, and had enlarged it gen
erously, was known to the bargain
hunter by reputation only.
“You were not acquainted with
the judge? Then the price of the
fender is $3.”
“But why?” asked the bargain
hunter, wondering whether she was
being favored with an example of
Yankee humor or Yankee shrewd
ness, and bewildered by this abrupt
method of closing a trade.
“If you had known the judge,”
Eben enlightened her patiently, with
a sly gleam reminiscent of past tri
umphs in his faded eyes, “I could
have asked you six.”

BLIND POINTS IN MEMORY. k
“I don’t remember,” is a frequent
answer from the witness box when
the sudden question is put. And it
is often a question such as any man
might be expected to answer offhand.
It would be a very intelligent jury
that would understand the man who
could not remember where he
lunched every day. But there is
probably not a juryman on the lists
who could not tell a story of his own
sudden Ityise of memory —when the
name, the date of importance had
come under the blind point of mem
ory, just as you turn the head and
watch the dot on the paper —misses
it— and then regains it.
OLDEST UNIVERSITIES.
The oldest universities on the con
tinent of Europe are those of Bo
logna, Paris and Salamanca. In Eng
land Oxford and Cambridge are the
most ancient. Many of the earlier
universities were the outgrowth of
the intellectual movement known as
“Scholacticism.” Great scholastics
like Abelard and others would draw
about them crowds of young men to
listen to their lectures, and the lec
tures were followed by the perma
nent. institution known as the uni
versity. In such way Abelard be
came the practical founder of the
University of Paris.
SNUFF CLUB FOR MOTORISTS.
A Snuff club has been established
in Leeds, England, and it is stated
that motoring is largely responsible,
since the motorist cannot, in his
runs into the open, enjoy his cigar.
A former canon of Leeds was in
his earlier days a retail vender of
tobacco, including snuff, and wore
a white apron behind the counter.
The new club is started with a
promise of presenting its members
with the Order of the Snuff Box.
TALKING LOSES MANY A JOB
Man Who Succeeds Is Not He Who
Spends the Working Hours
in Conversation.
Conversation has lost many a man
his job. The man who spends a part
of his working hours in conversation
decentralizes his energies, weakens
his ability to concentrate and pours
sand into the machinery of the insti
tution.
The man v'ho puts “the punch”
into his work is not the man who
gossips with the man at the neigh
boring desk, or ’who hangs around
corridors and corner cigar stores in
dulging in idle conversation.
The man who makes the toilet
room of an office building a social
resort never gets to the top of the
ladder. The toilet room orator may
be popular with the drones of the in
stitution, but it is always observed
that he has neither influence nor
money to lend. He is generally the
kind of man w r ho tries to use a “pull”
to get a raise.
Failure in life is the result of the
abuse of opportunity and malinger
ing. It is the man who keeps busy
who keeps healthy, and only the
healthy in mind and body rise to the
top.
Some men are so busy looking for
help that they forget to help them
selves.
The only “pull” that counts in
getting closer to the goal of success
is the “puli’ that comes from per
sonal effort on one’s own behalf, abil
ity and push.
The man who expends his energies
in expatiating on the merits of this
or that baseball club robs himself of
the energy required to seize opportu
nities and advance. —The Mediator.
BUTTING IN

UNPOPULAR TAX.
Among other unpleasant taxes
there used to be a tax upon the Eng
lish hearth. In 1662 it was ordered
that “hearth money,” 98 cents,
should be collected for each house
holder for the privilege of warming
his feet. Tins, too, on each hearth
fire or stove in his house. It was not
a popular tax. It was hard to evade.
The tax collector was given power to
count the chimneys from the inside
of the house, and chimneys, unlike
windows, cannot be blocked up and
concealed until the assessor has
taken their number. The tax was
collected with vigor until William
TIL repealed it, “in order to erect a
lasting monument of their majesties’
‘ goodness .in every hearth in the king
dom.”
NAMING THE BOY.
Old Jum, gardener and general
factotum, was accompanied one day
by a bright looking lad eight or ten
years old.
“Is this your boy ?” I asked.
“Yessuh. he mine, de last one I gat
suh—Junior, you wuffless nigger,
mek vou manners ter de white
folks!”
“Junior,” I commented. “So he
is named after you?”
“Nawsuh,” the old man replied,
rather indignantly ; “he ain’ name
fur me! My name J umbo, whar my
mammy git out’n de Bible. Dis
hyar chile name Junior cuz he wuz
bawn in June.”—Lippincott’s.
CONSIDERATION.
Flubb—Norah, mail this post card

good cigars.
Mrs. Flubb—But you have lots of

Flubb—My dear, do you think it’s

down three flights of stairs merely
to mail a postcard? We must be
considerate of others.
LEADING WILSON SUPPORTER
SAYS UNDERWOOD WILL WIN
Hon. W. T. Lane, of Americus, sev
i eral times a member of the legisla
. ture from Sumter county, a well
known lawyer and a strong Wilson
i supporter, has practically given up
the fight in Georgia, and now express-
I es the opinion that Underwood will
carry the state.
Mr. Lane has taken a prominent
stand in politics in his section, gets
• around considerably over his congres
! sional district, and his judgment can
i not be questioned.
He says “Georgia may, and proba
| bly will, follow the example of Ala
| bama, and declare for Underwood.”
Here is Mr. Lane’s statement, in
which he makes this interesting ad
mission as it appeared in Wednes
day’s Americus Tunes-Recorder.
“I believe Wilson is the best candi
date, in the sense that he is most
likely to be a winner before the peo
ple,’’ said W. T. Lane, the well-known
attorney yesterday, “but 1 am free to
confess that while I will support Wil
son, the outlook favors Underwood
in this entire section of the state, and
probably throughout the state. I can
readily appreciate that the Under
wood sentiment is developing
strength rapidly. But while Georgia
may, and probably will, follow the ex
ample of Alabama and declare Under
wood to be its preference, I am still
free to say that 1 believe that Wilson
is the most available candidate for
the party to nominate. Underw r ood is
a man of fine capacity and undoubted
experience and ability as a political
leader and statesman, but I cannot
believe that the north is yet willing
to accept a southern man. It seems,
though, that he will have some sub
stantial backing in the convention.
Georgia looks very much like sending
an Underwood delegation.”

painful that it was hard for me to at
tend to my housework. T always felt
tired and there was a null, dragging
down pain through my hips. I also had
. a great deal of trouble from the kidney
'secretions. In a short time after I be
| gan using Doan’s Kidney Pills, I no
v ticed a marked improvement and I con
j tinued taking them until I got strong
and well.’’ (Statement given April

A CONFIRMED ENDORSEMENT.
' Mrs. West was interviewed on March
4, 1911 and she said: “I again recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills as an excel
