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.” NO SCOOP I hESB. fl Both est rue- OIMII ■ Wml ini' ® ' The Politician —Your paper called me a liar yesterday.

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.

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.

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.” LULA. ~ The farmers are very busy.
