La /' / - / *7*/ A/ ARE FORGETTING TOO MUCH Writer Criticizes Modern Progress When It Causes Neglect of Much of the Glorious Past. We need, as we never needed be fore, a broader and deeper study of history, of philosophy, of literature; for most of our young, a knowledge of the mental and spiritual past of the race is of far greater importance than a knowledge of the physical past, at the amoeba stage, or any other. Science, much as it can do for us, can never meet our deepest need; the world of imaginative beauty and the world of ethical en deavor are apart from its domain. It has no spring to touch the will, yet that which has, the magnificent in heritance of our literature, is more and more neglected for the latest machinery that applied science has devised, or the most recent treatise on insect, bird and worm. It is well to study insect, bird and worm, for they are endlessly interesting, but I maintain that neither the full sum of knowledge concerning them, nor even the ultimate fact about the ulti mate star, can be a substitute for knowledge of the idealism of Thomas Carlyle, of the categorical imperative of Kant—for that study of the hu manities which mtans preserving, for the upbuilding of youth, that which was best and finest in the past, as we go on toward the future.—From the Atlantic. INTERESTED IN THE SERMON Modern Devotee of Fashion Did Not Seem to Have Taken Dr. Sur- < plice’s Discourse to Heart. On a bright Sunday, when the snow lay white under blue skies and the tinkle of sleighbells gave an air of unaccustomed gayety to the park, our friend Russell Newell happened to observe as he emerged into the Plaza after his morning stroll the encounter of two slender young crea tures, each arrayed in the extreme of fashion and looking (as their way is) as if each particular movement were compounded of a series of at titudes any one of which might serve as the pose for a dashing modem portrait. The pair greeted each •other with effusion. “You don’t mean to tell me, Ermyntrude,” said the one in the bright green, “that you are going to church?” “Yes, I am too, Adeline,” said the one in the indescribable blue, “yes, I am. You see, Dr. Surplice is preaching the most interesting ser mons against the new dress styles. You’ve no idea how much you learn from listening to him. Better come along.”—New York Evening Post. READY FOR THE BORROWERS. “I have eggs as cheap as 30 cents, ma’am, but I wouldn’t guarantee ’em.” “Well, send me a dozen, please. They’ll do to lend the neighbors.”— Life. BUGHOUSE. j V ■ - Mrs. Swivel —How’s your son .Johnny getting along at college?

SYMPATHY. “You should never kick a man when he is down,” observed the old fogy- “No,” replied the grouch. “He is liable to sue for damages.” HER WAY. “That cat has been asking you as hard as she could for a piece of meat, and now she is clawing you for it” ‘Yes, I see she paws for a reply.” NO LIMIT. “Does your wife always insist on having the last word?” “No; she has the first and there never is any last.” AT LEAST MEN FOR A TIME Story of Heroism in the “Underworld” That Is Calculated to Set a Person Thinking. “The underworld I” That word has been bandied about so much of late. It is used to hint at poverty, crime, vice, the petrifaction of am bition, the utter extinction of no bility of character, and sodden deg radation without a redeeming trait. Some even use it with a covert sneer. But listen to what happened when a ramshackle old lodging house in New York’s underworld caught fire. “A crowd of Park row human flot sam and jetsam and boys of the neighborhood bent their backs and bunched themselves together to break the force of the jumps made by seven women from the third floor of the burning building. The jump was more than thirty feet, but the women were saved. “Only one needed a surgeon’s at tention, but some of the men walked away with bruised backs, with heads cut by flying heels and arms strained by the impact. Most of those who made up this human life net said gruffly they had no names when in formation was sought. Others were willing to say Johnny di Martino, Patsy James, Bogo, Johnny Pasola, Kid Limbino, Chinkie the Wop, and such like. The addresses were: ‘Oh, around here.’” Which means “Nowhere at all.” How many self-satisfied householders who take their comfortable homes as a matter of course, who smugly re gard themselves as pillars of the community, could have done better? —Collier‘s Weekly.

City Resident —Mr. Corntassel,, why do your horses slobber so after i eating green clover ? Mr. Corntassel Because they can’t spit. SIMILAR MISFORTUNES. “I went out motoring and the car turned turtle.” “That’s funny. I went out rowing and caught a crab.” A CONTRARY RESOLVE. ■ * \ “See here, my boy, I am going to take a stand.” “What about, pop ?” ‘Your running expenses.” IN THE HOSPITAL. | “I found the directory in the sur i gical ward.” “Ah, I noticed they have removed its appendix.” THE CAUSE. “Young Mrs. Bings has but a bald excuse for staying home so much.” “What is it?” “Her baby.” THAT WAY. “Did your vaccination take?” “In one way.” "What do you mean by that?” "It took my last dollar.” BIG TRADE WITH ARGENTINA American Manufactures Enjoy Much Popularity in That Rapidly De veloping Country. American manufactures have long been popular in Argentina and con stitute an important part of the growing exports to that country. Sales to that country during the last fiscal year, as shown by statements recently prepared by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, de partment of commerce, included many articles of wide use in an agri cultural and rapidly developing country, such as farming imple ments, 6 1-3 million dollars; twine, 2 million; traction and stationary engines, 1 million, and windmills a half-million. Automobiles were ex ported to the extent of I*4 million dollars’ worth; other cars and car riages, 3 million; sewing machines, 880 thousand dollars’ worth; type writers, 355 thousand; cash regis ters, 261 thousand, and miscellane ous machinery, 1% million dollars. Other articles exported in large quan tities included boards and planks, 5 2-3 million dollars; shooks, 2 1-3 million; furniture and other wood manufactures, 1 million; gasoline and naphthas, 2 1-3 million; illumi nating oil, 2*4 million; cottonseed oil, 1 million; leather manufactures, including boots and shoes, 2y 2 mil lion ; chemicals, drugs and medicines, 114 million, and cotton goods and electrical appliances, each about a half-million dollars. Musical in struments, clocks and watches, glass ware, wheelbarrows, soap, blacking, firearms and scales and balances are among the numerous other items illustrative of the wide range covered by the exports from the United States to Argentina. IN HIS OPINION wag \ / / / Jiggs—They say that General Hardtack is as proud as Lucifer. Wiggs—Yes, he is, and with about the same kind of a personal record to be proud of. FARSIGHTED. “Why did you refuse your consent for me to marry your daughter?” asked Baron Fucash. “What difference does it make?” asked Mr. Cumrox. “Your refusal may ruin our hap piness.” “No, it won’t. She’ll marry you anyhow. I’m fixing it so that I won’t be called on to take the blame.” WITH THE MAJORITY. “You are not lifting your voice in this great argument.” “No. I’m saving my voice to cheer with the side that comes out victorious.” MISCONCEPTION OF IDEA. “Are you in favor of the single tax ?” “Certainly not. I don’t see why a bachelor should have to pay any more than a married man.” IT’S DWINDLING. 1 “The iceman’s assistant has been I casting such melting glances at our cook.” “That must be what’s the matter with the ice.” THE HUMAN WAY. “Charity covers a multitude of sins.” “Exactly, and that is why so many people are curious to see what is un der it.” WELL PAIRED. Knicker —They seem a well-mated pair. Bocker —Oh yes, botanically. She is a society bud and he is a bloom ing idiot. —Town Topics. THE STATED CASE. “It’s that prying Mary again in a quarrel with her neighbor.” “I see—a pry-mary disturbance.” DECISION OF SOME MOMENT Ruling by Tennessee Supreme Court Will Probably in Future Be Cited as a Precedent. The supreme court of Tennessee has decided a case which is of inter est here because of the discussion raised last year at the time of the impeachment of Governor Sulzer that the extra session of the legisla ture had no power to impeach the governor because it had convened for a special purpose having to do with the impeachment, says the New York Sun. The case before the court in volved the right of the Tennessee legislature to appropriate $25,000 for an agricultural exposition com pany when the legislature was con vened for the special purpose of pass ing the usual appropriation bills for maintaining the state departments. The court held that under the sec tion of the Tennessee constitution authorizing the governor, on extraor dinary occasions, to convene the gen eral assembly by proclamation, “in which he shall state specifically the purpose for which they are to con vene, but they shall enter on no leg islative business except that for which they were specifically called,” the governor can limit the subject which the legislature can consider, and he can do this by the imposition of qualified matter upon a general subject; and hence that he could qualify the general subject “appro priations” by “necessary to maintain the state’s institutions.” WAS IN NO GREAT DANGER Quiet Little Man’s Story and Subse quent Explanation Made Him Slightly Unpopular. The talk in the smokeroom had turned upon personal risks, and the big man with the loud voice had just related some veracious adven tures and hair-breadth escapes which had happened in the course of his career. Suddenly the quiet little man who. was sitting in a corner spoke up. “Only this morning,” he remarked, “as I was engaged in the ordinary course of my business, a boiler, weighing several tons, came hurling through the air within a few feet of my headl” There were many exclamations of horror, and the big man turned to the speaker with increased respect. “You are engaged in the engineer ing profession, I presume,” he in quired. “No,” said the little man; “I am engaged as a ticket collector, and the incident I refer to occurred when I was standing on the platform of our station and the express went through.” And in the silence which followed the big man let his cigar go out. SEASONABLE. Whithers I had a typical groundhog breakfast this morning. Smithers—Never heard of such a meal. Whithers—Time to learn. I had sausage. TIRED. “I’ve got a watch here that strikes.” “Something new, isn’t it ?” “Not exactly. The blooming thing just refuses to work.”—Yale Record. PLAYING FOR SAFETY. “Your friend asked you to have a cigar, but I notice he didn’t offer me one.” “Ah, you see, he knows I don’t smoke.” —London Tatler. LITERARY THINGS. Bacon—What’s the difference be tween a bookworm and a bookbug ? Egbert—Why, one likes to read ’em, and the other likes to collect ’em. THE RETORT CATTY. Belle—My disposition is so forgiv ing ; I make up so easily. Nell—lt is a pity you can’t apply your disposition to your face. EXCEPTIONS. “A man should not blacken his own business.” “Not even if he manufactures stove polish?” GOOD REASON. Beardsley—What’s the trouble, Mac. You are looking bad. Mac—Oh, the doctor cut out my eye openers.—Wisconsin Sphinx. Winding Up Business. The Chamber of Commerce met at the City Hall Tuesday morning and wound up the business of the last year, and reported having had a most successful year. Completely out of debt and money in the Treas ury. The new officers, elected, at the last regular meeting, have been installed, and the Chamber will now begin actively, not only upon many things of importance already under consideration, but everything new that may come up for the progress of the city.

ACT QUICKLY Delay Has Been Dangerous in Gainesville. Do the right thing at the right time. Act quickly in the time of danger. In time of kidney danger Doan’s Kidney Pills are most effective. Penty of Gainesville evidence of their worth. Mrs. A. J. Martin, 32 West Ave., Gainesville, says: “One of the fam ily has a lot of bending to do and he began to have kidney some time ago. The first symptom was pain in his back when he stooped or turned quickly. He had trouble from his kidneys and the kidney secretions were discolored. He always com plained of being tired. Doan’s Kidney Pills were recommended to him and he began using them. Two boxes removed the attack and made his kidneys normal.’’ A LATER STATEMENT. On April 30, 1914, Mrs. Martin said: “The statement I gave Doan’s Kidney Pills some time ago still holds good. The person who took this remedy has been free from kidney trouble for a long time. Two others of the family have used Doan’s Kidney Pills with good re sults, and are willing to endorse them.” Price sOc, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Martin recommends. Foster- Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. ANNOUNCEMENTS. FOR STATE TREASURER.

K IT All Approve Dodson’s Liver Tone as the Safe Family Remedy for Constipation and Lazy Liver. There are most excellent reasons for Dr. J. B. George standing back of Dodson’s Liver Tone with an un conditional guarantee to refund purchase price (50c.) to you at once without question in event of any dis satisfaction. Seven of America's very highest priced physicians, who were con sulted regarding Dodson’s Liver Tone and who analyzed this vege table liquid remedy carefully with all their skill, knowledge and expe rience, have all agreed on its supe rior merit, harmlessness and effec tiveness. Dodson’s takes the place of dangerous calomel in constipa tion. biliousness, sluggish liver, sick headache, etc. Each of these physicians’ fees was heavy enough to stagger most men; but their judgment is worth all it cost, particularly if it will he the means of leading more people to re fuse to run dangerous risk by taking calomel and other violent remedies. Dodson’s Liver Tone not only re lieves the suffererer from constipa tion’ and kindred ills, but does it easily and naturally, without ache, pain or gripe, with no bad after effects, without interfering with usual duties and habits and abso lutely without danger—which is one reason it can carry an iron-clad guarantee. It has proved a boon to so many that it is recommended for you to try at once.
