r IN THE LAND OF FREEDOM
Customs of Great United States Differ
From Those of Effete European
Monarchies.
The Princess Parlaghy, con
demning in New York the recent in
vasion of her Plaza suite by the po
lice, said:
“The way I have been treated re
minds me of a story.
“A foreigner was being shown
over New York by a native. The
two men visited the downtown dis
trict. Here they waded ankle-deep
in old news paper and straw and
wrapping paper, and every little
while the sidewalk was so crowded
with packing cases and boxes, and
what not, that they had to climb and
leap as if they were up among the
Alps.
“ ti\ e don’t allow anything like
this where I come from,’ panted the
foreigner as he prepared to spring
across a chasm between a mound of
cotton bales and a stack of flour bar
rels. •
“T he native answered proudly, as
he leaped from the top of a piano
case and broke his ankle •
“ T know you don’t, but this, by
jingo, is a free country.’”
NO PHYSICAL NEED FOR REST
Violinist Was There for Work, No
Matter What the Intention of
the Composer.
All college men know’ Harry Ben
nett, the orchestra leader. He can
swing his men into an accompani
ment for any college song that ever
was written, on a moment’s notice.
In the early days of his career he
took charge of the music of a com
pany of which the once famous
“Fatty” Stewart was tlie head, en
gaging his orchestra in the towns
where he showed. In North Adams
the musicians were employes of the
foundry, amateurs, but fully equal
to almost anything. For Stewart’s
entrance there were blasts from the
bugle, with the rest of the orches
tra silent. At the rehearsal the bugle
sounded, but the first violin from
the foundry kept right on, notwith
standing.
“Here, you,” said Bennett, “you’ve
got four bars of rest there.”
“That’s all right, mister,” said the
violinist, sawing away, “I ain’t
tired.”
ANCIENT ISRAELITE CAPITAL.
An Austrian theological professor,
Dr. Ernest Sellin, engaged in the
excavation work in Palestine, reports
that he has discovered in the hill of
Balanta, in Samaria, the founda
tions of the ancient Israelite capital,
Shechem.
Although the professor was only
able to work less than three weeks,
he succeeded in uncovering some
very interesting objects connected
with the various periods of the city’s
history—Canaanite, late Israelite
and Hellenic. Amongst them are ar
rows, rings, pitchers and jugs, and
other household utensils, chiefly
made of silver or bronze.
THE ONLY WAY.
“You will have to have a police
man at the intellectual debate you’re
planning.”
“What do we want a policeman
for?”
“To arrest the audience’s atten
tion.”
PATHETIC CASE.
“Auntie, did you ever get a pro
posal ?”
“Once, dear. A gentleman asked
me to marry him over the telephone.
But he had the wrong number.”
THE RULING PASSION.
Telegraph Operator—The message
shouldn’t exceed ten words.
Fair Sender —But I can add a
postscript, can’t 1 ?
REALLY IMPORTANT.
“He seems to be a man of impor
tance in the community.”
“He is. Two-thirds of the citi
zens have sworn to shoot him.”
FRANK OPINION.
“How did you enjoy my last
song?” he asked.
“Why, I enjoyed it because it wa»
your last,” was his reply.
SOME WEIGHT.
Mrs. Beacon—You seem to have a
great weight on your mind, John.
Mr. Bacon—Yes, I’m thinking of
those biscuits you baked yesterday.

Large Crowd at Camp Meeting.
A goodly number from this place |
attended the camp meeting at An
tioch last Sunday, audit is said that
there were more people at the cam]
ground than was ever known before i
in the history of this meeting place. !
Good sermons are being preached '
every day. and the attendance is
heavy
Camp Meeting at Home.
Rev. and Mrs. F. B. Harris, as
sisted by able Christian people of

place on W. Broad street. A good !

Mrs. Scoggins 111.
The friends of Mrs. J. W. Scog
gins will regret to learn that she has
been quite ill at her Imine on Rainey

The Indifferent Suffragette.
Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who de- j
termined in her youth to be Presi
dent of the Cnited States and who
did actually ’•run” for that office in
1884, is now poverty-stricken in her
oid age, and two efforts to raise
funds for her assistance are said to
have failed. Yet one would think
the woman suffragists of America
would not only contribute liberally ’
but sound the praises of Mrs.
Lockwood as a pioneer soldier and
heroine in the .-truggle to obtain
•’woman’s rights.”
Discussing the plight of Mrs.
Lockwood, and the recent death in
abject poverty of Miss Phoebe Cous
ins, a pioneer woman lawyer of
America, the Chicago Tribune asks
why women are “not as sympathetic
as men are” toward those who
have “fought the fight and reached
hard sledding.”
Calls Work on Roads Involuntary-
Servitude.
Washington, Aug. 22.—Whether
making a man work on the public
roads is imposing “involutary ser
vitude” in violation of the federal
constitution, is the novel issue raised !
by Jacob Butler, of Columbia ,
county, Flordia, in a case just dock-|
eted in the supreme court.
Butler was arrested for failure to ■
comply with the provision of the }
Florida statute req Hiring able-bodied I
citizens to work on the public roads:
six days or pay three dollars into
the roads fund. Although similar!
statutes are in force in many states,
this is the first time the eonstitu- }
tionalty of any of them has been I
brought to the supreme court on the I
point in question.
