BOASTING 18 BAD.
Boosting end blustering are ns
objectionable among nations as
among lislivlduals. and the pub
lic men of s, great nation owe It
to their senee of national self re
spect to speak courteously of
foreign powe,s, just ns a brave
nnd self respecting man treats
all around him courteously. But
though to boast Is bad nnd
causelessly to Insult another
worse, yet worse than all Is it to
be guilty of boasting, even with
out'Insult, and when called to
the proof to be unable to make
such boasting good. There Is a
homely old adage which runs:
"Speak softly and carry a big
stick. You will go far." ' If the
American nation will speak soft
ly aud yet build and keep at a
pitch of tba highest training a
thoroughly efllclent navy the
Monroe doctrine will go far.—

Roy Made a Good Guess.
Frod Lane guessed within forty-
five minutes of the time that It
would take for the candle In Breed

dle was abottt four feet long and hsd
as much tallow In It os twenty-five
or thirty candles would ordinarily
have. It was lighted about two or
three week! ago and people have
, been guessing how long It would
take to burn out since then. The
candle went out thin morning at 4.5A
o’clock. It wan found 'that young
Lane hsd guessed within forty-five
mlnutet of the time to be consumed
In burning.
H. A. Von Hayerbolm undertook to
figure out how long It would take,
making a mathematical calculation.
He mletsd It just fifty elx minutes
and twenty-four second* This was
pretty eloee gut-sring. though the n-

since the Tifton-Valdosta route for
ths Journal-Herald National High
way has been declared U Is now
proposed to organise an amateur
baseball league between six ot the
cities on the highway, Including
Vienna, Cordele, Ashburn, Ttfton,

It It pointed ont that with ths

Forty-Flee of Them Were Pulled by
Officers nt Waycross
.Forty-three hoboes from one train
Is a record that will probably stand
In Georgia for a long time. It waa
made on an Atlantic Coast Line
special operated from Jacksonville
to Lexington. Ky., and officers bad
completed their raid by the time
the train reached Waycross. Three
speclsl agents, O. T. Hill, of Val
dosta, Mitch Thomas from Way-
cross, and G. 8. Godbold of Savan
nah figured in the raida made on
the cars, of the special. They had
with them sixty pair of handcuffs,
and worked a car at a time.
The speclsl ,was composed of race
track followers and their equip
ment, nnd feed for horses carried
along In palace horse cars. In one
hay pile eight hoboes were caught,
while others were pulled from bar
rels and boxes In various parts of
the train.
By a previous order the officers
were Instructed) to liberate the men
It farce were collected. The ho
boes nil forked across the oash.fara
charged on pasaengor trains be
tween Jacksonville and Waycross
for the privilege of getting rid ot a
pair of handcuffs and getting off the
train Jit WnycrosB. Had no-fares
been -paid all the men caught, ne
groes nnd whiten, wqulri hove been
turned over to the Wave county au
thorities at Waycross lor trial lu

When these lace horses were
shipped from New Orlenna to Jack
sonville, the railroad people found
out that a small army ot hoboea
andi hostlers were on the train and
they were arreated nt Quitman. The
train was carried to n trestle this
aide of there and the officers took
the tramps off before they could
flee to tbe woods.
