HE WANTED TO KNOW.
The Politician Tells the Man From
Mars a Few Things.
“How do you manage your railroads
In this countryV’ inquired the man
from Mars. “In those countries of
the old world which 1 have visited
they are owned and managed by the
government.”
“Inasmuch as I have never been
abroad,” replied the politician. "I must
of course conclude that their methods
are purely theoretical. We in this coun
try pride ourselves on being practical.”
“May I ask you to explain':” said the
man from Mars.
“Certainly,” replied the politician.
“Our practice proceeds on the theory
that the government is too poor and too
inefficient to own and manage our rail
ways. Accordingly the work is turned
over to private individuals.”
“And are the individuals trustwor
thy?”
“By no means,” said the politician.
“We have to appoint railroad commis
sions to watch them.”
“The commissions, then, are to lie
depended upon?”
"Not at all. They are watched by the
legislatures.”
“And the legislatures?”
“They in turn are watched by the
magazines.”
“Oh. I see; the magazines are the
filial arbiters. That is very interest
ing.”
"No; you are mistaken. The maga
zines are watched by the people.”
“Of course. It finally gets back to
the people. They act upon the informa
tion provided by the magazines. Surely
the people do not need watching.”
“Wrong again. That's where we
come in.” said the politician, proudly
sticking his thumbs in the armholes of
his waistcoat. “We have to watch the
people to keep them from watching
us.”
“And how does it all work?” inquired
the man from Mars.
“We are living very easy, thank
you,” answered the politician.—Success

The Wake Was Fine.
Dennis aud Patrick were leaning
over tbe rail of the big liner. Off to the
starboard was a dingy coal barge, the
hull of a once graceful clipper ship.
“What kind of a boat is thot. Pat?”
queried Dennis as he shaded his eyes
with his hand.
“Thot is what yez call a dead ship.”
replied Patrick.
Dennis watched the bubbles churuiug
under her stem for a long while.
“Pat!”
“Well, Dinny?”
“ ’Tis a dead ship, eh?”
“Yis, Dinny.”
“Well, bedad, Oi b’lave ut. Look ut

A Subtle Difference.
Mrs. Blank, wife of a prominent

her:
“Matilda. I wish that you would
have oatmeal quite often for break
fast. My husband is very fond of it.
lie is Scotch, and you know that the
Scotch eat a great deal of oatmeal.”
"Oh, lie's Scotch, is he?” said Matil

why he doesn’t dare to give less than
a quarter.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Supposing the Ax k ad Fallen!
Some years ago an inquisitive med
ical student, while examining a guil
lotine in a big waxworks exhibition in
London, took it into his head that the
sort of yoke which fits down on the
shoulders of the criminal to hold him
in his place would not be sufficient to
confine a person who struggled.
His curiosity on that point led him
to watch till the place was empty,
when he actually put himself in. let
ting down the yoke. lie soon found,
however, that he was quite unable to
lift it, and it at once flashed into his
mind that the sharp ax suspended over
his neck might not be firmly fixed or
it would fall, as it should, with a
touch.
He was afraid to struggle lest the
shaking should bring it down and ut
once deposit his head in the basket of
sawdust below him. into which his
eyes were of necessity steadily look
ing.
Having stayed some time in this
plight, he was overjoyed to hear the
approach, of a visitor, whom he im
plored to release him. It was in vain.
“I’m thinking.” said tbe gentleman,
a Scottish visitor to the metropolis, to
his wife, “that he must be hired to
show how the thing acts, and I think
we’d better not interfere.”
So the luckless student was left till
one of the attendants came in and
made fast the ax before releasing him
from his predicament. The ax was
afterward removed and laid by the
side of the structure to prevent future
accidents.
Appearances.
“You can’t judge by appearances,”
said the serious youth.
“Xo,” answered the frivolous per
son; “it’s impossible to realize how ab
surd the clothes that are fashionable
this season may look a few years from
now.”—Washington Star.
Isn’t It?
“It is sort of sad,” he murmured.
“What is?” she asked.
“That the young man’s fancy should
turn to thoughts of sitting closer just
when spring onions are most delicious.”

Good Time Leagues.
Prosperity Leagues are being or
ganized all over the country ui aJI
of our larger cities. Investigations
show that business is rapidly be
coming normal, and that the rna
j >rity of factories, railroad shops,
g-ncral offices, wholesale houses,
e e., are working their full quota
of men full time. Within three
months this country will find a
groati ’"demand than ever before for
bookkeepers, stenographers and op
erators, owing to the business that
lias been allowed to accumulate
that must be moved and the new
business coming on caused by the
starting of factories, the marketing
of crops, progressive moves in all
industrial lines.
The demand upon the Employ
ment Bureau of the Athens Busi
ness College, of Athens, (la., for
bookkeepers and stenographers has
increased over 50 per cent during
the past week; many excellent po
sitions were offered their graduates.

HON. JOS. M. BROWN.
“[Attic .Joe’* Brown,the governor
elect, is 57 years of age, and the son
of Georgia’s war governor, Joseph
E. Brown.
In politics ho is a democrat; in
religion a Kaptis.
He is descended from Seotch-Irish
Protestants, who can e to this coun
try iin the seventeenth century.
His ant-'stors were lmnly, honest
anil true mem His father was a
centemporary of such illustrious
Georgians as Lucius ( v ). Lamar,
Thomas R. R. Cobh, Benjamin
Harvey Hill, Rolxrt G. Harper and
Linton Stephens. In brain power
and ability the elder Brown was the
equal of any of these. Of him it
was said that lie had “the largest
and best balanced brain of any man
in the state and was the equal of
any in energy and preseveranee.”
In the early eighties Georgia also
claimed such leaders as Alexander
H. Stephens, Robert. Toombs,
llershel Y. Johnson and How*
ell Cobh. Although at the time
these men,older in years and higher
in honors than Joe Brown, he was
elevated by the people to positions
coveted by a score of the illustrious
men of the time and reached by a
necessarily limited few.
Mr, Brown is about five feet and
four inches in height and weighs
1 I<> pounds. —Marietta Journal.
