Humor 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 Magazine.

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.

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.

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.
