A church once gave a charity con cert where the host talent volun teered--the city’s leading singers, elocu! ionists and actors. At the end of the concert the chairman v .>•; tup to she organ loft and said to the little hoy in patched clothes 1:0 1 d blown the organ: “V .11, Freddie, what do we owe von i' ir your work this evening?" The little hoy looked at the chair uian in genuine astonishment. “Why, sir.” he said, “didn’t the rest of the talent give their serv ices ?” Thu Beautiful. I am of opinion that, there i« ..thing so beautiful but that there is something still more beautiful, of which this is the mere imago and ex] if' s.sion—a something which can neither ho perceived by the eyes, ihe ears nor any of the senses; we comprehend it merely in the imagi nation. —Cicero. Walking Stick*. Probably the patriarch’s staff was the iirsi adaptation of the walking stick, and from its first inception to the present, day it has undergone al most endless changes. In 1701 foot men attending gentlemen were for bidden to carry swords, these be ing replaced by a porter’s staff. Thirty years later gentlemen were forbidden to carry swords, but al lowed to carry large oak sticks. Be fore many years varnished and pol is heel woods with ornamental heads came into use and in one form or another have held their own. His Father Didn’t Know. A little lad was found on the street crying very bitterly because bis cart was broken. The kindly disposed stranger en deavored to cheer up the little fol low by saying, “Never mind, my bov; vour father can easily mend that.” “No, ho can’t,” sobbed the boy. “My father is a preacher and don't know about anything.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. A Dry Scat. Farmer—You had a fire at the marise this morning. Anv serious loss? Minister —Yes. Ten years’ ser mons were completely burned. Farmer (with the memory of many a weary Sunday morning)— Wool, but they made a gran’ blaze; they wore so dry, ye ken. —Dundee Advertiser. Degrading Hi* Must. “Mamma wishes you to cuter papa’s factory, darling. That would do away with all his unwillingness.” “But, dearest, I’m a poet.” “All the better. You can write verses for our vinegar advertise ments.” — Fliegende Blatter. Got Hi* Aniwcr. Born in China and educated at Yale, the editor of the Chinese World of San Francisco was long known as a wit and humorist as well as a wise man. He dressed as an American. One day a drummer came to him with the expectation of selling a certain grade of paper. Thinking to be sfhart, the drummer began his conversation by asking the impudent question, “What kind of a 'nose are you—a Japanese or a Chinese ?” The editor smiled kindly and bowed with great courtesy as he re plied. “First please inform me what kiuii of key you are—a Yankee, a monkey or just a plain Monkey?”— New York Tribune. Statesmen In Their Cup*. The deep drinking which was a social custom in the time of the younger Pitt had its influence oc casionally <m the minister, whose liahi; it was to indulge liberally with lits friends when free from the oc cupatioi’s of state.

WHITFIELD GO. PRISONERS TRY EACH OTHER, Dalton, Ga., March 25. —Friday morning prisoners in the Whit field county jail set an example which many local people believe the courts would do well to pat tern after, for they tried one of their fellow prisoners, sentenced him and then executed the sen tence without permitting the con victed one an appeal to another court, as his guilt was established beyond doubt. The prisoner was Gordon Cle ments, a young man arrested Thursday night for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. After he was placed in jail lie proceeded to whoop up things and prevented the remaining prisoners from sleeping. He was not disturbed until Friday morning when lie was hastily jerked up before a well organized “court of justice,” composed of his fellow prisoners. He was permitted counsel and was given a ta'r hearing; but his guilt was established beyond doubt. Following; his conviction he was permitted to say what he wanted to before sentence was passed, and then the “judge” solemnly pronounced the sen tence. “The prisoner shall pay a tine of 25 cents and shall be given 25 lashes across the back.” Ready hands seized him and for a time the old whipping post was revived. One of the prisoners took off his heavy leather belt, and the lashes were administered with a hand none toA gentle; for tlio whipping boss remembered the sleepless hours of the night bef< re. The fine was collected and put in the treasury to lie put to some good use in the future. Cotton Seed For Sale. Toole’s and Harding’s Prolific Cottor Seed at SI.OO per bushel. See me at once. D. S.
