Mayor Shank of Indianapolis was condemning the extortions of a certain type of middleman, says the New York Times. “This type of middleman,” he said, “can’t be beat, for whatev er he gives you with one hand he takes back with the other. He is almost as bad as Cornelius Husk. “ ‘Oik Corn Husk,’ as the boys used to call him, sold the tavern keeper ten dozen eggs one day. There was just one egg leftover, and the tavern-keeper asked Husk to throw it in. The old man however demurred. “But finally he consented to throw in the egg, provided the tavern-keeper would stand him a drink. This was agreed to, the egg was handed over, and then the tavern-keeper said: “ ‘ Now, old man, nominate your liquor’ ” “‘Sherry and egg,’ said old Cornelius, with a twinkle in his eye.” Girl Pops the Question. Brockton, Mass., Mar. 12. Miss Lillian Johnson, aged nine teen, well known in the younger set of this city, is the first girl in Brockton to take advantage of leap year. She proposed to Nils A. Anderson, aged 27. He said “yes.” “Sure, I proposed,” she said. “Why shouldn’t I? I knew if I didn’t Nils would, so, as it was leap year, I thought I would just hurry the thing along.” Your Fertilizers Should be of the most reliable.

Norton, a deputy sheriff of Bibb county, will have !to serve a life sentence in the ; penitentiary for the murder of ! R. V. Smith, a white man. Sent to arrest some negroes, Norton came upon Smith in a wagon in the dusk and ordered him to throw up his hands and submit to arrest. Smith said he had done nothing and declined to throw up his hands. Norton shot him and he died. Smith was found unarmed. Norton claimed he thought Smith was one of the men I wanted. The State Presidential Pri * mary. According to the resolution of the State Democratic Committee delegates to the Baltimore con vention are to be chosen by a state convention, the delegates to the state convention being chosen in a preferential presiden tial primary. It would be more satisfactory if the delegates to the state convention from each congressional district were per mitted to choose the presidential delegaties from their respective districts, the convention choosing of the delegates at large. Undoubtedly in some sections of the state one presidential can didate is the favorite and in other sections another is the favorite. If the committee had given the districts the right to select presi dential delegates the probability is that the delegation to the Bal timore convention would be di vided among all of the candidates —among Underwood, Wilson, Clark and Harmon. By the system that has been adopted it is possible for the can didates getting a minority of the votes cast in the primary to get the delegation. For instance, the larger counties, the counties containing the cities, might give big majorities to Mr. Underwood while the more numerous rural counties might give very small majorities to Gov. Wilson or Mr. Clark or Gov. Hai’mon. Mr. Un derwood, although having a ma jority, or at least a plurality, of the votes cast in the primary might got none of the delegates. Nothing is said in the resolu tion as to how long delegates are to stick to the candidate for which they are instructed. It would naturally be supposed that they would stand by him as long as there was hope of his being 1 nominated. The delegates will have to decide as to when there I is no longer ground for hope and ' their decision will be made by the i majority. The friends of the candidates | will do a good deal of campaign ing in the next six weeks. It is a safe statement that if it were not for the fact that the counties are holding primaries for county offices the vote in the presiden j tial preferential primary would !be very small. As it is, many of j .the counties will have held their I primaries before May 1, the date of the presidential primary. Some of them doubtless will j | change the date of their county I ! primaries, now that the date of; the presidential primary has been fixed.—Savannah News. Real Sympathy. The thin man darted across the platform. “Will you hold the train a moment for my wife, conductor?” he gasped. “She is just crossing the street.” “Can’t do it,” snorted the con ductor, as he raised his hand to signal the engineer. “B-but, conductor, she’s going away to stay six months!” cried the thin man. “If she doesn’t go now she may change her mind.” “I’ll hold it,” replied the con ductor.

Nervous Prostration For Three Years “Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv ine cured me of a period of nervous prostration of over three years duration, and the Anti- Pain Pills are as necessary to us as the roof of our house. They have been household rem edies with us for many years.” WM. T. LOUGHRAN, 1214 Catherine St., Philadelphia, Penna. Much sickness is due to nerv ous troubles. Headache, diz ziness, epilepsy and insanity are nervous troubles. Then there is a large class of disorders which arise from a weakness of the nerves of an organ or part, as weak lungs, heart, stomach, kidney, bladder, eyes, etc. Dyspepsia and indigestion are usually the result of nervous disorders. Restorative Nervine soothes the irritated nerves, and assists the nerve cells to gener ate nerve force. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Is sold by all drug gists. If the first bottle falls to benefit, your druggist will return your money. MILES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart, Ind.
