Getting It Back.
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.”

! KILLED WRONG MAN; !
HE GETS LIFE TERM
Atlanta, March 14.—Under a
decision of the Supreme Court
today, W. B. 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.
