The Weather.
The indications for Georgia for to
day are for fair weather, with light to
fresh southeast to south winds. East
ern Florida, partly cloudy weather,
with light to fresh northeast to east
winds.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
is pleased by the report that the
President will nominate Dr. Crum
again for collector of the port of
Charleston; not so much on account
of either Crum or Charleston, but be
cause it will put the matter ‘‘up to"
the Senate.
The Toronto World declines to take
a sentimental view of the returning of
the Ascoli cope to the Italian govern
ment. It bluntly says: "For returning
stolen property, J. Pierpont Morgan is
to be knighted by the King of Italy.
Buying stolen property will now be a
favorite pastime among title-huntlhg
Americans.”
Why is it that Kansas men have
such a penchant for burning their
shirts for political purposes? An Em
poria man is under pledge to burn his
shirt on the State Capitol steps on
Thanksgiving Day, as a consequence
of an election bet. This recalls the
fact that Assistant Secretary of War
Mieklejohn, ulso of Kansas, made a
flambeau of his night-shirt during the
McKinley campaign for the glory and
honor of his party.
Dispatches from the West say that
wheat Is going to be scarce and the
prices high this winter. Already in
several cities the price of bread has
been advanced. Well, the people can
eat corn and rice. There are no more
tasty and nutritious cereals grown
than these, and there are fifty ways
of cooking each of them into palata
ble dishes. It would probably be a
good thing if more corn and rice and
less wheat were oaten, anyway.
"By the way," says the Norfolk
Landmark, in commenting on an ob
servation of the Morning Newa. "doea
anybody know who was the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of Penn
sylvania? Don’t look it up. but Juat
answer from memory." It seams that
the Joke Is on our esteemed contem
porary. There wasn’t any candldats
for Governor of Pennaylvanla In the
recent general election. Pennsylvania
atacted her Governor I’ennypacker two
years ago. The man who ran against
him was tbs lamented Robert E. Pat
tlson, than whom there was no more
high-minded md I eepec led Democrat
In the countijr.
THE SOUTH’S ALOOFNESS.
If some of the Northern papers would
do a little quiet thinking they would dis
cover that there wasn't so much aloof
ness in the South in the recent elec
tion as they are trying to make out.
It seems to give them profound pleas
ure to make it appear that the South
had no part in that election, that
her people didn’t discuss the issues
of the campaign and that the candi
dates of only one party were voted
for.
For Instance, the Philadelphia Ledger
says: "A disheartening feature of re
cent American politics has been the
continued aloofness of the South. In
other parts of the country the people
divide according to the opinions pre
vailing 'at the time, and the parties
contend for the mastery: the South has
remained solid and immovable. In
the recent election, when President
Roosevelt may be said to have swept
the country by popular acclamation,
the Southern states alone maintained
their attitude of dissent.” The New
York World says: "Last week’s politi
cal earthquake seems to have shaken
the South into a thoughtful mood, and
the result is an interesting variety of
more or less novel reflections.”
Let us flake up the comments of the
Philadelphia paper, in W'hich it is stat
ed that the South stood aloof In the
recent election, and maintained an at
titude of dissent to the action of the
rest of the country. The inference
from this is that there was no division
of the vote in the South. Whatt are
the facts? Here in Georgia, for in
stance, was there not a more nearly
even division of the vote than in Penn
sylvania, the state in whieh the Phil
adelphia Ledger is published? We do
not know just what the vote for
of the tickets in Pennsylvania was, but
we know there was a very small vote
for Parker and an enormous vote for
Roosevelt. What was the vote here
in Georgia? According to the best es
timate obtainable at present it was as
follows: Parker 88,331, Roosevelt 25,-
335, Watson 23,490. From these figures
it appears that Mr. Roosevelt receiv
ed not quite a quarter of the whole
vote cast, that Watson received almost
as large a vote and that Roosevelt and
Watson together received not quite
half of the vote.
What we would like to know Is .this:
Was Pennsylvania’s vote as well scat
tered as was the vote of Georg.’a? In
proportion to the vote cast didn’t
Roosevelt get a larger part of the vote
of Georgia than Parker got of the vote
of Pennsylvania? We think he did,
though we cannot say until the official
figures are published. And we ven
ture to stay that Watson got a larger
proportion of the vote of Georgia than
he did of the vote of Pennsylvania.
And if the vote of each of the other
Northern states is examined and com
pared with that of Georgia, we think it
will be found that the people of Geor
gia divided in the recent election about
the same extent as did those of most
of the Northern states. We cannot
speak for the other Southern states at
present for the reason that their com
plete returns have not been published
yet.
But Pennsylvania and Georgia fur
nished sufficient data for the purpose
we have in view, which Is to show that
the Philadelphia Ledger and other
Northern papers have been Indulging
In comments respecting the attitude of
the South in the recent election and
criticising her for aloofness without
taking the trouble to find out the facts.
Surely it isn’t for such a hide-bound
Republican state as Pennsylvania to
criticise Georgia for not turning in
and casting her vote for Roosevelt,
simply because Pennsylvania and the
other Northern states gave their elec
toral votes to him. It is by no means
certain that Roosevelt will make a
better President .than Parker would,
and, on that questldn, Georgia Is Just
as well qualified to hold an opinion as
Pennsylvania. It is true of course
that, with the exception of one state,
the South stood solid for Parker, but
then didn’t the North stand solid for
Roosevelt? Taking Georgia as a sam
ple the Southern voters divided as be
tween Roosevelt and Parker about as
evenly as the voters of the North did,
taking Pennsylvania as an indication
as to how they voted.
NECTBAU HKI.IMVt; THE RUSSIANS.
The Japanese are complaining that
the Baltic fleet of the Russians now
on its way to the Far East is receiv
ing assistance from neutral nations In
the shape of coal at their ports. The
rule of international law Is stated to
be that belligerent vessels are entitled
to receive at neutral ports only so
much fuel as will enable them to reach
the next port on their way home.
When the Baltic fleet started on its
journey the newspapers called atten
tion to the difficulty that would be en
countered in supplying It with coal.
They pointed out that a great many
coalers would have to accompany the
warships, and that the coaling would
have to be done at sea, a difficult
thing, particularly in bad weather.
It seems, however, that the Russian
warships are getting all the coal they
want at neutral ports. The ports of
only one nation have refused them coal
thus far. and that one is Italy.
It Is stated that the war fleet got
what coal It wanted at Cherburg, and
also at Vigo. After leaving the lat
ter port It divided, a part crossing
the Mediterranean, while the other
took the Cape of Good Hope route. It
is reported that the latter was given
a supply of coal at a French port on
the West Coast of Africa, and that
the other section was expecting to get
a supply of coal at Port Said.
Naturally the Japanese feel they are
not being treated rightly by some of
the neutral powers. If the rule of
International law Is os we have stated
It, then the Japanese have a right to
complain. They may not be able to
compel neutral nations to comply with
the law, but it is certain they will not
forget the fact that it was disregard
ed at a time when it was Important
to them that If should be respected.
Japan is already a great power on
the sea, and the time la likely to come
when the nations that are now diare
gelding the law may want her to re
spect It. Mhe will be practically free
to do as her interests direct In the

matter. Then It may be that the na
tions that are now lending Russia a
helping hand while claiming to be ned
tral will realize their mistake.
THE PRESIDENT AND THE TARIFF.
It has been announced in our dis
patches that it is the purpose of the
President to recommend to Congress
reductions of the tariff. It is probable
that some things cropped out during
the campaign that w'arn him that un
less his party takes hold of the ques
tion of tariff revision in earnest, and
makes such reductions as will be sat
isfactory to the people, he will have
trouble In the ranks of his party.
There is no doubt that one of the
reasons Mr. Douglas, the Democratic
candidate for Governor in Massachu
setts. was elected, was his strong and
Intelligent presentation of the tariff is
sue. He is a manufacturer of shoes,
and there are phases of the tariff that
are hurtful to his business. And he be
lieves generally that the .high protective
system Is hurtful to the country and
burdensome to the working people, be
cause it tends to put the wealth of the
country into the possession of the great
tariff-protected corporations and makes
the cost of living higher.
In the West there Is a very strong
sentiment among Republicans as well
•as Democrats in favor of lower tariff
duties, and that fact is no doubt hav
ing its effect upon the President.
It is doubtful, however, if Congress
will do anything in the direction of re
ducing the tariff schedules. The great
protected Interests have influence
enough to prevent it. Asa malter of
fact, the tariff-shel tefarl trusts prac
tically own the Republican pfarty.
In an interview In New York on
Monday, Henry Watterson expressed
the opinion that the protective tariff
nfaintained by the Republican party
is as great an oligarchlstn as slavery
was, and that It may wreck that party
as slavery wrecked the Democratic
party in 1860.
The trusts are not going to give up
any of the protection they enjoy if they
can help It, even though there is danger
t)iat the protective system will wreck
the party that maintains it. The
President may recommend tariff
►changes, but his recommendation will
not be heeded.
A SOUTHERN MAN IN THE CABINET.
It is stated that pressure is being
brougt to bear upon the President to
have him appoint a Southern man to
a place in his new cabinet. The argu
ment is made that the South Is going
to break up politically and that the
appointment of a Southern man would
have the effect of bringing about bet
ter relations between the South and
the administration. Of course argu
ments like these are being used by
men who have axes to grind. They
have a friend they want to get into
the cabinet either because the friend
wants the position or because they
want him to have it for some purpose
of their own.
It is said that a Virginia man is
seeking the place. We see no reason
why he shouldn’t have it, but if he
should be appointed he could hardly
be called a real representative of the
South. He wouldn’t be in sympathy
with the people who control the South.
It wouldn't be surprising, however, if
the President should put a man from
the South In his new cabinet. From
many sources comes the statement
that the President is anxious to con
vince the Southern people that he is
their friend, and that he has been
misunderstood by them. Dispatches
are going out from Washington, evi
dently inspired by him or his advisers,
that he Isn’t now nor has ever been
in favor of social equality, and that
all he claims is that the negro should
have full liberty in the matter of edu
cation and in seeking and holding em
ployment. These things have never
been denied the negro in the South,
though he doesn’t have them at the
North.
Doubtless we shall hear many things
as to the President’s attitude in regard
to the South before he enters upon the
term for which he has just been elect
ed, but before accepting them it will
be advisable to wait and see what he
does.
Our dispatches of yesterday con
tained a summary of what purported
to be the message of Gen. Stoessei, at
Port Arthur, to the Czar, brought out
by the torpedo boat destroyer Ras
toropny, that was blown up and sunk
at Chee Foo by her commander. The
story of the destroyer’s perilous trip
and tragic end, is to the efTect that
she was ordered out of Port Arthur
to bear a certain message to be trans
mitted to the Czar, ,and that, having
dispatched the message, her officers
were to blow her up if necessary to
prevent her from falling Into the hands
of the enemy. Japanese torpedo boats
appeared oft Chee Foo shortly after
the Rastoropny entered that port,
and she was blown up in accordance
with instructions. Now, according to
the news dispatches, the world is ask
ed to believe that the message brought
out from Port Arthur and delivered
at such great expense was merely one
of congratulation from Gen. Stoessei to
the Czar on the recurrence of the anni
versary of his accession to the throne,
accompanied with the assurance that
the garrison was loyal and determined
to hold out to the bitter end. Is it
likely that a crew would have been
sent out on so hazardous a Journey,
and that a destroyer would have been
sacrificed, for so unimportant a pur
pose? There were originally twelve
destroyers at Port Arthur. Of these
five are reported to have been sunk
from one cause or another. The Ras
toropny was the sixth to be sent to the
bottom. Would the Russian commander
have been apt to reduce his destroyer
force by one-seventh merely for the
purpose of sending the Csar a message
of congratulation? The Inference that
Is to be naturally drawn Is that the
destroyer thnt was blown up at Chee
Foo carried a much more Important
message than that reported in the
newa dispatches.
In the classical language of (Thlcago
the Tribune of that city advises ran
didste# for senatorial honors to "Hold
yar boss; Fairbanks hatn’t unbridled
nut'll yet."
New York state has a law which re
quires that candidates for public office
shall make a sworn statement, and
file it with the Secretary of State, giv
ing a detail statement of their election
eering and election expenses. Govern
or-elect Higgins' statement shows that
his election cost him in round figures
a bit more than $22,000. He was will
ing to give up this great sum of mon
ey for the honor of serving hie state
two years as chief executive. This,
it is said, is the greatest sum that has
ever been expended by a candidate for
Governor stnee the law went into ef
fect.
It is the understanding that Gen.
John C. Black of Illinois has been
selected by President Roosevelt as the
successor of Commissioner Ware in
the Pension Bureau. Gen. Black is
known aa a “Gold Democrat” who
voted for McKinley. He stands high
in the councils of the Grand Army of
the Republic. Gen. Black, however,
is to take office only after March 4
next. Meanwhile the pension office
is to be under the direction of James
L. Davenport of New Hampshire.
In Illinois the other day a young
man of the name of McKane was
sentenced to the penitentiary for life
for murder. In addition to this he
received a sentence of fifty years in
the penitentiary for manslaughter in
a different case. There is little hope
for a man whose term of penal servi
tude extends half a century beyond
the grave.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Wilmington (N. C.) Star says:
"The steadily advancing value of the
securities of the Atlantic Coast Line in
dicates confidence in the management
of that system’s fine properties, as well
as the substantial business yielded by
a prosperous South to its various lines
of paying railways.”
The New Orleans States (Dem.) says:
"The Socialist party, however, dif
fers from the Populist party in the re
spect that it possesses stronger ele
ments of cohesion, hence it is not too
much to say that it will in the next
four years absorb what is left of the
Populist organization."
The Spartanburg (S. C.) Journal
(Dem.) says: "A great deal is being
said concerning President Roosevelt's
attitude toward the South hereafter.
The President's course toward this sec
tion has never been hostile in our opin
ion and we believe that the South will
come to realize It within the next four
years. Southern politicians vastly ex
aggerate the race question and need
lessly Inflame the people against the
Republicans on account of It."
The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
"The Postofllce Department’s refusal
to issue any more nonunemoratlve pos
tage stamps Is to be commended. Those
heretofore leaued have been nuloancee,
as wall as artlstlcslly hideous. The
regular series of stamps are bad
enough: the commemorative series ars
twice as bad because twice as large,
and several time as bed because they
attempt U taka the place at a picture
gallery'."
A Busiiart From New York.
The New York Times tells the fol
lowing good stories of men and
things:
Senator Stone of Missouri, while din
ing with a party of friends a few
nights ago in an uptown hotel, told
this story after a concurrence of ideas
among the party that there were fewer
campaign lies told during this cam
paign than any other they could re
member.
’’The son of a friend of mine, a poli
tician in Missouri, has a young and
precocious boy who got interested In
politics from hearing his father talk
so much. They boy came to his father
one day and asked:
“ Pape, are all these things they say
about you true?’
“ ‘No, my son, they are not; they
are campaign lies.’
“I thought so,’ was the little boy’s
reply, ‘and I nailed every one of
them.’
“ ‘How did you nail them?*
“ ‘Why, I cut them all out and nail
ed them to the trees In front of the
house! Isn’t that whafl they mean by
nailing a campaign lie?’ ”
Col. Robert A. Pinkerton was talk
ing about old times in Chicago. "I
used to know a man there who was an
ardent gambler,” he said. “He lost his
week's wages regularly in ‘Dinner
Pail’ Hankins’ game.
"One Saturday evening the man
started home, via the gambling house,
as usual. A spasm of reform had
struck Chicago and the place had been
pulled. The man tried to enter the
door, but failed. He walked out into
the street and gazed up inquiringly
at the closed windows.
“Then he walked back to the door,
tried It again, but It would not open,
so he drew his pay envelope form his
pocket, shoved It under the door and
walked calmly down the street.”
Dr. Abbott, of the English Depart
ment at Columbia University, used to
rock back and forth In his swinging
desk chair as he talked to hls auditors,
but he has been cured of that habit,”
said one who attended his classes last
year. “It was this way.” he said.
“One member of his class on com
position handed In. as his weekly
theme, an exposition on ’disagreeable
sounds.’ In its application this was
a vivid description of a man addicted
to this rocking habit who once, while
addressing an audience, found himself
In a chntr that squeaked. The dis
tress of the audience was so cleverly
pictured in the theme that the doctor
singled It out to read to the class.
"Singularly enough the doctor was,
while reading, rocking back and forth
In a chair the metal parts of which
badly needed oil. He had not pro
ceeded far in the reading, however,
when it dawned upon him that he him
self was the subject of the writer and
that he was at that moment very apt
ly guilty of causing the kind of distress
complained of In the writing.
"His comments on the theme were
delivered while standing, and now he
never rocks while speaking to a class.”
Didn’t Have to Remove His Arms.
Congressman W. H. Jackson of
Maryland, was arguing that the con
versational delivery of speech was as
effective with an intelligent audience
as the declamation of a man whose
brilliant periods are always accompa
nied by arm-swinging. “You are right,”
said a listener, “and your statement
reminds me of a young lady who had
two suitors. Both men had about the
same advantages and prospects, but
gossip declared that the girl would
decide in favor of the man who was
a lawyer, for he knew better how to
present and win his case, but gossip
erred: the lawyer was rejected. Later
It was learned from a friend in whom
the betrothed had confided the reason
for her choice. ‘Harry is convincing,
but John is just as convincing and
does not have to remove his arms ev
ery time he wants to say something.’ ”
The Boy’s Obloquy.
In the schools of a Connecticut town
measures were recently taken to test
the children’s eyesight, says the Bal
timore Herald. As the doctor finished
each school he gave the principal a
list of the pupils whose eyes needed
attention, and requested him to notify
the children’s parents to that effect.
One night, soon after the opening
of the fall term, a little hoy came home
and gave his father the following note,
duly signed by the principal:
"Mr. : Dear Sir —It becomes my
duty to inform you that your son
shows decided indications of astigma
tism, and his case is one that should
be attended to without delay.”
The next day the father sent the fol
lowing answer:
"Dear Sir; Whip it out of him.
truly, .”
The Kaiser’s Son Took the Hint.
While the Crown Prince of Germany
was a student at the gymnasium at
Heidelberg he lost heavily one even
ing at cards, and on applying to his
royal father for reimbursement he
received the required number of bank
notes bound together like a book.
Later, after another disastrous game,
he wrote the Emperor:
“I have finished the interesting book
you sent me, and am impatiently
awaiting the second volume."
In answer to this the Emperor sent
another book of hank notes, similar to
the first except that on the cover he
had ■ inscribed "Volume Second and
Last.”
The Crown Prince took the hint and
Indulged in no more games of chance.
Notes In tlie Case.
What she wrote, according to Tit-
Bits:
"Dear Fred: As you are aware, I
shall marry Mr. Gotrox this coming
week. Will you kindly burn all the
little notes I have sent you? I shall
do so with yours. Good by. Ethel."
What he wrote:
"Dear Miss Ethel: Tour request
Shall be compiled with. And, by the
way, your affianced also holds a few
notes of mine that I wish you would
prevail upon him to let you burn with
the rest. Ever your friend, Fred.”
The Common Things.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The sunshine nnd the gentle rain,
The clear bird song that hails the
room,
The meadow land which flowers stain,
The swaying banners of the com.
The grans that whispers to the breeze—
What common, common things are
these!
The broad, blue mirror of the lake,
That smiles back at the sleeping
skv;
The billows, too, that leap and break
And fling their foamy Jewels high;
The silver clouds that one by one
Toss back the lances of the sun.
The stars that blaze as Jewels blaze.
And make the world old mystery.
While they on their appointed ways,
Go speeding through eternity
Across unfathomed sea* of space

GTE ST AT SWELL WEDDING.
From the Chicago Tribune.
New York, Nov. 15—While the last
preparations were going on in the res
idence of Thomas E. Stillman, the mil
lionaire lawyer, of 9 East Seventy
eighth street, for the wedding of his
daughter, Miss Mary E. Stillman, to
Edward S. Harkness, to-day, a rickety
old farm wagon, occupied by a white
haired negro mammy and a wee pick
aninny, drawn by a horse whose bones
almost broke through its mud-colored
hide, clattered from Fifth avenue into
Seventy-eighth street and halted be
fore the Stillman doorway.
Down the stoop and across the side
walk an awning had been erected. Un
derneath a width of soft carpet had
been laid. Around the entrance uni
formed policemen and detectives stood
as a guard against curious loiterers.
As the strange vehicle drew up be
side the curb the old negro woman
rose to her feet, handed the reins to
the little boy at her side, and began
to smooth out the wrinkles in the gor
geous velvet gown she wore. As she
patted her finery two policemen dart
ed forward. The first to reach her
said, “Move on." Then he moved for
ward toward the horse as if he would
lead It away.
"Yo, jes' let dat hawse ’lone, mister,”
retorted mammy.
Before the copper had time to think
the old negro had made a leap to the
velvet carpet and grabbed his coat
tail.
"But you can’t stop here, auntie," he
said.
“Can’t stop hyah? Who can’t?” she
snorted. “Shucks, chile, you go ’way
fum hyah.”
jjßut” —began the officer.
4i “Now, now,” droned the old woman,
“doan you reckon I knows what I
wants? Heh?”
“Tommy,” she said to the small boy
in the wagon, “you take good keer o'
dat wagln till grannie come back."
Without more ado, still shooing off
the policemen, she marched up the car
peted steps and opened the front door.
A liveried servant got in the way here,
but his objections were no more suc
cessful than those of the policemen.
“Doan kou tlnk I knows what I
wants?” she repeated. “I'se gwine to
see my honey Alissy before she gets
married. J’se.”
The first liveried servant called an
other. The negress shooed both of them
a wav.
About that time Mr. Stillman, hear
ing the commotion, hurried to the door.
’’Why, it’s Aunt Celia,” he said.
“Sure, ’tis, honey,” cried the old
woman. "I’se des came to de weddin’
an’ dere’s a lettle present out der in
der wagon fer Missy.”
The policemen, detectives, (butlers
and footmen retired, defeated, as the
lawyer ordered the door opened to the
guest—“ Celia Johnson, dat’s mah
name," as she described herself—who
was the family servant of the Still
mans for thirty years, until the bride's
father bought her a farm over Jersey
The present in the "wagin’’ was a
huge pumpkin.
THE FATAL FANGS) A ROMANCE,
From the New York Sun.
The Sun received last night this
painful tale of the truse cause of the
lameness of , prima donna:
She is a native of Salt Lake City,
and last year spent her summer vaca
tion with a party of friends on an
overland trip on horseback from that
city down through the Rocky Moun
tains by trail into New Mexico. While
passing through the Mora valley, the
party met one evening Jim Hayes
** * nephew of the famous
Wild Bill, a well-known scout, con
temporaneous with ’Buffalo Bill’ in
his palmy days. Hayes was so charm
ed by the remarkable ease with which
Miss handled her horse that he
presented her with two rattlesnake
skins as a souvenir of the meeting.
“On returning to this city, Miss
had the skins made into garters of
the circular kind. But a fatal mistake
was made in not removing the fangs
from the head of one of the snakes.
This snake, or rather garter, Miss
wore on her right limb last Tuesday,
on her way to rehearsal. In getting
off a Broadway car, she fell to the
ground. This caused a tremendous
shock, but above it all the prima don
na felt a sharp pain like that of a nee
dle, enter her body below the knee. In
vestigation showed a tiny drop of
blood oozing from the injured spot.
Her experiences in the West revealed
the truth to her Immediately and, un
clasping the offending hose supporter,
she found In the head of the viper
the fatal fangs.
"Fortunately, however, she was ac
companied by , the basso
profundo of the company, who has
spent some time in Florida on his
houseboat, and who is one of the few
men that the Seminole Indians have
allowed to see their sacred corn dance.
From his familiarity with these abo
rigines, he became acquainted with
their method of treating a snake bite.
He was carrying with him at the
time a portion of the snakeroot which
these Indians use to cure this poison.
Coolly and calmly he applied this root
according to the method of the In
dians. That the result has been bene
ficial and has saved her life is demon
strated by the fact that this beautiful
woman is now able to attend rehear
sals of the company, with
the assistance of a cane.”
WANT WHISKY FROM PARKER.
From the New York Sun.
Topeka, Kan., Nov. 13. —A request
was mailed to Judge Alton B. Parker
yesterday from Ellis county, Kansas,
which he probably will not grant.
Eight years ago Dudley township, in
Haskell county, was the only town
ship in the United States that gave
Palmer and Buckner a majority. When
Judge Buckner heard of this he ship
ped a Jug of whisky to the voters of
the township, which was drunk at a
big barbecue in celebrating the event.
This year Ellis is the only county
in Kansas which gave Judge Parker
a majority. A majority of the voters
of Ellis are Russians and they voted
the Democratic ticket, because they be
lieved the powers at Washington are
in sympathy with Japan in the Far
East war. To test Judge Parker’s
generosity they have asked him to
emulate the example of Judge Buck
ner and send the Pussians of Ellis
county a cask of whisky.
If the whisky comes the rails
county Russians will kill a dozen
beeves and Invite the people of the
county to a barbecue.
NORTH STAR NEVER CHANGES.
From an Exchange.
The pole star is really the most im
portant of the stars In the sky. It
marks the north at all times. It alone
is fixed In the heavens. All the other
stars seem to swing around it once
In twenty-four hours.
But the pole star of Polaris Is not
a very bright one, and It would be
hard to Identify, but for the help of
the so-called pointers in the Big Dip
per or Great Bear. The outer rim of
the dipper points nearly to Polaris, at
a distance equal to three times the
ejface that separates the two stars of
the dipper's outer side. Various Indians
call the pole star the "home star" and
*'the star that never moves." and the
dipper they call the "broken back,"
The Great Bear is also to be remem
bered h* the pointers for another rea
son It I* the hour hand of the wood
man's clock. It goes once around the
north star In about twenty-four hours,
the reverse way of the hands of a
watch -that la. It goes the tame way aa
the tun and for the kune reason
that It Is the earth that to going and
leaving tb-m behind.
