Sub#cribe For The Fourier TESTING IT The barber had evidently been out late the night before, for his hand was shaky and lie cut his patron’s cheek four times. After each offense he said, as he sponged off the blood, "Oh. dear me, how cHreless!" and let it go at that. The patron said nothing but when ttie shave was over, lie went to the water cooler and filled his mouth with water. Then, with tightly compressed lips, he shook libs head from side to side, and tossed it up aqd down. "What’s the matter? Toothache?" asked tlie barber. "Ob. no,” replied the customer. "1 just wanted to see if my face would still hold water." For The Courier THlE CLteVELANb cblJRIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA. ~ Legal Georgia. White I’oulily.

Dodo Ea»y Victim of Greed and Ignorance The dodo, often spoken of as a pre¬ historic bird, Is said to have been In existence during the time of Charles L But It Inis since been extinct a matter of 200 years, which gives force to the lag, “as extinct ns the dodo.” The bird was known only In Mauri¬ tius, and soon after the Dutch colon! zation In 1598 Its proverbial fate fell upon It. It was n large fowl, it could not fly, and even at walking or r\ip nlng It was slow and unwieldy. To top these handicaps to Its self-preser¬ vation, the dodo was, unfortunately for Itself, good to eat. Its destruction came quickly. Though the colonizers might have remembered that you can’t eat your dodo and have It, and taken steps to insure Its continuance, hun¬ gry men are not far-sighted. More¬ over, the destruction of the dodo was no doubt hastened by the dogs, cuts, and swine which accompanied man In his migrations. When Memory Faltera How hard it Is sometimes to collect things Into memory! How difficult It Is to get It to work well when years have dulled its use, or rusted Its hinges. Old folk find they cannot re¬ call names as they did formerly. They forget things In fashion almost ludicrous, when compared with that of other days. The little cells of mem¬ ory do not now fly open readily as they once did. Human mechanism is not made to last forever, ns It Is now. No matter how well It Is trained It will no more go on always, than will any other machinery. Even steel will not preserve its elasticity forever. Big bridges have to be replaced at times, generally by piecemeal to save ex¬ pense. Some conceal It well, some fight against It at peril of life, for that way apoplexy 'ies. Oldest Scientific Society The American Philosophical society is the oldest of America’s scientific so¬ cieties. The society originated in the Junto established In Philadelphia by Benjamin Franklin in 1727. Fifteen of its members were signers of the Declaration of Independence and IS members helped frame the Constitu¬ tion. Nine Presidents of the United States, including Washington, Jeffer¬ son, Woodrow Wilson and Herbert Hoover, have been elected front the society’s membership. Three other Presidents, Cleveland, Roosevelt ami Taft, became members after election. All seven Americans who have won the Nobel prize have been members of this organization. Roman Relics in London Excavations on an unprecedented scale being made In the city of Lon don for new buildings are lending to remarkable discoveries of Roman and medieval remains.

Among the objects discovered are toilet articles such as the Roman equivalent of the lipstick, various pottery, shoes, and jewelry. Popular Theatre Sponsors Talkies Atlanta. Ga — W ith Broadnax, the greatest stronghold ot the spoken drama, having caught the vision of changing times and completely captured by talking films, so much so that not a single giant electric flash in behalf of the speaking stage is visible, some of the most popular theatres in the country have joined in the new idea of sponsoring talking productions, in¬ stead of the screen and stage com bsnat ton Among these houses is the Howard Theatre here, I’ublix’ key house in the South, The stage band shows combining music and vaudeville, which formerly were success)ul, have been cancelled and id tliefr place will be offered the cinematized efforts of ads, stars. and artists of far greater magni-; lude than i- possible to present I week-by-week in person.

GEORGIA A SIX IN THE PRICE RANGE OF THE FOUR Dutch Bricks as Ballast Many on ancient house in and about -New York is said tn have been built with Imported Dutch bricks. The lit¬ tle American vessels that traded with the West found it cheaper to ballast with Ctutch bricks and sell them in New York for a trifle than to ballast with stones, a scarce article in Hol¬ land anyhow, and dump them in the harbor. So good Rotterdam bricks might get Into a New York chimney; as for similar reasons bricks loaded in London might help rear a Virginia planter’s stately mansion on the James, with local brick kilns near. The “High Hat” it had always been Sambo’s ambi¬ tion to own a fur coat, and after years of saving he was at last able to buy it. As one morning he was strutting down the street, a friend approached him. “Mo’nin’, Sambo,” the friend re¬ marked. “Pretty col’ day, ain’t she?’ Sam lifted his chin haughtily froir the depths of his fur collar. “Ah really cain’t tell ’bout the weather," he replied carelessly. “Ah ain’t looked at de paper today."—Bos ion Globe. Yukon Territory The Yukon territory was set up as such in 1898 by an act of the Cana¬ dian parliament and provision mads for its local government by a legisla five council composed of a eomuiis sioner and six others. This territory iias an nrea of about 207,000 square miles. The Yukon river is navigable for 2,000 miles in tiie United Slates and Canadian territory and the terri tory itself is not only rich in metals but has much arable land. Man Marries Grandmother Marriage of a grandson and his grandmother has just been reported front a village near Swole, in tiie i Province of Overijssel, Holland. This : is how it happened: A man married a i girl of twenty, whose mother was for , ty-five. By ids first marriage this i man find had n son and this son mar¬ ried the mother of his father's second j wife. Relatives figure out that tiie youth not only married his stepmoth- \ er, but became stepfather to his own father. Some Job Barber (after cutting the custom er’s hair)—How is this? Does it suit you? Absent Minded Professor— You’ve cut it altogether too short! A little longer, please. Medici Family Crest Now Pawnbroker Sign rn America there are but few shop signs reminiscent of an old day. The one most in use is that of the pawn¬ broker and his sign of three globes. With tin's is connected a varying and interesting background. Averado de Medici was a command¬ er of fighting men under the great Charlemagne. During the course of his battles on behalf of his overlord he met and slew the giant Mugelio. As the spoil of war, lie took the giant’s dub, to which for effective service in action were affixed three iron bails swinging upon a short chain. It cart readily be understood that a well-placed blow from such a club in the hands of an angry giant would certainly, to use slang, “make the birdies sing,” and the three effective additions to the club would complete tiie picture. Therefore, Averado might well have added the three globes to the family crest. In later years the Medici took to the gentle but effective art of poisoning and as a side line en¬ gaged in tiie business of loaning money, using the memory of Mugello’s battle-ax fixtures as their insignia.— Kansas City Stsrr. Tryout of Air Brake All That Was Needed The air brake was Invented by iVestinghouse in 18(59. When lie was twenty years of age an accident start¬ ed liis interest in railroad problems. While studying unified control of brakes be read of the use of com¬ pressed air in drilling the Mont Cenis tunnel In Italy. After his first patent was issued be interested \Y. \Y. Card, superintendent of the Steubenville di¬ vision of ttie Panhandle railway, and obtained permission to equip a loco¬ motive and four passenger cars for a practical tryout. Shortly after leaving I he terminal station In Pittsburgh, as the train emerged from the tunnel at Fourth avenue, tiie engineer, Dan Tate, saw a drayman drive onto tiie tracks ahead. Tate reached for the handle of tiie new brake and brought the train to a complete stop fonr feet from the prostrate man, who had been tiling front ids wagon by the rearing of the horses, Tills proved a wholly satisfactory demonstration of West* I ugh ouse’s invention and a few weeks later tiie Wcstinglion.se Air Brake company was organized, July, 1809.
