EVIDENCE OF FORMER
EMPLOYES.
Speaking of the acquittnl of the
American NavaK. Storea Company,
which ha« been T>qpmicutod under the
Sherman atitl-tfIHPT (aw. a contempo
rary makes the comment that "the
trial and its concluaJon show that Ju
rors do not wlah to convict men at
the head of great Institutions upon
the evidence of former employes who
are disgruntled or of former asso
ciates who nmy -differ with those on
trial hb to business methods.”
If there Is justification from clone
observation of tills case for this con
clusion. we are extremely regretful
The law, whatever it nmy he. Is sub
ject to the interpretation of the judge
and the spirit of the Jury, The ac
•tulttsl of this company If tills obser
vation Is justly taken—-proves only
that, so tar as tills particular com
bination of judge and Jury go. It
makes no especial difference what a
man does in business, so long as
other men In -business are tarred with
the same brush.
Ixit us hope that no sueh principle
will l»e generally accepted in the
state of Georgia.
Let us also hope thnt jurors In
Georgia will not accept the general
proposition that evidence submitted
by former employes of a trust com
party should lie ruled out on the as
sumption that it Is not reliable tes
timony. it would be ulurmlng Indeed
to feel that the seales of justice were
so heavily weighted with favors bin
prejudice Tor the men at the head of
great business Institutions, that tliev
could not be budged.
Whatever may or may not be said
In Jurisdiction of Hits judicial Ue
declslon let UK at least avoid draw
ing general conclusions from It, for
fear of helping to establish standards
that are utterly false and demoralise
lug.
CGYTIAN OBELISKS AND UNITED
STATES WEATHER.
Tourists whoso eyes ha\ e rested
upou tin* obelisk In front of St.
Peter's In Route, or the one in Place
do la Concorde In Paris, or the third
on the Thames embankment, have
been struck by the ciearuess of the
hieroglyphics inscribed thereon. They
are quite In contrust with the hiero
glyphics on the obelisk In Central
park. New York, and one is led to ask
himself if the monolith In Central
park is older or less perfectly inscrib.
ed than the one on the river Thu me*
or the one in Parle.
The obelisk in Central park was
one of the two which formerly stood
at HnilopoliK. They were subsequent,
■f re-erecie,j by Hiunesls 11, at Alex
andria , and have been popularly
known as Cleopatra's Seedles. Oue
of these which long Isy prostrate,
was, after a venturous voyage,
brought to London and erected where
It now stands. The other whs pre
sented to the United States by the
khedtve of Egypt and was brought to
New York In IXBI in a vessel espe
cially flitted for the transfer.
The obelisk in Central park, like
those of liOtidou, Paris aud Home is
made of dark red sandstone. While
the hierolypliics on the latter three
remain practically perfect, those .on
the Central park monolith hate dis
integrated in the weather or climate.
The lements are certainly working
damage to the obelisk in Central park,
so much so that restorative work 1*
now under way. The sandstone of the
Egyptian desert It seems, cannot be
come acclimated to the extreme of
temperature and the rains and snows,
of this lattltude. A recent Investiga
tion showed the obelisk to be threat
ened wth disintegration unless some
speedy measures were taken to pre
serve It from the ravages of the ele
menu. Large pieces have peeled off
fw>m the side# of the tall shaft, can
eying away parts of the hieroglyphics

THE WA YS OF THRIFT
Copyrighted, 1914, American Society for Thrift.
THRIFT I N SCHOOL.
Here Is an Interesting little plan of thrift for the school children
provided ii channel by an Ink manufacturing concern for their mutual
benefit. It is good In that it supplies another means*of strengthening
school savings hanks plans. School gardening pre-ernl“ntly stands first
in combining industry and earning with saving, and thrift means both.
This firm would start clubs among the school children to systemati
cally gather up empty ink bottle*. Figuring that, in a community of 1,200,
each Individual uses at least one adit tie of ink a year, 1,200 empty bottles
- onld he placed In charge of a club president to he shipped to the factory,
and in return the club would receive 200 full bottles of Ink. These, sold
by the children at f> cents each, would net the club $lO a year, with no
expense outside of express charges. A larger town, or more thrifty
children, could easily double this amount.
Ilroader, practical business might be encouraged by the investment
of tills money in ink at wholesale, buying at cents a bottle and selling
for G. Al this rate, making one sale a year to 1,000 out of the 1,200
Inhabitants of the same small town, club would earn S2O more a year.
A fund of at least S.TO, and easily $4 0, would he established.
Thlry says: "The lessons of thrift and economy are a capital to the
children of poor parents.”
Hut of equal Importance Is the old proverb which Includes the children
of the wealthy:
"Young Prodigal In o roach will he Old Beggar Barefoot.”
Remedy for the waste of Ink bottles was advanced by the manufac
turers referred to above. Prevention of the waste of the Ink itself was
secured by the employe of a large corporation: Noticing the rapid evapor
ation In Ills own Inkwell, ho found by a little figuring that the firm was
wasting 3,000 ounces of ink a week. They were quick to act on his sug
gestion and the installation of a new form of Inkwell, which prevented
evaporation of Its contents, result'd In a gain that year of $450, and of
$1,200 each succeeding year.
The American Society for Thrift Is making a nation-wide effort for
the encouragement of individual thrift, on which the thrift of the nation
depends. Kxplalnlng why It is needed, President Simon W. Straus of
this society said:
"The prevailing spirit in the United States once was that of thrift.
Today we are a prodigal nation. The maxims of 'Poor Richard* (Ben
jamin Franklin) which did so much to keep the heads of the people level
for half a century seem forgotten. Thrift means more than saving. It
means earning, working, planning, increasing as well ns conserving. Upon
individual thrift the prosperity and thrift of the nation depends. It is
high time that more Is systematically • done to encourage and teach It.
Knowledge of the A B Cs of thrift will safeguard the savings of those
who in the past were misled by the get-rteh-quick schemes or who,
lacking knowledge of how or why, lacked Incentive to save and to be
thrifty. We find that today too little la being taught that bears direct
ly upon thrift. We have been care less as well as prodigal. *
affine This was repeated- at inter
VFls and other remedies were tried
too, but the chippinK of the shaft
continued. Some time ago a bronze
and gold tip was placed on the point
of the obelisk. This, It is believed,
lias amply protected the top. If not,
the top will alßvi be treated with the
new process If the preservative
proves successful, he authorities ex
pect to restore the monolith to its
original appearance by remitting the
hieroglyphics in the sections that
have been destroyed. This work may
be accomplished accurately from
photographs taken when the shaft
was brought from Egypt, when every
character was clear-cut and well de
fined.
ASTRONOMY NOT SO MUCH.
Sir Robert Ball, the famous Eng
lish astronomer, whose death occurred
a few months ago, used to tell a little
story of an experience that he had
when he was at the Punslnk observa
tory. A farmer came, to him one dny
and asked him if he might look at the
moon through the telescope,
"Surety you can," said Hall. "Come
round tonight and I shall lie very hap
py to let you see It through the tele
scope."
••Can't I see tt now?" asked the
farmer, surprised.
"I am sorry that you cannot," said
the astronomer. "You will have to
watt until night.”
"Hugh! Then your old telescope is
not so great a thing as I thought It
waa'” cried the man, relieved from
his Illusion. "1 can see the moon at
night without It." —Youth’s Compan
ion.
POOR GIRL NOT RESPONSIBLE.
Men who sit in street cars while wo
men stand and give ns their excuse
the assertion that women do not thank
them when they do offer their seats
will tike this story:
The man arose and gave his sent to
a girl.
"Oh, thank you most kindly, sir.”
she replied.

Sir: If you were editor of a coun
try correspondent what would you do,
shoot, poison, hang, or allow him to
waste away naturally?
"G. A. Fox escaped a miraculous ac
cident Sunday with his auto he was
trying to teach a friend how to drive
the car who became bewildered and
came near running into the fence
upon trying to avoid the fence near
by upset hut. for the quick witted act
of Mr. Fox by putting his foot on the
brake no serious damage only a bad
scare.” —H. C. A., In Chico Tribune.

AT THE OPERA.
A certain representative In congress
from the west is very fond of music,
and It annoys him to a degree at the
opera to perceive the inattention ot
the audience.
One night when he had slipped over
to New York to visit tile Metropolitan
a friend Tound him supping at a
Broadway establishment.
“1 have been to the opera,” said
he. in response to the other's inquiry
“What did you hear?"
T heard,” said the representative,
“that the Twiliers are going to get a
divorce, that young Van Gilder has
married an English barmaid, and that
Mrs. J. C. Sprecklomeyer is gradually
pawning her Jewels.”—Exchange.
THE AMATEUR FARMER.
He likes to hear the pigeons coo,
The roosters crow at dawn.
He likes to have a cow or two
To ornament the lawn,
Ti e cows no milk pretend to yield
The hens decline to lay,
lie never harvests from the field
A scanty crop of hay.
But ho is happy, bless his heart.
The farm is neat and trim.
The livestock seems look the part
And that’s enough for him
those’women.
It was election dny and the women
had the right to vote. The tall, sour
faced female entered the polling booth
at 3:30 p. n>
"Did you wish to vote, Indy?" asked
one of the clerks.
■'No," replied the female, "I voted
this morning, but 1 want my ballol
back so I can change it. 1 have changed
my mind about some of the candi
dates, so you will oblige be my re
turning my ballot to me."
GIODA°!
"My horse Is right on his mettle to
day," observed the trainer, as h«
watched the flags canter to the post
That's right." replied the Old Sport
"I noticed that he was wearing plates
on his f««t."—Exchange.
