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 A newly discovered preservation i ro nes* for stone Is being used in the work Many years ago the obelisk »a* treated with a coating of par . 1 IP" I ®SSj SS (if , wrt e \ H -* i :| " I LiS®* I m<jav i<vi*/o tveTj ha-ha ha 'IP* JTMR-r - ‘ i | vjecahlKjT A .iahehao/a 1 EJL’SS’is.) Ell i ' ■ *. A H - / / \f— THE W-W JO.OIEA /////, ItM V, > jgfrfMgsU 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. "Don’t mind her being polite.” ex plained a sad-faced woman. ’’l'm tak ing her to a sanitarian ■ Kansas City Star. ALL SORTS OF A BIRD. The wife of a Methodist minister In West Virginia has been married three times. Her maiden name was Par tridge. her first husband was named Robin and her second Sparrow and the prenent one Is named Quale There are now two young Robins gnd a Spar row and three Quales In the faintly One grandfather was a Swan and an other a Jay, but he's dead now and a bird of paradise.—Hume Border Tele phone. INDOOR SPORTS s By Tad TRIALS OF COUNTRY EDITOR. 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. . - -t- ■—* . .. 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."
