JRWINT.ON, GA.. AUG. 2), 1908.
Veto, veto! How many bills has
he vetoed this time. We know there
must be some bad scent about the
eapitcl with so many dead bills lying
around.
It is estimated that an extra ser
sion of the legislature will cost the
taxpayers of the state a b urel of
money. Goodness! Give us that
much money and we wouldn’t care
p we didn’t haye another legislature
in ten years.
• ♦
An extra session of the legislature
will be called in a few days to decide
the fate of the convict lease system,
Capt. Coombs and a few others. The
entire family circle should be im
peached and put out of business and
start anew and aright.

The Sprmgtieid, Illinois race riot
was a rather warm affair from all uu—
counts. Pile trouble, uegan about a
... >ro assaulting a white lady and
coned lo the death of about a hun
dred negroes and several whites.
The people of the south only want
revenge from the assailant, but it
seems that the northerners want ven
gence from the entire race when their
feelings are incensed.
Bought His Own Work.
To eonie across a bit of one's own
work in print is an experience not ordl
liarily exasperating to an author, but a
Washington writer on scientific mat-,
ters was recently not very agreeably
surprised by such a development.
It appears that the writer was col
lecting material for a monograph on
electro magnetism when word came to
him of a valuable paper on the subject
not long before published in a Berlin
journal devoted to science. Thinking
that the paper would be of use to him
in the work in hand, lie bad it trans
lated. When the English version was
laid before him, together with quite a
bill for the translator’s labor, what was
the disgust of the writer to find that
the article was nothing more or less
than a German reproduction of an ar
ticle of his own published the year be
fore in an English journal. And he
had paid twice as much for the trans
lation as lie had received for the orig
inal article.'- Washington Star.
A Dream Superstition.
I beard what was to me at least a
new piece of superstition the other day,
and when I think of the risks I’ve run
all these years because I didn't know
' of it my blood runs cold. I met a wo
man from Virginia in market, and the
talk falling on dreams 1 recalled a
most blood curdling nightmare I had
bad the night before.
“I must tell you what I dreamed
Jast night,” t said.
“Let me ask first whether it's a pleas
ant or au unpleasant dream?” said the
lady from Virginia.
“Decidedly unpleasant.”
“Then for mercy's sake don't tel) it!"
said she. “Never tell a bad dream on
Saturday, for we say in Virginia:
‘‘Friday night’s dream on Saturday told
js sure to come true, no matter how old."

Australian Cadets.
AH children in Australia are drilled,
put the elder boys are attached to the
Australian military forces by means
cf the cadet corps. Almost every large
school has its bau(T of cadets, who
wear ueat khaki uniforms and are
armed with light titles, in the use of
which they are frequently instructed.
Every year those boys have shooting
matches, and the scores prove that
among the youngsters there are many
who have already become skilled
^narksmen.— London Standard. *

On a New Footing.
Mr. Absalom Foote, an eccentric old
gentleman who had grown tired cf life
in the city, decided to move to some
smaller town, free from the roar of
trafll". the bustle and confusion of the
thronging multitude, where lie could
end liis days tranquilly, as became a
pianos his ago. In casting about for
a location, his eye chanced to light
, upon the advertisement in a village
paper of one Thomas It. Foote, who
wanted to dispose of his boot and
shoe store at a bargain, having made
up his mind to remove to tin* city.
“That's the very tiling.” lie said.
1 “Selling shoes is a nice easy oceupa-
I tion. It will give me just enough to
_ do to keep me from stagnating, and it
won't wear me out with overwork.
' I'll investigate it. It’s queer, though,
t that his name is Foote, my name is
; Foote, lie wants to come to the city
and I want to go to the country.”
A visit to the little town decided
’ 1 him. He liked its appearance and lo
cation. He was pleased, moreover,
with “Foote’s Shoe Store" and bought
it, good will and all, at a bargain.
“Well,” said the other Mr. Foote,
“you won’t have to change the sign.”
“No,” he answered slowly. “I’ll just
add a little to it.”
• । The next day he added this, just
below the sign: “This place has
changed feet.”
A Psychic Phenomenon.
An extraordinary incident is connect
ed with Professor vou Herkomer's fa
mous painting, “The Last Muster,”
i which was the picture of its year at
, the academy.
One morning soon after the exhibl
’ tion was opened the artist was aston
ished to receive a letter from a lady, a
perfect stranger, who said she was
uot aware until she saw “The Last
Muster” at the academy on the previ
ous day that her mother, then dead,
had ever sat to the professor for her
portrait.
Now, the figure In the picture was
> painted solely from imagination, and
i the artist hastened to explain this fact
ito his correspondent. She thereupon
■ asked for an appointment and took an
oil painting of her mother, asserting
I that it was a faithful representation of
| that lady,
; The academician was astonished to
perceive that he had really portrayed
on his own canvas a facsimile of the
figure in this other painting, although
It was that of a woman whom he had
never seen in his life.—Loudon M. A. P.

The Lion and the Child.
; The strange spectacle of a lion play
; lug witli a child is reported to have
. been witnessed at Vryheid. A Dutch
> farmer, accompanied by his wife and
i little boy, was out shooting game.
Suddenly the attention of the parents
was drawn to the child, who had tod
dled a short distance away to gather
wild flowers. Crowing with delight,
. the little fellow was pulling tire hair
of a full grown lion, and the animal
, appeared to be enjoying the operation.
( Spellbound, the fanner and his wife
stood gazing at the scene. The farmer,
even if his-gun had contained a shot,
could uot have fired because of the
child. The lion skipped sportively
1 round the boy until, startled by loud
shouts from the parents, it walked
quietly away, followed by a lioness,
which up to then had lain concealed In
' the long grass. A hunt was afterward
! organized, but the lions had disappear
’ eel into the thick bush.—East Rand
■ Express.
She Hated Garrick.
Mrs. Clive was eminent as an actress
on the London stage before Garrick
appeared, and as liis blaze of exccl
. lenee threw all others into compara
tive insignificance she never forgave
him and took every opportunity of
venting her spleen. She was coarse,
rude and violent in her temper and
spared nobody.
One night as Garrick was perform
ing “King I .ear” she stood, behind the!
scenes to observe him and, iu spite of
the roughness of her nature, was so
deeply affected that she sobbed one
' minute and abused him the next, and
, at length, overcome by his pathetic
. touches, she hurried from the place
with the following extraordinary trib
ute to the universality of his powers:
, “Hang him! I believe he could act a
gridiron.”—T. IVs Weekly.
What Is Education?
, Herbert Spencer tells us In one short,
, pregnant sentence that the function of
> education is to prepare us for com
, plete living.
I A true chord is touched by Sydney
, Smith when he urges the importance of
. happiness as an aid to education. He
- says, “If you make children happy
, now, you make them happy twenty
, years hence by the memory of it.”
। Equally wise are the words of Sir
? John Lubbock: “Knowledge Is a pleas
ure as well ns a power. It should lead
us all to try witli Milton to behold the
bright countenance of truth in the still
, air of study.”

Smithers—l am going to have iny pfe

kind of a position do you think would
be the best for me? Brownrig—Well,
I don’t know. I was going to say with
your back to the camera, but then your
hair is rather thin behind.—Boston

“Has she told you that she loved

“Not in so many words. She merely

The Brainy Bunch.
Mr. Sinlc—Do you see "those three

Mrs. Getup—Yes; who are they? Mr.
Sinlc—One is a somnambulist, one is
