ROBERT TooMBs STATE PRIDE. --His
pride of state is wonderful. One day he
sauntered into the Supreme Court room
rather under the influence OF liquor. An
attorney was addressing the court in
terms seeming to indicate that Georgia
would not pay her debts. Interrupting
him, Gen. Toombs said: "May it please
the court, Georgia will pay her debts.
II she does not, then l will pay them for
her." Toombs is now "A years of age

amendments are frivolous when compared
with the radical defects of the Constitu-

Legislature, an end would be made OF the
whole matter as for as the amendments
are concerned, and the people need not

needed is Constitutional Convention,

Funeral Etiquette From n Medical
Standpoint.

In case of death from 4 contagious
disorder, public funerals are very prop
erly forbidden by health authorities,
although occasionally a wake" is
surreptitiously held, with its unfortun-
ate but natural results; of this. how
ever, we need not speak, as the wisdom
of thus limiting infection is acquiesced
in generally by intelligent people. and
the law is usually obeyed. There are
some minor infractions of the laws of
health that should be mentioned, which
physicians have repeatedly called at
tention to, but the higher laws of fash
ion and custom appear TO exert pre-
ponderating influence. For instance,
there are very few days in the year
when delicate women can ride long
distances in a close carriage, and then.
reaching the cemetery, stand upon the
damp, cold sod for greater or less
time during the final ceremonies at the
grave without physical injury to them
selves.
A custom also to which especial at
tention should be directed, in order TO
have it changed, is that of men stand
ing bare-headed in the open air. APP
parently Indifferent to the burning sun
of July or the cold winds of March,
without regard to the season or the
weather. Taking into consideration
the associated conditions, the neces-
sariIy depressing influence upon the
emotions of the sad duty which at the
time is pre-eminent in the mind, the
physical condition resulting from sit
ting in cramped position during
tedious ride in 4 carriage and the I'M
accustomed exposure TO the weather, it
is not surprising that cases of illness
result from the removal of the head
covering, particularly in elderly pco-
pie with an enfeeblcd circulation On
hot day there is danger of producing,
if not actual sunstroke, at least 4 con
gestion of the membranes of the brain,
which causes persistent and violent
headaches, and to these ministers and
those officiating are particularly liable
Whether the day be hot or cold, wet
or only windy, let the services be held
at place where the health of the at
PENDANTS need not be imperiled; let
delicate and weakly persons be re-
strained from riding to the cemetery
and from standing on the damp
ground; and especially let men obey
common sense rather than custom, and
keep on their hats when they risk n
sickness by their removal. -Nedicat

A Soldier Candidate for Assemblyman in
the Third District.

A couple of weeks ago we read an
article in the Grant County HERALD
nominating w. G. Willoughby, of Mont
fort, for the Assembly, and when we
came to the paragraph which referred
to his having been a soldier. and having
served in the 25th Wisconsin,, we re-
turned to the history of twenty years
past, that terrible crisis in our history,
when national life was threatened and
liberty assailed, when war clouds were
gathering, when our flag was trailed in
the dust, and the nation needed defend
ers. Then we said to our young men,
go fight for our institutions, and de-
fend our country against traitors, and
when you return we will remember you
in the distribution of our political and
public favors; and, qualifications being
equal, you shall always have the prefer
ence over civilian citizen" Is not
that promise just as sacred to-day and
just as binding as it was twenty years
ago? Should we not keep our plighted
faith and maintain our honor? Scarce
ly need wo ask these questions, because
we believe every pledge is sacredly
cnshrined in the hearts of the voters OF
to-day.
Aside from the record of a gallant
soldier, MIR. Willoughby is the peer OF
any member from this district for many
years, and the full peer of any man
named in connection with the present
canvass. His education has been
wrought out by industry and toll; not
in the college, of course, but by faithful
application even to the hour of mid
night. He has practical knowledge,
which will always be fund of wealth
to him as public servant.
He has not made, neither will he
make, n personal canvass of the district,
seeking the pledge of any man to vote
for him. He seeks the office for honor
and distinction among men, and that
he may render himself useful to his
district and his State. Who can or will
question his ambition in thus aspiring
to rank with the first and best men of
Wisconsin? As we have stood by the
Hon. +. l. Kidd, 50 let us who remem-
Der our pledges TO the Boys in Blue
give our hearty support to w G. Viii

A Foolish Fraud.

you would be surprised" said a
postoffie official recently, IF you could
know how frequently stamps are used
a second or even third time. And
what is the most surprising thing about
it is there is no profit for the person US
ing a stamp the second time, as it re-
quires more than two cents worth of
application and ingenuity to clean a
stamp; but the loss to the Government
is very considerable. Iwould be con-
tent to receive sum equivalent TO that
stolen from the department every year.
in this way for my salary. Postofiice
clerks by long practice become veIy
familiar with the appearance of good
and bad stamps. They acquire per-
haps the same degree of ability in the
detection of the irregularities as do
clerks who handle money, but in large
offices there are so many letters, and
the work of cancelling is of necessity
so rapid that very few chances are Of
fered for detection. 1t is only when
letters are deposited in offices where
the mail receipts are small that there
is any considerable danger of detec-
ton of using stamps a second time
But the use cannot be profitable, pack
ages or heavyweight letters having
sufficiently large postage stamps on
them to justify their cleansing for a
second use are subject to somewhat
rigid inspection and fraud can be de-
tectcd. As | said, however. the use of
smaller stamps a second time is large
enough to make quite hole in the de-
partment funds. "-NeW Orleans Times

Leading druggists and physicians are
becoming greatly interested in the
German preparation ' on Tagan's Ajax
inc. 1t is claimed that there is nothing
to compare with it for kidney, liver or
heart troubles, sick headache, costive-
ness, debility, etc. If true, its import
ance to every family cannot be over
estimated, for it means a great saving
of expense, suffering and perhaps life.
Sickness is always of momentous con-
sequence and so certain is Alaxine to
cure that laborious effort is being made
to persuade every Interested person, first
to try one bottle, which will tell the
story, if it Is 20 benefit; if not, the agent
Fred w. Bryan, is instructed to refund

should make constant urging unneces-

must be admitted. DO not buy any
other preparation until you have per-
s9nally used this. 2Sy1
