The corporation article in the new
constitution Of Mississippi-which was
directly the work Of Senator George
for which he contended against ev-
cry corporation lawyer in the Conven.
tion-is worth more to the masses Of
the people than all the Sub-Treasuries
and advocates of Sub Treasures be-
tween crab grass and blue heaven. The
real question is, will these masses
strike him down at the behest of those
who seek his place under the cover OF
this Sub-Treasury device-some OF
whom, after urging on the Constitu'
tional Convention, conveniently has
business elsewhere when asked to
serve their constituents in it.--Green-

An Advertising Hint.

The trite comment upon success Of
any sort that ''there is everything in
knowing how" is particularly applica-
Bile to the business Of advertising.
Merchants generally advertise their
business, but not many Of them regard
advertising as a part Of their business
that is, 'they do not put business
methods and business brightness into
their advertising. Judicious adver-
tising pays every time, and he who
knows how to advertise judiciously is a
better equipped business man than is
his merchant neighbor who does not
know when and how to advertise. A
striking advertisement will run the
gamut Of popular attention and get
into the afr like popular song. Ad-
vertisements have become familiar as
household words, and remain adver-
tisements long after they had disappear
ed from newspaper columns and from
advertising bill-boarls-Er.

Tie Tea Houses of Japan.

Mousmees, rickshaws and tea houses
are the three institutions one associates
with Japan. Kipling has made the rick
shaws hardly more Of a phantom than
the three-horse car, while Sir Edwin Ar
mold and Pierre Lott have pictured the
gentle mousmee with such exquisite
finish that people ignorant Of the mean
ing of the word a few months back are
in love with her quaint beauty and raw
ishing smiles.
Tea houses are simply inns or restau-
rants where the principal refreshment
(often the only one) is tea. In the cities
they are the favorite evening resorts, for
there you can hire the gaudy Geisha
girls to dance and sing or play the samo-
sin and koto between the intervals Of
love making. She is a mistress of this
art. Nara, one of the most beautiful
placesin Japan, has no other accommodate
ton, and notice must be sent the day be-
fore to tell the owner how many guests
he is to accommodate.
Rickshaws laden with supplies start a
few hours ahead, the coolies who draw
them acting as cooks and house servants
during your stay. Slowed in these USE
full vehicles is all you require-food and
the utensils for cooking and eating it.
The teahouse supplies nothing but chop
sticks, fresh eggs and rice. The little
teahouse at Nara was like a white parch-
ment box with wooden corners, and
stood in the shade of a crystomoria
grove. In the heat Of the day the parch-
ment walls disappear mysteriously into
the wooden corners; then the entire
house looks like a platform, with high
wooden corner posts, raised a few feet
frsm the ground, covered with dazzling
white matting.-Once a Week.

Frankfort,s System of Banks.

Of all the schemes designed for small
savings and to encourage the poor to lay
by small sums the penny savings stamp
system, established in 1882 at Frankfort
on-the-Main, is the most unique. Frank
fort is distinguished among European
cities by the large average wealth of its
citizens, and by its exceptional promi-
hence in all that pertains to banking
and finance. Many great banking fami-
lies had their origin in Frankfort, from
which branches have been established
at Paris, London, Vienna and New York.
There are today not less than 200 bank
ing houses, public and private, in the
city. 1t might naturally be expected,
then, in view Of these facts, that some
original features in the line of savings
banks should be found there.
The Frankfort Savings bank is a pri-
vate corporation established in 1923,
nearly seventy years ago, when Frank
fort was a free city and independent of
all state allegiance and control. 1t be-
gan with 294 depositOrs, with sc, 934
marks to their credit. In 1889 there
were sc, 697 depositors, with an aggre-
gate capital of 1925, 697 marks, the re-
ceipts and Withdrawals that year being
6~,319,276 and 5,151, 500 marks respec-
lively.
There are three departments connected
with this institution. The Savings De-
post bank, which comprises a central
Office and two branches in different parts
of the city; the Weekly Savings bank,
a separate bureau, under the same man
agement, but differing from it in that it
collects from each depositor a stated
weekly deposit, and the Penny Savings
institution, which is adapted to the
methods of the humblest class of depos-
itors, whose savings are limited to a few
pennies per day or week.-New York
Recorder.

Comfort for COrnSeS.

Among the inventions that commend
themselves to public notice during the
last fifty years are those relating to cof-
fins, graves and burials. One of these is
intended to furnish the tenant Of a grave
who has been buried prematurely with a
means of escape or arousing the neigh
borhood. This invention is a simple af-
fair, being merely an open tube provided
with a rope ladder and a bell and cord.
Should the occupant of the coffin awake
from the trance he could climb the lad
der and make his way back to the world,
or pull the bell and alarm the township.
For those whose only fear is that they
may not be allowed to rest undisturbed
a considerate inventor has provided a
'%'torpedo grave" which, if disturbed, ex-
plodes at once and s~catters the vandals
to the winds.-Chicago Times.

A Modern Solomon.

A famous Chicago lawyer once had a
singular case to settle. Aphysician came
to him in great distress. Two sisters,
living in the same house, had babies of
equal age, who so resembled each other
that their own mothers were unable to
distinguish them when they were to-
gether. Now it happened that by the
carelessness of the nurses the children
had become mixed, and how were the
mothers to make sure that they received
back their own infants? "But, perhaps
said the lawyer, "the children weren't
changed at all" 'Oh, but there's no
doubt they were changed" said the ply
stefan. Are you sure of it," "Per-
fectly." "Well if that's the case why
don't you change them back again? l
don't see any difficulty in the case

Why Women hould Help Govern.

The eternal and ineradicable distinc-
ton of sex is n principal reason why
women in a representative government
should be directly represented. If law
yers alone cannot safely be trusted to
make laws for mechanics, if merchants
alone cannot legislate for farmers, if
every well defined class in society is en-
titled to its own authoritative expression
through the ballot, surely women, who
are the wives and sisters and mothers of
men, should give expression to the do
mestic interests from the feminine point
of view. If a blacksmith cannot fairly
represent a physician, how much less can
a man represent a woman.-Henry B.
Blackwell.

A PRIZE WAS GIVEN.

Yes, there is a prize. Wot are you
givin' us: Didn't a man tell me so? He
amt going to eat up ION Of your fine
haired pups, but he's goin' to get that
prize"
There might have been a fracas and
an arrest, for the boy who had paid his
money was positive and determined, but
just then a gentleman CHANGED to step to
the door and asked what was the matter.
''Oh, he's got a tool notion about a
prize for brindle pups" explained the
gatekeeper, land is making a fuss about
his dog going in"
There isn't such a prize offered, l am
positive" said the man. Il am one Of
the judges"
What sort Of a show is this here,
them"
"a dog show, of course"
And no prize for the best dog?"
1T is for a certain kind of dogs-those
that cost a great deal of money"
And not for the kind that jumps into
the ice and drags a boy outen the river::"
Did your dog do that?"
Yes; and that there's the boy he did
it to-"
The gentleman looked incredulous, but
just then a newspaper reporter who had
been watching the boys from the street
stepped up and corroborated the state
ment.
"Wait here a minute" said the gentle
man; and he disappeared within and
went briskly to where a group OF his
friends We're talking. In a minute he
came back with something in his hand,
and followed by several others.
I'VE have decided" he said, that
there ought to be a prize for that kind
of a dog, and here is a five dollar gold
piece for the owner of the dog" and at
the same time he stepped forward and
tied a knot Of blue ribbon TO the strap
around the dogs neck.

HART,s BOLD HIGH FoR A VIE

Trouble Followed Their ElOpement,
but They are Happy Now.
Two young lovers of Unionville have
cleverly outwitted the cruel mother of
the girl. For a long time Herbert Hart.
a popular young man., has been des-
perately in love with Blanche Durham,
the village belle. Mrs Wilson told
Blanche that she was too young to have
lover, and threatened to send her to
Bridgeport. When Blanche told her
lover of her mothers threats he told her
to be ready for journey at daylight
Wednesday morning.
Hart then engaged team to drive to
Hartford. just as the sun was rising
Wednesday morning Herbert drove up
placing a light ladder in position he
transferred her to the buggy. In a
moment they We're on their way toward
Plainville, which he reached in time to
| take the 7:10 New England road train
| for Fishkill, N. Y. Arriving there they
were soon married. Mrs Wilson's IN
quiries soon revealed the fact that young
Hart had hired team to drive to Hart
ford. She telegraphed to the capitol
city ordering the fugitives to be held to
await her arrival. She then began pur-
suit on the supposed trail of the lovers.
| She returned from Hartford a very
much discounted woman yesterday.
Meanwhile young Hart and his bride
had returned, but Mrs Wilson refused
admission to the groom, and after a
long conference with her daughter sue
ceeded in persuading her that the mar
rage was not legal. Mrs Wilson in
duced her to desert young Hart and GO
to Bridgeport. The groom took his
parents with him and followed her
there, A Bridgeport lawyer was called
in, and satisfied the girl that she was
the legal wife of her Herbert. They

COUNCIL loINT MEEqlNe.
The Question of Parks Discussed a
Length

The Question Of Parks Discussed at
Length
The court of common council held a
meeting last night to act on the invita-
ton to attend the Memorial day exer-
cises and to discuss the question of
securing land for park purposes. 1t was
voted that members of the council and
all the city officials attend the Memorial
exercises in carriages. The members
will meet at City hall at $50 a. m.
The question of park sites was then
taken up. The site most discussed and
which met the greatest favor was the
property on Riverside street, running
from the Riverside cemetery to the
hospital. The property belongs to the
A. B. Welson estate, of which A. M.
Blakesley is trustee. The mayor in
speaking of the property said that every
one recognized the fact that the city
needs public park badly and that in
the course of a few years it would be
impossible to purchase land in easy
walking distance of the principal CEN
tiers of population without paying an
enormous price for it. The city, he
said, could purchase the property for
S25. 900 and give note for it, paying
probably per cent interest. He
thought the council should look over
the matter and discuss it thoroughly.
After considerable comment, most oil
which was favorable to the site, it was
decided that the court of common coun-
Gil visit the place in a body after the
memorial exercises on Saturday.

He Leaves Behind Him a Good Seven
Years Record.
On Sunday next the republican adj
ministration in the county sheriff's office
will come to an end after an eXis 'ence
will commence. The exact moment of
the change will be at midnight Sunday,
but it is not probable that Sheriff Elect
Tomlinson will lay awake that night in
order to take immediate charge of
affairs. Should riot occur or any
thing else demanding the sheriff's atten-
ton after that hour Sheriff Gates and
his deputies may rest with an easy con-
science, for they will not be. responsible
for its suppression. AT the. Jail the
change will take place at 8 o'clock Sun
day afternoon, and Captain Beardsley
will pass the keys over to Jalior Elect
Keefe. The incoming officials have
been busy the past week or two learning
the ropes, as it were. Sheriff Gates,
who retires after sci wing two terms, one
of three years and the other of four,

in all about ten murders in the county.
In every instance the guilty person was
captured, and in most cases was brought
to punishment. In the others, through
some legal intricacies, the punishment
was either diverted or STAYED off for a
time.

II Is still the Greatest and Grandest On
Earth.
For the first time in weeks the great
Barnum g. Bailey circus has struck q
rainy day. The downpour was not
heavy enough to seriously affect their
waterproof tents, however, although it
dampened the aIdor of the small boy
and kept at home many of our country
friends.
The big show arrived from Danbury
about o'clock this morning and almost
Immediately after it began to rain. The
parade took place promptly at the APP
pointed hour and, considering the day,
was all that was expected and more.
There was crush at the ticket Office
long before it was open this afternoon
and the lightning manner in which
these people were handled was not the
smallest feature of the outside show.
The circus tent proper Is constructed
on plan not before seen in Waterbury.
1t is considerably longer than the ordi-
nary big tent and the seats run only
along three sides, the other being given
up to dressing rooms and furnishing
space for the production of 1.-THE De
struction of Rome" This great spec.
tacular production was the last number
on the programme this afternoon. but
at the evening performance it will be
gin the trouble.
The menagerie is better and larger
than ever. Besides the great number oil
animals, number of very marvellous
optical illusions have been added, which
are alone worth seeing and bordering
over.
