APHoRIsMs FOR You've MEN,
No business man has time to think
about his misfortunes.
Do not get the blues. They are
a sure sign that you are idling.
II you are single, always think
that if you had family it would
keep You down.
If you are married, don't fancy
that it is your expensive family that
is keeping You down.
Remember what Cavour used to
say when the game went against
him, "Patience-and shuttle the
cards 70
Don't forget that the present ID
nothing ). that it has ceased to ex.
ist as soon as it is bern that the
future is everything.
Do not take yourself too serious.
ly. Remember that the universe
revolves about himself for every
man and not You alone.

A well-know English bishop was
examining a batch of deacons for

cal part he said: Gentlemen, you
have passed a most excellent exam

to see you do something practical.

ship had retired, the candidates
were in some confusion and nobody
cared to begin; but at last an Irish
man volunteered to be first. He
entered the study and approaching
the bishop, who was lying with q
woebegone air on a sofa, thus ad-
dressed him: ooh, Anthony! The
drink again! Shure it will be the
death of We! Turn from your evil
ways before it is too late, and be a

the last time that the bishop held
a practical examination.

Juris Not Judses.

The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed gtates has just rendered de-
cision which will have far reach
ing effect. BY the laws of Mary
land and Of many other States in
all criminal trials juries are made
judges Of the law as well az Of facts,
and no Judge could instruct jnries
as TO the law applicable to any par
ticular case. Lawyers could argue
points Of law, cite decisions and
pzccedents, &C., bat juries were at
liberty to take their own legal view
OF the case they were considering.
The decision of the Supreme Court
alluded to DEGREES this 10 be wrong,
and decides, for the first time, clear
ly and distinctly, that the jury is
not the Judge OF the law in GRIM
inal case, bnt must take the law
from the bench. Discussing this
decision. the New York Herald says !:
ono legal question has been dis
cussed for longer time than this,
and none has caused a more marked
conflict of opinion. The impor-
tance Of the problem, as well as the
difficulty Of its solution, may be
inferred from the fact that three
opinions were prepared by members
Of the Supreme Court and they win
ill hundred and fifty pages, or
about third of a volume of the
court reports" Justices Gray and
Shiras dissented from the opinion
of the majority of the Court.

No Military Music IN JAPA

No MILITARY Music IN JAPAN.
The Japanese soldier may be
drilled into the semblance of his
European model, both in uniform
and maneuvres, but he keeps his
own characteristics just the same.
He marches without flags or music,
awakes without reveille, goes to his
meals and drill without drum or
bugle. He is a stole with no sem
timental speeches or ballads about
home. but only u fierce sense Of
patriotism. as shown in the defiant,
bloodthirsty songs of the present
campaign. The Japanese are ex-
cellent for artillery work, but COM
paratively poor marksmen with
small arms.-Philadelphia Record.

pie, through fear of death, are all
their lives subject to bondage. The
questions, How shall we die! When
shall we die? and Where shall we
die? are continually worrying them.
Indeed, there have been several
suicides caused by the haunting
terror Of death. The thought of it
made their lives insupportable, and
they killed themselves in order to
know the worst. And yet it is
quite possible that in respect to the
physical sensation of dying we re-
semble Don Quixote when he hung
by his wrist from the stable window
and imagined that q tremendous
abyss yawned beneath his feet; Fate,
in the character Of Maritornes, cuts
the thong with lightsome laughter
and the gallant gentleman falls
four inches.
When Louis XIV. lay dying,
why weep you?' he asked those
who surrounded his deathbed. Did
you think / should live forever
Then, after a pause, Il thought
dying had been harder DR.. Hun
ter was another who was greatly
surprised by his experience Of dy-
ing. His last words were: IF l
had strength to hold pen would
write down how easy and pleasant
thing it is to die A charming
actress who had been twice almost
drowned, told friend that dying
was the incest sensation that she
knew. The late Archbishop Of
Canterbury, as his agony befell,
quietly remarked, 1T is really moth
ing much after all.
A man said to Socrates, The
Athenians have condemned you to
DEATH and nature he replied,
'has condemned them.' BY the
ancient Greeks death was consider
cd simply as destroyer. To them
it was the last aud most bitter Of
foes. Achilles in Hades says to
Odysseus: Nay, speak not COM
fortably to me of death. Rather
would | live upon the earth the
hireling of an other than bear sway
over all the dead that are no more
When death is bitter it is so, as o
general rule, far more by reason of
anxiety and remorse than from ply
steal causes. A man for instance,
can scarcely die easily il he is leav-
ing a widow aud family for whom
provision has not been made. The
medical man who attended Oliver
Goldsmith in his last hour asked
him il there was anything on his
mind, as he could not account for
his temperature being so high. The
poet admitted that there was. Debt
was upon his mind. TO some it is
riches and not poverty that renders
death painful. When Garrick
showed to DR.. johnson his palatial
residence, the latter said: 'Ah,
David, these are the things that
make death terrible!'
John Wesley was once asked by
lady: Suppose you knew that
you were to die at 12 O'Clock to-
morrow night, how would you spend
the intervening timer
How, madam he replied, why,
just as intend to spend it now. /

THE MONROE DoCTRINE.-There
has been no much said about the
Monroe Doctrine during the past
few days that it may be well to set
it before our readers at this time.
1t is very brief. 1t was promulgst-
ed by President Monroe in mes
sage to Congress on December 2,
1923. Here it is:
eve owe it, therefore, to candor
and to the amicable relations exist
ing between the United States and
the allied powers to declare that we
should consider any attempt on
their part to extend their system to
any point of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or de-
tendencies of any European power
we have not interfered and shall
not interfere but with the govern
ments who have declared their in
dependence and maintained it aud
whose independence we have on
great consideration and just prin-
ciples acknowledged, we could not
view any interposition for the pur-
pose of expressing them or controll-
ing in any other manner their des-
tiny by any European power in any
other light than as the manifesto
ton of an unfriendly disposition
towards the United States"

Even If Mr.. Barbour could be seen lie

to-day, he has not yet engaged one, bu he

Here is the way Mr. Barbour can explain
that-shTinkage in the assets OF his fathers
estate When MT James L. Barbour died
appraisers Were appointed IN due time to
value the estate. All goods We're listed at
their cost price.
ION May 10 of this year the committee
appointed by the heirs appraised the prop
erty. They returned the property al its
actual value. Thus, if one year ago the
appraisers found the cost price uf some
article in trade TO be $1S they so listed
it, though it might have been in stock for
half dozen years. The committee last
appointed valued the same article at So,
or what 1t possibly might bring II sold.
