Il never took to Il man as | did to
Hank StutfCr. He moved in here with
out maxim no noise about it, and they
hain't no better neighbor in tn county"
1t was Farmer Waddy that was doing
the talking, and the squire of the town
ship only interrupted to ask whether the
farmer had ever missed any chickens or
shotcs before Hank settled in the vicin-
ity.
"No, l eve did admitted Waddy,
but l never lest nuthin Of tn kind
afore you got that new man of yours.
I'd trust Hank Stutfer with my life,
squire"
Don't be too confidin." insisted the
squire. Many tn apple I've seen that
looked pcrfec' on tn outside, but was
rotten at tn core. Hank seems all right,
but l wouldn't be surprised no day to
see him fetched up afore me. Things
hain't right in this communerty since
he jined it."
That's so, but there's a million
things happened outside Of Hanks
comm. His folks couldn't eat all tn
things what's stole, al he don't sell
nuthin."
Watch him." insisted the squire.
And he took his leave with "A fine imi-
tation of the man who looks after the
morals of the entire neighborhood.
Farmer Waddy did watch, and he
hired others to help him watch. If this
were fiction, it would be the squire or
his new man who was trapped. But
truth is All exacting mistress. 1t was a
worthless fellow living in a log hermi,

hasn't the slightest bearing on the case
that he was selling all the plumber to

The ambassadors have formally nOll,

tior OF the powers 10 land troops on the
island Of Crete to relieve the detach-
ments Of foreign mar:nes now on duty
ashore. The porte has raised no objec-
lions up to the present time, believing
that the next move of the foreign fleet
will be to carry out the threat Of the
powers to blockade the principal ports
and coasts OF Greece. On this question,
however. there is no unanimity Of opln-
ion.
In the meanwhile the war prepara-
tons of Greece are continuing night and
day and there are no indications OF a
back down in that quarter.
Money does not appear to be lacking
for the equipment of the Greeks and the
large supply Of arms II ammunition
have been forthcoming, from what
source is not so clear. There is one fea-
ture OF the situation which should not
be overlooked. The Greeks are Animal
ed by the strongest feeling of warlike
enthusiasm, while the Turks are said 10
be suffering the greatest privations, with
out a or proper equipment, which has
made hen sullen and resentful, but far
from DESTROYS OF entering upon an ag-
gressive campaign. II war is declared
the Greek army from Larissa will prob
ably try to enter Macedonia with the
Crown Prince Constantine and Il sec
ond Greek army will attempt to enter
Epirus from the vicinity of Arta.
1t is still possible that war may be
averted by timely concessions to Greece,
such as the withdrawal of all Turkish
forces from Crete and the selection of
Prince George OF Greece as governor OF
Crete. with the understanding that when
quiet is restored it shall be decided by
plebiscite, whether or not the island is
to be annexed to Greece.

COCAINE INERRIETY.
Specialists Largely Blamed for the
Spread of the Curse.

Specialists Largely Blamed for the
Spread of the Curse.
The medical press comments on the
gravity of the increase in many parts
of the world of cocaine inebriety. Much
of the onus is placed on druggists,
dentists, rhinologists and laryngolo-
gists, on the part Of whom, it is main
tanned, the free prescription of the drug
should be checked, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Remembering that every
individual may hive some special
idiosyncrasy against some particular
drug the first application of cocaine
should be made very carefully, as, In
deed, should every subsequent one.
There can be no doubt that many spe-
cialists are responsible for establishing
the cocaine habit with a great many
of their patients In having treated cory
zas, hay fevers and other local discom-
forts Of the nasal passages with solu-
tons of cocaine. The constitutional et-
feet is pronounced and alluring. A
medical may says he has now in mind
almost a score Of such victims, who
would have done far better to have
worried along with their hay fevers
and other nasal annoyances than to be
afflicted with the cocaine habit, which
is hundred times worse than the dis
ease for which It Is used. The great
est number of victims is to be found
among society women and among wOm-
en- who have adopted literature as a
profession; and there is no doubt that
a considerable proportion Of chronic
cocainists have fallen under the do
inion of the drug from desire to slim
ulate their powers of imagination. 9th
ers have acquired the habit quite inno-
Gently from taking coca wines fortified
with salts of the alkaloid in solution.
Both coca wines made from cocaine
and cocaine lozenges and tablets should
be supplied with the utmost caution
and prescriptions containing cocaine
should not be dispensed a second time
without being reinitialed by the pre-
scriber. The symptoms experienced by
the victims of the cocaine habit are
illusions of sight and hearing, neuro-
muscular irrttability and localizing an
aesthesia. After a time insomnia SUI
pervenes and the patient displays a
curious hesitancy and an inability to
arrive at a decision on even the most
trivial matter. One drug habit speed
lily engenders another and the victim
of chronic cocainism is usually addict
ed to Overindulgence in alcohol, be-
sides being a confirmed cigarette
smoker.

LOST CASE BUT won HER.


A Carolina Lover spOlls His Girls DAM
age Suit.
While some of the members of the
local bar were entertaining an attorney
from North Carolina he told me this
among good many other professional
experiences, says the Detroit Free
Press. Though our mountain people

them for a time to take on some health,
and while there paid more attention
than he really meant to one of the few
beauties that live there. She was a
creature of magnificent proportions,
naturally brilliant, and as relentless of
purpose as any moonshiner that ever
wentafter a revenue officer. She sought
to recover $4,000 damages for breach
of promise, and had the young mans
case. On trial the girl made a star
witness. When asked her point blank
If he had ever proposed to her she re-
piled that he had not, in so many
words, but his every action, look, even
his tones, was proposal She admit
ted that she had not gone into decline

Quilted longing and wounded pride II
looked bad for us. At this stage of the
case lank six-footer from the mount
aims came to me and whispered that he
wanted to be called as my first witness
He sternly declined to answer cues
lions till on the stand, but reckoned
that his word was good and that he
would pull the young fellow through.
All ever asked him was his name and
you couldn't have stopped him with a
gun. He was the girls husband. He
had married her week after the young
man left the mountains He had con-
sented to her bringing the suit in her
maiden name and saying nothing about
her being wife. But if it's So he

Gen. Grant,n Uniform.

General Horace Porter describes the
advance on Petersburg in the April,
instalment of his articles in the Cen
fury on Campaigning with Grant"
General Porter says, concerning Grants
attitude towards dress:
The weather had become SO warm
that the general and most of the staff
had ordered thin, dark blue flannel
blouses to be sent to them to take the
place of the heavy uniform coats which
they had been wearing. The summer
clothing had arrived, and was now
tried on. The generals blouse, like
the others, was of plain material, sim
gle breasted, and had four regulation
brass buttons in front. 1t was substan-
TALLY the coat of private soldier, with
nothing to indicate the rank of an Of
hcer except the three gold stars Of d
lieutenant general on the shoulder
straps He wore at this time a turn
down white linen collar and a small,
black butterfly" cravat, which was
hooked on to his front collar button.
The general, when he put on the blouse
did not take the pains to see whether
it fitted him or to notice how it looked,
but thought only of the comfort it
afforded. and said, well, this is a re-
lief" and then added: II have never
taken as much satisfaction as some
people in making frequent changes in
my outer clothing. l like to put ON
a suit of clothes when get up in the
morning, and wear it until go to bed,
unless l have to make change in my
dress to meet company. 1 have been
in the habit of getting one coat at a
time, putting it on and wearing it ev-
cry day as long as it looked respect
able, instead of using a best and a
second best. know that is not the
right way to manage, but a comfort
able coat seems like an old friend, ami
l don't like to change it."
The general had also received a pair
of light, neatly fitting calfskin boots,
to which he seemed to take a fancy;
thereafter he wore them most of the
time in place of his heavy top boots,
putting on the latter only when he rode
out in wet weather.

ELEcTRIcAL TRAvRL.
wshasrs Are Being Accomplished Ia
This Age.

Wahdsrs Are Being Accomplished In
This Age.
Il is only proper and natural that the
greatest railroad building nation should
take the lead in electrical traction, and
with conditions unrivaled 70 rexperi-
ment and practical demonstration We
would be unworthy the distinction con-
ferred, upon us by struggling ancestors
IL we did not sustain our reputation,
says the Chautauquan. In converting
our steam lines, cable and horse car
roads into electric railways the ques-
ton of obtaining the power from cheap
and abundant sources is paramount.
The success Of the Niagara people
opens up field heretofore existing
merely in speculation, and 1t has had
the effect of stimulating others in orig
inal Investigations and experiments
to obtain power from similar sources.
Vague rumors have been current to
theA effect that capitalists were on the
point OF organizing to convert the pow
er Of the Missouri, Mississippi and
other rivers into electrical energy. It
has been estimated that the tides of
the North and East rivers exert a
power many times greater than would
be required to light the whole metro
politan district and to supply heat for
the buildings and turn the wheels Of
all the railroads and factories. The
question of collecting and storing the
power seems to be the only debatable
part Of the subject, and this is being
seriously considered by inventors and
scientists A tidal water plant has
been established at Bowers Cove, near
providence, r. l., where experiments
are now being made to convert the
energy of the tides into electricity 1t
is anticipated by the promoters of the
enterprise that power, light and heat
can be supplied to all mills, traction
companies and private houses in Rhode
Island at less than one-half the present
cost 1t may be many years before we
shall succeed in Harvesting the tides
along the two great oceans that wash
our shores, but they are sources Of such
an endless amount of power that the
world will not be satisfied until they
are controlled or their utility proved
futile, The conversion of the energy
exerted by the currents of our great
rivers into useful power is limited only
by the question of initial expense in
establishing the plant.

A Municipal Daily.

Dresden, the capital of the German
kingdom of Saxony, owns a singular
piece of property morning news
paper-the "Dresuener Anzel ger" This
daily, upon the death of its last pro-
prietor, was bequeathed to the city up-
on the condition that all profits aris-
ing therefrom should be spent upon the
public parks. This year large play
ground of nearly eight acres was pur-
chased from Prince George, the kings
brother and heir apparent, and it will
be ready for use this summer. The pa
per continues to hold the respect OF all
citizens, for the trust has been carried
out in its broadcast spirit, and the power
has never been employed to foster any
school Of opinion-social, political or
religious.
