A Question.

The publisher of newspaper has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent. He
has the newspaper to sell and the space in
his columns to rent Can anyone inform
us why he should be expected to give
away either the one or the other? He
can if he so chooses, and he does, as a
matter of fact, furnish great deal of
space rent free. But it does not follow
that he ought to be expected to do 50. 1t
ought to be recognized as contribution,
exactly as would be the giving away of
sugar or coffee by grocer But, strange
to say, it is not looked upon in that light
at all, yet everybody knows that the exis-
tence of a newspaper depends upon the
rent of its space and the sale of the paper,
as a merchant success depends on selling
his goods instead Of giving them away.

But, oh, he doesn't roast the meat

He has good taste in cutting out
And sewing ehildrens clothes
That means economy, no doubt,
But fathers cooking goes
Ireally must insist that Jake
Shall seek cooking school

And then how proud and glad I'll be.

HOSPITAL ON WHEELS.
The Latest COntrivance For the Easy
transportation of InValids.

The Latest Continuance For the Easy
transportation of InvaIids.
The latest novelty in railroading is
the Belgian hospital car, which is made
the subject Of a special report to the
state department by Consul Morris at
Client 1t serves a double purpose. In
the event Of a serious accident along
the line it may run to the spot, where
the wounded may be gathered up and
taken to the nearest large city for treat
ment instead Of being left to pass
tedious, suffering hours at some wayside
station while awaiting surgical attend
anCe
1t also enables the railway companies
at certain seasons Or upon special coca
siOns to transport large numbers Of i'll
valids to health resorts or places Of pill
grimage. This new hospital car Will
enter into regular service on April 81.
The interior is divided into main COM
partment, corridor along one side and
two small rooms at the end
The large compartment is the hos
pital proper and contains "a isolated
beds in steel tubes hung upon powerful
springs. Each patient lies in front Of
two little windows which may be open
ed at will. Each bed is provided with a
movable table, and a net serves to hold
all the various small articles the patient
may need. The corridor leads to the
linen closet and the DOCTORS apartment,
the latter having a large closet, of which
the upper portion is for drugs and the
lower for surgical instruments.
The car will be put i'll charge of a
surgeon, doctor and nurses and will be
chiefly used to carry invalids from Bel
GUM direct to the alleged miraculous
cure of Lourdes, in France.
The feasibility OF introducing such
cars on American railroads does not
seem to the consul to admit of question
If run, for instance, during the winter
season between any Of the great north
ern cities and well known southern re-
sorts, he thinks they would be well pat
ronized. -Philadelp Ledger.

How He Clinched His appointment as
United states Marshal.
lone Of General Shelby s saving traits
was his ability to say exactly the right
thing 60 the right man in the right
place. A heavy fight was made on him
when he was a candidate for the mar
shalship His opponents had told Presi,
dent Cleveland that Shelby had been
concerned in the assassination Of the Of
ficers of Cass county who had issued
some railway bonds against the wishes
of the people. Shelby prepared himself
with affidavits from leading citizens and
went to Washington. Disdaining assist
ance, he obtained a personal interview
with Mr.. Cleveland. Whom he entered
the executive Office, Representative
Dockery, the banker at Gallatin, one of
his bitterest opponents, was present.
[ have been accused of assassina-
ton, Mr.. President, said General Shell
by, and have been informed that the
appointment to the United States mar
shalship for the western district of Mis-
souri, hinges upon that charge In JUS
tice to Democrat l want you to exam
inc these papers at your leisure.
You have been correctly informed,
General Shelby, said the president.
That charge has been made. I will look
at your papers.
Congressman Dockery INTERCEPTED a
remark. I will bid you good morning,
Mr.. President, said the general There
is nothing that manipulating to Dock
ery-'can say to me in this office or i'll
your presence. There are many places
in which he can meet me if he desires. ,
''There was a distinct challenge in
his manner and glance but it never
came to anything Within an hour Mr..
Cleveland caused General Shelby to be
informed that he would be given the
appointment. The entire business was
settled in less than half day. 1t was
the guiding principle of General Shell
by's life to go straight for anything that
he wanted and straight against anything
that he didn't like. Detroit Free

R0W ne MIKES MONEY.

! The Quitman Free Press puts down
Colonel f. j. Young as one of the most
successful farmers in the state. Tues
day he hurried to town and sold
1926 pounds of bacon as a part of
the seasons crop, 1t is itemized as
follows: 6,932 pounds of sides,
which netted him $3Sl.26; 1865
pounds of hams, which Melted
him $2S5.07; 1928 pounds of shoulder,
which netted him $146.15, and LOO
pounds of lard, which netted him
$94.46. From the entire lot he receiv-
ed the neat sum of 1907 "a. And this
is not all that Colonel Young raised
last season. He sold several car loads
of fine porkers on their feet short
time ago to Macon and Jacksonville
packers. TO thoroughly appreciate
these things one needs to understand
something of the size of Colonel
YOung's farm, and that he does not de-
vote all of his time to hog raising.
He runs a four horse farm and plants
heavily of all the products grown on a
Georgia farm. Every crop he raises
yields him good profit, and he always
sells quantities of corn and oats. He
has solved the question of hard times,
The Philadelphia Press New York
correspondent says that Mr.. Hanson of
Macon has been giving republicans of
New York a good deal of encourage
ment in respect to Georgia. He says
that while in New York recently Mr..
Hanson declared it to be his firm con-
victiOn that it is possible to take Geor-
gia away from the ''Bourbon Demo-
cratic Association. 1t is Mr.. Han
sons belief that under Mr.. McKinley's
administration Georgia will follow Ma
ryland and West Virginia into the re-
publican party. Mr.. Hanson is very
hopeful, but majority of the republi-
can party will be in sheol long while
before these hopes are realized, thinks
