FOIBLES OF GREAT MEN.
NapOIeOn's FOndness For White Trousers
A Famous Jurists Weakness.


The weakness of a great man is often
that feature which contains the most i'm
terest for the student of human nature If
may be OF interest to know that Napoleon
set aside 81, 900 year for dress Jnfor-
tunateIy he had weakness for white
breeches, and often while wholly absorbed
IN state affairs he would spill ink or coffee
on those delicate trousers, which he would
hasten to change upon discovering TIC
spots. This circumstance cost the blame
less but tlnid COmte de Remusat his place
as master of the robes The emperor
spoiled his clothes so frequently that the
imperial tailor was constantly receiving
fresh orders, and $4,000 became INSULT
Gent to meet the bills. The master of
robes was foOlishly afraid to mention the
subject to Napoleon and continued to give
unsatisfactory replies to the insistent tai
lOr, who became pressing in his demands
At length, becoming exasperated, the tai
lor took the bold step of complaining tic
Napoleon, who learned with astonshment
and anger that he owed his tailor SIS, OOO
He paid the bill and at the same time dis
missed the frightened Comte de Remusat
Il hope, " said the emperor, smiling and
browning at the same time at his newly
appointed master of robes, THAT you viii

HOT TALK Is THIS.
North Georgia Editor Is After Commits,
siOner NeAbitt.

sioner Nesbitt
The Blair sville Herald, published in
Union county, gets after Commission
er Nesbitt of the agricultural DEPART
ment in the following lively manner:
Colonel Nesbitt, commissioner of
agriculture, has taken exceptions to
our remarks on long terms of office.
His letter explaining his position
does not explain. Two wrongs never
make right He says Colonel Hen
dersOn theld the office thirteen wears.
Does this fact entitle him to life
term? We still maintain that long
terms in Office breed corruption and
the people have made up their minds
for a change.
"Mr. Nesbitt says: 81 am little sur
prlsed that you should support Mr..
Stevens against candidate from north
Georgia" This is simple demagogy.
Our democracy is broad enough to
take in every section of the state. The
locality of the candidate does not fig
ure in it. The question is: is he a
democrat and competent?
Fright here we would ask Colonel
Nesbitt a question. Why is it neces-
sary for you to send your inspectors
of fertilizers to Rabun county if north
Georgia cannot afford to vote for a
south Georgia democrat? Mr.. sum
merour, we are informed, holds the
position of inspector of fertilizer I'M
der you. This inspector has been
camping in Rabun county looking af-
ter Mr.. Nesbitt's campaign. This is
an insult to and reflection upon the
Intelligence of our citizenship, and
should be rebuked. Has 1T reached
the conclusion in the minds of the Of
fice-holders that they have only to
send a few appOintees to the back
woods of the mountains to tell our
people how to vote? Nay, Pauline,
nay. Who paid Summerour's expens-
es?
"COlonel Nesbitt seems to want to
hold office as long as Dan Mathis lived
in Union county. Captain Butt once
said that Uncle Dan had lived here
since NOtla river was a branch, and
desires to hold on until Blue Ridge
mountains become vast praire.''

An OdditY.

The deputy collector of customs at
the port Of Pltneyville, N. Y, has re-
signed. He writes tC the department at
Washington thai "there is about as
much use for collector Of customs at
Putneyvllle as there would be for one
on trout stream in the Adirondack
mountains" The total collections at the
port" for the past four years, says the
resigning deputy, amounted to probably
$3.50, while bis salary for the same time
amounted to $3.50. An oddity in con-
nection with the matter is that it took
the deputy four years, and until about
the expiration of his term, to discover
that his Office was useless to the govern
ment.

A PRACTICAL JOKE.
Ono You Would Better Try on a Smaller
Man Than Yourself.

One You Would Better Try on Smaller
Man Than Yourself
Most people think themselves very clever
if they are able to devise some catch or
practical joke, but the individual who in
vented the latest trick which is catching
on is certainly entitled to regard himself
as a genius in his way. This is how you
proceed:
Ask a friend the time, and when he
takes out his watch say:
"That seems a nice little ticker Let's
have a look at it.
With an air of pride he takes it off his
chain and hands it to you. Just as you
are about to examine it, it slips out of
your hand and smashes on the floor. The
glass breaks, the case comes off and the
works part company.
You are awfully upset about it, you are,
really, and so staggered that you can do
nothing but put your hands helplessly into
your jacket pockets and stammer your
apologies. But you soon recover yourself,
and, STOPPING down, you scoop up the
pieces with your two hands and offer them
to your friend. You might just smile
gently. 1t rather improves the flavor of
the joke.
You are able at this point to sample your
friends language and to get him to give
an exhibition of all his angelic qualities.
Very likely he will take the opportunity of
telling you what his true opinion of you
has been all along. When you have heard
enough, you take his watch out of your
jacket pocket and give it to him safe and
sound.
For, of course, you haven't really drop
ped his watch, but a broken one which
you happen to he in possession of, and
which serves on more than one occasion.
1t requires a little sleight of hand, but
your victim, who suspects nothing, is
easily deceived.
If this joke doesn't become popular, it
will be because very few people have silver
watches to play with. But there is dan
ger, as was illustrated in the case of jok-
list who tried this on very hot tempered
man and got such a 'pasting" before he
could explain the true state of affairs that
he had to keep in bed for a week, where he
passed his time in trying to think out who
had the best of the joke Pearson Is Week

Some OF her neighbors ran to her assist

away with sticks and stones. He fought

If he was so badly injured during the
