A New Prohibition.

A novel plan for elevating Georgia
morals has been formulated by we'll
known citizen of Atlanta. He pro-
poses that each county shall decide
by vote on January of each year
who the worst man in the county is,
and that the man receiving the high
est number of votes shall, on the en-
suing February l, be hanged. 1t is
claimed for the plan that it would in
duce bad men to emigrate, and that
the Complementary vote" received
by those who had just begun to be
bad, but were not generally recog-
nized as such, would tend to create a
desire within them to be enrolled
among the ws II behaved.-Ex.

BY Farmer Votes.

The London Spectator says "You
can not rid the average american
farmer of the idea that when silver
and paper money are plenty times
will be good" The average Ameri-
can farmer deserves better repu-
tatlon than this. He showed in the
recent election that he does not think
silver and paper money in album
dance necessarily make good times.
In that election he declared that
silver and paper currency need
bracing up, and that gold must be
used to do the bracing. The farmer
voted for the preservation of the
gold standard. 1t was the farmers
vote which saved the gold standard
from assault in the next House of
Representatives. If the farmers had
been faithless TO the cause of fnan-
clal sanity the republicans would
have been beaten in the election. In
the manufacturing and commercial
region the republicans lost ground.
They gained ground in the agricul-
tural districts. When the Spectator
digests the recent election returns
from the Western states it will have
a higher opinion of the American
farmer.-Devils Lake Inter-Ocean.

A Pessimistic View.

Nothing else could have been OK
pected than that young men would
be slow in enlisting in the regular
army-now that recruits are wanted
in view of the experiences of the vol
unteers in camp and hospital. Thus
the abuses resulting from unworthy
political appointments i, the volunteer
service tend directly to restrain that
practical expression of patriotism
that young man shows when he
gives himself to the military service
of his country.-Fargo Argus.

Two Not Always Company.


People who are shut off from contin.
ual contact with their kind are apt to
grow splenetic. Army officers who have
lived for long periods at one company
post on the frontier and the wives Of
these army officers may know something
about the difficulties Of small groups Of
human beings living together and low
ing one another.
Keepers Of lighthouses do not always
get along together, and If there are two
lighthouse keepers and two lighthouse
keepers wives the result is generally
monkey and a parrot time.
Light housekeeping in lighthouses BY
lighthouse keepers wives often leads to
heavy work with rolling pins.
Even husbands and wives have been
known to quarrel on the honeymoon
tour, not, because they did not love one
another, but because, being in foreign
countries, they were cut off from their
kind and were forced to rely entirely on
one another's society. 1t is one of the
weaknesses Of human nature Man ie
gregarious. When few individuals are
isolated, they nearly always quarrel.

The Queen Of spain's Busy Life.

Spain Is essentially lazy country
In all ranks the people rise late and
turn night into day; but the Queen Re-
gent-a tall, graceful woman, looking
younger than her years-sets them an
excellent example. Up at Z, her first
care is given to her children, and by 8
o'clock she is already at work with
her secretary. 1t is only after lunch,
toward 2 o'clock, that she allows her.
self an hour of well-earned rest. And
some idea of Queen Christmas thor
oughness may be gained by the fact
that she no longer speaks German
her native tongue-save to those few
Teutons who find their way to Madrid.
When she first came a bride from
Vienna to Spain she had mastered but
imperfectly the language. Now she
talks Spanish correctly, and has, alone
and unaided, acquired a real knowl-
edge of the splendid literature of her
adopted country. When speaking Of
her son she seldom refers to him as
Ibis majesty" or. '.".the kings" usually
it Is my boy" or my little one." She
makes no outward difference between
the three children, but 1t Is easy to see
that her heart is specially bound up ir

The Long Journey.

In certain township not many miles
from Cleveland the good man of a local
household was laid away in the little
churchyard on the hill. After the fu-
neral the relatives, both near and dis
taAt, returned to the family home, and
the officiating pastor came with them.
There they enjoyed good dinner and
afterward gathered in the best room for
social converse.
Naturally their talk turned upon the
serious eventpf the day, and presently
the good pastor, drawing deep sigh,
solemnly remarked:
"Well, our departed brother has gone
!, a long journey .
There was brief silence, and then a
cousin Of the deceased. a fussy little wo-
man with an intense desire to bear q
share in the conversation, suddenly re-
marked in tone Of profound wisdom:

all say thet travel is such an eddicator /"
