Crotchety CranKs.

In the traditional slew-coach age the
crank was rarity. We had maniacs in
painful plenty, as we have now, but we
had few monomaniacs. To-day, says
writer in Lippincott's, some meetsa crank
at every turn. Every movement that
stirs the populace brings into being
swarm of whims and crotchets and
crotchety people. And we have these
crotchety people in every grade of life.
We have always looked for trifing lido
syncrasies in men of mind, but nova
days we want to know concerning every
big-brained man we meet what partic-
ular subject he is crazy about. The
pimples which rather emphasized the
symmetry of man in the past have
grown to be great ugly boils. Run
your pencil down the list of the best
minds of America to-day, and marb
those who, wise in all things else, have
shown themselves fools over some ques-
ton of the day; the names that remain
may be counted on ones fingers. The
effect upon the development of charac.
| ter is almost as noticeable when one
runs over the list of leaders in great
movements who have been known for
moral excellence. Here is an eminent
leader who, since he got it into his head
that his reform movement is all there
is of life, has not only ceased to pay his
debts, but has actually ceased to regard
debt-paying as matter of any i'm.
portance. And yonder is man known
wherever the English language j;
spoken, who, since he became engrossed
in particular line of Christian work
has forgotten the ordinary manners Of
a Christian and grown as unapproach
able as bear. A man cannot lose hi.
sense of proportion without eventually
losing his balance of character.

The "razor-back" hog was the chief
issue in the recent municipal election
in Marion, and the hog was triumphant,
says the Richmond IN. CO. Leader. Mr..
w. B. Ratliff, hog" was elected mayor
over j. A. Mcdonald, "anti-hog," by 80
majority. Some time ago Mayor Nc
Donald's board of aldermen passed an
ordinance excluding hogs and hogpens
from the town. The friends of the hog
rallied and put him out, and elected
their full ticket, and the hog is once
more supreme in Marion, and his
friends are jubilant.

Writing to the New York Ti-res in
defense of dogs Perth Amboy man
says: mo animal has been so UNDER
estimated as the dog. He thinks. He
reasons. He drinks no rum. He is
faithful, and will fight for his friends
till the last drop of blood GIBBS away.
1t may be the blue blood of dog
with pedigree or the good, strong, red
blood of the yellow dog, but he will
die for you, and wag his tail as his heart
stops beating if he thinks he has
pleased YOU"

A progressive secretary is the newest
occupation for women. There are many
women unable to reply to their volum-
inous correspondence, social notes,
business letters pertaining to various
charities, etc., for want of time, and, in
some cases, ability in that particular
line. Moreover, it gives certain pres
tige to only sign their letters. The
secretary goes from house to house !,
and if she is quick and clever her ac-
complishments reward her industry &C.
cordingly.

Two Lewiston (Me.) young men who
recently met violent death were
bound together as closely as is possible
without being of blood relation. They
were almost twins, for they were born
on the same day, baptized on the same
day, took their first communion on the
same day, were confirmed on the same
day, married on the same day and died
on the same day in the same way.

A Henry county (Kan.) steer fell re-
Gently and broke his leg. Instead of
killing the animal the owner called in
veterinary surgeon and had the
steers leg amputated. The animal
rapidly recovered, and hobbled around
on three legs, taking on flesh as fast
ms any of the other steers in the lot.
The animal was sold the other day
to Clinton butcher.

The United States regular army has
been recruited to very nearly its maxi
mum of $4,000 men. There are 2,972
regulars in Porto Rico; 14,s6S in Cuba;
and about $4,000 either in the Philip
pines or under orders to go there. This
leaves about $4,000 regulars at home,
to man the forts and military posts.
These $4,000 comprise four regiments of
artillery required for coast defense,
four regiments of cavalry, and three
regiments OF infantry, besides the
signal, hospital and other staff corps.
The president is empowered to enlist
an auxiliary force of $4,000 volunteers,
if in his judgment they shall he

During the debate in the Texas legis-

of $4,000 for the state university many

more baseball and football training
than anything else"

1t is mighty curious how some peo-
pie like to tell their troubles to the
newspapers. In Ellis, reports the Kan
sas City (Mo.) Journal, one John Gal
Ion advertised the fact that his wife
Mary, had left his bed and board, and
that he would not be responsible for
debts of her contracting. The wife at
once rushed into print with a notice
that John had driven her away, and
that she wanted the public to under
stand that she would not be responsible
for debts of his contracting. To this
John replied in another notice, in which
he said: II want the public to under
stand that did not drive her away. My
house is still open for her. But won t
pay any of her debts" These notices
appear all in row in the same paper.
and neither of the parties has made any
debts for the other to pay.

1t is remarkable fact that few of the
officers who have distinguished them
selves in the United States army were
honor graduates at West Point. Grant,
Sherman and Sheridan were noted for
stupidity; the dozens of bright" young
men who eclipsed them in their studies
at the academy served out the wars as
mere lieutenants, or as colonies at the
most. 1t develops that Col. Fred Funs-
ton, whose name is now on the lips of
every one, was no exception to the rule.
1t is not that he actually reached West
Point, although there is no doubt that
If he had had the good fortune he
would have distinguished himself in
some way or other, with the chances
that the authorities would not have
rejoiced in his celebrity. 1t is to the
fact that he was miserably beaten in
a competitive examination for cadet.

DIED..

On Wednesday morning, July 10th,
occurred the death of Mrs. Anna M Gu
lick (nee Parks at her home in West
Side.
Mrs. Gulick was born in Glen, New
York, in September, 1908, and was thus
in her ninety-second year She was
married to Mr.. VIM. Gulick in 1928,
and was the mother of seven children,
four of whom are now living. Mr.. Eu-
gene Gulick, of this city, is her grand
son and she lived to see a great great
grandson
The great panorama of American his
tory was unrolled before her eyes, and
she not only existed during it all, but
was an active, interested spectator and
participant in it all. She sent her son
to fight for his country in the civil war
and lived to see the Stars and Stripes
float in both hemispheres
Her home for years before her death
was in that Louisiana territory, pur-
chased an unknown wilderness but a
few years before her birth. Surely
Providence bestowed special blessing
upon this good christian woman
Trials, hardships ann sorrows must
have been known, but there were MANY
joys in her life, not the least of which
was to see her children and her child
ren's children grow to noble and re-
spected maturity.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Richards of the Methodist
church of West Side, and her remains
were laid to rest in the cemetery at
that place. The many beautiful floral
offerings attested the love and esteem
in which she was held by all. Her life
was an inspiration to all and a noble
example of all that is good in American
wonlanhood.
