THE BLOODY SHIRTER AGAIN.

While not condoning the offenses OF
the Southern lynchers, the Register
cannot refrain from comparing the vir-
tuous indignation Of certain Northern
editors over these deplorable affairs
when they occur in the South with the
same editors comfortable apathy when
precisely the same sort of lynching is
done by white men in the Northern
States.
Is it fair to the South to be continu-
ally assailing and denouncing the
white people of that section for offenses
of which their white brethren of the
North are equally guilty whenever oc-
casiOn arises?
That there is not more lynching CT
negro criminals in the North is simply
because that section has no race prob
fem to deal nth such as has confronted
the South since the war. But, even So
whenever this race problem crops up
in individual cases in the North, it is
invariably found that the Northern
white man is quite as quick as his
Southern brother, if not quicker, to ap-
peal to summary justice in the court
of Judge Lynch. 1t is not sectional,
this race feeling, nor confined to the
South.
Those loose-tongued Northern edi-
tors, who, so far from feeling a proper
sympathy with the people of the South,
are ever meanly striving to make a
little miserable. bloody shirt political
capital out Of their necessities and ex-
tremities, are not aiding by their un-
fair criticism the solution of this ire
mendous race problem, which has so
long been the only drawback to the
prosperity of the Southern States.

Two Civil War Messages.

1t was a day or two after General
Fitzhugh retired that the telegraph
lines between Carlisle and Harrisburg
We're put in condition for service, and
the first two messages that passed
over them gave more than one officer
and civilian a laugh. The Harrisburg
operator was of the army variety and
not noted for choice diction or even
grammatical accuracy, but he could be
terse on occasion The Carlisle man,
civilian named Noble, probably knew
more of the rules of syntax. but he
was bit ffustered Here are the mes
sages-and in those days they were of
record, since receiving and sending by
sound was not In vogue:
Query-Has the rebels went?
Answer-They is.
After all there is merit in the inter
change. There was no room for doubt
as to what headquarters at Harris
burg wanted to know nor as to the
military condition at Carlisle. But
poor Noble, His friends nearly forced
him to resign by the methods known
as Josh. minneapolis Times.

Napoleon and the CobbIer.

On Napoleon's arrival at Marsha
Tours the mayor, a farmer, tried in
vain to make the speech he had pre-
pared. Bowing and scraping, he stood
fascinated by Bonaparte's scrutinizing
black eyes-an unhappy squirrel in the
gaze of the rattlesnake.
Close behind the trembling mayor
stood an old shoemaker in figure a
true Don QuiXote, clad in his working
dress. why don't you speak, you
fool?" he muttered from time to time
TO his leader. At last his patience gave
way. He pushed the mayor aside, ad
vanced, with his left hand removed
his greasy cotton nightcap, with his
right lifted the horn spectacles from
his nose, made his bow and delivered
the Grafton: Emperor, you are on
your way to thrash the Prussian
rogues once more. hope soon to see
you return crowned with glory. and
have nothing more TO say, but that
Caesar and Alexander were botches in
comparison with you"
The emperor laughed and inquired of
the old man whether he had any sons.
Yes; four were in the armyNtwo Of
these i'll the guards" Their names
We're taken down, and the honest shoe
maker soon saw them raised to the
rank of officers and found himself pro-
vided with a comfortable pension

A strange Marriage Custom

1t was an old idea that husband,
whose wife at her marriage was cloth
ed only in a sheet. or in the most ele-
mentary linen garment, was not in any
way liable for the debts previously
contracted by her. Our parish regis
ters and local traditions give us ample
illustrations of this quaint idea. At
Chiltern All Saints, Wiltshire, is the
following entry: John Bridmore and
Anne Selwood were married October
18th. 1114. the aforesaid Anne Selwood
was married in her smOck. without any
clothes or headgier on" Similar cases
occurred at Gorton Green in 1873, at
Ashton-under-Lyn in 1171, and at OF
ley in 1S0S.
The latest example of which the
present writer knows comes from Lin
colnshire. The register of Gedney has
this commonplace entry: dec. End,
1912. David Wilkinson, full age, bache-
lor, laborour, Of Gedney," to "Susan
Farran, full age, widow, of Gedney."
Local tradition supplements this brief
account by relating that the bride was
dressed in a sheet. stitched about her,
with holes cut for the passage Of her
bare arms-"Lore and Legend of the
English Church"

BOSSlSM AND BRUTALITY.

Hon. John P. Locke, who for a
quarter of a century has been one of
the pillars of the Republican party
in Madison county, but who, like
many of Independent fellow Repub-
icans, has been driven from the
party by Hanna's bossism, has just
been nominated by the Democrats
for Representative In his speech
accepting the nomination, Mr.. Locke
paid his compliments to Hanna as
follows:
under long continued Republican
rule, power has drifted from the
many to the few, to the very few,
and that few is Mark Hanna. Lead
ership is one thing. Bossism is
another. Leadership goes with
patriotism. Bossism is joined to
brutality. Bossism is joined with
the brutality and cruelty of wealth,

A Pathetic Portrait.

There is peculiar portrait In Wash
ingtOn which has created much inter-
est among those who know of its ex-
istence. Its peculiarity is that every
year it has been changed TO show the
changes which time would have made
In the original. The portrait is by a
Washington artist and is that of his
wife and was painted many years ago
when she was Il young bride. \ few
years after the portrait was painted
the young wife died. and so great was
the grief of the artist that he deter
mined to keep her likeness with him
all the time. and to do so he decided
that year by year he would change the
portrait SO as to make it grow old with
him.
Every year. on the anniversary of
his wedding day. the artist locked him
self in his studio and changed the lines
of the face of the portrait, adding what
he thought would make the difference
Of one year. There have been many
anniversaries Of that marriage day
and consequently many changes In the
portrait. Today the picture is that of
m old woman, the hair turned gray.

AKRON ELks
Returned Debt of Graft
tude With interest.
Cleveland Street Fair Does Not Equal
One Held In This CITY.

While those of the Akron Elks
who were at Cleveland Thursday are
congratulating themselves upon the
good time they had, and speaking
words of praise in reference to the
courteous treatment accorded them
by their hosts, yet, nevertheless
they came home with the feeling
that Akron's Elks' street fair was
far in advance of the one given in
the Forest City.
While the amusement attractions
may have been as good as were at
Akron, yet in general appointment
and accommodations the local event
was superior. This is but another
incident illustrative of the fact that
whatever is undertaken by Akron
people is bound to succeed-and sue
ceed well at that.
Between the Akron and Cleveland
Elks there is a very warm .fraternal
feeling, and the visit of the local
delegation at Cleveland, Thursday,
was payment of debt of gratitude.
1t was the Cleveland lodge that con-
Quoted the first lodge work of the
Akron Elks. Also, last year, large
delegation of Cleveland Elks visited
the Akron Elks' street fair, and each
member of the delegation spent in
the neighborhood of $40 upon the
various attractions.

Clean Barber Shops.

There is not the slightest doubt that
the average barber shop is a means Of
disseminating many affections which
little attention to asepsis could easily
prevent Many forms of alopecia are
due to parasitic organisms which are
probably acquired most frequently
through the unclean interyentions Of
the barber Some ready method of dis
injecting his tools of trade should be
devised and its use thoroughly en-
forced. The towels should invariably
be boiled after use, instead Of the per-
functory dampening and ironing which
is commonly employed. If such meas
ures were taken and insisted on, under
suitable penalty, trichophytosis and
kindred ailments would become rare
indeed and our dermatologists would
miss many of the most annoying and
persistent affections which they are
now compelled to treat.-International
Journal of Surgery.

Every one can tell cats tail from
a dogs. but it seems that the move
ments of each do not mean the same
thing. For instance, when a dog wags
his tail from side to side, that is held
to be sign of friendship and peace,
and it will usually be found, according
to DR.. W. Main, that this, the horizon
tai line, is the line of peace.
There is, however, one conspicuous
exception to this rule, for when tomcat
waves his tail in such fashion, so far
from its being an indication of his de-
sire for peace, the movement generally
precedes an attack. DR.. Main thinks
it possible that this seemingly peaceful
action of the tail when really about to
attack may have given rise 10 the
charge of treachery so freely made
against pussy.
