Bob TaylOr's Farewell.

Robert l.. Taylor, thrice governor Of
the State OF Tennessee, man much
in public life, has evidently discovered
the path of politics to be rough and
not entirely pleasant one. Read an
extract from his farewell speech
"While I believe that the good in
politics outweighs the bad, yet how
thorny is the path and how unhappy
the pilgrimage to him who dares to do
his duty? There are no flowers ex-
cept few bouquets snatched from the
graves of fallen foes; there is no hap
piness except the transient thrill of
cruel triumph, which passes like a
shadow across the heart.
Every honest man who runs for
office is candidate for trouble for
the fruits Of political victory turn to
ashes on the lips.
''To me there is nothing in this
world so pathetic as a candidate. He
is like mariner without compass.
drifting on the tempest-tossed waves
of uncertainty, between the smiling
cliffs Of hope and the frowning crags
of fear. He is walking petition and
a living prayer; he is the pack horse Of
public sentiment; he is the dromedary
of politics. And even if he reaches
the goal Of his ambition, he will soon
feel the beak of the vulture in his
heart and the fang of the serpent in
his soul.
II am no longer candidate. Never
again will l be inaugurated into public
office. The ark Of my humble public
career now rests on the Arrarat of pri-
vate life, and I stand on its peaceful
summit and look down on the receding
aood of politics. The dove of my des-
tiny has brought me an olive branch
from happier fields and I go thence to
labor and to love.
And he anticipates that Benton Nc
Millin, his successor, is going to find
thorns among the roses in the guber-
Material career, for he says:
II now have the distinguished honor
to close the scene, SO far as l am con-
cerned. Benton McNlillin has given
his heart and hand to Tennessee. I
now pronounce them husband and
wife-and may the Lord have mercy
on their souls.

Pants.

y boy in the Wichita schools, Cali
fornia, was suspended for reading the
following essay on pants
Pants are made for men, and not
men for pants. Women are made for
men, and not pants When a man
pants for woman and a woman pants
for man, they are pair Of pants. Such
pants don't last. Pants are like mo-
lasses-they are thinner in hot wealth
er and thicker in cold. The man in
the moon changes his pants during an
eclipse. Don't go to the pantry for
pants-you may be mistaken. Men
are often mistaken in pants. Such
mistakes make breaches of promise.
There has been much discussion as to
whether "pants'' we're singular or
plural. Seems to me when men wear
pants they are plural, and when they
don't wear any they are singular. Men
get on tear in their pants, and it is
all right but when the pants get on
a tear it is all wrong.-,Sms Francisco
Gall.

A Purely Vegetable Blood
Remedy is the Only
Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. The fact is,
rheumatism is q disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires q real
blood drcmedy-something more than
q mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.

Curious Birth Statistics.

At the next meeting Of the Society
for Psychical Research one of the
interesting subjects that probably will
come up for discussion, according to
the New York Press, will be the re-
markablc increase in the number of
births Of boys over girls which the
vital statistics of New York show in
the month Of November and up to the
present time this month. 1t will have
direct bearing on the theory Of pre-
natal influence in this regulation Of
sex, as advanced by Dr. Schenck, and
which has been supported and COM
bated by eminent Psychologists
throughout the world.
By those who endorse the Schenck
theory it is maintained that the in
crease in the ratio cannot be simply a
coincidence, confined to one particular
section, because similar ratio of in
crease of births of males over females
is shown in the statistics of nearly all
the large cities, and it is offered as a
proof that in the grand compensation
of nature the martial spirit aroused by
the war with Spain is responsible for
the production of material for future
soldiers.
Boston, Philadelphia. St. Louis,
San Francisco and Chicago all present
the same proportionatc increase as
New York.
"And it is natural that it should be
so, said physiologist. \ thous-
and years before DR.. Schenck was
born it was observed that after wars
the male births exceeded the female
in the ratio of 100 to 10 and 100 to 50.
In the .Alexandrian wars this fact was
noted and commented upon by the
philosophers Of the day. and the re-
verse was true in the decline of the
Roman Empire, when the people fell
into slothful habits and enervating
luxuries. The number of girls i'll
creased and the boys were not robust.
'All peoples who maintained their
martial vigor, after losing many men
in armed conflict, as the Macedonians
did. lived to see the male population
brought up ncarl,- to the standard that
it had before the natural protectors
were slain. The martial spirit that
develops into activity the destructive
ness of man and arouses the latent
hcroism and sclf-sacrifce of women
has unqucstionably an influence on
the future race and the division Of
the sexes.
"a people long given to the pur-
suits Of peace and reaching a plane of
civilization that renders them clfete
become she mothers and fathers of
girls. The nearer that man reaches
the primcval condition of maintaining
life by force Of arms the greater the
number of male children that are born.
The early american Indian demon
stratcd this in the extraordinary dis
proportion of the sexes, the male pre-
dominating in all the warlikc tribes. y

So Charles Dudley Wants the
Flume Company to Pay.
SUES TO GET THE MONEY
Odd Action Commenced in the District
Court Against the Willow Creek
Flume Company by
Land Owner.

Thirty-eight hundred dollars is the
amount of damage Charles Dudley esti-
mates an alleged defective fume has
done to his property. He claims the
f1ume, which runs across his property
and he sets forth that it runs there
without any permission from him-was
allowed to become blocked and thus to
overflow it's moisture on his farm be-
low, making 80 acres ns It look like 80
cents
According to the ste,y told by Mr..
Dudley, his farm reads irrigation, but
not to such an extent as given by the
f1ume. He says the fumes overflow

action have been ;,lmos. as powerful as
those which succ eeded the glacial per-
iod. They have scanned and cut his
land into gullies and canyons like unto
the canyon of the Colorado, ana have
washed therefrom several crops.
Mr.. Dudley tells his troubles with the
fiume in a complaint containing three
separate causes of action which he has
filed in the district court. His farm,
which he has owned since 1886, consists
of the northeast quarter of section 80
and the northwest quarter of section
o. township 4, north range 10 west.
When he acquired the land he duly
filed a claim to 300 inches of the flow
of Willow creek. tapping the creek three
miles up stream and transporting the
water by flume for irrigating purposes.
In 1896 he says the defendant corpora
ton, the Willow Creek Fluming COM
pany, constructed a flume for water
and wood, starting it in the mountains
where the stream has it's source. This
fiume, he says, has been neglected and
allowed to overflow and, passing on his
land, has ruined 30 acres. For this
damage he wants $40 an acre. or $500.
The f1ume has also, he declares. shut
off his supply Of irrigating water and
has thus prevented making a crop for
several years. damaging him i'm the sum
of $4,000. Other damages he estimates
at $1,000. All of which he asks the
court to have paid him by the defend
