Some years ago Justice OF the Peace
Beasley OF Missouri was personally in
serested in a lawsuit, being party
thereto. Ii was necessary for him to
make an affidavit. and he deprecated
the idea of making il before another
Justice or "A notary and depriving him
self of "A fee. So he filed out his affi-
davit, swore 10 it before himself, sign
ed it as justicv and as witness and
awaited developments. He was sure
that he would win and thus be able to
tax the costs up TO the other side.
When the case came up before Judge
Kelley, the affidavit was offered In evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that justice could
not swear himself.
"Let me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
1t was handed up to the judge, who
scanned it carefully for few mo-
ments and then asked:
"Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identified
your own signatureW
"That was very easy, your honor"
replied Beasley. II borrowed a look
ing glass and went through the formali-
ties before it,"
Beasley was somewhat astonished
when Judge Kelley sustained the OBJ
jection.-Omaha World Herald.

An Awful Mishap.

Two passengers on an Atlantic liner
one an American and the other an Eng
lishman did not exchange the farewell
courtesies when the steamer reached
her pier usual between voyagers who
have occupied adjoining staterooms
and hobnobbed during an ocean voy-
age. A plausible explanation was
vouchsafed by the American.
During the voyage the Englishman
persisted in fraternZing with the
American in most obtrusive and an
noying manner Within two days Of
Boston the Englishman one morning
hunted up the American and found him
in apparent dependency, gazing sea-
ward from the hurricane deck.

along for some time until he found
everybody guying him.-Boston Post.

The Kalamazoo Telegraph very truly
says: While it is dangerous for any
state to make unjust war upon corpora
tions, especially railroads, it is equally
dangerous to ali, for corporations to
gain the upper hands and control legis-
latures, the safeguards of the people
And it is all the more dangerous to
allow corporate influence TO dictate in
matters Of state taxation, so vital TO
the interests of thousands of farmers
and small property owners and bust
ness men with comparatively small
capital. 1t is conceded on all sides,
that the agitation of this tax question
has brought to public notice much in
equality and injustice. The remedies
proposed may have been imperfect but
1T will not do for us to bury our heads
In the sand and tell ourselves that

honest and considerations legislature,

The annual election of city officers is
only six weeks from next Monday, but
If it is being given much thought by
our citizens, they have refrained from
giving them publicity, so far as the
BANNER has been able to ascertain at
least. This is a matter which all
should be deeply interested in and
needs to be carefully considered. The
prosperity and growth of the city de.
ponds to quite large degree upon the
officials who control its public affairs.
We trust that when the party caucuses
are held and nominations made, that
they will be such as to inspire in the
minds of all confidence that the city
business will be wisely conducted.
The BANNER understands that Mayor
Spencer does not wish to again be a
candidate. AS to the wishes OF other
officials we are not informed. The
BANNER has no slate to present but
hopes that the men who shall be hon
ored will be we'll qualified for the posi-
tlons. Our city enjoys very good
reputation near and far for its progress
siveness and we want TO maintain it.

When was about five years old my
father used to smoke great deal. He
saw that this was running his health.
He made up his mind that every time
he would go to buy cigar he would
keep that money and put 1t in my bank
and in short time he had broken him
self and he was healthier man and
my bank was richer.

A lawyer of Los Angeles made at one
time thirty-eight thousand dollars,
more than three times as much as some
men save up in a lifetime, but he got
to drinking and got so poor that he

many years began TO turn blue in the

long his life little and after many
attempts silver tube was inserted in
his stomach and he was fed liquid food
through this tube, and after having
been kept alive in this manner for two
years the cancer spread and went to-
ward his windpipe and about two
weeks later he died of suffocation.

About two years and half ago my
father smoked great deal, and from
doing so he got cold sweats at night,
but he did not know what the cause
was.
was in Miss Cutters class, and as
we were studying physiology | found
out the whole cause of my fathers all
ment. 1t was smoking and nothing
else. told him what we had studied,
and he made me promise that il
would stop eating so much butter and
would never smoke, he would quit
smoking. About three months after
he had quit smoking entirely, and he
has not had cold sweats near as much
as he had. The result of this lesson
was TO help save my fathers life, and
perhaps it will do the same TO more
than one other.

The other day there was an item in
the ST. Paul Dispatch about man who
WAS an habitual drinker. He drank
more than he ought to and got drunk.
The alcohol excited his brain so that
he tried to shoot his wife and then shot
himself.
Liquor often brings sickness. A con-
slant user who gets drunk every little
while gets dropsy, because the liquor
fattens the inside of the body. The fat
grows around the heart and stops it
suddenly. This is dropsy.

Tobacco when chewed makes the
teeth brown and makes the breath
smell bad. This chewing hurts the
salivary glands and wastes the saliva.
Tobacco is hurtful to the teeth. |

teeth growing on the side they chew it.
1t inflames the stomach SO that it can't
digest food.
