White Man Turned Yellow

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the

KY, when they saw he was turning yell

also his eyes, and he suffered terribly
His malady was yellow jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful

United States for leaving its continental
shores to preserve peace and protect life
and property in the islands of the Pa
citio. which the fortunes and rcspon-
sibiities of war have placed in our
hands. are the same men who with equal
noise demand that the United States
shall leave its continental shores to
meddle in a war in far South Africa
and gratuitously insult a friendly power
by taking sides with it's opponents.
They denounce tho United States for
attending to its own business in the
Philippines, and they demand tEat tho
United States shall stick its nose and
its mouth into what is none of its bust
ness in South Africa. They denounee
the United States for preventing the
Philippines from falling into the hands
of irresponsible assassins and sayages
obiecting that the Philippines are on
the other side of the world. and they de-
mand that we shall 60 to the other side
of the world to obtrude ourselves into
a quarrel between foreign belligerents
and insolently affront our best friend
in the family of nations. Truly, these
men have fit spokesman in the shall

The neighbors OF a certain welI-known
Memphis Irish family say that the good
housewife and her lord never know what
domestic discord is except when the old man
goes home slightly in his cups. Then there
is trouble, and plenty of it, for the old lady
is fire and tow and she says she has con-
sstently tried for score of years to get
"Moike to quit it." The storms, according
to .he story, have grown less violent of late
years, and for that matter the tipsy periods
of "Moike" are not of such frequent recur-
renee as formerly. Not long ago, so the
well tanked, and his wife met him.

Holiday and holy day are essentially
one and the same word, yet they have
come to mean almost exactly opposite
things. Those who celebrate a holiday
shun the solemnity of a holy day, while
those who worship on a holy day, to wit,

ing it turned into holiday. So great is

things to which they are applied.

children says he has discovered why the
majority of people are right-handed.
Infants use both hands until they be-

and the first right-handed motions arc
expressive motions, tending to help out
speech. As speech grows, so grows
right-handedness.
