WANT BACK MONEY.
Coal Oil Inspectors to Test Constitu.
tionality of Law of 1899.

Memphis, Tenn. Sept. 81. Suit in
volving the State of Tennessee TO the
amount of over 5000, 900 will be filed
in Gibson County Monday by State
Revenue Agent Greer The immedi-
ate suit only seeks to recover small
amount, but the finding of the court
will affect one of the most important
revenue laws passed by the General
Assembly of 1899. The law at issue is
that which places local oil inspectors
on salary, and the object of the liti
CATION is to have the Supreme Court
pass upon the constitutionality of the
measure
The style of the suit is the State of
Tennessee against J. A. Collinsworth,
of Humboldt The bill seeks to recover
small amount due the State in fees
collected by the defendant, and which
he has failed to turn over to the State
Treasurer The supposition here is
that the suit is really a test case and
that the coal oil inspectors of other
and larger cities are behind Collins
worth.

SIX TIMES AROUND THE EARTH
What the Pages of Modern Maya
zine Would do if Spread in Line.

While the general public is vaguely
aware that enormous quantities of
material are used in the making of
the modern magazine, comparatively
few persons have any idea of the vast
amount required. If the paper used
in the last twelve issues of The Ladies
Home Journal, for instance, were in
one gigantic strip a foot wide, it
would go nearly six times around the
earth at the equator, or almost forty
three times from New York to San
Francisco. In other words, such a
strip would be more than 14O, 600 miles
long If the copies of single edition
of the Journal were piled one on top
of another, they would tower to a
height of nearly two miles, almost two
thousand feet more than the average
height of the Alps. or half as high
again as Mount Washington. To
print the Journal on this huge mass of
paper takes almost 5000 gallons of ink
every year.

THE LITTLE O SEs ARE HIS.

Frank L. Stanton.l
A little hand that-softly stole
Into my own that day,
When l needed the touch that | loved
so much
To strengthen me ON the way.
Softer it seemed than the softest down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
Butt timid press and its faint caress
We're strong in the strength of love.
1t seemed to say in a strange, sweet
way,
81 love you and understand.
And Gained my fears as my hot heart
tears
Fell over that little hand
Perhaps there are tenderer, sweeter
things
Somewhere in the sun-bright land;
But thank the Lord for his blessings
And the clasp of little hand.

husband and Wife.

Mr. Bryan, in his paper, the Com
moner, says:
lone of the many striking and
touching incidents occurring at Buffalo
was the meeting bet ween the President
and Mrs. Mckinley for the first time
after the assault. The dispatches re-
port that Mrs Mckinley took seat at
the bedside and held the President S
hand. The distinguished sufferer
looked into the face of his good wife
and said in low tone, We must bear
up; it will be better for us both.
With tears streaming down her cheeks,
Mrs. Mckinley nodded assent.
There is depth of pathos in this
little incident that must appeal force
fully to those VINO appreciate the
strength of the ties that bind a good
husband to good wife.
"There may be some people who
have no idea of the thoughts that were
passing through the minds of this
couple at that moment. There are,
however. may otaels WAC ca i'm

strong, powerful man. By his side sat
the frail woman, whose physical weak
ness has been. for SO many years, the
subject of this husband s tender solicit
tude. In an humble way they began
life together Two little graves had
for them a common interest. In
prosperity and in adversely they had
stood together, participating equally in
the joys and sharing equally in the
sorrows of life The wife had shared
in the great honors that had come to
her husband and now, when the very
summit of political ambition had been
reached and political honors had be-
come so common that the conveniences
of quiet domestic life were longed
for by the woman in order, as she Of
ten expressed If, that she might have
her husband to herself, the bullet of an
threatened to blast the highest ambi-
ton of this woman's life.
" We must bear up, said the
President; 1T will be better for us
both 1t matters not to what extent
other women and men may have
grieved: it matters not how many
tears other men and women may have
shed and how much other hearts may
have ached All of this grief and woe
could n have been so acute as was
the grief and woe which this man and
woman suppressed in compliance with
the suggestion, it will be better for
us both.
"There is nothing in all the world
more beautiful than happy marriage.
There is in all this world nothing
more inspiring, nothing more encour
aging than the devotion and love that
abounds between thousands of men and
women devotion and love which were
exemplihed in the relations that existed
between the late President and his
wife. -

Now the hay fevcrte,
A lamcntable sight,

lie must bear them all .ay;
Through the nj sit they will stay.
And he knows not how many tomorrows.
His proboscis is red;
Ger his face there is spread
sad look that betrays melancholy;
He's picture of grief
And arouses belief
That he never again can be jolly.
There are tears in his eyes
That hut more emphasize
The affection with which he's contending,
And his harsh, husky tones,
And his hall suppressed means
Make impression that's almost heartrcnding
There is often a sneeze,
And there's often "A wheeze
As he stcrs for brief conversations;
Oft lie heaycs Geep sigh
As he wipes from each eye
Tears in time to prevent percolatiou.
He has trouble to burn,
But advice he vii spurn,
For he says he's tried everything going;
There is nothing to do
But to worry it through
And keep up pretense Of brave showing.

For the hay feverite
Has enough for himself and his neighbors
So here's hoping relief
Soon will terminate grief

A F0RGIvING SPIRIT.
Words Uttered by President McKin

Canton, Ohio, Sept 2O-Secret Ser
vice Officer George Foster, the late
Presidents bOdyguard, told, as he wit
messed the casket being lifted from the
funeral car, of an utterance of the
wounded statesman hitherto unpub-
lished that gives clearer insight into
his forgiying spirit. AS he was being
coneved to the hospital in the ambu-
lance he said: ''This is too bad,
George. +" It's what have been ex-
pecting for three days, Mr.. President,
as told you, was the answer.
Mr.. Mckinley remained quiet mo-
ment, and then said: The poor fell
low did not know what ne was doing. "
