The Protection of the President.

There is one matter which ought to

the States In which murder is not pun

There is no State in the Union in which

Mistaken Ph1Ianthropy.

This is a time of year when almost
everybody is likely to have a cold. and
the persons who are not thus afflicted
are around giving advice There never
was a time, in all probability. when
the man who knows just how to cure a
cold did not exist The unfortunate in
dividual who has one is assaiIed with
new remedy every hour. He does
not take them all. because he knows
that whereas now he is merely i'll, if
he did all that people are telling him
to do he would be dead: and he has a
lingering prejudice in favor of life. or
at any rate, of his own method Of com
uniting suicide. There are easier roads
off this mortal stage than that of be
ing dosed to death.
The only really sure way to cure a
cold is not to have one, and that is a
piece of information which is needed
by nobody. It is thought by some scien-
lists that this aiIment is a remnant of
original sin left to torment mankind
and remind everybody that there is a
better world The most brilliant tri-
Umph of ambition, the sweetest trans

over. that ones nearest and dearest are
most prone TO fall into the error of Civ

mystery OF original sin.
But there is a way to revenge ones
