THE PHILOSOPHY OF FADs.

Fads are such trivial things we
naturally underestimate their in.
auenco
As Iads are essentially American
aud the locality where they thrive
best seems to be the United States,
we have not seen ourselves as
others see US, and therefore have
not philosophical and speculated
upon the national tendency to
erraticalness. Fads grow out Of
commercial enterprise. "The
latest thing" is the magic phrase
which starts them.
The inventive genius back Of
the world OF commerce is worthy
feast or fast day in the almanac,
aud is as truly worshiped as were
some of the NEUROLOGICAL gods Of
the Egyptians. Fads are also he
natural ouigrowth Of restless, en-.
terprising, experimenting, nervous
race, a race which loves things
novel and exciting. Hence, we
have fads, fads harmful aud harm.
less, iads in dress, fads in speech,
iads in needle work and architec-
ture, fads in social customs, edu.
cation, politics and religion.
Other countries have fixed Gus.
toms and costumes. They have
distinctive sly. In architecture
and wooven materials. The Chi
nese, Egyptians, Turks, japanese,
Scotch and others have dressed in
their own respective styles and
held their same distinct religions
for hundreds of years, some of
them for thousands of years.
Think of itl America could
never endure such monotony.
Faddism is expensive to the in
di ividual but benefits commerce.
Our women have from time TO
time, doomed to inactivity set
after set of their own muscles, and
have sometimes condemned to Sc
we're restrictions sets of bones az
well. Is this not admirable devo
iion to the gods OF fads2
There have been marvellous
transformations from brunettes to
blonds, and from blonds to bru.
nettes. There have been tapering
toes, elongated necks and mould
ings irom the Grecian bend to the
Marie Antonette dip, and still our
women move and have their be.
ing.
Our men bedecked 10 buttons
and badges are recovering from the |
Trllby toolhpicks. Their efforts
toward physical transformation |
proves detrimental to business,
hence they develop fads in other
lines. Advertising gives them a
good opportunity to sell Rough |
Rider goods, Klondike goods or
Carrie Nation halchets.
Variety is restlul. Fads may
develop indiyidualism, but extreme
iaddism ndangers eindividualism
aud obliterates discrimination.
No one wishes to lose individ.
ual force of character Nothing is
much more disgusting to the stu.
dent Of human nature than affec.
tation. Our country above all
others gives opportunity for de.
yeloping individual cast, talent
aud character. While fade flourish |
and "the latest thing" meet our
eyes on every side, may sense and |
discrimination protect us.

st. Louis, Dec. "a special to the
Post Dispatch from Lincoln. Neb.,
says William jennings Bryan has
fully recovered from the attack of
presidential fever which he has
suffered from at various times. At
least he says he has. This is how it
happened; Some time ago an agent of
life insurance company asked Col.
Bryan to take out some more insurance..
After being worried for some months
Col. bryan signed an application for
$40, 900. The application was sent to
the home Office and an examination of
it shows how facetious the Colonel can
be at times Under the list of questions
as to whether he had ever suffered
from fevers, tire Colonel writes: II
suffered twice from presidential fever,
followed by severe chills, but l have
fully recovered. "
The application caused good deal
of amusement, and the policy was
promptly granted.

Rural Free Delivery.

The report of the First Assistant
Postmaster General is decidedly Ell :
couraging to the friends of free rural
delivery Mr.. johnson shows that the
service has already become self-sus-
tanning and with a greater promise of
increased revenues than is held out by
any department of the postal business.
He estimates that the gain should be
three times as great from rural delivery
as in the smaller offices and five times
that from fourth-class post offices
When it is remembered that the field
is a virgin one and of unlimited
capabilities, Mr.. Johnson's assertion
will not be questioned. 1t is confirmed
by the history of practically all the
rural delivery routes already estab-
lished. Mr. Johnson himself says that
every establishment of route is
promptly followed by a steady income
in the volume of mail delivered and
collected. The educational influence
of the movement is so great that il
may be considered as practically I'M
limited. AS the beneficiaries of the
service are made up of the most de.
serving class of taxpayers, the agricul
tural classes. small farmers especially,
the Government is amply justified il
its determination to extend to then
the advantages TO which they are 81
manifestly entitled. -COurierJouTnal

VALUABLE RELICS.
Old Papers of President James K.
Polk Sold for $4,000.

Chicago, Ill, Dec 9.-The Chicago
Historical Society is now the owner of
the most valuable set of private papers
in America which remain unworked
into historical volumes. 1t includes
the diary and correspondence, State
and personal of James K. Polk, and
has been purchased of the heirs in
Nashville for $3, 500, "a sum which is
considered bargain by those who are
familiar with the collection.
The diary is contained in forty vol
umes full of interesting data and COM
ment. Impressions of the different
members of the Polk Cabinet are found
under the dates when the meetings
were held and there is much which
gives truer insight into the character
of the man and the President so it is
claimed, than anything the historians
and critics have ever written

A Telephone War at McMinnvilIe.

A special from McMinnville to the
American says;
GAS result of an official communica-
ton from Leland Hume, General Mana
ger of the Cumberland Telephone aud
Telegraph Company that on January
! the telephone rates would be raised
from 100 to l25 per cent. largely at
tended meeting of the telephone sub
scribers of this place was held this
morning. Resolutions were passed au
thorizing the formation of the Citizens
Telephone Company, with a capital of
$500 divided into shares of 525 each, to
furnish subscribers with boxes at 81
per month and pledging the subscribers
to use no box, without regard to the
rental thereon, except the boxes of the
local company. 1t looks like all the
present subscribers for telephones will
support the new company. That the
Cumberland people will cut rates and
make war to the death on the new con
Germ is not doubted, and the final out
come will be watched with interest"

Robert E. Lee.

The late Sam R. Watkins, of this

Robert E. Lee;
lone evening Gen. Robt f, Lee
came to our camp. He was tne-l look
ing gentleman, and wore mustache,
He was dressed in blue cottOnade and
looked like some good boys grandpa
I felt like going up to him and saying
good evening, Uncle Bob | am not
certain at this late day that | did not
do SO. | remember going up mighty
close and sitting there and listening 70
his conversation with the officers oL
our regiment He had calm ana
collected air about him, his voice was
kind and tender, and his eye was as
gentle as doves. His whole make
up of form and person, looks and man
ner had kind of gentle and soothing
magnetism about it that drew every
one to him and made them love, re-
spect and honor him. | fell III love love
with the old gentleman and felt llhe
going home with him. ! know nav
never seen a finer looking man nol
one with more kind and gentle features
and manners. His horse was stanulns
nipping the grass, and when ! saw
that he was getting ready to starr 49,, !
ran and caught his horse and led Mn ill.,
up to him. He took the reins OF lno
bride in his hand and said, imam
you, my son, rode off, and my near s
went with him. There was none u
his staff with him; he had on no s"I y:i
or pistol, or anything to sho" NE NE
rank. The only thing that remeill ,,sr
he had was an opera glass hung o'''
his shoulder by strap.

All the world loves a lover, and

New Trial in the Thomas Murder
Case Refused.
Charges Against Jurors not Sus-
Handicapped Taken to
Supreme Court.

The argument for a new trial in the
John W Thomas murder case, which
begun Saturday in the Circuit Court,
was concluded late Monday afternoon.
Judge Holding overruled the motion,
and refused to grant the plea for new
trial. Thereupon the defendant took an
appeal to the Supreme Court.
In asking for new trial, the attor-
neys for the defense charged that four OF
the jurors-Joe aid Jim Cole, Joe Par
IRISH and T. j. Dalton-had prejudged
the case, but the witnesses they intro
duced failed to substantiate the charges
