The man who helps his community

may not seem to appreciate it at first,
because there are those always ready

noise is their only stock in trde, they
are usually conspicuous. But in its

LONDON will soon be iii the midst
of turmoil over the coronation
again. That it will not be alto
gether a case of Sweetness long
drawn OUT is quite probable, and,
ln fact, many mnst regret that the
agony was not gotten over with at
first, when everything was ready.
AT least one wnuId judge so by the
apparently heartfelt wish of the
editor of London Truth, who on
the eve of the week set for the
coronation which was postponed.
said: Il trust that The King will
live. happy and prosperous for
many year, and at least devout-
ly trust that he will outlive me.
Que coronation IN lifetime is
enough; indeed, | may almost say,
more than enough for most people.
The coronation has been so done
to death by the newspapers thar 1t
will be relief when it is laid To
rest and becomes has-been." 1t
is too bad that the coronation
really could not come off at the
time set for 1t, when popular ex-
pectation was at its hight and the
gorgeous preparations all complete.
When IT does occur, it is to be
feared it will be very much like
the warm-ove remnants of
feast.

DROUGHT KILLING CATTLE.
Are Put to Death in Texas to
Stop SufferingS.

A San Antonio, Texas, dispatch
says: Within the last xty days more
than 100 head of horses and COWS have
been killed in San Antonio by their
owners or by police officers at the re-
quest of owners to prevent them from
dying of starvation. The drought
which has been prevailing in south
vest Texas for many months has re-
suited in almost total failure of grass
and that, coupled with the high price
of food stutfs here, make it impossible
for the poorer people who own ami
mails to provide food for them. The
COWS and horses of these have become
so weak from want of proper food that
they are worthless and are killed dali
ly to save them from death by starva-
ton.
Since January set IN there have
been on an average of four horses a
day shot by policemen for these rea-
sons

Drank Two Quarts of Yeast.

Farmer Bergstrom of Patterson, n.

buttermilk, but it may be doubted that
he will be so partial to it hereafter.
The other evening he turned to his
head and drank two-quart bowlful OF
what looked and tasted somewhat like
buttermilk. But Improved to be liquid
yeast. In about two hours the yeast
began to get in is work. If Berg
strom had desired to pose as human

advantage of his opportunity. But he
WASH posing at all just then; he didn't
have time between pains to pose. A

succeeded in relieving him, and Berg
strom swore off from butGermilk OF

THE SUPREME COURT.
A Picture of the Human Side of
This August Tribunal.

That august tribunal composed OF
zine "most potent. grave and revered
seigpOrs," and known as the Supreme
Court of the United States, is thus de-
scribed by one who, while mindful OF
the respect which is the courts due,
ventures picture of its human side
which might with proprietv nrovoKe
private smile from the court itself
The remarks are credited to>Mr. AL
bert f.. Hunt:
Theoretically, and no doubt actually
it 1.-THE Supreme Court is made up OF
nine of the wisest men in the country.
Whether they hold this opinion them
selves we may only conjecture, but it
is known that their one purpose in life
is to expound the constitution, and
their only hope of future reward the
divine assurance and that they ex-
pounl it well. 1t is said that they
care for nothing else in the universe,
although we may modify this to the
extent of allowing them the primitive
human feeling for their wives and
children.
Dignity is too tame word to apply to
the stern serenity of this little ground
of earthly gods. 1t is austeritY, per-
haps: the austerity which comes as the
outgrowth of centuries of tradition, and
long years of exclusive and profound
study in the musty archives OF juris-
prudence.
Observing Them on the bench in
their little room at the capitol, their
venerable heads bent in thought, their
heavy boards, where such exist, brush
ing the black silk gowns of their office,
and lofty abstraction of their gaze, one
can hardly realize that they are crea-
lures of flesh and blood. We know
they are, however, for they eat.
No matter how vital the question at
issue, On the stroke of one o'clock the
court rises in body, sheds it's black
gowns. dons it's black hats. usually OF
the high variety, proceeds with no di-
intuition of dignity to its private
chambers, where it lunches in solemn
seelusion. On the stroke of two it is
back on the bench again. and then 1t
again displays slight samblence OF
human frailty. for. under the comfort
ing influence of good digestion, it al
most invariably falls asleep. This
does not affect It's judicial capacities
Sleeping or waking, it knows the consti
tuition equally well.-Nashville Amerl'

STILL SHORT CASH.
The State Will Have to Borrow
$2OO,O 900 Anyway.

Statements of the condition of the
state treasury called for by Governor
Gambler have been furnished by the
state treasurer and controller gen.
eral.
A conference between these three
officials with reference to the treas
ury's status and for the purpose OF de-
termining just how far the states debts
could be promptly paid with the re-
sources at hand was held.
The conclusion was reached that in
order to pay the teachers their second
months salary this iyear it will be
necessary for the governor to again
borrow 100000.
The total general debt of the state
to be paid, exclusive of the amount to
be paid to the teachers for this year,
is So, $4,000, which leaves a balance of
1858, 900 to pay the teachers for two
months work this spring as has been
done heretofore, which will require
about 100000. 1t will require at least
$3.50, 900 to pay the expenses of the
legislatureand other necessary expens-
ses of the state next fall before the
taxes begin to come in.
Hence the necessity of borrowing
5000, 900 to finish paying the teachers.

DIRTY CHECK FOR SIX CENTS.
Is on the State Treasury of Kentucky
and Was Found in Indiana.

State Treasurer Hager of Kentucky
received through the mails a few days
ago a state treasurer's check issued by
treasurer George w. Long in 1897.
The check was made payable to Il. A.
Hancock, who was at that time VAR
den of the Frankfort penitentiary. 1t
was indorsed on the back by Hancock
and also by A. H. Stewart, who was
prison physician at that time.
The check was found some days ago
on the streets in Anderson, Ind, and
the finder forwarded 1t to treasurer
Hager with hope that it would help
him balance his books.
The remarkable feature about the
check besides it's worn and muddy
condition is the fact that the amount
to be conveyed to Hancock is only six
cents. Treasurer Hager is anxious to
know how the Chez: reached Ander-

DID NOT WANT TO
PRESS GOVERNMENT.
AFTER MANY YEARS WANTS UNCLE
SAM TO PAY FOR CORN.
1t Was Sold to General Sherman During
the War at $I50 a Bushel. Claim
Now Being Pressed.

Congressman John A. Moon has q
rather unique mission to perform for
one of his constituency who lives near
Chattanooga, but as this party Is arm
! ed with the proper credentials and
been very modest about his claim it
is not thought that the congressman
will have any trouble in securing the
recognition and cooperation of con-
gress for this solid old East Tennes-
seean who was a union sympathizer
Some time ago Congressman Moon
was approached by an old and sub
stantial citizen, who told the judge
that he wanted to have little private
conversation with him, and the con-
gresham of the district was very
much surprised when the old citizen
disclosed an order upon the United
States government signed by General
Sherman, acknowledging the receipt
of $50 bushels of corn at S1.50 bushel.
The old gentleman explained that
General Sherman had bought the corn
from him when he as in Chattanooga
during the war and had given him an
order on the government, agreeing to
pay 81. so bushel for the same He
said that the reason he had never pre-
sented the claim was because he had
wanted to see the government get
along all right, and did not care to
press it for the amount as he really
had plenty to get along on without it,
anyway. Now, however he was get
ting old, and as the old citizens were
passing away one by one he thought
the time had come for him to think
about winding up his earthly affairs
and getting things in shape SO that
his family could be in good shape after
he died. Yes, he knew the govern
ment was good for the money and
would have paid it long ago if he had
turned in the order for collection, but,
he reiterated, he had no desire to press
the government about the matter, as it
probably had needed the money worse
than he did.
Congressman Moon now has in his
possession and order on the United
States government signed by General
Sherman for the $50 bushels of corn at
$3.50 bushel, and he intends to col
lect it for the old man who has waited
thirty-fye years because he did not
want to press" the government.

/ IMPORTING COTTON.
One Hundred Bales Arrive from
Egypt for South Carolina Mill.

A few days ago press dispatch re-
ported that there had arrived at Nor
fork an importation of 100 bales of
Egyptian cotton, consigned to mill in
South Carolina. The item was one of
interest to persons engaged in produc-
ing or handling American sea island
cotton, with which the Egyptian sta
pie comes more or less into competition.
1t appears, however, that the South
Carolina mill. which is situated in the
town of Glover, has been importing
and spinning Egyptian cotton for as
much as two years. 1t produces high
grade yarn, used in the manufacture of
fine underwear and hosiery. Since the
mill was organized and is RIM for the
purpose of making money for its stock
holders, the fact that it uses Egyptian
cotton in preference to the American
long-staple is no doubt based upon the
cost of the raw material.

5ust before the train plunged into the

hurt. and so far as known no one else
was hurt, all the train crew being IN
the cab. No cause is assigned for the
accident except that it is possible
the train was heavy and could not be
stopped. 1t is stated that frequently
the trains slip and slide, and the draw
being open at train time accounts for
the accident.
