Philosophy of Fatigue.

"Some may be interested to know
that there is now almost a new kind
Of philosophy Of fatigue" says writer
in Aiuslee's. "Some spectators think
man became conscious because his in
buttons were slowed up by exhaustion,
so that the mind has to pick it's way
slowly and logically instead of divining
instantly, as it used to do. 1t was the
fall of man. Wilder dreamers have
even described the origin of cosmic gas
and nebulae, from which all the worlds
come, as due to progressive fatigue OF
the ether, which is far more subtle and
back Of it. 1t is little as if they were
attempting to rewrite the first phrases
Of the Old Testament so that it should
read, in the beginning was fatigue"

pisn.t Eear His neaa Pattents.

There is a doctor of t..a old school in
one of the New England villages near
Randolph. Mass. whose house is sur
rounded by cemetery. The cemetery
is behind the house and comes up flush
with the road on either side, running
off to east and west for an eighth of a
mile. Some people might find such a
house lot doleful. and surely the neigh
bors are not lively. But that thought
never troubled the villagers so much as
the prospect of going home at night.
In the country towns of New England
the graveyard at night is still thing
Of terror, an inherited terror. There
are still towns where all the graves are
dug on line running due east and
west, with the footstones toward the
east SO that the dead may rise face to
face with the Judge on the last day. So
the doctor is often asked the question,
"Are you not afraid to go home some
times at night|
And his answer is always the same:
"No. Ny neighbors will never trouble
me. They all owe me money."-New
York Tribune.

Got His Answer.

"While on trip through the south

little town Of Warrenton, N. G. The
next morning, strolling around hooking
the place over, l met countryman
who greeted me with a 'HowdyY and
passed the time of day most cordially.
I was considerably taken aback when
noticed that he was barefooted, and
ventured to ask him if it was the Gus
tom of the country for the men to &C
without shoes. He answered, with a
drawl, WAL, some on us does. but
most on us tends to our own bust

THOMAsvILLE FIRE BUG.
Mr.. D. Il. Milton, of the Insurance Department
Reports the Arrest of Negro.

Mr. d. H. Milton, chief clerk in the
State Insurance Department, returned
yesterday from Thomasville, where he
went to investigate the recent incen-
diary fires. With the assistance of the
citizens of Thomasville he thoroughly
investigated the origin of the fire, and
as a result secured the arrest of Ray
Edmundson. He is a negro barber and
the circumstantial evidence against him
is very strong Mr. Milton is confident
that there will be developments that
will lead to the arrest of other parties
Edmundson was bound over in a bond of
1925 and Emery e. Raper, Esq, was en-
ployed to prosecute him.
The parties who first arrived at the
fire detected the scent of kerosene oil
in Edmundson's barber shop, where the
fire evidently originated. He was seen
going from the barber shop few min
utes before the alarm of fire was given.
On his return to the fire, after the alarm
was given, he asked a gentleman who
could have fired my barber shop" That
gentleman said that at the point at
which this conversation took place it was
impossible for Edmundson to have
known that it was his shop that was
on fire. In shaving a party that after
noon the barber made the statement
that he was the last white man who
would be shaved in that barber shop.
1t seemed that he had lost customers
and he proposed to sell out at fifty cents
on the dollar. He had insurance on his
chair and tools to the amour: of 500.
They were worth about $3.50.
There have been eighteen fires in
Townsville since the first day of Janu-
airy, the total loss in the last involving
a loss of about $4,000. These fires have
alarmed the people and Mr.. Milton says
the greatest excitement prevails among
the people OF Tn evansville. Tie people
do not sleep we'll for fear they will be
burned out.

Milton lis deterlpined TO leave nothing
