that Englishman with the dogs that
wanted stronger scent. Out of the
holes came little animals and you
never saw such mix up in your life.
The dogs ran for the Englishman and
jumped around him for protection.
Then the Englishman tried to get away
from the dogs for protection, too, and
the whole combinati ton started for the
wagon.

my man, and don't let them get within

So we went mile after mile over that

the bottom of my heart, but there are
times when pity must not get too close.
I kept him in sight so that he should
not miss the way, but he had to walk.
Once in while he would run as though
would allow him to catch up with the
wagon, but every time he did we put
on more speed. When we neared town,

pany would not be desirable for at
least "a hours. never saw him again"
''And the little animals in the little
holes in the little hill, senator?" Mr..
Vest was asked.
'Poiecats," replied the senator.
"The Englishman had read about quail
living in holes in the prairie hills and
he wouldn't change his mind when
tried to explain things to him. But
those dogs of his certainly did get all
the scent they wanted-there was no
mistake about that"

tinguished visitor, and then came the
doctor. speech. Thinking that it was
a favorable occasion to impress upon
his youthful auditors the Importance
of drill and practice, the doctor,
after expressing the pleasure that
the exercises had given him, told the
children that they had done far bet
ter than he could have done, and
then asked:
Can some one of you tell me why
it is that / cannot do these calisthen-
ic exercises as well as you have done
them?"
After an instant's pause small
hand went up, and, on receiving an
encouraging word from the doctor,
little boy stood up and said:
"'Cause you are old and stiff in the
j'ints'-which was not exactly the
answer either expected or desired.

dirt the men know. They talk free
ly with the men of things forbidden
the decent and virtuous. They read
the worst French fiction. They see
the worst French plays.
"The women of this smart set no
longer pretend to recognize virtue,
even as a female accompaniment.
Innocence is badge of delinquency,
sign of the crude and raw, de-
formity which, if tolerated at all,
must carry some promise of amend
ment, for among these titled cy-
prians the one thing needful is to
know it all.
"In London and in Paris and at
Monte Carlo in the winter and at
Trouville and AK in the summer
they make life one amending de-
bauch; their only literary provender,
when they read at all, the creeds of
D'Annunzio and Bourget; their Nee
ca, the roulette table and the race
course; their heaven, the modern
yacht, with its luxuries and isola-
ton. The ocean tells no tales, and
as the smart. set knows no law, in
extremis it can go to sea.
1.-THE 400 are rotten, through and
through. They have not one re-
deeming feature. All their ends are
achieved by money and largely by
the unholy use of money. If one of
them proposes to go into jingo poll
tics he expects to buy his way, and
the rogues who have seats in con-
gress or foreign appointments to sell
see that he pays the price. If one
of them wants to marry lord she
expects to buy him, and the titled
rascals who wish to recoup their
broken fortunes see that she pays
the price.

supremacy, and no one to shy a
brick at them and say Scat, you dew

TIE "FOUR HUNDRED"
Kentucky Editor Says the SMART sets
Distinguishing Trait Is Its
Moral Aba nd on.

Henry Watterson In the Louisville
Courier-Journal makes scorching At
tack on the New York "400," refei ring
to them again as flock of unclean
birds. The editorial occur.cs two
columns OF space, and says in part:
THE term smart set was adopted
by society TO save itself from a more
odious description. The distinguish
ing trait of the smart set is it's
moral abandon. 1t makes business
of defying and overlapping conven-
tional restraints upon its pleasures
and amusements. 1t sets itself above
the law, both human and divine.

youngest major general the United
states army ever had, which is some
thing OF a distinction. 1t is more
than probable that he will some day
be the commander of the armies of
the United States, his age being in
his favor.
Gen. Macarthur was made gov
ernor general of the Philippines and
his administration was clean, vigor-
Gus and eventful.
His grasp of affairs in the Philip
pines was the result of an intelli-
gence beyond the scope of most
men. 1t has shown us that the mod
ern soldier must succeed in other
ways beside those required of him in
action. While his attitude as com.
mander of the occupying army at
Manila demanded that he should re-
gard The Filipinos with suspicion, he
was always alert to discover the
human motives of the individual.
Human nature is not at it's best held
up at the muzzle of loaded gun,
and Gen. Macarthur was intelligent
enough to recognize that the native
Filipino required teaching more than
shooting. Coercion is better than alb
solute subjugation.
The faculties that helped him most
in his policy at Manila were the
scholarly ones. He is fine historian,
and there is nothing ripens Judgment
so safely as knowledge of the
worlds history. 1t is a sure index of
national evolution, in which racial
motives can be traced, and if expan-
sion is the will of the people force of
arms alone is but a shock that sub
dues temporarily.
Gen. Macarthur is diplomat. The
gift of reasonableness is his. He
has, beyond the harmonic poise that
is required in the service, the in
stincts of a gentleman. We all know
what that quality involves, the rela-
tionshirs it can establish, the dignity
it entails and exacts. The training
of an army man is intended to de-
velop :he best that is in him. Some
times it does, and sometimes it does
not. There are all kinds, all sorts
and conditions of men in every serv-
ice, but the best executive quality in
a man is integrity of purpose toward
his fellow man, white or black, and
that quality is distinctively Gen. Mac
Arthur's.

Died for Her Baby Brother.

One of the touching stories of the
season comes from a little town in
northern Wisconsin, where a six
year-old child died for her baby
brother. The baby had been left in
the yard, sleeping in it's buggy, and
the sister had been asked to go out
and see to him. There the little girl
saw big rattlesnake coiled at the
feet of the infant, and, realizing the
danger, seized a broom and tried to
kill the reptile. The snake, dis
turbed, darted at the little girl,
coiled around the handle of the
broom and slipped down it, striking
its fangs into the child's neck. The
infant boy was untouched, but the
motherly baby sister died in great
agony.

rise to a report that they had come TO
look over the situation and formulate
a plan to block the entrance of the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad into
Knoxville. This, they vigorously de-
MED, and their actions bear them out,
for before night all had departed with
the exception of Mr.. Cannon, who will
spend the night here. The third vice
president said the Southern was too
busy to be thinking of what other
roads were doing.
1t was learned from Mr.. Cannon to-
night that the machinists' strike on the

men are to return to work at the same
scale of wages which was in force
previous to last May and will be taken
back as soon as they apply for work

cussing the settlement, but admitted
that the Southern had suffered from

FOOD DOES IT.
Restores Health More surely Than
Amy Medicine.

1t is a ssort road to trouble when the
food does not supply tn right material
to rebuild the brain. You cannot use
the brain without breaking down small
particles every day, and you cannot re-
build unless the food furnishes the
right kind of building material, and
that is albumen and phosphate of pot
ash. Not such as you get from the
druggist, but sub as Nature stores in
certain kinds of food.
Grape Nuts contains these particles,
and well defined results can be OBJ
tanned from using the toothsome, delic-
ious food.
A brain worker whose name can be
given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich, writes: Last fall got in a des-
perate condition through excessive
mental work and lack Of proper food

business and seek absolute quiet and

physician for several months, but it
seemed my food did not rebuild the
brain tissue properly. 1 was on the
