Pettus' Proposition.

Senator Pettus of Alabama is one of
the young octogenarians of the coun-
try. He does not look like a man in
his eighty-irst year, and says he does
not feel half the years he has piled I'M
to his credit.
An Alabama representative, himself
we'll along in years, suggested to Mr..
Pettus the other day the possibility
that he might live to be 100 years old
and asked him if he would consider II
right to hold his senatorship twenty
years longer.
why not?" demanded Mr.. Pettus.
Think Of the Others was the re-
ply. There are a lot of aspiring
youngsters down in our state. Don't
you want to give them a chance?"
Never thought of that" unused Mr.
Pettus. Say, l tell you what ri do.
I'll make a trade with you. II you will
die l will resign, and so we will give
two of those aspiring youngsters their
political opportunities"
What a noble young man YOU are
Pettus!" fervently calculated the gen.
tleman who had been invited to die.

Most persons, l suppose, have the
idea that the rich are buried in ex-

spent twenty years in the undertaking.
supply business, to a New York Trib-
une reporter, "but, according to my ex-
perience, it is generally people who
desire to be thought wealthy who in
vest much money in collins. You see,
most rich people have their secretaries,
whose business it is to keep down ex-
penses all the time, and the underta-
kers have found to their sorrow that
they are just as strict when it comes to
funeral expenses as in anything else.
They want the best always, but they
won't order anything that is extrava-
CANT or unnecessary.
tits the people who are not so rich
that put money into collins" he con-
tinued. 81 remember the costliest one
our firm ever turned out. 1t was for a
man in Brooklyn, and was supposed to
cost $4,000, but it didn't. Nothing
would do the family but that plate
and handles should be of solid gold.
The undertaken who had the order told
us to put on plated ones instead. He
managed to spend about 81 900 on the
coffin. The rest, l suppose, went into
his pocket. There is one thing certain
the family never knew the differ
ence. There are some undertakers in
New York who are willing to give peo-
pie what they pay for, but the most of
them are not. An undertaken seldom
pays more than $3.50 for a coffin, no
matter how much money the family is
willing to expend. Almost any one in
the business will tell you that when
you get beyond $3.50 you are throwing
away money"

POINT WHERE HE DREW THE LINE

Wife Long Enough.

WIN AohS
At a smoker recently given by j.

Democratic executive committee OF
the Twenty-eighth ward one OF the
speakers related the following:
About a week ago three members OF
our committee whom | will algebral-

I'D a night of it with a bet that each

THE VISION OF JACOB
SACRED SPOT IS NOW A DESOLATE
HEAP OF RUINS.
One Of the Oldest, Holiest, and MOSS
Interesting Sitos Referred To IN
Christian History-Stone Which Served
as q Pillow.

1t is strange that some of the relig-
ious organizations which are fighting
among one another over the posses
sion of bogus or doubtful places asso-
ciated with S%criptural events do not
take possession of Bethel, n OF the
oldest, hottest and most interesting OF
all the sites referred to in Christian
history. 1t is now called Betin, and is
an abandoned and desolate heap OF
ruins, with a few miserable novels
occupied by wretched families of Bed
ouins, who herd the sheep and goats
upon the neighboring hills, writes Will
liam E. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald.
The hill called Bethel is a conspicu-
Gus place, rising several hundred feet
from the plain and visible for a con-
siderable distance. There are several
ancient tombs, marble columns and
other pieces of dressed stone, some OF
them bearing inscriptions and others
showing evidences Of elaborate carv-
ing, scattered about the fields in the
vicinity, and near the summit of the
hill is a remarkable circle of large
blocks Of stone which the Moslems
say is the place where King Jeroboam
set up the golden calves for the Is
raelites to worship, and brought down
upon himself the wrath of Jehovah.
There is also the foundation Of q
large square tower, called Burr Betin
by the natives, and, like the reservoir,
it's origin is lost in the mist Of the
ages. It was probably built by the Cru.
saders. The Moslems say that 1t marks
the spot where Jacob slept that night
and when God made with him the
greatest covenant ever made with man
and said: Il am the Lord God of Abra-
ham, thy father, and the God of Isaac;
the land wherein thou Hest, to thee
will give it and to thy seed, and thy
seed shall be as the dust of the earth,
and shall spread abroad to the west
and to the east, and to the north and
to the south; and in thee and in thy
seed shall all the families of the earth
be blessed. And Jacob ose up early
in the morning and took the stone
that he had used for his pillow and set
it up for a pillar and poured oil upon
the top of it, and he called the name
of that place Bethel" And yet the
place where this occurred is not only
neglected, but absolutely abandoned,
and no one has thought it worth while
to erect a monument here since the
days of the Crusaders.
The stone which Jacob used for a
pillow is supposed to be the seat Of
the coronation chair in Westminster
Abbey, and Edward VII. will sit upon
it when he receives the crown and
scepter of the British empire next
June. This stone is said to have been
taken to Ireland by n of the early
Christian missionaries, and the kings
of Ireland were crowned upon 1t; it
was then carried to Scotland and was
the throne of the Scottish kings for
centuries, and finally in the reign of
Edward the Confessor it was brought
to London, and has since been in
Westminster Abbey.

Gen. Winfield Scott's Variety.

Besides being a royal gourmand and
a person Of unusual size, Gen. Win
field Scott was probably as vain a man
as may be discovered outside Of the
realm of literature. Gen. Keyes, au-
thor of Fifty Years Observation"
was reading to him an article on
Henry Clay, in which the size of
Clay's mouth was referred to, and the
writer had added that Burke, Mira
beau and Patrick Henry all had
mouths of extraordinary size, conclud-
ing with the remark, "All great men
have large mouths!" exclaimed the
general; why, my mouth is not above
three-fourths the size it should be for
my bulk!"

CHURCH MONEY.

The women folk OF the Methodist
church at Oxford recently set out to
earn money for certain church pur-
poses. and a meeting vas held at
which each woman or girl recited the
method by which she had earned her
contribution, says the Boston Journal.
Some OF the recitals were funny
enough to convulse the audience, and
a few are epitomized AZ follows: Miss
Mary Dobbs started out to do some
janitor work, but got tired and sub
contracted the job, though saving for
herself a margin of profit. Mrs. M.
Collins said that one day her husband
was tearing around the house hunting
for his overshoes and said he would
give q half q dollar to know what had
become Of them. She told him she
had sold them to the ragman, and
demanded the half. Mrs. Bay kalso-
mined her own house and saved the
dollar which an old colored man de-
manded for the job. Miss Zulu Cole
engaged in q great variety Of employ
ments. She got s cents for washing
Mrs. Middleton's dishes, 10 cents for
doing some sewing for her sister, s
cents from her uncle for keeping her
mouth shut Ave minutes. s cents for
killing three cats. Is cents for sweep
ing the sidewalk in front Of two stores,
and s cents for popping some corr.
Miss LYDIA Mills made 50 cents by
mending the harness and making a
new halter for the cow. Miss Lettie
Morrill, got 80 cents for doctoring .

EAT A BAD LINE MEAL.



nut Avoid PartakIng Of Heavy ana
Almost Indlgestibie Food.
What is one mans meat is another
mans poison; some people sleep better
on a full stomach and some better on
an empty one. and there probably al
ways will be two parties I'm the world,
the advocates of supper and those
who condemn it, Just as there are peo-
pie who recommend a hearty breakfast
and those who advocate a morning
meal consisting Of coffee and a roll.
But the advocates of going to bed on
a full stomach are increasing, and
many physicians now recommend a
bed time meal for weak, ervou and
emaciated persons. While rich and
hearty food is undoubtedly inappro-
pirate at bed time, a light nourishing
repast at night often %coDduces to sound
sleep by drawing the blood away from
the brain. The long hours Of sleep
consume about one-third of U ex-
istence. Although there is naturally
much less demand upon the system
during sleep than during our waking
hours, there is still a wasting away
of tissue consequent upon the suspen-
sion of nutriment for so many hours.
II the food taken at dinner is digested
by bed time the body feeds upon it
self during the sleeping hours. Often
one is wakeful and restless at night
because the stomach is empty.
One physician says: Man is the
only animal l know of who does not
deem it proper to sleep on a good
meal. The infant instinctively cries
to be fed at night, showing that food
is necessary at that time, as well as
during the day, and that being left
too long without it causes the child
discomfort" So, If you crave it, the
supper advocates say, eat a light, east
ly digested supper at bed time and the
long hours of sleep will work out for
you a problem in addition, instead Of
satisfaction in adipose tissue. But in
your eating at bed time be careful
what you eat, always having in mind
the sad fate of little Mary;
Mary had a little lamb,
Some steak and mushroom stew;
And ere the sunlit morning broke
She had the nightmare, too.

Marshal Soult was one of Napoleon's
ablest generals. He was with the en-
peror through most of his European
campaigns, but it was in Spain that he
first came into conflict with Yelling
ton. Soult and the French forces were
finally driven from the peninsula. Aft
er the defeat of Waterloo he rallied the
ruins of the French army at Laon.
Upon the restoration of King Louis
XVIII. Soult was banished and was not
recalled until 1919. In 1888 he was sent
to England as the ambassador Of
rance, and was present at the corona
ton OF Queen Victoria. He was re-
ceived by the Duke Of Wellington with
warmth and by the British public with
enthusiasm. In 1S45 he retired from
active duty and was honored with the
appointment Of Marshsl-General Of
France. He then retired to his chat
eau, soultberg, near his birthplace,
where he died in 1851.

ways in which They Make Life Pleas
ant for the President.
We have never had a President like
Roosevelt. This is said often, and is
true in several respects. 1t is espec-
tally true socially. He knows so many
people in other than a political way.
There is almost no part of the coun-
try where he cannot go and find
friends other than political ones. If
he goes on a hunting expedition in
the far west he finds college mates
to entertain him. If he goes to Farm
ington he finds relatives. If he stops
at New Haven he falls into a group
which includes a rough rider or two.
When he goes over to New York he
puts up with his own people and after
dinner goes to the Century Club and
spends an evening, as any member
might.
What other President have WI had
who was at home everywhere in such
associations as these? Mr.. Mckinley,
as the results of public experience Of
twenty-five years, knew men in all
parts Of the country, but they were
mostly politicians and statesmen. If
he went anywhere he was entertained
with more or less stiffness and had
little of the freedom of the private citi-
zen. There is no President we have
ever had, says the Waterbury Ameri-
can, who everywhere could find the
hospitality which is extended to the
man, and not the president, who,
therefore, could enjoy more or less
social privacy and could conceal him
self from the exposure to which a
President is subjected as President
Roosevelt can.
