Yes, answered the thoughtful man.
How much rain fell?'

his pocket and began to figure

dust and furnishing needed moisture

but have you ever thought what il
means in power2" continued the
thoughtful man. You said an inch Of
rain; now seq these figures New York
City contains 3OS square miles Of sur

Can you realize it?
Now, what comes down has gone up,

An eminent throat specialist OF Der.
lin has discovered thar the perfume of
certain strong smelling flowers is par
ticularly dangerous tn the voice. lie
specially mentions the violet, the rose,
the lily of the valley, the marc Slus and
the white lilac. He asserts that singer
can never sing SO clearly in room
where the scene of flowers prevails. One
well.known vocalist, Maris Sasse, in
formed her doctor that once between
acts she lost her voice from smelling
violets. Christine Nilsson discovered
that the perfume Of roses impaired her
voice and carefully renewed all strong
smelling flowers from her house. Simi-
lar testimony is given by the famous
lass singer, Delmas. Nine. Rene
Richard, the great Paris teacher Of sing
ing, noticed tnRt girls who came 10 her
CLASSES wearing flowers always sang
better when he flowers were removed
into another room. Faure, another great
authority, says vIolets are most dan
geroua, their perfume being rs hurtful
as tobacco or alcohol. -Phila. Times.

1t is Easy for the light-hsaded to be
light hearted.
He who confesses that he lies, lies !;
he who denies that he lies, lies twice.
We admire the man who will listen
to reason because he gives us a chance
to talk.
Most OF US know only one man whom
we regard as absolutely fair and IN
biased, and modesty prevents US from
naming him.
Let u man imagine he ia having his
own way and a woman can do anything
with him; let woman but suspect she
ia having her own way and man can
do nothing with her.
What pity that most of orr most
brilliant and original ideas did not
present themselves to us first.
Most men would find it difficult
matter to tell all they know; not that
they know much; but the difficulty
would arise in trying to winnow what
they do know from what they imagine
they know.

Bankruptcy Trustees Attorneys
Dismiss Suit at Close Of

Case Brought From Jones coun-

Defendant.
Anderson Estate Controversy
Settled Out OF Court by
Payment OF 5000.

The case brought in the Jones coun-
ty courts by the trustee in bankruptcy
against j. F. Chandler, now a resident
of this city, in which an important
point relative to the bankruptcy law
was involved, came to sudden termin-
alton at noon today. The attorneys for
George c. Lawrence, the trustee in
bankruptcy in Jones county, dismissed
the action without prejudice after the
evidence for defense was concluded.
The suit, which was brought to COM
pei Mr.. Chandler TO pay $1,000 into the
assets Of the firm of Buth & Ottsen and
to compel Chandler to take his chances
with the other creditors, was based on
the allegation that Chandler was aware
of the fact that the firm was insolvent
at the time the Chandler debt was paid.
The evidence, however, showed that
Chandler was not conyersant with the
affairs of the firm just prior to It's fall
ure, but on the other hand was not on
good terms with the members Thereof
and he was not transacting much bus
mess for them. Rulings of the court
during the progress of the trial had
