Choate's New Story.

Joseph H. Choate told a story at a
banquet. Chauncey M. DepeW arrived
late and in his turn told the same
story. He did not understand the pre-
mature laughter and the lack of tum-
ult when he concluded, and asked his
neighbor what was the matter. ''You
told Joe Choate's story five minutes
after he had finished it" was the re-
ply. Mr.. DepeW laughed. ''Choate's
story?" he said. why, Adam told
that to the snake at their first meeting

How to Cure Rusty Nail wounds.

How to Cure Rusty Nail Wounds.
The Scientific American says that one
Of the very best remedies that can be
applied to a wound made by a rusty
nail, and which is almost infallible in
its cure. is to take quantity of peach
leaves and beat them to pulp and
then apply them to the wound, and in
a very short time an improvement will
be noted In the wound. Several per-
sons have tried this remedy when all
others failed to give relief, and it was
beneficial in its results.

A hammock hung firmly according to
the following directions will be safe
and comfortable, says a Good House
keeping correspondent: The rope that
secures the head end should be twelve
inches or less in length, while that at

The Making OF Good Roads Part OfSubiects
Being Taught at Teachers Institute.
County Superintendent George Tay-
lor is in from the institute at Wilmot
and reports that the annual school for
the teachers of the county is proving
to be thelmost successful ever held in
the county.
Seventy-one of the teachers of the
county are regularly enrolled for work
in the institute and it is expected that
many others will enter for the last
week.
The teachers are having a new ex-
perience this week in the study of
agriculture and one of the principal
lines of work is the teaching of better
methods for road improvement. This
work is being handled by Prof. O.
Karege who has made careful study
of agricultural and good roads topics.
The teachers will be expected to
teach these things in the common
schools next year, and in this way the
Institute will have county wide in
fuence. The teachers have taken up
another important matter in the way
of enforcing Gsttendance among the
children of the county. 1t is claimed
that less THANH forty per cent of the
children of school age in the county
are attending school, and an effort will
be made to have every one of them in
school next year. Several plans of
honor awards have been adopted, and
the Superintendent will also insist on
the proper county officials looking
after the truants.

NEW YORK POLITICS.

The result Of the Democratic primaries
In New York strengthens Charles T. Muir
phy's grip on the Taminany organization.
All tho candidates whom he favored for
district leadership won. It Is tolerably
certain now that Mr.. Murphy Will do
tate the selection Of the Democratic city,
county and borough tickets.
A victory for Tammnny Mt the polls IN
November would make Murphy rs abso-
lutte boss as Richard Croker ever was.
Devery, who was defeated for leader
ship in one OF the districts. threatens 20
become al, Independent candidate for
Mayor, and in that event ne VIII draw
some thousands OF votes from Tammany'
That organization can Ill anord TO 1859
nny votes. on the other hand, Seth Low,
Who Il to DO the Fusion candidate for
the mayoralty, has n very considerao DIG
amount of opposition In the ranks OF
those who were his followers at the pre-
vious election.
We conclude, therefore, that the cam
nairn In New York will be interesting.
and that there is likelihood that tho
mayoralty vote viii be close. It is con.
coded that Mr., Low is a great man, but
some OF his attempts at reform have
made him unpopular and not q few Of his
appointments have given dissatisfaction.
Indeed, 1t is doubtful Il the fusionists
would have given him their support
In the conference recently held, but FOR
the influence Of certain great Republican
leaders. Mr.. Roosevelt is said to nave ''s
been one Of these, but he now denies
that he is taking any Aand in New York

ton recently, paid the negro q high trl-

Good Mr.. Northen, like some Of the

of long ago, the dear old "mammies' and

with our lives and the lives of our loyet

should be extended to the whole State,

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.

rha United States Navy Department
h.s ordered that henceforth the star

and treated with all the respect que the
national anthem.
II appears that our Jack Tars have not
been certain whether they ought 10 ~

rave been OF the opinion that the correct
hing for them to do was 10 take OIL

An Old Town Tonight
The United States army for qulte
while has recognized the star span
-,ad Ranner" as the national anthem.
Now that the navy and army oo'h nave
decided in favor Of # there need 20 no
more confusion on this point II seems
dIscred!table to us not to know what IS
onr national anthem--lf we have any-put
!. also appears that we Americans are not
the only ignoramuses In the world, for
on occasions on German steamships and
elsewhere "The Watch on the Rhihe' ana
other pieces have been played where the
German national anthem was required
eald anthem according to tho New YORK
Tribune, being "l9eil dir i'm slegerkranz''
AS TO what was the national air OF
the Confederates, there never was any
doubt, Notwithstanding the fact that no
official order so far as we know. was
Issued on the subject.
When the war for Southern independ-
ence was about to begin negro minstrel
company was filling an engagement IN
New Orleans. and Mr.. Emmet's new song
"Dixie," was sung by 1t, and soon be
came very popular The military bands o.
the town promptly took 1t up, and whel
n they went away with the soldiers the!
played it in tho camps with great accept
ability. The officers and men liked 1t an
demanded that 1t should be played t
them over and over again. They coul
not get along without It, and could nc
get enough OF IT.
The Confederate soldiers, therefore, ma
be said to have adopted Dixie AS the
national air and song--it Is not grand'
ouent enough TO be called an anthem, !
popularity in the South Is as great no
as ever, Whenever 1t Is played her
about there Is spontaneous outburst
applause. II is well received In Il
North, too
People do not rise and stand solemn
with uncovered heads when Dixie
played, II makes them feel bright a.
CHEEKY, and they want TO harrah a.
usually they do.
The music 10 Dixie Is said to ha
been adopted from some old. old wol
production, but the words are new-you
and giddy, We may say-and have
earthly bearing upon secession, or
struggle for Southern independence, II
are said to express the warnings OF
lot OF slaves who were sold away do
# South from their old home In New Jers
Truth to tell, the words OF Dixie
not worthy to be called the Confeder
war song, and many efforts have b
made to replace them with others
beauty and dignity. but none has q
aA.dsa When the song Is sung the
