Same Line, Different Branch.

There is one man in Tennessee who,
no matter how many years pass over
his genial head as ex-Gov. Taylor, will
remain to the great majority of his
friends simply "Gov. Bob" His wit ia
as keen as his oratory is clear.
When DR.. Duncan, a noted Southern
divine of the Methodist persuasion, re.
signed from the conference to enter
the business world, it was announced
that he would "go into insurance"
''Insurance?" repeated a questioner
Life or fire?"

Gov. Bob with his infectious chuckle
Hasn't he just resigned from fro

Gave Him Too Much Energy.

A man in an apparently moribund
condition was recently taken into a
hospital in Melbourne, Australia, and
in order to revive him an electric
shock was administered The results
were startling and unexpected A
demoniac energy was instaneously in
fused. He sent the doctor sprawling
on the floor and flung a couple of as
sistants out of the winuow. Then he
proceeded to wreck the ward, while
nurses ran away shrieking and barri
caded themselves. He had done $500
worth of damage before the police
arrived.

So little done, so little DONE
And soon comes setting of the sun.
So little said. so little said.

Wisdom is profitable to others;

The man who fears he will do more

have much salary to call for.

tarrh, " say Hood Il Martin. When
a responsible business house like
this comes out and advertises that
HyOmei will not cost penny unless
it does all that is claimed for il, 1t
shows what remarkable confidence
they have in this scientific medical
treatment.
A complete Hyomei outfit consists
of neat inhaler, that can be car
ried in the pocket or purse, a medi-
cine dropper and q bottle of Hyomei,
and costs but 81.
The inhaler lasts a lifetime and
when extra bottles of Hyomei are
needed, they can be obtained for 5Oc.
This treatment does away with all
disAgreeable and dangerous stomach
dosing. Breathed through the Hy-
omei inhaler for few minutes four
times q day, it impregnates every
particle of air taken into the air

this way 1t cures the most CHRONIC

WHY THE CHANGED

Washington dispatches quote Presi- dent Roosevelt as favoring an appoint i've delegate for Alaska on the ground that any elective delegate chosen would be the tool of corporations. When he made his Seattle speech, the president used adjectives in the superlative de- gree, only, with which to express his confidence in the seli-reliance, the abil- ity, the integrity, and the patriotism of the people in Alaska The question naturally arises as to what influence has caused him to change his mind about them.
 The presidents attitude can be ae- counted for in one of two ways, one of which would be to his discredit and the other not necessarily so.
 u The presidents desire to appoint a delegate in congress to represent Alaska might be taken to indicate that those who have charged him with be- ing an autocrat, desiring to exercise the authority of an emperor and long ing to deny to the people the enjoyment of the right of self government, know whereof they speak. It is among the possibilities that the president wants to appoint a delegate to represent this dis trict in congress that it might be rep resentad as he would have it instead of as the people would have it. Some will hold. DO doubt, that this is the solution of the change Of heart at the White House.
 l2l However, it is not unlikely that the people of Alaska owe their fall from the esteem to the contempt of the chief executive to the lobby, which has lowered over the Alaskan affairs, pend ing at the national capital, like a horde Of vultures over a wounded stag. Il might be that the president has tsker these men at their word, and that he actually believes that each of the hireC representatives of the promoters, wh' are seeking advantage in the game O exploiting Alaska and who are depend ing upon the ignorance or avarice O eastern congressman to gain their ends is representing constituencies in Alas ka 1T that is so, it is not to be won dered that he has changed his mind If President Roosevelt thinks for ont moment that there is any danger thai the people of Alaska would return on' Of the professional lobbyists, with whom he is doubtless familiar by this time, as their representative in congress, it i' not strange that he has recommendeC the summary method of solving the question as outlined in the Washington dispatches.
