An American who was travelling in
South Africa in 1896, toward the close
of the Matabele troubles. recalls his
first sight of Earl Grey, the new gov
ernor general of Canada. His lord
ship says the American referred TO,
did not look a bit like a belted Earl.
Though administrator of Rhodesia at
the time, he was in his shirt sleeves,
with a pair of obviously ready-made
trousers and a disreputable SLOUGH hat.
He and couple of friends were hav-
ing a drink at the bar of the Buluwayo
Club" Lord Grey, by the way, was
born in a royal residence. His father
was private secretary to Queen Vic
toria and Lady Grey was stopping in
st. James palace at the tint.

NAVY Yam TAX.

Pensacola Journal: A small tax may
be assessed against all parties now re-
siding on the naval reservation. At
least this is the plan now proposed by
the Navy Department, in order that
the expense of maintaining proper sam

Once upon a time it happened that

of them moved hand or foot They

stealing a thing. Though they could
not tell what was the meaning of this
strange proceeding, certain it was that
the family was safe. But where was
the head of the house? After search

in his dispensary. There he stood in
the midst of drugs, medicine spoon in
hand, looking fierce and triumphant
What are you doing here?" inquired
one of the members of the household
Smiling, he replied, Those robbers

are the lives of five or six robbers?

Mr.. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga:
Dear Sir-In reply to yours of the
29th inst, I will say that I freely en-
dorse all you or others have said or
could ever say about Johnson's Chill
and Fever Tonic. Two months ago
my father, who is IS years old, was
stricken down with Bilious Fever, and
came near dying. I began at once
with the Tonic, giving him a dose
every two hours. Within week my
father was able to walk about the
house. I persuaded him to take a
second bottle, and under its use he has
grown strong. Although S5 years old
on the path of last June, he has to-
day taken a horseback ride of six
miles unattended. Yours very truly,
F. A. GULLEDGE.

The term "Yabu" is applied to doc
tors who prescribe wrong medicines.
Now it happened once that a quack
having been the means of killing the
only son of a certain house, the parents
determined to have their revenge on
him. So they sued him at a court of
law. The affair was eventually patch
ed up by the worthy quack giving
the bereaved parents his own son in
return for the one he had killed. Not
long after this event, the said quack
heard a loud knocking at his door one
night On going to the door he was
informed that one of his neighbor s
wives was dangerously i'll and that
his presence was required at once.
Turning to his wife, he said: This
requires consideration my dear. There
is no knowing but that it may end in
their taking you from me-"

ago. "Th' attic Of ivry Dimmycrats

wanst used-policies that have faded
or punctured a tire or broke a main
spring or been run over be a band
wagon" Anybody who goes into the
Democratic garnet and seeks the cor

Imperialism have been thrown with
the suco essive changes of fashion will
certainly confess that Mr. DOOley in
this respect understands the DemOcra-
cy. For five years now the Democracy
has been denouncing g'imperialism," and
this year it again appears in that role,
with the so called anti-imperialists pro-
claiming it the only hope Of human lib
erty. Yet the fashion of its anti-im-
perialism has changed so often and so
completely that it would hardly know
itself if it rigged up in its former cos
