Bill Arp's Ideal Girl.

Here is Bill Arp's bit of wisdom
that fits every CLINE, every race, every
nation and all time: "Once 1 was
young, but now am old, and never
have seen girl Who went back on her
mother who ever came to be worth o
one-eyed button to her husband. It
is the Jaw OF GOO. 1t is not ez=s.!y
in the Bible, but it is written large
and lawful on the lives Of many misfit
homes. II one of you chaps sver run
across girl with face full OF roses,
who says to cou when you come to the
door: II cannot 60 for thirty min.
utes, for the dishes are not wiped" !"
you wait for that girl. Sit right down
on the doorstep and wait for her, be.
cause some other fellow will come
along aud marry her oR, aud then you
lose an angel. Wait for her, and stick
to her like burr on mules tail"

A Moderate Drinker.

At a meeting in large town in
Pennsylvania, at the cloee Of the lee
ture, gentleman arose, and was an
nounced as Judge So-and-So, Judge
&c The Quarter Sessions. He said
Ladies' and Gentlemen-Before the
audience is dismissed, wish to ssy
few words in defence Of myself and
the class I represent. Now. it is very
hard to have it publicly stated that I
have set bad example," The speak
er had not said that che moderate
drinker set Bad example, but that be
did not set good one. Now" said
he, 81 am moderate drinker.
Everybody Knows me. l take ny
glass at home, l take it abroad; l am
moderate drinker. Who dare say
anything against me? Whoever saw
me out Of the way by drink? If
young men followed my example, they
would be as | am, respectable and re-
spected. | Ichallenge the county TO say
whether my example is bad one.
Let young men follow my example,
and they will be as I am" A man in
the audience cried out, "Give it to
him, old mar, give il to him. Put a
header or him. Some one said,
"Put that man out" Another
gentleman said, "No! let that man re-
main. He is the only son of the
Judge" His own son tried to follow
his example, and there was the result.
He was so drunk that he would dis
turb respectable meeting. And I
tell you, sir, and tell you, madam,
every one, from the beginning, who
has become drunkard, has become 80
by trying to be moderate drinker and
failing-Exchange.

GODS OWN COUNTRY.
T. Saturday Evening Reverie.
Rev. Alex. w. Bealer, in Atlanta Journal.

You cannot trust love, for he has the
power to blind the eyes Of man and
make him see beauty in some female
that would put the witch Of Endor in
blush of shame and confusion.
Where then is Gods own country?
Listen, and will tell you. 1t is in a
country where men are at work, where
they arc contcntcd whether they have
banquet or crust. Where men
have, like The apostle Paul, learned
to be contcntcd in whatsoever state
they are. There is the trouble with
men to day. They are discontcnted.
Like some fiend Of hell let loose.
,, Hiscontent is roaming through the
word. He makes the Englishman
discontentcd with his home and he
must seek freshcr fields in foreign
land and once there, and not getting
rich, he looks back and sighs for the
joys he has left behind. He makes
the preacher in the North long for the
South and the one in the South long
for the mountains. lie makes the
farmer wish he was lawyer and the
lawyer long to exchange the stuffy
court room for the fresh air and wav-
ing fields Of the farm. He makes us
wish for that which is just beyond
our reach and we are unhappy when
we have it not.
Gods own country? All the coun-
try is His, for the eszth and the full
ness thereof belong unto the Lord.
Whenever man has surrendered
himself to the Lord and has come to
the conclusion that God knows best
what is good for him, viewing it not
as he 'oes from the standpoint of
time, 1t from the standpoint of eter-
nifty, that man is in Gods country.
1t is not the country but the man.
If any man, care not who he may
be, is trusting fully in the Lord, he
feels that his steps are ordered from
above and that God has led him to
the place where he lives. 1t may be
on the snow clad hills of New Eng.
land, the mountain sides of Virginia,
the busy streets Of New York, Chi
cago or Atlanta, it may be on the
plains of Texas, in the marshes of
Louisiana, among the everglades and
oranges Of Florida, or on the teeming
hills and blooming fields of Georgia.
that man, trusting fully in God, is at
home, in Gods own country.
Gods own country7 It may be far
From the childhood home In the glen
Gods own country? You'll find IT.,
friend,
In the land Of the trusting men.

A Story That Isn't Finished.

This occurred on the annual ex.
cursion Of the Board Of Trade, says
the Washington Star. The colonel
set out to tell story to group on
the forward deck Of the steamer.
There was lady down in Alex
andria who bought dog when she
was up in New York, and took it to
the hotel. Just as soon as she got it
to her room
At this point in the narrative the
whistle blew for the boat to land, and
the colonel allowed he would conclude
the story on the grounds. Some time
later the same group happened to
meet near the buffet, and the colonel
took up the thread of the story.
"Well, as I was saying, the lady
took the dog up to her room and just
then her husband came in and said
he would not have the dog around.
So she demonstrated
Here the dinner bell rang and the
colonel's auditors oil trooped off to
the shad bake. They said he could
finish the story after dinner. So, when
the cigars were lighted after dinner,
and the same group were sitting
around the lagoon, the colonel pro-
ceeded again.
$50 the husband ripped and stormed
around and allowed he wouldn't have
the dog in his room, and the lady
commenced to CRY, and thugs were
looking squally when y
At this stage colored show was
started in the pavilion, and the colo
nel's party left him again. The
party did not get together until on the
street car, after the boat landed on
the return trip They said the colo.
mel ought to conclude that story and
be went at it again.

husband did not let her have the dog

just then the conductor cried:

that story on next years e1eursion.

"What is lovc?" was the burning

alysis, which draws two people to-

Love" said the society woman,
"is the alliance of two families in
such q manner as to produce the
fcwest offspring and then cut the
greatest swath."
Said the psychologist: Glove is
that set of sensations which, find
ing their way through the affcrcnt
nerves, stimulate certain ganglionic
ccntcrs of the occipital portion of
the brain and extend up through
the higher areas Of cerebral con
sclousncss. 1t is purely subjective
in lis action, and, while it has no
regular synthesis, being extremely
diverse in all Of its aspects, it seems

Everybody Got Married.

Louisville, June pa mother 10 d
her two daughters were married today
and for an hour Magistrate Yelton
was busy performing ceremonies that
took three members Of one home in
Jeffersonville and added three to
Louisville's population.
Mrs. Edward Marsh Kraft, 81 years
old, became the wife-it being her
third venture-of George Whiteeburg.
Her daughters, Alma and Rosa May,
23 end 20 years old, respectively, were
married to Alfred Kopmeister and
Frank Burger.
Three months ago Alma told her
mother she v'es to be married in June.
Then she told her sister and the latter
admitted that she, too, had consented
to take the same step.
So arrangements were made for q
double wedding. Mrs. Kraft had a
card up her sleeve herself.
"We will just make this a triapgu-
lar affair" she said and told Of her
engagement to George Whitesburg, a
Louisville butcher.
1t was the original plan Of the moth
er aud daughters to be married with a
single ceremony, but Magistrate Vel
ton became confused and finally re-
quested that the tying be doae singly.

TURNER ON FARRELL
PAYS HIS RESPECT TO THE RE.
PUBLlCAN.DEMOCRAT.
Shows That The Republican Voter is Not
The Fool That Party Leaders Think ne Is.
James J. Hill the Owner Of the P..l.
Political Dishonesty.

Judge George Turner, the democratic
nominee for governor, excoriated the
republican state organization in an in
tcrview last week. The interview, which
was given out upon his return from a
weeks trip to the coast, is really the
opening gun of the democratic state
campaign.
Judge Turner did not confine himself
to the republican state organization. but
replied in specific terms to the attacks
which have been made upon him in the
railroad press, and branded as a falsehood
the asse, ton that he had ever called
American soldiers in the Philippines
"Mckinley's hired assassins." He de-
clared the Seattle Post Intelinger to be
the personal organ OF James J. Hill.
Judge Turner's interview in part is as
follows:
1.-THE dsafection OF the republican
voters is based on the twofold ground
that it is now apparent they have moth
ing to hope for at the hands OF theiI pre-
sent party organization in the mat er
OF railway regu' alton, and on the bold,
open and notorious domination OF their
recent state convention by agents OF the
railroads.
Having declared time and again in
their platforms in favor OF railway regu.
laiion, and thereby secured the support
OF the people, they now throw off the
mask, decline to make any declaration
whatever in their platform on the SUBJ
jects, and, by the character of their
nominees, to give it to be Enthusiastically
understood that they do not propose to
attempt regulation or control of the
great railway corporations Of the state.
''In effect this is to say to those pub.
lie instrumentalities: You may tax
the people at pleasure for the service
you pei form for them. and you may pay
the state such tax as you please for the
protection it gives to you by and through
It's laws and the executive power Of the
state government
Il do not suppose there was ever so
bold surrender of party integrity to
private and selfish interests as that made

MEAD CAN'T FOOL THEM.

Mead will not deceive many voters
with his empty, eyasive utterances. he
affects surprise that the people complain
OF railroad tax dodging; says in his
county everybody is satisfied (Which is
not true, and winds up on that question
by saying IF there arr any abuses the
legislature can cure them But he him
self has no opinion, much less ,onvlc'
ton, and in the next breath lie declares
that he will leave all those troublesome
matters to the eislatuie.
Again, he says IF there are any abuses
BY the railroads, it is not necessary to
90 outside the repub lean party to COR
rect them. lie will not say that such
abuses exist. Although he has been a
resid MT OF the state for IL years, and
has served one term in the legislature,
he affects entire ignorance OF the real
con dition in this state. More than that,
he publicly defends those recreant re-
publican legislators who violated their
party pledge by voti 9 ~ inst the COM
mission bill IN the session of 1908, offer
ing in their defense the shifty plea that
they were justified in their course because
their county convention had rejected
railway commission planks, and such re-
lection by political convention he re-
garded as equivalent to destruction
against the com miss on. In other words,
he declares that the defeat lf the railroad
commission blank in the Farrell state
convention at Tacoma was equivalent to
instruction against The railroad commits
sion, and then he has the effrontery to
tell the people that they should leave
this great reform question to him and
men VINO tnlnR anu act Hhe HlH, ahu
wear the railroad collar as he wears it.
Mr.. Mead will deceive only those vot-
ers who want to be deceived. He will
not fool any intelligent, sincere supporter
OF Governor Mcbride and the commission
cause.-Spokane Spokesman Review.
