PEANUTS AND COOLERS
Are Not the Same, Although Generally
 Considered So.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 There is difference between goobers and peanuts, though few people who use the terms are aware of it," MT. Leonard Drum, dealer in those commodities, in- forms me. Tn many of the states fur ther south all manner of nuts taking the form of peanuts are called goobers, which is mistake, and no more justified in fact than the action of the people of the north and west giving the name of peanuts to all manner kinds of goobers. Coolers are grown and peanuts are grown, but both are very much con fused in the popular mind in all sections of the country. Coolers are the large peanuts, if you will excuse such pecu
 liar definition while the peanuts are small and much more edible than the goober. It is more valuable, too, commanding a price on the market ranging from 15 to 25 per cent higher than the goobers. The con- fusion about them arises from the fact that they are of about the same general appearance, except for size, but one who tests the difference by taste will never forget afterward that the peanut proper is a sweet, eatble nut, while the goober proper is practically tasteless In this con- nection, do you know, the market value of both goobers and peanuts may be increased at least 20 per cent by a greater attention to cleaning the shells. The gen. eral public appears to judge the value of the nuts by the comparative cleanliness of the outer surface. If this is white, free from stains or dirt, people purchase them
 more readily and at higher price than they will the darker shelled nuts, rocking little, as they should, of the sweetness of the kernel inside. As general rule too, light brown shelled nut is usally sweeter than the one with an almost white shell. Millions of pounds of the edibles are an
 nually exported to Europe, and l presume a small quantity may be eaten as nuts by those who have had their tastes educated to the American standard, but as a gen eral proposition they are mostly used for extracting the oil from them, which is
 used as a substitute for olive oil, and a
 very good substitute 1t is, while the paste remaining is dried ground into flour and employed, particularly in France, in the manufacture of a bread of much sweetness and richness

SMART COW.
Acted as Ambulance and Carried In-
 jured Man Home.

Le Seur CMinn) Cor. Chicago Chronicle.
 Jeremy Wall, the hired man of T. T.. Yates, farmer of Sharon Township in this county had a strange experience on MT. Yates farm, about three miles from Mentone.
 He was at work in piece of timber half mile from home and more than a mile from any other house when a tree that he was cutting down split swiftly away from the stump as it fell and struck heavily against him, breaking his right leg below the knee.
 He was wholly unable to walk a step or to crawl on his hands and knees and he lay on the ground for long time wondering how he could get home where aid could be rendered to him. The fam fly had all been away from home when he went into the woods and he did not think they would have any idea where he was when they returned, and It began to look as though he might perish where he lay for want of help
 Suddenly bright thought struck him and he began calling loudly to the cows which were feeding not far away, the timber land being a part of the pasture. There was one pet COW in the drove a gentle animal named Sukey, and her in particular he called. After awhile she came over to where he lay and seemed to wonder much at his peculiar condition
 He kept on calling her till she finally came close upto him. and then he reached out his hand and took a firm grasp on her tail, twining the long, bushy hair about his fingers so that his grip could not loosen. He then told her to whey" and she did so, starting for home and dragging him head first on the ground behind her. his wounded right leg crossed over the left one and riding quite comfortably in that position. He had on strong denim coat that extended below his hips and kept him from being hurt by the rough ground which he had to go over in some places. although as a rule the journey lay across the smooth grass of the pasture.
 After drawing her burden three quar- ters of mile Sukey reached the pasture bars and could go no further and here few minutes later MT. Yates found his resourceful employe, who took him into the house and sent for a physician.
 The cows tail was so lame she could not whip mosquitoes with it, but they will keep her shut up in a darkened stall in the barn till her fly brush is fully rested

 etching:
 This new Messiah Is 57 years old. He is a little man, corpulent. He Is bald, but his face is covered with long, white. patriarcfial beard which extends up to his little. piercing, fascinating eyes in which can be read the instinct of doml- nation of a sly charlatan. His voice IS strong and clear, his words colored, and his discourse strewn with metaphors and biblical images, frequently, in imitation of the prophets, with imprecation and abuse His physical force and his mental activity are equally extraordinary. He works 20 to 24 hours at a time and com- pares himself to a new St. Paul.
 Congressman Landis desired to illustrate the absurd and perilous position of a poodle politician whose dishonesty had been exposed. says the Buffalo Enquirer.
 'There, before the crash came" he said, "the man stood tottering and swaying, pale and scared, and though I pitied him, I had to laugh at him because his posi- tion was so ludicrous.
 He reminded me of the Indianapolis barber who got drunk one busy Saturday afternoon.
 This barber. heavy with IS large, cold glasses of beer, lurched into his shop at the end of the ball game, put on his white coat, seized razor and began to shave a patron whom the apprentice had just lathered up.

Systems. Not Individuals.

Henry Watterson in Louisville Courier
 Journal.
 Inveighing against the rich is cheap and popular, but rarely effectual and sometimes reactionary We live under d government supposed to be ruled by public opinion. The lawmaking power, therefore takes its cue, theoretically at least, from the people. The denunciation of a Rockefeller may illustrate vicious methods and organize sentiment; but it Is with system, not with individuals, that the law has to deal.

 It is probable that the historic break made by Mr Muravieff when the judg ment of The Hague court in regard to the Venezuelan case was delivered cost him the position of peace plenipotentiary. The Russian newspapers were quick to recall this incident when his choice as a peni- potentiary was announced and to declare that a man capable of making such a mistake was not the man to whom peace negotiations should be intrusted, says Searchlight.
 M. Muravieff was president of the ar bitration tribunal which settled the Vene- zuelan difficulty. At the close of the pro- ceedngs, after the decision had been an- nounced he addressed the court, and in the course of his remarks he deplored the fact that its deliberations, which had been begun in an atmosphere of peace, had closed amid the first echoes of a terrible conflict. He added:
 This conflict Is a serious setback to the cause of progress In spite of the highest aspirations no nation is free from the danger of attack from an unexpected quarter War Is justfable only in self defense, where necessary to uphold honor or liberty, but just Providence will de- eide between righteous claims and mere frivolous pretensions.'
 This, of course, was regarded every where as slur on Japan and M. Mura- vieff was subjected to severe cricticism in neutral capitals The Japanese govern ment made a vigorous protest against The Hague tribunal being utilized for the expression of such views.
 Joseph Hornblend, perhaps the most celebrated courier in the old world, seems to recognize the majesty of American citizenship.
