WAS PLlNY THE AUTHOR?
Chicago Tribune.)

Concerning the controversy as to
the authorship of the "fooling the peo-
pie" epigram, which The Chicago
Tribune and the Brooklyn Eagle would
like to determine, after considerable
investigation it would apear that Lin
coin never uttered the thought in the
alleged worls, though he may have
used the expression in substance.
Thorough investigation fails to reveal
the phrase in any record of his
speeches.
P. T. Barnum, the Snowman, wrote
his autobiography about the time Lin
coins star was rising, and though re-
Gently the epigram has been credited
to Barnum there seems to be nothing
to verify the assertion. Barnum did
say the people liked to be .--lmbugged,
and such an idea may have led re-
sourceful mind to evolving the asser-
ton in question; moreover, this seems
to be an epigram common to Lincoln's
forcible style of expression, and so tie
public generally has come to accept
Lincoln as it's author.
Not a few of our memorable quota
tions, accepted as true and appearing
in books, magazines, and newspapers
and in public addresses, are erroneous,
but authors and speakers have fallen
into the habit of acceptance, and so no
one seems to doubt ter accuracy,
much less does one care to investi-
gate their origin.
For instance. Oliver Wendell
Holmes has numberless times and on
various occasions been quoted as say
ing in substance that the proper time
to begin the training of a child is 100
years before it is born. Yet it is be-
lieved that nobody has ever come
across the expression in any of the
published works of DR.. Holmes.
The writer's belief as to the origin
of these utterances which have been
credited to Lincoln or Barnum in the
one case and to Holmes in the other
is that the epigrams were made in
private conversation or writing, or at
least outside of public functions.
There is no reason why any popular
quotation is to be accepted as true
merely because reEeated as quota
ton by people CT literary standing
"To err is human,'. and none is in
fallible.
suggested thought on fooling the peo-
pie are contained in Shakespeare md
other authors, yet Pliny the younger,
about 1900 years ago, came the near
est in statement of like import, but he
used the term deceive" instead of
fool" PliI.y said, as translated. "No
| one has been able to deceive the whole
world, nor has the whole world ever
deceived any one"

Dear Sir: The usual way to buy paint
is to take the lowest price by the gallon.
Mistake; the buyer loses by it; how
muchp Depends on the paint; it is so
much gallon, or 80 much year. How
much gallon or year, do you think? AS
much, perhaps, as the total price of the
paint. 1t may take twice the number of
gallons.
N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y, owns two
houses, both exactly alike. He painted
one with Devoe and one with another
paint. Devoe 8 gallons; the other IL.
Go by the name: Devoe. There's
nothing cheaper. Go by the price;
there's nothing dearer, except not paint
ing at all. Poor paint is better than
none.
What does it cost not to paint at all?
Can't figure it out exactly; say tenth
of the building year, besides looks.
What is poor paint worth, then? Don't
know and don't care; you don't want it.
Go by the name. Yours truly,

Red Hot Pointers from Dr.. Nlso.

DR.. John G. Kilgo preached at
Main Street Methodist church, Dur
ham, N. c., recently and his sermon
has excited great deal of comment.
The speaker compared the church as
the bride of Christ and said that the
way the society-going fold did in
serving the devil and the world for
three hundred and twenty days in
the year and then stop forty days be-
fore Easter and say they would serve
God for forty days and give up some
pet society idea was hypocrisy and
blasphemy in the sight of God. He
touched on the social equality ques-
ton and said that some people hold
up their hands in holy horror-some
society leaders-and yet their chill
dren hardly know their mother. The
little ones, he said, are allowed to
remain in the arms of negro wo-
man, allowed to breathe and live in
her society, while the mother il
dressing and running around, not
giving any time to the children, be-
cause they are too much trouble. He
said that in these latter days many
considered it disgrace and shame
to do the duties of mother anc
home-keeper. He thanked God tha
his mother was not a society woman
and that the mother of his children
was not a society woman.

dictment handed us by the Solicitor.
2, We have, by committee, visited the

mates--22 whites and oolored. ALI seem
to lie well pleased aud properly cared for.
We also find tho farm in proper condi-
tion. We recommend that an addition
be made to the barn.
3. We again call the attention of the
County Commissioners 10 the well-nigh
impossible condition of the public road
through the plantation of Capt. Jas. T.
Reid, on Cane creek, in Seneca township.
We recommend that the same be given
their imm ediate attention.

had hitherto been carried on on
small scale because of the difficulty

had hitherto been carried on on a
small scale because of the difficulty
of getting cotton yarn strong enough
for use in Lees spinning frame.
Samuel Reed, of Nottingham, and
Jedediah Strut, of Derby, manufac-
turers of hosiery, were Quickly to see
the advantages they might derive
from Arkwright's machine; and in
1771 they took him into partnership
with them. The yarn made by Ark
wright's machine was also suitable
for other kinds of goods, but the
manufacturers of Manchester refused
for some reason to use it. LII 1878,
therefore, Arkwright began to make
wholly cotton fabrics on his own ac-
count. The introduction of the
manufacture of all cotton fabrics
marked an epoch in the history of
the industry Of England and of the
world.
Meantime Arkwright had been
working on various improvements;
and IN 1775 he secured a second
patent which covered all the inn
provements and readjustments he
had made in cotton spinning ma
chinery. 1t was most compre-
hensive patent. "In BRIEF" as has
been said, cit was a patent for a
cotton factory"
Something more than the ingenuity
of the inventor was requisite for the
management of the large affairs in
which Arkwright was now becoming
concerned. Organizing and execu-
tive ability of the highest type were
demanded. The former barber and
vender of hair rose to the occasion.
The factories of his firm and
his own factories after his part.
nership with Reed & Strut was
dissolved in 1882, were models.
Their machinery worked perfectly
and the men and women in then.
worked like machinery. Until 1885
horse and water power were used in
the cotton factories. In that year
the use of Boulton & Watts steam
engines, which we're just being
brought to perfection, was begun.
Between It'll and ITS the annual
imports of cotton into England were
100000 pounds. Between 1886
and 1870 they were 25,000,000
pounds annually. In 1871 England
began to export cotton goods.
Arkwright was more fortunate
than many inventors have been. He
built up a large fortune. In 1876
the man who, eighteen years before,
had been so ragged he would not go
to vote unless somebody bought him
new suit of clothes, had attained
such high political and social posi-
tion as to be appointed high sheriff
of Derbyshire; and in the same year
he was knighted by King George III.
He died six years later. S. o. d.
