BROWNS GOOD ADVICE

among the most sensible obserya-
tons made in the cattcn convention in
New Orleans this week was the follow
ing assertion by bon. J. Pope Brown,
of Georgia:
Our own worst enemies will be
found IN the ignoramus in our own
ranks, who had rather cultivate thirty
acres instead of fifteen, and sell twelve
bales of cotton for $500, rather than
sell eight bales fer $500; who would
rather buy corn at $1.25 per bushel
than make 1t for 40 cent?, who would
rather buy meat at 10 cents, than raise
it for 5 cents; who had rather buy
mule for 5000 than raise him for $75.
"This man must be converted Can
we get missionaries enough in the field
to do the work between now and plant.
ing time?"
Commenting upon Mr.. Browns re-
marks the New Orleans States has the
following:
Nothing could be more to the point
than this The experience OF the past
has shown that this class of cotton
planters has been the bane of the South
an enemy, not to the cotton pro-
Queer alone, but to the prosperity and
we'll being of this section. Frequently
before this time men of light and lead
ing among cotton producers have seen
clearly the great benefits that would
arise from the curtailment of cotton
production.
"They have endeavored to bring about
concert of action to the end that this
result might be obtained But the
selfshness of the ignoramus, as Mr.
: Brown characterizas him, has prevent
ed curtailment when it was needed
and has made twelve bales of cottor
worth less than eight bales ought tt

Astor's "stateIy Pleasure Dome"

The London Mirror tells of the ac-
tivities of our former fellow citizen,
w. w. Astor, in making a new
home for himself in England. 1t seems
that he has bought property described
as "the historic Hever estate in Kent"
and Is improving 1t.
1t includes 1000 acres of land and a
moated castle, nearly six hundred years
old, where at one time Henry VIII
maintained Anne of Cleves. On this
estate Mr.. Astor has put to work about
one thousand men, with due apparatus,
and is making changes rated as i'm
provements which the calculating ma
tives estimate will cost him a million
and a quarter pounds.
He is building a lake. a model viii
lage, roads, bridges and gardens, and Is
doubtless having a good deal of the
sort Of fun that Mr.. Kipling in re-
cent story has suggested as a suitable
recreation for tired Americans.-Har

The following is told of a patient, a

Ill, was sent to the hospital.
In the evening her husband inquired
how she was getting along and was
told that she was improving.
Next day he called again and was
told she was still improving.
This went on for some time, each
day the report being that his wife was
improving.
Finally one night when he called he
was told that his wife was dead. Seeing
the doctor, he went up to him and said:
''Vell, doctor, vat did she die of-im-
provements s?"-Harper's Weekly.

Mustaehe Guards

If nature had contemplated soup she
would never have provided man with a
mustache. That civilized man cannot
live without dining is undeniable, and
a good dinner is almost necessarily in
troduced by soup. But the average
male human being whose upper lip is
unshaven finds 1t very difficult to eat
his potage in neat and well bred man
ner.
To abandon the mustache Is almost
out Of the question, inasmuch as that
appendage is highly ornamental to the
masculine visage, making many a
homely man good looking and con-
tributing pulchritude even to the most
beautiful specimens in pantaloons.
The problem has furnished inspira-
tion to a number of inventors, who
during the past few years have applied
for patents on "mustache guards" of
various kinds. All of them are ingeni-
Gus, and, taken together, they show
that a vast amount of earnest thought
has been expended in the effort to pro-
duce a contrivance that will give hap
piness to the man with the hirsute lip
by enabling him to eat his soup grace
fully and comfortably.
Latest of the inventors in this line
is T. Ferry of Wilmington, Del. who
only a couple of weeks ago took out a
patent on mustache guard for which
one advantage claimed is that it may
be "easily carried in the vest pocket"
1t is a sort Of comb arrangement, and,
holding itself in place by pair of
springs at the sides, keeps the hairy
ornament up and out of the way of the
mouth.

"stuffed Cabbage" for Name

In Syria the names of children are
very odd. They suggest those of our
Indians, inasmuch as the child's name
is apt to be something which occurred
at the time OF it's birth-something
which interested the parents. For in
stance, If you were child of this
country your name in all probability
would be Stuffed Cabbage" or Hotel
or Civil War;" or something akin to
these. If a child falls sick his name is
Immediately changed. Instead of his
parents thinking that a piece of pie or
too much pudding disagreed with him,
they attribute his sickness to the fact
that his name did not agree with him.
When one understands what these
names are one does not wonder that
the child may have fallen sick because
of them.-Philadelphia Press.

Tears over Robson's Check

my father was a personal friend OF
Stuart Robson, the veteran comedian
now dead, and was fond of telling anec.
dotes of the man whom he considered
the greatest actor on the American
stage" said Louis G. Hammel to the
Milwaukee Sentinel. According to one
of them, Robson once sent a check for
$10o as a wedding present to a friend
who was to enter the hymeneal state
His theatrical engagements precluded
his personal attendance at the cere-
mony, to which he sent his daughter
as a representative of the family.
MY father was conversing with Rob-
son when the daughter came home
from the wedding, about which Rob
son asked many questions.
when your friend saw your check,
said the daughter, he was so over
come with emotion that he cried
$50 he cried, did he?' said Robson.
How long did he weep?'
"'Oh, about minute said the girl
"'Only a minute shouted the come
dian, with that curious squeak in his
voice that made him famous in the
character of BERTHE the Lamb, why, ]
cried half an hour after I signed the
thing"
Los Angeles herald., 1905-10-15

suggests the employment Of two little
combs, each of them provided with a
spring prong, which are fastened to the
mustache on each side.
Victor NJ. Law of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa, has designed for the same pur-
pose a pair of small cylinders, one of
which is clasped around each wing of
the mustache. He states that this
contrivance trains the mustache in
an upward direction toward the ears,
thereby imparting to the face a ray
and pleasant expression" The cylin-
ders may be made Of metal or hard
rubber.
Next on the list comes r. P. Hol-
linshead Of Morrison, ILL.,, who pur-
poses to employ piece OF sheet metal
which, covering the mustache, is held
tightly by elastics passed oyer the
ears.
Isaac Commons of PIqua, Ohio. re-
marks in his application for a patent
that "the mustache has grown in ia
vor of late years partly on account
the wearer." This seems to be a new
idea. He suggests spring clips, pre-
ferably made of watch spring steel,
which are fastened to the mustache on
either side. While interfering very lit
tie with the beauty of the mustache,
they transpose the consumption of
soup from a difficult task into a light
and luxurious pastime.
William P. Hellings of Aurora. Neb..
remarks that ut is we'll known that as
eating his food the distance between
the upper lip and the ears varies
slightly" Having regard for this i'm
portant fact, he provides his mustache
cover, which is a curved plate of silver
or gold, with a pair of spring hooks
that pass over the ears and permit a
certain play of expression while the
soup Is being swallowed
Last, though not least, is the mus
tache adJuster" invented by James
Joseph McCallum of Belleville, Can
ada. It consists of small comb and
Il couple of curly springs. When the
soup comes on the table the comb is
tucked neatly into the mustache, the
springs are pressed back into position
and the effect is decidedly tasty"
Mr.. McCallum says: THE user of my
adjuster may very conveniently at
meal time drink tea or soup or other
similar beverages without having his
mustache dripping and looking dis
gusting, as is common with gentle
men burdened with an excessive
growth of hair on the upper lip

The Latest ThInd

The craze for the latest thing still
continues, says Life. The newest book
the latest style, have first claim upon
our attention.
Obscurity has no more distinguished
guest than yesterdays newspaper.
A woman goes into a book store to
get something to read" High up on
the shelves, discretely guarded from
the dust, are Scott, Eliot, Balzac,
Shakespeare and other back numbers.
She shifts at them and rapidly ap-
proaches the counter where the new
est publications are on view.
Whats this?" she asks, picking up
a yellow and black affair rs this by
a new man? How long has it been out?
Is it good?
"Yes'm," says the clerk. Its excel
lent. 1t came out only yesterday, and
I sat up all night reading it. Taken
the country by storm"
The woman hurries away with her
prize. The style may change at any
moment.
Only one obstacle remains to block us
IN our search for the latest thing. We
have the same old people always about
lis. No matter how they are rugged
out, or what new conceits they may
furnish themselves with, their style is
ever the same.
There is nothing new in people.
Babies continue to be doubled up with
the old-fashioned collie. Stomachs are
still in vogue. 1t is true that some
effort has been made to predigest our
food, but the success Of this has not
been paramount. Boys are still boys,
and when they grow up they are still
men-or otherwise.
Some day some bright mind will get
out patent on tomorrow: and those
who can afford to pay can use it be-
forehand. Then doubtless, it will be
discovered that one day is Just like an
other, and that there is nothing new
under tho sun.

CONGRESSMAN IS
GIVEN SENTENCE
WILLIAMSON GETS 10 MONTHS
AND FINED $500
Former U. s. Commissioner 5Iggs Re-
eeIves an Equal Penalty, but
Van Gesner Gets Shorter
imprisonment
Rv Associated Press.

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 14.-John
Oregon for the second district, was
sentenced in the United States court
today to serve ten months imprison-
ment and pay a fine of $500. He was
lectured by the court for failure to set
a good example to others because of
his exalted public position.
Marion r. Biggs, former United
States commissioner, was taxed by the
court with a similar dereliction of duty
and given a similar penalty, but in the
case of DR.. Van Gesner, convicted OF
being a fellow conspirator to suborn
perjury, on account of age and feeble
health, the term Of imprisonment was
cut in two and the fine doubled. Ap-
peals are pending and a stay of execu-
ton was made pending further order
of the court. Meanwhile, Congressman
Williamson will go free on his own
recognizance, but a bond of $4,000 was
required of the other two defendants,
as during the trial Of the case AS the
term of imprisonment is less than one
year, the sentences must be served in
the county Jail.
When the time arrived for the Judge
to impose sentence, Judge Hunt asked
Williamson to stand up. With his
in color, looking the judge squarely in
the face, Williamson stood ready to
receive his condemnation. Judge Ben
nett, his counsel, interposed an OBJ
lection on the ground that his client is
a member of congress and the impos-
ing of sentence would interfere with
his attendance and conflict with his
constitutional rights. This was over
ruled.
"ATr Williamson " said Judre Hunt
"an Indictment was brought by the
grand jury charging you with con-
spiracy to suborn perjury. Your plea
of not guilty was entered and upon
trial you were found guilty. The time
has now arrived to impose penalty.
Have you anything to say before sem
tence is passed upon you?"
There was no plea for mercy from
Williamson. He answered in a firm
voice, grirnly, without shifting his po-
sition: II guess 1t has all been said,
Judge"

SUNDIALS IN FAVOR
Their Use as a Decoration Promises to
Become a Fad

Become Fad
LET others tell of storms and show
ers, I'll only mark your sunny hours" /"
is the tale cheerful refrain of the blith-
some sundiaL
The sundial is having a renaissance;
1t has come back in great numbers
with the revival Of the colonial style
Of architecture. All around the coun-
try places Of Philadelphia are the evil
dences of the sundiars popularity.
Standing where all the varying shad-
ows of the suns day fall upon it, the
instrument marks the passage of time
in a most poetic way.
The luxurious suburbanites who want
only what is perfect in detail have their
dials made of engraved copper; some
times the pedestals are made OF plain
white wood; sometimes they are made
of beautiful onyx. The curse of cheap
imitation has not overlooked them,
however for they are being used in
every style and every degree of cheap
ness by the mad followers Of a fad, so
that it> is probable that sundial fac
tories may soon be turning out the time
instruments by the cart load.
All along the Main Line and in the
beautiful grounds Of the estates on Old
York road are sundials now to be seen.
AS in the days pictured in the stories
of fact and fiction, the dials are placed
directly in front of the doorways or at
the entrance of the porte cochere,"
and fair maidens still sigh as they
watch the fitting hours. and await the
twilight, which brings the lover to their
side.
