Resolutions.

Once upon a time there was a man
and a woman, and they were husband
and wife. On the first of the New
Year the husband wrote down dozen
resolutions which he was determined
to keep in the future. He was never
going to smoke again. nor to drink,
nor to swear, nor to lose his temper,
nor to oversleep, nor to accuse the
maid of taking things which he had
carefully hidden himself, nor to play
poker, nor to bet on the races, nor to
read anything but the profoundest
books, nor-but anyway his list was
a mile long and when his wife saw
it she looked disappearing.
Better just make one resolution
and keep that" she suggested. But
the man was determined that the re-
generation was to be complete, and
so he thought up more things. and
added those.
Now his wife was wise woman in
her generation. She made one reso-
luton, and she kept it. 1t was: 81
resolve to be patient with my hus
band and to treat him exactly as he
had human intelligence. She kept
it, as has been said, and the man
broke all of his the first month.

the forceful manner with which he
handled this subject. dwelling at
length upon the symptoms preceding
the attacks and their remedies.
Mr.. Van Alstyne followed with a
practical talk upon the "PrincipIes
of Potato Growing" This subject
was one of more direct interest to the
farmers Of Garrett county than any
other discussed, the potato being the
largest crop grown here.
In the afternoon session the SUBJ
jects, Crops that Improve the Soil, y
by DR.. Miller. and Care of the Or

MARYLAND JURIST IN MISSOURI
Former Garrettonian Elected the Sec
ond Time Chief Justice of Supreme
Court

Judge Theodore Brace, who has
just been elected chief justice of the
Supreme Court of Missouri, is a ma
tive of Garrett county, Md, and is
a cousin of DR.. Charles H. Brace, of
Cumberland. Judge Brace is one
of the few supreme judges of Mis-
souri, who has had the honor of
serving twice in that high office.
Chief Judge Brace administered the
oath OF Office to Governor Folk. He
was first elected chief Justice in 1895.
In 1897 he was succeeded by Judge
CAN'T. Chief Justice Brace is the
oldest member of the court in point
of commission. The office of chief
justice of the court of Missouri is Gre
ated by the constitution, but it is
chiefly an honorary distinction, no
additional salary being attached to
the office.
Justice Brace was born at Ryan's
Glade, Garrett county, Md. When a
youth he went with his parents to
Cumberland to reside. His father,
Charles Brace was a deputy sheriff
for this county and had charge of the
Jail when Quantrell was there. Judge
Brace went TO the Allegany County
Acadamy, having been schoolmate
of Mr.. Robert Shriver, president of
the First National bank, Cumberland.
He was clerk in the original Cum
berland Savings bank and while thus
employed he read law. He was ad-
mitted to the bar there in May, 1856,
and soon after left for Missouri where
he married and has since resided.

father, was chosen vice president, an

officials are rather indignant at a re-
port that the new Mallet compound
locomotive, the largest in the world,
had given out while in the service on
the Connellsville division, where it
is being used as helper between

The Future Of Battleships.

Owing to the large measure OF sue
cess attained by the Japanese torpe
do fotilla at the opening of opera
tions, there was an hysterical outcry
that battleships we're doomed and
that no more need be built. How
little foundation there was for this
Is indicated by the very small infiu-
ence the torpedo vessels had upon
subsequent operations. If the Japa-
nese fleet at Port Arthur had consist
ed only of cruisers and torpedo yes
sells, the Russians feet of battle
ships, cruisers and torpedo vessels
would undoubtedly have escaped. and
perhaps destroyed the Japanese
fleets. TIE Russian torpedo flotila
accomplished very little. So unless
there is a universal agreement to the
contrary, the battleships must be
built, even though one happens, now
and then, to succumb to the attacks
of the torpedo or submarine boats.

TASTE TELLS ONE LITTLE.

UnaesIsted by Sense Of Smell, Onlons
and Potatoes Arc Alike.
do you really think that you car
distinguish the tastes of potatoes and
onions?" was the unusual question
that Prof. Burtis Burr Breese asked
bis Psychology class at the University
u Cincinnati the other morning.
II have yet to see the individual
who could tell them apart when they
we're reduced to the same consistency
and when the sense of taste only was
used"
At this point Miss Luella Latta. a
member OF the class, showed some evi-
dences Of doubling, and the professor
asked her If she would not exhibit to
the class exactly how discriminating
, her sense OF taste was.
~ He explained that he did not have
the potatoes and onions on hand. but
that he had something far more dc
cided IN its taste and quite as familiar
to most people.
Then Miss Latta was asked to steI
up to the r0strum and when she was
seated Prof Breese told her that she
smust not breathe through her nose
that Is. she must rely altogether on the
taste and that he was certain she
would be unable to distinguish the
three things that he then proceeded
to give her separately.
She failed. quite as the professor
predicted. and he then told the class
that Miss Latta had not been able to
ten wintergreen from peppermint or
peppermint from cloves.
In fact" he said. none Of you can
tell the difference simply by the sense
o taste. The taste is aided greatly
by the sense Of smell. All you really
fsste Is sweet and sour. salt and bit.
