1t is rumored that President Mccall,
of the New York Life Insurance COM
pany has resigned and will take a
trip to Europe and remain in the old
country for a long time. How these
big fellows, when they get into trou-

how distasteful the United States be-
comes TO them! But, they should not
blame the country for what is plainly
their own wrong doing.

Character in the Tongue.

Germany has taken up the pastime
of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. Somebody has
been making study Of the organ of
speech has discovered that it is full of
indications.
A long tongue is said to denote open
ness of character. 1t suggests gener-
osity and free handedness. It's pos
session make friends and enemies
easily, but doesn't save money.
When the tongue is long and thick
the openness degenerates into a ten
dency to gossip and scandal. The
future of the owI ~ is beset with
troubles of his own making. 1t also
indicates fightiness and inconstancy
Short tongues indicate secretiveness
and dissimuIation. Their owners make
good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some money
by economy and guile, but has not
largeness of spirit to make a great
fortune. Very thin pointed tongues
are found in difident people who do
not succeed in life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehood; the person who
has such tongue is compelled by it
to deceive and b etray, whatever effort
he may make to keep straight.
The vibrant, quavering tongue de.
notes the artic temperament. Brill.
ant carmine hue is sign of long life,
pale pink tongue denotes both weak
ness of character and delicacy OF
constitution.
''If it's all true" says a German
newspaper, sit is lucky that it is only
at the doctor and not at our friends
that we stick out our tongues"

We would Like to call the attention
of the city government to the eondi-
ton of the streets in the town of Lex
ington. On every side there is room
for improvement. The sidewalks are
full Of rocks, roots and other obstacles
which the travelling public comes in
contact with after night fall. We
notice, also, that every little rain
finds a place to puddle waterremains
in the streets and it is almost impos-
sible to cross from one street to the
other without having to wade through
mud and water. These seonditions
should be remedied at once. The
time for sleet and snow is here, aud
unless the drains are opened and the
streets and sidewalks elevated to a
g rtain degree, mud and water will
be found onsevery side, thus making
it impossible to stand on dry ground
anywhere. We mention this not be-
cause we are born hckers, but having
the best interest of the town at heart,
we feel that it is but just and right
that the mayor and aldermen should
take this matter in hand and have
these conditions remedied.

Wednesday, November q. 1906.

The Press of ithei State seems to
have gone into rapture about the
coming of the immigrants in the
Wittekind last..week. We confess that
our foggyism does notpermit us to be
thrown into ecstasy about the matter.
We are willing to watch this expert
ment, and to hopeythat it may result
in all that is expected Of it by its
promoters, but3welare not going into
FITS about its success until we have
some assurance that it is real sue
cess.
We have no objection to reason
able flow of desirable immigrants into
our midst, but we want these people
TO come here fully realizing the con-
dition they are to contend with, and
without having false hopes raised in
their minds by over jealous immigrant
agents. The movement to succeed
permanently, must be laid in true
representation to these people of our
conditions, our scale of wages and all
that.
May be, the coming of the Witte-
lind means the solution of our labor
problem, each day becoming more
and more Yexed, and may be, itmeans
the beginning of all kinds of socil
economic and political ills of which
we are now eomparativelyssfree.
