No Wsapon. Rsnuirsd.


The railway platform at Heidel-
berg was crowded with hurrying
people of many nationalities, but
the American traveller from Con-
necticut, who was trying to reach
his family, felt that one man push
ed against him with unnecessary
roughness.
"See here" he said, turning on
the offender, "you stop jostling me
that way"
He had hardly expected his words
to be understood, but the young
man whom he had accosted drew
himself up baughtily and said in
excellent English, tinged by slight
German accent:
81 am at your service, sir, at any
time aud place"
"Well, now, that's something
like it." said the traveller, hooking
his arrn into the naughty young
mans. "You carry this grip Of
mine and take me to good hotel.
You're just the man I've been look
ing for and didn't know how to

GOV. HARRIS.
Sole Survivor Of Ohio
Senate of 1867.

Governor Harris received this
telegram from II. Clay Drinkle of
Lancaster, Saturday morning.
"The death of william Warner
yesterday leaves you the only
surviving member of the Ohio state
senate, 1907"
Mr.. Warner had been living in
Alabama for years, and was one
of the pioneer statesmen Of Ohio.
The records show that he repre-
sented the Licking county district
in the state eenate in lSi4-5, aud
was sent back for two more terms
in 1867, when Andrew l.. Harris
now governor of the state, repre-
sented the Preble county district
in the senate.
Governor Harris still remember
cd General Warner well and was
deeply affected by the news of his
death, which carried his mind back
to the days of 40 years ago. War
ner was also general in the army
so that he and Governor Harris
were not only colleagues in the
fortunate debate, but served as
comrades upon the CORY fields of
battle.
Governor Harris was II years
old week ago today, and General
Warner must have been close to
30 years of age. He was first
elected to the senate go years ago,
and he must have been 2l years
Of age when he was elected to Of
flee, SO that he was past S3 years
OF age when death occurred and
probably much older
Mr.. Drinkle who sent the tele-
gram to the governor was page
boy in the Legislature during the
sessions 1867, and has kept track
of the passing away of the states

WINNING COURTESY.
The Charm and the Wisdom of the
Art of Saying THANK YOU"

The Charm and the Wisdom of the
Art of Saying THANK You"
The art of saying ''Thank you" is
one of the most charming accom-
plishments any one can acquire.
Unfortunately it is lost or forgot
ten art with many otherwise well
bred and lovable individuals, and it
is a pity that SO many find it such
difficult task to frame these two
simple words. Too many take any
courtesies or fayors which may be
extended entirely as matters of
course. Maybe we said "Thank you
or its equivalent very heartily and
sincerely the first time the small
boy next door did an errand for us,
but as the small boy continued to
run our errands and with the ut
most willingness apparently We
gradually got into the habit of ac-
cepting his courtesy as matter OF
course, and after little we never
thought it necessary to thank him
or only did it pertunctorily. In
deed we probably began to think our
willing neighbor could do our err
rands just as well as not, and it is
not at all unlikely that We should
bitterly resent his refusal to do so.
The least any one can do is to say
"Thank you for favor or courte-
sy, whether extended by those with
whom we come into daily contact or
by strangers.
The most disagreeable people inn
aginable and the most selfish and
disgusting are those who take any
thing at the hands of another with
out showing any appreciation. True,
most courtesies are extended with
no hope nor desire for remuneration
or appreciation, but nevertheless
every person ought to consider it a
bounden duty to give tangible ex-
preston of his appreciation for
courtesies or fayOrs, no matter how
small. Even a eur will wag his tail
ut kind word or pat of the hand,
Why should humans do less? Ney-
ertheless this art of saying "Thank
you" is not at all common, and there
are people who will take any service
or gift without word, or per-
chance OH great occasions they will
unbend far enough TO utter a grunt.
Sad to say, it is not unusual, with
shame be it said, to run across per-
sons who are not a bit shy about
finding fault If you don't do enough
for them. 1t is a wise policy to
cultivate due appreciation OF fa-
yors and to learn to give audible
expression to them. The practice

DEMOCRATS
Start a Crusade Against
the Liquor Interests.

The Franklin county Democrats,
who were double-crossed by the
brewery and saloon interests in the
last election have declared their
intention Of inaugurating n cam
paign for the enforcement of all
the laws against the saloons.
They will demand as en- organiaa.
tion that the midnight closing law
shall be enforced, that there shall
be no saloons open on Sunday,
that saloonkeepers who sell liquor
to minors shall be vigorously
prosecuted, that the women's
wine parlors shall go; in short,
that saloonkeepers must in the
future obey the State laws and the
city ordinances the same as any
other citizen.
The sentiment against the
brewery combine is very strong.
1t is made clear to every one that
the brewery and saloon people
had knitted the Democratic ticket
from top to bottom IN order to
carry out their deal with the
Dick Foraker sentorial combine
and give every possible aid to the
sentorial machine.
"The brewery saloon crowd
have made monkeys Of us, said
one Democratic leader, and we
are certainly good and weary of
having to bear the odium of being
friendly to them while they give
their votes and money to the Re-
publican machine and defeat our
party candidates.
This Democratic movement
against the brewery interests is
widespread throughout the State,
but nowhere is it so intense as is
Franklin county. The brewery
saloon crowd is badly frightened
and since the election mas made
several efforts to patch up the
trouble but without success.
The Democrats are going right
ahead in their campaign for
law enforcement. They say the
first move will be to close sa-
looms on Sunday and the enforce
ment of the midnight closing law.

SENATOR TILLMAN
Will Speak in Chicago
Whether or no

Chicago, Nov. "a Senator Till
man of South Carolina, passed
through Chicago today on his way
to Sonth Haven, Mich. When in
formed that the colored people of
Chicago had protested against the
delivery of lecture by him in
Chicago, he said:
81 am surprised that there
should be any talk in this city of
negro uprising to prevent lee
ture, which is for the benefit of a
hospital, which has never yet closed
its doors to one of the colored
race.
cit Is absurd for the colored
people to think that they can pre-
vent a senator of the United States
from talking. They might as well
try to stop President Roosevelt.
l shall not change my lecture in
the slightest degree. The subject
is 'The Annexation of Cuba, and

this duty. Their work was thor
oughly done, and last night Mayor
Badger and Police Captain Dyer
expressed their cpmmendation in
strong terms.
There were as large crowds in
State and other downtown streets
yesterday as a week ago and their
efforts to get something to drink
were even more futile than on the
first dry Sunday. The usual alley
to-alley trips, except in isolated
instances, brought no comfort to
the distressed.
The Epworth League of the
Broad Street M. T.. church last
night adopted strong resolutions
of comm andation for Mayor
Badger. Similar action was taken
by the Mt. Vernon Avenue NJ. Il.

Cincinnati warmly commended the
his order and its effect on

The first three arrests of saloon
keepers came in a bunch, and for
a time the patrol wagon was kept
busy. Then it slackened, and

after 8 o'clock last night the "lid"
was sealed.

claw is Plain; Must Obey

"The law is plain; i cannot
change the law even il / wished
to, and do not, and all you have
to do is to obey it," was the re-
mark of Mayor Badger to Z. ID.
Connolly who has saloon on Den
nison avenue.
Connolly, who is commonly
known as "Pod," with Dick Evans
and William McDevitt, had called
to see the mayor in regard to run
ming the "Hickory" club on Sun
days. They told what they want
ed, and his honor's reply was very
brief.
In substance it was that he
would not change his order abont
Sunday, for the order was issued
to stay; that these men knew the
law and would have to obey it,.
One of them remarked as he
went out. "We'll have to quit it
then"
Before their call upon the
mayor Connolly had been to see
the city solicitor in reference to
a suit he had against Sergeant
Wolfel.

INVALID HEROES.
Great Men Who Did Great Things In
Snite of lnfirmitv.


A record Of the magnificent
courage of the worlds invalid he
roes is Sophia 7. Shaler's book,
"The Masters of Fate" One of
these heroes was Green, the English
historian, who could sign himself,
Faithfully (feebIy, weakly, dizaily,
mopily. family, dreamily, duly, }.
II. Green" Another was Robert
Louis Stevenson, who wrote, 81 am
about knocked out of time now; a
miserable, snufiing, shiyering, fe-
yer stricken, nightmare ridden,
knee tottering, hoast t-hoast- -hoasting
shadow and remains Of man.
But" continues Stevenson, "the
medicine bottles on my chimney
and the blood on my handkerchief
are accidents. They do not color
my view of life" 1t was an octo-
genarian United States senator who,
when asked for rules for longevity,
replied, acquire a chronic ailment
in youth, and nurse yourself
through life--and work" Kant
furnishes lesson of this kind. AL
though the great metaphysician was
never entirely well, he performed
prodigious amount of intellectual
work and lived to be eighty years
of age. "He obtained such control
over his discontinue" writes Mrs.
Shaler, "that when suffering from
pain in his head he could concen-
trate his mind so perfectly on a
chosen subject that the pain was
treated as il it did not exist. BY
sheer force of will he would also
overcome sleeplessness, caused by
rheumatic attacks. That these he
says, were not imaginary pains was
proved by the glowing redness
which was seen the next morning on
the toes of my left foot"
That pitiful account which John
son gives of Pope's physical condi-
ton rests upon the authority of an
old servant of Lord Oxford, who
knew him after middle age. "He
was then so weak as to stand in per-
petual need of attendance. He was
extremely sensitive to cold, so that
he wore a kind of fur doublet under
u shirt of coarse, warm linen, with
fine sleeves. When he arose he was
invested in bodices made of stiff
canvas, being scarcely able to hold
himself erect till they were laced,
and then he put on a flannel waist
coat. One side of his body was CON
tracted. His legs were SO slender
that he enlarged their bulk with
two pairs of stockings"
Great soldiers have borne affiic-
tions they could sneither overcome
nor avoid. Some of the worlds
foremost commanders-Julius Gaze
sar, Napoleon, the Duke of Yelling
ton and Archduke Charles of Aus
tria--appear to have been epilep-
tics. At the battle of Wagram the
archduke, it is said, had seizure
which lasted about an hour. 1t was
then that Napoleon gained the as
tendency. At the critical moment
the fate Of two great armies was in
the hands Of two epileptics. Cam
byses, the conqueror of Egypt; AL
fred the Great and two of the great
est poets of Europe-Tasso and
Byron-were subject to this disease,
as was also the prophet Moham-
