MARRIED LIFE
THE REAL THING

ITO be single is hell-married
life is the real thing" refleotiveIy
said Police Magistrate Luke j
Conuorton, in the Flushing Court
New York, the other day. A mo.
ment before heuttered this dictnm
the Magistrate had shown extreme
mercy to two Offenders who ccn-
fsssed. shune-faoedly. that they
were more than thirty years old
and unmarried.
"Of ten men, more than thirty
years old. who come before me,
nine are unmarried" the Magis-
trate continued. .Ali men who
wish TO succeed should marry;
there are few single men who are
truly great My advice TO men is,
marry young.
my advice to any girl is: IF
you are certain a Young man loves
you and he hesitates to pop the
question help him along to it.
Talk to hin about the advantages
of marriage and he will propose
and be grateful all his life."
You are single now, Judge,

But you are known all over

Man IS Human
| Barometer

Doctors at Cornell medical
school Il Rochester, N. Y, are
puzzled over the case of Warren
b. Ha lis, of Ithaca, and pro-
Inounce him one of the most re-
markable human freaks in the
world today. Harris changes
color whenever there are changes
in tmospheric conditions, vary
ing from light chalk gray
through light blue, violet into
ldeep purple. which causes observ-i
Eers who do not notice the Anglo
Saxon cast of his features to mis-
take him for a negro.

in Cory, Pa, and is % years of
age. Cornell doctors say that Har-
ris is what is known as a blue
baby They seldom survive the
first month after birth, and, Har-
ris is the only one who is known
to have lived more than three
months.
The chamaleonlike qualities of
Harris are due to congenitalde-
feet of the heart. This causes oxy-
gen starvation, and the effect is
like that of a man, choking black
in the face, or an invalid blue all
over his body from pneumonia.
Harris is small, being slightly
over five feet and weighing about
90 pounds.
Dispatches say that a warrant
has been issued for the arrest of
John D. Rockefeller, and that it
is just a plain, common warrant
such as is used for the arrest of
ordinary offenders. Since war
rants are becoming SO fashionable
in high circles it might be well to
get up one with few extra frills.

SUNSHINE AND
MOONSHINE.
Written By Governor Bob Taylor,
of Tennessee, in His Magazine,
Politics

Of Tennessee, In His Magazine,
Politics
Politics has its lights and ahad-
mostly shadows. The man
WHO wins at the. primary earns
his honors, and may the Lord
have mercy on the man who
loses. And yetit cannot be qnes-
toned that often the man who
wins is the loser, and loser Is off
en- the winner. The winner ought
to be a good Samaratin and the
loser ought to keep his lips closed.
It is hard for the man who tri-
jumps to repress exultation; tits
difficult tor the vanquished to
conceal his wounds. The victor
alone is worthy of praise, who
knows how to be generous. The
defeated alone deserves sympa-
thy, who knows how to suffer in
silence. This is true not only in
war but in politics. Grant never
boasted of his achievements; Lee
never paraded his sorrows; Nc
Kinley received his honors with
out boasting; Bryan accepted his
defeat without complaining. 1t
takes more courage to survive
the wounds of defeat than to
gracefully wear the crown of a
conqueror.,,
The philosopher in politics ac-
cepts defeat as the old man ac-
cepted the situation when he was
expelled from the ballroom. He
had too much of the "Oh, be joy
full" aboard and he staggered
down the street he heard the
sound of revelry in the ballroom
above; he found his way up the
stairs and saw the young 70 ks
wheeling aud whirling in the
mazes ofthe misty dance. The
old man got excited and tried to
lget partner, and when the ladies
all refused, he pulled off his hat
ann went galloping around the
ball room alone until he gallop-
ed into the arms of a couple of
men who ushered him to the top
of the stairs and gave him a push
and kick and he went revolv-
ing like a hoop down to the street
below. But t'truth crushed to
earth will rise again" He rose
and stood with his back against a
lamp post and looking up into
the faces that were gazing down,
said: "Gentlemen, you may be
able to fool some folks, but you
can't fool me. 1 know why you
kicked me down them stairs, you
didn't want me up there, that's
the reason"
A gentleman asked an old po-
litician in a recent heated cam
paign how he was running.
"Well, sir" the old politician
said. 81 will tell you a story to IL
Iustrate how I am running. An
old Texan was telling the preach
er in his town of his narrow es-
cape from death in a cyclone. He
said the cyclone caught him up
in the field where he was plowing
and whirled him far up in the air
and he accompanied by trees and
houses and planks and cattle and
mules-sometimes they whirled
by them, but the cyclone let him
down mile away into another
field unscathed and without a
scratch upon him. The old preach
er looked solemn and said. "Now
John. you are a sinner, but don't
you believe the Lord was with
you in that cyclon?' 81 don't
know whether he was or not"
said John, "but if he was with
me, he was a-goin' some.'
