EASILY COUNTED

A few years ago there lived in Thet-
ford, VT, man by the name of Scion
r. Berry, who was deputy sheriff for
many years, says the Boston Herald.
He concluded he would like to collect
the taxes. Accordingly he supplied
himself with ballots, and on arriving
at the meeting he selected man by
the name of Porter to help him. TAX
ing Porter to one side he disclosed his
plan to him and after bracing Porter

even though, as President Roosevelt
says, there is no written law for his
action there is an unwritten law that
will make that action justifiable in
the eyes of both God and man.
Mercy is an attribute to God himself,
And earthly power doth then show

When mercy seasons justice.

LEARN TO FORGET.

Do you think he cares for me?'
is the question that am asked
more often than any other.
AS a rule it means that the
man has grown cold and careless
in his attentions and that the
girl cannot bear to give him
up.
She clings to the last ray of
hope in the form of asking my
advice, trusting that l may be
able to console her.
It goes to my heart to have to
tell her to put him out of her
mind, and yet I know it is the
wisest course for her to follow.
1t is absolutely impossible to
rekindle the ashes of a mans
love.
To him the love is as dead as
yesterdays seven tn Gus n d
years.
With a woman it is different.
She may outgrow her love for a
man, but he will always stand
apart from other men, surround
ed by a halo of memory and
tender regret.
To try to hold a man when he
is anxious to go is the greatest
folly. He will 60 any way, and
she is a wise girl who accepts the
inevitable and sends him away
before he goes of his own accord.
There is not a girl in a thous-
and who cannot tell when a
mans interest in her begins to
wane.
It is natural to make an effort

When there is another girl in

loves labor lost.
/ know that the advice, TRY
and forget him." seems cold and
unsympathetic, but it is better
to cut deep in the first place and
avoid having to hurt a second
time.
Trying to forget is weary,
heart breaking work, but it can
be done, and at least you will
have the comfort of having
saved your pride.

You think that it will break

Work hard, fill<your mind with

in time you will conquer.
Pride will help you forget the
man who has forgotten you.
1t will be harder for you to
give up the man who, all I'M
worthy though he may be, still
pleads for your love. But you
must let him go, because sooner
or later he will neglect and
wound you.
Some day the right man will
come along and then you will be
very thankful that you have not
thrown your heart away on the
wrong one. -Beataice Fairfax.

OBITUARY..

One Of Adair county's oldest
and most respected citizens went
to her reward last Sunday even
ing when Mrs. Bette Wells pass
ed over the river of Death"
and went to that land from
whence no traveller ever returns.
Mrs. Wells was SO years old.
She was married in her early life
to Mr.. William Wells, and for
several years mas been living
with her daughter, Mrs. Eliza
Mckinley. She died in the tri-
umph..of a Christian faith. Her
funeral services were conducted
by Mr.. Nathan Murrell at the
home of S...McKinley and the re-
mains were taken to Russell
county, near Mt. Pleasant
Church, by a large crowd of rel
atives and friends.
The deceased left one daughter,
Mrs. Eliza Mckinley, and sew
eral grandchildren, all of whom
have the sympathy Of this COM
munity. Myrtle G.

NOVEL GROWTH OF TOBACCO.

The National Council of Hortl-
culture, through it's committee,
saws of the scarlet tobacco plant:
Zone of the flower novelties OF
last year which was successfully
grown by many experts is a to-
bacco plant which produces scar
let flowers, nicotiana Sanderae.
It is named for it's producer, an
expert of England. The plant
was originated by crossing two
South American tobacco plants,
one of which had white and the
other red flowers. The result
was a flower varying from a
light pink to the deepest red.
Planted in the foreground of a
border of the more familiar nico-
tiana affinis, which has white,
starshaped flowers of a wonder
fully sweet fragrance, a COM
bination of color most striking is
produced.
"A pleasing characteristic of
this tobacco plant is the flower
ing time, which begins at twi-
light and lasts until the hot rays
of the following day wither the
blossoms. Thus it is in bloom at
the time when it is most appre-
ciated by persons returning from
a weary days work. The plants
are easily grown from seed sown
on pulverized soil. Another meth
cd is to SOW the seed in shallow
boxes and transplant, when the
forth or fifth leaf has appeared,
to open beds.
This plant appears to bear
flowers all summer long, and
with ordinary care should sue
coed under a great number OF
conditions. 1t has been success
fully tested in England, Germa-
nv and the United States. 1t has
done we'll in sunlight and par
tial shade.

RATE LEGISLATION.

The railroad rate bill is still
the storm center in politics. The
Democrats generally, favor a
measure that would give ade-
quate relief to the people with
out doing injustice to the rail-
roads. The consolidation of
transportation facilities has
reached such a point in this
country that seven combinations
control practically all the rail-
roads and WELD such vast power
that the people are absolutely
unable to prevent abuses. The
Democrates want a law giving
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission authority to fix reason
able rates, and forbidding any
interference by the courts, or
such a limited court-review, as
will prevent the notifications of
the work of the Commission by
interlocutory court orders, and
leave the rates fixed by the Com
nilsson in full force until the
final hearing and decree in the
case. But a number of Republi-
can Senators insist on the broad
est possible review by the courts,
including the power to suspend
the Commissions rates by an in
terlocutory order or temporary
injunction before the final hear
ing. Judging from the debates
in both Houses, Congress will
hardly pass the bill without pro-
viding for some sort of court re-
view; but the Democrats will in
sist on limiting that power.

1t was eight years ago last
Tuesday since Admiral Dewey de-
molished the Spanish hulks in Ma
Mia bay, and at the anniversary
celebration of the event Admiral
Dewey took occasion to say that
the American people from day to
day will become more conscious
of the value of the Philippines,
and will never give them up.
There may be some personal
pride mingled in this estimate
of the stragetic and commercial
worth of the archipelago, but the
facts do not warrant the eXpec-
tation. The islands have already
cost the country more than they
will come to in a hundred years,
and the cost is still going on. In
the eight year since their posses
sion there is not much evidence
of a lively American trade with
our subjects, and the tariff re-
lations with them hardly indi-
cate a very sincere purpose to
encourage it. The truth is, the
islands have been and always
will be a burden, the returns
from which will never be realiz-
ed in commercial or beneficent
results. Stanford Journal.

ranged that they can all be connected
