A reporter of the J1MpnEcurE

city discussing the political situa-
ton, the following interview was
had. Mr.. Schluter was asked who
he was supporting for foater. He
promptly answered, l am support
ing Mr.. Louis P. Wilson, from
Harrison county. Are you averse
to giving your reason for support
ing him, he was asked; he said be
said he was not, and continuing be
said, l am supporting Hon. L. P.
Wilson for hoater, 9Th district, be-
cause, he has been my friend from
childhood, that he knows him to be
a good safe, reliable man; continu
ing he said he thought every voter
in Marion county should support
Mr.. Wilson because of his services
in the passage of what is known as
the Double Ballot Box Law" by
which the white people of Marion
county were enabled to take the
reins of the county governm ent
from the Carpet Bag rule that has
prevailed in this county since the
days of reconstruction. Before the
passage of this law, many of our
best citizens were prosecuted polit-
ically, and brought before the Fed
eral Court upon false charges of
violation of the election law. and
were thus annoyed and harassed
from time to time, until good men
were almost afraid to assist in
elections, fearing some false charges
would be made. Mr.. Wilson living
in Harrison county where like con-
ditions prevailed, framed, and as
a member of the legislature, succeed
ed in having passed the bill pro-
viding for double ballot boxes, one
in which federal votes were polled,
ando ne in which state and county
votes were polled; and since that
time there has been no more
trouble arising from federal inter.
ference in elections. This law has
been a blessing to our county, for
none of us who participated in
those stormy scenes and will never
forget them; we all remember that
many of our best people who were
brought before the federal court
and the marshal brought here to
intimidate our people. For this
one act Marion county is due Mr.
Wilson debt of gratitude which is
beyond price, Marion county now
has an opportunity to partially re.
pay the debt, and 1 trust the good
people of the county will not forget
it and prove to Mr.. Wilson that
we never forget friend in time of
need" The reporter having wit.
messed the scenes to which Mr..
Schluter alluded, recalled wildly
the times, scenes and excitement,
and could but say amen. Can Ma
rion county prove recreant under
such conditions?

TIPS IN JAPAN.
There the Innkeeper II Not Forgotten
when the Guest Goes Away.

There the Innkeeper II Not FORGOTTEN
When the Guest Goes Away.
IF our hotel keepers should ever be told
Of the Japanese method OF tipping we
would all have to take TO the woods" said
a Far Eastern traveller In a japanese hotel
you give the proprietor the biggest tip OF
all when leaving and grade the other tips
accordingly.
when your bill is handed to YOU IL IA
customary to wrap up in a separate piece
OF paper an amount apprOximating about
Ohe-hfth OF the whole account and give
that to the worthy ~innkeeper, together
with the regular amount required OF you
by his account, which you enclose in the
folded bill. Then you wrap up smaller
sums in smaller pieces Of paper and parcel
these Christmas packages out among the
servants h rave waited on you.
This tip to the bonlHace Is called choddi.
or tea money. and the japanese explain
its usage after this manner Of reasoning:
IAN hotel charges in Japan are forced
by law to be very low, 80 that even the very
poor man who finds himself on the road at
night can get food and shelter for a nomi-
ma! sum. The rich man has to pay no more
han the beggar.
Since the hotel man could not make
a living II this order Of things were al
lowed to exist, without some saving grace,
HOme oompense must he made To tie hotel
ieeDer for his enforced generosity. There
fore II a guest can well afford to give The
host something more than he asks he not
only provides for those less fortunate than
himself, but he tends himself against the
evil day when he may have to ask a begRar's
board and bed. II IL not charity to the inn
keeper, but merely provision against pOssi-
BILE hard times.
But II a man whom the worthy host
believes TO he well able TO AFFORD a gem
erous chOddi leaves the hotel without paw
ing the same. woe betide him should he
ever rekurn to that hosiery again. He
will get last chance At the communal bath
tub, will get the most draughty room in
the house and In q hundred ways b made

COREAN GHOSTS DAMNED.
Precautions Taken TO Prevent SpOOks From
Running Down Fill.

In this age OF spooks and d~isembodied
influences that swirl and gibber about the
heads OF unseeinR mortals in fiocks in
structive light upon the care N culture
OF spirits may be gained from the Coreans.
These people dam up the walls Of their
tOmbs SO hat the spirits of the dead may
not run down hill and thus become a terrible
menace to the living.
A COrean chooses always for the site Of
a tomb some steep hillside, high above
the floor of the valley, that the imps Of
darkness coming up through the middle
Of the earth may have a hard climb up
hill after they have emerged from the
ground before they reach the burial place
Of the deceased.
The tomb closely resembles a saucey
with the cup inverted and set down in its
middle. The edges of the saucerlike dixie
about the central circular mound are raised
sometimes to the height of four or five
feet and carefully turfsd so as to. resist
tie washing effect of the winter rains.
Thus the spirit OF the deceased, buried
deep under the central mound, IN eTectually
damned in and new ed up by the encirclinE
wall Of earth.
II by chance during food time the re-
tanning wall Of the tomb should give way
and be carried dow hill the faithful Corean
son or brother Of the deceased hurries out
with his wooden spade and rebuilds the
dam as speedily az possible. He fears lest
the restless spirit within the tomb should
be washed down hill with the earth and
then the lives Of all the living kin would
be forever blighted. For nothing is so
horrible in Corea as a spirit that has es-
capped its tomb and wanders in vengeTul
mood about the habitations Of the living.

THE AUTO TO AN OLD FOGEF.
Definition Constructed by an Aged Pro-

DEFINITION Constructed by an Aged Pro-
fessOr and Rejected by Publishers.
An aged professor of a fourth rate college
has recently collected a list OF newly coined
words with their definitions. Like every
thing else that the professor has written,
1t has not yet found a publisher. Perhaps
the failure of this attempt at dictionary
making will be clear by taking the deRni-
ton OF a sample wOru, automobile" 1t
is az follows:
Derivation; from the Anglo-Saxon words,
ought and 10: combined with the Latin,
mObiiis; meaning. ought to be mobbed.

a horse and waRon-withOut the horse.

times OH two when running on two IL is not

Like u wagon. you can put anything in it,.
from a cabbage head to a millionaire. 1t il

speed.
A wa gOn rum over people, an

man may be run over several times in his life
by a wagon, but never more than once by an
automobile.
Like a wagon. 1t has q crank: a crank in A

in an automobile increases it.

Saloons pay for the privilege of taking human
life so do automobiles, but not much. Both

but they do the same thing over again.
A Judge will not close saloons because he
likes whiskey. Most judges ride in auto

generation. When men have become accns-
toned to their ways. they will like them better.

the TASKS were exactly alike. Truly Madame

She had almost decided to hide both

And then, choosing at haphazard, she
hid the silver flask behind the mirror and
put the gold n in her pocket. Afterward
she picked up the lamp and walked as
silently az possible through the short pas
sage eoMonsieur Jules's bakeroom.
The big place was still and dark and the
little lamp Frightened only a small part
OF it. But Madame did not care for that.
Those pains were getting extremely hard
TO Dear and she had even ceased to care
whether or not she had selected the right
flask.
Taking a brown bowl from the shelf
she drew it nearly full Of water and then
placed it upon a corner of the long, white

How much did the Arab say to put in the
waterp' she wondered, pausing in per-
picked thought. Il declare, I've actually
forgotten! But he said il was sure to cure
me, so l may as well use all the flask con-
tainst. For, after l am cured. l shall not
need any more Of it,"
Reasoning thus, Madame removed the
stopper and poured into the bow every
drop Of that precious elixir which Ali Dubh
had priced more than life itself, and which
his wild oountrymen had come all the way
from Arabia to America to possess. For
generation after generation the priceless
liquor had been preserved with jealous care,
and now the bakers wife was rubbing il
upon her limbs in an endeavOr to cure the
panRs OF rheumatism!
She used very little of the contents OF the
bowl. after all. The touch OF the elixir
upon her skin, although IL was diluted with
so much water, sent a glow Of exhilaration
throughout her stout body.
The pains we're suddenly eased. and
Madame began to feel az light and airy as u
fairy, in spite Of her great mass Of flesh.
1t occurred to her that she would like to
dance; to run and shout. 10 caper about as
she used to do as a girl. Bit soon her shrewd
common sense returned. and she told her.
self this was but the effect of the wonderful
medicine, and that the wisest thing that
she could do was 70 go to bed and sleep
soundly while she might.
Being still somewhat b~ewildered, the good
woman picked up the lamp, and, leaving
the bowl containing the elixir standing
upon the table, MOUNTED the stairs with
lighter steps than she had known in years.
Five minutes later she was in bed snoring |

SYRACUSE SCHOOL CHILDREN
MUST WEIR GLASSES

SYRACUSE. y. /. May 17.-Pour pa
pills have been excluded from the city
schools because they won't wear spec
tacles. Their parents have refused 10
get glasses for them, saying that they
don't need them.
The city administration. having been
informed by the medical inspectors Of
the schools that some children who
needed spectacles could not buy them
for lack of money. established a fund
for this purpose. and now no pupil in
a public school need go without glasses
because the parents are poor.
Many children have been supplied with
glasses. but four. whom the medical in
spectors say need glasses, have been
forbidden by their parents TO wear them.
even If the city does pay the cost. and
therefore the children have been told
that they cannot attend school
