ATTORNEY GENERAL MooDY's Mo-
TIoN.-A few years ago, before the
Australian ballot system was in use in
election primaries, Attorney General
william H. Moody, who was then a
lawyer in Haverhill, created no end Of
amusement by a remark that was i'm
mediaIely turned to joke and which
has chung to the cabinet member ever
since, according to the Boston Herald.
In those days the SLATE" was usual
ly made out before the caucus Of the
party leaders, and in this particular
case Bill Jeffers had been selected to
present the "slate" for the assembled
voters. 1t was new business for JEFF
fers, and he became a trifle nervous
when he secured the floor. He had
a list of names Of the delegates in his
hat, which he held in his hands as he
stood up to address the chairman. But,
in his nervous plight, he seemed un-
able to read the names, and stiffness
reigned for a few moments while he
endeavored to gain control of his vocal
organs.
Mr.. Moody was standing in the rear
of the room, and after some time had
been wasted by Jeffers in trying to
gain his power of speech, Mr.. Moody
addressed the chair, saying: Mr..
Chairman, I move that the list of
names in Bill Jeffer's hat be nomi-
mated" and it was, amid suppressed
laughter.

Aamuruas department.

He WAS ALWAYS A JUDGE.-A south
ern lawyer tells of a judge of a
county court who had many duties
besides his legal ones to perform, but
who never for an instant forgot that
he embodied the law" under all cir
cumstances. On one occasion this
Judge was acting as an auctioneer to
dispose of the stock of a retailer who
had died a short time before.
While the auction was IN progress
a certain bidder was the cause of a
disturbance that finally so exasper-
ated the auctioneer that he suddenly
assumed his character as a judge and
fined the offender in the sum Of $25
for contempt of court.
OF course, an application for the
remission of the fine was Immediately
filed by an attorney, on the ground
that there had been no contempt Of
court. The attorney maintained that
the Judge when acting as auctioneer
was not a court, and was not, there
fore, liable to contempt. The judge,
who heard this application with in
creased wrath, assumed every bit Of
dignity he possessed, and, glaring
fiercely at the attorney, said:
"Sir, l would invite your attention
to the fact that 1 am the judge Of
this county under any and all circum-
stances; am, sir, the judge from the
rising of the sun to the setting of the
same! And as such, sir, let me tell
you that l am always and everywhere
an object of contempt"

How DID HE KNow-YYette Gilbert,
the noted French actress, at dinner
in New York, had been complimented
rather awkwardly.
Your intention was not bad" said
the actress, good-humoredly, in her
quaint English. But you were awk-

reminded of a happening, a Partisan
happening. Listen. This is it:
"A Paris gentleman gave a dinner.
All the world was there. Jewels gilt
tered on white throats. Orders and
ribbons crossed white shirt bosoms.
In a word, elegance complete.
And after dinner, after the ladies
had gone upstairs, the men, over their
coffee and cigars and liquors, talked,
as men will, Of love.
"And all of a sudden the host cries,
in a loud voice:

Always Delivers
The Goods

There are hundreds and thousands Of
Life Insurance policies in force today
in the leading old line companies that
were issued from twenty to forty years
ago. Every one Of them will be paid
promptly and in full at maturity. In
buying insurance you should not lose
sight Of the fact that your policy may
not mature for 30 or 40 years hence and
that the most important consideration
to you Is the stability Of the company
and next the nature Of the guarantees
and the probable cost No company In
business has a larger per centage or
old policies than the Mutual Benefit.
No reputable company In business
guarantees as many valuable priv
ileges. No company In business has
record that surpasses that Of the Mu-
tual Benefit for conservativeness, econ
omy and large annual dividends. An
investigation will convince you OF these
facts. 1t Is always on the spot with
the goods. 1t has stood every test and
will stand all that may come hereafter.
II you insure in an untried and untest-
ed company and 1t fails to make good,
you will be the loser and have nobody
to blame but yourself because you have
been repeatedly warned of the import
ance Of using discrimination and look
ing before you leap.

How REED GOT EVEN WITH DING
LEY.-When the town of Brunswick,
Me-, celebrated, some years ago, the
150th anniversary of its Incorporation,
there was a big dinner, and Tom"
Reed and Nelson Dingley were pres
ent, and were, of course, called upon
to speak.
Dingley spoke first, and said in con-
clusion that he had made no prepara-
ton and would make way for a gen.
tleman who had come with a prepar-
ed speech, meaning Reed, who got
back at Dingley as follows:
Mr. Toastmaster, l am sorry to
begin an apology. Some time ago l
attended a celebration like this in Uni
ty, in Waldo county, and there heard
Gov. Dingley refer touchingly to Unity
as his birthplace. / afterward learn
ed that the governor was also born
in Durham, in the county of Andro-
scoggin, and l know that nothing but
my presence here prevents his claim
ing he was born in Brunswick, too.
And feel like apologizing for being
here, for it will hereafter be an honor
to have shared in the birthplace of
Governor Dingley.".

THE QUEENS REBUKE.-The Mon

the royal family, when the present
Queen of England was Princess of
Wales, and her children were quite
small. 1t showed that Queen AleXan-
dra is much like other good mothers,
and that her children are like children
the world over.
They were staying at quiet water
ing place, and were most happy when
they were out sailing on the waters.
Once on returning from short sail,
one of the little princesses was walk
ing up the plank. An old sailor in
stinctively said:
Take care, little lady"
The child drew herself up haughtily
and said:
I'm not a lady, I'm a princess"
The Princess of Wales, who over
heard the kindly injunction and the
rather ill-bred reply, said quickly:
Tell the good sailor you are not a
little lady yet. but you hope to be some
day."-Selected.

GASTON.

Gastonia Gazette, July 81: Gastonia
is to have within the near future an
establishment for the using up of
the waste created by the county's
many mills. The organization of
such a plant has not yet been per-
fected but it is understood that the
enterprise is a certainty. The prin-
ciple promoters are MeSsrS. Il. NJ.
FayssOuX, b. NJ. Holland and G. A.
Gray. The plant will have a capital
stock Of $4,000 all of which is with
in sight. There is sufficient waste
created by the cotton mills in and
around Gastonia to supply such a
waste mill and the building of such a
plant is considered a good paying in
vestment by experienced cotton mills.
1t is very probable that a meeting for
the purpose of organization will be
held this week. There was a
large crowd and good time at Old
Furnace Saturday. 1t was the occa-
sion of the annual picnic. There
were plenty of good things to eat left
after the dinner TO have another
great picnic. w There was a meet
ing i'm Greenville, S. c., last week be-
tween two brothers who had not seen
each other in fourteen years. They
were Prof. Jonas Nj. Costner, teacher
i'm the Institute for the Blind at Ra-
leigh, and Mr.. Jacob Costner, a well
known engineer on the Southern
railway, whose run is between Atlanta
and Greenville. The blind brother
was asked if he would have known
his brother Jacobs voice after so long
a separation. Probably not; had
met him unexpectedly at Raleigh
sometime, | doubt whether l could
have recognized his voice. There was
a certain hardness in it at first, which
came, l suppose. from his association
with the noises around his engine, but
after being with him Is minutes
caught the old tones and now l would
know him anywhere"

Halls clty camp suspended.

Because of the failure Of its clerk to
remit assessments to the Head Clerk,
the Woodman Camp at Falls City has
been suspended, pending settlement
OF the account. This order was sent
to Organizer v. P. Fiske in the form
of a telegram from Head Consul Boak
this week. Mr.. Fiske went TO Falls
City, Tuesday, and upon inspecting
the books OF Clerk G. v. Averill, found
that officer about $500 short in his
accounts. The amount will have TO
be made good by Mr.. Averill or his
bondsmen. Meanwhile, the members
will be protected in their insurance,
having paid their assessments in good
faith and received receipts therefor.
No fault attaches to the Camp, which
is composed Of some OF Falls City's
best citizens and has been making a
fiourishing growth. 1t is to be hoped
that matters will soon be adjusted and
that the Camp will be permitted to
resume business. Clerk Averill is
publisher of the Logger and is also
recorder Of Falls City.
