one day making a speech in which he

ment he broke In with Pardon me.

Before he could finish the governor
replied: "Well, I've pardoned lots
worse fellows than you in my time
and l presume il would be unjust to
draw the line here"

"there was a tenderfoot who struck Il

OF the bystanders who the deceased

Here is a sample Of the aptness Of his
stories:
A man went 10 him one day when
there was talk Of some customs frauds
in New York to ask II he intended
starting an investigation.
II knew a fellow once" said Mr..
Shaw. "who hunted foxes with n brass
band. IA very long and embaTass-
ing pause. while the secretary went on
signing his MALL He didn't get any
foxes"
One day Justice Harlan OF the SUI
preme court propounded this query 70
Shaw:
''Air. Secretary. what is the differ
ence between statesman and a poll
tlcianT
Quick as thought came the answer:
ITS the difference between the
young man seeking a position and the
boy looking for a job"
A friend OF the family once remark
ed 70 the secretary:
''Afrs. Shaw is so kind. isn't she7"
"Kindg" repeated Mr.. Shaw. Mrs.
Shaw would be kind to her own execu-
TONER"
When the treasury portfolio was Of
fered to Governor Shaw, his friends, IN
his presence, we're specializing as to
whether he would accept or not. He
set their minds at rest by telling the
following story:
1.-TWO boys, Bill and Bob. were at the
dinner table. Some time before the
end Of the meal the pie was passed.
Bill declined to take any, saying he
was not.yet ready for the dessert. Bob
helped himself to the biggest piece on
the plate and turning to Bill, remark
ed. Bin. alius take pie when pie is
passin'.'"
The treasury department had mi
nor employee named Mike, who went
on periodical sprees. But he was con-
sidered Indispensable, so was taken
back each time Mr.. Shaw learned Of
this and asked the delinquent's imme-
diate superior, "What would you do IL
Nike were deadT "Oh, / suppose we
would have to stralghten out things
ourselves" "Well, so far as this de-
partment is concerned, Mike is dead.
So begin and straighten."
When he was secretary he always
wanted to help people If he could, but,
much as he desired to assist one wOm-
an to a position, he saw it was impos-
sible.

Who Makes the Town2

The editor of the paper at Coyle,

makes the town." To make a town
requires the work of many people. 1t
is surely not the man who earns his
wages in the town and then spends
his earnings elsewhere; not the farm
er who sells his produce to the home
merchant and then takes the money
to the express or post oHice and sends
it to the Chicago mail order house
for the goods he needs; nor the minis
ter VINO is paid for preaching by the
business interests of the place, and
spends his spare time in working up
grocery clubs for an outside concern.

The official count by the

at Jackson gave to Hon. Lee
roy L. Taylor pit votes
for trustee of the State peni-
tertiary from the northern

short OF the nomination and
leading his nearest competi-

him by an overwhelming
majority.
Mr.. Taylor is one OF Lee
county's favorite sons and
the evidence Of his pOpu-
larity among the people with
whom and for whom he has
spent SO many years Of his
life is shown by the large
vote cast for him i'll Lee

he having received 2,11S

SAFEGUARD THE HOME
GOOD CITIZENS ARE THE BuL
wars or TA- NATION.
EDUC ZION AND PROTECTION
TWO Veal Things 20 Be Considered BY
Those Who Would sse the
Greatest Progress and
Advancement.

Where is found the greatest ad-
yancenent and civilization there Is
also found among the people the high
est type of fealty and love OF home.
The American homes are the most
substantial pillars of the nation S
greatness, and in American citizen
ship is found the bulwarh Of our re-
publican government
Where the home life is ideal, there
is found genuine patriotism which is
always commensurate with the en-
lighenment and the domestic happi-
ness of the people, How important II
is then that every safeguard be
thrown about the home, which is the
hotbed where are produced for deyel-
opment all the strength that is neces-
sary for the perpetuation Of a govern
ment and the maintenance of ma
tons greatness.
The student who will study into
conditions of the countries that are
continually wrecked by internal tur-
MOL, such as Russia and the Central
American republics, will discover the
homes are far from ideal homes, and
that there is an absence of the love
of country that should be found in the
hearts Of it's citizens. There is duty
that involves upon all, and which is
due to the generations growing and to
come The duty is to surround the
home with such environments as will
make it attractive and develop in the
growing youth the highest qualities of
manhood and womanhood. Where the
people are oppressed by monarchy
and feudalism there is no incentive to
develop the highest state of home life
In America where all are upon an
equal plane and opportunities are
open to every citizen, and where the
people are secure in their rights to
homes there is every reason why
each one should make the greatest en-
deavor to found for himself and his
progeny residence place that Will
be sure from intrusion and be an in
centiye to higher mental and social
ACNClOIJAl
Education is all important and no
other country in the world offers to
all such glorious advantages to re
ceive enlightenment as does the Unit
ed States 1t is important that the
home be located near good schools
Good schools are generally found
where there are good homes and good
towns The quality Of citizenship of a
community can generally be gagged By
the standard of its educational insti
tutions 1t is important to the home
builder that the town wherein he Is To-
Gated or which he may reside near,
be a progressive place. And the bet
ter that this town be, the better will
be it's educational facilities for the
youth. 1t is essential to the greatest
good Of a community that it be real
lied by all residing within it that the
more wealthy it can be made, the
greater will be its advantages both as
to education and otherwise. BY sup
port to home institutions the home is
made better in every way. Patriotic
citizens will make it their first aim to
be loyal to their own home interests
and then their state and nation. One
who is loyal to home is generally
faithful in the performance of all the
duties that good citizenship implies.
