caustic Judae Hawkins.

Judge Hawkins once had to SEN
tence an old swindler and gave him
seven years. The man in the dock
squir1med and whined, "Oh, my
Lord, I'll never live half the tfmew
Hawkins took another look at him
and answered, Il don't think it is at
all desirable that you should"
The formality of asking newly
convicted prisoner if he had any
thing to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him brought an
other characteristic retort from the
Judge. A prisoner in these circum-
stances usually either says nothing
or curses at large in his rage, but
one of them struck theatrical pos
ture and with his right hand in the
air shouted: "May the Almighty
strike me dead if / don't speak the
truth! / am innocent of this crime!'
Judge Hawkins said nothing for
about a minute, when, after glanc-
ing at the clock, he Illuminated in
his most impressive tones, "Since
the Almighty has not thought fit to
intervene, / will now proceed to
pass sentence" - Westminster Ca

Which Side?

Some years ago while the writer
was returning from Raleigh, N. c.,
on an excursion train over the Sea-
board Air line he was accosted by
the conductor of the train, one who
had evidently spent his youth in
keeping away from anything that
pertained to education and who pro-
ceeded to unfold the following ex-
ample of "down home" wit:
Il declare, some people can ask
the most foolishest questions ever
see. What do you suppose some wo-
man asked me just now"
/ replied that l was unable to
guess and requested him to enGght-
en- me. He then proceeded to tell
his story, which ran as follows:
.While ! was passing through a
coach just now some woman stop
ped me and asked me how far we
we're from Weldon. l replied that
we were about tifty-fve miles from
Weldon. She then asked, This side

He Probably Returned.

"Sam, did you ever study spirit
ualism?" asked travelling man who
hasn't a very high reputation among
his creditors.
3sNot much," was the reply. 'I
never had time to give it any
thought"
"But you believe that the dead
return, don't you?"
sWell, to tell the truth, haven't
been bothering myself about the
dead returning. Pve only thought
about it long enough to come to the
conclusion that there is an awful lot
of the living that don't return"
3How do you mean? ?" s
"Why, if they did, maybe you'd
be returning that ten dollar bill you
borrowed from me six months ago"

West Minstrels Coming.

William n. West minstrels make
their appearance at the opera house.
Tuesday, Sept. II. The attraction
is we'll mounted and carefully staged
and the company includes some of
Americas most clever people. Man
ager Ricaby has this season gone In
more for the genuine old-stvle negro
entertainment than for the glitter
that sometimes covers up a lack of
talent: at the same time he has not
forgotten the surrounding, aud the
result is very novel and enjoyable
performance. The opening part,
styled The Awaiting of Dawn" is
very artistic and attractive piece
OF stage arrangement. The grand
entry being an innovation to min
stelry.
Roswell J.. Wright, the noted
soprano. Lloyd Ballet, James CantA
we'll, William Renaud are q corpA'
of ballad singers seldom gathered to-
gether, and are backed by chorus
of twenty well-trained voices. Geo.
Van and Billy Graham, the principal
end men, are too we'll known for
comment here, and are ably sup
ported by six clever story tellers aud
songsters. The first part concluding
with an artistic arrangement of
clever songs and dances, the eyolu-
tion and execution being difficult
and finished.
The olio opens with number of
new, novel and really sensational
specialties, among which appear the
European novelty act of Cameron and
Toledo. their act being one Of the
cleverest of the day and beautifully
staged. Major Smith, the Hindoo
stick marvel manipulation, George
Van, a comedian with an exceptional
voice, the battleship four, quar-
tette Of singers and dancers who
stand at the head of their particular
line. The music being far above the
average, and as of old, the West
show this season stands out promi- /
nently as the real leader in min
strelsy.

Seats In a Train,

"Why do the seats on the right
hand side of car almost always
fill up before those on the left?,
inquired a man on board a local
suburban train just before it pulled
out OF the station the other even
ing. 'I've been taking this trip for
the past three months now, and I've
noticed the tendency to favor tho
right side without finding out the
reason" Two other men of the
same party gave it up as a conun-
drum, though they admitted it as a
fact. They asked the conductor
when he came through. "Well"
said the old and experienced rail-
roader, "when people aren't guided
in their choice of seats by a desire
to get away from the sun they are
apt to think of collisions and acci-
dents, and their first thought is not
to be on the side nearest the track
for trains going the other way 40
that if anything happens on that
track they won't get a side swipen .

SEA sUpERsTITloNs.
Signs and Tokens That Sway the Men
Who Work Aboard Ship.

There is neral idea that the
sailor labors 4lder more than the
one pet superstition popular tradi-
ton assigns to each individual. Mr..
J. d. j. Kelley, although he de-
clares that "tars" are no more SUI
perstitious than any of their equals
in training and opportunities, cites
in ''The Ships Company" many of
the signs and tokens in which those
"who go down to the sea in ships"
put their faith.
In the past superstition was
part of every ship. 1t entered into
its keel, climbed to its flags, ran at
it's launching, controlled its crew
and cargo, evoked portents and gov
erned its ventures and arrivals.
A bit of stolen wood was always
mortised into the keel to make a
ship sail fast. A silver coin was
placed in the mainmast step to in
sure lucky ventures. The modern
christening by the wine bottle arose
from the ancient libations poured
on the deck by priests.
On sailing ship lawyers, women
and the clergy are looked upon with
lisfavor, as they are supposed to
bring i'll luck. Every black cat that
comes on board carries gale in
her tail" Whistling is much against
the proprieties of sea life. If one
whistles for breeze he is only too
apt to bring tornado.
Ship bells are blessed, and to this
day, ii a mistake is made in striking
one, it is Immediately struck back
ward to break the spell. The belief
in the desertion of sinking ship
by rats is founded on reason, for
rats like to be dry footed, and when
vessel is unsafe it becomes leaky
under deck and too wet for the
creatures comfort.
Figureheads were first images OF
gods, then of saints and sea heroes.
Chinese junks bear two glaring eyes
on their bows, for: ''No have two
eyes, how can see? No see, how
can 60"

FLAT FOOT.
The Proper Way to Treat This very
Common Affliction.

Common Attllct'on.
Flat foot is very common al
aiction. 1t is also one which is fire.
ouently overlooked by physicians,
saws the Medical Brief.
The patient complains of pain in
the heel, the ankle, the inner border
Of the foot, great toe, the muscles
OF the calf, the knee or even the
h!p. The busy practitioner notes
these symptoms in hurried, cas-
nal way, attributes them to rheuma-
tism, prescribes salicylates and what
not. and another fiat footed indi-
ydual plods his weary way.
Increased deformity is added to
what may have been merely foot
strain in the first place. A durable
case has become well nigh incurable,
and the medical profession is again
ipstly liable to well deserved CEN
sure.
Any factor which tends to di-
minish the muscular power OF the
foot may cause fat foot. A great
increase in the weight borne by the
foot may cause it.
The increase in weight may be
actual, such as occurs in people
who put on great deal of fat, or 1t
NAV be relative, such as occurs In
athletes, jumpers especially. But
by lar the most common cause Is a
aramping of the foot, brought about
by improper shoes.
For treatment of this condition
mechanical support to the deform-
ed foot is practically all that is nee
essary. This mechanical support is
best afforded by means of the foot
plate made from highly tempered
steel and nodded upon a plaster
cast of the foot.
The footplate should be worn as
long as it is required, but no longer.
Additional wearing of the plate be-
vond the time necessary, as indl-
Gated by the symptoms, is simply an
additional cause of harm. With the
footplate shoe should be worn fit
ting the normal contour of the foot.
