 Austin Statesman: The Birnin gham Age-Herald thinks If your Uncle Joe Cannon has given up cigars he has lost his most picturesque pose And just when the campaign for the republican presiden- tial nomination is growing downright in teresting. Silly Uncle Joe Cannon.
 
 Washington Post: "The average man, " says the Birmingham Age-Herald. "spends the first half of his life getting wise and the last half telling other people how to get wise" This would be very true but for the fact that the average man doesn't get very wise at any stage of his career.
 Jackson Clarlon-I.edger: Anybody who goes to sleep with a railroad tie for a pillow may expect to wake up in heaven" says the Birmingham Age-Herald. Don't know about that. If tho tie Is made of the heart of Mississippi pine 1t would come in mighty handy as kindlin down the other way.
 Austin Statesman: The remark indulgsd in by the St. Louis Times to the affect that labor won't daily leads the Bir- mingham Age-Herald to make rejoinder, saying: "Evdently, the Times has mover had any experience with any of those hard working mechanics who take half a day to think over @ fifteen minute job and the other half to do it."

A BARDs POOR GIFT.

A BARDS POOR GIFT. My little maid. I'd like to make you happy And free from every worldly care. With sunshine all your days and sweet
 est roses
 Upon your darling head to wear. But what can one who has no means or
 power Another squanders gold in shining I can but offer you a song.
 REPLIES. The holier the war, the more like hell 1t is.
 Honesty may be the best policy, but dis honesty gets the motor cars. Love put on a cash basis has filled the world with tears.
 College education nowadays Is too much a matter of loud socks and flaming hat bands.
 HOW? How can a man exert himself When all his hope Is dead, When the sun no longer lights his way And every song has fled? How can a man be ever great, Whose face Is long and sad. Since fortune frowns on moping men And welcomes those who're glad? How can a man e'er make his mark With 0 scowl upon his face, When cheerful, busy fellows are The chaps who set the pace? How can a man do anything, Unless he's feeling prime, With heart that's right and spirits
 light
 And courage all the time?
 AN OBITUARY There is sadness in the composing room today. kitty" Is dead. For seven or eight years she was the pet of machine men, ad. men. makeup men, head men, and galley boys, alike. Kitty was waif. She was picked up on the street, a small, hopeless bundle of fur, with plaintive wall and wondering eyes She grew into a fine cat, and so far as we know, never left the building until car ried away with a broken thigh to veterinary hospital, where she died. She never had any other name than kitty" but her lovable traits of character en- deared her to all. Gentle, refined and appreciative, kitty never forgot friend. Wandering printers have gone around the world and when they came back she greeted them with unfeigned pleasure and recognition that left no room for doubt. A fund was regularly set aside each week to provide Kitty with wholesome fare and the duty of look ing after her comfort was one of no small importance. It will probably never be known whether she was accidentally hurt, or injured with malice aforethought by some brutal intruder. The tenderest so- licitude could not prolong her life and she passed away, leaving a place that will be hard to fill.

hews contesting the will of the late
Martha ]. Croft have lost their suit in

ton, who today directed the jury to re-
turn a verdict for proponents in the

Mrs. Croft was proprietress of the
Mason House at Colfax and possessed
other property to the value of $4,000.

of her estate had been willed to two
men who were not relatives. The Ma
son House property, valued at S25,OOO,

twenty years had been in her employ
as clerk and later as manager. To H.
w. Robinson, editor of the Colfax
Clipper, she left the bulk of the bal
ance of the estate. Robinsons wife,
now. dead, was niece Of Mrs. Croft.
Mrs. Croft had no children, her near
est relatives being nieces and nephews,
plaintiffs in the present suit and
known as the Chamberlain heirs. They
opposed the admitting of the will to
probate, charging Thomas and Rob-
inson used undue influence and that
Mrs. Croft was incompetent to make a
will at the time the instrument was
drawn. The case was begun Monday
noon In court and sixteen witnesses
were examined. Judge Preston, in
directing the jury to bring in verdict
sustaining the WILL said the charges
had not been proved as to undue inf1u-
ence and incompetency. The heirs
claimed that the children of Mrs. Rob.
fnson should have shared with them in
the entire estate. The other nieces and
nephews We're given insignificant be-
quests
Major John F. Lacey appeared in
the case as attorney for Robinson.
