have always hated hotels, - I lost
no time in looking round for lodgings
suitable to my means, and was fortunate
enough to obtain couple Of rooms in the
house occupied BY priest, Father
Jacques Bonchretien. He was very good
fellow, and though we did not become in
innate, I could always rely on his cour-
tesy and friendly services. Here l lived
in great comfort at an expense of fifty
dollars a month, and I soon found that
my spare fifty made me a well-to-do man
in Nottingham. Accordingly l had the
entree Of all the best houses, including
the Golden House, and very pleasant
little society we had; occasional dances,
frequent dinners, and plenty of lawn ten
mis- and billiards prevented me feeling the
tedium l had somewhat feared, and the
young ladies of Nottingham did their
best to solace my exile. As for business,
found the bank doing a small business,
but a tolerably satisfactory one, and if
we made some bad debts, we got high in
terest on the good ones, SO that, one way
or another, managed to send home pref
ty satisfactory reports, and time passed
on quietly enough in spite of certain man
ifestations of discomfort among the popu-
lation. These disturbing phenomena were
first brought prominently to my notice at
the time when l became involved in the
fortunes of the. Aureataland national
debt, and as all my story turns on this
incident, it perhaps Is fit subject for .
new chapter.

New Trick in Fur Selling,

Two men, about % and 38 years old
respectively, affecting an English ac-
cent and the dress of petty officers, WIS.,
tied Abraham Greenberg lawyer, who
has an office in the Pulitzer building.
They were accompanied by negro who
carried large sailors grip.
The men represented themselves as
having just returned from a trip
through the Baltic provinces Of Rus
STA.
= 1--WE got some fine furs 1 would like
to sell to you," said the spokesman.
I've lot of bargains, too" Then.
looking around the room, he added in
whisper: Il brought the STUFF myself
to this country-you underestimate
The lawyer said he was not interest
ed in furs, but the man persisted. He
displayed handsome bearskin rug
which he said he would sell for $75
Greenberg didn't care to purchase any
much that he finally offered $35 for It
This was refused, but the man pro-
duced fine silver blue fox muff and
collar.
"Ill let you have this for $780," said
the man.
Greenberg bargained with him and
eventually bought the set for $40. He
thought he had a prize.
Just as he was about to hand the
| money to the stranger he found that
! the mur was damaged. The man read
: lily agreed to exchange it and took
what looked like a similar muff from
the grip. This looked all right and was
! accepted.
| When the lawyer examined the muff
and collar more carefully, however, on
rubbing his hand gently over the fur It
began to fall out. Greenberg took the
garments to an expert and learned that
they were made Of hair dyed and past
ed crudely on foundation. The value
of the garments was about $1.5O.
Since then the lawyer has heard
from other victims Of the pair. Their
game, which is a new one, is being
worked successfully in many parts of
the city.-New York Times

British Female SUHragists Storm

The women suffragists Of London
marched on Parliament recently and
for six hours Westminster was like
a building defended by troops against
an attack from q mob. Policemen on
foot In squads guarded every entrance.
Policemen on horseback in platoons
charged and recharged the serried
ranks Of the undaunted ''suffragettes."
Detectives IN plain clothes struggled
with isolated groups Of daring invad-
ers in petticoatA Women were knock
ed over, shaken. pulled, and hauled
about. Some were almost trampled
In the mud. Fifty-seven Of them were
thrown into Jail. Immense crowds of
onlookers surrounded Parliament
house and traffic was blocked for hours.
The women finally we're routed with
many casualties, including some cuts,
abrasions, Commissions, and a great loss
Of millinery, hat pins, hair pins. and
similar light impediments. The victo-
rious police suffered some slight bodily
injuries and the temporary loss of
few helmets
1t was to denounce the omission from
the kings speech at the opening ses-
sion of Parliament Of any reference to
the enfranchisement Of women and to
celebrate the first anniversary Of the
opening Of the vote demanding cam

gathered at Caxton hall and listened
to fiery speeches by their leaders.

Paper Wind Shield.-Cold weather
and winter is the source Of much dread
on the part of some persons. Pneumo-
MIA. grippe and various forms Of pull
monary ailments loom large and threat
eningly before them at the mention OF
winter. A cold wind is one Of the most
disagreeable things to face. No matter
how warmly one may be bundled, still
the wind seems to strike through the
cloth and chill just the same. An old
fashioned and almost forgotten way of
getting the better of the wind-god is to
place folded newspaper over the
chest and under the outer clothing and
the same may be located at the back.
The close fiber of paper makes 1t al
most impervious to wind. Add to this
the fact that it Is a poor conductor of
heat and we have an ideal cold-proof
article. When one Is driving against
strong wind nothing will keep the
lungs and body so warm as a sheet of
newspaper. Put layer of paper In
side Of your rubbers before going out
for walk and you will be surprised
how warm it will keep your feet

WHEN THE BRAIN Is INJURED.
What Happens When 1t Is Pierced
by Bullet.

What Happens When 1t Is Pierced
by Bullet.
The conequences produced by
bullet crashing into the skull are often
so difficult Of explanation, according to
the British surgeon, DR.. r. LaWford
Knaggs, that the numerous experiments
made to obtain knowledge OF their ma
ture merit the closest study, says Cur
rent Literature. Now there is a GER
tain physical phenomenon so closely as
ISOLATED with the, effects OF bullet
wounds that DR.. Knaggs alludes to 1t
first of all. In hydrostatics there Is
law known as Pascal's. This law Is
that pressure exerted upon mass of
LIQUID is transmitted undiminished IN
all directions and acts with the same
force on all equal surfaces, and In
direction at right angles to those sur
faces.
The bearing Of this law upon the
subject In hand depends on the fact
that the skull Is completely filled with
the contents of various degrees Of
fuidity. During life the general sum
4
of the fluidity is greater than after
death. Thus there is the cerebro-splnal
fluid In the ventricles and In the subar-
acnnoid space, the fluid In the lynn
phatics and the blood in the vessels.
The brain itself, moreover, Is a soft
and vlscous substance. The cranial
contents do not constitute uniform
fluid, but we should expect Pascal's
law to apply to them. SA,

IT PAYS IN HUMBOLDT.

A special from Humboldt, Tennes-
see. says The annual report OF
the Board of Public Works
of Humboldt shows that the
water and light plant, which is owned
by the city, has been changed from
losing investment several years ago
to a strongly paying one during the
past three years, or the time Messrs.
H. C. Burnett, B. F. FARRELL and E. l..
Fox have composed the board. The
gross receipts during last year were
S14,15323, an increase over the earn
ing of 1905 of $2,O1113, and over 1904,
$4.5359S. Thetotal gross earnings OF
the plant during the past three years
amount to $35,915.51. During this
time the plant has furnished the city
water, fire protection and lights to the
amount of s1O,42194, and has earned
besides a net amount of $5,635.20.

According to DR.. Woodrow Wilson
It is the duty of patriot to accept
Office when it is rendered him. Ac-
cording to that Tennessee has its full
quota of patriots, such as they are.
But, and notwithstanding, among the
class who ought to make and admin
lister laws, there is a lamentable lack
of patriotism" Then too, the people
the sovereigns Of the land-are much
to blame. For instance, people who
will prefer Taylor to Carmack, for a
seat in the United States, will have
themselves only to blame for the dis
appointments and humiliation that
must inevitable follow.

The long deferred promise that the
business men OF Columbia would get
together and organize and 90 to work
10 do something" for Columbia. has
the promise Of being realized next
Monday night; Mr.. John ". Fry hay-
ing issued a call TO that effect. We
certainly hope the business men OF
this town win give heed TO that call.
By so doing they viii promote the gen.
eral prosperity of the town, and what
ever promotes the general prosperity
Of any community. is bound to bene'
fit every industrious, wide awake citi-
zen of that community. When we use
the term business men,, we 90 not
use it in a narrow sense. Every man,
except he be a loafer, a gambler,
drunkard, or a vagrant, Is business
man. Capital and labor are mutually
dependent one upon the other, and in
building up a community the capital
list and laborer should unite their
efforts. Their interest being a COM
mon one, they should each work to-
gether with common purpose for the
general good. The people of Column
bia will not be alive to their best
interest if the County Court room is
not crowded next Monday night.

we can read his incompatible" speech

so loyal and true, so Incompatible"
in the Office he holds; man who, as
compared with the enc who will soon
occupy his seat in the Senate, is as
Hyperion to a satyr;" we say we feel
some sadness that such a man, in the
zenith of his strength and greatness
and power for good to his country,
must so soon retire from public life.
A people who cannot discriminate bet
ter than that, need electors at large to
teach them how to use the priceless
boon of the elective franchise.

INTRODUCES NUMBER OF MEAS
URES.-A REFORMAToRY
BILL INTRODUCED IN
THE HOUSE.

Fifteen bills we're introduced in the
House Wednesday, nearly all OF them,
however, being local measures. Rep
resentative Cummips introduced a
bill for the creation Of reform school
for the correction aUl reformation OF
juvenile criminals, to be known as
the Tennessee Reform School" The
Governor, Attorney General and Prison
Commissioners are authorized to es-
tabIish the institution. After its es-
tablishment the operation of the re-
formatory is vested in the Prison Com
mission, which shall employ Super
intendent, who shall not in any event
be over 20 years of age, and other
necessary officers. The courts OF the
State may commit children between
the ages of s and i6 years to the
reformatory, but in no event is their
term there to be less than the differ
ence between their ages and twenty
one. The county from which the Of
fender is sentenced will pay half of
the expenses of maintaineance, the
other half to be paid by the State.
Representative Holman presented a
bill to declare it taxable privilege
for any person or firm to engage In
the business or practice or habit of
ordering any intoxscants shipped to
territory in which the sale thereof is
inhabited by law, where the order is
made for some person other than the
party making the order. The bill APP
plies whether the order be transmitted
by mail, wire or verbally. The tax for
such privilege shalA be $500 per an

Representative Mari introduced a
bill to prohibit any member Of the
Legislature from selling lands to the
State during their term of office, and
to inhibit any person from selling
lands to the State who acquired the
some from a member of the Legisla-
ture during the term Of the latter.

The Columbia bill' will doubtless
be referred in the House to the Com

of Maury is a member of that commit

a local bill championed by one of its
own members from the county to be
effected thereby. 1t looks mighty like

SORE ON NASH
VILE SHOW

The Maury county exhibitors, who
have returned from the Nashville
Poultry Show, are sore over the treat
ment received by ths out Of Nashville
exhibitors. In the first place they say
that the building in which the show Is
being held is inadequate for the ac-
commodation of the fowls, and in con-
sequence the coops have to be piled
one on top of the other eight or ten
feet high. While this is a bad ar
rangement ii is made especially dis
tasteful to the out-of Nashville exhibit
tors from the fact that their fowls are
placed on the bottom tier where peo-
pie have to stoop down to see them
or so high that they can not be seen
while the fowls of the Nashville exhi
bitors are arranged just high enough
to be plainly seen, and are ralways
found in good light.
One Maury county exhibitor shipped
to Nashville Sunday some Black Or
pingtons. He went to Nashville him
self Wednesday and not being able to
find his birds among the other Black
Orpingtons, searched the house and
finally found them away up stairs
among the Black Langshangs, unfed
and unwatered with not even the Gov
ering over the front of the coops re-
The fowls having gone with
out food and water SO long were under
weight and were cut out in conse-
quence.
These are not the most serious of the
charges. A number of instances are
cited Of not only unfairness in the
award Of ribbons but of change in
the Judge and his dishcarge where an
exhibitor happened to
have won the greater number of first
The score cards were de-
and another judge appointed
and then the first ribbons went to
