Twice during the week has Count
Zeppelin demonstrated the power and

ship in voyages over Lake Constance.
The second time he. with q crew of
fourteen men, sailed continuously for
twelve hours ut an average speed of
thirty-four miles an hour and passed
over most Of northern Switzerland. At
all times the ship was under perfect
control, turning, rising. descending at
will and sailing either with or against
the wind. The distance covered was
20 miles, and the greatest altitude at

SIMPLE FROCKS SMARTER

1t is quite proper that she should. But it

HOT BATHS AN EXCELLENT
REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA
S1eep1ess Nights May Be Avoided by Warm Tubs
and Hot Soothing Drinks.

One of the simplest and best panaceas
for an attack of nerves is a hot bath. If
a woman who is fatigued by the day s
work finds herself unable to sleep after
going to bed, she had much better take a
hot tub than to indulge in drug. even of
the mildest description There is some
thing remarkably relaxing in immersion
in hot water, and unless the plunge lasts
too long there Is not the slightest danger
Of being weakened by it,
To put a time limit upon the bath is i'm
possible, because it depends upon the
original vitality of the individual. One
whose strength was much lessened could
not stay in the wafer for more than ten
minutes. while for another twenty min
utes is none too long. The way one feels
on getting out is the best criterion. FIR
there should be a gentle sensation of las
s:tude, but not that OF exhaustion.
If to gain sleep is the object for which
the bath is taken. everything should be
prepared before getting into the water.
The bed must be open and there should
be hot-Water bag in it to warm the
sheets, that there shall be no shock Of
cold linen Fresh air from an open win

These details attended to. the water in
the tub should be of temperature just

body has gone beneath the surface the hot
faucet must be turned on. letting IL c

John Wright Again Convicted.

AS will be noticed by the
record of cases from the Mayors
Court, John D. Wright, the we'll
known blind tiger operator, was
convicted before the Mayor this
week and a fine imposed of 500
and 80 days in Jail; whereupon he
took an appeal to the Circuit
Court. The prosecution was rep
resented by Messrs. Thos. Brady
and Lewis Wood, and the defense
by Messrs. A. G. McNair and E.
F. Brennan. The prosecution
made such a strong, clear case,
that no witnesses were introduced
for the defense and the case was
without argument by
both sides with the above result.
Tuesday Wright was arrested
for violating the State law against
retailing, by Constable Jesse
Smith, carried before Justice
Daughtry and his trial set for
next Monday, he giving bond for
his appearance at that time.
Wright is, beyond all doubt. an
old and fragrant violator of the
law against selling liquor, and lie
deserves no quarter at the hands
of any one opposed to the infam-
Gus and crime -breeding business
in which he has been SO long and
so persistently engaged.

A Woman Governor.

Queens have ruled many ma
tions, but Pennsylvania is the only
one of the United States that ever
had woman for Governor. A
passage lately unearthed from
Armor's Governors of Pennsyl-
yania, page 1876, says:
''On the Both of July, 17l8,
William Penn died, at the age of
seventy four. By his will, his
wife, Hannah, was made his sole
executrix and assumed the man
agement Of colonial affairs, ex-
ecuting this difficult task with
rare tact and business capacity.
She became, says Watson, in
effect our Governor, ruling US by
her deputies, or Lieutenant Gov
ernors, during all the term of her
childrens minority.
II is safe to say that Hannah
Penn made better Governor Of
Pennsylvania than some Of the
officials who have held that high
position since her time.

A Portsmouth Wac Gets OFF a Clever

A Portsmouth, O., joker has
compiled rather a unique bill of
sale of articles, which he assumes
the Republicans will have no fur
ther use for after March, 1909.
The idea is rather clever, and
Republican as we'll as Democrat
can appreciate it. Here it is:
Our lease with Uncle Sam hav-
ing practically expired, and hav-
ing decided to quit the business,
and retire to private life, we the
undersigned, will offer at public
sale at our residence, at the Capt.
tol in Washington. D. G., CON-
mencing on the second day Of
March, 1909, the following de-
scribede property, to-wit:
One financial panic, old enough
to be weaned.
One republican platform, the
same being somewhat rotten.
One big stick.
One republican machine, the
same being somewhat out of re-

MEN AFRAID OF THEMSELVES.
They Hamper the Good Work That
Others Might Do.

We are overstocked with young
men who are afraid of themselves.
They stand for little or nothing
positively. They seldom commit
themselves. They do little and
help others do less. They are
afraid to earn an opinion or a
personality. Some one may laugh
at them, so they refrain from ex-
pressing themselves.
Out of this class can never come
leader. Some few may inherit
responsibilities; they never earn
them. Their philosophy is tied to
their mothers apron strings. and
the extent of their activities is the
extent of the travels of a pump
handle. They are good if the
weather of the morals where they
live is good.
OF course We cannot all be lead
ers; some should and must need be
followers. But follower is a
man who follows and not one who
has to be pushed. No man who
is afraid of himself is ever the
model of worthy ideal.
The greatest sin in the world is
; that of failure to be a man. God
gave US life; to grow like inani-
mate nature is in opposition to
His plan of creation. Men who
are afraid of themselves are rob-
bing their maker, and are afraid
as we'll of God because they are
thieves.
These men-pieces of inanimate
nature-are not necessarily lazy, u,
nor are they devoid of action. In
fact, they often do things in order
to hide from their responsibility.
They talk, work, act mechanically, !,
for the sake of acting, not for any
higher cause. They drown their
responsibility by diving into
heaps of routine work; they &c
round and round like the ma
chimes beside them, until they are
but mechanisms of blood and bone,
afraid to break away, afraid to ask
themselves why they are doing
this and that detail. They go
because they are afraid to stop.
Mind, not mere motion, makes
men. But, worst of all, the
young man who is afraid of him
self hampers the good work thai
others might do. He objects, but
seldom states his oDlection.
1T may be all right, but
and you feel the chilly lack Of ap-
probation in stone wall. He il
not a kicker, being afraid to b.
classed even in that bunch. Hi
is worse-a kicker that doesn'
kick. For such pieces of human
ity there is but one judgment da,
-and that is when they face them
selves. But it will require twc
or three Angel Gabriels to ge
them to do it.

Items From Last Weeks Franklin
Advocate,

Misses Jymme Newman and
Lura Cameron we're charming Wis
itors Saturday.
Supt. Torrey desires us to an
nounce that the term of the public
schools will be only seven months
instead of eight.>
We are pleased to learn that
Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. E. Magee have
decided to make MeadviIle their
home. He has purchased the old
Bleecker property from Mr.. J. P.
Butler and will occupy it soon.
Mr.. K. E. Griffing returned
from Brookhaven Sunday, where
he visited his family. We regret
to learn that he left his two little
sons sick with measles. He will
move his family over next week.
Our streets are getting in a
fearful condition, and the street
commissioner should make some
arrangements to at least ill up
some of the worst holes. Bradley
has decamped now, and we can
have honest returns for the money
to expend on our streets.
Fred Lees, a Is year old white
boy, living with Mr.. August Tenn
pie, accidentally shot himself on
Wednesday of last week. He
picked his gun up when he started
home from the field at noon. and
in some way it was discharged
shooting one of his little fingers
off and two or three of tie bird
shot lodging in his side.
By an unfortunate accident last
Saturday, Mr.. Nance Aldrldge
lost his dining room and kitchen,
two separate buildings. In cut
ting down large oak tree that
stood just north of the buildings
mentioned, the wind together with
the weight of heavy limbs that
hung directly over the houses, the
tree was pulled that way despite
every effort to throw it westward,
and it certainly made kindling
wood of the two houses. The loss
is about $500.
A new courthouse is needed anC
as soon as the Board--if 1t ever
can-gets the finances of the coun
ty in better shape, they should
give the matter their very serious
consideration. 1t will of course
entail a bond issue with large
interest before it could be paiC
for, and before this is done, WI
suggest that arrangement be made
whereby all the county's paper
could be taken up. There is 3
large amount of warrants out,
and those who hold them have
been very patient SO far, but pa
tience ceases to become a virtu
after awhile.
