Nat Goodwin is receiving con-
siderable advertising such as it
is-from his numerous matrimon-
ial alliances. Within a week from
the time he was divorced from
Maxine Elliott third wife
he took unto himself another
helpmeet. The first two had also
been divorced. An exchange re-
marks that if Goodwin desires
another matrimonial alliance he
and Lillian Russell-who has re-
Gently divorced her third hus-
band-might tie up. The Duluth
Herald sapiently remarks that:
There seems to be a dispute
just now whether it is the mar
riage record of Solomon or Henry
VIII that Nat Goodwin is after. u
1t is a disgrace to civilization that
people are able to lay aside the
matrimonial bonds so easily.
Something should be done to re-
medy the evil.

AT THE WEIGHING MACHINES.

Woman With Heavy Box Supplies a
Novel Spectacle on the Scales.

of them anything but himself or her.
self, as this weigher, woman, did in
subway station.
She came in carrying in one hand a
muff and in the other a box of pol
ished oak that was narrow and pro-
portionately high and maybe a foot in
length. That the box was heavy was
shown by the fact that the leather
handle had been stretched somewhat
by its weight.
And apparently it's present carrier had
found it heavy and was curious about
it's weight, for now she set the box On
the platform of one of those weighing
machines and dropped a penny in the
slot. 1t weighed ten pounds certainly
a heavy box to carry. That was all
she wanted to know-didn't weigh her
self; she just picked the box up again,
this time with smile, and went
aboard the train.

The Duluth News-Tribune and
other rabidly partisan republican
newspapers that always take
their politics straight" and can
see nothing good outside of their

gagged in the task of making a
martyr out of w. H. Williams,
better known among the boys by
his extremely appropriate sobri-
quetof Windy" Governor John
son fired" Williams who, during
the four years he has been labor
commissioner, has persistently
knocked" the governor, not hav-
ing the decency to either get in
line with the administration or to
resign. He is strong labor
leader and a competent official
but has yet to learn the gentle
art of self control in so far as his
facial orifice is concerned. It
may have been bad politics to let
Williams out, but the governor
could do nothing less and main
tain his self respect. The new
appointee, Oil Inspector W. E.
McEwen, is also a labor leader
of influence and will make just as
good an official as Williams, and
in addition will be loyal to his

Kept Loaf OF Bread 28 Years.
Mrs. H. Baum, Sr.. this place has
just returned from a visit to her old
home in Frankenthal, Germany, where
she went to see her mother, after an
absence of twenty-eight years.
Twenty-eight years ago, when Mrs.

leave CT her mother at their home in
Frankenthal to go to Ripley, Tenn, to
make her home with some of her peo-
pie, her mother gave her large loaf
of bread with the request that it be

this her mother was adhering to a
popular German superstition to the eff
feet that a piece of bread when in the
possession of one leaving home and
taken from home will prevent home
sickness or desire to return. Mrs.
Baum had preserved the bread, al
though it had dwindled from piece

DOGS Around Blacksmith shops.

Dogs Around Blacksmith Shops.
Two or three dogs are nearly always
to be found loafing about every black
smith shop. This fact is so we'll rec
ognized that detectives when sent out
after valuable dogs that have been lost
invariably visit first all the black
smith shops in the neighborhood.
The reason why dogs frequent the
blacksmith shops is that they love in
ordinately the odor and the taste of
burning hoofs. They sniff the odors
as a woman shifts rose, and they
eat the hoof parings as a gourmet eats
truffles.
Landseer, the great animal painter,
knew this odd fact we'll, and in his
famous picture of "The Smiths Shop"
a dog in the foreground is greedily
.munching slivers of toasted hoof.

Sheriff E. L. Higdon rendered a re-

oners in the county jail on January /
1908. The report is the customary one
rendered at the first of every year by
the sheriff. 1t follows:

2; assault and Battery, gaming. vag-

Total number misdemeanors, 90.
Total number in jail 2S5.
The report given is considered
very favorable one, and when consid-
Grafton is given of the fact that of
the 81 misdemeanors recorded 10 were
committed to jail after December Is,
1907 it is considered even more COM
mendabie.
During the year 1907 there were 1905
persons committed to the Jefferson
county jail. This number gives an
average of about $50 per month, or
about II each day. Figures show that
