Mr.. DOOIey" on philosophers

In the March American Magazine
"Mr. Dooley" writes a wonderful ar
ticle on philosophers" McCutch-
cons cartoons, which adorn the pages,
are almost as funny as the article.
1t is quite take.of on Professor
William James of Harvard, and his new
book "Pragmatism."
"Well, sir, says Mr., Dooley, "thim
Jameses are great family"
II thought they wers all dead or
reformed" said Mr.. Hennessy. "a

bal or"
81 refer to tn MatsachC osetts not

Dooley.
Following is "Dooley's" definition
of philosopher:
"What is a philosopher, says ye?
A philosopher, Hinnissy, is man that
is thryin' to make a livin' be thinkin'
about things that no man can think
about without tn topiv his head blow

SHAKE IN A BOTTLE TO MIX.
Advice of Noted Authority, also Gives a
Simple Home Prescription.

Now is the time when the doctor gets
busy, and the patent medicine manu-
facturers reap the harvest, unless great
care is taken to dress warmly and keep
the feet dry. This is the advice of
an old eminent authority, who says
that Rheumatism and Kidney trouble
weather is here, and also tells us what
to do in case of an attack.
Just try this simple home mix
ture at the first sign of rheumatism,
or if your back aches or you feel that
the kidneys are not acting just right.
This is said to be splendid kidney
regulator, and almost certain remedy
for all forms of Rhematism, which is
caused by uric acid in the blood, which
the kidneys fail to filter out. Any one
can easily prepare this at home and at
small cost.
Druggists in this city and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these
ingredients, or, if our readers prefer,
they will compound the mixture for

the following:
"Voile will continue to be one of the

"There is one item in her wardrobe
that no woman ought to worry about

no matter what her age or her figure,
she can readily find in the new designs

"If she wishes to add breadth to her

produced by plaits extending over the

Mr. Cleveland has undoubtedly lost
a good deal of flesh, but his medical
advisers say he is now in better health
than he has been for some months.
"How about the national questions
of the democratic partyP" Mr.. Cleve-
land was asked.
He made it plain that he did not care
to discuss political issues.

The manager of the Lakewood HOte

Wedding Customs Come from Many Lands

Wedding Customs Come from Many Lands.
The little customs that have come to
be part of the marriage ceremony
have had diverse and interesting ori-
gins. The ring has played an impor-
tant part
With the coming in Of christianity it
was no longer placed on the right fore
finger, but on the left third finger. The
priest, or in some cases the groom, first
put it. on the thumb, saying, "In the
name of the Father" on the foretinger,
adding, "In the name of the Son." on
the second finger, continuing, "In the
name of the Holy Ghost" then on the
third finger with "Amen"-snd there
it remained.
The bridal veil, says the Delineator,
originated in Bible times and was worn
Until all the public ceremonies were
over, 30 it can readily be understood
how Jacob was deceived into marrying
Leah instead of her sister Rachel. In
the Anglo-Saxon wedding ceremony q
square piece Of yelling was held over
the head of the bride to conceal hel
embarrassment.
In the later Bible days, during the
period between the betrothal and the
wedding, the bride remained with hel
friends aud could communicate with
her affiAnced only through "the friend
OF the bridegroom" as mentioned il
John iii, 20, who also performed othel
services for the groom.
Throwing shoes originated in the ole
Jewish custom of handing to the pur
chaser of land an old shoe as token O
surrender or renunciation (see Ruth il
| - The brides father gave shoe Il
the husband or threw it after him Il
signify the surrendered to him all au
thority over their daughter.
Throwing rice symbolized fruitful
ness and plenty, from it's general dis

1t is conservativeIy estimated that
Gov. Patterson will carry this county
by about three to one. The election
must be fair, because the candidates
select the clerks and judges and they
are divided equally. Each candidate
will have watcher at every voting
precinct to see the ballots cast and
counted. Each voter will cast his bat
lot for his choice and it will so be
counted, and whoever receives major
ity of the democratic votes cast in any
county will receive the vote Of that
county in the state convention. There
is no possible chance for fraud. The
elimination Of the county committee
insures this. Sixty-fve counties in the
state have hold.over or Cox committees
and these would be largely against
Patterson, which would be unfair to
him. We're every county committee in
the state q Patterson committee il
would be unfair to Carmack to have
these committees hold the election.
The fair way aud the safe way is the
way the state committee has marked
out, where each candidate chooses his
own clerks and judges and where eacl
has his own watchers. This is the bes'
informed opinion of the democrats O

others refrained from doing so. When
MIR. Bryan had delivered his speech he
left the hall, leaving Mr.. Carmack to
talk on national topics to his Memphis
friends. What was intended for feast
proved to be chilling frost. 1t was an
awful throw down, and some of Mr..
Carmack's friends said as ugly things
about Mr.. Bryan as Mr.. Carmack said
about him in the st. Louis convention

In the afternoon at the lecture Mr..

q storm of applause, but it was not con-
tagious and soon died. At the banquet
at night, where it was expected the real
play would open, the stage setting was
perfect. All the guests had assembled
and had been seated for some minutes,
when at the exact psychological mo-
ment, MIR. Carmack entered the hall
and walked its entire length in full

clapping. Here the demonstration end

Mr.. Pryan's manifest desire to remain
great and serene abstraction in so far
as Tennessee politics is concerned
knocked the props from under the Car
mack boom and it fell back upon the
old question of the action of the state
committee. At meeting of the county
committee held to arrange for prima-
ry for county officers the stereotyped
resolutions were passed by vote of 90
to denouncing the action of the high
est authority in the party. But little
opposition was offered because the res
olutions amount to nothing, Everyone
knew that there was no fault to be
found against the action of the state
committee. Everyone knew that the
purpose of the resolutions was to injure
Patterson and boost Carmack Few of
those who voted for the resolutions
, ever read the plan adopted by the state
committee or knew what they were
voting to denouuce AS a matter of
fact, few people outside of the profes-
sional politicians had given much
thought to the gubernatorial question.
But they are investigating and finding
out that the state committee has obeyed
its creator, the state convention. They
They are finding out that they are to
have direct primary vote in which

malevolence that is amazing. Lies,
Misrepresentation, unblushing mendac-
ity, brutal denunciation and the coars-
est vulgarity have been the weapons
used against him, and they have sought
to make up in noise what they lacked
in numbers. Decent and fair minded
people have grown tired of this and are
resenting it. They know that the
clamor is purely fictitious and for effect
and that when the campaign opens
there will be quite another story. They
admire Gov. Patterson's dignitied ST.
lence and lofty contempt for his detrac-
tors. Good democrats in this county
know that Mr.. Carmack has always al
lied himself with boilers and independ.
ents in local elections. They remember
that for the sake of regularity he took
the stump during the last campaign,
processing to answer Leslie M. Shaw
and without ever mentioning Gov. Pat
terson's name. They know that he
lives in Middle Tennessee, yet regis
tered in this county from the Peabody
hotel, a building that had been closed
to guests on account of its collapsing
for nine months previously. They re-
sent his failure to declare his platform
when he long ago promised to do SO,
and they look upon his sending a chal-
lenge for a joint debate without indi-
eating his grounds of complaint as dis
ingenious and unfair. OF course, when
the campaign opens he will be smoked
out. He must declare himself. He can
not tote water on both shoulders. He
can not be one thing in the country
and another in the cities. He must
either fish, cut bait or go ashore. He
must ignore the advice of fool friends
who would have him seek petty advant-
ages. The democrats of Shelby county
