The Three D'a.

Down In Greensboro" said a citizen
of that North Carolina town, 81 knew
three 'drummers.' They seemed to be
boon companions. The first one travel
ed for large brewing company in Bal
tmore. and the second represented a
Wholesale drughouse in the west.
These two men, while going through
the south. fell in with man who was
selling collins to undertakers in the
country towns. When the trio reached
Greensboro to spend Sunday-you

Popular Weather Motions.

How often do we hear the remark.
1--WE shall have rain, the atmosphere
is so heavy" The reverse is true.
When one sees smoke hanging from a
chimney, with a tendency to sink 10
the ground. it indicates that the at
mosphere is light-in fact too light to
float the smoke. When the smoke
rises from the chimney, It indicates a
heavy atmosphere. A column OF smoke
is not bad barometer, for a barometer
simply records the pressure of the at
mosphere. When the atmosphere is
light and the smoke settles. the pres
sure on the mercury Is light. and the
column falls, indicating storm. When
the atmosphere is heavy and the smoke
rises, the pressure is greater and the
column rises, indicating fair weather.
Pleasure seekers and others before
starting out should therefore watch
the smoke.

A College Man and n Quotation.

Some one once said. "A Harvard man
knows all literature but the Bible" a
startllngly sweeping generality, but
not without truth so far as the Bible is
concerned. A case in point came to
light the other day. Two Harvard men
were reading together some famous
modern orations. one of them a eulogy.
The eulogy closed with the words: 20
death. where is thy sting7 o grave.
where is thy victoryT
What a beautiful closer exclaimed
one Of the students enthusiastically.
THE man who wrote such a sentence
as that proves that the grand style in
prose did net die with the eighteenth
century"
1t should be added In fairness that
the other student was a churchman
and said nothing.-New York Tribune.

y HONEY AS A FOOD.
IL IL of Great Value as a Medic cine

It IL of Great Value as a Medi cine
and Highly Nutritious.
Starch and sugar when eaten under
60 digestive change before they are
assimilated. In honey this change has
been made to a considerable extent by
the bees. 1t is easy of assimilation and
concentrated and furnishes the same
element OF nutrition as sugar and
starch-imparts warmth and energy
AS a medicine honey has great value
and many uses. 1t is excellent in most
lung and throat affections and is often
used with great benefit in place OF cod
liver oil. Occasionally there is q person
with whom it does not agree, but most
people can learn to use IL with bene-
fetal results. Children, who have more
natural appettes, generally prefer it to
butter. Honey is laxative and sedative.
and in diseases of the bladder and kid
neys 1t is an excellent remedy. Ii has
much the same effect as wine or stimu-
lants, without the injurious effects, and
is unequaled In mead and harvest
drinks. AS an external application it
is irritating when clear and soothing
when diluted. In many places it is
much appreciated as a remedy for
Group and colds. In preserving fruit
the formic acid 1t contains makes a bet
ter preservative than sugar strip, and
1t is also used in cooking and confec-
tonery.

flowed with milk and honey, but we

.FREAR ENDORSES A
DEMOCRATIC PLANK

At the Fifth District Democratic
meeting last night, Edward Ingham,
candidate for Supervisor, accused the
Republicans of purloining the cam
paign material of the Democracy, 1T
the same time asking in. holy horror:
"Can anything good come out of De-
mocraey9"
Ingham quoted the "Suspect Hospi-
tai plank in the Democratic platform
of September 10, 1908, reading AS fol-
lows; "We favor the erection of sus-
pect hospitals at convenient points
adapted to the requirements, where
persons afflicted with disease may be
treated until such time as the nature
of their disease has been fully deter
mined" He then quoted from Gov
ernor Freap's remarks copied from the
Hawaii Herald, and published in the
Advertiser, October 20, to this effect:
'sThe intention is to build hospitals on
the different islands, SO that those who
are supposed to be afflicted may bt
treated as near to their homes as pos
sible, there making every effort to ef
feet cure
Himself proposing to do exactly
what the Democrats in their platform
said should be DONE said Ingham
"Governor Frear in his Orpheun
speech charged the Democrats will
'dastardly tactics because they pre-
scented the subject of what should b,
done for the lepers, on the stump. TIL,

meet the situation by promising to do
the things that the Democrats have de-
clared for in their platform for the
past four years. Governor Frear,
forced by public opinion to do some
thing, is now taking plank from the
Democratic platform and claiming it as
his own, and then berating the Demo-
Gratis for treating the subject at all
from the stump
Rose said that some of the runners of
the Republican party were telling the
Democrats that if there are any Demo-
Gratis on the ticket they do not want to
vote for, they should make a pencil
mark through the name. This will
spoil the ballot, and that is what this
advice is being given for in order to
invalidate as many Democratic ballots
as possible.
Rose urged William p. jarrett for
Sheriff as the right man for the Office
He urged the election of Judge Edings
rs County Attorney, with Jarrett as
Sheriff and himself as Deputy Sheriff,
for he would be their legal adviser. He
urged the election of l.. l.. McCandless
FOR Delegate to Congress, of Joseph j.
Fern for Mayor, and the whole ticket,
which was n good one from top to bot
tom, with no yellow dogs on it and NO
one against whom charges could be
brought. sf
