He Was A Clergyman.

According to the Pittsburg Press
a couple of New Workers were play
ing golf on New Jersey course on
election day when they saw a fine
appearing old gentleman looking at
them wistfully. They asked him to
join the game, which he did with
alacrity. He was mild in speech
and manner and played well. But
one when he made a foozle he ejacu-
lated vehemently the word:
"Croton!"
A few minutes later, when he had
made another bad play, he repeated:
"Croton."
The fourth time he said this one
of his new-made friends said: II do
not want to be inquisitive, but will
you tell me why you say 'Croton' so
often?"

that the biggest dam near New

JUSTICE JOHN M. HARLAN PROpHESES A GREAT RACE WAR
He Would Vote 100000 q Year For Bigger Navy
Must Fight Yellow Men--Conilict Will Shake the
Earth and He Wants the United States
u Be Prerared For It

Washington, u. C.-That there
will be eventually conflict between
the yellow race and the white race
that will shake the earth is the
opinion of Justice John Marshall
Harlan. of tho United States Supreme
Court. In IN address before the
Navy League nf the United States,
this eminent jurist, according to the
Washington Post, said:
IL had the opportunity would
vote for an appropriation of $780,
100000 a year for period of ten
years for larger navy. The great
importance OF navy is shown in the
Constitution, which restricts the ap-
propriations for the army, but sets
no limit for those for the navy. There
is no such thing as friendship be-
tween nations as between men. Ma
tions make no sacrifice to preserve
friendships and do not forbear to do
certain things because they do not
meet with the approval of another
nation. DO you think England cares
a cent for. what we think OF her
navy? Or Germany cares cent?
How large navy ought we to
have? That is question ] cannot
answer any more than whether n
hospital ship ought to be command
ed by a naval officer or surgeon.
l don't care how large a navy we
have, but l want to see a navy large
enough, to take care of the Pacific
and Atlantic Oceans and our ports
on those oceans

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof

them harm is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give 1t up for good

A girl writes: Mother had beer
suffering with nervous headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin OF
mine had done who had taken tc
Postum. But mother was such q
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give It up.

change to Postum, and quickly heI

New York Clty.-A canvass of the
sentiment in dozen important
trades. as expressed by members of
different Industries and the edi-
torial opinions of recognized trade
journals in the last few days, has
developed a distinctly hopeful tone
for the outlook for 1908. OF 1907
there is apparently a common opin-
ion-that the first eight months
were satisfactory to marked de-
gree, and in some instances sur
passed former records as far as vol
ume of business was concerned. The
financial disturbances of last fall,
however, brought about a great
change in this respect, and several
trades suffered severely. A state
ment of conditions in a majority of
the trades covered appears to those
most interested to Justify the expec-
tations of good business in 1908.
Particularly is this the case in a
good many of the dry goods trades.
A member of one of the largest i'm
porting houses in New York, whose
buyers reach every important centre
in Europe and with salesmen in every
section of the United States. declared
that the reports which lis firm re-
ceived were distinctly encouraging
for trade recovery all over the
country. The reports from all over
the Middle, Western and Southern
States indicated the best Christmas
trade among retailers on record.
These reports covered San Franc'S-
co, Portland, Los Angeles and Ia
coma on Ihe coast; Minneapolis, st.
Paul. Milwaukee and other cities in
the Middle West, and several cities
such ss San Antonio. in the South
west, Atlanta, in the Southeast.

Eycs Of Deep.sea Fish.

Few people know that when deep
sea fish are taken from the water their
eyes pop from their heads" said e..
b. Wynn, of Mobile. This is due
to being relieved of the tremendous
water pressure and coming in con-
tact with air. On the Gulf Coast,
where thousands of fish are caught
daily, one can see hundreds and hum
dreds of deep-water fish with eyes
hanging from their sockets "--Nash-
Vile Tennesseean.

Health OF Fish Eaters.

"If people would eat more fish and
less beef and hog meat they would
be much better off, said w. S. Nit
chell, of Corpus Christi, Tex, at the
Hotel Duncan People who live In
coast towns and who have sea food
day in and day out never suffer from
indigestion like the folks who eat
steaks, bacon and ham. The flesh of a
fish contains great nourishment and
is most healthful. Up in this part of
the country it is almost impossible
to get a fish well cooked. So few
people know how to prepare them
Just right"

has been none from the West. lust
across the water there is a country
with an immense population whose
commerce we are seeking. We re-
fer to the people of Asia as the yell
low race. There are 100000, 900
Chinese, as strong physically and
mentally as we are.
There Is. over there another ma
tion whose people are progressive
and ambitious. We may some day
see skilled army in Japan of from
100000 to 100000. They will
say: You claim Europe as your
country. This is ours. Get out!'
I don't think they have any such
idea now, and we have no hostility
toward them. But there will be a
conflict between the yellow race and
the white race that will shake the
earth. When 1t comes l want to see
this country with a navy on both
oceans that will be strong enough. I"
In conjunction with his belief in
the obligation TO build ships, Justice
Harlan holds that 1t is the duty of
the country to fortify thoroughly
every seaport under the American
flag and make 1t impregnable. War
comes suddenly, he says, and from
the most peaceful outlook It may de-
velop before It is possible to make
preparations. or even to build a
battleship. much less a navy.
He believes that a nation which is
weak in martial spirit, or which has
not strong navy. is In danger of
being forced into war when 1t is
not desired. and when the nation is
least able to meet such an emergency.

Combined with this continued de-
mand upon the retailer is the fact
that little or no goods have been
bought since the early fall, and
stocks are becoming relatively ex-
hausted. From the source referred
to above 1t was learned, for ex-
ample, that one house In a Southern
city sold $193,000 of goods In No
vember and bought $4,000. AS q
result, orders which were Cancelled
are reported as being renewed and
new orders received to replenish
stocks that were neglected in the
weeks of uncertainty following the
financial furry.
Coupled with this increase of de-
mand, an improvement in collections
Is reported in many branches of the
dry goods trade, which bids fair to
bring that element of the business
back to normal within a comparative
ly short time, SO far as the interior
of the country Is concerned. The
prediction is being made in dry
goods circles that this fact coupled
with the release of boarded money
by interior banks will operate to ease
the money situation materially with
in the next sixty days.
Reports received by one large
house from nine different centres of
manufacture for exports on the other
side of the Atlantic indicate that the
European trade organizations and
the individual producers. regardless
Of such membership, will do what
they can to maintain prices with the
idea of curtailing production rather
than create situation where prices
will have to come down, to the injury
both of the producer and of the
American importer.

An interesting experiment made in
June by a physician, proved conclu-
sively that for the sake of GOODNESS
only white should be worn in hot
weather.
The physician spread out in an
intense sunshine a large piece of
white cloth, another of dark yellow,
another of light green. another of
dark green. another of blue and an
other of black.
Then with the help of six ther-
mometers. he made the following
table of the various heats which each
color received from the sunlight:
White, 100 degrees; dark yellow, 140
degrees; light green, 155 degrees;
dark green. 16S degrees; blue, 1913
degrees; black, 20S degrees.
Thus the physician proved that in
July or August the man in white is
little less than twice as cool as
the man in blue, and a little more
than twice as cool as the man in
black.

Age OF The Legal Wig.

The use of wigs by judges and
barristers is not very ancient. 1t was
introduced, imagine, toward the end
of the seventeenth or at the begin

it had become the fashion at court.
Bishops continued to use wigs longer
than their clergy, but they have dis
carded them, to their great advant-
age, for many years now.
