His Clever Scheme.

From Lippincott's.
 The man with the large head and the protruding eyebrows stepped into the ci- gar emporium
 Give me the poorest cigar you've got. :"
 Five or ten center?" aueried the man behind the showcase.
 q don't know whether you're going to give me a five or ten-center I'm going to give you a dime. Remember, now, the poorest cigar in the place
 The clerk handed out box and the GUS toner selected one, calmly lighted it, and puffed curiously' Then he left. with an air of supreme satisfaction.
 "Ah. This tastes good. he muttered on the outside. 'I knew my little scheme would work The fellow gave me the best cigar he had in the store"
 The cigar dispenser on the inside solilo- quzed:
 q just took that old codger at his word. I handed him box of three-for-a- nickel''

HOW LONG WILL THE
 AMERICAN REPUBLICS LIVE

phasis any ambition to be elected to a third term. But if the American republic tomorrow were threatened with serious civil turmoil or dangerous foreign war could even his passionate refusal prevent his being compelled, against his will, re- maining in office until the republic was out of danger? The instinct of the de- mocracy in time of crisis is to rally round the individual who is known and trusted. Before that imperious instinct, constitu- tional interests and traditional precedents are but as the withes by which the Phil istines bound the sleeping Samson

kept But Not Used.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
 George Raves, clerk at the Fairmont, who is English but is ambitious to out grow it, was discussing the endurance contest in Judge Lawlor's court
 "Of course I know you got your jury system from England" he said. "and so suppose I ought not to criticise it. But this is a country of progress, and you ought to try to make some improve ment"
 Suggest one." interposed Attorney Gen. eral Iauck, who was passing.
 Well. you might allow more leeway in the matter of having opinions. Now, if I were a talesman l should not consider it a bar to jury service if had an opin- ion. I could lay it aside while the trial was on,'
 And what would you do with the opin- ion while it was laid aside?'
 T would keep it.

The Philosopher of Folly.

From the Cleveland Leader.
 If there's any one class of men that makes me nervous says the Philosopher of Folly, its the kind that likes to sit down in rocking chair and rock hard"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-11-29

Edward VII can boast of having got France into a pretty mess.
 Since all the world is agreed that his majesty wishes at any price to ruin German commerce it is only fair to point out that he is trying the most practical way-that of getting other nations to make war on Germany for the good of British commerce and the destruction of the rival.
 More than that. Were France and Germany at war. it would be possible for England to stab her rival in the back while the French army was be- ing massacred and thus occupying German attention. Of course. the re- suit of the plan would be much more certain still if Germany found a third power lined up against her. And so, forgetting her old-age hatred of Russia. England has not hestated one instant to offer friendship to the hated Rus sians, if only they will join her in de- stroying her terrible commercial rival.
 Under such circumstances the Eu ropean conha grafton is inevitable though it needs courage to say it. It is so easy to take refuge in culpable and stupid conhdencel
 When will the armed conflict take place?
 When one bears in mind the ridicu lous quarrel Germany sought to thrust upon us apropos of the deserters from our foreign legion at Casablanca, one has the right to answer: Europe may be on fire any day-any dayr'

w. G. Anderson and his admirable
family.
The doctor is an exceptionally fine
physician, thoroughly up-to-date in
the various branches of his profess

cessful in his practice during his So

AS "next-door neighbor' of the
family for the past year and more,
we speak advisedly when we say
that more eongenial, pleasant people
could not be found anywhere.
We understand that it is the doc

Citizens Meeting.

A few of our citizens gathered at

and the laying Of a Waterman thrO'

The sentiment of those present
was unanimously i'm favor of the
proposition, but owing to the alb
sonce from the meeting of a number
of those vitality interested, it was
decided to postpone action until af-
ter a meeting to be held Friday,
March 9th, at which time it is
hoped larger attendance of prop
erty owners will be had and at
which it is expected some figures as
to cost and resultant benefit NAV be
presented.
This is an important matter, and
every property owner in the town is
vitally nterested-show this interest
by coming out to the meeting next
Friday and giving those present the
benefit of any Information you may
be possessed of relative to the mat
ter i'm hand.

gathering of this kind, and then
kicks" at any action taken, cannot
expect much attention TO be paid to
his fault-finding.
