Use of LANGUAGES.

The most extensively spoken Ian
euage is Chinese, but as there are so
many dialects in the language and as
these differ so greatly in the confines
or Mongolia and Thibet from those
around Pekin, it is scarcely correct to
say that the 3S2,000,000 Celestials all
speak one language. Putting, there
fore, China aside, the most spoken
languages in the world are as fol-
lows, in millions: English, 1870; Ger
man, 20; Russian, 6S; Spanish. A;
Portuguese, 80.

THE OLD HITcHING POST.
II May Be Useful, but Is UnsiehtIy and
Generally Town Nuisance.

That good old hitching post! What
familiar object to all of us who had
the good fortune to be reared near a
! country town. Still, while tender
memories hang around the old post,
there is much about ii at times worthy
of condemnation. There is nothing
that makes main street of a small
town look so shabby and thoroughly
countrified and back-woodsh as a row
Of rickety old hitchipg posts on each
side of the street Constant tramping
and paving near them makes holes in
the ground, unsightly mud-holes in
damp weather and ill-smelling and of
fensiye in numerous respects. 1t may
appear a bit Of enterprise on the part
of the merchant to erect a number OF
posts in front of his store but does he
gain business by it? How often do
you see Farmer Shortcrop drive in, tie
his team to the post in front OF Smiths
store and go over TO Green's 20 do his
trading? AS long as hitching posts are
allowed TO occupy places in front of
stores on main streets it will be inn
possible to keep the streets in the
@eat and good condition that they
should be in. Far better to have on
some unoccupied street within easy
reach OF the business sections posts
where the farmers can hitch their

Merit VS. Prizes.


Premium schemes and prize Offer
1ngs held out as bait to the people to
get them to use certain brands OF
goods should be very carefully consd-
cred, The most common plan is the
certificate deal, by which is promised
some article represented to be worth
the total amount Paid for goods, #
only certain number be saved. Com
mon business sense assures that when
such a proposition is made the goods
must be of an inferior quality, or that
there is a catch somewhere Goods OF
merit do not have to carry prize in
order that they be in demand. People
are quick to buy goods of merit, par.
ucularly IN the staple line, if they
know OF them. OF the standard brands
of foodstuffs, of cigars, of thread, of
different other things, how many are
giving prizes? This is not the case
with numerous classes of goods that
are sold With premium attachment.
Most of them are of inferior quality
and the price paid for them more THAI
covers the cost Of the premium given.
1t is the old glimmer Of getting some
thing for nothing, and the women who
want trading STAMPS, CT a prize with
their purchases, pay pretty dearly for
their whistles"

Throw EN- Down Babies.

II WONDER" unused the young father,
what there is in a baby's makeup
that prompts him to drop things. 1t
isn't really dropping, thoughts
throwing. Ny baby is good about
sleeping and behaving when there is
company, but everything he can snatch
he Immediately dings to the door. I've
noticed and known a lot Of others, too,
who do the same thing. It's not only
the joy Of throwing, but the delight IN
seeing somebody pick the stun up.
Babies certainly seem to take a fiend-
ish delight in watching their fathers
and mothers or nurses pick up the
toys and other things which they
throw out Of their beds, carriages and
chairs. My boy used to be quite pleas
ed with rubber toy attached by a
string to his carriage SO that it Just
escaped the ground. He would grin
and dangle it for hours. Now he yells
as soon as he discovers 1t Is fastened,
and the minute we give 1t to him loose,
bang. It goes ON to the ground, while
he laughs aloud in his joy. There's
probably a reason, and the psycholo-
gists will discover 1t some day."-Ex-

A Sailors Christening.

1.-THE late Bishop Potter once in his

on the Massachusetts, coast" says a
writer in Harpers Weekly. 1.-THE
proud father. young fisherman, awk.
wardly holding his firstborn daughter,
was visibly embarrassed under the
scrutiny of the many eyes in the con.
gregation, and his nervousness was not
decreased by the sudden waiiing of the
infant as they stood at the front.
when the time for the baptism OF
the babe arrived the bishop noticed
that the father was holding the child
SO that its fat little legs pointed toward
the font.

but the father was too disconnected to
hear or understand.

The Holy Grail.

From a book reviewed a passage is
quoted in which mention is made of
"the holy grail, the sang-real or true
blood of God" This used to be COM
mon mistake, and SO learned a man
as Thomas Warrior in his Remarks
on Sponsors limitations From Old Ro-
mances" writes, 1.-THE holy grale, that
is the real blood Of our Blessed
Saviour" But this is wrong. It is
the holy grale, or vessel, and does not
mean real blood, though it contained
the real blood, collected by Joseph of
Arimathea. 1t was made from dia-
mond and emerald which fell from the
crown Of Satan when he fought with
Michael. NJ. de villemarQue, who has
written about Armoric legends, says
that this jewel was q diamond. The
word greal is old French, as under
stand. for I have no knowledge my
self that 1t Is so. In the legend of
Perctval 1t Is shown that the grail is
q vessel. 1.-The holy grail! Percival

another. Then from the shining YES

BINGHAM ATTACKED
Brewery Interest Sends Cop
les of Old indictments
Over the State.
NO EXPLANATIONS MADE.

Indianapolis. Ind, Oct. 24.-In their
fight against Attorney General James
Bingham the allied brewery interests
are sending broadcast over the state,
especially to the ministers of all de-
nominations, a paper, unsigned, and
containing Photographic cuts of indict-
ments against Attorney General Bling
ham returned by the Federal Grand
Jury during the November term of the
Federal Court in 1888. No explanation
is given other than the caption, "A
Page From the Life History of Attor-
ney General James Bingham, of Ind
lana" Nothing is said relative to a
conviction or as to what became of
the indictments. No mention is made
that no further action was brought
against Mr.. Bingham. No mention is
made of the fact that the charges
against him were found to be ground
ward nolled:
The indictments-two in number
charge the attorney general, who was
then Republican county chairman in
Fountain County, with conspiracy and
bribery in connection with the election
at the time Benjamin Harrison made
his race for the presidency. The
charges, it is contended by Mr.. Bing-
hams friends, were brought by Demo
Gratis for political purposes. Imme-
diately after the indictments were re-
turned, Mr.. Bingham asked for an i'm.
mediate hearing. This was denied.
He had pleaded not guilty. John E.
Lamb, now the vice chairman of the
Democratic national committee, was
the district attorne atty the time. The
indictments were signed by Solomon
Claypool, his assistant. The indict-
ments were signed by Solomon Clay
pool, his assistant. The indictments
were nolled in July, 1899.

Loss IS MILLIONS
Night Rider Depredatlons
Have Been Costly, Says
Governor Wilson.
PEOPLE FLEE FROM STATE.

Frankfort, KY, Oct. 24.-Advertisad
to address the voters of Franklin
county in the interest of the national
republican ticket, Governor Wilson
spoke to big audience at the opera
house here last night.
For two hours he explained various
statements he had been quoted with
making about the tobacco growers
and denouncing the night riders.
His remarks at times were sensa-
tional, for he said that every night
rider in the dark tobacco district
democrat or republican, like Lebus,
are supporting Stanley, James and
Thomas for congress-"
He added that for eight months
there have been 5000 homes in Ken
lucky in which the occupants have
been afraid to go to sleep, and that
the value of property has fallen $1O,'
100000 as a result of night rider raids.
He reiterated his statement that
there have been thousands of resi-
dents driven from the state because
they were not permitted to till their
lands as they saw fit. He said that
he knew the general Of the night rid.
ers, and that he lived in the hope that
the time would come before the end
of his administration that could put
him in the penitentiary.
His most sensational statement was
that it had been recently revealed to
him that a night rider lodge voted to
rob a bank because they needed
money to carry on their cowardly war
fare.

man. The great Athenian stands in g
class all by himself, IL we are to be
lieve the consensus of learned opinion
Cicero, it is said, prided himself on his
faculty of extemporizing at need, bu'
probably trusted little to it on greai
occasions, while with Demosthenes II
was the rule never to speak without
the most careful preparation. The
speeches Of both were spoken withou
manuscript. They would never have
made the reputation they did If they
had been tied down to their notes.

FIRST TO ACT
UNDER new LAW
Petition to Bar Claims Against
Williams Estate.

The first proceeding of the kind,
was filed in the Wayne circuit court
today, when a petition of Olinda
Hinchman and others was entered in
the probate court. 1t is a petition in
the matter of the estate of Olive VIII
liams, deceased, for an order barring
claims not filed within twelve months
of the time of death.
The legislature of 1907 passed an
act which provides that in case a
person owning real estate dies and no
testator is appointed, claims prese nted
later than twelve months after death
are not valid. No opportunity had
been presented heretofore to take adj
vantage of this law in this state.

NO REDUCED RATES
AFTER JANUARY !
Genuine Alarm Felt by the
Railroads.

Local passenger officials have re-
ceived notice from the Western Pas.
senger association that nearly every
railroad in that association has agreed
to abolish all low or reduced rates aft.
er Jan. 1, 1909. This determination
has been reached because of the ankle.
ty caused by the reductions in the net
passenger revenues of the western
roads. These reductions are laid at
the door of the reduced rates, and gen
uine alarm is felt for the future. Rail
road officials declare that, with two,
cent rate generally, there can be no
reduced rates without passing the
margin of profit.
