A dearth Of local news often leads to
murnurs on the part Of these who prize
local gossip above all else, and it is not
all the fault of the publisher. Any live
publisher will not fail to give all the To-

when the local department is short you
should not rail at the editor, but remem-
ber you might have committed suicide,

BEFORE THE BATTLE.

The opposing forces were drawn up
I'm battle array. Two million men Oh
each side waited for the signal to adj
vance. Between the two armies lay
an open plain, which was soon TO be
the theater of a mighty conflict. There
was to occur the most stupendous
struggle in which men had ever en-
gagged. There. indeed, was to be an
swered the most momentous question
ever propounded to humanity. On
that plain il was to be decided
whether the Anglo-SaXon or the Mon.
golian was to dominate in the worlds
affairs. At last the immovable body
and the irresistible force were ready
for the awful crash. Slowly the sun
moved toward the zenith. and still the
opposing armies waited. They had
been ready at daylight for the terrible
ordeal, and on each side Impotence
was now becoming manifest. The cap
tains asked the majors and the ma
jors asked the colonels why the delay
continued. but no one could give
satisfactory answer. At last one of
the major generals, unable longer to
stand the suspense. approached the
commander-in-chief of the army which
was to decide whether the white man
should or should not remain supreme
and asked
why are we waiting. general?
This strain is something awful 1t is
becoming extremely difficult to hold
our men in check Unless we move

thing may happen which will bring
disorder and perhaps disaster"

o'clock this morning, haven't arrived"

The Chase for Titles.

At least 80 titles, more or less au-
thentic, have been captured by Ameri-
can women In France. How many are
real? A good proportion. Others are
papal; others merely assumed. Since
titles were abolished in France the
"aristocracy" has increased fivefold.
There are five times as many dukes,
counts and all that in republican
France to-day, as there were in the
royal France of old. They spring up
like mushrooms. There is no law
against your butcher assuming the
title OF the Marquis de Tete de Veau III
&c so pleases him. And, therefore,
comes it that many girl does not get
what she pays for-poor child! How
ever, authentic titles-registered in the
Almanach de Gotha-are going cheap
these days, declares Vance Thompson,
in New Broadway Magazine. One OF
the best-known American women in
Paris makes an excellent living as
marriage broker. l have seen one or
Der lists which was brought to the at
tention Of girl with money-money
made, curiously enough, out of wooden
toothpicks. Among the titled men
offered to the wooden toothpick heir
sss were the Due de Montmorency, the
Count de Chateaubriand and the
Prince de Lecca. She hasn't chosen
yet. / recommended the Prince de
Lecca. He is of the Corsican branch
OF the Colonnas and has been trying
TO marry an American girl for years
and years. OF course, he has no money,
but the title is a good one. He is
known as the Knight of the Sorrowful
Visage; and he writes verses. Take
him." l said to the heiress. "Why?"
she asked. Because he looks like a
toothpick;" but she didn't like the rea-
son.

Men Who Think.

When a man makes a serious blum
in an Improbable enterprise, his ex-
cuse is, II didn't think" He should
have reflected on his enterprise before
engaging in it. 1t is the duty OF every
man to think. Thinking is the impor
tant thing in business. Every man
should take from five to fifty minutes
the strenuous activity surrounding
him and devote the time to thought
The brain is like the muscle; it must
have exercise, or it becomes flabby.
Cultivate concentration of thought;
study your sphere Of usefulness; cut
out the weeds that grow in your brain;
get out of the mental rut you are in;
stop drifting; keep your brain active.
Men are paid for either what they
think or what they do with their mus
cles, says the New York Weekly.
Mans muscles have limit; he can
move just so much matter by physical
force, but by thinking he has unlim-
tied possibilities. The world offers
golden prizes to the man who thinks.
You can cultivate your brain; you can
make it expand. The brain is like a
plant. Nourish it, cultivate it, care for
1t, and it will grow. The man who
thinks is the man who succeeds.

There are number of catfish men
IN this world. Their yowl is audible

marks an editorial writer in the Wash

defending woman from the assertion
that all women are cats. While placing
men in the same class may not be
much Of defense of the gentler sex,
1t is encouraging to see that there are
men broad enough to espy the small
failings of their own sex. After all,
cattishness is only an expression of
those attributes-envy, hatred, malice
and all charitableness-and from
their attacks the so-called stronger
sex is not immune.

Representative Walter r. Brownlow has been
unanimously renominated for the Sixty first

there being no other man in his district who even
so much as whispered that he wanted the job,
consequently the congressional committee of the
First Tennessee district, under the primary laws
of Tennessee, named Mr.. Brownlow the
nominee.
The First district is that which was represent
