Carl Carey Anderson.

have the mayoralty job held down by a Republican, even after he was elect. ed congressman and away in Wash ington. So he delegated his power to a Democratic justice of the peace. This irritated the Republican council, which appointed a mayor itself. Then the Republican president of the coun- cil rose in his wrath and declared that in the absence of the real mayor in Washington, he was mayor, so there. That made four. Then Congressman Mayor Anderson, hoping to simplify matters, wrote back from Washington "deposing" the justice of the peace he had first named and substituting Re- publican. But the Democrat said he had no right to depose him without coming back to town.
 At this point the riddle was good enough to take into court. Congress man Anderson, aside from his attempt to provide the town with superfluous mayors and real political comedy, has had an interesting career. Like Senator Lorimer, the blonde boss" of Illinois, he began his career as a bootblack in Fremont, (O) streets That was at ten years of age. At 16 he had saved enough to buy home for his mother In 1904 he moved to Fostoria and opened an underwear factory, which he still owns.

AS UNDERSTOOD IN BOSTON
The Traditional Episode of "Little Miss Muffet" Brought Into
 Everyday Cognizance.

A diminutive specimen of juvenile femillinity yclept Miss Muffet had placed herself in sitting posture upon an article of household furniture ordinarily termed an ottoman or has, sock
 Ministering to the qualification of her gustatory organs by ingurgitating the coagulated portion of bovine lac teal fluid mingled with the watery serum of the same which remains after the coagulated portion has been segregated and withdrawn.
 Happening to glance downward she observed that a specimen of the genus Aranea, class Arachnida, remarkable for its ability to produce filaments of extraordinary tenuity from it's own in terior, had taken position upon the ottoman or hassock in immediate prox- unity.
 Which totally unexpected incident aroused her apprehension to such an oAtent that she immediately, not to say precipitately, arose from her sit ting posture and departed from the To- cality, leaving the intruder in undis- puted possession of the apartment.

Kjnu AIphonso Grows Bitter.

Paris, France.-A special dispatch from Madrid to the Journal gives an interview with King Alphonso, who expresses himself bitterly on the Fer Ter demonstrations abroad. He said he understood the masses, who were ever ready to take sides with what they considered right.
 But" he continued, that intellec- tual savants who do not dare to an. nounce a discovery before it is yer. flied hundred times by experiments should protest without inquiry against a judgment conformable with laws they are ignorant of and against guaranteed honor of Spanish soldiers, l cannot understand. To listen to the Frenchmen, one would think we are SavageS.

good health, with it's blessings, must un- derstand, quite clearly, that it involves the question of right living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best, each hour of recreation, of enjoy ment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute to living aright. Then the use of medicines may be dis pensed with to advantage, but under or dinary conditions in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invalu- able if taken at the proper time and the California Fig Syrup Co. holds that it is alike important to present the subject truthfully and to supply the one perfect laxative to those desiring it.
 Consequently, the Company's Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna gives general satisfaction. To get it's beneficial effects buy the genuine, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

"MlkE" FAILS TO APPEAR.
Prosecuting Witness Against Mccall,
 Warner and Johnson Mssinq.

Little Rock.-J. G. Kile, of Cisco. H., the $10,000 Mike, who is a pros ecuting witness against Monte Me Call, l. J. Warner and J. S. John son, alleged member of the Mabray swindle syndicate, did not appear at the trial when the cases were call ed in the circuit court at Little Rock Monday.
 Later in the day a telegram from the postmaster at Cisco stated that Kile had left that place for parts un- known, and that the letter from the prosecuting attorney, informing him of the time of trial, had no been de- Hyered. Without the prosecuting witness, the state cannot go to trial, and the final outcome of the proceed. ing will be watched with interest.
 J. c. Mabray, the leader of the all leged swindle syndicate, whose head quarters were at Little Rock for a time, is in jail at Des Moines, Iowa.

THE DIFFERENCE Coffee Usually Means Sickness, Bu. Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the ex- drinking Postum in its place and in this way regaining health and happi- ness can learn much from the experi- ence of others who have made the trial
 One who knows says: T drank cof- fee for breakfast every morning until I had terrible attacks of indigestion producing days of discomfort and nights of sleeplessness. tried to give up the use of coffee entirely, but found 1t hard to go from hot coffee to a glass of water. Then I tried Postum. 'It was good and the effect was so pleasant that I soon learned to love it and have used it for several years ! improved immediately after left am now entirely cured of my irdiges- tion and other troubles all of which were due to coffee. I am now well and contented and all because I changed from coffee to Postum.

TROOPS AT ELECTION
BREATHlTT" IN KEN.
 TUCkY THE SCENE.
Polling Place by Company of State Militia.

Jackson, Ky.-The arrival of one company of militia from Lexington. and its departure late in the evening for Crockettsville, the stronghold of former sheriff Ed. Callahan; streets thronged with armed mountain men. groups of citizens discussing the tense political situation, and others gathered at the little railway sta ton, awaiting the arrival of other troops, were scenes which finger as prelude to rather exciting cleo tion in Breathitt county.
 Circuit Judge J. P. Adams, the Re- publican candidate for reelection, who made the request to Governor Wilson for troops to preserve order. issued a statement in which he de- clared he was acting upon the sug- gestion of many citizens who are identified with both parties.
 A number of men heavily armed with Winchester rifles were located in the upper story of the Hargis building, isuing threats of death against many citizens and officers of the law, and they had begun to ter rorize the town by shooting on the street and exhibiting their pistols and guns.
 The group of armed mountaineers, following the lead of former Sheriff Ed. Callahan of Breathitt County, left their intrenchment at Jackson shortly after the arrival of the sol diers, and the armed guardsmen fol- lowed on double-quick marching or ders to Crockettsville, a distance of four miles from the county seat, where the most trouble was expec- ted

BuruIar Makes Biu Haul.

Newport.-R. H. Dyer, keeper of 8 grocery store and meat market, was robbed of $900 and a watch when a burglar entered his home in this city and carried off the spells. MT. Dyer was in the habit of carrying his mon- ey, instead of banking it, and it is supposed that the party who robbed him was aware of this fact MT. Dy- CT was proprietor of a general store at 118 West Washington avenue, Ar. genta, for two years, and located in Newport eight months ago.

The Best Food for Workers.

The best food for those who work with hand or brain is never high priced.
 The best example of this is found in Quaker Scotch Oats. It stands at the top among foods that supply nourish- ment and vigor, without taxing the digestion, and yet it is the least ex- Densive food one can eat.
 This great food value and low cost make it an ideal food for families who want to get the greatest good from what they eat.
 Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed plentifully on Quaker Scotch Oats will work better and with less fatigue than if fed on almost any other kind of food. All of these facts were proved and very interesting information about human foods were gathered by Pro- lessor Fisher of Yale University in 1908. You'll find Quaker Scotch Oats in regular size packages, and hermet- ically sealed tins; the latter is best for bot climates. 8

Hindoo Beliefs Stranoe.

The uneducated Hindoo (and he is in the great majority) believes that the ghost of man killed by tiger rides on the head of the beast that slew him, to warn him of danger and to guide him to new victims. It is de- clared that God provides for the tigers daily wants to the amount of one rupee day; that is to say, if the tiger kills calf worth six rupees he will not be allowed another victim for five days.
 Eating the flesh of a tiger is sup posed to give one great courage and alertness, but the whiskers must first be singed of the beast or his spirit will haunt the man who fed off him and he is likely to be turned into a tiger in the next world.
 In a small Indian village in the in terior villager was killed by tiger The police investigated the accidental death and rendered the verdict "Pandu died of tiger eating him; there was no other cause of death Nothing was left of him save his bones and some fingers, which prob ably belonged to either the right or left hand.

The Rare Gift of Courtesy.

Courtesy includes not merely social kindness, graces of speech, absence of iudeness, but honorable treatment of business associates and of all the fel low citizens with whom man of af- fairs may have business to transact It is not American to keep one citi zen waiting all day at the door be- cause he is poor, and to grant an other citizen an interview because it is believed he is rich. Wisdom is not confined in purse, and frequently much wisdom may be learned from a poor man.
