LETTER FROM BRO. sSoDsRAss

let her go Gallagher. When the
officials of the railroads found
out these bills were passed they
went to see the federal judge.
He told them not to pay any at
tention to those rail splitter S
laws; that they did not amount
to anything. The railroad com
pany put the passenger rate back
as it was and added enough on
the freight rate to cover what
they had lost during this serge
of non-service and tomtoolery
and went their way rejoicing.
Whether these so-called senators
and legislators did this through
gross ignorance or not | am uil-
able to say. So we farmers VIII
have to make our own laws ac-
cording to Scripture, work out
our own salvation; don't believe
other people will do it for us.
Just look at the governors we
have had since Jeff Davis went
to the Senate. Just anybody who
came along and found the char
vacant would sit down in it and
call an extra Session of the legls-
lature, saying business OF impor-
lance demanded their attention.
If any of US farmers had made
any such break as that they
would have said we did not have
cultivated brains enough to
grease gimlet.
Brothers, | plowed hard today
and am writing this tonight. "A
working man can not think OF
much to write. If our official
organ is short of news they may
use this to fill in. | have Just
received another dunn in which
nv creditor as me to please have
the courtesy to call and settle.
It takes something besides cour-
tesy to pay bills. and as | have
no money l don't believe he would
accept my courtesy. If | live
am going to get on good terms
with everyone soon as possible.
Brethren, our prosperity depends
on our actions. Let us quit cuss-
in merchants, gamblers, trusts,
and syndidates and get down to
business right now. We are sole
manufacturers of t h e great
trouble we are now IN. Let US
Law aside the weight of every I
tow sack. strand of hay wire,
meal sack and strip of meat I
which has so easily done US up
and run this race with patience,
the federal Judge will then be
with us. Yours fraternally.

ANATOMY FOR THE BEGINNER.
Little Lesson Wherein Subject Is
Brought Up to Date.

Proceeding in a southerly direction
from the torso, we have the hips. use
full for padding, and the legs. The legs
hold up the body, and are sometimes
used in walking, but when riding in
automobiles they take up valuable
space which otherwise might be EN-
ployed to better advantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties of feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them
The surface of the body is covered
with cuticle, which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from bone to bone
On the face it is known as the com
plexion, and is used extensively for
commercial purposes by dermatolo
gists, painters and decorators
Between the cuticle and the bones
are the muscles, which hold the bones
together and prevent them from fall
ing out and littering up the sidewalks
as we walk along.
Packed neatly and yet compactly in
side the body are the heart, the liver
and the lungs; also the gall, which In
Americans is abnormally large.
These organs are used occasionally
by the people who own them, but their
real purpose is to furnish surgeons
living.-Lippincott's.

Women Indifferent TO Vote

Three women candidates for mem
bership to the French commercial
courts, known as 'conseils de prud-
hommes,' have been nominated, this
being the first time that such thing
has happened, although SO many wom-
en- are in business in France that for
some time it has seemed necessary
that they should have voice in these
courts. However, the women nominal
ed do not expect to be elected, as only
"a women in 1000 who could vote
have registered. French women, as a
rule do not care to vote, and among
those registered it is said are no wom-
en- prominent in business

BOUGHT GOOD TIME
WEALTHY MAN WAS HUNGRY
FOR coMPANloNsHlP.
Therefore Mr., Lynnhaven Bay and
His Companion Had, in Their
Own Words, an Ideal
Bane-up Time.

Money aint everything In this
world remarked Mr.. Lynnhaven
Bay of Virginia, thoughtfully at isn't
everything, and it won't always buy
you good time, but in this case it did.
Jim Cherrystone and had occasion
to so up to New York on business
few weeks ago. We worked mighty
hard for two or three days and on
the last evening of our stay we
thought we were entitled to as good
dinner as the Waldorf-Astoria
could dish up, with wines on the side.
Well, sir, that dinner was a corker.
From oysters to coffee and from sau
terne to champagne, there wasn't a
thing we could find fault with
"Old Jim was in his finest vein and
told some crackerjacks, and l reckon
we were as merry a pair as ever ate
a canvas-back. Mr.. Lynnhaven Bay
laughed softly at the recollection. I'VE
were both sort of scared to think of
the reckoning, but we'd done pref
ty good piece of business and we want
ed a blowout.
well sir, when we called for the
account the waiter Informed us it had
been settled. l thought l was drunk,
and hadn't heard Alright, but 1 looked
at Jim and he had the same express
sion on his face.
Who settled it, sir?' 1 Numbered
at the waiter. Who took the liberty?'
"The waiter pointed to an old fellow
wi uyhi hi c;+
ting at the next table. The old fell
low gave me an appealing sort of
look. got up and went over to him.
Sir l said. I reckon the waiter
got em mixed up. He says you paid
ours
Now, son, don't get mad with me,
said the old fellow, putting his hand
on my arm. I settled your account on
purpose. 1t wasn't anything to me.
| Why look at the money | got left He
reached down in his pocket and pulled
| out wad as big as my arm.
don't care if you have got mon
oy, you haven't got the right to settle
for my dinner said l, getting as mad
as old Nick Tucker.
| NOW, now, walt minute, says
the old chap, like he was talking to
a child. I'm from Montana. Struck
it rich out there about six months ago
and thought I'd come to New York to
see some fun. Well, I'm goin' home
tomorrow, and / amt seen thing l
never was so lonesome in my life,
and tonight, when | see you boys
over there laughin' like you was hav-
in ring-tail roarer of time, l just
thought to myself: If | pay for their
dinner maybe they'll come over here
and say something to me. I'd ruther
II they'd come an fight me than to have
to sit here all by myself tryin' to eat

asked what the sentence was
well, Miss West gave us each sen

to the tonsorial parlors to get hair

And how did you correct it?" asked
the father
why, l corrected it the only way
you could correct it, of course; and
Miss West just doubled up laughing
when she read it. and then she read
it aloud, and every one in the class
shouted. They didn't know it was my
sentence, but | did

GREAT VIRTUE IN THE ORIENT.
FiIiaI Piety Highly Regarded in Japan
and China.

Filial piety, as is we'll known, is the
special virtue of China and Japan.

One of the Paragons had a cruel
