A seedy-looking man entered a store in Trenton the other day, and asked for assistance, backing up his request with long tale of sickness and lack of employment. With a wink at his clerk, the mer- chant pointed to a friend who hap pened to be in the place, and replied:
 Ask that gentleman. He is the proprietor. am only clerk"
 The friend received the beggar's re- quest in a sympathetic manner, and turning to the merchant, remarked: seems to be a worthy case, MT Jones. Give him a dollar from the cash register and walked out of the store.
 It was in vain that the merchant protested that it had been a joke. So insistent did the seedy one become that de boss's" directions should be carried out, that it was finally neces- sary to do so in order to be rid of him.-[Lippincott's.

These subjects, together with 6 dis. cussion of gears, clutches and good driving in general will be talked upon at length by w. w.

Strange az it may seem some protests
have gone up from a few newspapers
and others aaginst the proposition now
before congress in the form of a bill
introduced by Senator Bourne which
provides for an increase in the presi-
Dental salary from $4,000 to 500 900
and also in the vice presidential salary
from $4,000 to $4,000. That there are
good and sufficient grounds for objec-
tions Of this sort hardly seems reason
able. 1t certainly does not seem fair
that the president of the greatest cor
poration on the face of the earth, the
United States. should receive a none
tary recompense that is really meager
when the extent of the establishment
he is forced to maintain and the state
and official entertainments that custom
has decreed he shall give are taken into
consideration. Few presidents who have
not had Independent means have been
able to save any material sum from the
salary given them. And one feature of
that vexing question as to what the
United States should do or how she
should provide for her ex-presidents
would be solved if the salary attached
to the office were sufficiently large to
permit an incumbent to save a consid-
cradle sum while he is in Office. If these
conditions prevailed he would at least
be assured of a comfortable living after
his retirement from Office without being
compelled to engage in any labor that
might be characterized in some quarters
as undignified and improper for a for
mer president of this great nation.

ROADS IN THE SOUTH.


The movement in favor of good
roads is one of the strongest that is
now receiving the attention of the
southern people. The automobile
people are doing much to push it
along. The recent races. offered in
Savannah, during Thanksgiving week,
offered an object lesson in good roads
construction to thousands of leading
citizens of this and neighboring states,
by which they have profited and by
which their home sections will profit.
But the automobile people are not do
ing it all. The farmers, the turpentine
men, the timber men and others have
taken hold of the good roads PROPOSE
ton, because it offers economy in
transportation. 1t touches the pocket
nerve, and whatever does that is pref
" certain to have careful considera-
ton.
During the next few years Georgia
will in all probability be committed to
a very comprehensive scheme of good
roads building with her convict labor
and there is every reason to think the
investment will be profitable one
Savannah and Chatham county are al
ready committed to such improve
ments We have now in view, with

GUESSING AT POPULATION.

Congressional preparation for TAX
ing the 1910 census has started sta
tisticians to making estimates of the
population of the country and predic-
tions of what it will be in 1880 James
J. Hill recently offered the prediction
that the United States would have a
population of 25O,000,00O by 1850. al
though other experts in vital statis-
tics place the number as low as 49,
100000. One of the census experts,
W. s. Rossiter. has just published an
article in which he estimates the pop-
ulation in 1910 at about 114,0OO, 900
and ventures the assertion that after
that date the rate of increase will be
very small, with the prospect that the
entire population in 1850 will not ex-
ceed 130, 100000.
The record shows that the rate of
our population increase is diminishing
with each decenniaI census. The in
crease from 1870 to 1880 was 81 per
cent. From 1880 to 1890 it was "a
per cent. From 1890 to 1900 it was
but 21 per cent. Mr.. Rossiter argues
that if this declining ratio continues
the population in 1850 will not exceed
10000. 900. and will, therefore, re-
main about stationary He shows by
the records that all estimates of pop
ulation at former census periods have
been greatly exaggerated. and that II
it were not for ever-increasing re-en-
forcement5 from abroad. the United
States would be making very poor
population headway.-Omaha Bee.

Gates Bulldog in Bronze.

John w. Gates has immortalized his
prize bulldog Blondy in enduring bronze.
Mr.. Gates Is very fond and proud of
Blondy. which, by the way. is strangely
named
After Mr.. Gates learned that Mr..
Morse's ice pool was not what it was
cracked up to be, he went abroad. and
Blondy went along. In Lucerne, Switz-
erland, Mr.. Gates ordered to be cast
in bronze "the very image of Blondy,' -
but larger than life. Again returning
from Europe recently Mr.. Gates brought
the bulldogs heroic statue. 1t stands
now directly before the door of Mr.
Gates. apartment in the Hotel Plaza
In a dim light any one would mistake
the bronze for the brindle-unless he
kicked it, which Mr.. Gates never does,
of course
The bronze dog stands-or rather
sits for it is in a sitting position-about
three and a. half feet high. The statue
is heroic in another sense. One of
Blondy's forepaws rests on the body of
a senseIess child which seems to have
escaped some great danger. The bull
dogs face bears a pleased expression, as
if it had hescued the hapless child from
a millrace or Wall street whirlpool or
something of that sort which kiddlies
and lambs should aveid.-New York

Because the law relating to the gov

needs to be amended in various par
ticulars and the fact that this work
cannot be done inside of six or eight
weeks by the legislature are no good
reasons why Topeka and other cities,
who are contemplating a change in

not go ahead and take steps requisite
to bring these changes about. The
theory of the plan is what counts and
not its details. The cities thinking of
trying the commission scheme should
make their preparations now so that
the change can be made at the time
of the regular spring elections. The
amended law will be ready to put in
operation at that time.
