FRIDAY, MAY al, 1900.

Things come right to them over in Georgia, even if 1t is theoretically prohibition State. A Harris county man, while stroIling in the woods near his home, found still quietly resting by a branch. He started a fire under fl and to his surprise and delight some real stun came from the worm. Wasn't that nice? He could not help the still being there, could he? He couldn't pre- vent the juice from coming out when the fire was built. could he? Of course he couldn't, and when he was brought up before the revenue official he de- eiared that he just found the thing; didn't know who owned 1t or who left 1t on his land, or anything about 1t. All he was certain about was that he found it and warmed 1t up. and the outcome was so good that he soon for got that he was living in quasi pro- hibition State. He was bound over to give him time to remember things. but the probability Is that he will forget more than ever as time passes. But the case is interesting. however 1t may end.

 The expression Thank you" Is much more current in England than Am erica. It is also used with much wider significance. often ns the equivalent of "I beg your pardon" For instance an English person passing before an- other. or perhaps Jostling one or even treading on his foot will say in apoll- ogy. Thank you," The phrase IS heard constantly. If a salesman in a shop or a newsboy on the streets soc licits your custom and you refuse it. he will say Thank you" quite as cheerfully as 1t you made a purchase. There is a difference in the utterance, too. The English emphasize the sec- ond word very strongly and finish with rising infection. as If asking a question. An American Is recognized at once by his accenting the word thank" and closing with the fallinR infection.

4 MORNING THOUGHT
BY J. MARVIN NICHOLS.

An ancient poet told the painters of Greece. in a time of great decadence their ln art; pictS1es f1 write tSs under Tnder SermOnette of the animals they in-
 tepd to portray. implying that without this, 1t would be irnpos- from another. That was a very bitter satire upon the painters.
 Some mems religion is such that you would would I., never ssuspeet that they were unless they carried about with them the label. The early. Church lived their christianity so that it could be came among the disciples he saw the grace of God. The moment his eye rested upon the canvas he could tell the picture; So decided was the like and their Master that they were called Christians. What Is needed today is religion that can be seen" as well as heard.
 The little difference between what you earn and what you spend Is power. It always measures the distance be- tween success and failure.
 I know some who are fighting brave ly, and what seems a losing battle. for no other reason than the lack of time ly aid.
 Tn whatever form love presents It. self there Is always something vial about 1t. Love is love-however eG19n- monplacs It may seem
 The first start in life means every thing to the man who wants to do right. Thrice blessed Is he who gives the start.
 There ought to be q foundation stone that commercial floods, panics and dis acters canot wash away.
 You may reduce love to ashes, but from them will rise a flame that can consume a home or city or burn up a world.
 If you want to get your aches and trials out of sight. hide them under your mercies.
 Don't bother so much about wearing a crown--pe sure that your head is worthy of it.

Governor Stuart Dawes Pennsylvania
 Politicians by His Yet0es. Harrisburg Dispatch to The New York
 Press.
 With the last of h;s vetoes on items of the appropriation bill on Saturday night, Governor Stuart cut out a total in round figures of $21.000,000 in a measure carrying $67 100000 for the States expenditures for the next two fiscal years.
 This great cut has dazed the politt- clans but the Governor says the State will have to get along without get ting further into debt. His biggest cut was $2,00O, ,000 in the s4,000.000 ap- propriated under the State highways act. He vetoed the item. He vetoed the item raising the salaries of all judges in the State, thus saving $500,- 900. The University of Pennsylvania suffered $25O.000 by the prtming. but will get S450. 100000: All other State educational institutions were hit by the Governors vetoes. The hospitals lose more than $1.500,000. and charita- ble institutions a million. All forms of petty graft were extinguished by the Governor. He cut $250,000 from the uniform primaries appropriation, leaving it at $750,OOO. and s5oO.ooo is lost for the bicycle highway paths.
 The general opinion of the State sus- tains the drastic work of Governor Stuart.
