SOME STORIES
AROUND TOWN

Don, the fine bird dog of Mr.. Roy
Dawson. has formed friendship with
Mack, the horse of Fire Chief Wood,
as firm as any two college chums.
Whenever Mack is near the fire sta
ton Don may be seen close by, and
he will Jump around the fire horse
and play. Recently the horse was
sick. and was kept in the stall for a
week, but Don never deserted his
friend, and for several hours of the
day would remain in the stall with
the horse. Don appeared distressed
that Mack was sick, and apparently
expressed his delight when the chiefs
horse was abe to be in harness again.
TIE horse and dog appear TO be in
separable companions. and while the
horse is on the street, frequently Don
may be seen following close by.

Graves County Farmer Enjoys Hos
pitality of Colored Home at
Great Expense. ~.

r. +. Johnson, a Graves county
farmer, had some trouble last night
with tobacco money he received yes
terday. Johnson was relieved of 8
roll of bills containing about $40 and
got SEQ OF II back. Lula Helms and
her husband, Will Helms. colored
who five at GIG Kentucky avenue
were bound, over to the grand jury
this morning under 5000 bail on q
charge of grand larceny for taking
Johnson's money. The Graves coun'
ty farmer received about sos yester
day for tobacco he had sold and with
the money he brought with him he
had $50. After making a few rounds
in the city Johnson went out on Ken
lucky avenue to the Helms home. He
was there probably a half hour and
then went over to Ninth street and
Kentucky avenue to buy some hot Ia
males and discovered his money was
gone. He went back to the house
and asked Lula for his money, and
Instead of getting his roll, the wom-
an threatened 20 have him arrested.
Johnson foundiPatrolman Clark. Both
men then went after the money and
after a little argument the woman
went to the door and called her hus-
band. who was across the street. and
he produced $50 of the money and
the other $40 is still missing.
In the trial this morning Lula
Helms declared that Johnson lost his
roll and that she sent her husband
out with the money to return IL to
its owner After the money was turn
ed over to the patrolman the woman
excused herself for a minute and took
a sneak out the back door and ran
to Tenth and Husbands streets be-
fore she was caught. Patrolmen
Clark and Gillian made the arrest

our forefathers won. We have vel
things, greater than they ever dreamed
| Of, to perform. We begin to under.
stand that 1t was not the constitution
but the spirit of the Declaration OF
Independence that was divinely pro
mulgated. The constitution was the
grudging compromise made by sus-
picious representatives of Jealous
states for their mutual protection
The spirit in which the constitution
was conceived matured in the Sixties
in the Civil war.
That constitution has served its
purpose well and will continue to do
so. II has been twisted and turned
in every direction to suit the varying
purposes and views of succeeding gen.
erations. It is simply a matter of IN
depreciation.
We are gradually evolving a gov
eminent founded, not on the animos-
tiles of rival states, but on the
brotherhood of man. To us state
rights Is only a name. There prob
ably isn't a man living, who believes
in the theory. We have come TO the
conclusion that state legislatures are
greatly interfering with the best de-
velopment OF our municipalities. but
we do not speak of Getty rights. We
speak of local self-government, and
that is what we mean when we say
Estate rights; a very different thing
from that over which our fathers shot
one another.
That there will be fundamental
changes in the form Of government,
we doubt; but as our courts swung,
like a well balanced magnetic needle.
TO indicate the materialistic tendency
Of an epoch that is passing; so our
courts are slowly responding to the
impulses of humanity in
this country.
We are not afraid OF one another
az were the trainers OF the constitu-
ton. We do not fear the people
has every generation
that has gone before us We trust
ourselves, We trust one another, and
We are learning 10 play our instru-
ments. whether we think so or not.
Harmony is law Of God.

TIL This Recipe Was Tried. Cure Fol-
lowed In ) Hours.


A prominent medical man, who
suffered with a severe cough and
cold on the lungs, often being kept
awake all night. and weakened by
loss of sleep, finally discovered a
simple formula which will cure any
cough in five hours by the clock. II
Is laxative tonic cough syrup which
can be made at home by any one and
the formula is here given for the
benefit OF those who pass sleepless
nights in painful paroxysms. Those
who have tried II say It is magical,
and beats any high-priced. slow-act-
ing cough medicine ever sold.
Mix in a bottle, one-half ounce
fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence cardiol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound.
Take twenty drops every haif hour
for four hours. Then take one-haaf
to one teaspoonful three or four
times a day. Give children less ac-
cording to age. This will tone un
and rid the system Of deep-seated
coughs every time.

THE CELESTIAL HARMONY.

DR.. Guy Carleton Lee metaphoric-
ally described this nation as a great
orchestra under divine leadership.
Some players are willfully perverse;
most have not yet mastered their in
struments: the harmony is broken by
frequent discords; but every effort
brings the great orchestra nearer per-
fection. II is useless to attempt to
follow his word painting, but he con-
c'uded significantly that this is a
period OF rehearsal, not the concert
performance. and In that sentence he
expresses the idea that is slowing de-
velopfng IN the brain OF the nation.
The age of the pioneer in America is
not yet over.
We are beginning to realize that
we have as yet an imperfect Democ-
racy. We are not to be content with
