Norman-Al-Oouar. an Arabian king
who reigned long. long ago at Hirah.
commanded the architect Sennemar to
build him a wondrous palace. This
the architect did and when it was
done a single stone fastened the whole
structure, and the cOlors of the walls
changed frequently during the day
The king was greatly pleased and
shovered all kinds of rich gifts upon
the builder with the lavishness of orr
entail kings. But monarchs were
treacherous in those old days, and it
occurred to the king that Sennemar
might build a palace equal in beauty
or even superior for some rival ruler
The more he thought over it the more
jealous he became until one day he
ordered the architect to be thrown
from the top of the palace to make
certain that no duplicate palace would
be made. After this the king was sat
isfed that his palace was the only
one. and the Arabians regarded it as
one of the wonders of the world.

BREAKFAST FRUIT.
The Best said to Be Oranges, Grapes

The Best Said to Be Oranges, Grapes
and Fresh olives.
OF all breakfast fruits the orange is
dcservedly the most paluar. It is u
food that is distinctly health giving.
Orange juice aids greatly in reducing
the amount of putrefaction found in
the intestnes of nearly all persons
who are submitted to clinical labora-
tory tests.
Grapes are another fruit that should
always he eaten freely when obtainable.
Apples are preferably eaten before re-
firing. and two are about twice as good
us one The apple habit. persisted in.
often works rather surprising results
with persons who are naturally list
less. Lemons can hardly be eaten as
fruit. but lemonade is valuable
beverage. When used as a laxative
fresh figs should form the dessert.
When not obtainable the dried figs
form good substitute.
or the value of bananas there seems
some reasonable doubt. Many persons
complain that they find them indigesti-
BILE They are quite likely to reach
this conclusion If the banana be eaten
frequently as the needless complement
of an already hearty meal. On the
other hand. there can be no doubt that
the growing popularity of the fresh
olive is fully deserved. 1t surely ranks
with the orange and the grape and is,
of course. much ahead Of either in
cases of sluggish intestines or constitu-
tiona thinness. H. Irving Hancock In

TOO COMPLICATED.
The Reason We Say "You" Inotssd of
Using "Thou."

The Reason We Say "You' Inotssd of
Using "Thou."
The reason commonly given for the
substitution of the second person
plural for the second person singular,
you" instead of "thou that it origi-
mated as fad of courtesy-may ex-
plain its origin, but its universal adop-
ton is due to a deeper reason-namely.
that the second person singular of the
verb is a complicated and difficult
form. while the second person plural
is simple to the last degree.
With every principal verb in the Ian
guage and with every auxiliary except
must the pronoun "thou' requires a
special change in the form of the verb.
which is often the only break in an
otherwise uniform series. Thus in the
present tense of every verb. with the
single exception of the verb "be.' the
pronoun you" employs the unchanged
root form of the verb, as ''you love.
have. can do. shall. will etc. while
thou" requires change of form, as
thou lowest. hast. canst, Gost, shalt.
wilt etc.
In every such choice the unchanged
root form has always the right of way.
Thus you has become everywhere
current in the busy activities of life.
while thou is carefully laid Up. in

of religion-James c. Fernald in Har-

COTTON STATES WANT
SOME OF PATRONAGE PIE

Washington. March 22.-The cotton
States want some OF the patronage
pie" and want 1t badly.
Representative Hull, of Tennessee
introduced resolution In the House
today. calling on the Secretary of State
II not incompatible with the public in
terest. to inform Congress whether the
cotton States are being deprived OF
representation in the diplomatic and
consular service in the cotton pur-
chasing countries. II SO, Mr.. Hull
wants the Secretary to transmit any
facts or Information that might be
suggestive of remedy for this condi-
ton of affairs.
In the preamble to the resolution Mr.
Hull asserts that Alabama. Arkansas,
Oklah oma, South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana. Mississippi. North
Carolina, Tennessee. Texas and Vir-
ginia, now have smaller representation
in the diplomatic and consular service
than they have had at any time In tho
history of the government. He points
out that the states he names annually
insure the balance of trade In favor of
the United States by raising and ex-
porting cotton to the amount of over
$435.000.000 in value. 1t Is asserted
that these States have not a single rep
resentative in any position of respon-
sibility in the. diplomatic and consular
service.

With work that has never paused

Venable. Sheriff Hood and his officers
are weaving q chain of evidence about
Bob Gailager. the negro arrested on
suspicion, which is thought to make
him out the guilty man.
Yesterday a suit OF overalls, corre-
spending in every respect to the
clothes which a negro woman de-
scribed as having been worn by the
fleeing murderer. whom she saw, was
found at the house In which Gallager
had slept.
The overalls were identified by CAL
lager as his own. 4
On the clothes there were several
splotches, dark red in color, which the
officers think are those of Venable's
blood. The wounded man, it Is de-
clared. had spat the blood which we'll

wound, and 1t is thought that the ex-
pectoration had spattered the clothes
Of his murderer who stood nearby.
The trousers of the suit are torn in
one place. just above the left knee in
front. where, it Is thought. the muir
derer was caught as he attempted to
slip through barbed wire fence. The
fact that the slayer of Venable did go
through wire fence in his flight is
the evidence offered by many who saw
him.
The revolver. a big Colts a.. which
was found in the room in which Gal
