Col. WATTERsoN in the Louisville

Col. WATTERSON in the Louisville
Courier-Journal says: Insurgency was
a makeshift. If there be anything in
republicanism, it was traitor 1t will
be revealed as a doughface. For, when
the democratic measure of just revis-
ion, reduction and reform comes up, it
will be antagonized by every insurgent
who has not made up his mind to turn
democrat. Thus it is said that we shall
get for 1912 a straight issue between a
tariff for protection supported by the
republicans, and a tariff for revenue
supported by the democrats.

Law and the Queen.

The quaintness Of many provisions
Of British law is curiously illustrated
in the status of the queen of England
So far as her majesty's private busi-
ness is concerned, she is not regarded
by the laws and customs of England
as a married woman at all. She is the
only woman in Great Britain who does
not come within the scope of the mar
ried woman's property act. The idea
in all this is that affairs of state con
sumo all the time of the king, and
therefore no responsibility for the
queens private business rests upon
him. If the queen contracted debts in
her husbands name he would not be
responsible for them, as any other
husband in the United Kingdom would.
The king cannot be sued for debt. but
the queen can be. Should the king die,
some authorities hold that the queen
could not marry again. in case she
wished to, without the license of the
kings successor.-New York Tribune.

A healthy looking woman dressed In
deep mourning stepped on to the plat
form scales and requested the grocer's
clerk to ascertain her weight. lie
looked and said "One hundred and
forty pounds"
"You made mistake of twelve
pounds in that woman's weight" said
another man who had also watched
the scales. "She weighed 1872 pounds
instead of 140."
81 know that" said the clerk, but
she never would have forgiven me If |
had told her so. That woman's hus-
band died about six weeks ago. She
has gained seven pounds in that time,
but to keep her in good humor with
herself ! had to make her think she
had lost five. | don't know why it is.
but anybody who has suffered bereave-
ment seems to consider it disgrace to
take on flesh. That woman has been
weighed three times since her husband
died. She would be shocked if she
knew she had gained right along. For
tunately she is too nearsighted to read
the scales herself, so it is easy to
make her think she is wasting away"

Chrysanthemums.

Chrysanthemums stand fourth in
commercial importance among flowers.
Only the rose. the violet and the car
nation surpass them, and that chiefly
because the chrysanthemum season is
so short, while the others can be had
from the florist nearly the whole year
round. Greece gavs us the name.
Chrysanthemum means golden flow
er." But the name was invented long
before the big butter yellow globes
were known in the occident. 1t re-
ferred to the prevailing gold in the
small varieties that were known.
Strangely enough, the first chrysan-
themum brought into Europe was not
gold, but purple. 1t was small flow
er about two inches across, shaped
like an aster. Somebody took it to
Europe from China in 1790-and, pres
to, the modern history Of chrysanthe-
NUNS was egun.-Argonaut.

How They Get EN-.

The sad looking man climbed into
the bootblack's chair to have his shoes
shined.
"And is your father bootblack,
too?" he asked, by way of making con-
versation.
"No, SIR" replied the lad. "My fa-
ther is farmer"
"Ah, farmerv' cried the sad look
ing man as spasm almost akin to joy
spread over his features. As he reach
ed into his pocket for a notebook and
pencil he began to humble a sort OF
gibberish. 1t sounded like this:
"Farmer, hey? Farmer-hay. Son,
bootblack. Son shines. All! l have
it. Your father evidently believes in
making hay while the son Shines"
Perhaps it is needless to explain that
instead of being a mild lunatic the
sad looking man was one of those pro-
fessional humorists who write funny
pieces for the papers.-Philadelphia
Ledger.
