HE WOULDN'T POOL
His crop-Tried the Open Mar
ket, But Prices Were
Too Low.

The following interesting story is
told by the Hawesville Clarion: 1t
takes all kinds of people TO make up
a world and we presume it is only too
true. We are reminded of this at
this time by the current report that is
drifting around about two county farm
ers. The first refused to sign his to-
bacco to the organization pool, and
attempted to sell on the open market
at Greensboro. He found the price
way under what he could have OBJ
tanned in the pool, so he returned
home with it, and offered a neighbor,
who was in the organization, So cash
TO deliver two loads of tobacco for him
to Hawesville under the neighbours
name. This offer was promptly turn
ed down, and the foolish one still, has
his tobacco. Not so loyal to the or
ganizatiOn was the next man who de-
livered for dumping neighbor in the
Equity mans name. The checks
were turned over TO the bumper and
he made no effort to conceal that it
was his crop, and not the Equity mans
who delivered it. But there are few
such cases, and when they do come to
light they only serve to show a man
up in his true light, and make it plain
that he is a vulture parading as a
dove. He stands aloof from the or
gapization; they need him, thinking
the better prices will be on the outside,
but when this is disproved he cringes
on his cowardly bowels after the maui
ner of a snake and attempts to line up
some advantages for his own selfish
soul. The Equity Association is en-
titled to fair treatment. 1t is either
good OF it is bad. That it has al
ready made good, a simpering idiot
will admit.

A Really Poor Author,

When DR.. Johnson was a resident of
Grub street he made the acquaintance
Of poet named Samuel Boyse, whose
poem on the Deity and other works
had earned him high praise. Boyse
could not go abroad to seek work be-
cause his clothes were In pawn, so he
lay abed with his arms thrust through
two holes in the insective blanket
which was the only covering, writing
and starving. Johnson raised enough
money to get his clothes for him, but
two days later Boyse was in bed again,
eating a stew Of beef and mushrooms
purchased by the repawning of bis
suit. 81 might as well eat while ]
may" he said, "for must some day
starve, whether l will or not"

years the number of divorces granted
in this country has been nearly treb-

countries, do the figures exceed those

ter is that the courts appear to be
doing little to head off this depIora-
BILE state of affairs.

FORGOTTEN PRISONER,
Accused of a Small Theft, Came
Near Serving Life Sentence
in Jail.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. S.-Lost to
the world, Henry Mulson was found
in Jail today by the Marion county
grand jury. Forgotten by his acquaint-
ances and overlooked by busy officials
he had been behind the bars for 104
days without chance to defend him
self against the charge of having sto-
len a sack of potatoes. The grand
jury at once set him free.
Mulson was employed on farm
north of this city. One evening last
fall, while he was crossing a neigh
boring potato lot, he was stopped
by two men, who charged him with
having stolen a sack of potatoes, and
took him before a justice of the
peace at the village of Broad Ripple.
A firm believer in judicial dispatch.
the squire summarily bound Mulson
over to the grand jury on the charge
of grand larceny, which placed a
value of at least $25 on the stolen
sack of potatoes.
Mulson said he never had seen the
potatoes, but he was taken to the
Jail at indianapolis and the squire did
not remember to notify the county
prosecutor.
II Mulson had not been able to en-
list the kindly offices of turnkey,
who brought his case to the attention
of the grand jury, he might have
served for life.

Before Spoons We're.

The domestic spoon probably owes
its origin to the shell rather than to
the human hand. Shells Of the mus
sci, scallop and oyster, 1t is believed,
were used in prehistoric times as
spoons and ladies', the handle being
formed Of piece Of wood split at one
end to hold the shell firmly. Some saw
age nations make similar spoons up to
the present day, and tie old highland
custom Of offering whisky in a shell
has been probably handed down from
generation to generation for untold
ages.-London Graphic.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER.

1t does not strike us as good policy,
to say the least, for certain Demo-
cratic newspapers of the State to be
picking flaws in the public careers
or personal characters Of some posi-
BILE candidates for State office on the
party ticket. Some Democrats are go
ing to be nominated-that is certain.
The Democrats must have harmony in
the party in order to elect these
gentlemen-that is some more certain
ty. Every Democratic newspaper in
the State should be in an attitude of
preparedness to support the Demo-
cratic nominees, whoever they may be.
1t is we'll to search into a possible
or tentative candidates record for any
rottenness or unqualified traits, but
it is hardly right to suppose that he
believes in OF will support certain
measures without knowing. whereof
one speaks, or hearing from the gen.
tleman himself. The habit Of knock
ing" is as deplorable in politics as It
is in social affairs. Let us give the
gentlemen the privilege Of their pri-
vate views-religious and otherwise
before we take them to task for what
we think they are going to say or do,
as pertains to the public veal. There
are few of us who are capable of iudg-
ing the other fellow.
So far as public officials are con-
cerned, there have been many sur
prises. Many men have been care
lessly nominated in hopeless race
who, perhaps accidentally, won out
and made worthy and efficient Off
cials. The reverse of these condit
lions has also been true. Few men
are elected to office who are absolute
ly worthless or untrustworthy. Some
how the voters know or find out, and
act accordingly.
The Democratic party of Kentucky
wants and must have a good sound
ticket to put before the public. Upon
nothing less than this could We hope
to win. But let us go about the Sc
lection of this ticket in a calm, dis
passionate way; free from prejudices
and political animosities. Let us
pat the horse on his head while we
look him in the mouth. Let us look
into his actions as well as his pedi-
gree. He may be misrepresented for
evil or good. Well soon find that
out. But If we proceed to lash him
a few times with the caustic whip of
criticism or inuendo, he may not show
up to best advantage. Let's try
him out under favorable circum-
stances. If he's spawned, we'll find
it out before he reaches the starting
pole.
By all means let the newspapers
stand their usual ground as guardians
of the peoples interests, but let that
guardianship be tempered by fairness
towards all concerned. Democrats
have lost prestige and party victories
in the past by inveighing against
their political colleagues too bitterly
Let's quit this sort of thing.

Alarm at the increased high cost Of
living has at last reached Congress.
Pity that they didn't consider this
question during the erstwhile debate
on the tariff, which had more TO do
with that matter than anything else.
The startling increase in the cost OF
living during late months has aroused
much interest and a desire to locate
the cause. Whether or not this can
be accomplished, is broad and Sc
rious problem. A resolution has been
introduced in Congress for this pur-
pose, but it is doubtful If it will sat-
isfactorily effect the purpose. This
Is one of those cases where "a con-
dition and not a theory cOnfrOnts us. -
This has been a winter more typi-
cal of the name than any We have
had for many years. More than a
week of zero weather with accompany
ing whiteness of the landscape was
followed by a snow whose cOntinuanc
and depth was equaled by few within
tie memory of the Oldest inhabitants
Then a drop to ten below. Such con
ditions are said to be prophetic of a
good succeeding crop year. and
then perhaps it is well enough to be
reminded even once in decade as To
Just what winter really is.

ROANOKE. VA, July Is. --Verbout
got bad start yesterday and the
Champs scored three runs In the first
inning, sailing the game down. Doane
was in great form and kept the Wis
itors guessing throughout. He held
them to four seattered hits and the
Colts never had a look-in- at the
scoring.
Nerbout was taken out after the
first inning and Brennan, the Colts
first baseman, went in and finished
the game in good form. He was hit
rather hard. but kept the hingles well
scattered. and the Champs scored
only one run after he went in the
box.
Shaw got two of the hits credited
to the visitors and Dohson and Dunt-
ing got one each. The other heavy
hitters of the Richmond club found
Doane a complete puzzle and could
not connect safely.
The Colts played an errorless game
and gave Brennan great support.
while the Champs robbed the visitors
Of several hits by sensational fielding.
A running one-hand catch by Shaugh-
messy was one of the features of the
game. The score:
