And all his hair has turned as white

But one day, when they didn't know

My grandma called my grandpa VIII

My grandpas kind Of tall, and once he
held me on his knee
And said was the kind of boy my IA

And then he laughed and grandma
cried-I don't know why she
should
Because my father hasn't died, and his
health's awful good
My grandpa's very old and seems to

And people bow to him so low you'd

But something funny happened once;

HAD NO FEAR OF MICROBES.

In these degenerate days, when there
is so much fear of microbes and over
sensitive folks want their bank bills
Numbered daily for fear a few germs
may attach themselves thereto, it is re-
freshing to bark back to the days Of
the old giants who feared God only
and had no hesitancy about handling
the money of the realm, ragged and
dirty though it might be. Here, for
instance, is story going the rounds
about Prentiss, the great orator
of his day, who not only disdained the
germ theory-if he had ever heard of
it-but put his faith into practice by
swallowing a whole army of them. The
story is as follows:
'lAt one time the great and gifted
orator, Sargent S. Prentiss, of Missis-
sippi, was employed to help break a
will and came to Bastrop. The pres
ence of himself and the other eminent
counsel employed in the case, drew
great crowds to Bastrop.
"Prentiss, after he had made his
speech, engaged in game of cards all
night, became drunk and next morning
at the breakfast table called for a slice
of bread and butter. He called the at
tention of those at the hotel to the
fact that he intended, and wanted them
to witness it, to eat the most costly
breakfast ever eaten in the town Of
Bastrop.
He then laid one-thousand dollar
bank bill on top of the piece of bread,
spread butter over the bread and over
the bank bill and proceeded to eat that
extensively prepared breakfast"

PUBLIC SENTIMENT AGREES WITH
JUDGE SPEER.

Public sentiment as a whole sustains
the contention that the Panama Canal
approaches should be defended by suit
able Notifications. The United States,
by the time the canal is completed.
will have an investment there of close
on to half billion dollars. The work
is the most stupendous piece of engi-
neering the world has ever known. To
allow it to lie PROSTATE at the mercy
of a foreign foe would be criminal
Peace advocates carry their theories
too far when they insist that the gov
eminent should trust such a monu-
mental achievement to the mercy of an
enemy. Two out of three Americans
will agree with Judge Emory Speer,
who in his magnificent summing up OF
the case at the recent dinner in New
York, said:
The United States has no choice in
deciding whether the Panama Canal
shall be fortified. The canal must lie
fortified, aid heavily fortified at that,
if this country is to preserve inviolate
the neutrality of this gateway to the
western ocean. 1t is bound by treaty
with Great Britain to preserve its neu-
trality, and cannot do so with lock-
keepers and civil officers in the Pana-
ma zone.
NO other nation, not even Great
Britain, guarantees neutrality for US.
If then we are belligerent and helpless,
hostile feet might blow up the locks
and destroy the canal without violat-
ing any rule of International law. Or,
what is more dangerous, our enemy
may himself fortify and hold the canal
as an Incompatible naval base to ex-
tort from US terms humiliating to Am
erican honor and destructive to our
power among the nations of the earth. ,"

MILLIONAIRE HOBO
PLEADS FOR PENNILESS
Gives His Experiences While
Travelling Country

Chicago, Feb. 17-Laying down q
volume OF Hugo's Les 1Iiserables, I
which he was reading previous to a
elmer entertainment, Edgar A. Brown,
millionaire hobo of Denver, who
claims 10 be cousin of W. c. Brown,
President of the New York Central
outlined briefly his experiences in in
vestigating sociological conditions IN
the underworld Of the largest Ameri-
can cities. He has just completed a
two years tour in which he dressed
and passed as man out of work.
Brown was arrayed in evening.
clothes when he talked in his room 1t

packing his tramp clothes in a trunk
The result Of Browns Countrywide
investigation will be put in book form
in the hope that municipalities viii
awake to the crying needs Of shelter
homes for the friendless and penni-
less"
The man without a dime" as Mr.
Brown is sometimes called, says Chi
cago is in need of four municipal lodg-
ing houses like the institutions in New
York. One is needed, he says, in every.
city Of the United States. He adds that
he will devote his life to the work Of
lettering the condition Of the hobo
the man without a dime
The old SLOUGH hat, the coarse bro
gans, the bandanna kerchief and the
blue jean overalls that Brown wore in
his wanderings have been laid aside
He says they preach a thousand SER
mons. He added to-day:
Il secured the old clothes, which
later wore as a disguise in my travels
over the country. I went out in Denver
as man without the dime. I found
men sleeping in brick ovens, und n
platforms, in freight cars and round
houses, and many of them carried the
banner-that is, they walked the street
all night.
'The same condition exists in Chi
cago to-day New York has solved

The recent official year book of the
Catholic Church shows 14,61S,761 OF
that church in this country. Exclud-
ing Louisiana and Texas there are less
than one hundred thousand Catholics
in the entire South Over sixty per
cent. Of the strength of the church is
in five states, New York, Pennsylvania,
Illinois, Massachusetts and Ohio, which
have received the vast bulk of the
Catholic immigrants of recent years.
1t is estimated that if the church mad

try since 1910, and their descendants,
that it today would number forty mil

The STORY OF OLD
ABE'S SUBSTITUTE
Tombstone Tells the War
Story of Staples

Philadelphia, Pa, February II
Abraham Lincoln had a substitute
who served through the bloody and
epoch-making period of the civil war
as a defender of the union. This as
sertion has been made many times be-
fore. 1t has aroused bitter controver-
sy in various quarters; it has gever
birth to columns of print, both in sup
port of and denial of its truth. Now,
for the first time, evidence is here
presented that the story of Lincoln's
substitute is correct-evidence in the
unassailable shape of an official ac-
acknowledgements from the federal gov
eminent.
The exemption Of the president Of
the United States army or serving on
an actual field of battle is provided
for by special statue drawn up to
meet such contingency But there is
nothing to prevent the nations chief
executive from sending forth a substtI
tute to fight in his place, although Lin
coin was the only occupant of theI
white house who ever took advantage
of this fact The man who represent
ed the martyred president was John
Symmetrical Staples, whose body now
lies at rest in a little cemetery at
Stroudsburg, Pa. The tombstone
above his grave testifes not only to
Staples war record, but states in
granite letters the fact of his hay
lng served as Abraham Lincoln's sub
stitute.
The inscription in questions reads
as follows:
]. SUMMERFIELD STAPLES.

Co. c, 10th Regt., P. V,
Also a Member of the
I'd Regt. D. C. Vols, as a

Aged 43 Years, 4 Mos, % DAYS.
His grave also bears the G. A. r.
marker, a metallic star upon which the
words Post $50" appear. A small
American flag futters in the breeze.
but the outside world seems little ia
formed as to the career of this pa
triotic and distinguished soldier of the
union.
There are several people still living
in Stroudsburg who knew Staples and
that to him belonged the
unique distinction of representing Lin.
coin on the field of battle Among
heir number are J T. Palmer, post
master and principal of the public
school; c. L. Drake, editor of the
Times, and Representa-
i've a. Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsyl-
yania. 1t was characteristic of Lin
coin that he kept the matter from
the public press, and a like modesty
seems to have imposed silence on the
Young soldier who served his country
50 well.

AWAITING WITH ANXIETY.

American mining men of northern Mexico are awaiting the pacification of the republic with no little anx. iety, and many of them are in a most undecided frame of mind re- garding the future of their invest ments, according to T. k. Gordon. manager of the Fl Paso branch of the Mine & Shelter Supply com pany. who returned to Fl Paso last week from a three weeks trip to Chihuahua. Parral and Torreon.
 Mir Gordon is of the opinion that it will be several months. probably a year. before the confidence of American mining investors will be restored to the extent Of resurainS development in many of the camps. The going concerns, however, are making tho best of the present un- satisfactory conditions, and unless they should be interfered with by armed oEtbreaks or unfavorable leg islatiou, they will continue to oper- ate their mines and mills to their capacity. Improvements ito existing 2 mining and milling plants, as weli as prospecting. will be suspended for an indefinite time.
 MT. Gordon says that the princi- pal American companies of Parral are working their mines and reduc- tion works steadily. and he was ia- formed by several Of the managers of the Parral camp that they OK pected local conditions to improve. In Chihuahua, however, the Gus- genheim smelter has suspended op- erauons, together with a number of producing mines. Labor troubles are largely responsible for the shut down. at Torreon the Madero smel ter is running steadily nearly all or is furnaces and has big supplies of ore in it's bins, with a large tonnage of coke. The Torreon smeller op- crated continuously during the rev- olution. Several interior camps in Chihuahua are also sending out their usual products, but there is a notice able absence Of prospectors in all the mining centers.

MINING NOTES
PROSPECTING IN COLORADO

PROSPECTING IN COLORADO.
 Mining Science of Denver has jus, published booklet by Arthur Lakes. the geologist. bearing upon the fields for prospecting in Colo rado. the areas which may be avoid. ed and the geological conditions which the prospeotor should ob. serve.
 The booklet contains, in addition to incidental illustrations, a good sized geological map of the state, called The Prospectors' Map of Colorado" this being folded and ;n- serted. The map is based upon the original Hayden atlas and is brought up to date by the aid of other au- thorities, and Prof Lakes own h. innate knowledge Of the igneous areas of tho state.
 Probably no man in Colorado is more familiar with It's geology than Prof Lakes. since he has been a citizen of the state for a quarter O. a century. and during that time has devoted himself, almost without in- terruption, to field activity in behalf of his chosen science.
 The booklet is entitled Prospect ing in Colorado" It is a first-rate guide to the prospector who may be actuated by tho recent erubstake movement fin Denver to spend the present season in the most promis- ing undeveloped mineral sections of the Centennial State. The price of this booklet is sl0O.
