bibliophile said:
"Book is d word that comes from
the German buche, or beech. But
what connection has book got with
a beech? I'll show you"
The bibliophile led the way to a
superb Caxton that had just been
sold for $4,000.
"This volume, YOU see," he said,
"is bound in boards paste
boards-real boards, beech boards.
That is how all books were bound
when printing began. Yes, when
printing began in Germany, each in
cunabulum, or early book, was bound
in buche-in beech boards half an
inch thick, covered, perhaps, with
leather, tipped and clasped with
brass, and studded with precious or
semiprecious stones"

THREE GREAT MEN OF EUROPE.

Lord Byron said that Europe saw
three great men in the early part of
the nineteenth century. but no one
now, in the early part of the twen-
tieth century, could guess at the
names of more than one of the three.
1t may be that Lord Byron was
joking, but it is quite possible that
he was serious when he named the
curious trio.
Third in his little list he placed
himself, the second person was Ma
poleon Bonaparte, and the first and
foremost was George Bryan Brum-
nell, Beau Brummell, "King of the
Beaux' and "Ie Roi de Calais. -

A CITY Girls Dream.

A city girl writes: ut is fond
dream of mine to become farm
er's wife and meander with him
down the pathway of life."
To which the Dahlonega, Ca,
Nugget replies:
"Ah, yes, that is nice thing!
But when your husband meanders
off leaves you without wood and
you have to meander up and down
the land pulling splinters off the
fence to cook dinner, and when you
meander along in the wet grass in
search Of the cows till your shoes
are the color Of rawhide and your
stockings are soaked, and when you
meander out across 20 acres of
plowed ground with club to drive
the hogs out Of the corn field and
tear your dress on the barbed wire
fence, when you meander back home
and find that the billy goat has but
ted the stuffin' out of your child,
and find the old hen, with 40 chick
ems in the parlor, you'll put your
ha-dr on ycur h;ns and ~ealize that
meandering is not what il Is crack
ed up to be. :"

gathering points for pure-bred stock
in the South, mention is made tha,
the Percheron Society of America
is this year offering its special prizes
at the Raleigh Fair, which is one of
only four Southern Fairs to be Sc
honored, 1t is stated that by reso-
luton of the Executive Committee
questionable shows and doubtful
games have been forbidden the
grounds.
On the amusement side there is
borne the news that the Fair has
contracted with the Glenn H. Curtiss
Company for aeroplane flights each
day Of the Fair on a guarantee-to-
fly basis, the aviator to be Linloln
Beachey or Hugh Robinson. Beachey
is the birdman who flew under the
bridge at Niagara, while Robinson
did likewise at Cairo, ILL.,. under
railroad bridge over the Ohio. These
two were the only flyers to finish in
the cross-country race from New
York to Philadelphia, and both were
stars at the Chicago Aviation Meet,
where Beachey made a new record
for altitude-1I,578 feet.
Another attraction mentioned is
California Franks Wild West show
with its fifteen carloads and 200
people. Then there is The Great
Calvert, star high-wire specialist.
Special mention is made Of the
miraculous painting, In the Shadow
of the Cross" to be exhibited for
the first time in the South. 1t has
figured at the great world exposi-
tion and been a topic Of discussion
among clergymen and scientists.
But aside from all this the little
book is valuable for the information
it contains, and is we'll worth pre-
serving. Write for a copy to the

Nearly every reader of The Com

to know anything about HYOMEI
except that you breathe it and that
it does not contain cocaine or opium
or any harmful drug.
You can find out all about HYO-

whatever. Just get an outfit today,
read the simple instructions, give it
fair trial and then if you are not
willing to say that it is the best
remedy for catarrh you have ever
used E. 7. Whitehead Company will
gladly return your money.

PHILOSOPHER COMMENTS.
he Thinks that the Only Man Who can
mol Afford to Advertise Is the One
Who has Nothing.

Half of the population of Americ,
are engaged in farming. Farmin,
is priminal need, because we ge
our food out of the soil.
Next to food love is the seconc
requisite, and no man is loving
lovely or lovable who is on half ra
tiOnS.
Richard Golden put this cocisly
when he said, ''The ratio of mar
riages keeps pace with the price OF
corn" Only we'll fed people are
capable of love, and corn-fed pro-
duct is always prosperous.
Next to farming in Importance
comes transportation, because a
thing has to be at a certain place at
a certain time in order to possess
value. The railroads bridge time
and annihilate space.
The third most important thing in
the world is manufacturing, which
is taking raw products and combin-
ing them into forms of use and
beauty.
The fourth most important thing
is distribution. Our great cities are
centers where vast warehouses are
located, and these warehouses gath
er together the products Of the farm,
the factory, the mine and the sea
and distribute them to the millions
who need them.
The fifth most important thing in
the world is banking. The banker
is one who takes the savings of the
people and loans out again certain
per cent, of these savings to the
people who can use money to make
more money. Statistics show that
with a fair capital to start on the
banker can safely loan IS per cent
IF his deposits and at all times stand
ready to meet the checks of custom
ars.
Banking is a great move in econ
)mics, as it keeps money active in
stead of allowing it tn y. z.a,.as
