IT is hard 70 believe I'll OF ourselves.
but somehow our friends seem TO
accomplish it with a small amount OF
trouble.
The trouble with some people Is they
have the smile that won't so on.
If women didn't like TO gossip there
would he no one to keep the men in
countenauce.
People who love themselves very de-
votedly have no cause TO complain OF
wasted affection.
Some men think that the chief bust
ness of Providence is working out
their plans. and they howl when Prov
idence jumps the job.
The weather man makes n perfectly
good prediction. but it isn't his fault
if the weather doesn't know a good
thing when it sees it.
A woman sees no use IN having
grievance if she doesn't air It.
To get the proper amount OF at
tention from the public n South Amer
lean revolution should be pulled Off
between the baseball and football sea-
sons.
Some people are so pleased with
their i'll health that they would con-
slider it calamity If they were cured
of their ills.

many as five if possible, but send at
least one. At the meeting in Live Oak,
last year, consolidation was affected

The law which prohibits railroad com
panics from exchanging free transporta
ton for advertising is just now coming
in for pretty general discussion by the
state papers. The Palatka News has haC
its say, and didn't say much. 1t simply
stated that in making the law ii preSum
ed the Legislature looked upon the iSSu.
ing OF passes TO newspapers as a mild
form of bribery. In some cases they are
SO intended, in proof of which allegation
the following from the Mariana Times.
Courier is cited:
1--WE do not know after all if the anti
pass law is so stringent or unjust as the
Metropolis would have one believe.
Over here on the l.. & n they will not
issue pass to a newspaper unless it will
agree 10 keep off the ShackS they put
up and call depotS We have evidence
of this fact on file in this office"
Of course no one ever heard of a
newspaper editor being 'graiter," or
as influenced by sordid motive-the idea
is preposterouS. But all the same, under
the present arrangement by which he
pays for his transportation in cash like
other gentlemen, and the railroads paw
for their advertising like other business
men and corporations, the relation is
not open 10 suspicion.

The factory system began with the
introduction of machinery. 1t is thor
oughly modern. there being nothing at
all like it in antiquity or even in the
middle ages. 1t began with the inven-
ton of the loom by Arkwright, about
1775, and was at first wholly confined
to the cotton manufacture. As me-
