PATRICK HENRY.
Thomas Jeffsreon's Opinion Of the Ora
tor and Patriot.

When William Wiri was engaged In
writing the memoirs of Patrick Henry
he turned for information to Thomas
jefferson, who had been associated
with the orator for many years, ask
ing his aid in furnishing biographical
material for the work The correspond
ence between Writ and jefferson. pub
lished In the Pennsylvania Magazine
Of History and Biography, from the
manuscript collection of John Gribbel
has decidedly interesting passage
showing the opinion Jefferson held
about his famous colleague. Ia answer
to Wlrt's Grst request jefferson re-
plies With an assent and adds a gen.
eral and unfavorable summary of
IIenrys character:

the first impulse to the ball Of revolu.

ever lived. he had cousumate knot

recting the efforts of his eloquence
enabled him to attain degree of pop
ularlty with the people at large never
perhaps equalled. his Judgment in
other matters was inaccurate. In mat
ters of law 1t was not worth a copper:
he was avaricious & rotten hearted
bis two great passions were the love
OF money & Of fame; but when these
came into competition the former pre-
dominated. II the work you propose Is

Morris Missouri newspapers
havebeen poking fun at the Ozark
region Tor a long time by saying
that farmers here plant corn by
shooting the .rains in the hill
side with a shotgun. A man at
Schell City has gone farther. He
is blowing holes with dynamite in
order to plant fruit trees. Oh,
you North Missouri, now won't
you be good!
The enthusiasm at jefferson
City had scarcely subsidized when
the old town was given another
jolt by the assurance that it is to
have a new railroad. The road
is to be known as the Oklahoma
and Golden City Railway. 1t will
start at Jefferson City and end at
Fairview, Ok, a distance of 1888
miles. 1t is said work will be
commenced soon.
Recently, business man OF

From immemorial zine ile wise have
hdmonished the foolish TO lay up some
thing against the rainy day" Now
comes forward the new thought move
ment, or something of the sort, and ad.
monishes the foolish not even to think
about the rainy day. II you think
about 1t, says the new thought seer,
that will bring the rainy day, which
really doesn't exist, you know. This
calls to mind that excellent joke about
the fellow from the backwoods who
visited a menagerie and looked long
and critically at Il giraffe, Finally he
remarked: "HIuh The amt no slch
animal"
Despite the new thoughters, 1t is
just as wise now as 1t ever was to lay
up. against the rainy day. The United
States government, realizing this fact,
has established the postal savings
bank system. by means Of which mil
lions of persons who heretofore have
spent their incomes to the final far
thing will lay up rainy day money in
future. A piece of real estate makes
an excellent rainy dny investment. A
few dollars a month put into the buy
ing of lot or few acres Of land will
mean in time the ownership of
home, the cessation of rent paying and
the solid satisfaction of knowing that
you no longer are slave to landlords.
Latterly we have been hearing q
great deal Of talk similar to the sort
mentioned. There are persons who in
sist that disease does not exist and
that pain is merely a mental condition
Letpne Of these persons have boil on
the back of his neck and his mental
condition viii be altered to conform to
the boil. He will discover that a boil
is real entity and pain physical con-
dition The world is progressing rap
idly, but we still have a considerable
number Of old fashioned things which,
like the poor. are always with us. The
proverbial rainy day is one thing
which. IL not always with us, is about
as certain as death and taxes.

CUTTING HIS PANTS.

Now, nobody can make any combl-
nation Of the foregoing figures which
will spell anything like decent pair
Of pants. But the tailor cares nothing
whatever about the figures which he
calls out to Jimmie and indeed makes
no reference to them in his later Op-
erationS. He knows the pants won't
IL, anyhow, so what's the Use? If
you watch him you will discover that
he usually takes up some other mans
measurements when he undertakes
the laying out Of that particular gar
ment on which he puts your name
Having selected from the mass of
papers on his desk Il set of figures
which suits him, he goes behind his
counter, yawns, looks in the glass,
smooths down his hair, hunts for the
place where he left his cigar ana ut

a board rule, with curve in the cor
ner like a hockey stick. If you are
not watching him he win probably
cut your pants by ear and will not
bother to use this implement, but If
you insist upon inspection he'll make
n pretcnse of scientific use Of this In,
strument whose real nature or pur.
pose no human being knows or ever
will know.
What the tailor Is thinking Of as he
begins TO make chalk marks in "A piece
OF blne paper, using this rule as n
straight edge, is the "Joy ride" he Is
going to have with Marie In his new
auto that evening. II makes no diff
ference to him whether the chalk slps

along this or that angle he allows the
straight or curved line TO run. He
knows they are not going to it. any
how, 50 why should he bother about Il
oyermuch? The only hope You can
possibly have meantime is the one
raised in your bosom when the tailor.
from behind the counter, looks UP and
says: Jimmie, why In the world

The tailor goes On making seyera!

lines ana tries over again. Then ha
