IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT:
There is in Georgia a very success
full lawyer named Ewing who has
made a reputation throughout the
south as to wit and an after-dinner
speaker. He set the members of the
Atlanta bar association roaring with
laughter by a recent speech from
which this is an extract.
] am the friend of labor, and / have
no hostility or bitterness toward capt.
tai, and l always think of the existing
disturbances as being not wholly free
from humor. ! firmly believe that if
lawmakers will quit trying to regulate
things. stop trying to legislate money
from the man who made it to the man
who didn't and let the people under
stand that they must work for a living,
everybody but the lawyers and candi.
dates will be happier and saner and
less hungry.
And that sentiment, which the
Georgia lawyer no doubt, uttered in
all sincerity. was echoed few days
later by another lawyer. Ex-Governor
Black, in a speech to the New York
bankers:
The vast majority of individual for

The Bird Table.


In the old countries Of Europe the
bird table may still be seen In the
ruIa districts. A bird table Is made
by driving q short stake into the
ground and firmly mailing a shallow
wooden box on top Of It The box
generally measures two by three feet
and has q number Of holes In the
bottom to drain 1t Of rain or snow
water. It Is always high enough to
be beyond reach Of any cat that might
try to leap to 1t from the ground Care
also Is taken to select spot far enough
from fences. trees or buildings to pre-
vent cats from pouncing down on 1t
when the birds are feeding. Into the
bird table 60 scraps from the house
table and kitchen, pieces Of stale
bread and cake. strips Of fat meat.
potato parings. carrot ends. bits Of
any kind Of table greens. apple skins
and cores and cabbage leaves. All
kinds Of nonmigratory birds come
to feed at the bird table, and many

CURING BAD HABITS.
Try . Little Self Hypnetism on Your
Pct Weaknesses.

Try . Little Self Hypnotism on Your
Pct Weaknesses.
In a large eastern city Is a profess
siOnal hypnOtist who has wide repu-
tatiOn for curing the habit of intern
perance. His method Is dirt simple.
There Is no real hypnOtism about 1t
unless 1t Is u matter Of self hypnO-
tism," this professor once said. II
simply observe the mind process Of the
man that drinks and advise him how
to reverse 1t. The subconsciOus sOlil-
oQuy in the mind Of the man that
drinks runs something like this:
When did I have my last bal: :
Whew! Long as that! I don't see how
! stood 1t so long. Wouldn't have
thought it possible And 50 on the
victim repeats to himself on the prin-
ciple that he needs this periodical
stimulant just as 1t Is necessary to
heap coal ON to fire to keep 1t from
burning out. In word, that man self
hypnotizes himself into the belief that
he needs drink.
MY advice to cure this craving Is
not to fight the appetite. but to fight
down the cause that leads to the ap-
petite Let q man repeat to himself
over and over again: 4 really don't
need this drink. II take 1t. it's sim
ply q matter Of pouring SO much down
my throat super6uously, for l could
get along without Before long he
will be surprised how instead Of hyp-
nothing himself into drink he will
hypnotic himself out Of It,"
Simple. isn't It? But II this self
hypnOtism or whatever you choose to
call 1t Is a cure for intemperance why
IS it not equally q recipe for curing
other bad habits- Chicago Tribune.

eracy, which took place in that city on
February /. 1861. That is q decided.
~ important date mark in American
history and some notice ought to be
taken Of its semi.centennial when it
arrives.
Soon after Virginia's separation
from the Union, the Confederate CAPT.
tai was moved to Richmond and it re.
mained there until the collapse after
the surrender Of Lee in April, 1865.
And the improvement in conditions
which has come since 1865 has been
far greater in the South than it has
been in the rest of the country. Of
the 8 million dollars product Of the
farms Of the United States in 1910, .
large proportion has been scored BY
the Southern States. Of the seven
staple crops-corn, wheat, tobacco,
hay, oats. Irish potatoee and tycoon.
mon to all the country, the South's
ratio Of gain in the past ten years has
been 1O4 per cent. while that of the
rest of the country has been only IS
per cent. In cotton, the: production
OF which is a southern monopoly, the
gain has been still greater in the de.
cade. And. moreover, coal, iron and
other minerals, practically unknown
in the South half q century ago and
but little known q quarter ola century
ago, are now among that regions larg-
est assets. In cotton and steel manu-.

Transportation of 60 carts by freight
within the state of Illinois is to be
several centsa hundred pounds cheap
er as the result of a decision of the
Illinois railroad and warehouse COM
mission to encourage an infant indus
try" The commissioners placed
themselves on record as opposed to
race suicide at the classification meet
ing called to consider petitions of
shippers and railroads for changes in
rates. Go carts have been transported
under the rating for baby carriages,
at 80 per cent above the first class
rate. 1t was pointed out that large
industry has been developed in manu-
featuring a new style Of collapsible
90 carts, which were entitled to a
specific rating and this was fixed at
second class for less than carload lots,
and fourth class in carloads. AS the
first class rate for the longest haul in
the state, Chicago to Cairo, is 46 cents
100 pounds, it is not expected that
the price Of 60 carts will he reduced,
but the saving in rates will be an
appreciable amount to the manufac-
turer who ships in large quantities.

A little history now and then ought
to be relished by everybody who de.
sires to know more about his own state.
In 1860 the territory of Nebraska
sent six delegates to the republican
national convention. Four were from
Omaha, one from Plattsmouth and one
from Nebraska City. Three of these
votes were cast for Seward, two for
Chase and one for Lincoln. The lat.
ter was cast by p. W. Hitchcock,
father of the newly elected senator,
and he received his reward the follow
ing yesr when he was named by pres
ident Lincoln as marshal of the terri
tory. E. ID. Webster, for a good many
years one of the leaders of the Ne
braska republicans, was sent to this
territory in 1853 for the express pur-
pose of bringing in delegation from
here for Seward for president. Thur
low Weed. the biggest politician New
York ever produced, was then in
charge of Stewards campaign, and
thrifty began planting friends of the
New Yorker in the territories to SOW
crops that might be reaped in conven-
ton years. Webster bought the
Omaha Republican. and easily sue
ceeded in getting himself sent as a
delegate, with two friends who were
for Seward. -LincOln News.
