How Show Ne" Originated,

What is the origin of the saying;

its earliest mention is found at the
time of the great march across the

many of the Argonaunts procuring

matter of comment that the Nilsson

in California and returned to their
starting point to get another chance
to earn transfers wages. Later
the same spirit of doubt was eX-
pressed in the phrase, I'm from
Missouri, show me- and, being brief
it caught the popular favor and re,
mains in frequent use, Like most
of such sayings, it is impossible Il

One of the most unusual indict-
ments ever returned by a grand
jury in San Antonio, Texas, came
to light few days ago, when Viii
lie and Preston Lewis, aged res.
pectively 6 and s years, were called
in the 9th district court, charged
with burglary. When Judge Dyer
saw the children he said: Are
these the accused? Well, in all my
experience this is the limit. These
little tots are too young to be lect-
ured by the court, much less tried
for the offense. They must be sent
home and an officer accompany
them" 1t was alleged that the
children had been used by Oldel
boys to climb over transOms anC

The Curse of Facile Success.

The thing that makes Maderd
present task so difficult is the, fad
that hitherto 1t has been so easy
He is face to face with the menac-
ing problems of the man who in a
moment of tremendous change in
the affairs Of men wins a facile
success.
When one compares with Made
ro's experiences of the last few
months the ordeal by fire and blood
through which the great revolution
airy leaders of the past have come,
the instability of his present posi-
ton becomes apparent When
United Italy was finally realized,
Garibaldi and Cavour had been
tried by a score of years of adverse
fortune. Their prophecies had had
to stand the test of time; their hold
on men had been proven through
days of good and i'll repute. The
example of George Washington
looms before the historic imagina4
ton in this connection From sev-I
enty-siX to 'eighty.three he led al
little company of soldiers of democ1
racy. He fought against a wealthy
nation, whose soldiers. well provis-
Toned and accOutered were COM
manded by Generals famous
throughout the world. There was
no question when finally the nation
new born after such travail, faced
the future as to who should be first
!; in peace; it was the man who had
been so long first in war.
, General Madero is man of many
engaging qualities. He has shown
temperatures and good sense in
his course since the Diaz regime
yielded to the revolutionary spirit.
His manifestness have sounded the
: right note; his counsel to those who
have sought it has been worthy of
his position and of the hour.
| But Madero is nevertheless an
: untried man. The revolution be-
n gan on November 20. This is May
S 80 six months and ten days later,
S The revolutionistS have had but
one engagement worthy the name
Of battle-the siege of JuareZ
q While spirited, the resistance to
= their arms even there was not
. formidable. There has been moth
ing approaching the dignity of {
military campaign. MaderO has had
no difficult marches to lead, nj
= complex END problems" to WORK
d out upon the checker-bOard o.
a war;
a The inSurrectO movement, there
e fore, lacks just that coheSivenesE
2 and unity which could belong to il
only through the Welding heat o
- tremendous opposition. No mat
, ter how good may be the individu

Why Stamps Are Perforated.

From one point of view it is the
little things that have made the
greatest inventions, says Answers.
There are people living who can re-
member when stamps were careful
ly cut out with scissors. 1t was not
until a hunting man was in hurry
one day that the perforation idea
was hit upon. No knife or scissors
being handy, he used his spurs TO
cut out the stamp by running the
rowel along. Then he tore off the
stamp-and saved future genera
tons a considerable amount of
troublel-Ex.

TWO NEW BILLS BY LANDEE
Moline Senator TO Introduce Measures
at Springfield Next Week

State Senator F. A. Landee, on his
return TO his home in Moline from
Springfield today, announced that next
week he would introduce TWO bills in
the legislature-one providing for a
six-term year for county courts and
another penalizing dishonesty in the
manufacture OF shoes. The measure
covering the latter item s intended TO
prevent the use of paper and other i'm
itations as substitutes for leather
soles in shoes. The increasing of the
number of county court year terms
from three to six is at the behest of
attorneys
