A Biblical Mathematician,

An interesting problem in mathe-
MATES assumes the form of tradition
connecting itself with the name Of Jo-
sephus, the Jewish historian. After
the Romans had captured Potopat, so
the story runs, Josephus and forty 9TH
ers sought shelter in a cave So afraid
We're they Of falling into the hands Of
the Romans that all Of them excepting
Josephus and one other man resolved
to kill themselves. The wit of the his
tor1an began to work, devising q
scheme to save himself and this other
man who was like minded with him
self. He therefore proposed that they
all stand in a semicircle, that they put
each other to death, killing every third
man in regular order and that the last
surviving man should then commit sui
eide. This agreed upon, he was care
full to place his like minded comrade
In the sixteenth place in the line and
himself in place thirty-one, with the
result that the two We're the last that
We're left and by this means escaped
death. 1t Is true problem, and the
question was to know before the kill
Ing began which numbers in line the
two friends should assume.-Louisville

Sir Robert Ball told the story Of a

the information that there was q toll

Canada. John hadn't 10 cents in his
pocket So he started back again.
Arriving once more at the American
side, he was stopped No Chinaman
in any circumstances, they told him,

still on the bridge? If not, by what

Can't Please Everybody.

1t is difficult matter to run a
newspaper to suit all the people, for
the reason that every reader has his
idea of news. One man does not
want the local news; another wants
more society news and less politics.
Then again there is the fellow who
gets rubbed the wrong way because
an editorial in the paper favored
good roads or said a few pzfables
about the tax dodger. Another Gays
the policy OF the paper in favor OF
good roads will ruin everything and
send everybody to the dimnition
bOwwoWs.
The modern newspaper, whether it
be daily or weekly, publishes a va
riety of news, and the editor who
trims his editorial policy to suit the
whims and caprices OF a critical
dyspeptic element, will in the long
run find himself il a bad way.-E1-

The Greenville Reflector complains
bitterly that so many men in that
town have contracted what 1t con-
siders the unmanly habit OF congre.
eating at certain point, especially
on Sundays, to look at the pretty
girls Of the Eastern Training School,
which happens to be located at Green
vile, and earnestly urges that the
practice be stopped. Just send those
fellows up to Henderson where there
are so many pretty girls that they
can see them everywhere and all the
time and where the poor fellows will
not be under the necessity of having
to congregate at some particular
place in the city in order to get an
occasional peep at feminine beauty.

HoOkwOrm Campaign,

DR.. John A. Terrell, in charge of
the campaign against hookworm in
this State, says that the operation
of the hospital tent for treating
hookworm patients is to start with
in a very short time now in one of
the southeastern counties. There
will also be in the same section of the
State a number of hookworm dis
pensaries provided in counties that
will cooperate by bearing a small
part of the expense. Among the
first work of this sort is expected to
begin in Fender county, the commits
sioners having already pledged fl
nancial aid. Examinations and free
treatment are to be provided and es-
pecially strenuous campaigns for
stamping out hookworm disease car
ried on.

A vigorous application OF the va
grancy law that would have the ef-
feet of putting a number OF indus.
triously idle "eullud gemmen'' to
work and keeping them at it for a
while, would prove a benediction to
this community. One of the curses
OF a town the size of Henderson is
the idle negroes who almost invari-
ably congregate around it and about
its streets, If they are allowed to do
so. And one OF the greatest benefits
OF recorders court in many such
communities has been derived from
the fact that it has managed in one
way and another to find useful en-
ployment for this class of negroes.
Just such bureau of industry"
will help wonderfully in Henderson

Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of
Kidney lliness-Profit by Henderson
PEOPLES Experience

Occasional attacks of backache, irregu-
lar urination, headaches and dizzy spells,
are common early symptoms of kidney
disorders It's an error to neglect these
ills. The attacks may pass off for a
time but return with greater intensity.
If there are symptoms of dropsy-puffy
swellings below the eyes, bloating OF
limbs and ankles, or any part of the
body, don't delay a minute. Begin TAX
ing Doan's Kidney Pills and keep up the
treatment until the kidneys are well,
when your old time health and vigor
will return. Cures in Henderson prove
the effectiveness of this great kidney
remedy.
Mrs. M. S. Duke, 225 Arch street, Hen
derson, N. c., says: Il used Doan's Kid
ney Pills about year ago and was very
much benefited. At that time was sui
fering from a weak and lame back and
other symptoms of kidney complaint.

Says bright contemporary: 1T
is to the credit OF the American peo-
pie that in theory the woman who
earns her own living is the equal OF
the woman who lives at ease and
dresses in silks and satins." This
Gin theory" may be true, but in fact
it is not necessarily so. There need
be no prejudice against silks and
satins, and every good woman who
is able to own them should have
them. And the fact that some wom-
en- are able to spend at least part
OF their lives at ease ought not to
excite the jealousy of anyone. Still
as between the two classes of women
our contemporary mentions, the
chances are that in the sight of God
and most men the average working
woman is the better of the two. The
woman who wastes her life with the
frivolities of fashionable society is liv-
ing about as far away from what God
intended her to be as she we'll could,
and lacks much OF being the equal of
the woman who seeks to make her
life useful and noble.
