The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1911-03-30

The people are still in darkness as
to- why the United States so suddenly
threw n large army along the Mexi-
can border. 1t is now generally be-
lieved that possible war with that
country was not the main cause for
such action. BE that rs it may, all
must agree that even il there were
other reasons for the mobilization
troupes just at this time, the Next
can troubles furnished Uncle Sam q
splendid excuse to get n good sized
army together without letting his
real purpose for doing so become
known to the public. Well informed
and keen sighted men have suggested
that the threatening attitude of
Japan toward the United States Just
now is probably the real reason for
the army now modified in Texas.
1t is recalled that not so long ago,
when there was Il great deal of talk
of war between this country and
Japan, President Roosevelt very
promptly got together big fleet of
warships and sent them into Pacific
waters. Japan at once got as still
as mouse, and the feet sailed
peacefully on around the world and
back home. 1t is stated on good
authority that there is at this time a
great deal of bitter feeling in Japan
against the United States and that
there is much talk of war between
the two countries. In view OF these
things. it may be President Taft has
decided to use the army for the same
purpose that President Roosevelt
used the navy, and if so it is hoped
that the demonstration may have
the desired effect on the japanese.
The Raleigh News and Observer
came along Tuesday morning with
its mammoth biennial Legislative
Edition" which that enterprising
paper for many years past has been
in the habit of issuing soon after the
adjournment of the Legislature. 1t
is gotten up by thoroughly compe-
tent and experienced men and is in
deed very interesting and instruc-
tive publication, and one that every
progressive North Carolinian will
find to be very valuable.

In negro households, especially In
communities where negroes form q
large portion of the population, 1t ire
quently happens that the woman is
the head Of the family, being not only
the breadwinner, but also the disciple
marian, and In that capacity on occa-
sions she regards her putative lord and
master as subject to her will. This
at least was the assumption Of che col
ored woman who was party to q lit
tie scene enacted in the Office Of Jus
tice Of the peace.
A man bad been arrested on the
charge Of beating and cruelty misusr
ing his wife. After hearing the charge
against the prisoner the justice turned
to the first witness
Madam" he said, IF this man were
your husband and had given you
beating would you call In the police?"
The woman addressed. a veritable
amazon 10 size and aggressiveness,
turned a smiling countenance toward
the justice and answered:

FlexibiIity Of EnaIish.

English is not only. as Richard JEFF.
ferries asserted, the most expressive
and flexible of tongues. but also, In
Swinburne's opinion. the most must.
cal. He proclaimed the lines
Music that gentlier on tho spirit lies
Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes
to be unmatched for melody In any
language. And few would venture. ID
contradict such a master of music and
tongues. But surely French ranks
next on the roll Of languages. For
clearness of diction 1t Is unrivaled,
and, thanks to its abundance of VOW
els CLOSE on one for every consonant)
1t howes rhythmically from the tongue.
Against Westley's dictum, that French
is to German as a bagpipe to an or
gan. may be cited a saying Of another
famous divine. DR.. Dollinger. "L'Alle-
mand nest pas une langue. mails ceux
qui parlent ce jargon Sc compartment

guage, but those who speak this jar
gon understand one another).-LOndon

A Benevolent Censor.

A trio Of young ladies spent some
weeks last year at an out Of the way
village In the mountain region. They
found the village postmaster a quaint
old character, whose ways were as orr
ginal as they were startling, SO that
the daily trip to the postofice became
a real event
"Is there any mail for us. majorT'
asked one Of the young ladies as she
appeared at the window one morning.
"No; they amt thing for you all
this mawnin'. Miss Mary" was the re-
ply. "They wasn't nothin' come for
you but a letter that looked like adver-
tisin', an so opened 1t, and sure
enough It was Jest some advertisement
about somethin' or other, and I says
to myself, says l, Now, Miss Mary
don't want to tote such stun as that

Facts About Giants.

That very few of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
well formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt. All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall, but in
the second book of Kings we read
about another giant. who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being,
and, according to modern scientists,
this is invariably a token Of degen-
eracy. Marcel Donnal saw at Milan a
giant who was so tall that his body
filed two beds at night, but whose
legs were so weak that he could hard
ly stand upright. william Evans, the
gigantic porter of Charles L.. had little
strength, and CromwelPs porter, an
other giant, ended bis days In a luna
tic asylum. Finally, O'Brien. the Irish
giant, has been described as ian enor'
nous sick child who grew up toe

Robert Pinkerton once told a story
of bis father, the founder of the de-
tective agency, which illustrates the
elder Pinkerton's caution. A noted
criminal was detained In Pinkerton's
Chicago office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room and when he returned
took the precaution Of holding a re-
volver in front of him ready for use.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with a snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his hand.
This is good snuff," affably re-
marked the crook as he took a sniff.
For the eyes or the nose" asked
Pinkerton, who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.
WELL" remarked the criminal, I'm
sorry to say that the nose gets It this
time"

Appius claudius.

Appius Claudius, surnamed Caecus

who lived during the third century be
fore the Christian era. He was a Ro-

3O7 to 296. He commenced the APP

Antiquity Of Shorthand.


Shorthand Is apt to be looked upon
40 an essentially modern art. The
predecessors Of Pitman-Byrom In the
eighteenth century. Mason in the sew
enteenth-are dim and distant figures
beyond which 1t seems useless to ven
ture. Cicero dictated his orations to
his freedman, 7. Tullius Trio, and was
inconsolable when temporarily depriv-
ed of his services He complained in
q letter to a friend that, while "Tiro
takes down whole phrases In a few
signs, Spintharus (his provisional sub
Btitute) only writes in syllables." We
need not, however, suppose that the
"notae Tironianae" were actually In
vented by the freedman In question.
AS M. Guenin points out, the Romans
created very few Of the arts Of peace,
contenting themselves, as a rule, by
copying from the Greeks. M. Guenin,
however, indicates the banks of the
Nile as the cradle Of the art. Prs
