Is Mr.. Angle of Polk right angle
an acute angle or an obtuse angle
Certainly not the last, as he has cho-
sen very strong platform for his
gubernatorial candidacy. Common
sense and sentiment combined in jul,
dicious proportions make mixture
that is very effective political medi
cine. He has the first in his good
roads plank, and the latter in plenty
in his anti-lease plank-so it looks as
if he might turn out to be an acute
angle, and strike the right angle to
land in the governors chair.-Tampa

TOM WATSON AND THE BIRDS

A pair of wrens had nestled in a
corner of the awning on the back
porch of Tom Watson's house at
Thomson, Georgia. 1t was canvas
awning, which shaded the windows of
the summer dining room, and ran the
length of the porch. When the -iny
nest was discovered the awning was
down, and down it stayed, through
sunny days and dark days, until the
little birds were feathered and had
flown out into the world. Then the
awning was drawn up.
The summer was not quite over,
and the wrens soon had another nest
built in the awning, and filled with
eggs. This time the awning stayed
up, through cloudy days and sunny
days, until Tom Watson's tiny friends
were strong enough to fly away into
the trees and shrubbery around the
house.
That was year ago.
Last spring Mr.. Watson decided to
add two side porches to his house.
When the carpenters came to put up
the timbers for the porch on the east
ern side they found that a pair of
wrens had nestled in an angle of a
window. Tom Watson was told about
it, and the work of building that porch
stopped right there. Contractors,
carpenters, brick-layers and concrete
men-all waited for the little wrens
to make their start in life. AS soon
as they flew away. the work went on.
The birds and the squirrels are
Toms friends, and he protects them
as he would members of his family.
All things that live gently and useful
ly are friends of his. You must sit in
his library and hear the woodpeckers
drumming under the caves, cutting
their way to the open spaces under
the roof, where they build and make
their homes year after year. Not
long ago red-bird-the Kentucky
cardinal-used to come daily to the
window to be fed, but some thought
less boy shot him, to Mr.. Watson's in
tense anger and grief. Out in the
wide lawns and groves around the
house you can see the squirrels play
ing. Everywhere you will find trees
and shrubs that bear nuts and berries,
down to the ragged poke-berry-for
the squirrels and birds.-James La
nier of Thomson, Ca, in Our Dumb
Animals.

The case against the city aldermen
engaged the attention OF the circuit
court Friday. 1t seems that some
member of the council bought dump
cart from another member of that
body, which is contrary to the provis-
ions of certain statute made for the
general purpose of preventing graft
among municipal and legislative bod
les in this state.
The constitutionality of the act was
attacked by the attorneys for the city
aldermen, but the supreme court, hav-
ing affirmed it's constitutionality, the
case had to be tried upon it's merits.
One of the members of the council
being related to the court, the court
entered an order that he was disqual-
flied to try the case. The state attor-
ney then filed new information elm
mating the alderman that was related
to the court, and insisted upon "a
trial
The case finally simmered down to
trial of Alderman Stokes, president
of the council, and Alderman McIver,
from whom the dump cart was pur-
chased, and the attorneys, in their be-
half, entered a plea of nolo conten-
dere-that is, they neither affirmed
nor denied the allegation.
The court entered a fine against
and the costs of court.
So ends this famous case.
