DROWNED IN THE soPcHoPPY

A Carrabelle dispatch says: The
recent high water caused the Sop
choppy river to get out of the banks
and Mr.. A. P. Roberts was drowned in
the river. He was a good swimmer,
but exhausted himself trying to stem
the swift current, and went down
near a crowd of his friends, who tried
to render assistance. Mr.. Roberts
was a prominent citizen. Four years
ago he was in the second primary

THE NEED OF POLITICAL SANITY

But the country can stand all that.
1t has lived, thriven and grown for
136 years, counting the Declaration OF
Independence as the beginning Of
things national, and during all that
time there have been legislative po-
litical manipulations. political agita-
tions and political agitators.
Generation after generation has
come into being in land of constant
ly widening opportunities, and the ex-
ploitations of political showmen, keen
to guess what sensation the public
will want next and to pander to IT.,
keen to exploit a political emotion
and to pander to it, have apparently
had no retarding influence.
The country can stand these things.
They are the surface operations OF
the men of the hour dealing with sur
face manifestations for their own
ephemeral uses.
But below these are the profounder
problems OF the social relations OF
the people, by whom and for whom
this government was organized out OF
dream of human equality, which
ought to be realized more and more
as the years go by.
But our population is becoming con-
gested in great cities. Lines OF
caste are becoming more and more
defined. The corporate machine en-
ployer and the corporate machine en-
ploye have taken the place of the old
personal relation between man and
man We are building industrial tow
ers of Babel, and We go our ways sep
arately, although we jostle one anoth-
er on the sidewalk. In short, the in
cubator is becoming more and more
the mother of the chicken. daughter
ter and applause.)
There never was a time of greater
need of levelheaded stability than
now.
Inc naClOQ was never ulOlS ia
need of the kind of patriotism and
political sanity that rises above mere
self-seeking than now.
And yet there never was time
when men were apparently more will
ing to fan any smoldering discomfort
into a blaze for personal political gain
than now.
There never was a time when men
were more willing to sow grudges
and discomfort than now.
There never was a time when men
were more ready to strain or amend
the constitution than now.
On the other hand, there never was
a time when a larger element Of our
population were susceptible to in
f1ammatory influences than now.
There never was a time when j
| larger element of our population
could be played upon by opera-bouffe
whirling-dervish methods than now.
And there never was time wher
party fealty sat more lightly upor
American citizenship than now.-Con

Yellow Jackets Held Steeple.

A contractor and three carpenters were painfully stung when they climbed to the top of the First Bap- tist church, in New Castle, Del, re- gently, to make repairs to the roofs. Thousands of yellow jackets had made their home in the belfry, and they re- sented the intrusion and drove the men to the ground. One of the men made his way to the belfry and with tar paper closed all exits by which the insects could escape. Then he placed four sulphur candles under the cupola and lighted them. After the candles had burned out enough dead insects were found to fill peach basket to overfiowing, and the carpenters then resumed work on the church roof.

Snake Had Lived on Eggs.

On his morning round for eggs re- gently, Michael Heiseman of Custice, O., reached into a hens nest and touched an object that made him jump back quickly. A closer examin- ation showed big spotted snake coiled in the nest. Beating a hasty re- treat, Heiseman secured a shotgun and on reaching the nest noticed that the snake had swallowed a china nest egg and was gradually working it down its throat It was but the work of a moment to blow off the head of the reptile. Heiseman then recalled the fact that his egg supply had de- clined recently, and he thinks that the snake, with perhaps its mate, had been making forays on the roost for some time.
