arch Figured-The First Fin.
Qerless Gloves.

Drinking tricks figured in diplomacy
in the time of Henry VIII. Mrs. Henry
Gust quotes the kings challenge to
Hubertus, the representative of the
Palsgrave Frederick. He sent for two
huge goblets, filed with wine and beer
respectively, and gave the envoy his
choice for a drinking out" test. In
vain Hubertus pleaded that his master
had actually instituted a company of
the Golden Ring to put down such con-
tests, any member who broke the pro-
hibition to lose his ring and give 81
to the poor. Henry, anxious to prove
that the Englishman was the better
man, promised to find the forfeits him.
self and drank his beer at a draft,
while it took the German four gulps
to account for the wine.
How early did mankind think of the
convenience Of the fingerless glove?
Little was said Of gloves in ancient
times, but in most S it is obvious
that they had fingers. Those worn by
the secretary of the younger Pliny.
used when he visited Vesuvius. so
that he might keep on jotting down
notes in spite of the cold, must have
been fingered, no less than those of
the glutton in Anthenaeus, who wore
gloves at table so that he might ham
die the meat while hot and get in ad-
vance of his bare handed fellow din
ers.

TRAPPING MEN INTO CRIME.

The department of justice properly
frowns upon the third degree" meth
cd of extorting damaging admissions
from persons charged with crime. But
is the lawless third degree" less rep
rehensible than the departments own
practice of stalking it's special agents
with government funds for the pur-
csc of laying traps for men to in
duce them to commit crime?" as
counsel for the defense in a recenr
case stated with great force.
The handbook fraternity is the sue
cessor-oniy more numerous and un
desirable than the bookmaking fra
'"~"it" which the department of jus
ticc put out of business here. Doin'

ed for no questionable mode of pro-
redure, no official conspiracy to So
licit and procure evidence of betting

ting the profits, while the treasury
pocketed the losses.
The law may be made to sanction
such thing as the official crime pro
moter lying in wait for the unwary
handbook maker, but the average jur,
apparently feels no conjunction ir
giving the law officers a slap in the
ace, as having applied a remed,
worse than the disease.
Where one bookmaker fiourishe1

handbook men are now to be found.
The hookmaker, black as he was
painted was amenable to regulation,
but not so the handbook man. The
.oin( efforts of the police force and
government s'euths have failed to
stamp ont lLe evil. The adoption OF
an imitation of the third degree as

1t is matter of Importance, as

in this section of the state, that ev
cry member of a club be supplied
with the reading matter that is being
sent out from Athens and Washing
ton by the state and federal author
tiles to all who are interested in corn
culture.
With this idea in view it is imper-
alive that every member of the Sum-
ter county corn club and every clue
in the district have his name sent to
Mr. Cunningham, so that this helpful
matter may be sent to him as it is is
sued. For this purpose The Times

A PICTURE WITH A PURPOSE.

The most heart-bIeaking picture

standing wondering nearby. Upon the
couch lies a little boy with heavy

In this connection, it is well to say
that the National Fire Protection AS

of suggesting the adoption by all cit

would be the means of saving a vast

POEM PENNED IN 1913 PRO.
PHETIC OF TITANIC WRECK

Washington, June 4.-For twenty
years Senator William Alden Smith
chairman of the committee that inves-
tigated the loss of the Titanic, has
made a collection of clippings on sub
jects of the widest variety.
For nineteen years he has kent T
poem, one stanza of which he now
looks upon as prophetic, and he
thinks the coincidence doubly strange
since he was the man named to lay
bare the secret of the disaster. The
poem was written by A. T. CUTLER
Couch in 1893. Its last stanza runs
" ell she the stricken hull,
The doomed, the beautiful,
Proudly to Fate abased
Her brow titanic.
Praise now her multitude,
Who, nursed in foTtitude,
Fell in on deck and faced
Death without panic.
Happy is the man who doesn't want
what he can't get.

BEEF EXTRACT OF LITTLE

is not much to recommend Il.
Beef extract is no longer re-
garded as a good food for in
Valids, and It's use has been
generally discontinued In hos

mails contain poisonous waste,
the waste that induces sleep.

after Its death are not only Of
little food value, but more or
less poisonous. 1t Is we'll
enough to please the palate,
but when the appetite demands
an Injurious food or drink the
reason should be called In to
override 1t,
