Varlous pearees Of Envy.

Envy is a compound of grief and an
ger. The degrees Of this passion de-
pend chiefly on the nearness or re-
moteness of the objects. as to circum-
stances. If one who is forced to walk
on foot envies a great man for keep
ing a coach and six, 1t will never be
with that violence, or give him that
disturbance which 1t may to man
who keeps a coach himself, but can
only afford to drive with four horses.
The symptoms Of envy are various
and as hard to describe as those OF
the plague. Among the fair the dis.
ease is very common. and the signs OF
It are very conspicuous in their opin.
ions and censure OF one another.-Ber

CALOMEL MUST
HURT YOUR LIVER
Every Time You Take This Powerful
Drug You Are In Danger. Take
Dodson's Liver Tone instead.

Calomel is made from mercury, and
while mercury has many uses, 1t is a
dangerous thing to swalloy. If calo-
mel stays in the system very long 1t
salivates. Even when 1t works nat
urally, its after-effects are often bad.
The Century Drug store has liver
medicine called Dodson's Liver Tone
which is positively guaranteed to take
the place of calomel. 1t stimulates
the liver just enough to start 1t work
ing, and does not make you sicker
than ever-as calomel often does.
Dodson's Liver Tone won't force you
to stop eating or working after taking
IT. It is as beneficial for children as
for adults.

Mr.. Patterson on entering his office

parts of an aerolite, which weighed
fully fifty pounds when it struck
the builing as it dropped from the
skies above. Several theories were
advaced as to where the two jagged
stones picked up in Mr.. Patterson's
office came from. but that they are
meteoric in origin is strongly believed.
To those interested in astronomy, it
was known that beginning last Satur-
day night and ending Wednesday
morning, the earth passed through
what is known as the "Terseus Show
ers," or section of the deep blue,
strewn with star dust or meteoric mat
ter of various sizes and forms. This
fact lends credence to the theory ad-
vanced, that Nashville in this case at
least, is the host of heavenly visitor

Marshall Hall.
Stop promiscuous hugging, kissing
and flirting on the approaches to the
Capitol" is an order issued to Capitol
policemen.

braclng or squeezing hands. Break

by the officers on the vessels and at

.spoonlng couples. n the mandate is
not obeyed brilliant searchlight is
turned on the guilty persons.
For many years dark spots about
the approaches to the Capitol have
been used by spooners, 1t was not
unusual to see as many as twenty-five
couples in the coy hooks that flank
the Senate and House wings.

Elevator Etiquette.

There is no hard and fast rule
about wearing your hat in elevators
in the presence of women. In pri-
vate elevators it is customary to re-
move their hats when ladies are in the
elevator with them, though this Gus.
tom is by no means universal. In
public elevators the uncovering of the
head In the presence Of women is not
considered the thing[especially since
the rise of the "suffragists" and the
appearance of the "hobble skirt"
This whole matter of wearing the hat
in the elevator, whether the elevator
be public or private, is one of no very
grave Importance. No sensible WON
an will think i'll Of you If you keep
your hat on-especially II the day hap
pens to be a chilly one.
