RETALIATION. WITH A POINT
German Florist, Goaded Beyond Bear
Ing, Finally Driven to a Really
Neat Comparison.

'Thou are like unto a flower"
MARBLES the German poet to his love.
A certain exasperated old German
llorist and nurseryman who -four
ished half century ago in New
York was accustomed to assert with
equal positiveness that a flower is
like a woman.
He had many women customers
whose trade he appreciated, but
whose demands often drove him to
rumple his outstanding Teutonic
brush Of hair until he looked like
an angry parrot. He finally unbos-
omed himself to the husband Of one
of them, whose diary has preserved
his words:
VI have so much trouble with the
ladies when they coome in to buy
mine rose They wants him hardy,
they wants him double, they wants
him mundtly, hey wants him fra

FELT He HAD KICK COMING
village Grocery Man Really Should

Interests separate.

At a recent social session in Mount
Holly, Surrogate Joseph Huff, Of
that place, told Of an incident which
convincingly demonstrates that some
kicks are eminently justified.
In a certain section Of jersey, so
ran the story Of the surrogate, there
is village grocery store, where, be-
sides salt and prunes, everything
may be purchased from collar for a
pet rhinoceros to a sprocket wheel
for a pinola, Together with this the
grocery store is the local post Office
A few days ago a farmer entered
the store with something on his
mind, and after taking a fresh chew
Of tobacco to fortify himself, he

ference In the Matter.

A fine Scotch collie owned by G. J.
Rodman recently gave birth to seven
pups. A Barred Rock hen Of the
same establishment Matched out a
brood of ten peeps" about the same
time, writes a haven't CO., CORE
spondent Of the New York Evening
Telegram. The collie, with her pups,
were placed in a small kennel near
the coop where resided the hen and
her brood. On the same day the col
lie and the Barred Rock decided to
swap families. That night Rodman
came home and found the collie with
the peeps and the Barred Rock
with the pups They were both
mothering their families and the
pups and 'peeps" appeared content
ed with the change.
The next morning Rodman gently
placed the collie with her puppies
and the hen with her peeps" Dur
ing the day Mrs. Rodman was forced
to free the hen and collie because
of the racket they kicked up.
No sooner were they free than the
Barred Rock took possession of the
puppies and the collie lined her
brood Of ''peeps" up around her.
When Rodman came home in the
evening he saw the lay of things and
refused to interfere further. Now
the collie has her peeps" and the
hen her puppies.

Mr.. A. ID. Miller, who is making a
strong and aggressive race for the
nomination for Representative, asks
US to state to the voters that he is an
ardent advocate of the County Unit
Bill, and if elected, will do anything
in his power to see that no effort to
repeal this bill is successful. He is an
ardent temperance man from convic-
tion, and during his editorial control
of the Climax, was always found on
the right side fighting for the good of
his community and his state on this
important question. If elected he will
be found on the right side at Frankfort,
and there is little doubt that men of
his caliber will be needed, as the
whisky forces will do everything possi-
BILE to enact new legislation favorable
to their cause. A vote for Miller is a
vote against saloons. Remember this
when you come to the polls. Further
more he is a capable man along all
other lines, and would in every way
make a member of whom his consti-
tuents may be proud. 2t. adv.

ing the summer here. Mrs. Panther,
who was formerly Miss Edna Giunchig-
liani, is well known for her musical
ability by all music lovers of Richmond,
her home town, but il has been some
time since she has been heard here in
concert. Since leaving Richmond Mrs.
Panther has made remarkable progress
as concert pianist and has concertized
with her husband in many towns in In
diana, Ohio, Kentucky and Illinois, and
has met with great success. The last
time she played before Richmond aud
ience was more than two years ago,
when she appeared as soloist and accom-
panist with the Lyric Quartet, a we'll
known Cincinnati organization. Mr.. Pan
ther also sang in this concert as tenor

partment of the Terre Haute Conserva-
tory of Music and is we'll known as So

Box Supper a Success.

The box supper at Concord school
house on Saturday night was a saccess.
A large crowd was present and every
body had good time. The boxes sold
for s20.65, due very probably to the good
work of Coz" Pleas Broaddus, who
outdid himself as auctioneer. A portion
of the money taken in was applied to the
organ fund, which liquidated the debt
that has been standing for some time.

Helping The Consumer Helps
Business.

The business philosophy Of downward
tariff revision is summed by the Kansa,
City Times in single sentence; What
ever helps the consumer helps those who
supply the consumer"
If the prosperity of the United States
were dependent upon any one group ol
men or interests, what particular well
fare would be a guarantee of the COM
mon good, then the special favors which
the high tariff has granted might be de-
fensible, if not praiseworthy. But the
fact is that the prosperity of this coun-
try depends upon the welfare of the av
erage citizen-the average laborer, the
average farmer and merchant and bust
ness man. whatever his pursuit may be.
1t is from those unknown and innumer-
able little streams that the great tides of
commerce gather volume and flow free
ly onward with enriching power. And
SO any system that burdens or hinders
their course is inexpedient as well as
unjust.
The high protective tariff has been
ma intained on the fallacious theory that
the way to make the nation prosperous
is to tax the rank and file of the con-
sumer for the benefit of comparatively
few special interests. The result has
been prosperity of kind, no doubt; but
not the kind of prosperity that counts
for national strength and progress. The
important thing is, as President Wilson
has so aptly said, not that the major
ity of the people shall be permitted to
share in the prosperity of few, but
that they shall be free to originate pros
perity of their own.
This is the great heritage of business
liberty which a thorough downward re-
vision of the tariff will vouchsafe. By
overthrowing monopoly, it will open the
way for individual enterprise and initi-
alive. By lifting a tax from the income
of the average man and the average fam
lily, it will clear and quicken the COM
mon channels of trade The country
awaits the effect of the pending tariff
bill, which now seems assured of an ear
ly passage. not only with confidence and
equanamity, but also with hope, for bet
ter times. Speculative business of
Wall Street." as the Times says, may
be as fearful now as it always is when
any change is coming. But you cannot
make merchants afraid of a condition
that means there will be more money to
spend and more people that have it to
spend it. Whatever helps the consumer,
helps those who supply the consumers.

The Ballots.

The Climax has been and is yet busy
getting out the ballots to be used in the
primary of August 2. For Madison coun
ty 70 books are required and those to be
used in the four Richmond precincts are
pretty large ones. There are % pre-
cincts in this good county and as three
parties are asking nominations, there
will be three books to each precinct
one for the Democrats, one for the Re-
publicans and one for the Progressives.
Each ballot has to be printed on both
sides, perforated in two places, number.
ed in two and then bound, trimmed,
labeled, etc, etc. So it will be seen that
there is some work about the job. Some
500 or more pounds of paper were re-
quired to print them. We are glad to
state that the Climax, which takes some
pride in doing the big jobs, was able to
turn out this order and many other
heavy ones, including a book, without
engaging extra workmen, those of the
force doing double duty some days and
nights. 1t is pleasure to have such a
force. but then it is good to have such a
business proposition as the Climax is.

US that the elder Gwynne. Rev. w. B.,
is making a strong race for the Demo
cratic nomination for State Senator,
and that the knowing ones are not only
saying he will win, but are betting odds
on it, We had the pleasure of meeting
Rev. Gwynne when he visited his son
here some months ago aud were very
much impressed with the splendid old
gentleman. He is one of the few
preachers who have been consistent
Democrats and he is truly one of the
old school. We are told that Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction Barks-
dale Hamlett, who is not an admirer of
DIR. Gwynne because of an imaginary
grievance, is stumping the district for
Mr.. Ford, his opponent, but that he
is fighting waning cause. Seems to
US that Mr.. Hamlett had better remain
at Frankfort and attend to the duties
for which he was elected. IL is not his
fight, TO say the least.

BROWNING AND SUFFRAGE.

Robert Browning was at one period
of his life an enthusiastic advocate
of votes for women. ''He approved
of everything that had been done for
the higher instruction of women"
writes his biographer, Mrs. Sather-
land Orr, "and would, not very long
before his death, have supported
their admission to the franchise.
But he was so much displeased by
the more recent action of some of
the lady advocates of women's rights
that, during the last year of his life,
after various notifications Of opin-
ion, he frankly pledged himself to
the opposite view" At one time, it
appears, Browning contemplated
writing play in support of the
movement. Had this design been
carried into effect, Miss Elizabeth
Robins would have been anticipated
by about twenty years.

WITH ONE HOOK AND EYE.

Some clever and practical dress
maker in Paris has invented a gown
made all in one and fastening with
one single hook and eye at the back
of the waist. This is one of the most
ingenious and interesting inventions
Of the hour. The ordinary dressma-
ker inficts upon her clients a great
number of fastenings, whether hooks
or buttons or patent "clickers," a
capital word invented for them by a
mere man and Ineligible to every
woman.
But the new invention dispenses
with all but one strong fastening at
the back. One is into the gown in
half moment, and out of it almost
as speedily. The gratitude of wom-
en- all over the world is due to the
clever inventor.
