SIGNS OF THE TIMES

Have you ever noticed how the ice-1
box door hangs open. One of them
is everlastingly open and the hot air
from the outside is just eating up
your good ice that you have paid for
at taxicab rates. We have an opinion|
upon this subject We believe thar
the ice trust holds stock in the refrig-|
orator factories and that every iee-I
box is so made that at least one dooE1
will hang open.
A bolt of lightning made an IlHl
nois man walk. Betting on the1
horses will make almost any mani
walk.
Henry Few Sessions, of Georgia.
ought to be a good man for tho
Supreme Court.
One of Professor Taft's chief conf
solutions is that he doesn't have ID
live in Washington in this kind OF
weather.
The chances are that Huerta Will
have to resign as president of Mex
leo before anybody had recognized
him as such.

for blessings and benefits, words of
encouragement and deeds Of gener-
osity no matter from whom they
come. With this preamble we desire
to state few of the things for which
we are thankful. We are thankful
that Mrs. spasmotic spankhurst is
preparing to leave this country and
tender her our heartfelt thanks for
making her visit so brief. We are
thankful that the Bull Moose party
continues to bob up sereneiy IN
places. This would be q dull old
world II there was no one to cut q
few droll dldoes occasionally. We
are thankful that Joe Cannon con-
tinues to smoke long, black cigars
and pour volumes of vinegar on sane
titled humbugs. We are thankful
that there are few greater nuis-
anccs on earth than the West viz
ginia university, though candor COM
pels us to admit that there are only
Il few that surpasses that alleged edn-
cational institution In bOundless egg
tism and sinearcase snobbishness.
We are thankful that the Opaque ana
oily orchard inspectors were too lazy
or too cowardly to make their regu-
lar circuit this year. We are thank
full that few journals have sufft-
cient respect for their readers to re-
rrain from continually torment
ing them with football flapdoodle.
We are thankful that It is only occa-
sionally that a groom contributes
tainted money TO secure lurid and
laughable wedding notice. We are
thankful that artificial archangles
and egottstical and the cratic evan
gelists are not controlling the minds
of mankind as OF yore. We are thank
full that common sense is not an un-
common trait and that dismal dog
mas are rapidly decay:ng. II any
one can demonstrate why we should
not be thankful for these things. we
shall be thankful for the demonstra-
ton. S. c. MUsGRANE.
