Food for Thought.
Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor:
Just one more word on the liquor
question: Yesterday l asked Coroner
Flowers to give me the record of
lnquests held in Sumter county dur
ing the last three years OF the dis
pensary, from August, 1907, to Au-
gust, 1910, and the record for the
three years of no dispcnsary from
August 1910 to August, 1913. Here
it is:
lnquests under dispcnsary. .64
inquest under no dispensary ...34
Think on these figures citizens and
vote against the dispcnsary.

Mr.. sepas0eIhaussnas Idea 81 Postal
Ncards, However. Worked Very
Well for q Time.

Mr.. SpiegelhAusen found 1t hard 70
remember 1t homo certain things he
had thought OF In business hours. and
conversely matters that occurred to
him at night would escape his mind
before he reached the ONCE next
morning. After trying various un-
successful methods Of memory cult
vation, he hit on the plan of writing
postal cards to himself and address
Ing them to the other place from
which ever he happened to be in at
the moment. Thus the last mail
would bring to the house one or more
cards with such a memo. scrawled
upon 1t: Remind Mrs. 8. to give
my coat to cleaner" and vice versa
the first mail downtown would re-
mind him: See ]. T. w. in re. thou
sand lot umbrella canes"
For a time this served the purpose,
but presently his precise and tarsee-
Ing mind began to anticipate and
work more and more in advance, SO
that on q Monday night he would
mail a card from home saying: BE
sure to send card from office tomor-
row to remind yourself of dinner en-
gagement Tuesday" Then he got to
jotting down appointments on postal
cards a whole week ahead, sending
other cards to warn himself when to
drop them In the letter box, and final
ly his harassed brain refused to work
any longer on such a strain.
One evening his wife asked him
whether he had thought to attend to
the season tickets for the opera, and
he replied with a sheepish attempt at
laughter: Il suppose that was on the
pile Of cards on my desk this morn
ing. I saw the postman bring them,
but I forgot to turn them over and
see what they said"

RECORD OF CRIMINAL LIVES
Book Which Would Be CONDEMNED
Today Read by Men and Women
q Few Generations Ago.

One of the scarce books which has
to be sold at ar approaching auction
sale in this city bears this fascinat-
ing title: The Lives of the Most Re-
markable Criminals, Who Have Been
Condemned and Executed; for Murder.
Highway, House-Breakers, Street Rob
berries, Coming or Other Offenses;
from 1870 to the Present Time" The
present time" referred to In this IT,
tie was only the year 1875, SO that
the whole period covered by these
thrilling and numerous criminal lives
was only Is years. 1t must have
been a great time for criminals. for
between the covers of the book are
the stories Of Jack Sheppard, Kennedy
the Pirate. Jonathan Wild, Mrs. Grit
fin, Edward .Burnsworth. William Bar
wick and several other quite cele-
brated criminals. Cheer up! Those
were worse times than ours for GRIM
inality-and those we're the days, too,
when men and women were hanged
for burglary. counterfeiting, sheep
stealing, and ever poaching and Snug
Cling.
An odd thing about that time. too,
was that hundreds of books we're print
ed which contained full and harrow
ing details Of murder and robbery,
and that almost everybody, including
clergymen and delicate ladies, read
these books eagerly as fast as they
came out. The oldest public libraries
In New England contain, in the book
collections which were spread before
the youth of the community, many
such criminal lives.-New York Mail.
