HOW TRAGEDY WAS INVERTED
If Train Had Only Come Through His Land Sideways.

In a Tennessee backwoods lived n farmer who, although he had never seen railroad yet had his opinion of them and the mischief which he understood they might cause. Accord ing to his notion, train was as much to be dreaded as a cyclone it. self Great, then, was his consterna- tion upon learning that right of way for railroad was wanted through his farm. He swore by hickory" that no money could buy 1t, Finally land enough for the purpose was condemned and the road built. The day the first train was to pass, the neighhors, knowing of the old fellows opposition, persuaded him. nevertheless, to go with them to see it. As the train disappeared. some one said: You see, Bill, it didn't hurt anything, after ail" Bill was surprised, but hated to abandon his contention that a train would ruin things. Wal, yaas," he said. "I reckon that ye thought say so. but ye see the gosh-durned thing come through here endways. Elf it he'd come sideways, it would busted the daylights outen of every COW in the place"

HE CARRIED AN UMBRELLA,

dear old lady who was very "sot" in her prejudices was asked just why she didn't like certain man. She had no particular reason that she could think of at the instant, but she had been so emphatic in her expression of dis like that she knew she would have to find some excuse-at once Just at that moment she happened to glance out of the window and saw him passing by He carried a neatly rolled umbrella though it hardly threatened rain.
 Quick as flash she answered her questioner, He carries an umbrella whether it's raining or not-he is a softie'"
 But" said her friend. also looking out ot the window, "here comes your son William, and he is carrying an um- brella."
 This did not stump the old lady. But that's another matter-I don't like him anyhow-and besides. it all depends on who carries the umbrella" she replied triumphantly.
 That is the position some people have taken regarding that wholesome and refreshing beverage Coca-Cola. They have said good many unkind things about it and in each instance have had it proved to them that their tales were not true.
 Finally they seized upon the fact that CocaCola gets much of it's refreshing deliciousness from the small bit of caf- feine that it contains. They looked upon that as splendid argument against it. Then, like the old lady who was remind ed of son William, they were reminded that 1t is the caffeine in their favorite beverages, tea and coffee, (even more than in CocaCola) that gives them their refreshing and sustaining quall- ties.
 But does that stop their criticism of Coca-Cola for containing caffeine? No their answer is similar to the old lady's-they say But that's another matter"-what they mean is Being prejudiced against Coca-Cola and lik- ing tea or coffee, it all depends on what carries the caffeine
 We think the joke is on them-for caffeine is caffeine. and If it is not harmful in one it can't be harmful In another, We all know that it is not harmful in tea or coffee-that it is really helpful in whatever 1t is--this is bound to include Coca Cola.
 Of course, the truth is, that having started an attack on false premises and having had what they thought were good reasons for criticism proved to be no reasons at all. they are grasping at an excuse which does not exist, to explain prejudice. So you see, after all, 1t all depends on who carries the umbrella to people who are determined to be unfair. Let us be fair.-Adv.

MUCH LEGISLATION OF VALUE
son to Be Satisfied With Laws Passed In 1913.

Out of 41 state legislatures in ses- sion during the season of 1913. laws dealing with tuberculosis were enact ed in 30 states, while in 34 states con- sideration was given to bills dealing with the prevention of this disease. This is a summary of the legislative campaign for 1913, issued by the Ma tional Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Appro- priations to the amount of over $5, ,000,- 900 have been set aside for the treat ment and prevention of tuberculosis by the various legislatures in session this year. In addition to these, con gress will be obliged to set aside near iy $1,000,000 for the maintenance of the United States public health, the army and navy sanatoria, and the tu- berculosis hospital of the District of Columbia
 Among the notable advances in the legislative enactments of this year are the tuberculosis registration law of Colorado; laws providing for subsidies to local hospitals in Minnesota and Wisconsin, an act providing for the establishment of county hospitals in Indiana, and the establishment of state bureaus for the prevention of tuberculosis in Ohio and California. A complete analysis of the tubercu- losis. legislation considered and enact ed in 1913, Is being prepared by the national association

 One may boil a pudding in a double boiler instead of the old-time pudding Dag. Line the upper part of the boil. with oiled paper, turn in the pudding and 1t will come out in good shape.

An aged negro had been ruthlessly killed, and the only eye witness to the murder was a very small negro boy, When he was called to give his testi- .mony, the lawyer for the defense ob- Jected on the ground that he was too young to know the nature of an oath, and in examining him asked:
