GREAT TEACHERS.
BY EMMA RoDEMEyER WATT

Our great sorrows are the teachers
 That lead upward to the height, Where we seem to catch vision
 Kept concealed from mortal sight. Oft through them we are trans6gured, Earthly things seem passed away, Till we're granted just foretaste
 Of that bright, eternal day. We've been led along the journey
 By the paths the saints have trot, Till we've touched the healing fountain The sanctuary of our God.

CANNOT CONVICT
UNDER WEBB LAW

Knoxville, Tenn, May 26.-That
no conviction can be secured under
the provisions of the Webb act was
the statement of Judge E. T. Sanford
in his charge to the federal grand
jury today.
The Webb act was delineated as an
act that had no power to inflict a
penalty and therefore, it was ex-
planned, no conviction could possi-
bly, be secured under it's provisions.
Its chief worth was stated to be
that it removed from interstate ship
pers of liquor the protection of fed,
eral legislation and gave the states
greater freedom in enforcing their
respective liquor laws.

The Gossip.

Who wags her tongue from morn till
night,
From night till morn, the whole year
through?
Whose presence on this orb's blight
A blight to me, a blight to you?
The gossip's
Who prizes into your own affairs,
And smacks her devilish lips with
joy,
Who opens wide her nav and stares
Who would all peace on earth de-
stroy
The gossip.
She talks because she loves to hear
The dulcet sound of her sweet voice;
She whispers softly in your ear
The thing that make OLD Nick re-
joice.
The gossip.
She draws conclusions with great
skill
She thinks that two and two make
ten
Where'er she goes she sticks her bill
Into the affairs of men
The gossip.
She smiles, she smirks, she bows
with grace
"What have you dear to tell?"
Who'll have the lowest, hottest place
In deepest, nethermost hell?
The gossip.

Report From Governors Office

According to assistant state auditor
F. P. Jameisons who has been check
ing over the accounts in his office,
there was in the maintenance fund for
the executive mansion a balance OF
about $740, when Governor Lister took
office, instead OF only about $24 as was
reported. The mistake was due to an
error in book keeping, and resulted in
the legislature putting through a bill
appropriating $3.50 for the mainten-
ance of the governors mansion until
April /, the end of the biennium. 1t
has been the practice to allow about
S155 per month for this purpose, but
if the bill passed by both houses be-
comes law Governor Lister will now
have about $500 month. 1t appears
that Governor Hay, instead of over
drawing the account left for Governor
Lister about s276 which he was en-
titled to spend.

Some American Made Wares That the
World Wants and Must

The wide distribution of article

Division Of the Bureau OF Foreign anc
Domestic Commerce. Barbed wire
fly paper, telephones, boots and shoes
automobiles, wire nails, motion picture
films, flying machines, telegraph in
struments, locks, hinges, razors, bath

by gasoline, stationary engines oper-
ated by gas, electric locomotives,
elevators, cotton gins, cash registers,
and cream separators-are few of the
numerous products of American inge-
nuity distributed over the entire globe.
The designation made in America"
is evidently recommendation through
out the world. Wire nails, for in
stance, one hundred and forty mill
ion pounds to no less sixty
countries in 1912. American tele-
phones and telegraph instruments
went to such distant places as British
Africa, Egypt, Australia, New Zealand,
the Philippines, Korea, Java and the
Canary Islands. The value of scien-
tific instruments and apparatus ex-
ported from our shores, according to
the calculation of Moody's Magazine,
reach total of over thirteen million
dollars. OF this amount one million
dollars went to Cuba, four and one
quarter million dollars worth to Can
ada, and one and one-half million dol
lars worth to the United Kingdom,
while among the other countries and
communities to which they were dis
tributed are Siam, Portuguese Africa,
Ecuador, the Straits Settlements,
Egypt, Trinidad and Tobago, Peru,
Asiatic Russia, and Bolivia. Even
such comparatively unimportant arti-
Gle OF commerce as fly paper went to
approximately seventy five countries
and colonies. American barbed wire
serves the agriculturist in every grand
division OF the world.
