REAL ORIGIN OF "sHoW ME"
Secret Service Man Tells How Phrase So Generally Applied to Missouri
 Started.

You'll have to show me-Tm from Missouri"
 How often you have heard that phrase, incidentally, how tired you have grown of it. But maybe there was a time when you wondered where it originated.
 Matt Knapp, a secret service detec- tive of Kansas City, says it grew out of the enactment of the Missouri mar riage laws. Prior to 1881, Missouri had about the zero in marriage laws, MT. Knapp says. Any couple who had the inclination and could find justice of the peace, or a preacher, could join hands for better or verse, and didn't have to say anything to the state about it.
 No questions were asked about ages, or consent of parents, and unwilling justices and preachers seldom were found. Other adjoining states strove for years to get Missouri to pass some state marriage laws, because young people from Kansas, Iowa, and other states could step across the line, hol- Ter at a justice, and be married in hurry-up style. and there was no state regulation of 1t.
 In 1881 law was passed making it a misdemeanor fer a preacher or justice to marry persons net having state license, and setting the age of marriageable women at eighteen years. If the applicant for license did not know the age of the bride-elect, he had to produce her to the license clerk ard let him judge her age.
 When the applicant went back after the girl, she asked the reason, of course, why she had to go along to get the license. When tcld that the law required her exhibition, she remarked, "Oh, you've got to show me, have you?"
 This occurred many times during the first year of the laws effective ness, and became a by-word, according to MT. Knapp.

RIsKED LIFE FOR GLASSES
And the Conductor, With Some Rea- son, Is Wondering Why He Had
 to Have Them.

A well-dressed man stepped in front of an autobus at point on Riverside drive, New York.
 Next time you do that you'll prob ably get run down." growled the chauf- feur, who had stopped the bus with the emergency brakes.
 Well" protested the man, fully half a dozen stages have passed me and I was determined I'd stop this one if I got killed in the attempt.
 Climb aboard and quit your argu- Ing" yelled the conductor.
 ''I don't want to board your old bus" :" replied the man. q want to ask you to do a favor for me. Just climb up to the top of the bus and reach out 70 the furthest twigs among the limbs of that tree that overhangs the drive. Among those twigs you'll find a pair of eyeglasses. They were whisked of my nose last night as I was riding home on the top of one of your stages"
 The conductor followed directions and found the glasses.
 Thanks" said the man.
 Say" remarked the conductor" any man who could see those glasses up in that tree as you did doesn't need four eyes,"

Make Navigation In Focs Safe.

The statement of Captain Roberts of the New York does not clear u7 this second case of ships in a fog knowing each others proximity and constantly communicating, yet unable to avoid collision. If the Pretoria s captain was out of the regular sum- mer course for east-bound transatlan- tic liners, that requires some explana- ton from him. And when he chose to go ahead, after the New York had signaled that 1t had stopped to avoid a collision, he assumed a certain re- sponsibility for which he must ac- count. Nevertheless, it is not yet clear that any real blame attaches to him. But real blame does attach to rules and conditions of navigation which make possible two collisions within a few days between vessels in fog, but fully aware of each others nearness and of the course each was pursuing.- New York Tribune

THIS MODERN EVENING GoW?!
Garment Moved Good Old EthnoIogis' to Remembrance of Forms of
 Salutation.

Her evening gown made the good old ethnologist stare, for it had neither sleeves nor back. and in the skirt of thin white silk panel of lace, running to the knee, revealed the flash of-yes, the good old ethnol1s sist stared. Then he said in his good and simple way:
 You are very beautiful, my child. That gown Is a revelation. And do you know what it reminds me of? It re- minds me of the form of salutaticn practised in Ethiopia
 Tn Ethiopia, when a guest arrives, the host, as a sign of submission, be- gins to disrobe himself. He takes of this, he takes off that, and he would strip himself entirely did his guest not beg him to stop. The guest, of course, gives the signal long before things have gone as far as-as far as"
 The old ethnologist with a smiling gesture indicated the young lGGy's gown. Then he resumed:
 Other nations, too, as a sign of hos pitality, practise this disrcbing act in various minor forms. Thus the H-tin 5 of the hat-isn't that the same thing? Isn't it the beginning, perhaps, of the removal of the coat, shoes, and so forth?
 The Japanese peaeant actually does remove his shoe, as I remove my tile, in salutation. And the people of Ara can remove both shoes as a salute of welcome when out of doors; while in- doors they remove their stockings also.
 And so I tell myself, as look at your new gown, that we also are now adopting the disrobing act as a signal of welcome and spitality-only, Of course, we carry it farther, as we car " everything farther, than mere saw ages.
 And as look at you I am tempted to say in the phraseology of France:
 "'Couvrez vous, ms demoiselle, couv- reg vous.' '"-Exchange.

Remember this, your job is as big or as small as you make 1t. Give a big man small job and you'n see it blossom into manhood. Give a big job to a small man-and before long theren be no job at all.

The A%eropiane.

The effect of the aeroplane in war
fare is shown in the statement by the
official press bureau regarding the
German army corps. Nearly all OF
them, it says confidently, have been
definitely located. Presumably the
German airmen are equally aware OF
the Franco-Belgian concentrations;
and SO for the first time in history O
great war will be fought almost like
a game of chess, where each player
knows the disposition of the adver.
sary's pieces no less than that of his
own. G~eneralship will not be abol
ished by the change; there is general
ship in chess, but 1t will be a great
deal modified. Going back to the last
great wars fought with civilized re
sources, the Japanese won their decis
i've victory at Mukden by bringing vi
an army OF which the Russians were
unaware at a point where they were
not expecting one. Under today's con
ditions of aercplane scouting the bat
tie could not have been won in the
way in which 1t was. Nor could the
battle Of Kirk Kihsseh.

American Military History.

One hundred years & the little
American force pretentiously desig-
mated as the Army of the North re-
tired from Plattsburg to the south
bank of the Saranac river, in readiness
to meet the British army. which was
now almost within striking distance.
General Macomb, the American COM
mander, had about $500 men In his
army, but perhaps less than 1000 were
At for active duty. The British force
numbered between 10000 and $4,000
men, the majority Of whom were vet
Grams in the service. Notwithstanding
the seeming impossibility Of defense,
General Macomb Unanswered his little
army and gathered such reinforce
ments by earnest appeal as to enable
him to anticipate the meeting with the
enemy with the utmost confidence.

COL. THOMAS E. HODGES.


Thomas Edward Hodges, Democratic
candidate for CongresSman-at-Large in
West Virginia, is native son OF the
State, having been born in Upshur coun-
ty December 13, 1858. His career has
been a brilliant and successful one, OBJ
tanning the well earned title OF leader in
educational, business and religious circles.
AS a boy he worked on his fathers
farm and engaged in all OF those occupa-
tions so familiar TO hillside farmers, and
he there acquired those habits ofindustry
and persistence which characterized all
his after life.
After completing the work OF the dis
trict schools, he entered French Greek
Academy, famous preparatory school
at that time. In 1877 he went TO Nor
gantown, where he was enrolled as a STU
dent in the West Virginia University.
His career as a student in that institution
was attended with many scholastic sue
ceSSeS, and he especially distinguished
himself as a college orator. He gradual
ed from the University in 1881. Follow
ing his graduation MIR. Hodges entered
upon remarkable and interesting career
in the educational work OF his native
State. He was superintendent OF the
public schools of Morgantown from 1881
to 1886. In the latter year he was elected
principal Of Marshall College, the State
Normal School at Huntington, which po-
Sitlon he held for period OF ten years.
In recognition OF his services at the head
OF the Huntington institution, he was in
1896 elected professor OF physics at the
West Virginia University. He performed
the duties of this position with distinction,
not only building up his department but
contributing materially through his work
to the general development OF the Uni
verSity. During the thirteen years that
he was professor in the West Virginia
University, he became greatly endeared
to the students OF the institution on ac-
count OF his big heartednesS, and his in
terest in athletics, and all other student
activities tits no dlsparagement to other
teachers 10 say that Tom Hodges was
one of the most popular men that ever
taught in this institution. In 1909 Gov
ernor William E. Glasscock appointed
Mr.. Hodges a member OF the State Board
OF Control, new centralized board Gre
ated by the legislature for the financial
management Of the State institutions.
In 1910 he was elected president OF the
West Virginia University by the State
Board Of Regents, 10 begin his term OF
service in October, 1911. His Inaugural
tion as president of the university took
place on November 3, 1911, and was at
tended by imposing ceremonies in which
representatives from colleges and uni
