Esaka sf q etrona Man.

Well known in the old buffalo days of Saskatchewan was Joe Reaupre, famed thousand miles as the biggest eater in the north. Joe was not six feet tall, but he was a broad, deep, thick sort of man, with hand like a ham and stomach like nothing else in the world. He would eat an entire boxful of apples at one sitting and think nothing of it. Once, having encounter ed a gentleman who thought he was some eater, Joe consumed f1fty-three pounds of buffalo meat in one day and topped off with a raw turnip, six pound piece of pork, some lard and two loaves of bread. The best his competitor could do was thirty seven pounds of meat. Beaupre was so strong he never would fight any man for fear he should kill him. One day. while sledding on a narrow trail with an obstinate horse, he became angered, struck the horse on the head wiah his fist and killed 1t. He loosen the harness and threw the dead ani0'I on one side of the trail. He never really knew how strong he was. Beaupre died of rheumatism while still a young man.-Saturday Evening Post.

Liftinq Dead Weiuht.

There is a more or less popular belief that it is easier to lift up living body and carry it some distance than to carry a small, compact ''dead' weight, such as iron dumbbells. Somebody sev- eral thousands of years before any art of writing was invented imagined this thing and told it to his next door man. He told it and so all along the ages and centuries. Pure Authorization, along with hundreds of others now injuring this modern scientific age. If a person weighing 15o pounds appears lighter than anything weighting fifty or seven ty-6ve pounds, it is simply because 8 distorted mind of some weak man imagined it. maybe 100000 years ago.

Immoral and immoral,

Are you immoral or immoral? Do not answer too quickly, for if you are only immoral we may be able to over- look it. Immoral stands to immoral in much the same relation as unregener- ate stands to degenerate. If you com- init some act of which the arbiters of ethics disapprove the category that you go in all depends on whether the arbiters have previously brought the ethical constitution and bylaws to your notice. If they have already told you that a certain thou shalt not exists then you are immoral if you disobey 1t. If. however, you are still in an iun- taught state of sheer savagery then you are merely immoral, and instead of being the victim of execration and contumely you are entitled to all the emoluments and perquisites of any other savage. Ignorance of the civil or criminal laws excuses no one, but ignorance of the moral law does count for a little these discriminate days Ellis O. Jones in Lippincott's.

Father is an advertising man and has had the misfortune to be laid uI with the rheumatism. For some time, when he has been able to walk at all, he has limped along at a snaifs gait with cane. Things seemed blue enough. but it was for his small son to point out that which. in the little boys mind. was one of the large hene. fits of the situation.
 They had walked down the street to- gether. and dad had been stopped sev, eral times by people who wished to know what was the matter or to in quire how the disease was progressing

Memory.

@ Memory is that faculty of the mind which enables us to know that we have forgotten something. Without memory there would be no history; hence no fiction.
 Memory furnishes the only back ground for liars that is needed. It enables many people to labor under the continuous illusion that there is a past, when in reality there is nothing but X present.
 Without memory there would be no worry. because worry is fear for the future. based on recollection of what has happened-usually to someone else.
 Memory enables us to store our minds with useful facts-until they are prov ed to be wrong by other useful facts which in turn take their place.-Life.

PAGE SEVEN

Not one Of the guilty mans lawyers asked
me for space to reply.
Luther Rosser could have got all he wanted;
but he didn't want any
Reuben Arnold could have got all he
wanted; but he didn't want any.
Dick Gray and Jack Cohen might have
answered in the J0nnaz: they did not try.
They hnea0 they were wrong, and their con-
sciences made them wilt.
Some day, as pass along some other street,
they viii rush out and stab me in the back,
saying that it is because Of something else
but it will be on account Of their own shame
ful betrayal of the State in the Frank case,
and the swift punishment which that betrayal
received.
Neither did the worthy Adolph Ochs Of the
New York Times, or the Pulitzer brothers of
Tile Vo7d, continue their yiIlifcaton Of the
courts and people of Georgia: they suddenly
saw what Burns game was; and they left
Frank to the Law and to his God
Let no young man be carried away by the
noise and the glitter and the lure Of the carli-
val In the streets. Let no young man yield
his service to the idols Of the market place
The granite bases of Right remain where
Jehovah placed them: the way of the trans
gressor is as hard as it ever was: the straight
and narrow path leads to the Holy of Holes,
as it ever did the melody has never vet been
heard on this earth that is more infinitely
pleasing and soothing than the inner voice Of
the approving conscience.
Let the wicked try never so passionately to
hide the eternal lines of Right and Wrong:
they may be hidden from the sight Of the
reveller and the fool, but they are there,
nevertheless; there. IN great straight lines that
have never wavered; there, in the rigid
divisions which caught the rays of the morn
Ing stars when they sang at the birth Of
virgin world.
And there they remain, fixed. unaltel able,
unrelenting; and he who thinks he may for
get them, Or scorn them, or destroy them, is

Chlef Of just such an agency as, WILLIAM

When he ran away from Atlanta, his
intended destination was not Oklahoma, as
he pretended, but Denver, Colorado, the
clearing house for his desperadoes.
A Detective Agency which becomes a law

defeat the ends of Justice. threatens to expose
the frallties of young women if they don't

an affidavit under false pretenses from an
unsuspectlng white girl to use in behalf of
black trollop, and thus drag an honorable
name into the unutterabe filth of the Frank
case; hires poor unbalanced preacher to sign
a statement that carried absurd invention on

State to prevent the nasty exposure that was
certain to be developed by a cross-examina-

Glory be to God There's life in the old
land yet. All honesty is not dead. Duty
remains where Robert E. Lee put it, "the
sublimest word in the language" There's
something yet in old Georgia that all the
money on earth can't buy, and all the arts and
tricks of detectives can't deceive.
Like a Rock IN stormy ocean, our judi
clary stood firm.
Like a pilot who knows not fear, and whose
sole aim is to hold the rudder true, Hugh
Dorsey, the States LAWYER revealed ster-
ling manhood that klndIes admiration.
And from one end of our good old State
to the other--from the Savannah to the Chat
tahoochee. and from the mountains to the
sea, the hearts of the people have beat nobly
true to the eternal dictates of Law, even
handd Justice, impartial punishment for
legally established Crime
There is scum on the surface of the waters,
and mud at the bottom, but the grand
stream of humanity in Georgia is as
pure as it ever was-not to be corrupted,
not to be checked not to be turned aside
from the God-marI1ed channels of Right.
We learned that in the Frank case.

Let us not be deceived by the evident inten-
ton to make Burns the scape- goat
Tt is not fair. That rascal tried to do what

What else did Haas exnect of him? What
else did the Atlanta papers expect of him?
What else did the firm of Rosser, Brandon,

What did they fancy he was doing with those
enormous sums of money?
Would the Haas brothers be willing to
publish, under oath, the amount of money
that was placed at the disposal of Burns?
No: they qol1z not dare to do It, Why?
Because the prodigious total would prove
how deeply they felt that Frank Is guilty.,
and cannot be SAVED By fair, legitimate METH

No innocent man, Jew or Gentle, needs
the huge outlay Of finance, the varied machin-
cry Of intimidation, and the systematic
muzzllng Of the local papers, that was prac-

What trail of slime that horrible attempt
to debauch the State of Georgia has left
behind
There isn't a right-thinking man of US who
does not feel troubled because of Governor
Slaton's connection with the lawyers of the
defense.
The private detective Of the Governors
law firm, made the Governors own private
roon-with the name "SLATON" on the
door-the scene of his dirty work From
that room, c. ". Butler sent the threatening
message which was meant to give a girl wit
ness for the State the option of periuring
herself, or being viciously talked about Vir-
tually, the threat of Butler was-"Periure
yourself for Frank, or I'll drive you out Of
the company Of decent people,"
That such man should be in the employ
of Governor Slaton's firm! And that the
Governors own room at the firms head
quarters should be used for so vile pur-
pose!
l am far from believing, vr suspecting,
that the Governor had any knowledge Of
what his employee and his partners we're
doing. But haven't things come to deplora-
bic pass, when oar Chief Magistrate, is so
closely related by law to such lawless doings,
as Butler and Burns have been carrying on?
Charity is extremely generous when it
acquits Rosser, Arnold, Slaton, ct al. of being
morally certain that Burns and Butler and
Lehon were knaves, knavishly working at
this case.
Tn the back park of the old Webster Spell
ing Book, Governor Slaton no doubt saw and
read the story of the good dog Tray, who
suffered because he was found in bad COM
pany.
Our Governor has been in Extremely bad
company, for almost two years.
With absolutely no axe to grind, with no
other motive than that which should actuate
any other good citizen, I have written of
this case-never having published word
about it until after the bulldozing and utterly
deteetablp editorial in the Atlanta J0wn0l
had failed to provoke single word of protest
from the other papers.
Then, and not until then, The Jefersonjaaa
spoke, and its voice was that of the Law, as [
was taught the law; that of Justice, as [
understand Justice; that of Truth, as God
gave me to see the truth.
