Mr.. Cobb replied that the German

In other Words commented Lord
Kitchener, "the Germans prepared
their alibi after the act was committed
which weakens the alibi without ex-
cusing the act. 1t is a poor defense
that must be changed in the middle Of
the trial.
War has it's ethics, which often up

my conception, his proper and ordained

and shall enroll hired executioners and
send them forth against our enemy
with guns and hangman's nooses and
firebrands in their hands.
Years ago, in the Soudan, was

themselves tell us, are the exclusive

Tho Other End.-The acquisition OF
a brand-new Brazilian dreadnaught
by Turkey recalls the story OF the
Turkish admiral who had been newly
appointed to the command Of the
Aegean squadron. He installed him
self in the admirals quarters-which
opened to the sternwalk-on board
the new flagship one evening, and
went to bed. Next morning he awoke
and ordered full speed ehead. After
a little delay the propeller began to
revolve. but as it had not moved since
the ship was sold to Turkey-at more
than cost price by power which had
no use for tit made a tremendous
racket

in the name Of the prophet is this up
roar?"
THAT, excellency, is the propeller"
replied the captain.
stop it, them"
1t was pointed out to the admiral
that stopping the propeller resulted
as a rule in the stopping Of the ship
likewise.
"Then take the thing off," beloved
the naval autocrat, "and put 1t on the
other end"

The Right seent-A certain English
humorist, visiting America, was spend
ing the week in town on Cape Cod.
One afternoon he boarded a trolley
car and found the only available seat
next to a roughly dressed. hale and
hearty down-easterner. The English
mans jaunty cane and neat outing
clothes evidently attracted and anus
ed the workingman, for after a min
ute or two Of inspection and with a
quick look at his friends across the
car, he touched a finger to his cap.
Excuse me. SIR" he inquired, but
don't you come from Manchester-by-
the-Sea?"
The Englishman adjusted the well
known monocle, exaggerated his
stare, and replied:
Bah Jove! How did you surmise
1t? And am I wrong in thinking that
you are from Glouchester-by-the-
smell?"

Praises State Warehouse Act.
Senator McLaurin told Of the very
excellent cotton warehouse act which
has been passed in South (arolina,
and said that the other cotton growing
states were expected to pass some
such legislation when they next met.
Under the provisions Of the act the
state Of South Carolina operates the
warehouses and issues the receipts
against the cotton stored therein in
the name of the state. The state
guarantees the grade Of the cotton
and suits may be brought against the
Stdlt ny uOlucIS VI tHC iCSCiDto III SdoS
Of disagreement AS result the
warehouse receipts are available for
discount under the Federal reserve
act
Senator McLaurin said he thought
the action of the National City bank
in establishing branches in South
America was one Of the biggest steps
taken for a long time.
1T is a bold step and good one,"
he said, land it deserves the hearty
support of tn administration in
Washington. 1t is a shame that
heretofore Americans doing business
with South America should have to
purchase their exchange in pound
sterlings and do business via England.
This action Of the National City bank
has changed all that and placed the
dollar on a par with the pound
sterling. If we could only have
great American merchant marine now
to carry our manufactured products to
South America and carry back to US
their raw products 1t certainly would
round the matter out in fine shape.
Then the South Americans would
surely be more willing to trade with
us than they would with England and
Germans. York Sun.
